I like Ryuji's awakened Persona, Captain Kidd was cool but so is punk rock Monkey King

It's good, perhaps as good. But I don't know if i'd say it's definitively better.

I like most of the upgraded persona's except Yusuke's honestly. They have worse names though.

Does haru not show up at school randomly before she becomes relevant, like makoto? Real missed opportunity if so.

Speaking of if you don't think her evolved persona is better than you're wrong, since it's the exact same thing except transformed and ready to roll out

I beat the game just now and some people in this thread must of been mashing or something as Sae mentions that no one can find Akechi's body, the dudes just gone. I guess he really is rattlin around in his pops head.

I could of sworn I saw her a few times, and in some cutscenes like the Fireworks Festival one. She doesn't really do anything though.

I mean you can see Makoto hanging out at the library, I think it would have been fine to see Haru here and there taking care of the plants or whatever. Nothing major, but at least you could interact with her before she joins your party.

The fact that it's a transformer is good, the fact that Makoto stops riding it is not.

Dude died off screen in the metaverse. I will bet any amount of money he comes back in all the spinoffs with 'lol, I didn't actually die' and put pretty good odds on you being able to 'save' him in the inevitable directors cut

Which sucks cause hes a lovely murderer and total dick.

I'd like to believe that my good friend Akechi saved my other good friend Ryuji from explosions and then disappeared afterwards out of shame, only to return in a fighting game based spinoff in a couple of years.

You can't see Haru most likely because even if she is taking care of plants it would be during the school day like during lunch (because she has no friends) and not hanging about after school since she's a wealthy daughter of a big company and has her own car ride and escort. If the game had moments where you could roam around during lunch then it would've been cool to see Haru pop up in the background here and there

People have been talking about a Persona 5 Crimson or whatever, which I would be totally fine with, but I wonder how they would handle that considering (ending spoilers) the Metaverse gets destroyed and Joker's in jail for two months after beating the final boss. I guess there's the month between when he gets released and when he goes back home?

This is what I assumed the reveal was going to be, and was disappointed when it didn't happen.

Unfortunately not; just the couple of fixed plot scenes. Seems like an obvious thing for them to add for the remake.

It's a shame that her social link timing is so tied to the plot, since it would be amazing if you could max it early and get an option to see through her disguise in the Beauty Thief scene.

You do have control during school hours in a bunch of places. She should probably be in the crowd reacting to Shiho's suicide attempt, for example.

If you're introducing Haru earlier it shouldn't be through cameos. Like just have Morgana run into her while at school and get her introduced to Joker through that or something. Makoto got a couple of scenes before palace 3 and Futaba got a lot of foreshadowing from Sojiro. Haru really could've used something like that.

He stops being the navigator after the fourth palace but until then you're stuck with him saying stuff. Also that is conveniently when he stops being weird about Ann.

I like Yusuke's though. Kamu Susano-o is rad.

Also gonna echo that Futaba's is baller too. While the UFO has it's own charm there's something hilarious and amazing about having Position Hack go off and watch MC look up to see a smiling tron sun.

The "this game is a work of fiction" agreement at the start is meta as hell.
-It is narrated by the games central antagonist who is against such beliefs.
-The phantom thieves polls on the matter of them being "real" or not are a direct parallel.
-Belief in the phantom thieves ultimately ensures their victory
-Igor describes the rehabilitation as "A Game".

Basically yeah. Just always extort for money if you have the option and you'll swim in cash.

Also after 2 or 3 successful times all out attack so you get the cash and the drop.
