I knew $599 was too optmistic. And that’s without the disc drive, sheesh. Time to go apply for that second job.

Wait for a sale lol, surely it’ll bomb apart from flashy streamers / whales buying it so should go on sale at some point

£699 is over $900

I would bet that Sony has realistic expectations and understands that at this price they are only selling to hyper-enthusiasts. Not expecting any sale or price drop. Judging by past history, an eventual price increase is maybe more likely if anything.

Bat shit insane, they are.

700 huh? Expected I guess, I was never thinking it would be 600.

Just started Visions of Mana and my first thought, “Burn the tree!”

MS mid gen refresh decision vindicated!

Welp, P3R is updating as Episode Aegis launches, so Mana is going to have to wait.

How is the game anyway? Planning to getting it soon.

And arguably also puts their rumored PC-like shift for the next console in a more sensible light.

Basically, in order for Xbox to respond to the announcement, go to next-gen.

It’s Persona so it fun for me, I still need to start the DLC. But I loved the game and as per usual with turn based Rpgs, I leveled the heck up! Also as with Person 5 R, my first, we use magical weakness to change up fights.

As for Mana, I have only done the opening so far but there are some nice qol features(which yo be fair it could be just on the opening maps), but items can be seen in the world as glowing lights. Treasure chest are seen on the map as blue circles, we get a guide quick option to show us where to go.

Combat feels a little lose, mostly the jumping, but it’s helped a long by being able to dodge in the air and double jump. Attacking so far is just the usual button mash, with the added heavy multi hit or air smash. But we have the option to hold RB(I think I will change that to LB maybe), to use quick skills and spells we equip.

Left on the d pad opens item wheel and the items seem to just be added to it, I think there’s a limit where we need to start equipping the items ourselves.

I meant Mana but thank you for both. I mean I know Persona already as I have played them. Mana is a new one for me.

It’s OK, I figured going into the little detail I have so far of mana would be the choice. Also wanted to add, double jump and dodging are abilities we get at a higher level. As the opening character had it but the next one didn’t.
