Arist posted:And I've been leaning towards not voting but I might honestly do a vote to decide if there will be a vote because I don't know anymore. Despite all my kvetching Kawakami isn't even the one I would veto if you guys picked it though. Just romance everyone. The scene you get for it is pretty great.

I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

I'd say have a vote but also reserve the right to veto if certain characters win (don't tell us which!). Of course I'm a fan of joke votes in these LPs so seeing some horrible option winning and Arist being aghast before bringing down the gavel seems like the best possible outcome, maybe that's not the same for everybody. Also for anyone who really wants to see certain things that might not appear in the LP you can find almost anything persona 5 on youtube, particularly for romance options. Just be resilient and wait for after the LP is over to see what you missed though, cause youtube is always full of spoilers as well.

Arist posted:I'd prefer you didn't. Talking about characters' stat growth seems fine, but getting into their entire skill tree is a little much imo. I guess I'll just talk about that when we're near endgame because most of what I wanted to get in to was what skills each character got (or in some cases, didn't get, Yusuke!  )As for voting, I'd say yeah, the thread should be allowed to at least push for a certain girl to be romanced. I'm only saying that because Good Boy isn't an option though. Also, I don't think we should go for the "date everyone" option simply because that runs the risk of leaving Arist shortchanged on time that could be spent doing Mementos or building up more useful or higher priority Confidants.

I though you were going to romance Ann, since you've been levelling up her confidant for the past few updates. Please don't date everyone. That scene can be seen on youtube if anyone is curious.

Part 56: 6/25: The Nice Meltdown There’s some important news coming at the end of this update, everyone. Just read normally, you’ll understand in time. Music: Tokyo Emergency  First things first, we need some stuff from Takemi. Music: Butterfly Kiss   Some of these will greatly increase our survivability, but they’re not the only reason we’re here.   No, the main reason we came to the clinic is for SP Adhesive 3. If you don’t remember what this does, it gives us Invigorate 3, which restores 7 SP per turn on whoever has it equipped. We were only going to buy one of these, but considering that we have yet to actually incur the massive expense we went to Mementos to save up for due to the Palace visit getting pushed up, we can afford to buy two while still having plenty left over. Since the end goal is to have four of these, one for every active party member, we might as well buy a second one now. We’ll stick one on ourselves and give the other to Makoto. Music: Tokyo Emergency  Now, it’s time to head to the Palace.  Music: Price   You all were using code names, weren’t you? You’re quite perceptive. This time’s a hard one… Maybe somethin’ like “Shoulder Pads”? Why in the world did you focus on that…? I refuse to be called that. What about “Rider”? Sounds too much like a smuggler. Next. “Fixer”? I’m not a mastermind though. Next. Won’t you give me something better to work with? She reminds me of an empress. You got anything, Joker? Whoa, I totally see it! It fits so well that I’m at a loss for words here. Queen… It has a nice ring to it. I like it. Let’s go with that. Now then, could you explain to me the strategy for this mission? ...Strategy? This is approaching Naoto levels of not understanding that we’re all idiots. Uhh… We pretty much look around the area, I provide navigation when needed, and then… If we run into Shadows, we beat the poo poo outta ‘em! Very well then. I feel like I’ll be useful for sure. It seems my role is to be the brain of this team. I’ll analyze Mona’s information and give out orders. Any objections? I bet Skull’s definitely the type that’ll be under a girl’s thumb. Mona, will you begin navigating us? Him too, it seems... Apparently we are acknowledged as customers who can be extorted. ...That’s fine. We can take advantage of his negligence. Though I will say, it’s a little scary every time. Approaching the front door reveals that it is impassable. It seems as though they didn’t want to leave that gaping hole... But… we can’t get in now... Sorry… I… think I might have taken it a little too far... That’s right. We would have been in serious danger had it not been for Queen’s actions. Th-Thanks... The details are no longer important. Let us search for a new infiltration point, Joker. Let’s examine this suspicious pig statue.  Wait. I can feel a draft coming from underneath the statue… Doesn’t this seem strange to you, Joker? ...Especially that placard. I wonder why it looks so odd. Why don’t we check it out?  The statue moves, and that weird Legend of Zelda chime plays again.  Let’s head inside… After we’re adequately prepared, of course.  I don’t remember seeing this place last time… Just where exactly are we…? There has to be a map somewhere. For now, let’s try to explore and search for the Treasure. We don’t got any business with reception anymore, right? Let’s try attackin’ some new places! That should be OK, but there will be a lot of enemies. Try to be careful, OK? These Nekomata are weak to Electricity and use Wind and Physical.  High Pixies are weak to Gun and Nuclear, and like to put party members to sleep, heal, and use Wind.  An elevator arrives.   The Shadow gets in the elevator, and it descends. It looks like there are lower floors in here too… Hm, but that elevator is lacking a control panel. They probably control it from a security room. It’s a simple, but effective measure of screening. That must mean they really don’t want anyone going down there... Orobas is weak to Bless and uses Sukukaja and Fire attacks.  Angel is weak to Curse (not Gun, though, the first winged enemy we’ve seen that isn’t), and likes to try to instant-kill us with Hama and also blow itself up. Sure, why not? This place is hell.   I’m not sure I can handle that... Y’mean ‘cause you’re a cat? I meant ‘cause it might be quicker or smarter than other enemies! J-Just be careful, Joker!I don’t know about smarter, but these things are definitely a hell of a lot faster than other enemies.  In a second, they’re on you. It’s really important to get the ambush, because if they catch you off guard they’re likely to get the advantage.  This is Orthrus. It’s weak to Ice and really, really likes Fire.  We see the ever-rare hostage situation once more here.     Let’s call in for help this time, just to see what it’s like.  A true hero by the name Vitam1nB...   A shot from offscreen forces the enemy to back away.  Finally, we see yet another Oni.  One thing Makoto can do is sub in occasionally for navigation duties. It’s pretty neat. It also won’t save us here!   Oni still loves using Rampage! Now, fine, we just go do all that again and--  gently caress Okay, one more ti--  gently caress All right, let’s think about this calmly and approach this with--  WHY I’m not mad. It’s funny, actually. Just one more tr--  ha. haha. hahaha. hahahahahahhhaahahahahahahahhaahaghhahahahahahahhahahahahassdgkksdgdjkgfjksadfjkd …… ……. ……. ……. ……. ……. ...Nope, no more of this. I’m done. I’m not kidding. This is too much. All this work to appease you chattering imbeciles, but it’s never enough, is it? You think you know more about this game than me just because you constantly point out my countless grievous factual errors, huh? Well, maybe you do, but that’s not the point! You wastrels get off on this, don’t you? Persona 5 has no chill. Just because you leave on the wrong Persona multiple times and refuse to change your strategy at all between deaths, it keeps happening? What bullshit is this? This is the worst gaming experience I’ve had since my heavily savescummed playthrough of XCOM 2! And you realize I’m never actually going to finish this game, right? It’s been five months and I’m not even halfway done. This LP is an asymptote. I committed to this thinking it would be an interesting way to spend some time and get some e-cred. I never thought I’d spend most of my Sunday rewatching footage of me dying five times in a row in the first three rooms of this loving Palace that smells like butts and oh god what am I doing with my life. This isn’t worth it. Goodbye forever.

The front end of the bank is incredibly brutal, I feel you. Although you didn't get to its biggest dick move That loving safe room that only activates after to take out the midboss and there are a million enemies before it and then there's another safe room like two minutes away argh!

Well, assuming the bit at the end isn't a joke, that's sort of what I expected. I had 130 hours on my save at the end of my run, the amount of effort involved in LPing this (especially as a screenshot LP, transcribing all the dialog) is frankly insane. Good on Arist for getting as far as he did.

Well yes, the main reason I asked is because I tend to like to get confirmation for things, even when they seem obvious. This is the internet after all, and misunderstandings can happen easily, for example, the people who seem to have a serious response to the OP declaring that they are done, are they themselves being funny and trying to further the joke, or do they honestly believe the OP is "done"? I know from experience that people being part of the latter possibility is far from impossible. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

LPs can often make a game look easy. While P5 and most recent Atlus games are relatively decent about not throwing challenges you aren't equipped to handle at you, that doesn't mean they're any less unforgiving of mistakes as the old ones.

So you picked a popular game to LP, an Atlus SMT game, Persona for that matter, and you expected to get through it in less than a year? You have to be a master of it to navigate through all of it's tricks and traps to have a flawless playthrough. I've played through Strange Journey (twice), SMT IV, and IV Apocalypse, and before that, I've read through all of Luisfe's LPs from Persona 2 through Strange Journey. In SMT, you will die repeatedly, but your deaths have less to do with random chance than with poor strategy. You have to know your opponent's weaknesses and prepare for them. You're probably not stuck at this point, but you may have to slog through. You're getting trounced by Rampage right? Do you have any Resist Phys gear/masks/whatever this game uses? I haven't seen any Null, Reflect, or Absorb passive skills yet, but it's still early. Maybe you can buff your defenses? As for the know-it-alls, instead of getting angry, either learn or ignore them. It's still your LP and who cares if you're perfect or barely get by? Get some sleep and take a breather for a while. It's just a game. Personally, I'd rather see it completed, even if it takes you 5 years. We've had longer LPs than that and even longer breaks without content. You at least update fairly regularly, so I think your LP is going well.

Out of curiosity (and I'm not trying to defend the mouthbreather here), as someone that never played 3 what are you supposed to do there? Null charm accessories on your diarahan users? Or I guess using one Dis-Charm potion out of the 99 the mouthbreather had in his inventory.

Its quite hard to deal with it once you are in the fight and you dont know it can happen the first time around(I lucked out on my first run and never had the boss charm my healers, and that fight still took almost two hours) the annoying part is not being able to control your teammates (especially if Nyx avatars turn comes after your main character but before theirs, like for the first time he got charmed) thats thankfully something P4 did away with so discharm wouldnt have helped him but he got charmed twice that fight. he really should have gotten a nullcharm persona sometime during the game and switched to that for the fight after the first hit except his party really sucked, he was underleveled, and had no really good personas for anything other than damage spells. so he probably had no chance in hell
