It was 4:19 here, which leads me to believe it's EVEN LATER elsewhere in the world. It's unequivocally bed time.

We can compromise and say the MC does not have to date all the female SL and they should be platonic like Sae. So that'd make 3/9 undateable which is fair because I can't date boys either. I suggest we cut out Ohya, Fortuneteller, and whoever the last person who ranked lowest in the poll.

There have been female S. Links you couldn't date in previous Persona games. This one's just weird in that it's the first time you actually can date the older women. I wouldn't be too surprised if that doesn't happen again anyway.

Man, I sure am glad I caught that Doraemon movie since it was apparently the last piece of knowledge in the world I needed to have ALL the knowledge. Not quite as good as becoming debonair by stuffing a giant burger down my throat, but still pretty funny.

At this point, all I need is Guts but I've already started dating the plague doctor. Guess I finally have an excuse to try the batting cages.

Persona 6 needs alternate lines for people you link with.

Something a friend of mine pointed out is that the characters in the game can't really evolve through it anymore. Persona 3 has characters grow a whole lot throughout the game, which leads to their personas ascending once they reach the point where they are able to overcome their struggles. Akihiko has that moment at Shinji's memorial and obtains Caesar. Akihiko is never written the same past that point, he's totally different and more mature. Then Ken is confronted by Akihiko in that alley after he runs away, and their discussion allows Ken to deal with what happened and move forward without looking back. Time after time, the characters overcome what's been holding them back, their personas ascend, and their characters are never written the same again. It's real good.

Persona 4 and Persona 5 have these issues dealt with in their Social Links, which are optional. So the plot isn't really allowed to take that growth into account because the player may not have even done it. It'd be nice if they had some alternate lines (or even little extra scenes and conversations) that play out in the main story if you've done it. Weave that poo poo back into the narrative. You can do it with NPCs too, at least the ones that cross your path naturally (like your homeroom teacher). It'd be very cool.

I would like this but I imagine it'd add a ton of work on Atlus and will never happen along with FeMC unless they build it from the ground up.

Honestly, Persona 5 has way less emphasis on putting all the party's development in their confidant's for the most part. Like, Ryuji and Makoto get just about as much development if not more in the main story than in their links, and the other characters still get a couple of scenes of focus as well. It can still be done better, sure. But I think P5 was a step in the right direction.

They should definitely do it with the npcs though, because the confidant story disconnect with Mishima is huge and really makes him sorta a bad character.

Mishima is bad regardless if we added more SL events. Floral pants man is the hero we deserve.

Ryuji's post-Palace 7 scene was amazing because he went from a cowed and crippled ex-track star to a guy who sprints up a near-vertical incline in the name of friendship.

Actually characters in P5 do get development in the plot, as a team.

They learn from their mistakes and give back better than they take.

I'll say. In a sense, it's mainly because Ryuji really doesn't hide anything. His emotions, what he feels and what he's thinking is super obviously written on his face.

And of course, he's loud.

October/November Palace 6 Mechanics Question:

I just finished the school festival and Akechi is joining the squad. I assume this is the one that catches up to the interrogation. Should I wait until last day possible to do this one or am I okay to blast it out of the way early?

You won't have a choice with this one. The plot railroads you into taking the Treasure on the last day possible.

The next level is a motorcycle transformer. It doesn't ever go back to motorcycle but it looks swanky. It does however lose the Ghost Pope aspect.
