Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

There's also Splatoon 2 this summer and apparently Xenoblade 2 is set for this year, somehow.

Are you referring to Ryuji not being able to shut up about phantom thieves and accidentally letting Makoto in on it or Ryuji being a shithead to Morgana enough to make him run off?

Definitely the latter, because that entire plot beat is the worst. The former is actually kinda funny though.

And if you're into fighting games like me, Injustice 2 this month, Tekken 7 soon as well.

As lovely as everything else has been, at least the games are good lately.

I wonder if there'll be a Persona 5 Arena and, if so, how they'll handle Morgana. He's just so small.

It truly cannot be understated how much this year has kicked rear end for video games. Like I love Persona 5 but man it's totally possible it won't even make my Top 10 list come December, it's wild this year

Guys I really liked Persona 5, what else is good in the JRPG front (same happy go-lucky free-formness,) on the PS4?

Or should I post this in the PS4 thread.

I dunno if it really counts as a JRPG in all the technical sense ways, but play Yakuza 0.

I don't play the series but "free-form" and "happy go lucky" sounds like the Atelier games to me! Pretty sure they just had a game come out in February or March or so.

I'm partial to Nier Automata but it's the farthest thing imaginable from "happy go lucky." Great game though and probably my personal GOTY so far.

The conditions for getting those to trigger are weird, though. I got to hang out with Makoto despite being at just rank 5 with her.

Maybe Ryuji makes up for hanging with Mishima? Although I guess it could also work the other way around.

this interaction was loving perfect, Futaba killed it. Mishima is so stoked to talk to a Nerd Girl and Futaba just calls him the wrong name twice, insults him for using -chan speak and says he has no interesting qualities.

Felt like I witnessed a justifiable murder after that scene, savage indeed

That was a great scene. Loved that you could pick Savage Guy got destroyed.

I'm at the part in Persona 4 Golden where Yosuke is trying to get me to ride a vespa to get laid.

1. Good luck getting laid if you're driving a vespa
2. Well done to Atlus for writing a dude who has a -100% chance in ever getting a girlfriend in Yosuke.

The dialogue choice from the night before might be a factor in who you wanna hang out with. For Ann and Kawakami, you do need to be dating them if you wanna hang oht with them. Makoto and Hifumi are a little more lenient about that.

Hifumi can't even be dated at that point due to how late you can do her Mementos request. I tried it in my NG+ and you only have one night to hang out after clearing the request at the earliest possible date, which only takes you to rank 8.

Speaking of, I tried hanging out with Makoto both while dating her and not, and couldn't really tell the difference between them, whereas Ann referenced you two dating (which probably isn't strange if you have to date her to even hang out). It was frankly a bit disappointing that Makoto's seemed the same regardless.

As far as I can tell, the only unique dates you get with Makoto when you're actually dating her are the ferris wheel and destinyland. Everything else was probably made identical, save for Seaside Park, which is a different scene entirely, to save on time because most people probably aren't going to see all of the date spots.

Given Inaba's a lovely little rear end-end-of-nowhere hick town, any means of transportation is probably a non-zero chance of picking up a girl. Even a Vespa, though only barely.

Mishima, by a loving mile. Yosuke and Ryuji can at least talk to girls without the girls quietly pitying them and wanting to get the hell away ASAP.

I had enough time to try and hang out with Hifumi for like an extra week to see if I could take her anywhere, play every video game and do enough training both at home and the gym to make any further gains negligible. You get plenty of time.
