The character that looks like a dead ringer for Wilson Fisk is up to something shady and possibly evil. I'm mildly shocked by this development.

Maybe this game goes into how he winds up in jail in that upcoming Spider-Man game.

I hope Sae becomes a contract, then it cuts to her and she's like "you must have known someone in the police, someone like me!"

That'd be neat.

She has a sister, too, so it'd be great if she's a Social Link as well.

Really, I'd love it if pretty much every remaining Social Link prompted some nonsensical dialogue from Sae like the last one.

Maaku can't be that Phantom Thief guy going around stealing hearts. He's wearing glasses.

I feel like a second battle theme that sometimes plays instead of the regular one would have done a lot to break up the monotony.

A surprise second battle theme doesn't sound like a bad idea. You'd never see it coming.

Well, the people who knew about Kamoshida letting things happen but not doing anything about it fits Sloth/Indolence pretty well.

I wonder if the guy Maaku is taking up public speaking lessons from will replace him later in the game after he's inevitably beaten.

Ann sure has bad luck with guys taking interest in her.

At least this one seems to look more like a potential party member/Confidant than Kamoshida did.

They lack jobs, security, savings… The next generation will lead us into the future and yet they have no plan for how to arrive there.

Despite his past, he seems like a pretty cool guy. How on Earth did he manage to keep his position after being caught stealing money, though?

We're getting close to a really uncomfortable section of the game.

I remember hearing vague details about this, but only just realized the context.

Cyouni posted:

Hmm, Sloth might be a good fit for this guy. Or Envy.

I have a weird feeling as to what 'uncomfortable section of the game' might refer to, and I'm hoping I'm not right.

Both sound like good choices. Doing nothing and getting rewarded for it or being envious because your own art sucks and deciding to steal others while abusing them.

If it wasn't for the abuse, I'd say this is a fairly minor thing for them to get involved in. Artistically it's dishonest and terrible, but it doesn't seem nearly as heinous as Kamoshida without the "I beat up the kids who don't draw for me" angle.

Chapter 1: A guy uses a threat of power to force a girl into doing activity with her clothes off with him that she's not comfortable with. This is played for drama.

I would like to forget that cross-dressing competition or whatever it was from Persona 4. I dunno if it's gross, but it's really unfunny, feels like it takes forever, and stops the story dead in its tracks.

Reminder he first fell in love with Ann when he saw Kamoshida's cognition of her, where she was literally nothing but a sex object. And only then because she was wearing cat ears.

That "I found the real Sayuri and will sell it to you" plan seems like it'd fall apart way too easily, even if someone did believe him. You don't buy a piece of art so that no one will look at it. Eventually people will start talking about how they bought Sayuri copies from Madarame.

Also, it's good to see Yusuke doesn't stay horrible.

I would've thought the "no nude paintings" line would lead to them sticking up for Ann, but it just leads to more 'wacky' dialogue.

Oh well, at least we can put that part of the story behind us and appreciate the fact that Yusuke has a pretty cool finisher wallpaper.

To be fair, Selina isn't really a villain in BTAS. At first. More of an anti-heroine with animal rights concerns. It's only later on that she starts getting into crime for the excitement of it.

More on topic, Caroline is great, though I have to wonder why Makoto and Yu get regular Velvet Rooms while Maaku is made their prisoner.

Yes! YES! The power of the Sun God has opened your eyes to the truth. Madarame is a pig rolling in a trough of money! By the name of the Sun God shall he be condemned!

I feel like this guy would make a better Phantom Thief than most of our cast. At least when he blurts out information, people just think he's crazy.

Meanwhile, I'm guessing our present party has at least five more instances where someone threatens to call the cops on them because they can't approach situations with delicacy.

After reading this update and the group explaining to Yusuke how to get to a palace using the nav, I went back to an earlier update to confirm a suspicion...

...and yep. The reason we end up missing half of our first day of school and almost get killed by shadows is because Ryuuji was bitching about Kamoshida to Maaku while Maaku's metaverse app got accidentally activated. The access words in particular were "Kamoshida", "Castle", and "Shuijinn"

Getting into trouble for getting angry and shouting stuff is basically Ryuuji 101, so I'm not surprised but I'm very pleased. :allears:

That's the kind of subtle writing I always miss but wind up appreciating when it's pointed out.

I would have expected this from Kashiwagi, not her.

This is going to lead to a Confidant, isn't it? I can't imagine what Sae will have to say about it unless the dynamic shifts from "My teacher is a courtesan" in some capacity.
