Kinda makes it nonsurprising when you then begin to do crimes when everyone already treats you like you like your steaks well done.

Are those pants about to turn out to be dress code? The MC having a unique outfit is one thing, but now he's not the only person wearing plaid.

resurgam40 posted:A question, though: why do some of you dislike the tonal clash in comparison to the other Persona games? I find it refreshing that we have three whole games now in which there is a discernible emotional thread... and I don't really see what's so wrong about the way it goes about establishing the tone either. I mean, look at the main character and his situation, and look at how the Velvet Room appears to him: no fancy elevators or limousine rides for Maaku, just chains and a prison cell to reflect the injustice done to him. If P3 was infused with moribund, existential sadness and P4 suffused with the joy of self actualization, the mood of P5 would seem to be anger; this is an angry young man we are in control of here, angry in the way previous Persona protagonists have not portrayed as being.* At least, that how I reacted, to the point I'm surprised and somewhat disappointed Arist isn't choosing the more dickish options being offered to him; due to the thorough unpleasantness with which everyone has been treating him, why should he be nice? The game just started and everyone has such a low opinion of you at this point that I'm not really bothered by Maaku-kun being a polite-ish boy and keeping his snide comments to himself. For now at least. I'm sure when we're not too worried about getting tazed or punched for starting a conversation later in the game, we'll be more free about that kinda stuff.

Shogeton posted:Honestly, I LIKED the intro. Yeah, it's very hostile, yeah, it's very much 'What the gently caress society', but it gets me in an ANGRY mood, which I think is very much 'working as intended' Yeah, I agree. It's going for a tone at least and I can easily tell what that is so I can't really say that I'm put off by any of it. (People think) You did a crime and now they're treating you like a criminal to some degree. I mean, they're rude. No one's thrown any garbage at you or spat in your face or anything so I'd say things're going pretty well so far. I can't really blame Arist for not being sassy with people giving him poo poo since it's probably the same direction I would've gone. I feel like at this point, if Maaku came home with his glasses broken and covered in bruises people would probably assume he did something to provoke that.

Clarste posted:I like that Ryuji first reaction to someone trying to kill him is is to tell Maaku to run while the enemy's distracted. Even this random guy we just met is heroic in his own way. I'm a huge fan of the fact that Vulgar Boy made an effort to defend himself and knocked one of those knights on their rear end too. That's the kinda thing I was really hoping for at least once in Persona 4 when people were confronting their shadows.

Show me your true feelings." I'm glad you went back and looked, because I certainly wouldn't if I had the game. It seems like the type of option that'd get you killed.

LordNagash posted:People are being pretty hard on Sojiro, maybe it was due to having the voice acting but he always came across as totally a big softy blustering about how TOTALLY HARSH he was gonna be and IF YOU gently caress UP YOU'RE OUT oh by the way you're in charge of my sign ok buddy? Weird, you normally think stories about people entering other planes of reality through televisions would be more true to life. especially the ones that have large mascot-like bears form human bodies from what was previously an empty void

Arist, thank you for making such long updates, because man do I really wanna dive into this game. It helps that it's kicking off a lot faster than Persona 4 did too. I'm sure it'll slow down in the time between getting your fourth and fifth party members though.

Blastinus posted:Oh, HECK yes! You can tell that they took the criticism of P4's pacing to heart, since in that game, it takes at least two or three ingame days before you even catch a glimpse into the TV world, let alone start investigating it. Don't get me wrong, I love Persona 4, but it is daunting to go back through the intro portion, just because it lasts so friggin' long. Oh yeah, no one ever says 'Man, gently caress Persona 4' because of the intro or anything but- like any game- with such a slow intro it's hard to work up the enthusiasm to go back and play it over again. It certainly happens to me.

MythosDragon posted:I completely disagree on the intro talk. Nothing helps an RPG kick off better than a strong extremely story focused intro, the vast majority of the best RPGs have em. And while this gane still counts, it desperately needed some slice of life stuff here to ease you in, if it wasnt for Shiho I probably wouldve stopped playing on a bad note for a while rather than finish the first arc and wait for the lp in an attempt to not be able to spoil things cuz seriously I have no clue. And maybe a more efficient calender. All I'm saying is that a long slow intro makes re-playing the game kinda unappealing. It's fine on a first go around, of course. For me at least. I've seen quite a few people try to play Yakuza 0 and having episodes about not getting to play fast enough.

Blastinus posted:Special shoutout in that scene goes to the kids who, discovering that one of their classmates tried to commit suicide, decided to pull out their phones and take pictures. It's the little things that really make you dislike the faceless NPCs that populate this world. It's also possible that they could be sending that information to friends and/or family in different schools. Anyway, wow is this game more immediately interesting than 3 and 4. Without even making the dungeon the part that you're most excited about.

Hunt11 posted:They really do a good job with Sojiro. At first he just seems to be another reminder that society hates you but as you dig into the game you start to see just how good a person he actually is. Also I never even saw some of the scenes in this update so I am looking forward to seeing what else I missed in this game. Sojiro- who I almost called Sakura for some reason???- just seems like a guy trying to be a hardass all the time but can't help but show that he's not in every single conversation you have with him. I feel like this dungeon expedition is going slower than P4 when it finally let you get up in there.

GeneX posted:For all that I have serious problems with basically the entirety of the game's first 2 arcs, the game absolutely nails Sojiro's characterization. It makes me wonder why him of all people. Whoever scouted him out as jailer for Maarku must've realized that his drill sergeant personality was just a weak act. I mean, it had to have been noticed. If the MC came to him in the middle of the night claiming he had a nightmare, Sojiro would probably cook him something his mom/dad would make for him as a kid. And if that happened he'd be liable to tuck him into bed afterwards.

Rangpur posted:I actually had the opposite reaction. Persona 4 takes it's time getting you to the first dungeon to an almost absurd degree, although you can complete it in one shot like the day after Chie joins the party. P5 lets you in a lot earlier, but they parcel out the initial exploration because there's more to it than in the previous game. I don't think we're disagreeing? I think this is taking longer to finish than Persona 4's first dungeon is all I'm saying.

Arist posted:I think I’d feel a lot better about Ann and her costume if this game wasn’t so drat thirsty over her. Yeah, I agree. Either tone it down or take it up to the point of comedy. All the party members keep hitting on her! Shadows occasionally profess their love to her. Some of your Persona grow stronger when in a battle with her, etc. Arist posted:

I mean, fair enough if you think her outfit is alright or don't find that enough of a negative to make you put the game down, but it's maybe going a bit too far to step up and say 'I stand with cheesecake' about the whole thing. I can only remember P4 characters so I wonder what the other party members are gonna be like.

The good take, and just comment throughout it about how an incompetent buffoon would totally select the wrong attack or heal the boss unlike a cool games master like yourself.
