ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST

Don't put any points into Str. It's a trap stat.

You can be too neutral to actually get onto the Neutral route, so don't do that.

Hej min vän, hur står det till?

I'm watching it but because I'm a Japanese speaker, the missed cues written in bright red and players being confused about basic stuff is a bit maddening for me.

So uh. Takemi asks you if you want to have sex in the bedroom. Except Kawakami is in the bedroom making my key picks, and I'm already in a relationship with her.............

I haven't seen any of the designs for the ultimate Personas, but I think it's kinda weird how all of the initial ones are Western mythological figures that have never been used in Persona before... and then the evolved versions are all ones that have been in the series for years. As neat as it is to see stuff like Zorro and the Three Musketeers referenced in Persona, 4's were more thematically consistent.

I read somewhere that all the ultimate personas are beings who in mythology defied or turned against the god's and maybe broke out of imprisonment or something? (I only know of a couple of the ultimate Personas) Which seems sorta fitting with P5's themes and even the whole thing of most of the un-evolved persona's being criminals, anti-heroic, or villainous figures.

Get into more battles. They usually return in a couple fights and sometimes give you items when you get them back.

The formula for damage skills was something like:

Skill damage + Dex + (Str/2)

So yeah putting points in STR the whole game was nerfing yourself. The only time STR was stronger was for normal attacks which you stop using really quickly. Also with the demon whisper system the + on each skill applied to each hit so you ended up getting some weird cases where a +8 cheap early multihit move could solo the game if you put points in dex

A whole lotta DLC is available for Persona 5. Costumes and BGM fom Persona 1, 2, 3, 4 and Shin Megami Tensei if...; Orpheus, Thanatos, Izanagi, M. Izanagi, and Kaguya (all come with an alternate Persona 5-themed Thief God version), and a bunch of character themes for your system. (There are still at least two more sets of DLC costumes - ones from Raidou Kuzunoha, Shin Megami Tensei 4, and Catherine coming up).

I've heard the pricing on it is infuriating.

Atlus makes great games, but they are a pretty loving greedy company.

Why would people be mad that they have to shell out at least 4000 yen just to get access to content that's already on the disc (and that's just for the costumes. 800 yen per set!)

At the beginning of Okumura there is a 30 minute enrage timer that begins counting down and I'm sitting here thinking the boss could never be that long.

Well I died to the timer the second time (after dying to other things), and then finally beat the boss with 1 minute left.

Hard mode :)
