Glad you're enjoying it; if you're liking it in the beginning, I'm sure you'll enjoy it even more further in the game.
[MENTION=173]venom[/MENTION] , saw you playing P5 too. Thoughts?

Yeah I have played for about 10 hours and really enjoyed it. I was actually surprised how good the game is even though I dont really like playing turn-based JRPG. But its intimidating to even think that I need a 100 hours to finish up this game. Time is of rare quantity when you are of my age and that this something that turns me off of this game.

Possible ‘Persona 5 R’ Announcement Imminent, Official Domain Updated

This domain had previously been updated for renewal purposes in April 2018. What this recent update consists of is that P5R.JP, previously held for squatting purposes on Onamae (a Japanese domain registrar) name servers as a landing page, has been moved to Atlus name servers.

Whenever these name server changes for Atlus related domains have occurred previously, the game reveals have taken place within two weeks of the update.
Would love a replay of P5 right now since it's been a while. I just hope the updated version isn't exclusive to Switch. Major dick move if that is the case lol

If Persona is becoming multiplatform, I hope this means the SMT games move to PlayStation as well. It's only fair. :p

So who's getting P5 Royal? I left my P5 playthrough close to the end of the first palace due to being extremely busy at the time. Never got back to it, and this seems like a great time to start a fresh playthrough. My only issue is having to dish out another $60 for what is essentially the original game + additional content. Oh, and Pro support lol. [MENTION=26]Chandoo[/MENTION] what say?

I'm super excited but I think I'm gonna defer buying this until its available pre-owned. Already RE3 and FF7 coming out just days after this, both of which are 'new' games compared to P5 which I've already played.

Finished the first palace...okay, that was some serious stuff. Didn't think they'd actually tackle themes like...

Spoiler: show
...teachers sexually abusing students


I'm not aware of the changes made to the boss fight as I never made it that far in the original P5, but it was pretty good nevertheless.

Spoiler: show
Kicking Kamoshida's ass felt good

TLoU remastered too :p

Nothing as good as stripper Risette boss in this one but you're in for one of the best JRPG's of the current generation (y)

The museum palace was almost like an MGS game. Laser traps all over the place, going through vents, taking cover to ambush enemies. This is a vast improvement over P4's generic and boring dungeons. Going from cover to cover and stealthily ambushing enemies is more fun than the actual combat lol. The grappling hook makes it all the more enjoyable, as it can be used to latch onto and ambush enemies from a distance, or to gain higher ground and ambush them from there.

Finished the Bank palace. This place was a freakin' maze. Elaborate puzzles, secret passages, shortcuts that lead back to earlier areas. In a way, it reminded me of some of the intricately designed dungeons from a From Software game. Excellent stuff!

Persona 5 re-release: 94
Back up to 95 after this review.

Gamespot - 10/10

Persona 5 Royal is many things: a collection of small inspiring stories, an ambitious harrowing journey with some good friends, a stunning visual and auditory experience, a resounding call to action. By refining what was already great and building on its best qualities with a brilliant new story arc, Persona 5 Royal asserts itself as an unforgettable and empowering RPG that should be recognized as one of the best games of our time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
