Alacron posted:If a remake tries to include an Akechi redemption arc then I am 100% done with this franchise, gently caress Akechi. Honestly, the Persona villain "redemption" arc I'd be most interested in is is teaming up with rear end in a top hat Adachi for some reason. It wouldn't really be a redemption story, at the end of the adventure he still goes back to jail, you just have to work with him for a while and he's a bitter sarcastic jerk about everything the whole time. Basically what happened in the Persona Arena DLC, but more.

The next episode preview makes it look like they're going to timeskip so that the later party members get screen time. Also the OP makes some things blatantly obvious.

FractalSandwich posted:Individually and collectively, people have a strong aversion to changes to their status quo, and don't reliably change their beliefs even when they're proven wrong. That's not a cultural issue. That's a human issue. Japan is just really, really bad about it. Look at the Abe government, for example. The problem Japan has with the status quo is one of the major themes of P5, even.

Out of curiosity, are any of the Persona series/movie(s?) worth a watch? I've only played 5 but I plan on playing 3 and 4 eventually, I don't mind spoilers though.

I’m up to Palace 7 and feel I’ve been pretty thorough throughout the game, but the average levelling stat is 10 levels above me. Things are quite easy as they are, but I’m curious whether Mementos grinding is the norm or if there’s some relationship skill I missed. I maxxed out Mishima.

Watch Persona 4: The Animation after you've played the game, I recommend the English dub since the jokes will land easier if you're an English speaker. It doesn't recreate the game but it is very very funny.

I did it, finally beat the game. P5 is a very, I want to say /even/ RPG. There's no part of the game I can point to as a major down point where I wasn't having any fun and just wanted it over with. Equally whilst the ending was consistent with that feeling, I feel like the story went on maybe a dungeon too long. In the end, defeating Shido felt more climactic than the actual end. I never really felt any personal stake in "Evil magic grail" controls humanity, especially with the Igor heel turn and subsequent explanation coming almost out of nowhere. Additionally I feel like, despite being an important part of gameplay, Confidant ratings handicap the game's ability to create a resonant story arc between main characters. Since so much development is there, a lot of the rest is just shorn away from the main game, which through the necessity of being more direct would likely have more impact. It was great fun, worth my time, but of the two big 2017 JRPGs I played, I /probably/ liked Xenoblade Chronicles 2 more, despite being much more uneven. I think I was more in love with the characters by the end so the ending itself was better for me.

Just finished Persona 4 Golden. God drat that ending took forever, game felt like it was gonna end like 4 times. Overall I think I liked 5 more but 4 has a lot of stronger individual moments, and the party seems to be more fleshed out overall. I also liked the stuff with Marie (including the cool remix of the boss theme) but I can understand why folks don't. The tsundere poo poo can grate on your nerves. I'm glad I decided to play through it, game was a fun ride. I guess now all that's left is to wait for Persona 6, if that's ever a thing. I've seen bits of P4 The Animation on YouTube and I might try to track down the whole thing, it seems pretty funny. It's a bit weird to see the MC with a personality since unlike Joker he didn't seem to really have a pre-established one in the game.

I'm still hoping that one day the Persona series will ditch the silent protagonist thing and let you play a regular, talking one. Compared to P4/P4G, I vastly preferred Yu as the talking protagonist he was in P4 Arena and P4: DAN. He didn't have a strong personality, but they managed to portray him well as a person who doesn't make much of himself most of the time, but steps up when needed.

Natural 20 posted:I did it, finally beat the game. I agree about the ending all the way down to it should've ended one dungeon earlier. The thing that really bugged me was that I kinda liked the bad end where you take Fake Igor's deal better than the true end. They build it up like by freeing the collective consciousness of the nation you'll be saving them but after it's all over... nothing seems to have changed? I guess Shido doesn't get elected (or at least doesn't take office? I was a little unclear on that election situation) but we already dealt with him. They seem to be implying and in that one mid-fight cutscene explicitly saying that beating the grail/god will cause people to wake up and see the world around them, that there'll be a change to the status quo, that you're changing the hearts of everybody; but you still get tossed in juvenile hall for your troubles and have shady government agents tailing you at the end. You never see or hear over the TV/radio about any of the great things you may have caused. The bad end on the other hand implies you keep your superpowers and continue going and righting wrongs. How am I supposed to feel this is the bad choice? Either way I do agree that Shido should've been the end but I guess they felt the need to make the final boss more "epic".

You're doing it alone - there's no mention of any of the other Phantom Thieves (since if you recall, they're holed up in the Velvet Room). So you're literally abandoning your friends to chase a hero dream.

The last little bit of P5 feels like they wanted to do the true ending thing of Persona 4 again, but decided to weave it into the main plot through the fake Igor and oops we have to make it mandatory now.

Is there a separate Catherine thread or can we talk about the new remastered Catherine game here? Because I have a lot of mixed feelings about the new date-able girl Rin, who is most likely a transwoman. On the one hand, I'm always up for more LGBT representation in games, on the other hand the first Catherine was kind of awful in the way it portrayed women and gender roles in general so I'm a little afraid of what they'll do with her?

Well tbf though, the only reason the news even knew there were multiple PTs was because of calling cards saying so. So even if the others are trapped in the Velvet Room or wherever, as long as Joker kept sending out calling cards saying there were multiple thieves, no one can call it a lie or anything.
