Yeah exam weeks are still gonna be ridiculously short but if they're doing the whole week at least they'll have something to cap it off like the fireworks festival.

Man, Shadow Kanji is kicking my arse in P4 Golden. It was 2014 when I last played it but I don't remember him being this much of a roadblock, that multi hit melee attack he does just absolutely shreds Chie and Yukiko while they're enraged, once one person goes down it's just playing catchup until eventually I lose. Maybe I just need to go back down a few floors and kill a few more enemies, level up a bit.

Not at my PC right now but 20 or 21 I think? Didn't have much trouble climbing the floors and I'd listened to an entire podcast on the way so I felt like that should be good. It has been years like I said though. I probably do need to just grind a bit right?

edit: P5 Strikers spoilers below, thus spoiler tags Can’t believe they did Sophie’s true awakening in Strikers and didn’t have it say “I am thou, thou art AI”. I do love how her ”persona” is initially an object, and even when she fully realised her ego, Pandora is still most associated with the box - but is a person. Is that a parallel to Aigis? Palladion, her initial persona, is an object, and progresses I to the person Athena when Aigis conceives of herself as a person. Lunar Suite fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Apr 11, 2021 |

My best friend loved Persona 5R so much he beat the game in a month, and just started a NG+. I asked him if he thinks he may burn out and his response was “I failed to max out Ryuji’s confidant (wtf  ) and need to atone for my sins”I told him he should check out P4G but he hates playing games on PC.

I use PS Remote Play to play P5R on my PC because my room has AC and my gaming chair is more comfortable than my couch. Strikers being on PC makes it likely that will be my next game after this. anakha fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Apr 11, 2021 |

Is Naoto a boy's name in Japan, or is it unisex and Naoto was just presenting as a dude?

According to Wikipedia's categorization of the name (as well as every other time I've ever seen the name), it's straight-up a boy's name.

No idea about real life, but Naoto's shadow makes a remark about it being "a cool and manly name." However there's apparently a companion book that says her parents felt it was "fairly androgynous."

Finally beat Persona 5 Royal proper. Took me 140 damned hours. Not counting the time I dumped into the original version. Still, that added on palace was real good and all in all it was a great time. Like I said before, the highs were high, the lows were low, middles were creamy, and overall I am glad I managed to push myself to finally beat this fat bear of a game. So of course I immediately jumped into Persona 5 Strikers  Just some misc thoughts, up to infiltrating the first Jail proper: - Combat seems cool so far. - The nostaligia angle would have hit much better if...well, I hadn't literally just beat the previous game yesterday. - Oh come on I know they were made at the same time by separate teams but couldn't they get some of the Royal character portraits at least? - As someone who doesn't really care about the robot characters such as Aegis, Sophia is adorable. - Some of these line readings are amazing:  "Send it back" "What?"  "SEND THE EFFIN THING BACK!!"EDIT: One more thing -Seeing Yongen Jaya in 60 FPS and no anti aliasing is weird Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Apr 12, 2021 |

Also of note today: first time having Sojiro's curry I made some Leblanc Curry as part of wrapping up Persona 5 Strikers, so I had some leftovers (it's better the next day)  Also coincidentally enough, this was what Google Photos told me I ate 4 years ago... I wonder if the original game also inspired me to do it lol  Someone on Discord recommended that I also try to do whatever food is discussed on the given day... (Merciless difficulty: I can only make curry items in game if I make them in real life lol... a burger for every challenge?) CharlieFoxtrot fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Apr 12, 2021 |

Devil's advocate, presumably the interrogation was supposed to take place over a couple of hours, not 90, so she didn't have time to worry about what had happened months ago when she was in that much of a time crunch.

I do really like the idea that all the gameplay is being told over 90 hours of police interrogation. Joker just really wants to talk about every time he exploited enemy weaknesses, and how cool his cat said he was for about a third of them.

I mean, Sae definitely cares when she learns that Makoto was involved with some of this--it's one of the only times she loses her composure during the interrogation--but she also buckles down and focuses on the job at hand because at that point she's so focused on catching the Phantom Thieves and not losing her job that she has a whole Palace about it. She also makes a good choice by the end: of the two Niijima sisters, Sae's the one who decides to stop being a cop.

They should make a game where Sae goes around and defends police officers who have been thrown under the bus by their colleagues or superiors and at the end of each one the officer goes “well I’ve learned my lesson: no one should be a cop because they’re all so loving corrupt” Sae Nijima: Ace Attorney. And Joker can show up as her Maya Fey, a teenage assistant with supernatural abilities. Gen. Ripper posted:Friendly reminder that Sae gives zero shits when one of Makoto's teachers is outed as a serial sexual abuser, and when Joker tells her Kaneshiro almost forced her into sex trafficking. Ok I just made that post to poo poo on cops initially but I have a question about the logistics of the interrogation: All of the little cut-back scenes when you get a new confidant follow a pattern of Sae saying “hm you couldn’t have done this alone, you must have had help with *Thing*, who is helping you!?” and then the I Am Thou, Thou Art I stuff, but it’s implied that Joker doesn’t name names because he knows you don’t say a word without a lawyer present. (This leads to a potential bad ending at the one opportunity they give you to actually rat.) But there’s a scene during the Kaneshiro arc where it cuts back to Sae and she’s clearly responding to you mentioning the Student Council President of Shujin Academy, which means that Joker has just implied that Makoto is working with him. And obviously Sae knows at the very least that all of the phantom thieves are working with Joker in some capacity because there’s enough hints in his story to make it pretty clear, even if she can’t be sure that they engaged in actual phantom thievery So my question is: what’s the point of asking Joker to name names when basically all of them should be obvious to Sae?

So, for Persona 5 Strikers, I am liking it so far but it feels like if you do not have personas or party members lined up that can easily take advantage of weaknesses for a tough battle, you are kinda screwed. Is there an ability to switch out members mid battle eventually? Also, Haru says gently caress the police Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Apr 13, 2021 |

Is there an ability to switch out members mid battle eventually? unfortunately no, i started using a guide to look up the weaknesses of especially strong shadows in advance because, as you said, fights get exponentially more tedious if you don't have at least one party member to ping-pong weak-element attacks with for the first three dungeons that's easy enough to figure out, because each one has a pretty obvious "main character" you're expected to keep in the party for major battles, but after that it gets a lot fuzzier
