Just play Persona 5. Thank me later. It's extremely good. Story is fucked up jap shit, don't worry about it.

Lanx said:

yea, thats the plan, i'll treat the vita as a pet project to refurb it (i have new shoulder buttons ordered too, whoever had this musta played a shooter or something)

i've never even touched a vita b4, but wow this thing feels better than a switch, it'll be my next "retro" emulator

I do recommend following at least a very basic guide so you don't waste time. Not like waste real world time but Persona 5 is played on a schedule and you can only do so much shit in a day. Certain things can only happen on certain days/conditions and you can really gimp yourself and get stuck in a tight spot if you mess up on this.

No. You are a student in high school and the game is on the high school schedule. So to speak.

It never explains this so here's the overview. Each day is like a pie cut into 4 pieces (the royal version this might be different). An activity takes 1 piece of the pie. But some things don't count and others do. Going around town and shopping and stuff doesn't take any piece of the pie. Doing an activity like going to the cafe, spa, batting cages or something will. Making lockpicks at your desk does.

Always have a book on you because you will get the opportunity to read it on the train sometimes but if you don't have a book you won't be able to. Always use the TV in the coffee shop on Wednesdays to answer the game show question. Try to go to the spa when its raining. Stuff like this.

make sure you get persona 5 royale, not just persona 5 which everyone still sells for some bizarre reason. The changes are pretty massive and they are two completely different games even though P5R is basically P5 with 30% extra content interweaved into the entire game, plus new characters and stuff.

Its currently $40 at amazon and I think best buy etc too, $45 on PSN digital

if you are a PC gamer though you may as well just play P4G instead and see if P5R comes to PC in 6-12 months

When I do replay Persona 5 I'll be happy to do Royale. I just can't be bothered when I have backlog to clean up.

Man, p5 even on hard is easier than normal on the first run. The negotiation prompts on top of the super OP will seed items is making this even more a breeze hah. New stuff being intermingled, and then all the "followup" Confidant stuff giving you a boost to the next meeting? Is making this more than smooth. Really solid though, and I spent a non-zero amount of time playing dollhouse with my thieves' den.

Very cool.
