Since I was a big Sentai Fan back in the day I can say that while Grey Pigeons story does have some refence to Sentai 6th Rangers it doesn’t refence the Sentai that Featherman is most based on, Jetman had no 6th member in the actual show, in fact Jetman was the last show before the 6th Ranger ever became a trope, but the idea of being a human experimented on by aliens who gained his powers through that method brings to 2016’s Zyu-Oh TheWorld, being part of a villainous fraction and fighting their monsters at some point, as well as going away from civilianisation to stop a bomb that’s a part of his power set brings to mind 2004’s Abare Killer….. So in regards to the Featherman Seeker and Wakaba connections. I feel it doesn’t hurt Wakaba being a sympathetic parent compared to the other parents, the thing with the Phantom Thieves parents that are focused on is that they tend to be either actively neglectful or abusive towards their children, which Wakaba never is and if she did experiment on Akechi, Akechi isn’t her child. and even then then the details are different enough, like how sending Grey Pigeon out to take out specific targets that are on the side of said executive, using Grey Pigeon for her own ends to try to dispose of them, sounds a lot like Shido was having Akechi take out targets that worked for including allies as Okumura and the SIU Director and even wanting to become an executive is like Shido becoming prime minister, and since iy is a s metaphor we don’t know exactly how this relates to real life in Persona 5, Akechi being experimented on by Wakaba could be something he decided on. We just done know because it’s vague.

1:15 I know that's how some of the Bakugan video games worked. 3:41 So wait, not only is "clang" a verbal tic, but it's also an exclamation? 4:11 Ah yes, the pigeon, the most fearsome and intimidating of all birds! 6:10 Neither has Igor's. 7:28 _Is that so?_ 8:28 I'm guessing you're talking about Gary Stu? If so, then yeah, we don't need to worry. 8:57 Morgana is A Simp Count: 1466 (Gun with the Wind Count: 13) 10:28 Yes, Shido is SUPER trustworthy! Definitely! 12:47 No, trust me, this is amazing (for all the wrong reasons!)! 13:37 Well, this is interesting. 15:30 Oh yeah, this guy's probably in debt at this point. 17:28 Yeah, I don't recognize it. 17:46 Mmm, spring rolls... 18:48 Yep, that's putting it lightly... 19:08 Agreed! 22:17 _I cannot wait to grind him beneath my heel._ 22:34 ...I don't think that's how you pronounce "fervent". 23:43 Clever. 25:54 Nice. 26:13 ...That doesn't sound quite right. 27:16 Oh! Well, this sounds familiar! 28:11 Please write that, that would be amazing! 30:33 That has to be "approval". 36:13 Morgana is A Simp Count: 1467 (Gun with the Wind Count: 13) 41:29 Oh no... 42:18 Yeah, I'll be honest, I never trusted Osagiri. 42:58 Heh, nice. 46:54 Huh, that's interesting... 47:23 Hmm... I don't think I like that theory. 47:34 Yay, Persona 4 reference!

The P5R LP resumes! On the release day of FE Engage too! The TV cameo with the P4 killer was nice, and it's even better that it was specifically a TV cameo.

3:59 It really works for a Power Rangers villain. 8:37 And the freakin' jealousy mechanic in Persona 3. Why didn't they add platonic routes for the male protagonist in Portable... 10:11 I think this is also what changes Kiritani's dialogue. 11:43 You're welcome! He also comments on the Third Semester's atmosphere. 12:47 Keep going; it's great. When you know something's supposed to be intentionally terrible, it somehow circles back to funny... to paraphrase Dimitri. 13:12 They must be based on the Pokémon Generations Gabby & Ty. She had some serious balls in that episode. 15:38 I get the feeling he's related to Yosuke. 19:10 Who does that remind you of? 21:59 "Until death do us part!" ...and they still find time to molest young men! 33:00 I love it when hammy villains fail at doing legitimate evil, and just end up causing minor annoyances instead! 47:02 That's perfect! 47:42 I agree; Wakaba is not abusive. 48:34 Maybe Yukiko went to Chef Boot Camp? 50:59 Someone get that man his own dolls before it's too late!

[@BigKlingy]

8:37 I think it's toned down in Portable, but still no platonic male routes. 11:43 And yet Yandere-chan doesn't get any new dialogue. 13:12 Covering Groudon/Kyogre? I seem to remember that. 21:59 ...................... 33:00 Especially when they relish in it so much. 48:34 ...Oh man, I'm now picturing Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares coming to the Amagi Inn.

Welcome back BK! I hope you had a great vacation! Its awesome to see the series come back too. A bit off topic, but I was unable to pick up Fire Emblem Engage today because of my work shift, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get it. Hope you're enjoying the game so far! (Assuming you've picked it up already) Wow, it really has been awhile, I forgot that Morgana's confidant isn't maxed out yet. Which is bizarre since both Shido and Akechi have been taken care of. I wonder if this means P5 might pull a "party member was the true villain" twist, only unlike with Akechi, it will be an actual twist this time. Well, while the public now knows the leader of the Phantom Thieves is still alive, they still don't know who it is, to be fair. So speaking of Akechi, I took a day to mull over the ending of your previous video about his wild ride, where he gets to kill Joker in Vanilla P5 after you defeat him. Assuming it isn't a bug/error, maybe the "more sinister" thought is that the real Akechi truly died, and Shido found a way to bring cognitive Akechi into the real world to replace the real Akechi? That would be pretty crazy.

35:57: From what I can tell, Shido's campaign can pretty much be summed up as "Make Japan Great Again.". 39:30. "human bloodmeal". Holy s**t that sounds absolutely horrifying, even by Super Sentai/Power Rangers standards. Spoilers Warning for the next part. This is the first time I'm hearing about that Wakaba-Akechi Theory and that doesn't hold much water considering what we learn about the Metaverse and how he got his powers from you-know-who. Besides, I think that Akechi being Gray Pidgeon most likely references how he died in the original P5, and how he was the "Sixth Ranger"/"Sixth Ranger Traitor" of the group. Besides having Akechi being responsible for his actions and fate hits harder than some crackpot theory that tries to wipe the blood off his hands.

And with this video starting back up the LP, welcome back Klingy! Hope the vacation was a great one, hope you're recharged, and can't wait to see more of this series! 3:15- BigKlingy/10 Voice Acting. Also is this another reason why you were looking forward to playing this retro game, just so you could do more BigKlingy/10 Voice Acting? lol 5:51- Great. With it almost complete will you finally explain what the hell what you mean by re- 5:59- Damnit Igor, you jinxed us. And with that laugh I'm wondering if he was trying to do so on purpose... 7:40- Who even allowed that one to be a dialogue choice?! 7:49- If this is who I think he is, I can FINALLY place Shiro Asakura on the jerk NPC list with his name at long last. 8:55- Is it bad I'm head cannoning this guy as a disciple of Gary Stu and that was my first instinct after hearing what Ann said? lmao But yeah, on a serious note, you're going on the jerk NPC list Hikaru Arihara. 9:44- Wait, was it always a female host for the home shopping channel in this game? I thought it was a guy before. Was he finally arrested for all of the dubious things he sold on a public shopping channel? (Also weird they have a guy on the screen when it was supposed to be a female host on it). 12:52- It was BigKlingy/10 Singing. 14:17- At the very least, it would have been cool if the blue text was used once you knew certain characters were mementos targets/somehow connected to them so you can see their little stories before and after you take care of the targets. 15:41- Although it's this man's own fault he kept wasting his money on very reckless ventures, I can't help but feel bad for the guy when he's going down onto the ground crying about his luck like this. I get he's stupid, but seeing him suffer like this is saddening. 21:04- More BigKlingy/10 Voice Acting. 23:24- That's weird, didn't these NPCs have a darker turn in their subplot before? Feels like it was never a thing with these lines. 23:50- *Klingy indeed forgot and had to redo all of this. Xp 26:52- BigKlingy: *Some panting* We did it, we defeated Shido and cleared his version of the Diet Building. Nocturne: Good work, but I've got some bad news; You're going back in but with my version. BigKlingy: Wait what?! Nocturne: Bye! BigKlingy: *Cut off screaming before being teleported to Nocturne's Diet Building Dungeon* Nocturne: *Dials up phone* Mot, you're getting another visitor! 27:26 to 28:14- Anything I say about this will be posted far below to prevent P4G spoilers. 29:03- So this was recorded just before the Matador fight I'm assuming or maybe just after it. 31:28- Good old Hurricanehaon, still helping us even now. 33:27- This episode is really BigKlingy/10 Voice Acting the Episode. Xp 38:50- I mean at this point, it doesn't surprise me nor would it surprise me if people were avoiding the site so they didn't end up on a watch list for going on the website made to support the PTs. 39:50- And that's the 4th BigKlingy/10 Voice Acting in this part. Xp 42:55- Nah, the twist was quite obvious if you know your Sentai/Power Rangers stuff even a tiny bit; At least with the OG Power Rangers where the Green/Sixth Ranger was made by the villain to beat the Power Rangers. Only twist was not making Pigeon green and starting out with grey, which is closer to white, the color the Sixth Ranger would later get. 46:15- Yeah that was a fun retro game. 48:19- In addition to everything else you stated, I don't buy the theory at all since we heard NOTHING about Wakkaba ever doing anything of the sort. At worst, she was only busy with her work. I'm going to give the writers the benefit of the doubt and say they only made Akechi wear the Gray Pigeon outfit was to mirror his own moment of sacrifice he'd eventually make when he shot the door down to keep the Cognitive version of him and all those shadows from attacking the rest of the PTs like Pigeon did teleporting him and Ayla to the space station to blow up safely. I really hope the writers weren't trying to do anything dubious since it would be vastly disappointing seeing them do that when they did such a good job to fix Akechi in Royal. 48:54- At the very least, if this creep tries to go there, Yukiko can give him a verbal thrashing to tell him to go away like those jerk reporters in her confidant. That said, Pundit's going on the jerk NPC list just in case.Though, still nice to hear about her and how the Inn's doing well. 51:58- Curse you YT for stopping an amazing video title. Xp 52:29- Seriously, why do those things have to fight over that corner? Was there really no more room to place those decorations in here? There's ton of extra space between the couch and work bench and the work bench and the chair, why couldn't those decorations be moved over there instead? In other news not much. My copy of Engage will be arriving late as expected, but I'm fine since I have Tactics Ogre and Command Mission. For the former, just beat Chapter 2 of it, so I'm halfway through the main story which is nice (though given I plan to take on a lot of the optional content as well, got a long way to go to beat this game). And for the latter, finished up Chapter 3 last night, which is where after the high points at Chapter 2's end, is where I think the game certainly picks up and becomes more enjoyable. 27:52- I'm going to assume it might be a dramatization since none of the people on the screen look like the P4G Culprit at all. They all look too old and not as skinny as he was. 28:12- I'm just curious on how they would handle all of the TV world stuff if the Culprit tried mentioning any of that or if the show writers just made up/changed things about how he killed his victims. End.

[@BerserkerRohan]

Can't wait to see how the next part of the game plays out. Also dialogue related to Featherman is quite fun to read. I am learning that too thanks to playing Persona 3 Portable as well. Igor is still very sus. Joker is not Mr I don't care, so that is a weird dialogue choice. It is about time. I thought it was a dude as well. It would have been a cool feature if used more. I guess he really got punished for being reckless. Looks like they got over it strangely quickly. At least he is playing the version that doesn't have Beast Eye abuse. Those are some interesting things to think about. His guide was nice for this game minus some of the reloading I needed to do. Nowadays, most of the sixth rangers end up the metallic colours like silver and gold. That was something Galladeforce told me recently since he tells me what happens in Shinkenger and Kamen Rider Decade every episode that has a Sunday in my P3P playthrough since that is when Featherman is on the tv. It does seem like one of those stupidly crazy theories. The other corners are already taken up which probably doesn't help since top right has the bed, top left has the desk and bottom left has the boxes and stuff. Sounds like you are making some nice progress on those two and hopefully the next chapters go well for you. As for me, my copy of Engage did arrive on time but I don't want to play it because Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 is still so much fun to play so I want to try and 100% it first but it won't be easy. Basically, we need to beat every single rival and get all of the prizes and that is what I am focusing on now. Last time out, I beat some more Thirteen Devils and Kingdom Twelve. For the Devils, I beat Gloomy Angel at Ura Rokko who drives a Nissan S15 Silvia and Heartbreaker at Usuitouge who drives a Toyota Supra Mk4. Gloomy Angel is an interesting one since she is considered like the waifu of the TXR series which is weird to think about but she seems like an interesting person with their bios and information in other TXR games which is why I want to name my Alear Setsuko after Gloomy Angel's real name, Setsuko Kuroe. For Kingdom Twelve, I beat Gladiator at Ura Rokko who drives a Subaru Impreza 22B and Street Fossil at Myougisan who drives a Mazda RX7 SA22C. I believe I am going to try spawn some more of them next time I play so hopefully that goes well.

[@jaredfayette2567]

@@BerserkerRohan It's certainly be interesting to see. That too. It's fun to go through. Also fitting we're doing this now given you're playing P3P. That he is. Again, TF happened to him between P4G and this game?! So I checked and there's actually TWO hosts at the same time, but only the female host speaks about the items selling out. That's where the confusion came in from. True. His pain is his own doing, but again, it's still a sad sight to see. That's really odd. Wonder if the order was supposed to be swapped or something or it was for something else. That's really weird. Even though Mot's supposed to be fixed, there's a very minor chance he'll still do it as an associate of mine learned the hard way on stream. Hopefully Klingy doesn't suffer it. Yeah the reloads sound tedious, but other than that he's quite reliable. That's interesting to know. Silver I think I knew about before, but the Gold is new to me. Interesting to know. Yeah, the theory is quite dumb and seems to be a desperate attempt from the die hard 1A group mentioned in the last episode (and yes the Wild Ride video counts in the main LP Playlist for this game and that's hilarious). Again, I think Akechi's Pigeon for the parallels to their respective sacrifices and others have talked about other parallels that cause the two to mirror each other (both being used by someone to take out other targets as one example I read in other comments). Maybe I'm just bad with handling space, but even with those corners taken up, you could put some of the other stuff in the empty space in between those corners, like the area between the chair and work bench. Just wished there was a way to get them all to fit. Many thanks. Tactics should be mostly fine as I'm in that one forest dungeon again to look for stuff before continuing the story. Command Mission will be interesting since Chapter 4 has something that certainly makes it stand out. Even if you didn't play it, nice to hear your copy arrived. As for TXDR2, great work on progress like usual, even if the road to 100% might be tricky. Also interesting to hear about Gloomy Angel and how she is both with the series and how you'll be using her name for Engage. Best of luck spawning more of the racers you'll need to beat and for taking them down of course as well.

[@BerserkerRohan]

@@jaredfayette2567 It is fitting and very enjoyable. What happened indeed. That makes sense. Let's hope that doesn't happen then. Things got maxed out quick which is why I liked that guide. That similarity makes more sense to me. I wish you could have put them in between the corners but it is supposed to be a small attic at the end of the day. That will be interesting to hear about. It is still a long way to go but I made a good amount of progress just now which is good. All of the Thirteen Devils are a thing in TXR0 and TXR3 which is pretty cool and Gloomy Angel is a stand out for a lot of people.

[@ttme1234]

It's nice to have you back, I hope your vacation was nice! As for the bit in the planetarium, I tend to think of it much the same way you do; sure, we are microscopically small on a cosmic scale, to the extent that our actions are not impacting the broader universe, but to me that doesn't mean that our existence is pointless. Instead, it means that we get to choose what the point of our existence is, what the ultimate goal of humanity should be. It means that we get to decide our own future in our own corner of the universe--maybe no one else will ever see that legacy, but I like to think that the legacy is more for our own sake.

Too much effort when Attack Reels exists. Which is a shame, because Nova is incredibly overkill Ultima and it's really funny. 27:59 I wonder who will get the Izanami role in it.

6:00 Same goes for Igor's. But, again, that probably doesn't mean anything... 6:54 You know, Morgana's insecurities about being some kind of shadow monster who'd turn evil if he regained his memories, but him being willing to risk himself to that possibility if it means helping the thieves does sound kinda interesting. Shame this angle isn't really explored more. 28:05 That just reminded of a P4 fanfic where the IT react to a retelling of their story which is obviously just a Gary Stu fanfic written by Yosuke. I didn't read much of it, but I do remember laughing so hard when I saw that the Yu stand-in was a black-haired, glasses-wearing delinquent named Akira, especially since the story was apparently written well before P5 was a thing. 29:57 Same. Though the word I would use is beautiful. The same kind of beauty as in Buddhist sand paintings when they get destroyed at the end. I find that a very useful philosophy when it comes to making necessary losses, to think of them as something beautiful. I don't know if that's actually what it means in Buddhism, but that's how I've always seen it. 32:46 But they at least have others there to weaken the enemies until they're within killing range. 35:58 "Make Japan great again!" 36:15 Weird, I remember being able to do that during these hangouts if they're already maxed. Maybe you have to wait until doing something with them in the third semester? I don't know. In other news, I just got started with P3P and Fire Emblem Engage. In the former I got to just after saving Fuuka and in the latter I was just told where Micaiah's ring is. Some unsorted thoughts on both: - Some people were bothered by the visual novel aspects of P3P, but once I got the hang of it I didn't mind the lack of walking in the overworld. - It would seem that this game and P4G were translated in german by the same people who did P5R. And while the quality is noticeably better and more consistent, there are still the occasional oddly formatted lines. - I did like the question though where in class they asked what pan means in german and then on the exam they asked what it means in english. - When I first saw Bebe talking to a teacher in the halls, I was disappointed by him speaking completely normally. But then when I saw him in the Old Couple social link, I was so happy to see him go all in on the french accent. The translators seemed like they were really having fun there. - Thinking about it, I noticed that a lot of the SMT characters who aren't ethnically japanese fall into the whole blue-eyed blond image. Off the top of my head, there's Bebe, Lisa Silverman, Teddie, Ann Takamaki, Eleonora Yumizuru, and Ichiro Dazai. - Also, for whatever reason the japanese dub was set as the default. Don't know why. - I have a habit of grinding when I see a skill I really want. But it has paid off so far, like getting Ice Boost on Jack Frost and especially having a persona with both Auto-Tarukaja and Auto-Sukukaja at only level 12. - If you're having trouble with Theodore's request for the Juzumaru, I know I got one out of a sword card in shuffle time. - I am noticing some of the quality of life improvements from later games missing. Especially getting duplicate personas giving experience to said persona. - How do heart items work again? - Pulinpa is fun when it hits. - I'm not following a guide as I prefer doing things like this at my own pace. I especially like the Monday to Wednesday night part-time job at the cafe as it gives a boost to charm and guts plus 2.500 and later 3.000 yen. - Alear being called the divine one in spoken dialogue definitely doesn't get annoying after a while. - Say what you will about Fates but at least we've seen Corrin being a dragon by this point in the game. All we've seen of Alear being a divine dragon is their ability to turn on the rings and being able to sleep for a thousand years. We've seen more of their doomed to die mother being an actual dragon than from Alear themselves. - So far the gameplay is really fun, but I need to readjust my muscle memory from Three Houses. And I probably won't be able to fully appreciate it since I'm playing on normal until I get a feel for the new mechanics. - I do kinda miss all dialogue being voiced from Echoes and Three Houses. Especially since base conversations are mostly just one line per character. - I also miss Three Houses' feature where you could see where the characters are on the map. Though that does sound like something that'll be added in a future update. - I found it so funny when I realized that the villain lady with the horns is obviously voiced by the same woman who did Sae. But I also noticed that a large number of major characters are voiced by smaller name actors. Whether that's due to them wanting to give new talent some exposure or the most of the VA budget going to the emblem characters I can't say. - Speaking of that horny woman, I did find it strange when she said she'd never heard of Alear before when people coming to watch them sleep was apparently something of a tourist attraction. And then I realized how creepy that sounded once I thought it out loud. - I am so thankful for Bond Crystals being given to you anyway if you don't see all of the base conversations. - How do you equip the gacha rings? - Alear just casually kidnapping random animals from around Elyos is pretty funny. - I noticed a lack of S-Supports in the menu. Seems they might be moving away from that.

I just realised that Akechi and Shido up to this point were Twin Dragons becoming secretly wanted to ruin the other to become the big bad. I can imagine an alternate universe where Akechi kills Shido after you beat Shido. After you beat him because he tries to kill Joker he escapes. Then he confesses his crimes to the world to completely destroy Shido's image, ending the arc.

[@BigKlingy]

I kind of wonder if there was some alternate plan for Akechi to kill Shido before you got to him, and hijacking the Palace to the point of becoming the end boss of it.

[@frankieseward8667]

Now that Shido is finished we just need to do a few more things. Like Mementos targets. Hopefully the next several are simply just peaceful endeavors. It'll be interesting to see what will be the reaction of Shidos change of heart.

0:53 I'm curious if Ken, Naoto, and Futaba have played this before. 8:52 Gary Stu took advantage of Persona 3's jealousy mechanic for his own gain. 14:17 Makes sense, I think they just went with the texts for player convenience (because some of them could be a guide-dang-it) as opposed to something I find cool (also note that "instinct" is an unused stat, there are a lot of them in P5 iirc). 15:42 At this point I think he is just a sucker for gambler's fallacy. 20:13 I read that more as "be careful of Shido's men in case they come after you" since they may be looking to take Joker out silently with their leader in the state he is in. 23:50 All done in one take. No suspiciously specific denial here. Nope, none. Move along. 27:49 Given everything, I always interpreted it as (REDACTED)'s court trail, and the news is showing some footage released about (REDACTED)'s confession (I have always wondered what their punsihment would be, given the unprecedented circumstances the trial would bring up). 46:12 Never expected that plot twist.

After playing some game that had good story/writing(games being off and one shot) but had more slow pace gameplay, it nice to have something more fast pact.

6:04 I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not like we still haven't found what's at the bottom of.... oh. 10:32 To be fair, everyone's face is just blank and featureless with a creepy smile. He's not unique in that department. Headcanon is that this is how Joker sees most people, just faceless nobodies with clear sinister motives behind their fake smiles. 16:51 Pretty sure she doesn't. She hangs out in front of the school. She only stays in the station when Ren is "dead", as to not attract attention. 19:25 Even with research, it's really unlikely. Even Akechi, who's been messing around with the Metaverse for over two years couldn't affect more than one person at a time. 20:15 Even if they do, any attention is too much right now. Best to remain on the down low. 26:16 I mean, of you know how to use the Sphere Grid, you can make him one hell of a powerhouse. His only real weakness is the same everyone has where, once you've maxed everyone out, his Overdrives aren't as busted as some of the others, so he gets completely shafted. 26:44 You know you've just tempted fate, right? 31:38 You can easily find a guide that shows a picture of the complete puzzle, though. I know I found one very easily when I was first playing. 37:10 Yup, all the fat goes to her.... brains, which is why is she's so smart. Yup. That's exactly how it works. 38:15 Nevermind the fact that they know about the Cognitive World, making it much easier for them to ensure nothing happens to Shido. 46:08 Yeah, so, if you use the Featherman costumes on, Akechi's is the Gray Pigeon. Combined with the game, it implies that the retro videogame is directly referencing his fate. It's specially noticeable since the reason Pigeon turns on his creator is a sense of justice, i.e. Akechi's arcana. 47:44 I wouldn't go that far. It could just be that Wakaba was acquitted with Akechi, being someone who could go into the Cognitive World, and he helped with her research. It doesn't need to go as far as experimentation. Also, "pandering" is a pretty strong word. Just because you don't like that interpretation, any part of the game that even do much as implies some slight sympathy to him is pandering?

31:15 I'm... pretty sure the two optional crossword hints are swapped! "Electoral" is a type of election map, while a poll is a test of opinion. 48:20 As far as the Featherman game as a representation of the actual backstory goes, it's important to note that it's an unclear metaphor at best; while Osagiri and Alya are the same person in Featherman, it's completely possible that Alya was representing Wakaba's boss and/or successor, putting Wakaba in a situation more similar to Yukari's father in P3. It doesn't leave Wakaba perfectly blameless, but I honestly prefer that; good people can still make mistakes without ruining their "good person" status -- heck, Sojiro is pretty darn cruel to Joker initially, but he's still considered an unambiguously good parent! Even if Wakaba was experimenting on Akechi to try to improve his powers, I doubt she would have been doing so against his will, and I imagine she would have genuinely thought improving his powers would help him survive in the Metaverse... and just when she realized what would have been happening, she was killed for knowing too much. Likewise, even if Akechi _had_ been experimented upon unwillingly, that doesn’t remove his own agency and responsibility from his actions. Yes, certain fans love to use every scrap of evidence they can to woobify Akechi, but personally I find that to be a betrayal of both Akechi himself ( _he_ certainly wouldn't appreciate people woobifying him) and the game itself. One of the big themes of this game is _nuance_ and not falling into the habit of making assumptions based on stereotypes or thinking in extremes, but the fanbase as a whole really likes to flatten the entire game down into black-and-white thinking, which really disappoints me. ...well that was a bit longer of a rant than I expected to write today, whoops. xD 48:38 Hey, no, Yukiko's cooking is _fine_ by the end, as long as she's not cooking with Chie and as long as she isn't dating Yu. If we're going with Yu/Rise as canon, then the food at the Amagi Inn should be perfectly safe! 52:18 So I only just made a connection with several fanfics I've read; I think several authors use room decorations to imply Confidant progress even in fics that don't track them numerically! Joker getting the stars reminded me of a post-canon fic where he misses them when he goes back home, and I'm only just now realizing that that's canonizing the Yusuke planetarium visit within that fic! Now I want to get a list of all the room decoration sources to put on a sticky note to reference whenever I read P5 fanfic...

[@BigKlingy]

31:15 Huh, that'd make sense. And no-one would catch it since people tend not to care about the optional clues. 48:20 Yeah, I'm not advocating for Wakaba being PERFECT, just not for her being a willing torturer to make Akechi look better. 48:38 Actually, good point. 52:18 That's a pretty clever way to do that, though I wonder how they handle the Night Pennant...

He's a fragile healer-- why not give him a support option that sets him apart from the rest of the party at a moment that fits the narrative? Especially since, even here in Royal, he's a plot-based Confidant. Give the totally-not-a-cat a little something extra if you're gonna hold back his socialization abilities so much! 26:36 Ohhhh, is that where you -unlock Easy Mode- fight Dante/Raidou? 29:47 I actually had a brief existential crisis at like 14 over thinking of all that. For at least a couple of years I just couldn't stop pondering why existence is... a thing, at all. These days, I find myself growing more anxious about what actually happens if/when we discover actual planets and actual life out there. Humans can still barely overcome differences in body language and speaking patterns and other social rules with each other-- how can we honestly expect to meet with people from a totally different planet? Or is it going to turn out that all sapient life in our universe is just human, and those different planets will just look like Earth? 35:39 Good thing for Mona he's already black... 43:19 I can't say I remember any Power Rangers games or have heard of any Sentai games that have this kind of plot, but redemption stories and artificial heroes becoming true heroes _is_ a trend in the shows. 45:05 Nice, -Joker- Gray Pigeon! Just at the last second! 45:53 A common Sentai/Power Rangers plot indeed. If they don't get to outright join the team, they'll be destroyed in an epic heroic sacrifice! Not often that happens to the extra Rangers though. Hardly unheard of, but rare. 46:59 ...Oh. 52:06 Kinda funny that Futaba gets the uniform of one the frontline five, but she's not a combatant. ...Do her costumes even show up in battle? I don't think we've seen her in Mementos... 55:17 I'm also pretty curious. Best Power Rangers game I've ever played is Battle For The Grid, but that's an anniversary-ish 3v3 fighting game in-series crossover. Getting to control a character who's made up just for the game instead of choosing between the existing Rangers isn't something I think they've _ever_ done. I wonder if Featherman Seeker is some kind of odd wish-fulfilment for some of the Persona devs...? Plus, the Persona Awakenings in this game and Strikers have more than enough raw Sentai energy to be transplanted into one of the shows without much issue. P5 has a _lot_ of Super Sentai/Power Rangers DNA, honestly. Like, All-Out Attack finishers are, if anything, even campier than the usual "turn around and pose while the monster explodes", especially with everyone not only getting Ranger-esque one-liners, but also getting those text lines too, like Ren's "The Show's Over!" and Yusuke's "It was fun while it lasted. Goodbye." ...If anything, the game could afford to have a bit more Sentai in it-- As much as I like the team shots we've gotten, they really could've gone just a little bit campier and had the Phantom Thieves deliberately do cool team poses. Oh well. The Featherman theme is great, honestly. I had to watch it outside of the game to really appreciate it though. Once you get used to your Ambushes being accompanied by Take Over blaring to life, it's hard to enjoy any other song kicking off when you ambush Shadows. Songs like that are definitely best used for big, important, super triumphant moments though, rather than just regular battles. Man, this is exactly what I needed, and it's super fitting with Fire Emblem Engage releasing today, even if it's not quite Sentai so much as just early 2000s anime.

[@BigKlingy]

6:13 We're getting closer... 43:19 So it's actually accurate, then? That's cool. 55:17 Didn't they get many original VAs back for it? It also sounds like a good game in general. Since I don't have the DLC costumes, I've only listened to the Featherman theme outside of the game, and I agree it might be weird in actual battles.

[@thedaemonwolf1814]

43:19 Definitely, right down to the narration and the dialogue. The Alya twist is also _very_ Power Rangers. 55:17 It is. And they did bring back a number of the original actors, though sadly not as many as one might like. In particular though, Barbara Goodson actually came back as Rita Repulsa for her Promoted to Playable DLC appearance (sadly, the base game's story mode has a different actress for Rita). Among others who've returned are Daniel Southworth who brought some Devil May Cry references with him, and Johnny Yong Bosch, who brought less DMC crossover humor but instead reflected his change of heart concerning the association of frogs with ninja. I can picture scenes in an actual Sentai show where it'd fit, just... really not during _standard_ battles in a Persona game. It belongs more in scenes/fights where Will Power plays. You wouldn't suddenly start playing Will Power for regular battles, you know?

You say that, until Mot decides to be a dick and gives himself an absurd amount of turns and takes out your team. Or gets really lucky and never misses. Which both are options. A true crime on the Inaba murders would totally have some of the Investigation Team complain to themselves about how ‘that’s not how it went!’ And for the killer if he heard about it probably snarking about it in how it isn’t even close to how it happened or how his interrogations never even went like that. I actually had a friend who was told he was the Xth customer to a small family owned store, then another day went back and he was told he was the Xth customer again. Same number. Apparently. I think it’s a stretch to compare an in universe game’s story to P5/P5R’s story and characters and see there is a connection. Unless the devs outright state there is a connection I’m not believing at all. Morgana stop drawing out ‘I got baaaad feeling about this’. I don’t want to be reminded of the horrible state of Star Wars… Kill with eyes. Ah so you mean that one weird skill of Angelo’s from DQ8? And a skill no one else ever has in the entire series not even monsters. It would probably be like some of the Power Ranger games. Weird but kind of cool beat em ups with fighting game segments for the end stage bosses. Or it would just be a straight up fighting game like some of them were.

I will definitely be recording my first attempt at Mot. Right now, the Fates Sisters are destroying me, because I beat all three individually, went to save before the group fight, and IT RESPAWNS THEM. It was 11 at night so I was like "screw this" and went to bed. Oh yeah, the actual killer would probably be laughing even harder at the whole thing. That number thing sounds like it checks out. It's probably just a crack fan theory. Still, the similar speaking styles might be intentional. I don't think Angelo ever got that skill when I played. Though I was focusing on the "wrong" skill branches for most characters. (Except Red, I focused on Fans and apparently that's her best one. Free revival spell go brr.)
