Is this good menu design?

Yes. It looks absolutely gorgeous and it's not hard to read or unintuitive.

>>377894762
one of my favourite menu's ive seen in a while

The day whoever it is designs the UI for P3/4/5 leaves Atlus is a grim fucking day.

Do we know his/her name, by the way? That person needs recognition.

No. But it's an OK stylistic choice for a game with simple menus like this.

It's aesthetic as fuck. It's fantastic.

>>377894762
Yes, stylish, fluid, aesthetic as fuck alongside being clear and intuitive to use.

>>377894762
I thought it was cool until I played the game and the bright colors started hurting my eyes. Also the only reason it looks so good is because there's very little information to convey. All style, no substance.

Absolutely not, however it matches P5's angsty aesthetic and target audience quite well, so it gets the job done.

>>377897743
*tips fedora*

>>377897836
I know that because of your love for memes forming sentences that don't involve memes may be difficult for you, but it's a fact that the entire theme of P5 is teenage angst, with the whole "Yeah, eff society and adults, they're all rotten" thing.
I am sorry I made you uncomfortable for liking your angsty teen fantasy game.

Objectively? As long as it serves it's purpose and doesn't hinder the player, it's kosher.
Subjectively? You're free to disagree, (and if it ain't broke don't fix it) but innovation deserves praise.
your personal tastes dictate whether an artistic style choice is good or not.
I like it a lot

If I wasn't going to buy Persona anyway, I would buy this game purely for the menu aesthetic.

>>377898485
Looking at it for more than a second will reveal that it's not random, but a pattern of white and black with red for compliment. Just cuz you don't like it doesn't make it "hurr hurr random".

Will this shit ever come to PC?

I don't want to buy a console for one fucking game

>>377898532
Thank you for completely rephrasing the original sentence to suit the point you are making.
I merely said that P5 is angsty teenage fantasy. This is a fact, it's not necessarily negative, and it's not meant to be a criticism.
However, since YOU found some problem with that fact, I'd say you are the one getting triggered over it being angsty teenage fantasy. Maybe you should reexamine yourself.

>>377898685

you underestimate how low the bar is for innovation, anon. (Again, just my opinion) On the Ps4, I consider any game that bothers to create assets and code? for a unique save system that isn;t the bog-standard Playstation save screen to be innovative.
tl;dr it might just be art but since no one else is doing it (or at least there's no over saturation on stylish stuff right now) it FEELS innovative

>>377897743
In what world is P5 "angsty"? Its art draws heavily from punk show posters. What part of that do you think conveys angst, you fucking dope?

>>377898624
It still a clutered mess. There is also very little reason to change colors since it look like shit. Just look at the dialog box why did they change the second-third letter color ? It look stupid and P5 design is gull of shit like that

Are the graphics any different compared to the PS4 version?

The whole game is style over substance, so it definitely fits. It was kinda fun playing and I reached the ending but still felt like the game was shit and I regret wasting almost 100 hours on it. Its the first game Ive ever felt like that. Especially the second half of the game dragged on and on and on and on to the point I just skipped dialogue and turned on safe mode to just rush through dungeons.

I often let the game run while doing chores, so there are a few hours while I was afk. This and I take my time in games. It was only the ship dungeon where I said "fuck it" and started to rush.

The gameplay is the best it's been in the Persona series. Both combat and the demon-Pokemon parts are a huge upgrade to 3 and 4.

And every non-smt game too
Basically all games are shit and look like shit and story is shit.

>>377905905
I'm a Persona fan, but come on man.
5 definitely has the best gameplay in any persona game.
But it's still a turn based/party based rpg.
It's good, but it's not even as interesting as Chrono Trigger was (purely game play wise). And exactly how old is that game now?

>>377905905
He's talking in general and yeah the gameplay's the best it's been in the subseries but that's not saying much when most games in the subseries' own franchise are a lot better in that regard. The style goes a long way to alleviate some of the tedium, though.

>>377906572
The only real problem with P5's combat is how it gives you a lot of options, yet they all feel lackluster or sub-optimal in some way. Multi-hit Phys skills are still OP, Baton Pass is imbalanced to the point that they are disabled for boss fights, guns are a cool addition but they are nowhere near a full damage type, etc. It's kinda like Persona 1's grid and the like

>>377907216
>Why did it take so long
Because Japan, that's why. Most of the time they're stuck in the past gameplay-wise

>>377907293
>guns are a cool addition but they are nowhere near a full damage type

Except they are? The whole point of guns is to give a Persona-free attack that's stronger than a normal melee attack.

I only hate the fact that combat menu blocks your persona so you never ever see it and that items menu is too fucking small and you have to scroll down too much.

>>377907390

From a technical prospective, no. Any good design will look good up close and from far away. It looks like a fucking mess when viewed from a distance. This is like basic art 101 here but who cares it's a videogame.

Why the fuck would it need to look good from a distance that isn't the normal viewing distance? We know how people play videogames. They play them in front of a TV from normal TV viewing distances or closer. They don't play them across the yard.

The main menu suffers a bit of readability, the ransom note font is iconic but i wish they'd chosen something a bit easier on the eyes for the main menu. I don't think the menu is organized particularly well either, and I wish Party had been named Stats, which is more descriptive of why I visit that screen. Having the flavor text on the right side of the screen styled in a very similar way to the menu options is sort of a bummer too.

At the end of the day though, it LOOKS incredible, and I can put my UX autism away for an entertainment product that isn't supposed to have everyday functionality.

You can rotate them out mid dungeon, and when they're on the bench they heal Hp/SP. That's why people share roles as far as elements/healing etc go. So you can freely swap between them to increase the amount of time you can stay in a dungeon without spamming items.

>>377909425
Or just slap SP adhesives on them
They're more than enough until you're at the final dungeon

>>377909634
I thought so too because they explicitly say "choose your lineup" and put everyone in a row in front of you and you have to talk to them to make them follow you. I realised you can change them anytime closer to the end of museum though (or maybe right at the end because le every boss has fire attack and we gave you party member that is weak to fire instead of party member that resists to it).

>>377909902
Those are so fucking good, I wish I'd grinded up some cash to get them earlier than I did.

>>377909986
They are TOO good while other sp recovery methods are too bad at first and OP if you max sojiro and kawakami and then also fucking futaba comes in). I wish game had better sp balance.

>>377910095
Me too but I can see how they kind of wanted SP to be a limiting factor for dungeon exploration. I had that bitch Kawakami working the brewer every night I could.

>>377899662
>5'8"
Horse shit

>>377909634

Wait, you can fucking swap them whenever? Holy shit.

They definitely should have mentioned that in one of the 180 tutorials they make you read in the game because that's different from how it used to work.

>>377899662
Wait, that's weird, i'm 5'1 and he look shorter then me, what the hell? Is the chair that fucking tall or what?

>>377910387
Right?
I didn't learn about it until I got to Kaneshiro.
On the other hand they teach you about every little fucking thing in NG+.
Really wish there was a 'Tutorial Off' option.

>>377910232
I mean yea, SP is a limiting factor for exploration but it doesn't matter as soon as you get at least couple of sp regens.
Coffee\curry would be a good alternative but you have to either spend time to do it, which is VERY bad or pay money to kawakami...money which you can use to buy sp regen instead.

And the longer you play the more broken it is: you have sp regen AND kawakami doesn't cost any money AND she will work every day for you AND you get vegetables AND you can buy potatoes AND you can trade figurines for sp brews...you get shat on sp regen in the begginning but it only matters in first palace because it's long (and only if you rush it instead of doing it on last week) and second palace is split up so you regen sp anyways.

Basically, by the time you can buy sp regen 3 you get enough sp to clear any palace in one shot (expecially if you use autismo confusion) and right after you do that game starts shitting even more sp regen options for you. Would have been better without sp regen or at least make it Death 10 locked and Joker-only.

nah, that menu design is pretty trash. most of them are okay tbf, but that specific one is pretty awful

superior menu coming though sorry lads

P5s fits the games aesthetic is all, it's not a very good menu beyond that, it straight up lacks information you want, and it's an eyesore with random pointless shit at the top right, and 33-50% of the screen being flat out unused wasted space whilst they cram the few things that are there all in the one spot for no reason, and then have absolutely no kind of alignment or shape to the list just random indendation that doesn't even match the shape of the hand it's meant to be layered on.

P5s sub menus are far better than its main one, at least mostly, the equipment one and the equipment shop one are pretty awful too.

>>377910493

Oh jesus christ, tutorials are still there in NG+? Fuck.

I was kind of hoping that they would let you skip the first dungeon entirely and have the game start directly from 4/18 but I guess that's off the table.

Speaking of which, does this game the longest non-gameplay opening or what? In P3 it was like two hour. In P4 I was told by my brother that it was 5 hours before I get to play the game for real, and I assumed he was joking, but no, my game clock was 4:55 when I finally got to make my own calls on what to do during a day. In this game it's 8 HOURS. Jesus. It just keeps getting longer. At this rate, P6 starts with a 17 hour linear segment where you just mash through conversations and follow a script in dungeons.

Yes.

It's stylish, but you can still understand everything with no confusion.

God tier menu design coming through

>>377912629
Yeah it really, really annoys me how much worse IVA's looks. The gross textures really kill the sleekness, wish there was an option to make it look like IV's but with the colors of IVA's.

>>377907216
> Why did it take so long for someone to realize using more buttons instead of having to scroll through menus like an NES game is fucking incredible?
SaGa and Final Fantasy series did it in the 90s.

What exactly was done that meant such a drastic upgrade? All I've seen from looking around was the addition of guns and Baton Pass

>>377910471
It's a meme dumbass

>>377908345
I had to use mine for Akechi. I'd done the whole Palace in a day and just finished that last mini-boss. Thought I could waltz out with no SP and barely any health then that faggot comes in and starts screeching at me.

>>377915190
>What exactly was done that meant such a drastic upgrade?

- All randomness has been removed from skill inheritance so upper tier fusions take five seconds instead of 2 hours (FUCKING FINALLY)
- If a fusion result isn't in your registry yet, it gets marked with a *NEW* (I can't believe it took this long for them to add this)
- Story dungeons are no longer random, they're entirely hand made (huge upgrade in level design)
- UI improvements: instead of a menu, all options are just mapped to buttons
- Transitions into and out of battle are faster, animations are way faster = less wasted time
- All social links give you bonus perks now, instead of just the playable character ones (huge balance upgrade)

I feel like I'm forgetting some of the important ones but that's off the top of my head. It's just a ton of quality-of-life improvements and balance fixes.

I have a feeling it looks better on smaller displays, especially on a phone or Vita with Remote Play. I like it on my TV, but I don't notice a lot of it because of the screen size.

>>377915856
Same place I had to pop it. After the third boss fight in a row or so I just said fuck it and used it. Can't think of a better use than to take that smug prick down a peg.

Yeah. It's a great menu that provides all relevant information in a neat and stylish way. I have a live wallpaper theme that emulates this style. I could upload a webm of it in motion if anyone cares. It's very slick.

>>377906856
How am I supposed to know what menu's you've seen?

>>377916235
do it

>>377916235
Go for it, I'm curious

>>377915919
That certainly sounds pretty good, I was replaying P3 recently and having to re-roll so many times for a fusion is pretty bad.

And the S.Links actually giving you stuff other than their exclusive Persona at the end certainly makes me happy to gear, I was lamenting before how all the School Clubs were actually the same (both Sports and Culture Clubs), with the very same people and story, only with a different backdrop and it meaning nothing

The options being mapped to different buttons and the combat in general being faster is also a godsend, more than once I've selected "attack" by accident and got wiped out by it

>>377908345
I never grew out of it, I always unconsciously challenge myself by never using items, every game

>>377917360
I do that too
Only I make a point of getting a full collection of all the items and buying only what can't be obtained by other means, stealing as much as possible if available

You don't join any school club in P5 what they did do in p4 was if you join a different school club you get a different person with a different SL storyline.
For exampe you can choose between choosing the basketball theme or the soccer team.
If you join the soccer theme the social link is about the guy on the left and his trouble with his ex-GF and if you join the basketball team the social link will be about the guy on the right and his family problems.
They are both the strength arcana social link, but the storyline will be different depending on which club you join which was pretty cool.

Don't you call my favorite terrible! I hate you!

>>377918979
Yep, I played P4 (Kou was a pretty cool guy, haven't done the soccer one yet) and liked how they did it there, which made me dislike P3's system more. You have 6 clubs that might as well have been just 2

But I would have liked it if they also had an effect on the way the character develops. Say, joining the Kendo team adding a bonus to weapon damage or Track a bonus to footwear

>>377894762
No, but I can praise it for being different.

I actually thought that was the case, so I joined Kendo since I though it would increase the damage I did with my sword.

not really. you don't go into your menu as often as you would think. every click feels really tactile as well with the sound effects and what not
