Junpei posted:Again: Hashino's going to be working on Project Re: Fantasy, so keep very close eyes on that. I'm cautiously optimistic about it, but knowing him... I'm right to be cautious. As long as we get Persona goodness with slightly less creepy men indulging in their fantasies of being a teenager dating adults, I'd be all over it. Not that most of the current wifu wars crew is any less creepy about teenage girls, but at least those relationships wouldn't be in-game felonies.

Most of these I get, but why is Makoto Shiek? Beyond being female martial artists, I don't really see much connection.

TheKirbs posted:She has similar standing kicking animations. Plus she's the closest you can get unless you go for Mii Fighter in which case why not bother making special Miis for all of them. That makes sense. Mii Brawler would be closest to her, but using Miis for any character is cheating. I guess Sheik or Zero Suit Samus would be the closest equivalents and Samus is already taken by Ann.

RareAcumen posted:Yeah, it's because of a dearth of female brawlers. The outliers being Wii-Fit, Zero Suit Samus and Peach but the first doesnt look right and the other two use unconventional weapons even for the Phantom Thieves. Haru could probably pull off Peach as well as she does Villager. Peach even fits the gardening theme with her turnips and, if you stretch it, Toad, but this is a topic that will lead to no end of arguing if followed.

W.T. Fits posted:Nah, you're fine. Technically Persona 5 Royale with Cheese would count as a different game than base Persona 5, so you're not obligated to cover any of the new content for that one. From what we can tell, the game will have changed so much that there isn’t a way to put in updates with all the changed material without making something nearly incoherently nit picky. Dungeon areas designed to use the Smash Bros-brand grappling hook alone would be nightmares to write or read.

Grouchio posted:Most importantly more Haru/other Waifu time. I’d be fine with SOME Haru time. The girl gets no screentime since everything shifts into overdrive after her dungeon ends. I could not tell you how her presence changes the group at all. I barely got her Confidant to level two before the game ended first time I played since she apparently uses the most complicated planters known to man. Also, they are not being remotely subtle about who Handsome Man really is.

Given how relatively easily the P4 and, debatably, P5 cast get their Personas, I think that the Kirijo Group scientists were just a bit too enamored with pointless malice. As shown with just about everything else they did.

I can imagine that having to endure agony when your Persona pipes up and having to rip part of your face off probably also sucked. Did they ever explain why the P3 group were the only ones who needed an external device to summon where everyone else can just focus hard enough to do it?

YaketySass posted:There's a strong symbolic component to how every game presents Persona awakening: P3's theme is the death drive/fear of death, so you need to mimick suicide; P4 is truth against deception, so it's about acknowledging the Shadow self; and P5 is, fittingly enough, "gently caress you I won't do what you tell me". Pretty sure that P5’s theme was a ripping off the mask society imposes to show your real self. Also, accepting the pain doing so will bring.

Iamgoofball posted:someone posted in here earlier but the main gist is more "she's incredibly emotionally compromised and it's totally taking advantage of her", especially with the way that scene it written for Futaba Plus the whole sibling undertones the game has for her with the protagonist after she shows up. Futaba as a romance partner, at least as she is in-game, is kind of creepy. Not quite “date your teacher/doctor/every other moderately attractive older woman you know” creepy, but still.

Makoto is honestly the best party member in the game. She's a Jack of All Trades done right who can slot in anywhere. She isn't amazing at anything, but she's good at everything, even without her absurd endgame gun. The fact that her element is rarely resisted and her weakness is the rarest enemy attack element in the game doesn't hurt, either. Or that her only competition for healing are both very squishy.

Wasn’t the whole point of Sae’s Palace that she was dangerously close to crossing a serious line, but not at the point of no return yet? Her changing was a little weak, but that comes back to the decision of the framing device of the game spanning interrogation. You know, the one that presents her as paranoid enough to assume every single interaction the player has as a diabolical plot, yet patient enough to sit through the every irrelevant detail of seven months of a clearly drugged teenager’s life.

AnAnonymousIdiot posted:Y'know, have to wonder if that might be a spiritual regression. More like a re-evaluation or old ideas to help advance in a new direction. They are just making more advanced versions of the same root ideas. The fusion has thematic elements of both previous tiers, but looks much more personalized for them than the fully mythological figures they used to be. I just want to see how Makoto’s new fused persona will work since Anat was just Johanna in robot mode.

Junpei posted:I mean, I wouldn't mind a chance to play around with Akechi-Loki with new skills and a new appearance, but probably in some sort of non-canon capacity, or at the very least with the PTs making it very clear that this is purely for dealing with (new Royal-only villain scenario). If they, unfortunately, do team up again, the group should absolutely have mutual hostility between them the whole time. The first Royal trailer flat or has Akechi himself rejecting the obsessive pity the fangirls have for him as an insult, so I have some hope.

Lord_Magmar posted:It’s also a deal specifically between Joker and Fake Igor, so who knows if the other Phantom Thieves are anything more than living toys for Joker’s ego in that reality. Good point. The other Thieves never got released from their Velvet Room cells, so their wills are implicitly suppressed. Which makes sense since none of them would be likely to agree to this situation. So not only did Joker sell himself out, he sold his team into mind slavery to keep ego tripping as a superhero pawn of Yaldy.
