Considering I'm so used to his performance as Rean in the Trails games, I legit cannot tell that this is Sean Chiplock voicing Mishima. He uses a higher pitch and more nasally voice for Mishima-- dude has incredible range

Did a Ryuji confidant, so I had to

CharlieFoxtrot posted:

Well according to my real-time P5R playthrough I guess I'm making shoyu ramen



CharlieFoxtrot posted:



Shoyu ramen is soy-sauce based. Marinated beef slices in soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar for an hour. Browned them in a saucepan with toasted sesame oil until the pan had almost like a paste of browned fat, and set aside the meat. Next, heated minced ginger and garlic until almost starting to brown, stirred in a dab of doubanjiang (spicy red bean paste), let that go for a bit longer, then poured in the water for the broth. Deglazed all the bits from the pan, then added the marinade from the beef, bit of chicken bouillon, plus hondashi powder. (I let this boil for like 5 minutes to be safe lol). Boiled and plated the noodles, poured the broth. Topped with broccoli, sliced scallion, kimchi, daikon sprouts, nori, beef, egg, and Japanese seven-spice.

The broth was really good... kinda smoky from the toasted sesame oil, feels right for "deep flavor"

There's like five different ramen events in P5 Strikers. I mean, at least they're actually eating ramen and he's not shoehorning it into random convos

Yeah, there's a sidequest where you have to kill Mothmen to make a compression sleeve for a ramen chef so you can buy tickets to go buy his ramen and the whole time I was thinking "who goes to all this effort to buy some soup?"

Never has a game made me hungrier than P5S, there’s so much eating and all of the food sounds delicious. If you told me that the Japanese Restaurant Association funded its development I would believe you.

I fought Shido today in Royal, and since I've played Strikers more recently than I have the original P5 I noticed that the intro cutscene to the fight with Akira is almost 1:1 a recreation of the intro cutscene to the Shido fight, where their armor manifests piece by piece as they climb up to their mount

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world Diabeetus.

Makes sense, Y7 took an already winning formula, then added Dragon Quest to it, Japan ate it up and we have a rabid fanbase here so yeah. I appreciate that they want to release more stuff in the US, they just need to port stuff off other consoles as well.

I actually started up SMT for SNES a few months before starting P5 for the first time and I set it down after a little while because the mechanics were pretty obtuse even with an English translation patch and guide helping me (plus I couldn’t understand the spell names at all), but I think I might go back at some point. The tone of that game is impressively bleak for a Super Nintendo game. P5 has moments of violence and horror but the tone overall is a fairly even mix between goofy and serious, SMT is straight up horror.

P5 taught you more or less everything you would need to know for SMT 1, like spell names and the basics of fusion. It's a very basic game compared to the later SMT and Persona games. You can pretty easily just auto-battle all the normal enemies like 90% of the time and go through most boss fights just by spamming Tarukaja 4 times and attacking. (In all the non-Persona SMT games the skills like Tarukaja affect the whole party and never run out but they go up by 4 tiers).
The only major exception is the occasional demon or boss that is immune to physical attacks. I would kind of recommend it since the number of random encounters is insane.

SMT 1 and 2 are pretty cool for some of the atmosphere and narrative tricks that they pull off despite being pretty old and low tech games.

At that point in the series, Tarukaja and Makakaja could stack 8 times!

Rakukaja and Sukukaja were still only 4 though.

So I’m wondering how much longer it will take me to complete P5R. I’m almost in the middle of January, and I’m doing my first mandatory investigation of the palace after getting my whole party back. This is after the conversation with Lavenza at the school. By the way, I’m loving this new content but I think my favorite part was Akechi as your navigator. I loved his edgy quotes like “This enemy is wreak, THIS IS GONNA BE A SLAUGHTER!!!” So silly, so good.

The best is when a brainwashed enemy hits another enemy and he says "oh Joker, that one was just betrayed by his teammate, I wonder what that feels like????" with the most poo poo eating tone imaginable.

It's an antiquated holdover from mainline SMT (oddly, mainline SMT has since abandoned it), and absolutely has no place in the series nowadays.
