I think it's stated somewhere early on that it's pretty much a PR move.

No I get that, but Kamoshida immediately undermines that effort by spreading the rumors about you and works to get you expelled covertly even before you stand up to him. And given what a spineless toady the principal is, I'm a little amazed he didn't just have the power to nix the offer.

Lakbay posted:I missed it but why was the Shujin principal part of Shido's goon squad? What possible value does he have to him? It's made very apparent at some point that Shido has a myriad of goons in a ton of different places no matter how insignificant the position. High-school principal was what this dude got stuck with because Shido saw him as insanely expendable person even moreso than others. It is really funny the level Shido goes to try and cut off ties. Like if he had a cat that he could stroke during cutscenes ala Dr. Claw he would probably kill that cat too. Zore posted:No I get that, but Kamoshida immediately undermines that effort by spreading the rumors about you and works to get you expelled covertly even before you stand up to him. Kamoshida's not part of the conspiracy and even then they aren't desperate to have Joker be their star attraction. It just happened to be a thing that could boost the school's reputation if it goes well and if not then whatever a criminal turned out to be a criminal, whoopty doo.

I misread a preview somewhere and I thought the protagonist was getting sent to a school specifically for delinquents so I was expecting Cromartie High School: Persona edition and hoo boy was I wrong

Honestly if you want an example of bad writing the SIU Director existing only for the sake of cackling about the Conspiracy and Madarame and Kaneshiro having stakes in the conspiracy too despite it being such a loving nothing aspect to both of them is one of them.

ChaosArgate posted:I honestly thought the same, and I went in mostly blind. Considering Makoto and Haru both attend, it's gotta be one of the better off schools. If you eavesdrop on the students, I believe the first years on the third floor, they explicitly state that Shujin is a relatively prestigious college prep academy. This is where Sae came out from, after all, and why she is putting Makoto through it. Ryuji is likely there because his single mother is paying for him to have a better chance/future, likewise with Ann and her rich fashion designer parents, despite neither being high-achievers academically. Heck, Ryuji in middle school was a track star, and was probably recruited based on that as before his first-year the track team was more front and center than the volleyball team.

Josuke Higashikata posted:"The only thing I can remember about the dude who stitched me up and gave me a bogus criminal record is a really vague recollection of his voice." That honestly isn't that unrealistic. It was night, Shido specifically got his name pulled from the proceedings and then Joker had a several month gap where his life was completely upended at least twice before he encountered the guy in a completely different setting. It would have worked better if he never realized it and they pieced it together in March after his release tbh.

When Goro was first introduced I thought he was Sae and Makoto's brother or something given they all have the same eye color....What does that mean!????? What secret lore needs to be uncovered?

Goro and Sae kissed and had a baby called Makoto who went through time to become 17 years old at the same time her dad Goro was 17 because she has a motorbike persona.

I didn't mind Kaneshiro having connections to Shido. It made sense to me that a criminal would want connections to politics, and the opposite could be handy. Madarame's connection was completely pointless though.

I want a Sae spinoff where we see just how soul crushing it is to be a defense attorney in a country with a 99% conviction rate. Also so I can see Sae's sick matching motorcycle persona.

It's more that there's no point to it and Shido already has a billion other connections to other dudes of wealth funding his campaign and Kaneshiro only ever has a point of connection for the sake of acknowledging Black Mask's existence more. He is not a character so much as he is a construct of contrivance for the third storyline and the connection to the conspiracy to try and make that less so comes off as a really poor way of doing so.

Am I just misremembering poo poo, because I could've sworn Loki was Kandori's Persona (or that Nyarlahotep was pretending to be it) at some point in Persona 1 like when you first fight him or whatever, but I can't find evidence of it anywhere on SMT Wiki or anything

Persona 5 is the most full throated endorsement of anarchism I have ever seen in a work of fiction and the main characters are losers for working within the system instead of against it just because they lost their magic powers

The amount of dickishness on display in this game is so egregious and over the top that if it came out in 2015 or early 2016 it would be laughable. But it came out in 2017, so it just felt like the worst slice of life.

I get it, Tanonaka's voice was godlike, but let the cartoon old man talk more in 2017.

I spent the whole game scratching my head. "That isn't what Igor sounds like is it? I don't remember, Persona 4 came out almost a decade ago." "You know, his assistants this time around are kinda mean, maybe it's just part of the prison motif." "Wait, execute me? Dafuq, this is very out of character." Reveal. "Well poo poo." Of course I also spent half the game thinking Philemon was going to show up. "Look, Larvesta or whatever your name is. You don't get to be a butterfly in Persona. There is only one butterfly in Persona and you are not it." ChrisBTY fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Apr 18, 2017 |
