Add me to the "got multiple copies to proc when crafting the Eternal Lockpick" club. I think I made that one during class and it ended up giving me three copies. I was super disappointed to learn that the Eternal Lockpick doesn't carry over to New Game+.

When I originally started playing, I had intended to romance Haru because I liked what little I'd seen of her in the previews before the game came out (I especially dig her musketeer getup), but once I actually started playing, I ended up going with Makoto simply because of how much sooner she was available in game and also because I found her interactions both before and after joining the group to be endearing. So when I had to tell Haru that I just wanted to be friends when she was very clearly crushing hard on the protagonist, I felt twice as lovely.

Req.Martyr posted:So, everyone has a pretty imposing cut in during battle. I still love how Akechi's cut in looks like it would be more at home in Persona 3 or 4 than among the Persona 5 crew. A subtle clue that he doesn't really belong with the Phantom Thieves.

So in the Japanese dialogue, rather than affecting a terribly fake British accent, does Ann just switch to English or something as part of her deception?

Personally, I think it would've been better if instead of being one of the people funding Shido, Madarame had just ripped him off with a fake Sayuri and Shido sent Akechi after him after having it authenticated and revealed as a fake.

Arist posted:As a back tattoo that should match the ink that dude already has, sure, it's not ideal. But that phoenix looks dope and you can't convince me otherwise. It doesn't really fit with the traditional Yakuza tattoo aesthetic, but it's still a sweet design that would make for an impressive tattoo.

I'm just amused that Shido's cognition of Akechi is that of a raving psychopath only barely hidden behind his "pleasant boy" exterior. In other words, Shido's basically had Akechi pegged for who he really was from the word "go."

Arist posted:
Christmas is generally seen as a romantic holiday for couples in Japan. Given the story arc for these two chucklefucks, I'm guessing that "Senpai" hasn't been able to score any dates recently, and assumes that his "Kouhai" has been managing to get lucky behind his back. He's upset because the Christmas decorations are reminding him that he's a dateless loser, and that he's going to spend Christmas alone. The other guy, for his part, has no idea what the gently caress is going on and was presumably just trying to talk about current events before the first guy snapped.

Hunt11 posted:I love the Igor twist as it takes advantage of the fact of a VA change to slip in a traitor who you could never expect but at the same time was hinted at since the very beginning. And it was hinted at in the very beginning: This line right here was the hint that something is off and this isn't Igor... because in the previous games, the real Igor welcomes you to the Velvet Room, and treats you as a guest, but never actually claims ownership of it.

Clarste posted:Yeah, it's dumb that you're not allowed to tell your girlfriend what's going on. Like, is there even a reason to keep it a secret? It's just so they don't need to write multiple scenes of the gang finding out. I was dating Makoto on my playthrough, and if I recall right, she actually figured it out on her own at the end of the date. Which makes sense, given that she lives with Sae and knows how her sister thinks.

Mishima's a good kid. I mean, yeah, he's a dumb gently caress up who tries way too hard and screws up a lot... but at least he tries. At least he puts himself out there and tries to make a difference instead of just giving up. He's come a long way from the mentally and physically abused kid who let everyone else push him around because it was easier to sit there and endure it than it was to take a stand. And he still has a long way to go, but at least he's putting in the effort.

Haifisch posted:Makoto clearly gets it the worst, because it goes from cool bike she can ride to transformer bike she can't ride. I disagree, because I like the clear visual symbolism involved. Makoto's inner-self goes from being a vehicle that has no will of its own and can only go where it's steered by others into being a free-willed, sentient being that's capable of thinking for itself and making its own decisions.

Ryotaro Dojima, Nanako's dad, starts off a poo poo parent, but gets better over the course of the game (his massive fumble in arresting his nephew not withstanding). Also, Hanged Man from 3, Tower from 4, and Tower from 5 also have parents show up on screen. And Temperance from 4 is a step-mother. W.T.

Yeah, Akihiko and Shinji were both orphans, and Junpei's dad was an abusive piece of poo poo, which is one of the reasons he jumped at the chance to join SEES and move into the dorms.

Personas 3-5 have a weird obsession with the whole "forbidden student/teacher relationship" trope. First off, you have Kenji and his whole "I'm gonna date a teacher!" plan, where you're required to encourage him to pursue it. Then you have the Hermit link, where it's revealed that "Maya" is your own homeroom teacher, and that she has a crush on you (though she doens't realize that you're the person she's been playing the MMO with). And then at the end when she discovers it was you the whole time, she actually asks you out before retracting it because she realizes it's inappropriate. Persona 4 appears to subvert this with Kashiwagi, but in the end, it feels more like the game is condemning Kashiwagi herself for being old and having an odious personality than it is condemning the idea of teacher/student relationships. Then come Persona 5 and your very first story arc is centered around a teacher abusing his position and his power over the students in a horrible way that makes it seem like someone on the team finally realized, "Oh, hey, hosed up power dynamics like this aren't actually cool or sexy and it's actually a really loving horrible thing." ... but then you unlock the Temperance Confidant and it's just... why.

Yep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3RE3Td77qo&t=65s That being said, later on in the movie, Jasmine attempted to distract Jafar by seducing him, and he seemed pretty into it, though whether that was because he was attracted to her or because he was just enjoying the power trip is up to interpretation.

Funky Valentine posted:On the other hand Sojiro didn't arrest Joker for dumbshit plot reasons. On that note, props to Sae for taking a kid with a criminal record at his word when she interrogated him and he offered zero actual proof that his crazy story was true. Whereas Dojima didn't trust the kid who had been living under his own roof and taking care of his daughter for him for over half a year by this point. This occurs even if you have Dojima's and/or Nanako's Social Links maxed out. Extra fail points for P4 Protagonist himself for not offering to prove his story by shoving his arm or his head or something into the TV that was right there on the table in the interrogation room. Don't get me wrong, Sae's still terrible, but at least she was willing to take a chance and believe in Joker.
