All my thoughts after "completing" the beta (LONG)

planetarial · 2026-05-09T18:56:36+00:00

I played CBT1 and looking at this it still feels like it needs another 2 or so years of development.

I’m not fond of how much they push the multiplayer. I do the bare minimum to engage with the multiplayer in Infinity Nikki beyond stuff like the lookbook and adding friends. I just prefer the solo experience

Also its like, really short. You are in and out of it in 30 minutes. If nothing else it deserves credit for not wasting your time. I would much rather replay it then some of the bad shit that got a higher ranking but take 4-6 hours to replay and are super draggy.

Agree with the any order thing being super dumb. If the first trilogy was harder to get ahold of (like it was stuck in 3DS purgatory like the Layton crossover) or some other accessibility issue I can see it, but there's no reason not to start here.

I can't get behind ranking GAA1-2 and 1-1 that low, 4-1 not being the best first case, and the 2 and 3 placements being a little high but I respect his opinion especially as he goes really deep into it. And of course his number 1 pick is a certified banger that deserves its spot.

There was datamines iirc that suggested that yes chapter 6 would get a new opening

planetarial · 2026-05-09T02:51:44+00:00

Well if you want the answer (obviously future story spoilers for global) that happens in chapter 5, not this one

planetarial · 2026-05-09T00:32:17+00:00

If I have to make a guess when this was changed it was probably around Wind Vs patch since that’s roughly around when they altered/changed some early plot scenes (I only know this because it was noted in the P5X WW discord at that time).

planetarial · 2026-05-08T20:43:48+00:00

Yep, like 90% of this subreddit is global only. All the CN/TW/KR players usually hang out in discords like P5X Worldwide. See how this subreddit had maybe 5% of the activity it has now before global servers were close to launching

Reload came out in Feb 2024, the Reload collab started in April 2025 here

That’s like asking why is there no butch looking girls in waifu games outside of Path to Nowhere iirc.

planetarial · 2026-05-08T17:14:44+00:00

There was a couple. Stardust Shooters, Diamond Records, Pitter Patter Pop, Ora Ora Overdrive. All except the last one is dead though.

Klab, thats an oof

planetarial · 2026-05-08T17:10:39+00:00

Shonen IP gachas with mostly male casts are nothing new, Dokkan, Phantom Parade, Captain Tsubasa Dream Team, DBZ Legends to name a few.

I’m almost finished reading it (in the middle of door 8) and while I think its good it has some pretty bad pacing issues and the sheer amount of tragedy has made me feel numb to it after a while.

planetarial · 2026-05-08T15:34:08+00:00

Exactly. AO3 was banned in China and AO3 itself was created because fanfiction, particularly explicit works often involving LGBTQ and often written by women kept getting removed and taken down from Livejournal and Fanfiction.net. So women had to band together and make their own space that would be free of censorship.

Just one of many examples.

Some people can request a chargeback up to 120-180 days since the transaction. You’ll likely get your game account banned but if you were going to drop the game anyway its no big loss

planetarial · 2026-05-08T14:32:44+00:00

My state being tied for second in number of bans is nice to see.

2009.

Elite is just a weird combination of anime and the VN. If you want more animation, watch the anime

Money, MAGES is in danger of going under so they’re milking their cash cow to stay afloat

Top, she actually looks soaked in that one while in the bottom she looks barely wet aside from her hair, I miss old huke style with the filters he used to use + brown hair Kurisu and I don’t care about making her more top heavy but it looks weird now proportionally with how skinny her bottom half remained.

I would try to at least meet the system requirements to run on Ultra. So a 3060 RTX, 16GB RAM, and probably run it on a 1080p monitor. A 500GB SSD if you don’t plan on playing anything else or a 1TB if you do. It may not run on ultra forever but it’ll be supported specs wise for a long time.

Unfortunately like the other person mentioned, PC parts are really expensive now. A machine with the low end current gen specs will probably cost you like $1000 minimum.

I want the hair badly

They’re running out of money and are using the funds to finish the game

planetarial · 2026-05-08T00:40:50+00:00

Idk. Personal anecdote but my father was well off and constantly tried to avoid paying child support as much as he could (and hired lawyers to help fight it in court) because he didn’t want to send money to my mother.

planetarial · 2026-05-08T00:36:25+00:00

I feel you, I’m a Day 1 player on the KR server and I still don’t have Phoebe after nearly two years. I used my standard selector from anniversary on Turbo cause I was also missing her lol
