Is there a list of which song comes with which theme? That is, not the names of the songs but when those songs play? Poetic names are lovely but I have no idea what some of them are referring to.
I think Joker's has an instrumental Beneath The Mask
Ryuji, Goro and I thiiiink Haru have the title theme
Yusuke has daytime town theme
I assume the Velvet Room theme has the Velvet Room theme

I'm really digging how things are happening on Christmas Eve.


Just Joker rolling up to his crew giving them a peptalk and getting everyone ready to murder a god. Reminds me of the end of Gurren Lagann when everyone breaks out of the dream to beat the poo poo out of the biggest giant robot.

I'm finding this game to be the "Witcher 3" for jrpgs. It's so stylish and dripping with creativity and thought it's making it hard to play other games, even Persona 4G.

Oy. The 7th palace is brutal. Just making your way through the drat thing takes forever, and then you hit the 4 sub-bosses-in-a-row encounter. I burned my Soma in the last part, and regret nothing, because there's no way I want to repeat that sequence. Even switching between Trumpeter and Thor, it got pretty hairy towards the end. Max rank Futaba and Haru get MVP for how often they saved my rear end.

Tower - Rank 9
Priestess - Rank 8
Emperor - Rank 9
Hanged - Rank 7
Empress - Rank 1
Whatever new ones pop up after this point?

I was able to max my last stat the day before the twist. :v:

Also, I'm going for harem mode (as is customary on a first playthrough), and I was wondering if there are any super heartbreaking scenes like the one Valentine's Day scene with Naoto in P4.

I think there's no new confidants now. There's no heartbreaking scenes (IMHO) but there is a unique scene.

It's gonna be by the skin of your teeth. They're mostly daytime and I believe Hanged Man has a mementos request still.

I wanted Akechi there so he and MC could stare at each other. Then Akechi, having previously bared his heart to Akira, attempts to talk and reconcile.

Then Akira leaves him there to die.

Helpfully, Empress levels up extremely quickly, like Mitsuru from P3. You could conceivably do it, but it'll be close..

I think you should be fine. That looks like where I was when I started December. I think the only one you'll need Fortune to boost is Hanged Man. Empress gives you a ton of bonus notes probably because she joins so late.

No. We all know Akechi won top character in the popularity poll so that means he gets a True Ending in the remake. It'll include actual SL events where we go to various cute/stylish restaurants together and biking on holidays. Basically, Akechi is our BF and we support him going to therapy/medical treatment.

Was that when he got it? Because he's apparently 17 in the game and his first reaction is murder.

Gonna go ahead and call him a baddie.

Edit: Making me fight three different boss fights before sacrificing himself is redemption? I interpreted it as him knowing he was gonna die one way or the other and wouldn't let me get the final blow. Only the great Goro Akechi was good enough to take down Goro Akechi.

It doesn't matter how poo poo your life is murder is pretty frowned on.

He was in no way 'partially redeemed'. His last act is to commit suicide by cop rather than accept help from the party after he ambushes and tries to murder them.

He doesn't even do anything to help them take out Shido

I posted quite a few paragraphs wrt Akechi's sad life in the spoilers thread :effort:

Odds were always against him along w/evil god who hates humans who pit him against humanity's hope for entertainment. Akechi didn't start out this way and the parallels w/Joker could've been more developed but the remake is on it's way.

He's not dead? Akechi is in no way in a stable mental state to take down Shido even if he re-joined the party. I can see him rejoining but not so he can take down the final boss. I hated the gate moment too because it was dumb along w/his final confident comments.

Well he is "dead", that kinda makes it difficult. He's not redeemed or anything but he forces the gang to escape and that combined with the conversation beforehand makes it pretty clear the guy realised he was wrong and the Phantom Thieves are the heroes here.

Akechi is that kid who has a lovely life and shoots up a school. Only substitute shooting with murdering people's hearts and a school with whoever his daddy doesn't like.

I hope they do the same thing they did with Adachi and give him a more robust s. link so I can hate him more
