Afaik you can’t suspend your game on the cloud so that’s probably gonna be a dealbreaker for some. I know it is for me.This game is really good with Gamepass.
It actually plays really well in Xcloud and on my Xbox series S. Gives me real big Switch vibes without having to drop $60 on the game.
I’m very glad the Series S port and cloud functionality is done well. On the whole, it sounds like every single port of this game is well done. I’ve never really seen that before for a game with this many versions lol.This game is really good with Gamepass.

Before Joker was announced for Smash, I just felt it in my soul that LWC would open his potential trailer. Even without playing P5.I think Life Will Change might be the single best work of music video games as a medium have produced, lol
Wow, I was expecting the resolution downgrade and I can understand it, but how did they fuck up so much the gamma color? Really, it's all over the place and in general the game is way darker than it should, even if you put the brightness at the max setting in the menu settings the gamma is all over the place and the image is way too contrasted, which implies a lose of detail in many areasa. Really disappointed by that since it's a matter of callibration.
I booted it up on my PS4 Pro and it definitely has a much better and more natural look compared to Switch. Not sure what happened.I took some pictures to show how bad the calibration of gamma values are and how the excessive amount of contrast make some areas lose all the detail and just be big chunks of blackness.
Coming form vanilla PS4, the first palace is messed up all over the place with this problem. How I didn't see any review mention this is whatever...
Second one almost look like you fell out of the map and were out of bounds...

I just compared the XSX/PC version with the PS4 Pro original version. The gamma is messed up on XSX also. It definitely looks worse than the original Royal version. I'll link pictures.It does, I played originally on PS4 too. Problem is, it has nothing to do with performance or technical capabilities, gamma color is poorly calibrated and I don't know why. I don't understand how they messed it so badly and how nobody brought this into attention in the reviews. Also, I don't expect they fix it for that same reason.
Didn't even realize that. I deleted it haha!Some of the PS screenshot info might be spoilery to others. Just saying.

Also, this may be in my head, but I swear the Anti Aliasing has been downgraded with the new ports also. Even in 4k on XSX, I'm getting a lot of aliasing that I don't see on the PS4 Pro original version...
It's almost like they switched the limited with the full RGB colour range or vice versa (16-255 instead of 0-255 in terms of colours).
Wait till the training wheels come off! it's dangerous in how addictive it isFirst few hours. This is really really beautiful and everything about it seems well made. It really feels immediately like a game that you could sink hours after hours after hours.
Timing the crescendo of Last Surprise with an All Out Attack never gets old, even after 300+ hours in this gameThe negotiation themes is sooooooo good. My god, this game just OOZES style!
Why did you take 5 years to port this Atlus!?
I'm really enjoying this game so far.

This has been really bothering me during my playthrough so far, especially in the first dungeon. Hopefully it's patched since, as you mentioned, increasing the brightness isn't the solution. I have a feeling the OLED display might actually be making the issue worse.
I'm starting to think this is a problem on your end, I've played through the entire 1st palace and didn't notice any of these issues. I was playing handheld on the OLED and the colours literally do pop. Are you playing docked? If so you might want to look at the RGB range setting in TV output in the Switch menu and see if changing that helps you.First palace so far is clearly the worst offender. Some areas are just unplayable since it's just impossible to see anything in front of you.
However, being precisely the first palace... how did reviewers didn't talk about this issue? It's clear that something is just very wrong with the contrast values. So much for the standard "colors pop!!" line that means nothing and somehow nobody points that you can't see a thing in many of the rooms you enter in the first two hours of the game.
Well, given that I can see the crushed blacks in linkwashere's screenshots across a range of devices (laptop, phone, PC monitor) with different panels/displays, the issue has to be in-game/game settings related and can't be limited to one specific device.I'm starting to think this is a problem on your end, I've played through the entire 1st palace and didn't notice any of these issues.

Now to get away from the tech talk which has sadly been most of this thread, this is the first time I've played Persona 5 after waiting for a Switch port since release and I'm loving it! I'm in the 2nd palace now, so the gameplay loop has kicked in, I thought I'd get a bit stressed out about planning my time but it seems like you have plenty of time to round out your character and spend time in social links - I'm guessing this may get harder when you have more social links but everyone having a schedule really helps.
After playing TMS, SMTV and now this on the Switch it's clear to me that Atlus are the best at turn based combat, the one more/baton pass system of this game is really good and I like the all out attacks which can make basic battles really snappy if you target weaknesses. The story is engaging so far, we'll see how it turns out for the next 90 hours or so but I've got high hopes.
I don’t think it’ll be happen but I’ll be greatly amused if this outsells the PS4 releaseP5R has hit #2 on the eShop
There were only a small handful of confidants I wasn’t able to complete on my PS4 playthrough, mostly at my own fault because I wasn’t raising stats efficiently.for those who have played royal before, how generous is the time here? is it possible to do most social links and max our your social stats within the given time period, or is that a thing you need to with a guide like the previous games?
It's extremely easy to get all social links on a single playthrough without needing any guide.for those who have played royal before, how generous is the time here? is it possible to do most social links and max our your social stats within the given time period, or is that a thing you need to with a guide like the previous games?
IIRC if you complete the palace ahead of the deadline you basically have free time until the next scenario beat.Question.
When you have a certain amount to do a palace, and you clear the palace early. Do you still get that time at the end? Just wondering if I should procrastinate the palace to do as much as I can.
All except for the very last (vanilla) one iircQuestion.

The story will always move forward only after the deadline has passed.Question.

Not being able to turn off the DLC might be my only issue with the ports.Almost done with the first dungeon, this game rules
I have only two complaints. One is the leery way it treats women, especially Ann. It's gross.
The other one is that since this game includes all DLC, I have an abundance of stuff I imagine you wouldn't normally have this early (medicine, SP healing) which means I'm not really learning to pace myself in the dungeons properly. I'm aware you would usually try to get as much done in one session as possible, but leave if you're getting low on SP and come back another day. I haven't been doing that and I think it's going to be a rude shock for me when I'm out of the DLC goodies and I'm forced to lol. Also, it gives you access to some ridiculous overleveled Personas but I'm just ignoring them (I used one once and it made the battles unfun)
Yes.Likely a very dumb question, but once I save, I can safely exit the game, right, and it will pick up exactly where I saved? So if I saved in the school hallway, the next time I load the game, boom, I'm there?
This game is really good with Gamepass.
It actually plays really well in Xcloud and on my Xbox series S. Gives me real big Switch vibes without having to drop $60 on the game.
Fucking hell that’s a slick trailer
I never found Morgana to be too bad, I actually rather like him overall. He has his moments of being annoying, but nothing major IMO. Nothing remotely close to Teddie. He's probably the best JRPG mascot character that I can think of (at least of the ones that actually talk).Since I am playing with japanese va, this trailer made me realize that no matter the language Morgana is still annoying lol. Not Teddy levels but still. Given that SH2 and even SMT5 (kinda, way better) had mascots I hope P6 has a more level headed one.
Thinking about mascots, Miue (from Tales of Abyss) also can have annoying moments. I don't count Nopons as mascots lol rikki and riku are cool (tora is ok). We haven't heard a lot from Cait Sith in FF7 so jury still out. There aren't a lot of talking mascots.I never found Morgana to be too bad, I actually rather like him overall.

The amount of budget this game is getting for advertisment is insane especially for a port. Poor Soul Hackers 2 lol...
Pretty sure Soul Hackers 2 sold much less than Persona 5 Strikers sales on Switch alone. Strikers, not Royal.Well P5R on Switch alone will outsell all combined copies of SH2 so…
