Huh, that's cool then. I did already mod the Steam version because the Reloaded setup lets you keep the application from pausing when the window loses focus

Just finished the new Royal content and I have to say, the final act is much more satisfying than vanilla's endgame.

DLC Inc posted:I think the game gets a bit pointless/tedious once you max out certain traits/confidants and at that rate, there's no point really trying to do certain activities. Hopefully in Persona 6 (coming 2030) they shore that up and also bump up the characters at least to college age so some of this feels less weird. A few activities will give you points with multiple confidants, or net you decorations, or boost Baton/Technical, or get unique skills from books... but in general yeah it's mostly for cheevos. I'd be down for removing social stats entirely, since that'd also remove the confidant locks that force you rushing them, but it'd be an extremely short game without batting/fishing/darts/eating ridiculous burgers/etc. The age always gets brought up and it's always a  thing with the teenagers. There's no reason Persona wouldn't work perfectly well in an office.

 Btw is there a Japanese word that is getting translated into "deal" that is more significant/thiefy? There are multiple scenes where making a deal is given a lot of emphasis or two people helping each other is considered a bit like a deal.

KittyEmpress posted:I mean he is the trickster too. He has all of Joker's powers, it's made pretty explicit. It's just that he is a gently caress up who cannot manage to unearth his full power because of his mental instabilities. Akechi didn't even try to recruit Shadows after seeing Joker do it. He's also enough of a dumbass that he spams physical, bless, and curse into null and reflect Personas. But he didn't have access to the Velvet Room and fusions.

Oops I forgot to do literally any baton passes post Bank. Also, got to the final third semester area and... I'm instant-killing all shadows, which also levelled everyone to 99. I do enjoy the image of a Velvet Room-dressed Joker murdering all opposition with what looks like a Dab, Elizabeth would approve.

Are there any more requests where you can talk down the shadow instead of beating it up, apart from the first one? I'm in September and I haven't seen any Mementos fights use that mechanic other than the one with the cat hoarder that you get early in the game. It seems like an odd thing to have once and never again. Did I miss something obvious with this?

But he didn't have access to the Velvet Room and fusions. More Akechi stuff. I have a theory that he's not a...fully functional Wild Card user. It's mostly me just trying to weld everything together, but any time we've seen fully functional Wild Card users whose base Arcana isn't Fool has been when Philemon has been directly involved in events or through highly unusual circumstances (Aigis' Arcana shifting from Chariot to Fool in The Answer). The base Fool users all have had access to the Velvet Room so far. We've seen two different manifestations of it not being fully functional but partially accessible to non-Fool characters in PQ/PQ2, and with Akechi. In the case of PQ/PQ2, they have access to the Velvet Room and the full spread of Arcana, but can't fully use the power of the Wild Card (the full user's ability is also dampened). Akechi only has Justice Arcana Persona, and there's the implication that they are all just alternate facets of himself. All in all, I think fully functional Wild Cards either must be of the Fool Arcana, or must have access to the Velvet Room without some weirdness going on like the Abyss of Time/the fake School/the Cinema. We have one instance of a potential Wild Card without the base Fool Arcana (Sho), and he had access to the Velvet Room, although he turned down the contract. So anyway, that's all a long way to say my theory is that while Akechi can manifest multiple Persona, rather than the permanent changes seen when the other party members' Persona upgrade, they can only come from within himself and as the Justice Arcana.

Commander Keene posted:I think it's the writing playing into the idea that aside from the party the Confidants are more transactional even in-universe than the Social Links were in P3 and P4; Joker seeks these people out because they're useful to him, he doesn't meet them and become friends and then incidentally leverage their Power of Friendship into phenomenal cosmic power by accident. Yeah it kind of felt like it was the game covering for the possibility that you might not like some of the confidants and just level them up to get their powers by saying yeah maybe Joker feels the same way. He's so reserved with most of them that it's not much of a stretch.

Cloacamazing! posted:How far along are you on Akechi's link? Might still be possible, some of his link is only available after clearing the dungeon anyway. I'm on rank 6 so I doubt I'll be able to bump it to 9 within like 20 days lol.

AngryRobotsInc posted:More Akechi stuff. This leads to an interesting question about whether the Chariot is a fundamental property of the person or a property of the Wild Card's relationship to the person. So if (for whatever reason) Mishima were to become a Wild Card would his S-link with Joker be a Fool, or would Joker possibly be his Hierophant or even Chariot. And would Futaba be his Hermit given that when he meets them they are getting out and about? quote:So anyway, that's all a long way to say my theory is that while Akechi can manifest multiple Persona, rather than the permanent changes seen when the other party members' Persona upgrade, they can only come from within himself and as the Justice Arcana. Part of that depends on how 'canon' you take the extra month or even whether that's the real Akechi and not a cognition. In it of course Akechi, like the rest of the PTs, manages a third tier evolution - and all of them do it by fusing their initial and evolved personas other than Akechi who fuses Robin Hood and Joker.

And would Futaba be his Hermit given that when he meets them they are getting out and about? That falls under the "Highly unusual circumstances" stuff, I would say. Granted, there are a lot of parts of the added bit that....didn't have that much thought put into how they function within the framework of the series. If I had to bullshit an explanation real quick, sidestepping the "So....Akechi, cognition or real?" aspect because lawd that is a big one, I'd just say the weirdness there is a visual means of conveying the resolution between their past and their present, and moving along the path to fully realizing their true selves. But again that's me just real quick pulling something out of my rear end right this second. I have a lot of "I put way too much time into thinking about this poo poo" theories, including stuff like the Expanse, the Amala Network, Mementos, the Dark Hour, the Midnight Channel, the Schwarzwelt, etc. are all manifestations and offshoots of the same underlying principle and are what tie the multiverse together into one whole.
