I’m certainly not the biggest fan of JRPGs but this here is a very stylish game. And if i understand it correctly i just completed the tutorial aka April

My only problem with P5R is finding enough time to play it. I finished Futaba’s palace a week ago, but haven’t had enough time to play since then to wrap up the hacker story line.
I played P5 on PS4 shortly after launch, but am really enjoying a second play through - and I cannot wait to get to the third semester.

Imo the tutorial lasts up until the end of the 2nd dungeon. Less guided but after that the game just opens up a lot og new areas and places to go

13 Sentinels is having a 3rd anniversary stream sometime this month. On last year’s anniversary stream they announced the Switch version. I think the game will be announced for PC here… I don’t know about Xbox. It’s Vanillaware developed, and I don’t know if MS has even “established contact” with them as of yet
Now as for the rest of the list
Persona 5 Strikers
(Koei Tecmo game so I assume it’s “their job” to port it if MS goes looking for this game.)
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
(Arcsys game, so same as above. If this happens, I guess it will be after BlazBlue and GG Strive get ported.)
SMTIII HD
(This was actually kind of a flop. I don’t know if it’ll happen)
SMTV
(If it leaves Switch it seems likely)

Ooooh! I didn’t even know about that!
Did Vanillware handle the Switch port or was that a team over at SEGA/ATLUS?
Either way, pumped to see what they announce. I’d double dip for an Xbox version!
Vanillaware did the Switch port themselves and added some extra content for the battle mode too (which they later patched into the PS version).
There was some surprise over it because people thought Vanillaware wasn’t a big fan of Nintendo anymore after Muramasa Wii underperformed and the company stepped away from Nintendo until 13 Sentinels Switch.
They’ve already released another Switch (and PS) game since then too, GrimGrimoire OnceMore, though that’s a NIS published game, not Atlus

Would be great to see SMTV become multiplat/xbox
Not too interested in the other spin offs/fighters though
Strikers is a must as a vanilla P5 sequel. Definitely the best spinoff in the series and a great game on its own. Currently on everything but Xbox so seems an open goal.
Outside that, I’m not so fussed. Big thing to nail is P6 day one, everything else is whatever.

Unsure if posted in here, but I found a neat little trick to avoid getting disconnected for network with quick resume. The trick I found out if you leave the game on save screen it won’t disconnect you from network.

What I want:
P5S, SMT III HD and V, 13 Sentinels
What I expect:
SMT III HD at best
I would give up what I want for P6 day one though.
If I remember correctly, there was some concern when it was announced for Switch that some scenes would be too much for it. I heard they did a good job with that, though, maybe because it was an in-house port and not outsourced?
That is one thing to keep in mind with ports: they might be done by other studios and not run perfectly.

It runs slightly better on Switch than on PS4 believe it or not. Not sure if they updated the PS4 version with these optimizations though.

Smtv seems like a better bet
And if they could get an exclusive(silly to use since its on switch) would be good. Like octo…never came to ps4. So next gen console exclusive that runs it at 60fps and a decent resolution sort of thing. For octo it didnt matter. For smtv it certainly will
I guess I’m hooked… I finished the second castle and going into the next one with the TV stuff and introduction of Akechi
At some point, the game is making itself hard to stop. It’s just “one more day”…over and over… until you force yourself to save your progress in some random place.
Story is just so effective and yet not crazy over complicated like many other JRPG.

It’s so good when they add this version into your game at some point.

There’s no real penalty for being unfaithful to the girls is there? I want to stay true to Takemi, but Hifumi is making it difficult! 
There is no real penalty, but there are specific occasions where you can pick one person to spend time with so you do sorta have to choose eventually.
Let this be a preparation for you for 3. You can fuck up so bad in that one that your social links reverse, and it only gets worse the more girls you juggle apparently.
For P5, there is a special scene you get if you two-time all the girls I think, I never had the heart myself.
If I remember correctly in P3 FES there weren’t really romantic and platonic tracks for some of the social links, they just automatically became a romance when leveled high enough. So you couldn’t stay true to one girl while also maxing your stats even if you wanted to, because the game just didn’t offer a mechanic to do that.
