If the Ace Attorney games have taught me anything, it's that the Japanese criminal justice system isn't concerned with such trivial matters as "catching the actual guilty party." All they care about is that someone is found guilty and punished for the crime, to help maintain the illusion that the system works.

This is something that's bugged the hell out of me ever since I played this game - exactly what kind of merchandise are we talking about here? I mean, nobody knows who the Phantom Thieves are, or presumably what they look like... all the public really has to go on at the moment is the logo on the calling cards. So seriously, how the gently caress do you spin that into a profitable merchandising boom?

#Millennials’s popularity is still going strong. Merchandise of them has even been produced, and sales have been very good due to their appeal. With their popularity still rising, this Phantom Thieves boom will continue for a while yet.

I tended to do them in groups of 4-5. Enough to make it worth the time to actually go in, but not enough to drive me insane from the tedium of exploring for so long.

gently caress THIS SECTION OF THE PALACE. I ended up fighting every single one of those Chief Director-looking fucks because of the mistranslation and the obfuscated dialogue before I found the right one. Whoever was in charge of this section needs to get punched in the goddamn throat. Both the original and the localized version.

Lord_Magmar posted:This is the game about rebellion against society and doing what you feel is right even when told it is wrong or to ignore a problem. The previous games did not have that theme, nor did they have a female social link with a teacher last I remember. 3 does, but you don't find out that it's your teacher until you're partway through the link due to you meeting them and getting to know them anonymously in an online game at the start of the link. And you never actually meet with them in person for your link events, so dating never comes up.

Deceitful Penguin posted:That is simply patriarchy everywhere; the same issues are prevalent everywhere in the world. Organized crime and the human trafficking of women is omnipresent, but it definitely ramps up in larger cities and more patriarchal cultures. I think the general rule of thumb when it comes to ages in these games is that first years in high school will be around 15-16, second years will be around 16-17, and third years will be 17-18. Futuba's slightly younger than the rest, I think she's probably only around 14-15. It was easier to know how old everyone was in Persona 3 and Persona 4 because those characters had actual given birth dates and ages listed in supplemental material, and the events of those games specifically took place in 2009-2010 and 2011-2012.

Yeah, it's one of those weird things that's a consequence of the game design where they expect you to do the dungeon gradually over the course of the month and finish it near the end... but the actual most efficient course from an optimization standpoint is to just clear the drat thing immediately in the minimum number of required days, so that you don't have to deal with your various confidants/social links deciding they'd rather not hang out with you because the dungeon's not clear yet. So you wind up with situations like this where Okamura's Shadow has been dead for over two weeks, but he doesn't actually die until the deadline for Haru being given away. Or stuff like Futaba and the majority of the Persona 4 crew, where if you clear the dungeon and rescue them at the earliest opportunity, they're out of commission for like a month, but if you wait until the very last minute, they show up the next day no worse for the wear and the plot continues.

... Uh, Makoto? Remember how you were all just watching the press conference and expecting him to spill the beans about who's behind the mental shutdowns? Did it not occur to you that maybe... just maybe... whoever's behind the mental shutdowns might be perfectly willing to kill him to keep that information from coming to light? Especially given that pretty much the whole world knew at this point that he'd been targeted by the Phantom Thieves for a change of heart?

Kevos Setzer posted:Haru still has to tell them about the calling card in the principal's office. I hope they don't spend an entire day sitting around asking how he got a card when they never targeted him. Maybe, just maybe, the Phantom Thieves are being set up for the mental shutdowns? These guys seem pretty stupid, though. The team could use a Naoto to make "insightful deductions" to keep the team moving forward (read: keep the plot from stalling out because nobody knows nothin'). I try to rationalize it as them still being in shock over what just happened, and them not having the benefit of what the 3rd person observers in the audience have seen, but it still comes across as kind of a dumb question from the team member who's supposed to be "the smart one."

A close second would be the Yu trying to explain things in the interrogation room, and not using the goddamn TV that's sitting RIGHT THERE ON THE TABLE to prove that he's telling the truth. I mean seriously, even if you can't enter it all the way, you could at least shove your whole arm in up to the shoulder or something to prove that you're not full of poo poo about this whole "entering TVs" thing.

I would definitely put this as a top contender for best song in the game, and it absolutely is the best Palace theme, no contest. Also, I still love how Goro suddenly gets all excited when he finds out the calling card is a necessary step of the process and not just for the sake of theatrics. He's such a massive dork.

Blue Labrador posted:Whims of Fate is the best song in the game. I feel like it's flashiness comes out of nowhere relative to the other palace tracks, which also fits from a narrative perspective because the game has been one big build up for the player learning the full context of the in media res opening. This whole section of the game is pretty fantastic in its aesthetics. Actually, the eyeliner is what basically ruins her look for me. Everything else she's got going on is great, though. Robindaybird posted:I think I'd like the eyeliner if it weren't so thick, but overall I am digging the Goth Noir look Yeah, that's basically my problem with it; less is more, as they say. W.T.

I remember when the first Dissidia game came out in the west, people complained about how bad some of the dubbing was, and Kuja's VA actually responded that the only voice direction he got basically boiled down to, "Try to mimic the Japanese VA as much as you can."

GhostStalker posted:Wasn't Rise supposedly the "optimal" choice for vanilla P4 because she gave you a -50% SP accessory during your Christmas date, which you could use in the "secret" actually final dungeon? Golden added an additional dungeon with which to use said accessory, IIRC. The additional dungeon in Golden had the gimmick of locking you out of your normal inventory and equipment until the boss fight. Because it was done by the team that worked on Strange Journey, and they wanted to remind you that  hates you.

A Bystander posted:As far as I could tell, Naoto doesn't take corruption lightly. Coupled with the police stations that ask for her help telling her to buzz off once the thing's over to foster resentment and I'd imagine she'd be the first to blow the whistle at the first sign of trouble. Yeah, the whole reason she ends up joining the Investigation Team was that she made herself a target to get kidnapped because she didn't believe the real perpetrator of the incidents had been caught when Mitsuo was arrested, but the higher-ups in the Inaba police politely told her to kindly gently caress off so they could just close the book on the case and be done with it.

Arist posted:Gotta wonder how Haru manages to have a totally unique uniform for both seasons without the faculty complaining, but she pulls it off. I suspect it has something to do with a combination of having a kindly disposition and being filthy stinking rich. Also, I'm pretty sure that most of the faculty really doesn't give a poo poo about how the students dress, as long as they're wearing the basic uniform. I think the most we've seen in the way of teachers complaining about students not adhering to the dress code was Kawakami being upset that Ryuji keeps dying his hair blonde.

Nick Buntline posted:IIRC, there's actually more changes than that: the Rank 10 event does have him figuring out you're in the Phantom Thieves (same as all the others), and when the plot event comes up later it drops the equivalent lines about your membership and just focuses on "why did Futaba get a card?". That's not right; I very distinctly remember getting Sojiro's Rank 10 scene before the plot event where he finds the calling card you gave Futaba, and it stood out to me that he was the only non-party member Confidant up to that point who didn't figure out that I was a Phantom Thief.

It's the Persona 3 Portable Female Protagonist. After the next update, we're going to have a bunch of flashbacks to every major scene in the game, where it'll be revealed that she was just off camera the entire time and always piped up in conversations at the very end after everyone else had spoken.

Mraagvpeine posted:Thinking about it, getting a Persona means going through one or two of the 5 stages of grief. For the record: first is Denial, second Anger, third Bargaining, fourth Depression, and finally Acceptance. Denial and Acceptance go with Persona 4, Anger with Persona 5, and Depression with Persona 3. Persona 5 also features Bargaining. Pretty much all the Persona Awakenings we see over the course of the game involve the character's Shadow mentioning forming a contract or a pact for their power.
