Maaku being able to resist something like a mind-altering substance while under intense interrogation for a long period of time is entirely plausible.

Arist posted:
This is kind of a huge deal and it's amazing that they just bury it in skippable side content. Political stuff is kind of my thing, though, so I've done some research into Japan's House of Representatives. The situation as presented is realistic - Japan's Constitution does allow for the House to be dissolved after the passage of a motion of no confidence. The voting system for the House is also kind of strange. 176 members are elected from multi-member constituencies and a further 289 are elected from single-member seats. These systems don't really interact, though, so large parties seem to have a big advantage. The current government, under Shinzo Abe, has 312 of the 465 seats. All of this is by way of confirming that the poo poo Shido is pulling would be a MAJOR loving deal in Japan and it's kind of mind boggling that the game glosses it over. E: The closest parallel I can think of for American readers would be some group splintering off the Democrat or Republican Party and having the numbers to not just gently caress with legislation, but to immediately dissolve Congress and force an election.

Mr. Shido’s new party, the “United Future,” sent a motion of non-confidence against the cabinet. It was approved by a majority vote, which then led to a dissolution of the House. An election is expected to be held before the yearend, and each party has already begun preparing.
Oh, sounds like there’s going to be an election. I wonder who’s going to win.
|
Funky Valentine posted:The game could use an aside to explain Japanese politics to non-Japanese players, because Shido's whole plotline gets a bit murky without understanding it. It's very different to US politics, and much closer to the Westminster system you see in the UK, Canada, Australia, etc. The voting system seems a bit weird though, and basically guarantees large majorities for governing parties.

GhostStalker posted:Also, the game is super on the nose by having the ruling party that Shido's new one is splitting being called the Liberal Co-Prosperity Party, referencing both the hegemonic Liberal Democratic Party who have ruled Japan for almost the entirety of the post war period (I think they've only been out of power for like 5 years or something like that), and the name of the World War II Japanese Empire, officially the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Nah, that seems far too cute to be accidental. One thing I neglected to focus on earlier is the numbers Shido needed to bring down the government. Assuming the current makeup of the House; the government is in majority with 312 seats. The other parties make up the remaining 153. To pass a vote of no confidence (assuming every opposition member voted for it), Shido needed to convince 80 members of the government's party to cross the floor and vote against their own leadership. That might seem like a routine thing in America, but party unity is a much bigger deal in jurisdictions like Japan, where the executive sits in the parliament. Looking at some more history, there is form for this - Prime Minister Koizumi advised the Emperor to dissolve the House after losing a vote to privatise the postal service in 2005, with several members of his party crossing the floor. It's me, I'm the guy theorycrafting the political environment of a parliament presented as a tangential plot in a game about teens fighting with their minds and riding inside a talking cat.

Clarste posted:The fact that she wants to be the Commissioner and not just a Detective or whatever implies to me that her dream is to change the system, not just to join it. You might call that naive, but I don't think she's ignoring the problems that we've seen. Now that you mention this, the whole 'collapse of the government' angle would be way more believable if instead of a PE teacher, an artist, a mafia guy and a CEO the Phantom Thieves has targeted actual corrupt public officials like cops, prosecutors, and even the former Prime Minister. Might not play well in Japan though.

Ok, now the game is getting implausible about politics. Newspaper Student talks about the House of Representatives getting adjourned soon, while Bespectacled Office Worker says the House has already been disbanded. It's plausible not to know the difference, I guess (though a student newspaper editor should know better) but to not know whether it's happened or not is dumb. For the record, just because the House adjourns does not mean they're calling an election. Houses adjourn whenever they finish sitting. Get better at your job, Student Newspaper Editor!
