Hobgoblin2099 posted:That's pretty amazing considering he basically killed his mother. It's more understandable when you realize that Yusuke has no real memories of his mother (as he admits) but does have memories of Madarame as his teacher in something that he loves a great deal. Yes, those are tainted memories, but the bond between a teacher and pupil is pretty strong.

Yes, this is accurate -- in the last couple of decades, the various yakuza organizations have been challenged for territory in Japan by criminal organizations that don't even make a pretense of observing yakuza traditions, some of which style themselves "mafia" despite having no connections to any of the Italian or Sicilian crime families.

TheDavies: Attempt #1 The path that we walk is one opposed to law and virtue, in which we lead a double life. Some have spoken in favor of romancing Makoto, to further tempt her away from law and virtue. Yet there is another, better way to demonstrate our contempt for the mundane, our ability to dismiss the pathetic banality of real life. There is someone out there who has also abandoned law and virtue, who was living a double life long before we were. And to romance this individual is itself a crime! Yes -- romance Kawakami!# TheDavies fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Apr 11, 2018 |

The way I see it, Mishima's confidant represents one of the very few unalloyed triumphs in this game. We were able to get to him and make him change his ways before he started doing damage to the people around him (like ever other Mementos job) or turned his internal reality into a nightmare vision (like every other Mementos job would have eventually done if not for our intervention). It's not that he's not worth a boss fight ... it's that he's not yet that far gone as to need one.

It depends on how much drugs we're talking about. If it's enough, even if they survived, the driver -- assuming that he wasn't just strapped into the seat with a brick holding down the accelerator -- might have been too far out of it to tell the police anything about what happened.

Omobono posted:For some of the targets it makes sense: for example Kamoshida could easily decide to wait a couple weeks for the general assembly, especially because he knew he'd have to confess in a way to make impossible for the principal to suppress. I find it difficult to believe that he was behaving that rationally.

If he were the murdering type, a certain bald-headed individual he's supposed to have attacked would be dead.. Also, he's admitting to having "attacked" a bunch of other people, only one of whom died. The pattern of his actions doesn't support the idea of him as a killer.

Heh… simple enough. There’s still no proof that another suspect exists. That said, it’s safe enough to say that you aren’t the murdering type.

Arist posted:
In fairness, this is not necessarily Sojro making an association between the Phantom Thieves and his lodger so much as it's making an association between Futaba, her change of behavior and the Phantom Thieves. And possibly more than that, given his history with Futaba's mother.

resurgam40 posted:Given the weight the story has given to the troubles faced by Makoto, I don’t really blame her for not mentioning her sister’s Palace sooner. Case or no case, Sae is Makoto’s only relative and her feelings of love and admiration are plain; even if I knew things were hopeless, I’d at least try to find another way to deal with the twisted heart, or so I’d like to believe. Hard enough believing someone you love might be evil, much less admit it to your friends! As well, in every case so far, the major targets of the Phantom Thieves have been people who have a palace and who have actually harmed someone -- even if that someone is themselves, as with Futaba. Makoto might know that Sae is becoming emotionally distorted -- and the conversations that they've had are ample evidence -- but so far as Makoto (and everyone else) knows, she hasn't caused anyone any harm, yet.

I think it's possible that the interrogation scenes that correspond to the protagonist's 'deals' might take place out of synch with the protagonist's narration of their story. Remember, during the interrogation the protagonist has been drugged.

Because Shido, like most megalomaniacs, thinks of himself as the end of history. And the idea of Japan sinking has a fairly long history.

Akechi too. I can’t believe they’re calling hi mthe detective of the century! Plus they’re treating the Phantom Thieves like criminals.

Wiseblood posted:It always bugged me how often they use the word "teammates" in this game instead of just calling the rest of the Phantom Thieves your friends. On the other hand, you don't often make "deals" with your friends, either; you do stuff for your friends without making a big deal out of it.

I'm a bit annoyed that Futaba's Valentine's day conversation mentions Kana, and Makoto's conversation elliptically references her social link ... but that Ann's doesn't mention Shiho at all. Ah well.

Her height, her hairstyle, but mostly her costuming; like Ohya, and unlike most of the female characters, she wears pants rather than a skirt. There's also the "go get married" scene, which can be read as just referencing her sex but becomes a double insult if she's homosexual. Yes, I know these are stereotypes. That's pretty much how coding works.

Even a stern lecture would be better than just covering for him! My guess would be that Sojiro, in his storied youth, did things that were almost this stupid, and so he feels a certain kinship for the protagonist.
