Moe is using a double barrel shotgun, and yet he fired three times.

Are we supposed to assume that it's some sort of magic shotgun?

I sure hope that somebody got fired for that blunder.
 
That's the real origin of the Flaming Moe.
 
Spoilers up to 6/19

Makoto is a really good character. Her relationship with Sae reminds me of Tatsuya and Katsuya. When Sae chewed Makoto out over dinner, my jaw dropped. It was pretty brutal. Props to the english voice actors.
 
Okay, this is an early game thing you can name but I'll put it in a spoiler for others, don't open if you haven't played at least after the first dungeon.
what did you name your Phantom Thieves?

I went with a dumb movie referenced and called them "The Warriors"

no reason

Named em' the Cutthroats after I saw there wasn't enough space to spell Teddie Haters correctly
 
Don't have the game but my friend named it "BK Kids Club".
 
Spoilers up to the end of the pyramid dungeon. I gotta fuckin rant.

AIGHT, I'M STEAMIN. During this story arc we learn about Futaba and her Mum. Her Mom comitted suicide because she couldn't handle the burden of being a single parent with a child, so Futanari Futaba blames herself for this, mostly because her Mom actually left a suicide note detailing how much of a burden Futaba was on her. BUT DURING THE BOSS BATTLE WE LEARN THAT SOME FUCKING SHITTY PEOPLE FORGED THE SUICIDE NOTE. LIKE, WHY. THAT'S THE STUPIDEST SHIT I'VE EVER HEARD. There were moments like this before where my suspension of disbelief was spread a little too thin, but now it's gone. This game is just really nihilistic at times, it's silly. It's hard to take seriously.
 
Response to @BeatNinja
given how the SUI director references the Metaverse and how they say people were trying to steal her research, they make it very clear that she was forced into that suicide or maybe outright murdered. Its still a bit I'd a stretch with them using Futaba as a scapegoat, but it was certainly more than just in there for the heck of it. It probably ends up playing a bigger role in the story later.
 
@BeatNinja
Is it any more ridiculous than Kamiya turning out to not only be the asshole who got you a criminal record but also being part of this conspiracy that killed Futaba's mom and is responsible for the mental shut downs and all the metaverse shit?
 
It's like Codename:KND but it takes itself hyper-seriously
 
This game's writing as a whole needed an extra once-over. A lot of coincidence and lucky stuff kinda bogs it down imo. But its not bad. Has its amazing moments

So far still better than P4 and P3.

P2 still king, doe.

well I think Persona 2 Innocent Sin is pretty weak in the gameplay (slow and the encounter rate is waaaay to fucking high) and some of the dungeon design (i.e. most of it) is pretty trash. I'd say mechanically that it's still weaker. The EP's story is really, REALLY good, but I don't think it quite makes up for the issues that IS has...

Its got its moments. I still hate persona evolution being tied to social links instead of the story. Persona 4 also has more boring social link stories imo. Its good in the gameplay, but i don't think that takes it above persona 3 FES. Depends on preference i guess. I have to say i think 5 edges out with the improvements to social links and the far superior dungeon design
 
legit the only social links I remember in P3 are Akinari and Maya

that game is full of jobbers
 
Not gonna lie, I prefer not having your party members as social links. Helps force the team to actively give them roles in the story. I don't mind it as much in 5 cause everyone is very vocal and the boosrs you get from social links are amazing (though having to raise Makoto's AND maxing out charisma just to get the ability to see if your attack is nulled/weak/reflected is stupid ad)
 
There are lots of moments where a Confidant is halted dead in its tracks because you have to raise a social stat further, killing its pace. In past games, you usually only had to have a certain stat maxed out to start it.
 
I can't believe they're doing it all at once
I'm totally cool with a fighting spinoff because then I can play as Makoto. No loss there
But a fucking racing game?
Why?
 
persona money means arcsys can actually dub this one too
 
Unless they release it right before EVO or something
 
Yeah, then they'd forget about a story mode too
 
instead of like
Persona 5 Arena being a canon spinoff
why not just make
Persona Super Arena
a dream match
with characters
from all Persona games
please :(
 
like is it really too much for me to ask
for a fightin' game
with Eikichi and Baofu and Ulala in it
 
Shin Megami Tensei Arena

with Raidou

and maybe even playable demons like Thor
 
man i would pay real money to have Raidou characters in a fightin
lemme play as Rasputin
