This might be my favorite track in the game. This one is pretty good too.

Getting to go to Sendai in this game is kind of bittersweet for me because I have a job in Sendai working at the prefectural office that I was supposed to start last September but was postponed for obvious reasons, so it’s a weird feeling that it of all places shows up here and I get to “visit” it after a fashion before I actually get to go. I’m really looking forward to going to Kyoto and Osaka too because I’ve spent so much time in both places and I especially love Kyoto more than anywhere else in the world so it’ll be fun just to see the Persona version of it. That’s a huge draw for me.

Also just found out from some Googling, EMMA's voice in the game?
The original voice of Siri.
That's amazing.

Also, ATLUS just provided some new computer wallpaper to coincide with the release. EDIT: And I found out just now they're actually phone wallpapers so booooooo! t.co/MB2EAxdpFo?amp=1

Some of the worst audio issues happen in the third jail with the echo effect they used in the pre-fight scene. The music completely drowns out the voices. Especially the bosses'

I’m getting closer to what I think is the end game and I have to say, really enjoy the voice acting overall but man, Matthew Mercer is having way too much fun as Yusuke. I’d argue he’s better here than in Royal and just has some of the best lines.

That should be fascinating to see because I already like Yusuke so much that it made Chrom retroactively somewhat interesting by association.

Having Susan Bennett(The original voice of Siri) voicing EMMA may be one of the best casting choices in voice acting history.
How in the world did Atlus pull that one off?

I kind of like this game despite itself. The gameplay is so damn janky and it’s hard enough to tell what’s going on that I don’t think I’ll ever get into it on those merits, but I’m enjoying everything else quite a bit.

I'm glad it wasn't just me that had issues with the audio levels being all over the place.
I'm only at the end of the first jail so I'm not that far into the game yet, but I'm enjoying it. I'm not the biggest fan of this style of combat in my RPGs and there is way too much happening on the screen, but playing as other characters and using the surroundings is fun. It's strange to run around the same Shibuya as in Persona 5 only to not have the same level of freedom for shops to visit and things to do though.
I'm looking forward to getting out on the road. I lived in Japan for eight years and have been to all of the cities in the game, so I can't wait to see how they've been realised. Exploring a very realistic version of Tokyo was one of my fave parts of the original.

I'm not reading through the thread to avoid spoilers, but Makoto has been one of my favorites to play as. I get Ken's Rage vibes from her but with a GODDAMN MOTORCYCLE.
That being said, the SP system has been my main complaint so far. I don't feel like I abuse it, but it seems like everyone is depleted early and I have to leave the Jail to replenish it which is kind of annoying. Hopefully it's just an early game thing.

I absolutely will say, as someone who wanted to throttle the SP system in previous games it is WAY easier to find and buy SP items as the game goes on as well as level up everyone’s SP bar then it ever was in either P5 or Royal. And yes, Makoto is Best girl.

And she's by absolute fav, but I've never tried making her my waifu in any playthrough. Accidentally chose Ann in my first play and Kasumi (pls be DLC in the future, PLS) in Royal. I feel like a monster.

Makoto was my bae in my P5R playthrough and I look forward to continuing that in P5S if given the opportunity.

I feel like a monster. Trust me, I had those same concerns but as you go on, you find more stores that sell SP items and Sophia's shop is constantly selling new SP items so whilst there isn't as much as healing items, you'll eventually be able to get in a good rhythm of getting stuff and not needing it. Also the BOND system allows you to grow the bar enough for it to matter a lot less. I tried to romance Kasumi in my second playthrough but never got to the final bit. Rejecting Makoto after the first playthrough was the biggest gut punch I had in a game in years.

The new version of Rivers in the Desert is epic as all hell.
