Plugging along through the game, just now getting to the desert tomb, and let me just say that Yusuke is a goddamn delight in this game.

Yeah, as I play through I haven't noticed a ton of egregious errors or anything like that, but I've noticed plenty of weird oddities along the way.

I'm happy I did not get the game at launch. It's a fun game, but the pacing is annoying (This cat demands I sleep tonight. I must obey), and those tiny little translation mistakes would have driven me insane had I bought the game day one. All the delays for the game, and they still don't nail the translation? That's frustrating, even if it is a forgivable effort.

I'm still waiting for Futaba to bounce back, but it's kinda funny that one dungeon is finally putting together some pieces of the story. Like, up to this point it felt like three separate plot threads would never connect, but through this dungeon I can see them all coming together.

Hope my theory pans out!

I just hate that the game takes away your ability to do an action for the day/night every time there's any kind of story beat. In some cases it makes sense but I don't see how meeting up for Sunday lunch with my phantom bros means I'm too tired to move in the evening.

Unlocking the maid massage was like...a religious experience for me. I can dungeon dive to my hearts content!

I feel like Sae gets a lot of poo poo considering the fact that you were basically using magic to do everything.

The only time I hated her was when she was:

1)Mean to Sojiro

and

2)Mean to Makoto


She at least apologized for #2.

I get more irritated that they play the one reaction sound clip, regardless of how many times in a row you do the same move.



If for some reason you decided to exploit 5 enemies' weaknesses with a single target spell, you will get the exact same message 5 times. Would it have really killed em to record a second line so they could alternate?

Most of the Ann moments fell flat to me, but if I hated Morgana for anything it's that he is the face of "LOL SORRY IT'S TIME FOR BED!!!"


Other than that Morgana was a nifty little dude to me.

Akechi has two things going for him: his outfit in dungeons and his little victory shimmy after an all out attack.

Out of curiosity, are any of the Persona series/movie(s?) worth a watch? I've only played 5 but I plan on playing 3 and 4 eventually, I don't mind spoilers though.

4 had a decent series, but I'd hesitate to recommend it to you over the game itself.

I dated everyone but Futaba because it felt weird going from "let's get you back into society in even the most basic capacity" to "also let's get romantic."

Really though the reason to be mildly optimiestic about persona 6 in this regard is the staff change up. Not blaming like, literally one guy for this, but the facts are that lit. Every game the p3-p5 director has had significant say in (including nocturne) has poo poo like that, the dude constantly puts his foot in his mouth in interviews, the one major persona release hes been uninvolved with (p3p) significantly walked that stuff back, and other games from atlus dont have these issues, like etrian odyssey v just had lesbian side characters.

Its not a stretch to think that maybe now that he and his team are gone things might be different.

Hadn't heard about the staff shake up, but I'm happy to hear about it.

Overall I felt Persona 5 was a pretty mixed bag, and while I was never upset by some of the off color jokes in the series I'm going to be relieved to (hopefully) see them gone. The game's proved they could be funny without crap like that, and I'd rather they stick to what works.

Has anyone seen the anime adaptation of Persona 5? Did they change anything storywise? I've been mildly curious about giving it a shot, just to see how it turned out, but if there are any story improvements I think I'd be more eager to give it a watch.

Maybe it was just a bad translation at times, and that's why the message kinda failed to reach everyone's ears. Because you know....the translation wasn't great at times.



I mean, I like the interpretation above, and it makes a lot of sense, but upon beating the game I did not feel like that's what the story was trying to say.
