Cool I will continue to play this cool and fun game and see if they will develop this awesome and dynamic story in a way that is something cool and not dumb. I will make sure I have evidence of my plat trophy so my opinions are valid. Do I need a notary or will a timestamp be viable.

the figure skating anime is relevant to this thread because the director of it also directed the op for this game, which explains a lot, about the op for this game

I think it's kinda funny how everyone talks about Ann having a "ridiculous body" but she looks the same as every other girl just blonde.

For the record, I think Ann owns and is the best Phantom girl. Would totally date her if not for a) Morgana would probably dump in P5MC's shoes on a daily basis in retaliation, and b) Doctor lady is 100x cooler.

What do we know about Ann at that time other than

1. She is a hot girl
2. She has a friend she is protective of
3. People think she is a slut because the teachers are creepy with her

It all adds up to "hot girls are people too and can be victimized" which as far media tropes go is somewhere on the level of "hey even enemy soldiers have families". That isn't background, it's just a setup.


I get that people don't agree with me, and maybe there will be some crazy turn around in a few more hours, but drat.

Taking the politically charged topic aside you just remind me of the sort of person who goes "Who is that?!" the second a character is introduced in a movie.

I dont know why youre expecting to know so much about her 6 hours into the game. Ryuji too. Give the game a chance to breathe.

I tried to play the tokyo mirage sessions, but I couldn't get into it at all, because they didn't translate or subtitle the constant party banter in combat. It really bothered me, and I think it was a terrible and cheap translation decision, even though I'm sure it is a good game otherwise

Well, thanks for hearing out my views

It's actually a graphical error from when they tried to convert metric vagina bones into good ol' U-S-A imperial vagina bones. Probably accidentally set them to like a thousandth of a furlong or something.

All I was saying is that playing the rape card in order to make you sympathize with the character is depressingly common and does a disservice to the character. She might get fleshed out later, and that would be cool, and I hope it does.

I am just aggrivated because it seems like we have this conversation every time it happens, where someone goes "this is kind of weird" and a chorus of "psssshhh it's fiiiiiine" comes back. Maybe P5 will redeem itself? Sure, but man it's like a broken record right off the bat.

Have you played 3 and 4? These games are long, people saying "Psh its fine" know that these long rear end games will get compressed in your memory and seeing the same topic a few too many times really isnt gonna matter that much in the long run.

I spent a few hours after work playing up through 4/15. I'd been avoiding the hype for the game for a long time, but on release day I couldn't help myself and ended up buying digital.

If anyone else is like me and ends up buying it in the future, the initial install ends after your second trip to the velvet room.
I think Atlus shot themselves in the foot with the whole "don't spoil anything past 7/7!" thing. I wouldn't have thought about it before but now that I know it's pretty obvious the interrogation scenes take place there.
Speaking of the interrogation, it's a great framing device, but I'm constantly forgetting it's even a thing until it bursts back in. It's a great framing device, and as I'm writing this I remembered the lawyer said something about a teammate ratting me out and I'm super curious who it might've been.
I've never been to Japan, but the little bit of you transferring trains on your first day of school had me thinking back to navigating the metro in Mexico City. Sent a shiver up my back when it hit me.
I love how oppressive everything feels for the first bit of the game. The entire school staff being a bunch of hardasses, along with the first arc's villain being as big a jackass as he is really paints a different mood from the previous two games.
