    I reserve the right to be annoyed that demon negotiation is often completely random

    In SMT that randomness can easily get you killed

    It's not fun to me to throw in a few dice rolls that mean you get to spend time reloading a save if the rolls don't go your way just for "flavor"

    In Nocturne hard mode I'm pretty sure you could lose the tutorial fight by the enemy getting some crits off. Criticals in general can be life or death there and then there's hama and mudo, the SMT games have always had a strong emphasis on risk management and being forced to roll the dice if things go bad over repetitious perfect strategy

    I forgot exactly how as the article was from forever ago but the negotiation in P5 is a bit more forgiving than it is in normal SMT games.

    persona in general is a much more..."casual"? i guess i would say experience than smt

    i can't imagine demon negotiation being some huge flow-breaking thing

    The best demon negotiations were the "Please spare my life!" join or die negotiation and the "I'm sorry for being a dick" when re-encountering a previous asshole demon.

    I wouldn't say Persona is casual, but SMT is definitely a series that seeks to punish its players more (as a guy who's played only one of each)

    I liked the negotiation in SMT4, though. Once you got the rhythm down you could get through 90% of negotiations successfully, and woe betide the ones who tried to stiff you.

    I've never dealt with these demon negotiations before

    Hopefully they are cool

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    The ones in Persona 5 seem more like shakedowns than they do the ones in SMT4

    In SMT4 you tried to convince demons to join you by bribing them, flattering them, threatening them, or stonewalling them (among other things)

    P5 sounds almost like you're mugging them

    The P5 version seems more like a thematic wrapper for what used to be shuffle time than what is present in SMT.

    DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!

    Persona 5 massive spoilers and true endings/etc. images are already out in the internet wilds.

    Unless they've datamined somehow I probably won't even believe they're the real deal at this point

    Right but did they get the true ending or just AN ending

    so the P5 soundtrack is out there now

    ...

    I...

    I don't think I like the battle theme

  • I needed anime to post.I needed anime to post. boom Registered User regular
    it begins

    shut up dammit, if I hold on life will change

    Better spoil yourself on the final boss theme just to make sure you like it.

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    I didn't like the final boss theme in P4

    Final boss opinion spoilers for Persona 4
    If they had used the regular battle theme, transitioning right into the chorus, it would have been something like ten times more exciting

    I'm pretty sure it's not on the soundtr-

    oh

    oh you're being flip

  • ThetherooThetheroo Registered User regular
    Really dig the battle theme

    Got some real nice bass guitar in it

  • YaYaYaYa Decent. Registered User regular
    I like Life Will Change way more as a battle theme but that might be the boss theme

    I also wonder if they're gonna do the P4G thing of split battle themes if you get an Advantage on attack

  • Moth 13Moth 13 Registered User regular
    The most important thing leaked (nothing that wasn't in the pre-release stuff, but double layering it just in case)

    People were also playing review copies even before the broken street date copies went out.

    Sometimes review copies end up in the hands of assholes.

    This is nothing new.

    name your own Phantom Thief team, you say?

    All of Tokyo shall fear- THE ASSBUTTS!

    I saw this and immediately thought, "Oh, The Gullwings, obviously."

    Well, everything I could find with a cursory search was all YouTube fakes of the battle theme

    maybe you folks could just link to the actual stuff cause I'd rather not look for it and probably get spoiled

    How great would it have been if
    when you got the boss down to, like, half health it transitioned to that trumpet version of Reach Out to the Truth for the rest of the battle

    If for any reason someone wants to see, it seems people have started streaming it on twitch.

  • Mr. GMr. G Registered User regular
    Alright, I've taken a cursory glance at the soundtrack, since I think that's the least spoilery spoiler thing in history

    It's rad

    Later trailers had me worry they were gonna go for that extra downtuned guitar thing, but the music is all very much in the style of the opening song

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVW63kF15vM

    It's all got that heavy funk influence, like some of these tracks I would actually love to hear mashed up with James Brown

    It's got its own flavor while still feeling very much in line with the past two games

    Looks like they're keeping the bad angel and Lucifer designs but I think I saw new Kaneko demons in there which is exciting

    I'm a fan of P5's battle theme, it's real cocky compared to the jobial upbeat tune P4 had.

    But ROtTT is still the best.
