[@TheLanguageSponge]

Love that you found your way around the Gallows limitation, Franz. I feel like I could hear the smile on your face when you were explaining the trick :)

[@AGermanSpy]

I was definitely smiling.

[@TinyZu]

23:23 Caroline is a little tsundere. Calling it now!

[@fell5514]

Why Padparadscha I didn't know you liked watching Let's Plays.

[@TinyZu]

That's not who you think it is (:3

[@fell5514]

It's just a semi-obscure reference.

[@SuperRayman001]

33:55 Yeah, blame Morgana for the fact that the MC is not a crepe person. If he was, he obviously would've been able to buy one anyway, no matter what Morgana says.

[@joelsasmad]

SuperRayman001 The MC is supposed to be an avatar of oneself so it's​ kinda immersion breaking if you are a crepe person.

[@SuperRayman001]

You could say that about every other thing in the game as well. "Why is the team going after that person, in real live I would've ignored him." There, you've broken the immersion, all the non-choices don't help it either. The MC still has personality that you have to accept, and not liking crepes seems to be a minor part of it and not just something that MC wants to do but doesn't since Mona doesn't let him.

[@Altair1243WAR]

I don't know about him being an avatar of yourself. TBH, the number of different ways each person could react to ANYTHING in this game throws that right out the window as being a viable option. Sure, some things you can control like which social links you prefer but that's about it Also, you can't really get pissed at Morgana's character for the outright instances where they bottleneck the player [like all the nights you waste sleeping]. It pisses me off to, but you should point the metaphorical gun at the actual problem, which isn't Morgana's character As a character he's pretty Ok, generally speaking

[@BetaKuck]

I better see you with 1 million yen next episode Pa....I mean Franz.

[@maelstrrom2824]

If Morgana decides I'm not a crepe person, maybe I'll decide I'm not a cat person

[@SuperRayman001]

He was asking MC if he was not a crepe person, and clearly he wasn't, since otherwise he would've maybe bought one. It's not like Morgana in-universe said: "I WON'T LET YOU BUY A CREPE NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WANT IT." Blaming Morgana for not "letting you buy one" is just stupid. It was MC's final decision that he wasn't interested, not Mona's.

[@AGermanSpy]

If it were the MC's decision, I'd have actually been offered the option to buy one... y'know, like I am at all the other shops that sell food.

[@SuperRayman001]

It was the MC's decision, just not yours as a player, you can't deny that, considering what Mona says. "You're not a crepe person though, are you?" That's a question, not a command. MC easily could've said that he is a crepe person and bought one if this was real life and not a game. Do you really think Mona would care either way?

[@jomadecano]

Nonono you don't get it, you don't get any crepes until they add the feature in Persona 5 Crimson, lol

[@dricsi07]

6:32 Ha! Tell this to my lvl 99 Arsen! XD You just have to strenghten them>Register to the compendaum>discard>re buy>strenghten again.

[@dricsi07]

Furthermore you can manipulate the stats that you recieve so I went for a pure Magic,Agility,Endurance build(99 in everything) and ignored luck and Strenght. And once I have beezebub I can give him megadolan and Allmighty boost&Amp. And with the Lock down I already covered hes weakness to Ice and Holy.

[@joelsasmad]

dricsi07 I plan on setting up Lucifer as my Almighty Blaster with Morning Star. I think Satan's Black Viper is passable through fusion so I'll have that with it for single target.

[@dricsi07]

You can but it won't be as effective as a low lvl character like Arsen because you won't be able to max hes magic to 99.

[@waywardchaos198]

Franz, regarding the beginning of the video about weapon customization; the weapons that are compatible with customizing is solely dependant on Iwai's social link rank. I am unaware to how dated this episode is, so you may have already discerned that. It is not every rank up, just the ranks that give abilities, such as baton pass

[@joelsasmad]

Personas powered up by the gallows receive a random bonus they show you in the menu before you sacrifice. Manipulating that random bonus will allow you to create ridiculous persona stats. You can make a super luck Personas that will give you absurd amounts of money with the confuse trick. I hear Sandman is amazing for it.

[@dandywizard1843]

3:31 I like how Caroline justs sits on top of the door.

[@golightly313]

VERY fast Franz sacrificing personas at incredible high speed!

[@DariathGestahl]

I love to come online and see a new episode online! Keep up the awesome work

[@daddyespressodepresso2207]

I can't wait to see how Franz reacts when he learns just how abusable the gallows are in terms of persona stats

[@Selecus33]

Interesting hearing igor saying something like "hahahaha this will be gruesome" when using the gallows in the English version

[@SpaghettP]

Isis is not getting as much Exp because you don't have the Priestess Confidant yet. Exp and bonuses are tied to that rank.

[@ZappaSlave]

As I've learned, and outlined in the whole "Max luck Mandrake" abuse, you can cancel/confirm which stats raise on level up. you get 3 points on one, yet what only looks like 5 points if you level up 2 levels at once. My experience was that inherited skills is random, but that's also trying to scum out my stats.

[@mareczek00713]

Aaaaand, 2 minutes after stopping and posting previous comments once again I learnt that great minds cheat alike ;)

[@Niksx89]

I believe they actually want you to use the gallows, since I think your personas actually get less experience per battle than they did in the other games.

[@mareczek00713]

I wonder how Gallows work in accordance to Demon Compendium - if resummoned Persona is considered a nee one we could strenghten A with B, resummon B, strenghten B with A, resummon A, strenghten A with B, resummon B.... And so on until lvl99.

[@postapocalypse0763]

It's amazing what you can do with enough money XD

[@ArispeMatt]

Now you don't need to worry about Gangnam Style Attacks. Betting on Spy seeing Invigorate Stacking by 63. EDIT: Also, Divine Judgment in the older SMTs was insane. Or perhaps I'm confusing it with a different Hp halver.

[@dricsi07]

And my Sui-Ki(mony farmer) is lvl 75 by now thanks to the galose.

[@fell5514]

Franz ffs the Desert Eagle is the Chad of handguns. It's mechanically interesting but nobody buys one because they just like the mechanics of firearms. And .50 AE is a ridiculous prima donna cartridge which exists in good supply within the borders of Raccoon City and nowhere else.

[@AGermanSpy]

Nobody buys a Desert Eagle in .50 AE for personal defense, no - they exist mostly for recreational shooting and (debatably) hunting, much like any other pistol chambered for that round. That's the point, and practicality aside, I doubt you could tell me with a straight face that you wouldn't love to shoot a row of gasoline-filled pumpkins with a .50-cal Desert Eagle.

[@fell5514]

You say "Much like any other pistol chambered for that round." But I am actually unaware of any that exist; it is a round created by Desert Eagle for the Desert Eagle, and it honestly has no practical purpose whatsoever. There's nothing that it does that isn't done better by a much cheaper and less unwieldy gun; including recreational shooting or wildlife self defense. The .454 casul round was tailor made for that purpose and unlike the Eagle, getting some practice with it won't cost you an arm and a leg to go with your sore wrists. I mean, it's neat I guess, but if it didn't exist I don't think anyone would miss it.

[@AGermanSpy]

My bad - I wrote "round;" I meant "caliber." I was thinking of cartridges like the S&W .500, which is .a 50-cal handgun round but is distinct from the Action Express cartridge of the same caliber (and arguably even more powerful and impractical).

[@metumortis6323]

You like revolvers? hehe your pretty good *finger guns*

[@MT-rh3bq]

soooo since Franz found out about the gallows exploit,will he do the flu reaper cheese?

[@joelsasmad]

Mister Torgue Flexington Boost up a Sandman for an excessively high luck persona that can do the confuse trick for tremendous amounts of money.

[@lionofash7700]

I can't wait for Strength 10 and for him to realise balance doesn't exist and swapping to merciless is actually easier.

[@MT-rh3bq]

Joel Sasmad money isn't really a problem for me,but now that you suggested that I have to.

[@AGermanSpy]

If by "flu Reaper cheese" you mean letting the Reaper die of Despair, that happened by accident when I took my attention off the game for a few minutes to check my e-mail. Serves me right, I guess...

[@MT-rh3bq]

A German Spy Yep,70k exp for just blocking.

[@astrith]

No Franz, Desert eagle is not a good gun :) Is a powerful one, that's for sure, but it has a lot of problem in regards to it's "insides". I was told by guys running the fire-range that I train in that the gun, and in their case they had 3 pieces available to play with, had had serious problems after 10.000+ rounds. The problem was that the firing mechanism was not able to deal with the .44 rounds power and it simply broke. Completely. Having said that though, the gun is very fun to use. It's like a hand cannon and kicks like a mule :)
