I was wondering if this story would wind up being Vento Aureo and the similarities are already pretty striking.

Shame Maaku doesn't shift to having incredibly flamboyant blonde hair.

Sojiro is not as terrible as everyone else given he has displayed something akin to care at a couple moments, but he is being rather unpleasant.

Does Stella Glow count? It doesn't have the deadlines that Persona does, but the Social Link thing is there as well as the calendar advancement and free time allocation.

I haven't finished the update yet, but given that he's the first male friend and also pretty slow on the uptake, I'm assuming that Ryuji's Arcana is Magician.

In the span of about seven updates, Kamoshida has hit on female students, been implied to torture other students with vague cannonball-esque themed abuse, broken a student's leg, and stomped on a (not-)cat.

The main villain of this game must be a casserole of insanity.

This whole thing is uncomfortably realistic.

I could understand the teachers overlooking it because of school prestige or something, but the parents, too?

I'm not really sure what it is that needs elaborating on, but if it's Kamoshida's actions, I think it's pretty safe to say that his mental version of the volleyball team being them in bikinis gets the message across very clearly.

Also, I'm guessing that Ann's motif is a cat burglar? She's got some Long Halloween Catwoman vibes going on with her costume.

Having finally listened to the battle theme, I now know where all of those "You'll never see it coming" memes originate from.

Also, a team of Power Rangers would be pretty neat.

Though, I am a bit curious now, though, about Persona 6 given that this game already uses a prison cell as the Velvet Room location. Seems like it'd have been more fitting for the next game, which will likely be based on Stone Ocean somewhat.

It's a very bad mechanic because you don't always get a chance to shuffle your guys around to find someone to counter the enemy before they gank you.

Getting killed because you started with the wrong dude and the enemy got 2 turns and killed you – before you could do anything – enforces tedium when combined with the lack of autosaving before all battles and the inability of your party members to fight on while you're unconscious.

Reminds me of how Final Fantasy X gives you seven party members, but you get a Game Over when the first three in the party die. I guess the other four just sit on their thumbs.

I always thought Morgana was just being way too childishly crushing on Ann, and trying to act like a chivalrous knight and stuff.

Same. I think the fact that Ann gets a lot of sexual attention might be tinting our judgment a bit.

Morgana has one thing over Teddie that makes him better: he doesn't have Kappei Yamaguchi's godawful ear-bleeding high-pitched voice. Dear lord, that voice is enough to drive me insane. What makes me even more angry is that when Yamaguchi drops down a couple octaves (see: Usopp from One Piece or Tobia Arronax from the video games that adapt the Crossbone Gundam manga), he's a good voice actor. But then you get roles like Teddie or the equally ear-bleeding performance as Rattrap in Beast Wars' Japanese dub and you want to dive through the screen to strangle Yamaguchi in order to stop the bleeding.

Isn't he also L from Death Note?

Is there a reason that we keep flashing forward to Sae talking about the Social Links? It just seems distracting.

It's going to be even more jarring if she winds up being a Social Link and she pauses to talk about how a detective must have been onto him this whole time or something.

I went and peeked ahead after the boss fight, but Kamoshida's confession was certainly a thing.

"Hey kids, I've been abusing male students, sexually assaulting female students, caused Shiho to nearly kill herself, and tried to have sex with Ann over there. I'm gonna kill myself after this."

How do you even process someone coming in and saying something like that? I guess just that extreme of a reaction is why Ryuji is reserved about the whole thing, because holy poo poo.

And, again, Kamoshida would have killed himself over this.

Shadow Kamoshida said the real him would die if his Shadow did, so they just got the Shadow to feel guilty instead.

Something I think that went understated so far is how everyone defaults to Ann on what to do with Kamoshida rather than Joker making the decision as leader.

I thought that was nice.

It's also pretty nice how even though Morgana seems to have a childish crush on Ann, he's pretty quick at assuring her she's not at fault for attracting attention from Kamoshida.

Arist posted:

Huh? That’s not it. I think revenge is better served if I make him repent. Realizing what he’s done, he’ll grovel for forgiveness the rest of his life, you know? I just believe there are fates worse than death.
