Huh, you can sit on the can in the Velvet Room and have Caroline tell you about what Shadows and Personas are. How completely pointless. I wish Mr. Edogawa was back instead.

A "Have you tried..." list for Persona 5 would be pretty long. Though admittedly half of that is the people who don't read tutorials and never realise you can press square on the map screen to see who's where. Have you tried... Doing crosswords in Leblanc? Have you tried... Drawing on the blackboard in your class? Have you tried... Feeding your plant? Have you tried... Dunking on Mishima at every opportunity?

NRVNQSR posted:A "Have you tried..." list for Persona 5 would be pretty long. Yes Yes Yes Sometimes But different thief tools in different tabs is the one that got me because NOBODY mentioned that I was just like "Wait... are those different headings?" -- edit: The Reaper gives a load of XP but like no yen compared to level-appropriate enemies so given the time investment I've just fought him once and then leave him be.

bewilderment posted:70 hours into this game I discovered that the 'make thief tools' menu where you make lockpicks and stealthanols (as if you would ever) has multiple tabs and there are a whole bunch of different thief tools. So that why I could never make more Go-Home.

Oh my god, something I never realized, but I guess if you're too strong for a Shadow (at least in Mementos) and they spot you, they start running around in a panic.

Yeah, the thief tool tabs are why getting the trophy for making them all can be a pain. You'll have to farm a lot of Liquid Mercury, anyway.

Every time I finish a Persona game I feel this compulsion to buy stupid amounts of Persona merch. Then I poke around online, find very little and all of it I'd have to import from Japan and give up. Atlus really needs to do a better job of offering me Phantom Thieves action figures, coffee mugs, baseball caps, etc.

Palace 5 is the worst one so far I think. It goes on for far too long, has annoying gimmicks and enemies, and I'm not really invested in the story behind it. I'm at the final gimmick section and I just want to die.

I'm at the final gimmick section and I just want to die. 100% agree. It's the absolute worst palace, and it's at the point where you can really beat them in one day. The music gave me a headache, the gimmicks weren't fun. The story is weak and the boss is my least favorite in the entire game. Just because it's designed better than Palace 4 boss doesn't mean I hate it less.

The Palace 5 boss is the only good thing about it. And the theme I guess. It's pretty solid.

Clarste posted:I liked the Palace 5 boss because he shoots hamburgers at you. It's really the only one that's out of place aesthetically though. All of the Palaces share a theme: they are all places a thief would want to rob. A castle full of treasure, an art museum, a bank, a casino, a cruise ship, an Egyptian tomb...but a space base? Feels out of place. I don't mind it because the "corporate rear end in a top hat views employees as robots" is a pretty easy sell and I enjoyed smashing up the robots, even if the guessing game was kinda dumb at the end. But it's easily the odd man out of the group. All of the other dungeons are pretty universally excellent; the space base is the only one that feels like a slog.

I felt like a badass tearing through the minions of that thing and then I died to the Almighty burg. drat my pride for never letting me move down off Hard mode. I needed Tarunda AND Marakukaja to live. Also gently caress Harisen Recovery for that fight.

You sneak onto the Death Star to rescue Princess Leia and also steal the plans for the enemy superweapon (ie: get info on the mental shutdowns from him).

And either way, it still feels out of place in terms of "places you'd want to rob" as a unifying location theme. Pyramid only seems out of place until you consider that robbing pyramids has been the pasttime of thieves since time immemorial.

The airlock puzzle wasn't too bad until I tried to do the last section (with the automatic locks) with no SP and couldn't fight Scathach everywhere. I had to duck through one of the automatic ones to avoid a fight, and the only way to progress was to backtrack all the way to the beginning of the zone again.

The biggest sin of palace design is that you never rob a train Japan knows enough western tropes that that would have been fine, right? Endorph posted:i didnt really find the airlock puzzle that bad. if you think it through and open up the map a few times it's pretty easy to work out. I never really understood how the airlocks worked in the second area. It's just that you basically never have an option to go two different ways so if you just go forward you'll make it to the end eventually.

The green airlocks switch when you pass through them as opposed to having a switch. You know, after playing The Witness, standard RPG puzzles feel a lot easier! Speaking of themes: palace songs, in order of coolness from least to greatest: 5 remix 1 remix 1 original 2 original 4 remix 2 remix 3 remix 5 original 8 7 3 original 4 original and in the top position, number 6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVr4QzdwjHQ

He's literally wearing a Darth Vader costume in its entirety, he just has a cheesy helmet so you can see his face. ...Although I guess the helmet is the most iconic part of Darth Vader's costume. And in terms of the universal themes, it's the classic enemy fortress that you need to rescue someone from and/or sabotage.

The airlock thing probably wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't also done the Barracks in the same day. Doing the whole dungeon in one go is pretty miserable. I thought the Barracks was going to be kind of a cool puzzle, but in practice, it's super tedious and having enemies respawn all the drat time there was really draining.
