Half the party's confidants have big importance on their relationship with a friend. Makoto's is just not super interesting although there are some good scenes in it that I like a bunch.

You are allowed to judge books by their covers if you are smart and beautiful and great like Makoto, who I coincidentally judged to be all those things upon first meeting her so checkmate atheists

Okay, I just meant that there was way more of a focus on her friend than there was in other confidants (although I actually never got super far in any of the other party member ones so it might be different there). Don't need to be so rude.

CharlestheHammer posted:What? What change occurs? Learning to connect with other people. Like Makoto's entire thing is an almost crippling social isolation from people her age because she spent so much time trying to be perfect for his sister/people in authority. It even carries over to the thieves where she doesn't really interact with most of them as equals, but as an older sister/mentor figure. Her forming an actual, no-bullshit friendship with someone in her grade is pretty important and helps reinforce the whole 'make your own path' part of her character and motivation.

It's kind of redundant to say people's stories focus around other people seeing that basically everyone in the story is some sort of social outcast that uses the SLs to come to terms with their ostracization. So by nature they are going to be focusing on adapting with other people.

Moltrey posted:[looks over both shoulders and gets real close to the mic] im worried makoto will become the chie of P5 where she's insanely popular now but who gives a poo poo in like six years cause there's the realization she may be a bit weak a character Makoto's helped a bit by having a really big role in the main story. Her social link is fairly weak though. I liked it more than some people did but it's not one of the better party social links. Chie doesn't really get the development or main story spotlight that Makoto does so I think her popularity will hold up a bit better. Harrow fucked around with this message at 04:54 on May 16, 2017 |

getting your joke cut off cause you couldn't type it fast enough is a universal experience. I love when Goro joins the group chat cause Futaba just doms him the entire time and Goro's very sincere about it. "Man, you don't know anything, you're useless" "Well, I think that's a bit harsh" "Aww, you're making me blush"

Arist posted:SHE HAVE FRIEND, ARC OVER is some pretty basic-rear end misunderstanding of character, dude I didn't say the arc was over but that part was, it then transitions into a part that is completely contradictory to the message of the rest of the game. It's okay understanding fiction is sometimes quite hard. Also calling it an arc is rather generous, it's more a really long check mark.

How long until they announce Persona 5-2: Now we're the adults but adults still suck? I want to run mementos to pay rent each month and plan my wedding with Makoto as Sae looms over our whole relationship.

The marriage convo is the best if you go with "It's a secret" to everyone.

You need max Charm just to hit rank 6 with Makoto? Seriously? Yo Prez... I like your fashion sense, and your cool motorcycle Persona which is also a medieval pope... but I got poo poo to do. Also looking forward to finding out which party member is a secret axe murderer since apparently I can transform this mythical beast into a tomahawk if I execute it in the electric chair. Video games are weird.

Sarchasm posted:At the end of Haru's S Link when she says "Hey it's funny that guy thought we were a couple, huh?" and you can say either "We should gently caress" or "We should just be friends" I secretly wanted a third option that said "I really don't even like you as a human being but I'm going to keep hanging out with you because One Shot Kill is really breaking the game for me right now." Such rudeness. Makoto's S.Link should have been about her channeling her previously-repressed anger in rebellion against the world. Instead we learn she wants to not only be a cop but the top cop. She's cool but with hindsight and the whole story I probably would have dated someone else Rangpur posted:You need max Charm just to hit rank 6 with Makoto? Seriously?

Proficiency is less of an issue because once you don't have to go out of your way nearly as often to build it up, especially once you have access to Temperance and Fortune. Besides doesn't the confidant who requires it show up in... October, I think?

I grinded Charm activities early just for Makoto, and I think that inefficiency prevented me from completing all Confidants. Another negative. I know there are people that are like, "I didn't follow a guide or anything and I still had four weeks to play video games" but it didn't work out like that for me

P5 really wants you to spend your time with everyone evenly and not focus all your time on just a few confidants before moving to others. Luckily that's what I was doing but even then you meet some block's ridiculously early and it sucks.

I had like 2 Proficiency when the 5 Proficiency gate showed up in the late game, and still managed to max out that character. It goes up pretty fast if you try to focus on it.

Luckily that's what I was doing but even then you meet some block's ridiculously early and it sucks. This is also annoying because having too many simultaneous confidants in progress means having to juggle personas a lot until you get all 12 slots unlocked, which costs money and is a hassle the first time through.

Since the airsoft guns become real guns in the Metaverse, I like to think that when Joker is slaving away over lockpicks he ends up with a piece of paper that says "lockpick" on.
