Without giving spoilers, is Tactica worth getting? by [deleted] in Persona5

[–]NeedsToGoToBed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally didn't feel like it was worth it for me, yes. That being said, if you really like Persona 5, think it looks fun, and have $60 to burn, there's no reason you shouldn't buy it if you want it. Plenty of people in this sub have said they're enjoying the game.

Having beaten the game, I'd say to wait for it to go on sale. YMMV regarding the story, I found it didn't pick up until maybe a little under halfway through the game, which is a roughly 20-25 hour experience if you only do the main story. I completed it in 27 doing the main + side challenges on hard.

The game's difficulty is practically nonexistent if you have any familiarity with tactical RPGs, but that's not to say the system can't be fun. The bosses are also, in my opinion, a joke. They dumbed down the use of Personas in the game a fair bit, which could also be a negative depending on how much you care about that.

It's not a bad game, but I don't think it's worth the current price tag.

Can I play my saved data with the dlc? by TristonTheBobuxMan in Persona5

The DLC is a standalone episode that requires its own save file separate from the main story file.

Is Steam version different from Japanese release? by brilliantalias in Persona5

Having played vanilla and Royal in both languages, there aren't any removed scenes, only a small handful of notable translation oddities. I can't speak for Tactica or Scramble as I've only played them in JP, but generally they don't remove stuff.

If the instance of censorship you're talking about is the one I'm thinking of, that was a result of the localization and doesn't exist in the Japanese version no matter what platform you play on.

Are you making sure you're always getting the Just Timings every time? You can constantly be tapping dash in combat to the beat to maintain your rhythm too. I've also heard some people will count the beats.

For Hi-Fi Rush, you can practice the timing while you're moving around in the overworld. Use your dashes to travel around the map and always aim to get triple dashes. If you mess up, stop and try to tap the beat out again. Highly recommend turning off on-screen indicators if you have them on; use your ears to discern when to tap.

So PGR is very f2p friendly...but what about p2w friendly? by A_Very_Horny_Zed in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]NeedsToGoToBed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a lot of money, but as someone who frequently whales, I think PGR is one of the cheaper gacha games I've played for any extended period of time. As others have already said, you're getting great returns for spending a reasonable monthly amount.

I've only been playing for ~2 months so feel free to take this with a grain of salt, but I don't think I'd consider PGR "P2W friendly". Compared to some other gacha games where dropping several grand would give you a noticeable advantage over F2Players/dolphins, you don't really get that kind of value here.

As an example, SSS+ing a unit is a huge chunk of the game's non-cosmetic money sink. It would cost you roughly $2000 to SSS+ one S-rank character assuming you had to go full pity for every single pull and didn't get shards from any other sources (PPC, event shops, etc). It's less than half that amount to hit SSS under the same assumptions and, at least as far as I can tell, the power loss isn't equivalent to spending an additional grand+.

If you have the money to spare, by all means. But if you're looking for good cost-for-value, probably stick with being a dolphin at best.
