/pg/ - Persona General

>Everyone assumed Futabu would be the meme character
>Atlus USA flipped it on its head and made Ryuji the meme character
Poor Ryuji is destined to be unlikable in every language.

Yeah, it's in EP

Persona 5 drinking game: take a shot every time you see an apostrophe in Ryuji's text.

Man, imagine if the rest of the internet didn't go on media blackouts and was as eager to talk spoilers as Veeky Forums, we might have convinced more people to complain about this shit and get it changed. But as it stands, not only are we severely outnumbered, I don't think anybody listens to the opinions that emerge on this god forsaken site anymore because we're all notoriously cynical.

Honestly think that the backlash on P5 is going to be pretty harsh. P3 and P4 released in a pre-Nier world. Now with P5 releasing hot on the heels of Automata, people will directly compare the two and it's obvious how superior Automata is in story, characters, and music. Really not a good look for us, we're risking looking really dated and out of place like Halo, Gears of War, Mass Effect, etc. are now.

can I not

remind me again why they even changed it to confidants

tough luck shobo

>he thinks anger issues are just about femdom and can't be cute

instead we get boring school-focused makoto who was engineered in a lab to be the perfect Japanese wife. you're in the wrong dude, just admit it.

it sounds French and different
alcohol poisoning 20 minutes into the game!

Is it fair to consider P5 JP and P5 ENG to be entirely separate games at this point? Like how lots of games had butchered translations and even gameplay removed in the 90s but we acknowledge the original Japanese versions as what it's meant to be.

good

what's the source of this?

Also is there anything that provides any in depth looks at what is different between P4 and P5? I want to know if safety literally means infinite retries in battle, as I'll probably start off on that for the story.

I saw on a fusion video of P5 that when creating a persona I saw a number pop up and what sounds like the sound effect that plays when you make a purchase. Does this game actually let you skip summoning all the individual personas you have in your compendeium needed for that fusion and just buy them all at once and let you fuse that persona then and there as long as you have one slot free? That would be great if it does/

...

Goro is the traitor and dies
Igor is fake and the final boss

Don't pick safety, you can't change the difficulty if you do that and it's not fun at all.

I hate to admit it, but the memes give me something to laugh about as someone who already knows the whole story. everything else is just boring dialogue explaining stuff we already know about what's currently happening in the story

>People who played the Jap version will be arguing with EOPs for the next few years because of Atlus USA dropping the ball

Yes. Reiji mentions this at the end in EP when he's with his friends. If it's a boy, he will be named Takashi. P1's ending mentions that Reiji eventually gets a son, so Takashi is the canon name.

>anytime you're losing an argument you can just accuse them of being an eop
future's looking bright

I refuse. I am going to name him Takashi Kido.

you can still die on safety but it is easier. also get way more money and exp from battles which makes the game more fun due to less grinding.

but can I change the difficulty on a new game+?

Is this from the official english version? did I miss a video that came out?

wassup d-bag

start on easy, you're locked into safety for that save if you pick it and it's total overkill (0.5x damage taken, 2x damage dealt, 3x exp gained, 5x money gained, vs easy being default rates except for half damage taken)

Settle down d-bag

get bent d-bag

Is this another lack of translation like M-Moto?

JUST EFFIN KILL ME!

Phantom is from Sumaru City!

Sounds cool

jesus fucking christ they overdid the colloquial talk

Its short for douchebag

>Seiji
I can't take that name seriously anymore ever since reading that Whistle doujin where Seiji gets raped and put in a porno then gets fucked by his older brother.

What's going on here?

Trying to figure out what to name the P5 protag or something?

The fuck is deets?

>Goro was the meme characters in the east
>Ryuji is the meme characters in the east
What a sick twist of events

You're right it should be
>"You're a member on the newspaper staff, correct? Give us the information on the volleyball team."

details
I had to look it up too

did someone get an early copy of the game or is there a new video I'm missing?

>will need ubrandicontary open to play Persona 5 in the west
Thanks Atlus USA.

Street date broke in a few places

are you not americans? or is it an east coast west coast thing? 'cause i mean deets sounds dumb but everyone here would know what it means

how many "bae"s can we expect in Persona 5?

non-americans correct?

Who the hell says deets anymore?

or they could not write like retards and not turn ryuji into someone that sounds like a nigga when he doesn't

you can change the difficulty any time you want, except if you pick safety. so you can start on normal and pick hard after the first dungeon for example

Yeah, Australian and I never heard the word used before. I automatically assumed a food but it didn't make sense in the sentence.

what said

Street date? On the upside early english, downside, I'm really hoping those store owners don't get in trouble

Can you answer the compendium question in

If Ryuji as some point says the word "hella"...

AYO HOL UP JOKAH

Shut up Kyle.

that's not niggerspeak. niggerspeak is addressing everybody as bruh and using complete made up words like finna and not using prepositions

huh, makes sense
well its atlus usa not atlus anglosphere so some regional differences are to be expected, but deets is dumb regardless

...

>tfw esp
>gotta use urban dictionary for ryuji

*smacks lips* YOU SAYIN'...

>Not m'kay
Not even consistent.

>dumb cunts here are STILL paying for this game and not pirating it
i genuinely hate you shills that cause this to happen over and over again

but my fat ps3 died and my slim ps3 can't be hacked

mkay isn't even a teenagery thing to say

>Madoka Suzuki
CUTE!

Neat. I remember him announcing the kid at the end but not if they had a name.

Typing it as 'k' or even 'kay' would have made more sense.

*checks Anne's boobs* THAT WE WUZ SUM...

He just says Okay in the Japanese, don't litter this localization with shitty liberal translations nigger

yeah, aite or something like that

or really nothing at all, the sentence doesn't need an interjection there to keep the same tone

>pirating it for shits and giggles instead of supporting atlus

I bet you like CoD and other generic shooters where the voice chats are nothing but loud and obnoxious

>user posting screenshots is still months away from getting Futaba or seeing the airport cutscene
fuck

why would i support the whores that butchered this game? why should you? /pg/'s love of the ryuji cuck meme is ironic considering you love getting fucked in the ass by atlus

>don't make sense
>why ain't anyone
please can we fucking not make him speak like this

it's on twitch m8

Yup name and all. The kanji is a combination of Kandori's first kanji 鷹 and Reiji's second kanji 司

Jesus Christ, literally every line is cringeworthy.

Getting dual audio was the make or break point for me.
Ill suffer through the shit translations with that.

I know Im part of the problem, but paying the money is worth it to me instead of importing a copy I only half understand.

Ryuji is going to be unbearable

am I missing something?

Is the p5 protag the kid of characters in Persona 2 or something?

The other user's point was that if you want to replicate how teenage boys text each other, "mkay" is not nearly as authentic as just "k"

holy fuck we go through this every single time
enjoy your dual audio while the script is absolute shit. the plot and characters are the worse since revelations because of the changes but hey at least you get to hear nice-sounding voices in a language you don't understand. you stupid fucking cunt

LITERALLY EVERYONE IS MISPRONOUNCING NAMES THE SAME WAY
IT'S THE VOICE DIRECTOR'S FAULT GOD DAMN IT

P5 is a direct sequel to P2
continues the dropped storyline and all

>in a language you don't understand
Half understand.
One day I'll learn it in earnest and put my money where my mouth is.
I understand enough to sidestep the more urban dictionary ass thats going to be in there.

>the plot and characters are the worse since revelations because of the changes
god damn you're such a drama queen, we haven't even seen enough footage, specially of the more important character scenes.

And this is why we can't EVER have anything nice someone's gotta complain about it and make it an abomination

>the plot and characters are the worse since revelations because of the changes
What changes? you faggots we're crying because the translations were too literal and now for some reason the characters and plot is ruined? Are you retarded?
>Since Generations
Oh yeah you are retarded, stay mad dumb cunt

Oh boy, my turn. Let's try this again. Guess the gender of the voice director. Put two and two together.

there is nothing wrong with the translation but it's still a funny line

try and fucking stop me, nerd

Sort of, but not really.

It's just meming/wishful thinking.
Reiji's son is the same age as Joker.
Joker has the same resting pose/posture as Reiji.
Joker uses eiha for his initial, Reiji has eiha as his initial.
Reiji sold knives, Joker uses knives.
Sometimes Joker has Kandori-looking moments as well.

It's just silly speculation. Nothing will come out from it.
