lol I guess someone at Xbox was as baffled about their refusal to port P5 to PC as everyone here.

Finally finally boxed off p5 royal. That last month is a lengthy one isn't it, my goodness. If I hadn't played vanilla first and loved it I'd have loved this one. Liked the quality of life stuff they added and some absolute bangers added to the soundtrack as expected. Obnoxious spoiler box: If I didn't know Dr Maruki was a new character who was obviously integral to the plot it would have been a more interesting reveal but that can't be helped. would be interesting to know how people who played royal only felt about it. Liked the way they did the 'new years but everything is slightly off' reveal. They made me care about akechi. Liked sumire, didn't feel like she was shoehorned in there too much. Still has the same problem as vanilla where Shido isn't the ultimate mastermind you've been working against the whole time, he's just incidentally been doing his own thing while both parties have been ignorant of the other so it's not really a cathartic boss fight, especially when the real villian turns out to be 'er, god I guess'. I like it when a bad guy is in plain sight the whole time and I feel like you could have done that with him, maybe joker can't remember what he looks like from the assault, popping up on TV or at madarames exhibition in the background etc. Or set him up to be completely clueless about the whole thing and he's just been improbably in the right place to benefit from all these mysterious deaths and make Akechi the main villain pulling the strings? Idk And then the final final this time we mean it boss isn't really a bad guy either. Bit underwhelming but its stylish enough that it gets away with it Overall 8 or 9/10, GG would play again (but not for a while, 108 hours Jesus Christ)

The thing is Shido is the mastermind, he's planned all the political stuff out and is the one using Akechi as a weapon. Akechi can't be the mastermind because it kind of breaks the themes of the game around abuse of power. Shido is a politician who wants to be emperor and that's the point. After he falls, Yaldabaoth's rigged game is completed, because nobody cares that Shido was a terrifying mastermind, they just wanted stability and to have their lives dictated for them the way Shido was going to do. He's thematically the result of the mortal version of what Yaldabaoth represents. Which for the record, Yaldabaoth isn't a god, he's a being born of the collective subconscious desire for control that the Phantom Thieves rebel against, because he's rigged the game in his favour as soon as he was created. The insiduous nature of fascism I guess. Lord_Magmar fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Apr 16, 2022 |

All very true! Would have just preferred it if Shido kept popping up throughout the game rather than one meeting in the hotel where unless you skipped the intro where you saw the one bald character in the game you can obviously tell he's going to be important later. I loved that in 4 it just gave you a list of everyone you'd met in the game and asked you to make your shot - and that adachi was there the whole time and there was a chance you might not have suspected him if you weren't switched on. also shooting Adam kadmon in the head and saying 'checkmate' was a bit anti climactic. he's your counselor he doesn't even play chess or discuss chess at any time! at least give me a 'looks like the doctor *blam* is out' smh

The problem with the ending of vanilla P5 isn't who the final boss is - it's that they don't do anything specific with who the final boss is. Yaldabaloth is fairly tedious as a final fight. The interesting and resonant part that never once gets brought up and should have made the final fight amazing isn't that you are fighting the Holy Grail - it's that you are fighting Fake!Igor, the person who has imprisoned you in your dreams and has been leading you into a rigged game where he is also playing the other side. It could and should have been amazing with Velvet Room imagery and the fusion tools being used against you.

Almost certainly just attention-seeking behavior by some dumbass social media intern. The nvidia leak revealed every major new release and port coming to PC in the next two years, including stuff like the Demon's Souls remake, Horizon:FW, Returnal, an as-yet unnamed new game by Respawn, etc. Persona 5 was not on the list (and nor was Bloodborne for that matter). Almost certainly not happening before 2024 if ever. e: I pulled the two year timeline out of my rear end but that's probably a reasonable estimate for the time horizon for planned upcoming releases.

I've decided to dip my toes into my first JRPG, Final Fantasy doesn't count does it? Anyway, Persona 5 Royale was on sale and from what the OP states, it looks like a decent jumping point with quality of life improvements, which I'm all about.

Finally got the 100% Thieves Den achievement, and the rewards are appropriately OP. Summoning Personas being free but fusing for high level Personas still costing money is bullshit though.

P5R is a heck of a game but it's also a LOT of game. Best advice I can give is don't get bogged down in the details and just enjoy the ride.

If you want to see everything on a single playthrough, use a spoiler free guide. There’s plenty of missable stuff.

I'm slowly getting back into watching the LP of P5R I was before and I know something is supposed to be fishy about the principal, but I can't get over him getting angry at a 16 year old girl for not bringing down the loving mafia.

It's a cultural thing, standards are just different over there. Taking down a criminal syndicate is like going to prom or getting your license. It's just something that happens for highschoolers

Loved the hell out of it until the ending because I didn’t understand the liberate/capture mechanics. That didn’t bode well for me Also pretty sure Tactics Ogre gba was Atlus as well and I think I clocked in more hours on that game then any other on the GBA

square enix seems to be having constant fire sales for all non-dragon quest/ final fantasy ips. Atlus probably could make a new ogre battle extremely easily.

Not only that but considering how they sold the Tomb Raider IP for Metaverse/NFT utilization, if they do own ogre battle I’m sure they could get it on the cheap.

One of the baffling things to me is why do they even need so much capital to get into NFTs anyway, I thought it cost basically nothing to "make" them which is part of why everyone has been doing it. Is it just the costs of the exorbitant waste of electricity involved to "mint" JPEGs of Final Fantasy characters to bilk to idiots? Though if we get a new Deus Ex or a good new Thief game it might be the only good thing to come out of all this outside of the schadenfreude of people getting hacked and losing their six figures of apes.

I always assumed that a lot of the perceived value of NFTs to people who bought them were things like that one series of tweets about "imagine buying an in-game asset, then being able to use that forever going forward, in ANY game!!!!" which of course ignores almost everything about how games work, copyrights, IPs, and about a million other issues which would prevent that use-case from EVER happening. I assume there are similar nonsense lines of thinking in other areas which are not gaming. But to people who pay $500 for a hat in a video game, the idea of getting to wear their cool hat IN EVERY GAME EVER was a big draw, and jacked up the price? I'm just guessing, tho.

Iirc a lot of NFT sales were people "selling" them to themselves to make it look like there was huge demand for them. Or as the analogy used for crypto in general goes, I have a dog and you have a dog. I say "I'll sell you my dog for a billion dollars," you say "I'll sell you my dog for a billion dollars," and now we claim that our dogs are worth 2 billion dollars.

How does Strikers perform on Switch? Weighing up whether to get it on PS4 or Switch - and would rather have it portable, and prefer to collect Switch cartridges because nostalgia.

it's obviously better on PS4 at 60fps but I had a good time with it on switch. it's not enough of an action game where the lower framerate really bites

After years of playing Persona 3 through 5 over and over again, I finally worked up the courage to play Persona 1. It just looked intimidating and dated, but it's actually not at all! Started a few days ago and right now I just finished the Lost Forest, and Mana Castle dungeons. For sure going to play Persona 2 next.

I came into the series sequentially as it was released, rather than starting in the Hashino trilogy.
