Persona 5's UI features the most information, despite leaving the largest amount of free space. Unlike P3/4, It displays the Enemy Name, Level, and Health bar, right on the idle screen. It also allows you to select your enemy while on this idle screen, since unlike P3 you are not using the left and right d-pad buttons to navigate the menu. It removes the Skill option from the menu, in favor of merging it with the Persona option. It maps each option to a button, rather than having it displayed as a list. Meaning no matter which option you pick, or whatever option you picked in the previous turn, you will only need to press one button, rather than select it from a list. It removes the space at the bottom of the screen that gives a brief description of what the highlighted menu option does, and displays it in clear white on black text below the option. The character portraits are now positioned along the bottom and don't obscure a large portion of the screen, however the numbers remain legible, I'd say moreso than they look in P4's menu. In addition to these improvements to the way the menu works, it also fits consistently with the rest of the game's rough edged comic-book style of artwork, and cleverly incorperates the prison motif into the character portraits, and the heart into the health bar.

P5's UI is fucking great, in both appearance and functionality, which is more than can be said for P4's in both aspects.
Anthony Hughes
GUIs were a mistake
Owen Johnson
I'm going to make very detailed graphs about screen percentage taken and other valuable things about UIs.

That's a really bad term to use when it feels like a huge chunk of this general seems to have bilingual posters, just languages other than Japanese.
Bentley James
Yes, only.
Robert Long
Anne LOVES colored men. The most.
Jordan Cox
I just call people EOPs when they only buy their games in english and don't import
Chase Phillips
Well it's rude and, more importantly, technically incorrect.
Cameron Murphy
a couple raping spaniards don't count
Alexander Campbell
Is Kamoshida Spanish?
Aaron Flores
You are correct, and I'm pretty sure it's only that one retard saying the UI is bad. It's thanks to P5's UI design that the player has instant access to more battle commands than ever and far less time will be spent navigating menus, making battles way less of a slog.
Dylan Williams
not if you interpret it the way I just said, which is more than enough justification for a shitposter
Anthony Scott
The navigation is undoubtedly superior. However,
The extra information it displayed over the previous games, however, was nothing but fluff. It's pointless padding and the Japs are known for having a fetish of sticking text underneath headers to make them look more tacticool. The texts themselves are blatantly obvious translations of what the commands do and I'm sure the nips are laughing their asses off at this on their boards right now.
It is counterintuitive for a command ring because it is now WORDS WORDS WORDS instead of concise information of what each button does; command rings are not essays. Especially not those in a turn-based RPG battle.
The numbers is legible for inactive members, but for some reason they decided to stick "HP" and "SP" next to an active character's numbers as if everybody didn't already know what the numbers do. This is pointless clutter and make the status display's small area busier than it should. And the status display is actually abnormally small for something that has to show the information of four party members. Digital Devil Saga is how you do a horizontal, bottom-aligned party status display correctly.
Though I'm also not sure if the decision to move it to bottom resulted in anything meaningful because now the right side of the screen looks barren in ALL of the screenshots.

Why are you samefagging ?
Nathaniel Turner
I love Aigis and she is the cutest.
Evan Wright
I love a different character and think that character is cuter.
William Peterson
And that is fine.

You're delusional if you don't think there's girls here. They love this dating sim shit.

Agreement doesn't mean samefag, dear.

it's like this >english speaker, buys english games EOP >more than english speaker, buys english games EOP >english speaker, buys non-english games Mostly EOP >more than just english speaker, buys non-english games not EOP
Grayson Reed
>english speaker, buys non-english games >Mostly EOP What?
Sebastian Wilson
What if those header labels just go away for the English version?
Brandon Bell
because you're going to look for some way to put the game in English, and for what parts you can't you're not using any language to play.
Jayden Roberts
these days you can put pretty much any part of a game into english even straight from your TV, regardless of how much sense it makes Then again there's certain fonts google translate won't pick up so that basically makes sense
Brandon Bailey
That would make the most sense, but it's gonna be japanese headers with english subtitles
Joseph Foster
they'll change them to french for the english release
Benjamin Cook
>tfw Goro isn't playable and it was all just a ruse

but that way it's like you're really japanese, user-koon!

so then it's the bottom 2 that call other people EOPs then
Ian Wilson

If anything, he'd fuck Hifumi since they go to the same school.
Christian Nguyen
It's cool Isis shows up in the Egypt dungeon, I'd like themed enemies like that wherever possible.
Luis Price
>It maps each option to a button, rather than having it displayed as a list. Meaning no matter which option you pick, or whatever option you picked in the previous turn, you will only need to press one button, rather than select it from a list. >people actually think this is an improvement
Jose Kelly
>smug greentexting instead of actually arguing why it's bad
Owen Howard
How it's not? Once you memorize the options five minutes after your first few battles you only need to press one button without thinking twice. I will speed up hunting for drops, personas or just grinding.
Anthony Phillips
Have you never seen the UI for a Japanese game before? They love having English in the UI for style points. It really doesn't bother me personally but the Japanese text will be totally unnecessary for the English release so it will most likely be removed anyway.
As for your complaint about the status displays for each party members, I'm an artfag and I'd love to just shit all over you for not understanding how good the design is over all, but instead I'll just point out that for active party members, adding the actual HP/SP labels doesn't hurt the design whatsoever. Whether a party member is active or inactive, the numbers are the same size, and visibility is enhanced by using a contrasting teal and pink on a black, semi-transparent background. What changes when a party member becomes active is that a white / appears to help separate and distinguish the numbers more and the background has now changed from merely functional to something that resembles a mugshot letter board. This helps you to easily distinguish who's the active party member and the HP/SP labels aren't doing anything offensive, they're just filling up space that would otherwise be empty. No, I don't think there's anyone who would be confused without the labels, but I think the labels do a better job to balance the design compared to stretching the numbers, which might in fact them less legible if they had any more height to them.
FYI, the point of moving the status displays along the bottom is so that they won't be covered up during negotiations.
Cameron Diaz
does anyone realize that the persona summon sound effect joker got in daybreakers is exactly that used in persona 2?
Carson Wilson
>the more menus the better, user says, smugly reassuring himself
Easton Baker
More importantly That was a water skill WATER
Caleb Thompson
I wonder who that mysterious man off in the distance is?
Jacob Kelly
I can't tell if that's a beak or just a part of that gray thing behind him
Jaxson Gutierrez
it wasn't tho? it was one of the dark skills, you can tell cause they show the boss stabbed by dark blades right after. the glow was just blue for some reason
William Ortiz
considering the horrendous quality of this image,I couldn't tell you
Bentley Roberts
I believe he's talking about Mitras' attack as Joker was summoning Arsene, I think it was just a nuclear attack rather than water though.
James Miller

Lucas Ross
SAY GORO IS A PARTY MEMBER AGAIN AND I'LL HAVE HASHINO COME TO YOUR HOUSE WITH A KNIFE, YOU FILTHY SPOILER-LOVING GAIJINS
Dylan Miller
This isn't an argument, and if you're incapable of memorizing inputs after repeatedly doing them you might have brain damage. Fuck off.
Landon Young
>Its not an argument because I say so
You sure told me
Zachary Cook
Maybe it's more obvious on a bigger screen
I thought that maybe the characters in the back get closer to the screen as you go through options but that might not be the case.
Juan Sanders
So where's your argument?
Grayson Lewis
If you're incapable of memorizing one button inputs you're incapable of playing virtually any video game and have less mental capacity than a 3 year old. This stutterposting is just sad, the bait is so dull I think you're actually mad about this
Asher Green
The other character's masks are white too so it definitely makes sense.
Jack Robinson
GORO EITHER DIES OR IS THE TRAITOR
Julian Richardson
now, I know the people that post in here about this know what they're doing, but there have to be a shitload of people that do this and just skip through all the text and don't worry about it till an english release. I wouldn't hesitate to call that kind of person an EOP
>everyone is wearing their normal clothes >except for the guy in the back who's just in a black cloak
Camden Price
8 people, no Morgana, unless Morgana look human

Chase Thomas
>one week release from Japanese release
My heart is filled with emptiness for lack of release date announcement of Korean version, which the only language I can understand besides English and will be undubbed, making it far superior than American release.
