That would make sense for the Fool always being the Wild Card, the Fool even overwriting previous arcanas, it says Justice so i unno Loki was always a lovely dude, gently caress Loki, the original antagonist of the series. I liked his earlier design a lot more  Not just a purple Namekian with a cloak sorta related, I saw the Persona 1 design of Lucifer the other day, and while it's super dumb, it's a different take and I like that

It stands for robin hood. UberJew posted:bonds go both ways, its joker Yeah that's better. I was enjoying the idea that instead of a bond of friendship he had a bond of hate.

I actually really like the new Loki design. Anything that reminds of the freaky designs of P2 is good in my book.

If you can track it down on like Youtube or Dailymotion or whatever, the original OVA for the source material for SMT, Digital Devil Story, is a cool 80's anime thing. Heavy warning for violence and sexual assault, but it's a neat time capsule of watching a kid summon Loki into the world by using his school's computer lab

The best part of the original Megaten and SMT games are the OSTs, just listen to those and skip the games.

Since we're speaking of old SMT games. In every Persona game since 3 Igor brings up the MC accepting the consequences of their actions. Is this just Igor repeatedly throwing shade at Tatsuya or am I misreading the situation?

So the Prison of Regression is there to hold captive people that are too lazy to think for themselves. All the security devices are simple logic puzzles. Clever narrative integration or just normal gameplay?

It's definitely a placeholder, but I don't see any reason it shouldn't be Justice. Since, you know, its user is Justice. And apparently whoever was assigning Arcana that you'd never see just assumed Loki should be Justice by default.

And apparently whoever was assigning Arcana that you'd never see just assumed Loki should be Justice by default. Well yes but all Wild Card holders have been aligned with The Fool, and Loki, Norse Trickster God of Deceit and Betrayal, who for all his crimes gets sentenced to suffer for all eternity (till Ragnarok happened, at any rate) under a giant snake that drips venom onto him, seems more a Fool than Justice Persona.

I mean, Loki is the starting persona of a person who is the Justice Arcana so I'd put my money on Justice.

I assumed that Goro has the power of the Wild Card since he was able to summon multiple persona. Loki is just his original fool persona like Arsene, Orpheus, Izanagi, etc.

I don't think Wild Card means you are necessarily aligned as The Fool at all. There's certainly been more people who could summon anything that weren't Fool than there have been that are.

'Goro's a little doofus who can probably only barely summon a couple personas of a matching, compatible arcana and gets his poo poo pushed in by someone with real power' is my own interpretation I guess.

My guess would be that from his perspective he's The Fool, and started with Loki. His only meaningful link is with Joker, who appeared as Justice to him, and gave him Robin Hood.

They have the power of the Wild Card and have no idea how to utilize it because they're so socially dysfunctional. Apparently "Igor" really sucked at explaining the Velvet Room to Akechi? Or Akechi's charismatic facade and attempts at hanging out with Sae are how he is trying to create social bonds and completely failing at it.

Akechi's a shitwrecker even by the own team's confession, though. Guy's basically been effortlessly soloing dungeons that take the Thieves multiple days, full teams and cup after cup of delicious coffee to conquer. Though I'm not sure where the "his fate is ambiguous" talk is coming from. Guy's clearly dead as hell after his encounter in the engine room.

It's less of "Igor" explaining it poorly and more of he gave it to somebody who clearly wasn't capable of forming strong bonds with others to see what would happen if that person would face off against his opposite, someone who has formed strong bonds with others. Which is why Akechi only has 2 Persona and we've been through like, 40 by that point. Akechi's warped psyche clearly has its benefits but it just ain't good enough against good ol' Friendship Power
