Frustrating trial and error gameplay where if you don't guess the boss's gimmicks correctly, your entire party gets killed before you can do anything about it. The music and pictures are cool but I can't get past the intentionally obtuse and frustrating trial and error gameplay loop.

And here I thought crack was addictive

The game launched with hundreds of dollars worth of ♥♥♥♥ to buy in the shop day one, that should tell you everything you need to know.

(Sega you deserve to be getting dumpstered in the reviews legitimately what are you smoking with these prices)

Yay I can play the game normal! :)

(Please stop taking away the normal online mode for these festivals, we don't all like them!)

My problem with the game isn't that it's greedy, my problem is that they're shafting the global playerbase by making the global version of the game way more greedy than the Chinese servers to the point it borders on racist. There's massive laundry lists of changes they made online, and for the sake of brevity, I'm just going to copy and paste one I found on Reddit, keep in mind none of these issues existed in the CN servers.

List of P5X Global issues:

• ⁠No guarantee banner at launch

• ⁠Horrendous soft pity

• ⁠Accelerated schedule with no mention of compensation

• ⁠Backloaded rewards for synergies, incentivizing putting money at the start of the game (fomo)

• ⁠Level requirements to continue the story (i.e get to lv 30 to beat Palace 1 boss) which was NOT there in other versions of the game. Obviously playing on fomo to get players to buy/use stamina

• ⁠Horrendous pop-up ads that were NOT present in the other versions of the game

• ⁠Higher prices for the Beginner sale packs, the Puppet one is 5 dollars, but I’m pretty sure it was only 1 dollar in other versions

• ⁠CN Servers in new update gives 10 limited character pulls in a 7-day login event, meanwhile global only gets 7 weapon pulls in a 7- day login event instead.

• ⁠Many characters pull sources were replaced with weapon pulls or jewels.

• ⁠"Limited" Standard units no longer being put in the standard banner after banner ends immediately.

• ⁠Marian cognite and Marian's weapon won't be added to Lufel's Business Plan rewards

• ⁠Reduced patch release rewards compared to CN servers (600 for CN servers while 100 for Global)

• ⁠Lack of communication between players

• ⁠Fumbling EN localizations and 1.1 livestream EN translations.

And more.

Randy you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Amazing game, I can't wait to see you guys win game of the year!

Why aren't you playing this???

good game :)

The reviews saying the game isn't finished don't realize the game is in beta and that's really funny to me.
