RareAcumen posted:Yeah, once you get to rank 10 with someone you should be able to hang out with them for free and get a cool scene out of it too. And it shouldn't take any time either. Yeah, that'd make a lot more sense, wouldn't it? Have it be a reward for reaching rank 10. You spend more time with the people you're closest to.

They don't have to show up every time you try to hang out with someone but it'd be nice if they did occasionally. GeneX posted:the protagonist wasn't exactly against ann getting naked for yusuke's blackmail attempt, but aside from that and a few instances of him staring at her chest in the anime bits, he's mostly been good  Yeah, that's about what I expected. Well considering the normal lows the game can sink to, that's pretty good.

A couple of times during the game, Mishima will ask you to hang out in the weekends. Those are usually double link interactions. Arist hasn't been showing them off since they're mostly useless as far as ranking up goes

Haifisch posted:Especially in P5, where I feel like the 'unlock a bunch of spots to hang out with s-links' system is kind of wasted. There's a lot of cool scenes you can get, but they can only happen when you hang out when you're not ready to rank up, so you might never see them for a given character, or only get one or two.

gmq posted:Wow, I think that was the most negative post in the entire LP. Who hurt you on Valentine's Day, Arist? Part of me wanted to let most of this one go uncommented, but also we're so close to the finish line and I want to end strong, not just dump out the last few updates with almost no commentary. Also I just found way more opportunities for stupid wisecracks than I expected.

Besides Ryuji and Kawakami, I think the only double Confidant events we saw were Mishima and Shinya at Dome Town and Makoto and Hifumi at Jinbocho.

lol ok e: I mean, on the one hand, I've collectively spent hundreds of hours over two years painstakingly recording footage, taking pictures, transcribing tens of thousands of words, and writing dumb goofs, so yeah, I put in a small bit of effort here. Truth be told though, I don't really devote that much time to trying to come up with jokes, because the more time I spend in one the more forced it feels, and a lot of the time if I don't like a joke I tend to cut it outright. You're really overestimating the amount of time I spent writing that one. Calling something "tryhard" in the loving Let's Play subforum is a new level of  though, that's certainly new

Here's a LONG video featuring all the Valentine's dates. They're mostly similar - "I hope you like the chocolates since I got them special for you, here's what I was doing when you were in jail, it'll suck having a long-distance relationship but we'll make it work, let's have a romantic evening together." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrNAztBTANk And here's what happens if you romance ALL the romanceable characters and ditch them on Valentine's. I highly recommend you watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UWVxw53Gaw

Honestly surprised Deceitful Penguin picked now to accuse you of being a tryhard and not one of the gimmick updates from the dungeons. Maybe he realized he was running out of chances to get a low-effort potshot in.

I'm a bit annoyed that Futaba's Valentine's day conversation mentions Kana, and Makoto's conversation elliptically references her social link ... but that Ann's doesn't mention Shiho at all. Ah well.

Well if everyone doesn't go back to being friends they'd have to rewrite the whole game to accommodate all the named women in the game minus Sae hating you.

Were they all just ignoring each other politely, was the metaverse's last miracle to make them not see each other, just... what. Lazy programming due to the development time crunch, probably. It looks like they wrote a one-size-fits-all scene for two-timing each romance option, then just added them all together for multiple rejection cases. The easiest fix would be having each person enter the shop, say their piece, and exit, one after another; it would feel repetitive (like reading all the "hey, let's meet up" messages at once does), but would at least make more sense than a complete lack of reaction to the presence of the other people Joker is triple-plus-timing. Also, the fact that the "blow everyone off to hang out with Ryuji" option doesn't seem to be any different from the regular "decline one invitation in favor of another" option is kinda disappointing. I feel like you could wring some comedy out of that one.

Sorry guys, I tried but I couldn't get the update done today. Kind of a bummer because I wanted to be finished tomorrow, but there's nothing I can really do about it. I did some work on it but I got very distracted and put it off for too long and then I looked at how much I had left and got intimidated and avoided it some more. So, uh, sorry I, after like two straight weeks of daily updates that took up time I definitely could have used to do things more important and/or more fun than creating free entertainment for the internet, could not keep it up until the end.  Deceitful Penguin posted:Weirdly long rant about anime step dad just came outta nowhere and read like one of those bad Tumblr Screencaps. If writing several weird paragraphs outta nowhere ain't tryhard I don't know what to call it Okay man, if you're gonna swoop in and throw out pithy, harsh-but-not-actually-incisive-at-all comments like this, they should at the very least be comprehensible and track with what I actually wrote. I've written considerably longer bits in this LP about stupid pointless voice actor trivia, my dude. Arist posted:The first time I brought a girl over here in even a platonic capacity you asked if she had a boyfriend and stared at her rear end, you old lech. The less you know about my love life, the better. And don’t ask how I found out about that poo poo with Ann when I wasn’t in the room, okay? I have the power of clairvoyance, but it usually only shows me occasional minor plot-relevant scenes featuring people getting up to or becoming the victims of nefarious bullshit. Sometimes I know the people, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes they’re talking about me and my friends, sometimes they’re not. A lot of the time, it just showed me the same one dude, but I can’t figure out why because he was just kind of a one-note rear end in a top hat barfing out waves of mostly pointless expository blather that there was probably a much less artificial and labored way to communicate, but he’s dead now so whatever. This is the entire segment you seem to find so objectionable for some reason, and there's maybe one sentence of it that "attacks" Sojiro even facetiously. The rest are just jokes about the weird, usually-pointless scenes with the SIU Director that leave our perspective or me making another gag about Haru being a murderer. You're allowed to criticize me. That isn't the issue, and I try to keep my posts in this thread pretty chill besides. But I legitimately don't understand your grievance here. Hell, I'm not totally sure I see what the issue even would have been if your description was accurate.

Yo Arist, this entire thread has been a wild ride, and it's been my first actual exposure into Persona (though I've dabbled in some SMT) It's been good, and I respect the crunch to try and get this finished, especially at this time of year. It's hard to believe it's actually been this long, holy hell. I'm pretty sure I started following this LP from a different site but registered to follow it here, as well as DarkIDs Nier Automata thread. Before this I was just binging stuff on Baldurk's archive, for the last decade or more. This has definitely been one of my favorite LPs So thanks a lot, my dude.

The scene also requires Sojiro to ignore you cheating on Futaba, even though he's very protective of her throughout the rest of the game.  But I still like it because of that gag with Ryuji. Sure, Ryuji, your mom's chocolate counts

Everything about the game inventing a way for you to get away with doing a reprehensible thing so nothing about the status quo changes is loving weird, I'm with you there.
