Real talk though.

1) Go to vending machines and buy SP recovery items, don't worry so much about HP restoring items, you'll find them fairly frequently. These vending machines have limited supply but refresh every week. There's a vending machine in the dorm and one in the mall.

2) During shuffle time after battle prioritize new Personas. If you already have that persona then choose money, you'll need it.

3) Explore everywhere around town for Twilight Fragments. You'll need these to open some chests, check every nook and cranny for them.

Game looks a lot better in 120 fps than the 30/60 fps as you see in the preview videos.

I still wonder why the the dorm lighting is so bad though. I think its some weird artistic choice because the lighting elsewhere in the game so far is good.

Is there anything we need to do to unlock the full game? Like how in 4 and 5 you couldnt access the epilogue unless you maxed out the social link of certain characters.

On P3P if you romance a party member they will be in the last scene. i think they will include it in.

Yes, that's what they used in movies and others.
The first manga named him Minato Arisato but later Atlus decided it's Makoto Yuki.
P4 protag is Yuu Narukami, he also had different name in manga.
Joker is Ren something, can't remember.

That is always how P3MC looked, although for this remake I feel they should have used this smiling face portrait less because canonically he has alway been of a melancholy muted demeanor and it clashes with the general tone and themes of this game outside of happy Social Link moments.

He kinda looks more like he's grimacing than smiling imo.

Near the end of the game you are given a pretty obvious binary choice. One will quickly lead to the end of the game while the other unlocks another month of gameplay. I suppose its possible there is a new super secret ending no one has unlocked yet, however, I doubt that.

I like how they made everything more stylish, but it doesn't feel like p3 painted in the style of p5.

So far though, the soundtrack isn't as good as the original. Probably some nostalgia bias, but the dorm theme went from being my favorite to my least liked.

I'm only half way into month one, so things could change.

I was about halfway into P3P before I took a break, and then they took it off Game Pass.

I kind of have FOMO for Reload, and wondered if I can just start this one, or if it...I dunno, sort of messes with parts of the original game.

Real talk though.

1) Go to vending machines and buy SP recovery items, don't worry so much about HP restoring items, you'll find them fairly frequently. These vending machines have limited supply but refresh every week. There's a vending machine in the dorm and one in the mall.

2) During shuffle time after battle prioritize new Personas. If you already have that persona then choose money, you'll need it.

3) Explore everywhere around town for Twilight Fragments. You'll need these to open some chests, check every nook and cranny for them.

Three vending machines that sell SP recovery items, one at the 2nd floor of the dorm, top floor of the mall and one at the station.

I thought shuffle time was actually quite fun. Glad that is still there. A few times I felt like I got utterly screwed but overall I could get what I wanted. I usually went for experience or money if I knew it would be a lot of money. Plus you could smack down those gold hands for coins too. Sure sometimes they run.

I don't recall being hard up for cash in OG 3 and in P3P I broke the economy without even doing anything special. I kept finding really good weapons and selling them essentially. It was silly.

Sometimes? The hands rarely ever stay for me... Though also encountering them in a pain, as in I rarely ever find one. Makes the quests where you need to kill one annoying.

Well you want to charge them from a hundred percent blind spot so they won't run before the encounter and then in battle I guess you just have to hope it waits around for a turn or two and just spamming physical attacks generally works because if if hits usually it would critical and these streaks start.

Getting a few coins or more that were 10k and being frugal it really would add up. I think later ones even gave 100k. Maybe I was just luckier with them.

Thats a carryover from P3P. In that version MC could only uses short swords and FeMC could only use spears. I think this was an attempt to balance the MC a little and have them fit a more defined role

It really throws me off that the button to attack shadows is square and not X like the original

The remixed music is hit or miss for me. Want to Be Close (school theme) is definitely better than the original in my opinion, but the dorm theme and town theme both feel inferior. I like the new night time town theme
I think the school theme is just as good. The dorm starts that way, but the vocals aren't distorted enough for for me.

If they waited, FF Rebirth and Dragon's Dogma 2 will take away attention for a couple of months

Summer is rarely a good release time and the XIV expansion will distract a lot of the RPG crowd

Then you hit the fall and the rest of the big stuff hits, such as their own other big RPG in Metaphor, potentially a new Switch etc.

Basically they had to lol

How do you guys feel about the new voice cast? The new Junpei is doing a pretty solid impression of the original but the rest throw me off. Yukari sounds completely different and Im so used to Tara Platts distinct voice as Mitsuru that it just sounds wrong. Akihiko is alright

I think the only worse ones are Yukari and Akihiko. The old Yukari had such a great and unique voice. The new Akihiko is a miscast. His voice his too deep and he doesn't have that dorky energy the original Akihiko did. Junpei and Mitsuru are rather good at being almost the same as the old voice (although Mitsuru is sometimes a bit off). The new actor for Junpei does a better Junpei voice than Vic did in the dancing game. Fuuka is clear improvement over the original voice. I like the old voice of Shinji better, but the new voice is good. I'm kind of glad the new voice is totally different and not trying to copy the old one. I'd rather have a new voice then someone poorly imitating the old voices (see Yukari and Akihiko).
