Arist posted:Nobody ever figured it out and I just remembered I asked people to guess forever ago so the link between Ryuji's Personas is literally just that they're both references to insanely popular manga. That's it. gently caress, now that you mention that, I just made the connection. Captain Kidd being a pirate links it to One Piece, and Sun Wukong was the original basis for Goku's character in Dragonball...

See, I LIKE seeing Hecate in Persona here, what I am not a fan of is the design. I know Persona and SMT are about as far apart from each other as designs go (though some do intersect, like Pixie, Slime, Loki, the Jack Bros, etc) but I'm more partial (and used to) her more well known classic three-headed Lion-Dog-Horse design. Also she's (somehow) on top of Magic, Ghosts, Witchcraft, etc. A goddess of Childbirth and nurturing the young. Which makes both designs a bit offputing considering how sexualized both of them are.

Huh. Interesting. So we're not assembling a team of legendary tricksters as much as we are a team of legendary traitors?

Who's going to be in PQ2? All three modern persona games or only 4&5? Also  Akechi is there. I assume they didn't want to spoil he's the traitor.Anyway, I hope they mesh the Etrian/Persona battle mechanics somewhat better this time with better encounter and enemy design. And better balance because Ailment Boost was already insane back in EO4 when it capped at 15% mainclass (10% subclass) so Impure Reach at 30% was simply stupid.

That's going to make PQ-2 funny if Akechi being a traitor comes up. It probably won't, though.

Q had a subplot on both sides about Ken working past his drive for revenge (amazing what interacting with actual empathetic people can accomplish). Even if they don't ever put into words "Akechi is an evil traitor," they're sure to do something with it. MightyPretenders fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Oct 21, 2018 |

Kanji talks Ken out of getting Shinjiro killed (again) and also convinces Goro not to be a traitor.

It may be too late to talk him out of being the traitor as he has already clearly chosen what side he is on before he joins the party.

Yeah, Akechi has already killed a number of people by the time he joins the party. Particularly Haru's dad.

Presumably the train/bus driver in the opening sequences to. Plus whatever other mental shut downs happened. He's just been murdering a lot of people for a while

Calling it now: it didn't only because Akechi isn't actually bad, he just has a vision and is doing bad things for good reasons, it's morally grey, both sides blah blah blah

Akechi probably has at this point a triple-digit body count. The "let's talk about how evil we are!" conversation implied Shido more or less made it to his current position by climbing the bodies Akechi was piling up with his mental shutdowns. On top of that are the requests by Okumura, the other people who were in Shido's circle like the SIU Director who were presumably also making requests, and the subway incidents. Akechi is a bonafide mass murderer; I'm not sure how the game could walk that back without caving in on itself.

Akechi probably just bounced over to Mementos and capped them. So if anything he's hearing the Mementos theme in his dreams. Which, honestly, is kind of a valid excuse for going crazy and murdering a lot of people.

Ultimax sort of did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goxEqLDspOA He quickly decides the guy who broke him out of jail - which he did not want by the way - is an edgelord who's never actually killed anyone before, and decides to make sure he doesn't cross that line.

The game played it up as a palace only appearing if you had a seriously distorted cognition.

It's also possible that Akechi goes into Momentos and shoots the Shadow of his target dead as opposed to what #Millennials do which is just beat them up.
