For people who want to do more Phantom Thieving.

If you think to yourself, "Man, I wish P5 had more villains to change the heart of and palaces to explore", then this game is for you. More dastardly villains to change the heart of in the same format as P5-palace exploration, calling card, the works-everything you're already familiar with from P5.

I was hoping for a twist or something new, like giving people treasure to change their ways or destroying palaces in a different way, but nope. Due to lack of innovation in the story, I was disappointed and won't recommend this game to most people that already played P5. BUT again if you love the P5 Phantom Thieving format you would love this game.

Some other notes:
-graphics and music are all high quality and top notch.
-the player character has very weak motivations. He becomes a phantom thief almost on a whim
-characters (villains included) are interesting and entertaining to watch
-voice acting is great if you like Japanese voice actors, except for the owl Lufel imo. I wish they made the voice actor use her usual cute voice and adjusted Lufel's design to match
-I hated mementos and it's back, car and all. Expect to be forced to navigate the same boring subway tunnels.
-I still intend to play this game casually just to see what the devs come up with in terms of characters and designs

My first Monster Hunter. Very fun gameplay loop. Worth playing just to see all the cool monsters and equipment. I recommend just playing the base game and skipping the Iceborne DLC, as Iceborne gets tedious and boring. The difficulty ramps up, which is fine, but the tool you're given to balance the difficulty (clutch claw) is unfun to use. If you must play Iceborne (ie., you want to fight the admittedly awesome final free update monsters, Alatreon and Fatalis) consider taking a long break after finishing the base game and before starting Iceborne to avoid burnout.

Worth buying the Deluxe Edition for this in my opinion, if you're an average player like me. Really helpful for Dante Must Die difficulty.

Swap to a set of these, if you are low on health, at a goddess statue or phone booth. Break Age them until your health is full. Then swap back to your regular combat devil breakers.

If you don't plan on playing DMD difficulty though you probably won't find this that useful.
