Serious question, am I the only one who doesn’t like Makoto? I found her to be pushy and bossy in the main game.

Serious question, am I the only one who doesn’t like Makoto? I found her to be pushy and bossy in the main game. ...And? Seriously, I get it. The only person I'd really side-eye is anyone dating Futaba because that feels sort of wrong to me. EDIT: Also, I'm pretty much on the final stage now so I just have a bunch of stuff to do before the end game. Really hoping it sticks the landing because man, it's been really fun hanging out with the gang again and I'm adjusting to the combat enough that I want to complete everything for each person instead of prioritizing that I did in the base game before you get the thing that lets you level up everyone at once. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Ann asked "Hey, maybe we can go abroad?" and DON'T TEASE ME LIKE THAT, ANN!

Yeah, I've romanced Ann and Makoto in my last playthroughs and I was thinking, "there are not a lot of non-icky romances after this." Probably going with Haru on my next playthrough since I felt heartbroken last time to turn her down.

The new version of Rivers in the Desert is epic as all hell. Just looked it up on YouTube. Holy hell this is amazing.

Futaba is really the only romance option of the main girls to feel "wrong" because of how much she's like a sister figure to you. It's not age because she's actually a bit older than Yoshizawa, but the latter is presented as much more of a possible romantic interest than Futaba was. I also really liked Hifumi as a possible romantic interest.
The most wrong-feeling relationships are definitely with the adult characters though. Eugh.

I'm still plugging away at the game, thought the second jail was a massive improvement over the first game-play wise. One thing I've noticed about the game itself is that the translation is significantly better than the base game, which was downright nonsensical at times IMO, but one really weird quirk is that they are super inconsistent about how they translate honorifics which kind of bugs me just because of the weird implications. It's especially noticeable when dealing with Natsume because a fan or Yusuke will call him "Natsume-san" and then in the next line his bodyguard or editor will call him "Mr. Natsume" and it makes me wonder what the hell language everyone is speaking which clearly is not the intent. Thought it was an unfortunate blemish on what has otherwise been a huge improvement in that department.

I need to get back into it myself. I've been putting most of my focus into replaying Royal and I've also been starting to edge at restarting Xenoblade 2 (previous attempt to play it stalled out at the end of chapter 2) so I've really only had time to dabble here and there. Fortunately on Royal I'm fairly close to the end.

So I'm pretty much at the last boss and, hilariously, the PS4 stops recording at the start of the stage which makes sense but considering how Persona 5 was for streaming and capturing on release...it's sort of ironically funny. In terms of the story... {Spoiler} I like it a lot, but like most of the other stuff in the game, you have to leave the last part of Royal to the side because it's written like the final part but replace Maruki with EMMA and the fact that EMMA is looking to do what Muraki most succeeded at doing rather than actually doing it. Like, it's a really minor thing and it makes sense because this supposed to be the sequel to base Persona 5 rather than have the Royal influences (besides gameplay at times) but it's there. Outside of that stuff, I'm still having a lot of fun. There's stuff to do in the post game even before you try New Game+ so I'm looking forward to seeing how it all wraps up.

{Spoiler}Outside of Joker, Lavenza, Igor, Maruki, Sumire, and I think the other Phantom Thieves, no one remembers what happened during the Third Term of P5Royal. Defeating P5R's final boss basically reverted that timeframe to how it should've been, with Joker going to juvenile hall (because that somehow made it easier for Sae to nail Shido and his conspiracy for some reason). Though I think he got out earlier than he normally would've in P5 Vanilla. So they're able to get their cake and eat it too by having Strikers not really acknowledge Royal but also not outright retconning it.
I still hope for some character DLC that puts Yoshizawa or even Akechi in (even if it's strictly non-canon in his case), but I'm starting to think that won't ever happen, sadly. Though maybe Atlus has more up their sleeve for the game with its upcoming Persona-related announcements.

{Spoiler}That would make more sense, sort of a way of not isolating either people who played the original and not Royal or vice versa. It sort of feels like it'd be too late to have DLC for the game considering how much earlier it came out in Japan but on the other hand, stranger things have happened.

I think the pandemic probably affected their DLC schedule as IIRC it was a big reason why the game was delayed as it was in the West. Maybe they wanted to put out DLC simultaneously for both sides of the Pacific.

I got the game today on the PS4 and having a lot of fun with it. Yeah, it's a Musou game, but it really feels like a Megaten game, too.
In a lot of ways it reminds me of a cross between Musou games and the Raidou Kuzunoha Devil Summoner games.
