Yeah, Hashino moved on after base P5 was done to start making a medieval fantasy RPG that I don't think there have been any other announcements about yet.

The extra Royal content was directed by someone else and it shows IMO.

Yeah my Royal playthrough is coming off the back of an original one I cut short. You really can tell a difference with the new content. Was wondering if that was just me. Makes me hopeful for whatever comes next.

Persona 5 Strikers has the best plot because it’s not too long and since the calendar stuff is simplified it isn’t horribly paced

Also you don’t have to sit through everyone getting to know each other it’s just a full group dynamic from go

I will say all the new poo poo in royal is probably the best modern personas every been and included the first final protagonist you could possibly give a poo poo about but royal is still bogged down by all the original p5 writing so it's overall worse than 3.


P2 and P2 still the best tho.

I think purely in terms of writing and ideas the series has not reached the heights of the 2 duology.
Gameplay you can easily argue for the later ones.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
The main weird thing is that they aren't actually doing anything in the real world, it should be impossible to pin a crime on them. Like, the Phantom Thieves do not actually exist.

Edit: I mean, other than the conspiracy that controls the government and can do whatever it wants. But they don't know about that at first.

The police get brought into the Metaverse and literallu catch him in the act.

That said they can't actually charge them without a confession which is why the framing device is Sae trying to get one

I'm talking about whether their fear of revealing themselves in public is rational or not. For like 80% of the game they have no reason to believe that they could get in trouble for mind-crimes.

They're not really rebels and they're not really thieves which is kind of P5 in a nutshell. People expected some anti-authoritarian screed and that is just not what P5 was ever meant to be. Brainwashing for the greater good was the most morally ambiguous thing they did and they made sure to drop that.

Yu at least is pretty funny. That is a distinct memory I have of when I first played P4. He had so much more life than P3 guy. Get sucked into a TV World and your hopeless friends ask what to do? "We're doomed." Teddie bites you? "My finger hurts..." Yu has sassiness like Bunny from DeSu 2 vs. boring, blue-haired headphones-wearing kid. (How weirdly similar they are in design always stood out to me ever since I first played Devil Survivor)

I remember when I first played Persona posters on here stressed that Minato is not lacking in personality, it's just that his personality is being an awkward, quiet kid with no social skills. Fine. But from FeMC's universal popularity, and how even people who hate DeSu 2 seem to like his dialogue options, I think having a more lively choice of dialogue like they and Yu get is very welcome.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I just randomly decided to watch Cronenberg's The Fly last night and it took me until the second half of the movie to realize how big of an inspiration it was on Megaten's fusion system.

I'll never look at a Slime in the same way again :stonk:

Poking around a bit I think the problem may be input lag with the PSTV/DS4 combo. I'll slap everything in an actual Vita tomorrow and give it a try, but I'm done for the evening because right now this stupid minigame is draining away the enjoyment I've had playing the rest of the game.

Well I'm glad you're enjoying the rest of the game. If it's any consolation, I beat the game twice and don't remember ever bothering with fishing at all.

Any favorites in terms of characters or S Links?
