I never finished the Endurance Run the first time I tried to watch it. I think I got up to around when Nanako got kidnapped before I got distracted by other stuff.

So I recently decided to rewatch the whole thing from the beginning. Currently up to part 10.

A quick question about ailments in SMT4:Apocalypse: do they work like in Nocturne where they're divided into groups that you can be weak to (ie nerve/mind/curse) or is it like Strange Journey where each demon has different levels of weakness to each ailment? Because I can swear I got a smirk off inflicting bind on an Oni.

e: balls, I liked the Nocturne method.

Demons have individual resists and weaknesses; for example, the Oni in your example is weak against Panic, Sleep, and Bind, while Yomotsu-Ikusa are only weak against Panic.

I'm gonna hope the filter is either just for the trailer to make him sound 'cooler' or only when he's talking to you via telepathy or something, and that it's normal when you're just conversing in the room itself.

He sounds fine to me, although I do kind of miss Dan Woren's take on the character.

I didn't expect the Velvet Room mechanics to use such... vivid portrayals of executions, wow.

Tap "A" to drink!!!

I finished the plot of P4D and everything in free mode. I still enjoy the game, but I think the soundtrack is weak. There's a good amount of slow songs which don't feel like they fit. The item which makes notes go faster is appreciated when playing those but I'd rather just go back to the same 2 or 3 tracks.

Basically "Time to Make History" "Pursuing My True Self", and "Reach Out to The Truth" are the highlights.

The one remix of Shadow World is horrible.

Odd that they're not getting Igor's old VA back. I know they recast for the Japanese version since his old VA died, but I'm curious why it was done here.

... I say as if I didn't spoil myself on the game after it was pushed back from Valentine's Day.

It could just be a coincidence, they've recasted a bunch of Persona characters recently for a variety of reasons.

I mean, the new JP VA sounds way different from old Igor, and there's dual audio this time, so recasting Igor in English is only natural, if only to keep the character "feel" similar between both scripts.

Man, Persona fusion seems a lot more brutal this time around. I was not expecting that we'd be executing our Persona, let alone in multiple different ways.

Im assuming it has to do with the theme of the story? Crime and punishment etc?

Honestly Ive done a real drat good job of ignoring anything P5 related so I might be completely off on this.

It's just part of the game's more brutal aesthetic and playing to the game's themes, there's no real major significance behind it.

It fits with the whole aesthetic of the Velvet Room as a prison, so it's definitely appropriate. It's just that I was only expecting the Velvet Prison to be a representation of the Phantom's story, I didn't think the Persona would be considered prisoners too. And then murdered for more power. I mean, the Velvet Room being a Limo or an Elevator were just metaphors. It didn't change how Igor went about his jobs. This is a lot more interesting. It certainly makes me think the Velvet Room and everyone involved are a lot cooler.

Persona 5 seems to have a lot of neat ideas with it's presentation to give everything just loads more character.

I always feel stupid that even though I think Persona 3 has the coolest looking velvet room in the series, I never realized it was supposed to be an elevator until the very end of the game.

...gently caress, this is going to be a long fight.

Kiss the Joycon to Kiss Zelda

Yeah someone mentioned it already, I have Odin with Null Charm. I think I'll have to get some accessories to null charm on other characters though.

I was very disappointed that Thunder Reign doesn't shock Nyx. :( Also I didn't bloody save after I beat Jin and Takaya. I was holding back a little bit against them because I didn't know you'd get a full party restore (and be able to re-pick your party) afterwards.

Also my MC is lv 73 or 74 I think, so I dunno if I need to gain a level or two at least. I'd prefer to not have to grind.

I feel like I could easily run out of SP just because of the length of the fight. When I saw that TR didn't shock her I just started using physical attacks instead.
