I have beaten almost every SMT game and know this shit all like the back of my hand but I will be damned if that okumura fight isn’t the biggest load of bullshit I’ve ever seen.
Beat it but damn that is an awful fight. Terrible design. Atlus is stupid as all hell for that one.

So because this topic has been quiet for a bit, there’s kind of good news and definite bad news;
Good News: The Persona 5 anime is getting an English dub with all the actors from the video game reprising their roles.
Bad News: It’s part of a Blu-Ray set with the Japanese original that costs THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS!
This seems to be normal for Aniplex but Jesus...

I’m a hardcore Persona fan, but I said no way once I saw that price a few days ago. They can take that anime set and shove it for that price.

The latest Atlus financial report said that both Royal and Scramble’s sales exceeded the company’s original expectations and Persona 4: Golden has also been a success (which you could probably tell if you see the Steam top 10 any day of the week).
Now, RELEASE SCRAMBLE HERE! PLEASE!

Cross our fingers for a run on Toonami or Crunchyroll I guess. No way I'm paying that much during these circumstances.

I had no idea Persona 5 Scramble was a Musou/Dynasty Warriors game. Huh. They better bring it over here, especially since it is an outright sequel to Persona 5's story.
I didn't have a PS4 until December last year so P5 Royal is my first time playing the game. I think it's my favorite game in the series yet, and I loved Persona 4. Dungeon exploration is so much damn fun in this game whether it's sneaking around the Palaces or ambushing Shadows in Mementos with the Morgana Catbus. Didn't think I'd love the cast as much as I do now, especially Ann and Makoto. And Makoto has the best freakin' Persona ever.
Really hope that the rumors about P3 coming to PC are true and it's like a Greatest Hits version of the game that includes all the P3FES content and the improvements made with P3Portable, especially female protagonist option and the ability to directly control everyone in battle.

Can I just say that the Sixth Palace music f***ing SLAPS?! "The Whims Of Fate" might be one of my favorite dungeon themes ever.

Also, the Makoto/Haru Showtime has got to be my favorite. And there are plenty of great Showtimes.

As mentioned in the Playstation thread, the game is now 25% off for the Summer Sale so if you haven't got it yet, get on that. Persona 5's been on sale a lot recently but this is basically the much-improved version and I pop in every so often in the Thieve's Guild to mess around with stuff.

I've been back to playing the game lately after having set it aside for a few months, in the leadup to the sixth palace at the moment.
I'm... pretty mixed leaning negative on the new characters / story stuff in Royal thus far. I like Kasumi and Dr. Maruki as characters, but a lot of the stuff with them really just feels very jarringly tacked on to where it doesn't really fit with the narrative at large and I feel like the game beats you over the head with the foreshadowing around them to a ludicrous extent.

P5R has so far sold 1.4m copies worldwide.
Which leads me to say, again...
GIVE.
ME.
SCRAMBLE!

Can I just say (post Sixth Palace spoilers): {Spoiler}{Spoiler}I love how convoluted and anime the plan to save Joker and expose Goro as the true culprit is. I've been getting a lot of reverse Light/L vibes from the relationship between Joker and Akechi, and that whole plan was straight up Death Note shit lol. I also decided on making Makoto Joker's girlfriend on my first playthrough, even though P5R pushes you to Kasumi a lot. But I can't help loving Makoto (her Showtime conversation with Haru heavily implies she's a pro wrestling fan which is amazing), and they have such a cute relationship in her Confidant chain and in the story in general. Was originally thinking about doing it for Ann, but I came to think of her more as a BFF type.

I went with Ann the first time and Makoto the second time. Thinking Futoba or Haru this time. Can't decide.

For my playthrough of original 5, I romanced the fortune teller.
First playthough of Royal, I romanced Makoto. Second playthough, I romanced Futaba, because I wanted to see if any dialogued changed when he acts as your wingman. Nothing did.
Next playthough, I want to romance Haru. I really enjoyed her confidant storyline.

I romanced Ann, Futaba, Kawakami and then everyone else where I ended up choosing Hifumi. Ann and Hifumi have the best romances in the game for me.

I'm probably going to do Ann, Hifumi, or Kasumi romance in my next playthrough. Romancing the adult characters feels weird as hell since Joker's only 16 or 17. And Futaba feels too much like a sister figure, though maybe that changes further in her confidant chain. Outside of the Joker ships, I ship MakotoxAnn, MakotoxRyuji, and AnnxShiho too, though. AkechixJoker also had some really big friendly rival ship vibes until, well, you know.
Kinda disappointed that it feels like I won't be able to max out all the Confidant chains I want to, but at least in New Game+ I can carry over all my maxed out social stats so less time doing activities to build them up and more time dedicated to Confidants.

FutabaxYusuke is mine. They have too much tension to not be a sweet couple.
