is this the one where they shoot themselves in the head to summon personas?

My copy shipped from Amazon earlier today. Pretty surprised they broke the street date.

In the US Amazon often will do this. Add in that amazon became Atlus's "Official Store" when Atlus closed down theirs and Atlus games especially get sent out to be delivered on release day.

Funny thing about all these people clamoring for voice acting? My guess is voice acting cut scenes are skipped at a huge rate.

@Rhaknar: No this one is one where you kill Hitler.

Got the game. Going to play it after my studies.

I was going to get it day 1 but funds are a little short. I'll pick it up on PSN when it's on sale. Persona 3 goes on sale all the time for $19.99 instead of $39.99.

Zero voice acting, huh? :/

There is some voice acting. There's some banter right before boss fights, quips during battle (such as a character shouting "Persona!"), and there are a few FMV sequences that have voices. It isn't fully voiced though, not to the degree that P4 was.

I was just told there is zero voice acting in this game. If it is sans voice it is sans me.

Same same

I don't fine the lack of voice acting to be that much of a deal breaker in this game. The game doesn't try to take the more cinematic approach to story telling, instead it goes the traditional JRPG route. You know, boxes of text. And I don't know about you guys, but I tend to read the text faster than the actors say it and then hit X to bring up the next bit. Sometimes I let it play out, but most the time I move at my pace, not the games.

I'm exactly the same. Even when the acting is great, I'm usually too impatient to listen to the words I just finished reading.

It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but I find it hard going back to old games that aren't fully voiced.

Hopefully in any local retailers get it soon I might buy it , while I don´t know if I can bear the outdated design and old RPG grinding fest I´ll try suck it up just because Im really curious about the story like who this Philemon guy is and why is he a Butterfly now and why Igor kicked the opera singer and thr pianist out of the Velvet Room and people say Pre-Persona 3 games were pretty dark too so yeah Im a bit interested.

According to Amazon, I should be getting it any day now. I'd prefer tomorrow.

I guess it'd be fun if they Quicklooked this game. That way I can decide if I care that my PsP is broken or not.

I had this preordered but since I know I'm getting a Vita I decided the soundtrack wasn't enough to justify getting the physical copy and not having it on my Vita later.

That's the debate I'm having right now. To pick up the digital copy that I can carry forward with the Vita, or grab the physical copy and get the soundtrack. If only Atlus would deliver a digital soundtrack with the digital copy of the game. :(

@AngelN7: It also answers the question of why Igor's nose is so long.

Btw, I've played up through a few boss-like battles and most of the more important conversations had VO. The missing VO is in the side conversations you can have in almost every room of the game--which to me is fine, since that would have been a huge amount of VO that I would have just skipped because I read it faster than they talk.

I was just looking into buying this again, but yeah, I think I might wait for the Vita download version. Assuming, of course, that I buy a Vita.

What would the difference be between the psp and vita download versions?

My preorder finally came in yesterday, and I'm performing the data install as I type this. (Whoever misplaced the package at the post office for the better part of a week can suck it.)
