The change to the Kamoshida boss fight make me detest him even more.

Used Raoul and Izanagi-no-Okami and Kamoshida went down pretty quickly.

I feel like both Kamoshida and Madarame were a lot easier this time around. Only other boss I really know the new reputation of is Okumura apparently being much harder but then he was such a pushover in the original game that isn't saying a lot.

Barely 2 in game months into P5R, and I already have one social stat at rank 3 and Ryuji's confidant at rank 8

The guns refilling after every fight combined with the changes to the mechanics of Yoshida's ability makes it hilariously easy to farm money by just isolating an enemy that's weak to gunfire - preferably one that can heal - and just gradually whittling it down until you run out of ammo while constantly asking it for cash. Just got 65,000 yen from a single fight in Kaneshiro's Palace.

Well since Final Fantasy 7 Remake is beaten, time to move on to this. Originally bought 7 from Best Buy but the delivery was delayed almost a week so I got it on PSN instead and traded the copy from Best Buy in for Royal. Just booted it up and already a lot of changes, VERY curious how this all changes things.
Question, it detected my previous playthrough on Original 5 (beaten) and said I should get stuff in my box, is this the normal stuff that you get on a new game + or just some goodies that don't have that level of effect?

It's just some minor healing items and 50,000 yen. Mildly useful early on but not really a gigantic deal.

I remembered hearing that the new game + stuff wouldn't carry over to this one so I was surprised when I saw that message. Went ahead and chose Hard difficulty. Went with normal last time but figured I should change things up more by upping the difficulty this time. Cannot wait to tackle this game head on once I get some homework done.

So, I probably spent more time playing this than I should have at the end of this semester but this game is as addictive as ever. Just got to the new year and I feel like I'm watching an episode of The Flash. Feels like I need to curse Barry for breaking the time-space continuum lol.
-Loving the new mechanics -With a lot of the new ways to up things and more time in general I was able to max a lot more people before the original ending than I did in the previous edition. -Made sure to read a couple things to make sure I was able to get the third semester and get the best ending. (didn't spoil anything though.)
In all I am so happy I picked this up, even after already beating the original.

I’m about 25 hours in so not mega far but I went through a lot in spells.
Like I said before, never finished the first one because I ended up not feeling prepared enough for the boss fight near the end but as Zone mentioned, a lot of the newer mechanics and features felt like it allowed me to get a handle or at least not feel like I was wasting my time doing one thing over another.
And I’m likely to be doing New Game + with this one instead of saying I will and not doing it with the original.

Narratively, all I have left is the third semester’s final boss. Compendium wise, I have a lot of work ahead of me.
Futaba, Haru, and Iwai are the only confidants I haven’t maxed out, but I have all social stats maxed out, so that should be a breeze on New Game+.
I’ve somehow managed to get 82% of the PlayStation Trophies, so me getting Platinum is a real possibility.

I’ve somehow managed to get 82% of the PlayStation Trophies, so me getting Platinum is a real possibility. Yea, I got around 90% or so in one playthrough, stark difference to my first playthrough of the original. Finally beat everything this morning because I couldn't sleep. Damn, I didn't realize you could improve perfection but here we are. Total, about 120 hours give or take, got everyone except - Yusuke, Shingu, Chihaya, and Yoshida- maxed out, romanced Makoto (Ann was my first time through), and I'm trying to convince myself to take a break and not do my New Game + for a bit. Without soiling anything, I really liked the added stuff. Like a lot of this game already, the added content had a lot of good morals to take to heart. Really thinking of doing a Joker cosplay now since I already have the messy black hair and glasses part down lol.

The third semester boss(not giving it away) is easily the best villain in the serious outside of Nyarlathotep. Felt sympathy for him, but could easily realize why his plan is wrong for a variety of reasons.
I also enjoy the return of another specific character, and think their voice actor did an amazing job of performing them in a way that is believable with everything that's happened to them at that point.
And, as mentioned, the changes to a few of the bosses made me hate a lot of them even more. That said, Okumura's boss fight in Royal is one of the worst cases of "fake difficulty" I've ever seen. There's no reason for why they changed the mechanics the way they did for that one.

Took me two days to beat the true final boss.
Problem I had last night was during the second phase, when I got [Redacted For Anyone Unspoiled]'s health low, he'd just annihilate me with Megidolaon.
I finally got past it by just having Joker guard when the health got low enough, and... it was never cast.
Go figure.
Edit: Reloaded a previous save in order to get what turned out to be the least malicious "bad" ending in Video Game History.

I'd like the $100 super ultra mega edition, but I don't want to pay $100 for it. I learned my lesson after MK 11. Wait for a price drop and don't buy video games new if you can avoid it. Because a price drop is likely within 3 to 5 months for most games.

The true final boss was terrific. I like how they handled a new boss after the original's last boss being a god-like being that you shoot in the head.
Damn, wish Persona 4 Golden wasn't a Vita title, I'd like to play the previous titles now to see what I missed out on.

Standard edition price on Amazon has already dropped $10. Hopefully it'll slowly drop further.

Let me just tell you from experience going from Persona 5 Royal to Persona 4 Golden is a MASSIVE drop in pressure. Especially comparing 5’s meticulously designed Palaces to 4’s randomly generated hallways. I only have 4 trophies to get to platinum. I have no idea how I managed to do that.
