I personally kinda doubt that for *reasons*, especially because we just have no idea what the gently caress happens when someone dies in the Metaverse and have no reason to assume it works like the TV World.

I am willing to shelve this discussion until said *reasons* come up but the way the body was found is different from how it worked in the 4th game and he is the only person to have died around that time frame.

Man, twice in one day with the Phantom Thieves jumping to conclusions. From the look of the shop I got the idea that they ransacked it or they kidnapped Sojiro and he put up a fight like some kinda Street Fighter or something.

Well, we did see the part where Shido's conspiracy goons showed up to "ask" Sojiro some questions and then "arrested" him after the Phantom Thieves sent the calling card. They were also searching the place, so I assume they really took it out on Leblanc when they couldn't find anything of note and ransacked the place in the process, just adding more poo poo thrown about to their actions.

Sojiro's a former g-man of some description, at least one of those thugs has a broken jaw.

Oh no I understand, I was just surprised that you read the old one instead of the new-ish version. I knew you were reading an older LP of it because you said 10-year old thread in your last post. Didn't know that you had read it before though, which is totally understandable.

In hindsight, everyone beating the poo poo out of Ryuji is twice as bad because he joined the Phantom Thieves specifically to stop a guy who physically abused him.

DarkId was my gateway into the LP-fanazia (don’t care if that’s not a real word) as well as Redchoco’s(?) LPs on the pokemon series. Shame said LPs aren’t on the archives anymore.

I think my gateway to Let's Play was "Let's Play Phantasy Star!" (Boatmurdered, the fifth attempt to play Phantasy Star IV, and Nakar's playthrough/destruction of Ultima VI are still my favorite LPs, with the still-not-on-the-Archive-for-some-reason Sailor Moon: Another Story a close fourth.)

Rerailing the thread, everyone kicking Ryuji's rear end is, to me, a really lousy retread of the part from Persona 4 where Chie gets mad at Yu and Yosuke for going into the Midnight Channel.

I don't go by my caste, creed, or religion. My works speak for me.

I think that my first LP was DarkId's Drakengard 1 LP, which I found because I was 11 and couldn't complete all of Drakengard 1 on my own and wanted to know what happened.

Then a series of FE games and almost anything else I could find on Fedule's archive site. I ended up buying a membership for his Nier Automata LP, and for this very thread.

Yep, that's the one. I read it on the LP Archive, though. I don't recall what the first LP thread I actually participated in was.
