i played a bit of madou monogatari on the saturn, it's funny how it starts like a serious rpg like chrono trigger and then changes into something more lighthearted, it even turns into isometric from top-down, it looks like it might be a fun game so i'll stick with it for now

Sparked my first Benison and in the description for how to trigger it, it says "triggers the same way as other Benisons". SaGa ftmfw.

it was an optional fight (I think? I can never really tell lol) so I just went to the next zone. I'll find the benison again one day

please search your Steam friends list for a Mr. Spark Benison. mr benison's world is filled with spreadsheets and lengthy technical writing, and he has always had a knack for both. the only problem is that spark reads all of HIS lengthy technical writing on a website called gamefaqs dot com, and HIS spreadsheets are focused on leveling up, crafting fantasy equipment, and unlocking new magical powers within the pixelated confines of his computer screen. but Mr. Benison is about to face his own personal endboss, and no amount of grinding will help him this time. you can't cheese your way past a difficulty spike...... in the twilight zone.

Doing the sixth palace now and laughing at the ham-handed foreshadowing re the newest party member. I knew he was a skunk as soon as I met him at the tv station but they tried to sweep it under the rug with his confidant events. Can’t wait to find out what anime contrivance motivates him.

It was worse than I thought. gently caress this game's story.

Spoilers for the 7th Palace of PErsona 5: Just lmao at Futaba and Haru esentially forgiving Akechi after finding out their mother and father were killed by him. I wish you could call him a f*g while your party takes turns stomping him to death. It makes no god damned sense to feel bad for the little turd sandwich!!!

Lol. The tipping point for me was when you're all at Disney land and find out you all accidentally murdered Haru's dad and she's like "Meh." at that point I knew the script was written by robots and that it was all downhill from there, I didn't make it much further into the game and still don't know how it actually ends.

I basically have to finish at this point. I've palyed for 110 hours and I do like the confidant stuff and the battle system. But the main story is so amateur.

i am legitimately not sure if i've ever beat ff12. i THINK i have? i always stop at some point in the endgame getting espers and doing hunts, but the story never interested me enough to think that much about the actual ending.

If you maxed out the Councillor confidant you have a lot more to go in royal's third semester

But also the third semester is a way better ending to the game imo. that said if the group not revenge-killing akechi pissed you off then there are gonna be some times in the third semester that really rub you the wrong way

I maxed out almost all of the confidants, including the councillor.

the actual last boss is pretty fun tbh, the game veers into some big stupid poo poo that's kind of goofy. yeah though th writing in the last couple palaces are just trash anmd the original ending is the most horseshit thing ive ever seen. i feel like the writing was like two drafts from being really good and then someone got scared and said OK STOP HERE

You're set for the third semester then

my personal take is that I honestly wish P5R's third semester could overwrite the original ending entirely, it's a lot better, maybe because Royal had a different director than vanilla P5

my take on P5's writing is that you could cut like fully a third of the words from the script and not lose a single plot or characterization beat, it's just massively over-explained and over-wordy and badly needed editing

Spoilers of persona 5 sorry don’t read if you care about the story for this dumb game:


The funniest thing was the whole pancake thing that gives away the “heist”. Like I had it stuck in my head that Akechi was full of poo poo the entire game but the game is so loving long I forgot exactly why he’s a lying turd, then they make out like it’s this awesome Kesyser Soze reveal. Nope, game is 60 hours too long. That’s all.
