Always good to see proper, anime notation out in the wild

Using bullshit anime magic to invade the collective unconscious to incite Japanese political revolution is honestly one of the hypest objectives in jrpgs.

Back when I first played this and again when I read this let's play, I really appreciate Persona 5 in that it's really one of the few video games I've played that seemed to intentionally and strongly invoke the zeitgeist of the modern era.

I'm excited about seeing this last part of the game in LP form to see how much the writing holds up outside of its presentation.

All that being said, I'll always appreciate a jrpg going off the rails for the sake of thematics over a jrpg going off the rails for the sake of convoluted plot jank (barring Wild Arms 5 because that legitimately might be the worst written jrpg I've ver played in my life good lord).

Makoto and Haru are both v. cute in that picture.

We're going to get shanked in juvie over a cigarette because Sae can't do her loving job.
There should be a juvie spin off where you play as Maaku trying to make the ranks and everyone calls you "Fish"

My apologies. I didn’t mean it like that…

Nah, it’s fine. I hid what I was doing on Christmas from you, after all, because I’m a massive coward who uses my perception of your weakness to rationalize not being emotionally open or honest about my problems.
lol fuego

I really hope the next evolution of the Persona protagonist is to have more visible, specific flaws. I appreciate seeing how much character are in all of Joker's animations, but I would love to see them go further

and among other things used a woman's real life death for cheap drama.

Yikes man. If that's the moment that provides the thematic premise of the entire game and is treated with a deserving amount of weight (and tact!), that's one thing, but if it's just a single moment and kinda shoehorned in there...

I'm glad the P4 trend of wild rear end spinoffs is still in effect. That was probably the biggest charm point of the decade-long Yu Narukami corporate whorefest.

I wonder if The Royal will go out its way to make that cutscene with Haru in the car actually jive with the rest of the plot.

I'm half expecting that the new content will make the game feel even more disjointed.

Now that you mention it, that would be peak Atlus, huh? Maybe give or take some cast changes that don't jive well because of union issues too.

I get that it's not Atlus' fault, but Teddie just getting a worse voice actor in P4 Golden still upsets me to an irregular degree. He's already an unbearable character, he needs all the help he can get :ohdear:

Akechi and Mrs. Akechi's Mom go to iHoP every Sunday. It's cute. Akechi still wears sweater vests, and likes to get the meal with the two sunny side up eggs and the bacon so his breakfast is smiling.
