The pancake thing was goofy as hell lol. The twists in P4 are kinda goofy too but they're handled a little better partially because the pacing is a hell of a lot better

i actually liked (knuc don't click this, it's the last good part of the plot) the bottom of mementos and yaldabaoth stuff. it's fuckin stupid sure, but the igor switch was fun and summoning satan to dome god with a bullet made from the deadly sins is some good stupid jr[pg poo poo. my biggest thing with the script other than it being too long is tht they should have given akechi a more active antagonist role from the start. like, end of the third palace you get a cutscene where akechi reveals the fat yakuza dude ws working for him and 5th and 6th palace he's fuckin with you directly while he talks smack about you publicly, then 7th palace is his instead of this random politician. they needed to really play up that he's your foil, that's what makes great detective/master thief stuff cool.

It tries pretty hard to make Akechi work as a character better than he did in vanilla by giving him an actual confidant where you have to actually spend time with him/earn points and stuff, though it does not appear to have quite worked for knuc The third semester (also knuc don't spoil this part) does a lot to make Akechi an actual character and more interesting foil for Joker by letting you spend time with him as he actually is. Not the fake nice-boy-detective Akechi and not the totally psychotic Loki Akechi, but the actual, extremely hosed-up-in-the-head kid that he is. And because he has the same wild card power Joker does, he's in a position to be proactive in the third semester's plot like Joker can and it's interesting to see the decisions he makes it doesn't really try to play him up as the great detective chasing the master thief, which I do think is a missed opportunity (why have a big "phantom thief" plot if there's no cool detective nipping at your heels the whole time?) but I think Royal does try very hard to salvage his character Harrow fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Feb 19, 2021 |

I know the genius kid detective is a big trope in Japan but it annoys me sometimes lol. Naoto in 4 was done much better imo

The main reason why I'm skipping Persona Strikers despite it being a dream game of mine (musou + smt), is because I don't like any characters from P5. they're all so incredibly lovely and forgettable it's insane, lol I mean I'll still play Strikers when it's severely discounted but the idea of going along with the phantom thieves for more epic forgettable adventures gets a major No Thank You from me

I wish there was an actual SMT musou, I want to have huge battles where I get to play as cool and weird SMT demons also even though I like P5 better I think P4 is great and is a much much better-paced game. It has one main plot and then every story arc actually advances that plot. P5 doesn't do nearly as good of a job of that and ends up cramming its whole plot in at the end with a ton of bad exposition Harrow fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Feb 21, 2021 |

Ann is sad in the beginning of the game because everyone thinks she's a dumb blonde bimbo. Then you do her social link and it turns out that she's a dumb blonde bimbo. Phenomenal character arc.

I was trying to think of the other s.links to clown on but I literally can't remember anything about them. Meanwhile if you asked me about the Strength s.link in P3 I could tell you most of it fairly accurately after 10+ years

At the end of Makoto’s she decides to become a cop despite the whole game showing how corrupt the government is and how power structures fail to protect vulnerable people.

The characters themselves are fun and there are little moments and gags which I like (Yusuke being poor, Ann chomping on potato sticks and talking with her mouth full, the councillor being an absolute buffoon and salting his students in the face or bowing into the mic, Ryuji having the poo poo beaten out of him by the girls after they thought he died etc). However the story payoffs are few and far between or just loving confusing. Aside from Kamoshida, the only story beats that stuck were Futaba’s palace and Ryuji saving everyone in Shido’s palace.

P5 Strikers isn't actually a musou game anyway, it's more of an action-RPG with a bit of musou flavor. The actual gameplay structure is much more like a normal JRPG with a linear path, dungeons, distinct enemy encounters that you start like you do in P5 with ambushes, things like that

About another 15-20ish hours depending on your pace it's really only the month of January that's playable and it only has one dungeon + a new layer of Mementos, but it's a huge dungeon and there's a ton of story

I might not actually finish p5...definitely wont do the extra Royal dungeon or whatever. I'm at the end, just "fought" a cup and went through the motions and realizing I was mashing through all the dialogue while peeping my phone. The bad guy is corrupt adults, not wait its one particular corrupt adult controlling everything, no wait its your annoying rival, no wait its society!!! actually, no it is a cup, no wait its Fake Igor gently caress who cares lmfao.

Lmaoextremebuff posted:sorry..but the game really loving falls off. i guess if youre an insane retard and enjoy grindy korean mmos youll love the postgame but, as sofia described it feels like a long con. you invest all this time and effort into learning the mechanics and developing a cool character and then the game goes "well actually youll be in a big robot and absolutely none of that matters" and the robot combat is incredibly simple to the point of being mind numbing, but you cant go back to being on foot because everything will take 20x longer
