Anyone else playing this? I never really touched my copy of Vanilla 5 after I got halfway through Madarame's Palace but I've just cleared Junya's Palace and I'm still not burned out or anything despite only having Royal for two days.

I can still see the combat changes like ammo for your guns replenishing after every fight and that helps tremendously with the grinding. All the reviews I read just state the same thing; how it made an already perfect game even better, and unanimous praise all around I can definitely see it. I know there was some complaints about rereleasing 5 on the same system and Japanese players asked why I couldn't have just been an expansion DLC, but with the way the entire system feeling overhauled I don't see why not to rerelease it as Royal when Persona 3 did the same thing with FES.

I've heard these opinions echoed online recently, especially with the new girl added and this completely baffles me.

I see no reason to hate the combat changes in particular unless one was intentionally grinding a certain boss with a cheap mechanic that has been removed Royal. Guns were useless in vanilla because once you ran out of ammo that was it for the entire infiltration. Showtimes are neat mid-battle attacks that are rare so it's not like they're wasting your time so even if they did they're still really enjoyable to watch.

In regards to new SoL/Confidants, you get a whole new semester so it's easier to branch out your interactions with the other characters and with Morgana not forcing you to bed so much, interacting and developing your Confidants is even easier. As for the new girl, like I'm completely dumbfounded that people are having a problem with her. I keep seeing people saying she's forced and pushed on you. She's not even a party member until the new semester and you can decline all her interactions just like everyone else. The only forced interactions with her is the one where you start her social link and small little greetings at the start of your day just like everyone else.

She's nothing like Marie from Persona 4 who was actually forced. They steamrolled her into everything including the Velvet Room which was usually only for the MC.

Just finished Persona 5 Royal.

I'm on the fence about whether or not I liked the original more. On the one hand the gameplay changes through the normal story line made any possible downsides to the base game downright perfect and helped make maximizing social links easier and got rid of most of the grinding in Mementos. On the other hand, the new Palace really overstayed its welcome, rail-roaded your progression, and half the enemies were just downright not fun due to either absorbing or being resistant to almost any attack making them just SP sponges.

Despite having physical copies of both at my parent's house, my PS2 is dead so I went ahead and bought both Persona 4 and 3 FES on PSN for my PS3. Gave me an excuse to dust off the thing from underneath a pile of cables next to all my books.

Never got to really play them when i first bought them for the PS2 because I was sinking most of my free time into FFXII, so I'm starting with 3 FES.

Persona 4 Golden is available on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1113000/Persona_4_Golden/

There's also a $25 deluxe edition that comes with a digital artbook and soundtrack. This is great news and this could also open the way for 3 FES and 5 Royal to eventually make its way on other platforms; although now the Vita lost the one game it had going for it.

That's good and all, but Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne on Steam when?

I don't know if this was a Sega move or an Atlus move, but if it's the latter the chances would be pretty high if this sells well.

Judging by the reaction on /v/, this is a very good move.

EDIT: It's already the top seller on Steam.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
although now the Vita lost the one game it had going for it.
Freedom Wars is the only big Vita title left I can think of. It's a shame that it doesn't have more going on, but that's a failed console's fate I suppose.

God this battle theme is the best out of Nu-Persona; beats both "NEVER SEE IT COMING" and BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY".

FUCK

I spent over an hour grinding in the TV world and the Gods damned game crashed and my last save was right before I started grinding. Granted that's not terribly bad since all I was doing was running around and killing trash mobs, but I still gained an easy ten levels and well over 200k in money and all of it was just thrown away in an instant.

I present to you fine gentlemen: The Ideal Woman.

A living embodiment of perfect womanhood. You may not like it, but this is what peak femininity looks like.
