Aw poo poo man, I bought Persona Q months ago and still haven't touched it but I absolutely oughta if my skelebro Turdak is in there. :kiddo:

Seriously Turdak is probably my favorite demon from the series he's just this cool disease god skeleton who can kill people in a split second but if you're on good terms with him he's just like "nah it's cool I got you fam".

I'm at the school trip after the second Palace and Ryuji's English VA continues to be The Best. I can't get enough of how his voice cracks whenever he's pissed off, which is "usually."

If you mean the gameplay I gotta disagree because if you're into it dungeon crawling can be pretty fun, if also sort of brainless and akin to gambling.

P2 has a bad combo of ps1/psp loading times, constant random battles and fights that are neither fast or engaging/threatening (outside of negotiations I guess). It really drags.

Sigh, I'm only starting 4th Palace because I'm a turtle.

Anyways, it made me realize how much I wish Makato was the MC of the game. Although, I find Akira to be cool and all he needs some kind of VA other than the silent protagonist. The entire game would be about her solving crimes and trying to redeem herself to her older sister/society being more than honor student.

e: I want Vel to return and star in her own Persona game.

Eh, I feel like most of that is from the bad...baaaad English dub. Koyasu does a much better job of voicing a quiet but intense and overdramatic Angry Boy who needs a hug.

I don't have a huge problem with his "MAYA...........FORGET ABOUT MEEEE" schtick because it's done as a call out to other stoic teenage loner heroes and it's also implied that that's him trying to be subtle or stealthy and he just doesn't do a very good job of it, so

The gap between P2 and P3 was about the same length as the one between P4 and P5. Are you trying to say that P4 also killed the series?

Well Phantom Thieves were gaining popularity so it'd make the most sense in a way :v:

Hell, if you told me I'd be allowed to join a magical anime club to rob Trump's Palace so he'd be less of a terrible human being I'd be OK.

Did you forget about Persona 4 Golden and Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and Persona 4: Dancing All Night and Persona Q and Persona 4: The Animation and Persona 4 Golden: The Animation?

Saying that the Persona series was "put to bed for 5 years" after P4 in the same way it was after P2 doesn't exactly ring true.

Wow, people weren't kidding about Ann's link being... unfocused. There's some serious mood whiplash going from one rank to the next.

I'm also at the point where I'm more worried about juggling night links than daytime ones. Ryuji's done, Ann's at 7, Tae's at 9, and Yusuke and Makoto are waiting on stat checks. Meanwhile I still need to grind Guts to push Iwai past 7, and then Sun/Moon/Hierophant are still at 4, and I only just started Star/Fortune/Devil.

I wouldn't really say the series was asleep during the time between P4 and P5 considering there were 4 spinoffs, a remake, an anime, a remake of the anime, and 4 movies.

Palace 7 calling card:

I have 600k, nothing I need to buy, all stats maxed and only Yusuke's S. Link to level up (at least the only one I care about finishing). But it looks like I can't hang out with anyone now that I've finished the palace so I guess I just send it? and lose out on 22 days?

None of the other Personas actually had you date adults, right? There was some poo poo with the devil links in P3/4, and the thing with your teacher in 3 that never went anywhere once she found out yoy were her student in real life, but everyone you could date before 5 was actually age appropriate (except Ken)?

Its a weird change.

Kinda. That's definitely the worst, but its also kinda gross you have a bunch of mid-twenties women getting hot for a sixteen year old dude.

I even like most of their confidant chains but I really think they would have been better if they turned you down and only had a friendship route. Because you're a high school student and they're a grown rear end adult.
