Anybody know of a good lightweight Social Link guide for this game? Mostly looking for something to have on hand for picking the right dialogue options and reminding myself when people are available, not a full game "DO THINGS JUST SO" guide.

It says it's shipping from EU SARL so I'm not holding my breath. There are two depots about 30 miles away from me though so guess it depends.

I'll leave it for now and see if it updates by tomorrow.

I've been on a bit of a platinum trophy kick lately. I'm not usually a trophy/achievement hunter, but for some reason I've been really enjoying going for the platinum on single player games this year (most notably NieR and Horizon). How are the trophies for Persona 5? I was reading something about needing to do a NG+ to get them all.

I ordered the Take Your Heart edition off Amazon. Got the shipping notification at 8am this morning. Amazon lists it as delivering tomorrow but the UPS tracking lists it as delivering Wednesday. Wouldn't be the first time Amazon has hosed up shipping. I don't know what it is, but for the last six months or so, Amazon has loving sucked with their shipping and I have received a disproportionately high number of late packages.

no matter how old you are, you can still have a favorite idol though yeah I think they mention him having pin-up magazines

there are some npc conversations I remember where he'd actually have decent 1 on 1 conversations with a lot of students to talk about their futures and help guide them so really somehow mooroka was the least worst adult in that game

his whole rant at the beginning of the game is less "Teenage Girls Are All Sluts" and more about how he just thinks teenagers are horny idiots (not wrong) and worried they'll become gently caress ups

to be fair there's a diff between thinking an actress/musician is cute and actively perving on kids in real life, and there's also a lot of side comments about him treating the female students well and talking them about the difficulties they'd face due to their gender in a realistic but honest way. do not misrepresent king moron.

Let's not ignore that aside from a few seniors, all the characters in Persona are under the age of 18. Actually, make that all of anime.

Morooka was probably the best teacher at Yasogami. Though there wasn't really much competition.

Also remember, King Moron didn't actually say he was going to check the girls to see if they were pure. That was Jeff Gerstmann doing an impression of him as a joke. It was uncanny, I know, but don't confuse a joke by a commentator with actual dialogue, now.

gently caress. I've played the game 4 times and I could have sworn he said that. The Endurance Run broke me.

Those were always funny. I forgot which episode but when Adachi was talking and he had that funny looking puzzled face Vinny or Jeff said "Has anyone seen my UNDERWEAR?!" and I couldn't stop laughing for a while. It was pitch perfect. They were making fun of how the game likes to bold and color the important objects in a sentence.
