No, they're still just friends who I guess hang out a lot more because Shiho is still at Shujin? I think?

It’s this, yeah. Shiho never left Shujin in Maruki’s reality.

Strikers: I just realized that it's kind of weird that Akane is in her school uniform for all her scenes considering the game takes place during what I assume is every Japanese school's summer break

Also thanks for the spoiler fix on my post, whoever did it. I should be more careful with it.

P5R in the bag.

I liked the third semester stuff but I am so loving glad to be done with the game.

Also I got beat up by all my girlfriends, which owned.

Only confidants I didn't max were Tower, Fortune, Devil, Moon, and Sun.

Thankee kindly.
Sun is a good person though, shame on you.

As for Moon, it's probably one of the better sadsack links in that the sadsack admits they're a sadsack and finally decides to become less of one.

I was able to set aside the evening, so palace 3 is in the books


I'm on Merciless and most of the dungeon was babytown frolics where I was barely even using SP. Then I ran into enough cameras that I almost got to 100% alarm lol (can't believe Ohya might have been useful) and then the two miniboss fights either one-shot Joker or nearly killed the party lol. I really can't let anything get a turn in, can I

Based on previous discussion I am only summoning the DLC Personas when they are level appropriate. I had Orpheus and then during a Fusion Alarm I fused into Orpheus Picaro, seems good

Haru is pretty dang good in Strikers. Honestly the whole cast get their time in the spotlight. Morgana, Ryuji and Futaba have less of a presence, but that's fine since they take the lion's share of it in P5 already, which is pretty smart of them, and even then Ryuji's VAing is gold, Futaba has endless meme references and Morgana gets his own few moments to shine.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



it's hard to say; in December 2013 Atlus had announced 700k, but they would say later in april 2014 that it moved 350k units



if I had to guess I'd say that the 700k number might include the original game, but frankly all I can say for sure is that P4G on the vita probably sold somewhere between 350k-1 million copies

I'm still not 100% on why 'EGS exclusive' is such a terrible curse. People complain about it, I can't help but hear the "Steam exclusive" complaints from a decade ago.

This is an entire can of worms conspiracy about the Epic Game Store being a Chinese espionage program that was designed to steal your data and give it to the Chinese governement

Which is totally different from Steam. Steam would never do that.

Mostly, it's just a much worse designed storefront, and a lot more intrusive than Steam is - loads more popups, downloads starting without user consent.

Revelry in the Dark

Cleared Okumura's Palace last night. I have no idea why that fight is so overtuned near the end. I had to go up to Merciless to get enough damage. Hardest part was beating the Chief Directors, the Execurobo was a joke with the beefed up technical damage after using one stun gun

I was doing my first playthrough on Merciless anyways so when I saw the first person complain about Okumura I was like "huh weird I thought it was easy" and then a million people started mentioning it

I couldn’t beat it even on Merciless, I had to turn it down to Easy. I’d make it to the phase with the green robots multiple times on merciless and without fail the first that would happen in that round would be one of the robots critting and killing Joker from full health, even through a Rakukaja.

I definitely liked it at the time but I feel the least need to go back to it. Putting everything else aside, a lot of people in that game have kinda weird faces.

That and just being annoying to have a bunch of different storefronts are why I don't use it.

For me it's entirely that I want all my poo poo in one place (Steam) or I forget I have it. It's a stupid reason but it's the truth.
