When i watched the trailer on my phone i thought the doctor guy with Ann was Joker and the new feature was you disguised yourself as a doctor and asked the girls creepy medical questions.

I can't wait to watch a LP of this when it comes out because i'm sure as hell not wasting another 150 hours to play through it again.

Haru getting some sort of earlier plot beats. They had to have Naoto show up occasionally in P4 to give her eventually party joining a little more back ground. Haru shows up so late she doesn't get enough focus.

One way they could introduce her earlier is to start her social link around the third dungeon (maybe Makoto ropes you into helping out one of her classmates, and that's how they introduce her).

Then they could have her social link stall out around Rank 3 (like they did with Sojiro) until she joins you and you finish the fifth palace. They might have to rewrite it a bit to account for a certain development after that palace, but that should be doable. Doing her link early would just grant you benefits with her garden; things like Baton Pass wouldn't unlock until she actually joins. This would also have the quality-of-life side benefit of letting you use Baton Pass with her in the palace.

If Persona 5 S turns put to be a Switch port of the base game, then that'd be the dumbest thing. An objectively superior version of the game being announced right next to a lesser version?

The people who only have a PS4 should be so mad if they get shafted like that.

I'd like it if Atlus stopped locking combat maneuvers behind social links in general. It was novel the first time but now it's worn out it's welcome.

I like the idea of all the Confidants having like gameplay effects, but it leads to several just not being worthwhile at all to pursue. Like, Iwai, Chihaya, and Ohya are all just kinda useless.

Chiaya is amazing though? Maybe not to Rank 10, can't recall everything she gave you, but her main thing is basically free Confidant points.

he has a very good reason but it doesn't make that sequence any more tolerable

i'm no fan of teddie but at least he had the grace to get his existential crisis over with in the span of one bossfight

Yeah Chihaya is one of the best confidants in the whole game.

Ohya though is 100% worthless

Ohya increases your ability to be stylish as hell in a fight, which I think we can all agree is the main draw of P5.

Random question, but do you get the 'special' Christmas scene if you've dated just two or three girls or does it need to be everyone available? I just realised I never saw it in my last playthrough and I'm not sure why.

I'm really hoping that P5R changes a lot of the bad and wonky writing from P5, including the awful gay duo, but I'm kinda scared of getting my hopes up... :ohdear:

Also human Morgana is both adorable and filling me with unease!

I saved her for last and was about 5 days short of maxing everyone as a result. If I'd got her first I think I would have got max links with time to spare.

I followed a day-by-day guide for the first like month and a half of the game, but then I figured I could handle it from there and except for like, two problem links, I had everyone else maxed out with a full month to spare

Oh god this reminds me, gently caress P5R actually, when the game first came out I was talking about how rad Hifumi was and my friend told me she was originally planned to be a party member but they cut it and I was mad about that, but now they added a party member that isn't Hifumi? Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan come on

RIGHT?? I'm mad on balance about that

IIRC, Hifumi was based off a character design for a party member in the really early stages. They just ended up repurposing that design for another Confidant.

There's something hilarious about P5R being all "well last time we couldn't think of a personality for Haru or anything for Ann to do after dungeon 2 that wasn't be sexually harassed, and now that we have a second pass to change that here's another girl instead."

RazzleDazzleHour
Mar 31, 2016

There's actually very few party members I like more than Hifumi, the list might just be Makoto and Futaba? Haru is close because she has a cool axe and grenade launcher, but if Hifumi had those same weapons I'd rather have her, she's VERY rad. I was going to say you could easily just relegate Ann or Yusuke or Haru to a confidant and have the game not be affected almost at all, but then I realized how sad that statement is considering that's half of the game's party members.

...would the game even be that much different if the party was just MC/Futaba/Makoto/Ryuji? MAYBE Morgana?

Yeah turning her into a party member like she was meant to be would mean altering Makoto since that idea of a strategist character got folded into her.

Though some people might think that's not a bad idea.

I just hope that the extra content means we get more Haru. I really like her but she joins so late there isn't much interaction.
