December Palace question, maybe spoilery: I'm ready to send the calling card. If I do will it skip the remaining days in the game? My party members don't seem to be showing up for linking, so not sure if I need to get it over with, or if I'm going to miss out on linking opportunities

The amount of mustache twirling evil in the same was so deep that I honestly thought the last boss would be some weird-god thing distorting everybody's desires and making them depraved, rather than simply subservient

marshmallow creep posted:Yeah, I really didn't like him to start, but then he grew on me. His intro is so bad and creepy. Its weird because he really drops that almost instantly once he becomes a party member too, and his interactions/link are fantastic from that point on. But goddamn did I thoroughly dislike the dude when he first showed up.

the more of haru's confidant I do the more she moves up my ranking of party members. being way into horror movies the same way makoto is way into yakuza movies and actually being into all the dumb joke options these games let you pick makes me rly wish she was in the game more really I feel like a safe way to rank the party is based on what kind of movies they invite you to

Oxxidation posted:All of the Confidants are useful and it would be great to level them all but instead you must go to sleep. Yeah honestly the only one that doesn't really matter or help at all is Devil. And there are a lot of good Devil Persona! I actually think Sojiro's later ranks are pretty useless, because while the items you can make at high ranks are nice, by the time you can and will actually cap Sojiro you'll be at the end of the game and have a whole lot of other SP recovery going on like accessories, Persona with skills like Life Aid and Heat Up, and Futaba's passive SP recovery. I maxed every confidant except Tower (8) and Hanged (7) on my first playthrough without a guide, and it annoyed me more than loving up terribly would've because I realized that if I'd spent like one week somewhere in there more efficiently I could've had a perfect game. Didn't get any of the book/game/DVD trophies, tho. Moltrey posted:Oh my god, Yusuke's early design My favorite early design is still greaser Kanji :/

ChrisBTY posted:no The ironic point made by the final villain is that the assholes you dealt with in the game were also defying its law and order--even if they were acting out of truly callous self-interest, they were in fact embracing their humanity, and thus defying this evil god. A big part of why he didn't kill you at the start, by my estimation, is do that you could corral these stray egos and help squash dissent in his grotesque kingdom of heaven. I guess there's an argument to be made for why one must tolerate the presence of selfishness and evil in the world; to try and see it wiped out entirely is to try and wipe out humanity's...well, humanity.

What other P2 references did you spot? I got the obvious ones like Joker, and I recall noticing a few things throughout the game. Compared to P3 and P4, this game is much more willing to reference the previous generation of Persona, hopefully as quiet teases at a future title with an adult cast.

Vanilla Mint Ice posted:Forever ignore any advice given by anyone telling you to skip Temperance. Get Temperance, max temperance, marry temperance I agree strongly, after seeing the benefits super late with her making coffee or curry almost every night I'm looking forward to maxing her and Sojiro early and never having to worry about SP again, though the adhesives cover lot of that as well I want to at least put a kickin rad accessory on Joker to make him more of a beast. I also want to read all the books, so I want her giving me slack off time in class asap. I gotta actually put the time into Fortune early next game too, I won't need the social stat boosting but being able to pay to magically raise my rank with anyone on any given day is super useful, though since I also really want to end up with everything possible in my room there are probably certain people I won't really want to use it on (except Ann, god Ann you took forever to rank up I literally ran out of new places to take you).

Well that's that. Good game. ending spoilers: It felt weird just how sharply Goro fell off. I was expecting something with him in the epilogue at least during your Confidant goodbyes, even just something like sae giving you his journal where he wrote about how he really wishes you two could be friends, or something.

8-Bit Scholar posted:That's pretty loving dope. P5 is hard to top, but if they did something like a Persona all stars where all the characters from like, P2-P5 join together as adults, or have each member of the cast in there to some degree as adults and you play as a new teen cast, I think that would be a drat hard bar to surpass. If nothing else I want rookie cop Makoto paired with seasoned cop Chie pulling off kung-fu moves on perps. I do think a Persona game with adult characters is a logical next step though if they want to freshen things up, although the formula they use now of a high school setting will never get old with me personally it'd be fun to see a broader range of possible activities and make your job, or jobs, the thing that eat up your afternoons instead of school. May as well go full subversion and make the antagonists teenagers too, maybe they pick up Persona powers but are the ones using them in an rear end in a top hat way instead of lovely adults doing that. I'm sure when P6 comes out in 8 years it'll be high school time again, but it's fun to imagine other approaches they could take.

I have no idea what university life is like in Japan, or how similar/dissimilar it is to college in the United States, but that seems like a really obvious possible direction that would let them mix the game up and do new kinds of side stories while maintaining the same basic structure. We were posting a little about it last night, but it almost feels like some of the characters in Persona 5 (Ann and Yusuke were the two that came to mind for me) would already have made at least as much sense as college students rather than highschool ones.

What's this now? And so it has been the same director for all three then? That's pretty goddamn impressive, the guy spent a decade crafting a super trilogy of RPGs. If the series undergoes another radical shift after this, then these three games will be a legacy for sure.

8-Bit Scholar posted:What's this now? And yeah, the director for P3-P5 has been Katsura Hashino. He directed Nocturne too. A french TV show did an episode on him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGb3BNgU7SE He talks a bit about some of the locales and stuff that inspired Persona 5, and also mentions the pros and cons of working with a modern-day setting. He seemed to want Persona 5 to be his magnum opus when it came to SMT games, so whenever Persona 6 happens I wouldn't be surprised if it had a new director. He made a new studio at Atlus to work on Re Fantasy, and he mentioned that the Persona studio, P-Studio, will continue working, which implies someone is taking his place at the helm there while he moves on to Re Fantasy.

Persona spoilers in case anyone cares: So is my man Helel not in this one? Since I never got to the 90s in 4, he was my main guy as well as Yoshitsune for cheesing the entire end of that game. Any Persona comparable to what he got, skill-wise? I know he was basically a knock-off version of Lucifer, but dammit he was my knock-off!
