THIS WILL BE THE P5R THREAD IM SO EXCITED

I will not post spoilers but ill talk about the game and my reaction to it while playing it. Keep in mind ive already played P5

THE INTRO LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOUA CTAULLY GET THE GAME

I LOVE THE NEW MENU AND THE MENU MUSIC. THE TRANSITIONS ARE ALSO SICK AS FUCK

I also bought the legacy, the battle thing with minato and yu, and the persona bundle

ALRIGHT STARTING THE GAME

BEFORE YOU START THE GAME THEY LIST OFF THE THINGS YOU GET AS DLC AND I AM GETTING SO MUCH STUFF. SO MANY HEALING ITEMS AND SKILL CARDS AND STUFF FOR SOME REASON

YES I GET BONUSES FOR HAVING P5 ON MY PLAYSTATION

I LOVE HOW YOUR ARSENE IN THE BEGINNING BIT HAS REALLY STRONG MOVES, HEAVY CURSE AND COLOSSAL PHYSICAL

I LOVE THE FIRST KASUMI CUTSCENE

YOU CAN PAUSE CUTSCENES

I MISS HEARING BENEATH THE MASK

seeing joker's surprised expression while being in igor's prison is so nice to see

a lot of this game feels really new mostly because i started p5 in like late 2018

i love this scene where joker sits in sojiro's car

THE NEW EXPRESSIONS

why do so many kids having masks, how are there that many people who are sick

thank god for the auto diologue thing

ive never really noticed the complaints for p5 when people say you cant do much in the first 5 hours. However now playing it for a 2nd time i definitely can tell. Luckily the auto dialogue helps with this but its still a bit boring. Cant wait till the game picks up...

and i finally can use the dlc personas like orpheus

YOU HAVE UNLIMITED AMMO YES

seeing mishima and shiho just brings the mood down so much

DUDE THE DLC CONTENT + THE STUFF FROM THE P5 SAVE FILE ARE SO GOOD. I GOT 150K NOW PLUS I HAVE AN ACCESSORY THAT BOOSTS EXP BY 15%

i like how the safe rooms are more distorted if that makes any sense, like the doors to it are transparent

THANK GOD YOU GET BATON PASS AUTOMATICALLY AND NOT THROUGH CONFIDANTS

I GET SO MANY STACKED PERSONAS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME BECAUSE OF DLC

I LOVE LOOKING AT MAKOTO YUKIS PERSONAS

i got 3 personas with dlc but i forgot i only have 5 slots for personas lmao, i might just get rid of the dlc personas for now

Im at the point of making the infiltration route so im glad the game will start picking up from here and ill actually be able to do stuff from now on

Also i dont recognize so many of the dlc personas, and why do each of them have the different color variants that are stronger

I HEARD ABOUT THIS BEFORE RELEASE BUT IM SO HAPPY IF YOU BATON PASS TO ALL 4 PEOPLE THE FOURTH ONE GETS TO USE AN ATTACK WITHOUT USING SP OR HP

funny typo, said mp instead of sp

also i love how they specifically chose 4 enemies for that battle so you can baton pass 4 times and see what morgana is talkinga bout

ok so if i have the grappling hook to get past the broken stairs, how are the other 3 gonna get past that

ive replaced all the dlc characters for now, gonna get them when i have enough sp to use stronger moves

i really wonder how else we're gonna be able to use the grappling hook, its such a cool concept

man that will seed was really useful, i was running low on sp

finding the eyes was extremely annoying

i feel like they made it much easier to choose which object youre gonna hide behind, i dont remember you being able to use the dpad for that in reg p5

and completed the infilitration route

not gonna find the 3rd will thing, seems kinda pointless if we are already at the end of the palace

I CAN FINALLY DO THE CHALLENGE BATTLES YES

I miss looking at me completely everything in one day with the infiltration log

im finally free to do whatever and im not stuck with the story not letting me do anything

sent the calling card and i miss hearing life will change everytime i steal a heart

the power in my house just completely shut off :(, luckily i saved and was at the very beginning of the boss fight so i didnt lose much progress

beat this boss, wasnt too hard since i could just keep healing but it was a bit annoying not having media. I also ran out of sp on most of my characters at the end of it so i just used physical attacks

the dlc allows me to have personas of different arcanas so early, this allows me to do the doctor confidant pretty early on which is really useful

really dont like how they made it so obvious who the guy in yellow classes is at the restaurant

I GOT THE THIEVES DEN YES

FUCK POWER WENT OFF AGAIN AND NOW IM SO FAR BEHIND

i dont know whens the last time i saved

IM ALL THE WAY BACK RIGHT AFTER I FINISHED THE BOSS FUCK

im so upset

after around a bit more than 40 minutes im at the general area of where i left off at

ok there we go i caught up, luckily the fast forward thing helped a lot

they introduced mementos :(

dont like jose

i love maruki, his confidant is so overpowered

I CAN GET TWO SP ADHESIVE 3s BEFORE THE 2ND PALACE LETS GO

alright so i think im done playing for now, did a bit a fusing so i can have stronger personas. Im right at madarame's palace so ill finish it tomorrow. Also i cant wait till tomorrow because after madarame's palace ill get kasumi's confidant soon after

love how there are so many safe rooms in the 2nd palace

once again sneaking around feels so much more smoother now. I feel like you were restricted with a lot of your movement in reg p5, however now since you can choose where you go with the dpad you can either decide to attack an enemy, get loot, or move to another place easily

also i believe in reg p5 you werent able to make your camera turn fully which was awful

the yusuke summoning persona scene is really good. I also find yusuke to be really fun to play as

forgot how lame fusion is in the beginning of the game

ok now im gonna stop playing

man why was the last will seed boss thing so hard

and i got all the will seeds

i finished the infiltration route and did a lot of fusing. I now have every element except almighty and bless. I also have multihit moves for fire and psychic on joker, and one of his personas is two levels away from learning a multihit nuke move which is useful for next palace

oh i believe i heard people already talking about akechi

i also didnt even need to use my sp adhesives so i kept the 15%+ xp items on all my characters

i love the grappling hook

finished the boss, it took a bit but other than that it was pretty fun and easy. I loved the new gimmick

I felt like this palace was pretty quick but its easily the best, i also love the way we steal their treasure and we wish we did more of that in the other palaces

also i dont like the black mask comment, i was hoping their story wouldbe better but ig thats late game

also how does he know about the black mask, is he in contact with other palace owners?

unfortunately it doesnt seem like the story has changed nearly at all, at least not till the very end of the game. Luckily I can kinda just ignore text and make it scroll by automatically since i know most of it already

love kasumi

wait why does kasumi's confidant only have 5 levels to it

BATON PASS RANKS ARE OP

i feel bad for makoto

I love akechis confidant

though im really surprised they are showing akechis confidant abilities

this part really is boring

i love how joker and akechi switch hair styles and outfits

IM JUST NOW PLAYING AROUDNW ITH OUTFITS AND THERES SWIMSUITS AND P3 OUTFITS? MORGANAS AIGIS OUTFIT LOOKS SO FUNNY

THEY EVEN HAVE EVOKERS

AHHHH P3 OUTFITS MAKES MASS DESUYTRCTION PLAY

P3 VICTORY THEMEE AS WELLL

aww i wish they used the evokers

i didnt do this last time but im kinda just gonna search up all the pin codes

finished infiltration route and got all will seeds. Also the velvet room alarm thing is weird

MAN DLC IS OP, ALONG WITH THE 15%+ ACCESSORIES I ALSO HAVE 10 ACCESSORIES THAT BOOST THE MONEY EARNED FROM BATTLE

why did he fart on us

man i wish ryugi and makoto used their showtime in the boss battle as the finishing move

also that boss fight was extremely annoying

Wait this thing hints at who the black mask is so much but i cant say what it is due to spoilers

Finished ryugis confidant

Finished anns confidant

They mentioned something about how a palace could exactly replicate real life depending on the ruler, man playing through the game twice really makes you notice certain things

I CAN NOW AMBUSH ENEMIES USING THE GRAPPLING HOOK LETS GO

alsof uck man i keep getting spoiled on so many things, they arent story related but still

did the infiltration route but didnt get the will seeds

finished the boss, i loved the beginning when futaba comes in but the boss itself was pretty boring. It was just kinda constantly attacking it with nearly no gimmicks at all. I only used the ballista like twice otherwise i spent all the time just attacking. The boss was...

also doing a lot of damage so it was a bit hard to constantly heal, i was also running out of a lot of sp at the end of the fight. Luckily the therapist's confidant saved me

maxed out my knowledge

I maxed out the faith confidant and whats interesting is, usually after you finish a confidant it does the same message thing with the intense music playing, but this time it had different text that showed

maxed out my charm

maxed out my proficiency

oh no im at the ryugi and morgana part :(

i fucking hate ryugi we were so clsoe tog etting morgana

also i have nothing to do in the evenings because i have all my necessary social stats maxed out, no reason to work on guts or max out kindness

COMPELTED INFILITRATION ROUTE WOO

didnt bother to get the 2nd will seed

im so excited to see how the end of okumura's palace ends up

THIS BOSS IS SO HARD

I WAS STUCK ON THE GREEN ROBOTS FOREVER THEN I FINALLY BEAT IT AND LOSET O THE FINAL GUY

i fucking hate this boss

they literally fixed nearly everything and decided to give a fuck you with the final boss, this is actually impossible even on easy mode

Ended up using izanagi-no-okami to win

a level 90 with heavy almighty to all foes 3 times

That boss legitimately gave me ptsd, i was planning to plau this game again but after that hell no

Maruki has a big part in the story and isnt just a random councillor isnt he. This is just a guess but i have a feeling theres more to him than just being a supportive person

Finished makotos confidant

AHHH THE NEW PALACE

MARUKI IS THE PALACE OWNER ISNT HE, TO THE NEW PALACE. DONT TELL ME IF THIS IS CORRECT OR NOT BUT I WOULDNT BE SURPRISED IF ITS MARUKI

Finished yusukes confidant

im just fast forwarding ohyas confidant, dont wnana deal with her and im only doing her so i can get fusion bonuses

I HATE THAT YOU HAVE TO INVESTIAGE MEMENTOS REQUESTS IN ORDER TO GO TO MEMENTOS

i love yusuke in the maruki bit between them

OH SOJIRO FINDING OUT ABOUT THE CALLING CARD

jokers dance lmaooo

i get so excited everytime i see new content especially with kasumi

RYUGI ACTUALLY APOLOGIZES FOR YELLING CONSTANTLY WOOO

and doing mementos for the first time with 15 requests ahaha

AKECHIS FOLLOW UP LOOKS SO COOL

hate the fact that soem mementos floors are just pitch black now and it doesnt show the map

i love the new mementos song

also im getting so much xp and money out of this

and futaba's mementos map ability is activating a lot

I used the overpowered persona and for some reason my sp on joker kept raising after each match so it would never go down

ALSO I NOW HAVE 811K DUE TO MEMENTOS WITH MONEY 170%+ MONEY BOOST THANKS TO JOSE AND I HAVE MONEY BOOST ACCESSORIES

70k got sold from treasures

DROPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 116K JUST BY BUYING GEAR LMAO

OH AKECHIS RANK 8 CONFIDANT

FUTABAS RANK 9 IS BROKEN

fast forwarding mishimas confidant as well

AKECHIS 9th CONFIDANT WHAT

HIS TONE OF VOICE

maxed out my kindness

Finished futaba's confidant

finished the infiltration route, that was a decently short palace

also i love the music

YO THE FLASHBACK TO THAT ONE CUTSCENE IN THE BEGINNING THAT MARUKI SHOWS YOU

finished saes boss, was really fun and liked the change. Thought it seems impossible without hifumis confidant

THIS IS WHERE IT HAPPENS IM SO EXCITED

THE BEGINNING CUTSCENE

ARSENE

KASUMI WOOOOO

how did kasumi know we are going for sae

I LOVE THE CUTSCENE WHERE JOKER JUMPS THROUGH THE CLASS AND BREAKS IT

This part is one of the only parts of the story that actually has a lot to it and i love it so much

Just finished the 2 hours of dialogue

I kinda forgot to say a few things about the gsme when i was playing it so ill just talk about it rn

Ive been mostly getting all the personas in each personas except for a few, in the early palaces i got everyone except those that were higher level. However when i through mementos i got those personas that i was missing. I alsi unfortunately missed out on a few in futaba's

and sae's palace. Luckily im pretty sure i got all in okumura. The sun confidant is extremely helpful

I also just want to talk about the cutscenes, literally all of the cutscenes are so good and visually appealing, I love the lighting

I also came up with this theory about the story of p5r and i really hope it ends up to be true https://twitter.com/atepasta/status/1247365297583149057?s=19

i really like this part after sae's palace, especially after everyone's reaction to it

i love that cutscene where they first enter shido's palace. The symbolism behind this is really amazing and i love it

the music is also amazing, if this palace didnt have the rat maze it would actually be the best palace in the game

WHYD ID THEY DENY KASUMI TO BE ON THE TEAM

maxed out my guts

using p4 outfit for this

man this palace would be perfect without the rat puzzles

BLACK MASK BOSS AHHHH

what a timing for a confidant rank up

I GOT AN ULTRA CHARGE FROM FUTABA AS LAST HIT LETS GO

i remember this fight being easier

god damn it

i thought this wouldve changed, im really disappointed

ok so my theory is correct though, most of it at least

finished infiltration, the mouse mazes was boring but im pretty sure they made it less annoying

I LOVE THIS CALLING CARD

NO SOJIRO

time for the best boss fight in the game

and beat it, it was a really good boss

I LOVE HOW HE WAS JUST HANGING THERE SMILING BEFORE HE JUST DIED

Finished haru's confidant

kasumi is showing up a lot :)

the amount of money i get in mementos is now doubled

AFTER MEMENTOS I HAVE 1,200,000 LMFAOOO

i really cant believe we are doing this before kasumis palace

WHY DID IT FORCE ME INTO MEMENTOS I WASNT ABLE TO BUY ANYTHING

i have really fucking good personas now, i at least have heavy with every element

this music is really good

why do they keep dropped shadows right next to us after a cutscene, its impossible not to be seen

i love the grappling hook part into the sliding down the slope

i love rivers in the desert

im really surprised this part is the same as before

i doubt this part would appear before kasumis palace, did i get the bad ending?

persona 5 is over

everyone dies

kinda disappointed this part is still in the game

JOKERS EXPRESSION WHEN HE SAYS I REFUSE LMAO

i dont see how the game continues after this

im almost certain i got the bad ending, they said this is the final battle so????

Yeah its literally just the p5 final boss

alright i beat the boss pretty easily

yo jacket-wearing young man spitting facts

i love when everyone roots for the phantom thieves but i am just really disappointed at the story rn

the satanael summoning scene is so good as well

I LOVE JOKER SCREAMING SATANAEL
