imo weird things about the persona series just might come down to individual decisions by the devs, like the guy who's never had a female friend ever

Which dev is this again? P5 is still a cool game but a bit weird to people who dislike anime/jrpgs.

I was joking a bit based on a decade+ old interview, but the director for P3-5, Hashino

quote:

THAT CERTAINLY MAKES ME FEEL BETTER. COME TO THIN OF IT, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU CAN ONLY FORGE THAT KIND OF FRIENDSHIP WITH SOCIAL LINKS OF THE SAME GENDER. OPPOSITE GENDER SOCIAL LINKS WILL REVERSE QUICKLY. DOES THIS MEAN TRUE FRIENDSHIPS BETWEEN PEOPLE OF OPPOSITE GENDER DO NOT EXIST?

HASHINO: I’ve never successfully forged a true friendship with a girl in real life.

SOEJIMA: Neither have I.

HASHINO: I guess that means we couldn’t implement it into the game because we don’t know what it’s like. (laughs)

SOEJIMA: Now that I’m on my thirties, I’m more open to the notion that it is possible, though. Back in high school, I admit I couldn’t look at girls that way.

Another point for Haru, since she responds best to gags. I thought it was just the devs making her easy to rank up to compensate for her placement, but no, she apparently gets pretty "eh" with you if you're more blandly "supportive".

I don't mind the texts in general but there are a lot of little "boy that palace situation is sure happening" scenes throughout the game that pile up and I started skipping through as I got closer to the end. I guess they really didn't want people to completely forget about them but it's kinda excessive to have the texts, the before school chats, the after school texts, etc all going on

P5's negotiation system is good imo. By the end of the game it's probably the easiest it's ever been to grab something you want short of just buying them in DeSu.

That's probably a decision by the loc team and not an invalid one just for not being 1:1 to the JP version.

Who else would play P5 if you didn't have any romantic SL? None of the LI appealed to me except for Yusuke so I'd play it. Also, we're guaranteed to leave after 1 yr regardless if we date or not so IDK what's the point?

There were some cute bits but I'd probably like it a bit better without them, a lot of the BOY BETTER CHOOSE MY WORDS CAREFULLY scenes were p awkward.

One question is if there are things that I wouldn't get being unfamiliar with the Persona/SMT series. Carry over characters and such. Do you play as heart stealers every game, or are there recurring characters?

Aside from direct sequels every game has a new cast. Being phantom thieves of hearts and all that is P5's thing, but P3 and 4 have the same style of gameplay and all of them deal with supernatural stuff relating to human psychology/collective unconscious/etc.

Rest of SMT is another thing entirely that generally includes more focused RPGs dealing with demons and poo poo loving up the world directly

SMT1: Demon kills your mom in the opening segment

P5 in particular has pretty easy encounter design, and it's entirely possible for the difficultly curve to break entirely as a function of something the game makes relatively easily available to you.
