@KaijuKaiser it could be a friendly tonberry who runs a colosseum or a brothel or something... Or he just shows up to kill someone, like in FFXIII. I just miss him. He hasn't called in ages. He reads my messages, but he doesn't reply. I think he's seeing someone else.
Like I said, it's a great game. But it feels like half a final fantasy game. It's quite stripped down, I assume in an effort to appeal to wider audience, and as a result it's greatly simplified. Side quests are simplified, on-screen quest markers make it that we don't need to think about where to go next, weapons are a case of "the new one is stronger than the previous one", elemental weaknesses are almost completely omitted, there are absolutely no logic puzzles, the bestiary is incomplete, we can only control and outfit a single character... Still a great game though.
What a bunch of entitled narcissists who think this girl doesn't have the right to her own voice. The internet has really been great for bully culture. I say down with online anonymity in public spaces. Force people to be responsible for what they post.
No, this is the part where I tell you that you don't need to be the target audience for everything. If you don't think this scene is funny, then don't romance the shapeshifter.

You're not supposed to be into sex with animals: this is comedy, not erotica.
And as a parent, you should he paying attention to age ratings. There's a reason mature games are rated mature.
I'm loving the game, but I would really appreciate the option to turn off the destination marker for the main quest. I'm not learning my way around because the GPS is always in my face.
It seems absolutely amazing to be able to walk through the Stauf mansion in 3D. I hope the soundtrack is similar, it contributed so much to the game's character.
The improvements on PS5 are pretty nice, but the newly introduced deadzone on the camera stick and the mandatory epilepsy filter are bugging me a little. I can't help but feel that the PS4 version is superior, despite the lower graphical quality.
I believe the players who enjoy grand, sweeping narrative odysseys like mainline Final Fantasy games are not really the same target audience as those who enjoy bite-size battle royale games.
It's going to take years of expensive therapy to get over the fact that they remastered P3P instead of P3FES. Who made this decision? Sad gamer noises.
I'm not sure this is the attack on Christianity that you think it is. This game is based on books by Jacek Piekara, a very conservative and religious author who glamourises the idea of an Angry God. His political tweets should give you enough of an idea where he stands.
I was also hoping it would have the same atmosphere as part 1. I think Atlus is underestimating how popular the cassette-futurism style would be right now. Strange Journey Redux would have benefitted from a more VHS-like aesthetic as well.
But I'm still very much looking forward to playing this.
I know that P3P has a number of QOL improvements, but for me, 90% of the magic of Persona 3 was in the somewhat Lynchian cutscenes. As much as I love throwing my money at Atlus, I think I'll have to stick to emulating P3FES for now.
Even though it's a bit on the short side, and it's missing couch co-op, this is the best Tales game to come out in a decade. I wouldn't mind at all if an expanded version is released one day.
@UltimateOtaku91 the bits of story we've seen in the trailers don't appear to be connected to the first game. I did see some familiar technology, but I think it's safe to assume that this is a stand-alone story.
@CieloAzure I find souls games much easier than the Ninja Gaiden series. I think they have a reputation for being harder than they are, because we players like bragging about our mad skillz. But if you take advantage of the online play in souls games, they become much easier.
I think the difficulty in the game is meant to encourage cooperative play. Souls games are crazy punishing when playing solo, but the difficulty drops dramatically when you have a couple of real humans helping you out.
Edit: difficult games are also a lesson in emotional control and frustration management. Every failure is an opportunity to learn.

I didn't realise we were talking about not liking the game.
I love the game, yet I also think it doesn't feel like a Final Fantasy.

Obviously people are going to have opinions. And the fans contribute by forking over gil.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 DLC Is Now an Option Being Considered by Square Enix
I think this has been the plan the whole time. As great as the game is, it feels unfinished.
This DLC better have some cactuars and tonberries...

"Cheering on" and "laughing at" are two very different things.
This is meant to be humorous, not erotic.
