Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:now i wonder what dumb guides anyone's following between this and It's been easier to just keep rolling with it rather than do a complete restart. The only r10 romance I've never seen is Kasumi's and I can either youtube that or catch it on a NG+ playthrough for the final persona. It was only super annoying because I didn't know that the romance/friendship paths now worked like this and the guide never spelled it out like the one you linked did. Just like every time one of these releases I wonder why they even design it the same way when everyone either A) doesn't care or B) immediately dives for a guide.

a lot of people in fact don't use a day by day guide for Persona because they are normal

I'd rather just accept that I'm not gonna see everything in the game, or replay on NG+ if I liked the game that much, than play exactly by a guide. Might as well watch an LP at that point, because you're not really playing the game imo.

I'd like to see as much of the game as I can in a single playthrough, because it's ninety loving hours, I'm not doing a new game plus.

So, I hate to revive this forever-conversation, but I am at an impasse. When I played p5 non-royal, years ago, I had my character romance Kawakami partly because it's the most hosed up for the fiction of the game, but also because she and I are adults and so in that sense it's the least hosed up, for me, in the non-fiction context of my life. I now sense that I want my character to romance Kawakami again. Should I go a different route? Is there a more interesting option? Maybe something that comes up more? Something that everyone should try that isn't Kawakami? Does that exist?

Even following a guide, you kind of have to be able (and willing) to execute on it, being able to clear dungeons within a single inning whenever possible.

The friendship path with Kawakami is really nice. Or you could go for the zany anime option of dating everyone and they all show up for a date on the same day.

IIRC the only character who actually takes it hard if you don't romance them is Haru, and also to lesser extend Hifumi and Chihaya. Everybody else is either totally fine with being shot down or doesn't even bring up a romantic angle unless Joker does first. Kawakami in particular kinda feels like you're coercing her into a relationship, she more than any of the other adult waifus seems to realize how hosed up banging her student would be.

I have two answers, the one you want and the one I truly feel: 1). Date Ohya or Takemi because both of them are plenty hosed up. The former slightly more just out of novelty (I bet sub-1% of P5 playthroughs romance Ohya exclusively) 2). I don’t understand adults who play this game and are like “well I can’t romance the teens because in real life I am an adult” motherfucker it is a Japanese Role-Playing Game, play a loving role. No one who isn’t too online or too stupid is gonna think you’re a creep for playing an RPG where you make a teenager date another teenager as long as you don’t get weird about it. Do people do this about other games? I feel like I hear this argument about P5 exclusively because it’s the only game “daring” enough to give people the option to make teenagers date grown-rear end women instead of other teenagers

Hot take I guess: all of the romances are fine because it's a loving video game date whoever you loving want. Yeah Futaba is coded heavily as your surrogate sister and also emotionally reliant on Joker. Yeah there are a bunch of grown rear end women who you can date. In real life a lot of these relationships would be at best problematic and and at worst outright illegal, but this isn't real life it's a loving video game and having Joker bang his teacher or the alcoholic reporter is fine, do whatever you want. People who get worked up over fake relationships in a video game are extremely tiresome.Dorkopotamis posted:Haru or Takemi, which is it? Haru because she's a way more fleshed out character than Takemi by virtue of being part of the main cast. Also she probably takes it the worst out of all of the romance options if you turn her down.

None of the romances actually happen and are actually just joker bragging to sae during his interview 'so was the goth doctor before or after the professional shogi player' 'i can't remember, but both were definitely before the Olympic gymnast, the American fashion model, and your sister. They all text me all the time just look at my phone' 'uh huh'

Neeksy posted:I judge the person who wrote the hosed up options much more than I do the people who choose them when they play the game, by far. I think Kawakami's dynamic is pretty interesting and definitely the most unconventional. From the outset there's a traditional and understood power imbalance between her and your character. You're disadvantaged. They treat you unfairly. You're wary of them. Then you're character gets leverage over them and pretty much immediately starts manufacturing blackmail, without your input. Your character just does. The relationship could be a continuation of that leverage building, obviously in a very gross way. There's a chapter in Norwegian Wood where a character, an older woman, recounts a story of how a child in their care seduced them. The person you're hearing this from is obviously very vulnerable, maybe throughout their entire life. They're in an asylum while you're hearing it. They describe their seducer, though a child, as a well resourced manipulator and likely sociopath. Still, you as the reader are meant to question the person telling this story as ultimately, they did what they did. There's no getting around reality and there never will be. And that is why Akechi is right. George Sex - REAL fucked around with this message at 09:22 on Nov 1, 2022 |

now why would you think having 50 in all stats at level 10 would be gamebreaking, hmm? they're actually broken even at the appropriate levels because all of them have completely busted unique skills, but that doesn't matter that much because royal lets you create equally busted personas all on your own if you're so inclined.
