Best advice I was ever given?

We can't do anything compared to the game's active attempts at thwarting you.
I hope you like Mario RPG style mini games except horribly tedious and also the entire move fails if you mess up one of the 20 inputs required.

Ok now that's a bit rude to Sonic. I may have misremembered the length of the attacks and oversold them a little. Here's a gameplay bit from an old playthrough that went down here.
But drat if it isn't harsh on the ears.

actually the way to make ff15 more stable is to give yourself a couple dozen gigabytes of virtual memory. read about how to allocate HD space to pagefile

So is FeMC in Persona 3 really this fun and charismatic, or is this just something where Persona Q2 is taking artistic license? Because holy gently caress she's awesome and I never had the urge to actually play through P3P until now, but if she's just a generic silent protag in game, i'm gonna be pissed and mad that I let the game ruin her for me.

she's a silent protag who has moderately more colorful and funny dialog options than the male mc. at the very least compared to the male mc she actually has lines that make her feel like she's friends with people

tho a lot of why she's better in p3p is more cause she avoids some of its worst s links, no fat cult kid or kid who wants to gently caress his tutor

it's the latter. pretty much all the persona protagonists are really dull silent ciphers who will at most sometimes emote concern if they're the main character of the given game. major exception is maya who remains perky and fun after being passed the mc curse.

idk i don't think maya survived the transition either because she's still. an awkwardly silent character. and it works even worse than anyone else because so much of what defines her in innocent sin is the way she talks

swapping speaking roles between her and tatsuya is the dullest thing they could've ever possibly done and i really hate that about ep

That's a bummer. In PQ2 I think the closest way I can think of to describe her like a female Vyse from Skies in terms of her upbeatness and can do spirit. I enjoy this game a lot more than I thought I would, but she's the real star and steals the show anytime she's on screen.

Edit: don't forget the absolute best song from the soundtrack for anyone who'll never play the game.

To be fair, the Persona 4 anime took the route of having the main character just slam-pick all the stupid/funny dialogue options from the game.

tatsuya works alright as a silent protag because he's basically just this awkward quiet dude when voiced anyways, but maya becoming silent in ep was always a kinda confusing choice, imo.

She loses points earned for avoiding the bad S. Links from the original with Ken, kinda.

Though, I think I'm one of the few people that didn't like how she was done in general.

the beach scene where you and junpei go hitting on women and the joke is that one of them... isn't a woman!?! and then says "i almost got myself a boy toy"

even if it isn't strictly transphobia it's uh. impossible to read it in any way that doesn't suck

At the beach, during operation babe hunt, the boys keep getting shot down by anyone they try to talk to. Then they meet an, I believe slightly older woman, who's fine with their advances and plays along. Someone points out she has an adam's apple or facial hair or something, and then everyone runs away. I think. It's been awhile.

I've have Blue Reflection on my steam wishlist for a while now. Is the current sale ($24) a decent pricepoint for it, or is too bad of a game even for that?

It's mostly running around the high school seeing character events. Every chapter a new girl is introduced and eventually their problems get so bad they have a mental breakdown that opens up a dungeon. The dungeon portions only serve to advance the plot by having to destroy a certain number of monsters or collect items while avoiding monsters. All leveling up is through earning skill points completing the main story line, helping NPCs, or seeing character events. Basically a playable magical girl anime. The only real challenge comes from super bosses that show up every 3 chapters (enough so that each of the 3 magical girls can have a partner assigned from their new friends.) They had an interesting concept but just ran out of dev time to really polish it.

I paid 35 and got enjoyment out of it.
