Blooming Villain - Scramble - Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers

[@sacrilegiousboi117]

Theme of unintentionally soloing the boss because your teammates are suicidal.

[@DouglasDimmadomed]

Me in the Mariko fight because they all want to be her dinner

[@yoplait3256]

God, I'm not even past the first jail because I haven't had much time to play the game but I keep getting left to solo bunny Alice and I had to solo the key keeper guy before her too, is it too much to ask of my AI teammates to not follow me when Alice is doing the roll attack thing that only aims for the player? I almost had her defeated too.

[@phoenixflamegames1]

Dude the first boss was so hard for me because I was still figuring things out and my other teammates kept dying. You don’t exactly have a way to get them back alive either that early. Either Joker or Ann died early and I would end up without weakness attacks😖

[@fitzviandraduivenab2790]

Is there a hidden AI behavior switch where they can only properly dodge boss AOE attacks after you beat them? I swear i kept soloing bosses since crewmates all die to AOEs however, during replay fights they could actually avoid them. Either that or i have the worst luck

[@yoplait3256]

Alright I made it to Osaka and it's been fine ever since Alice, if you grind and actually swap characters a bunch to keep them away from the boss and use them creatively you can beat bosses pretty easily, most bosses have like 2 weaknesses by default so make sure all your characters are decently leveled and use the characters that seem to best oppose most enemies in the jail while having Jokers personas well rounded so you have atleast 1 of every element you can use in attacks also use the bond points to level up your SP and HP stats for everyone and get the Metaverse medic and Master chef skills upgraded a bit to make your healing items/SP items do more, and finally just get good with canceling strong boss attacks by breaking the shield thingies below their health by using skills they are weak to because it helps a lot. Edit: oh yeah almost forgot, cook like every SP item you can and buy food ingredients and recipes a lot because purchasable SP items are rare, curry and seafood saved me a bunch so far.

[@NombreGenerico89TF2]

Yeah, specially (SPOILERS) Konoe's backstory. Like damn, I know P5 first boss is a sexual predator, but Kamoshida was a sick fuck. Konoe wasnt a bad guy, he just needed to break free from his abusive father and he was about to die during that last beating.

Also, I like how cleverly Ango is written as a villain. Not just his cringey "writing" and battle quotes, but also how his armor kept falling off when you fight his dragon form--just to show how much of a faker he really was. It's probably because I'm self-taught as a writer, artist, and photographer, but it struck a personal chord with me. I certainly didn't start teaching myself all these art forms just to be a fraud, after all. Much respect to Yusuke for giving Ango that much-needed scathing lecture. Honestly, there are plenty of people in the real world who need that lecture, too.

[@PerfectKirby]

I also like how he starts out spouting cliche dark lord lines from his book, but as you chop away his armor, he drops the act and rants about his real self’s issues.

[@seanobrien276]

@@PerfectKirby Lots of people are like that in the real world, you know? Especially macho/tough guys; when something shatters their false bravado, the real person underneath tends to be someone completely different. Might as well put it out there: I've also survived a lifetime of extreme trauma. I didn't learn how to turn to others or trust people, so I had to learn to face everything myself. I've had plenty of moments where I thought I knew myself, but then something happened to force me back to self-reflection/improvement. I guess the main difference is that I've never had anyone support me through any of this, not even with scathing lectures. I dunno. Just more personal parallels, really.

[@yvreux]

Well said. I've just finished Ango's Jail and it really warmed my heart at how Yusuke handled it. Honestly though, Persona games dealt with those issues before and I got drawn into them coz of how well they handled it: whether it be issues with gender, identity, personality, insecurities etc.

[@seanobrien276]

@@yvreux Yeah, I get that. For me it's a matter of actual lived experience and having to face these kinds of things myself. It's also about seeing the big villains (i.e. Akira Konoe) who are people who basically went down a path I chose not to follow. It would've been real easy for me to turn out just like him and a lot of the other Monarchs/etc. after everything I've been through.

[@shadejakva9367]

Heck, the fact his very scrawny Shadow hides behind a cardboard cutout of an imposing suit of "Evil Overlord" armor, further illustrates his complete lack of confidence and faith in his own talents he really has underneath, and his awareness of what a fake he is. To me, Ango also seems like kind of an analogy to aspiring creators that choose to sell out to easily-marketable but overused and cliche ideas for quicker success rather then follow their original vision and what they truly want to create because of the extra effort and risk stacked against them, especially ones in his position who have a big name to live up to and ton of pressure put on them to succeed.

Y’know I feel like Blooming Villain fits in this game better. Cause in Persona 5, they weren’t blooming, they were already villains. These people aren’t villains, at least, not yet. These Blooming Villains, allowed to go down their path, will eventually become trash through and through, unless you stop them.

[@pianoguy222]

That's the point. A flower blooms when it's matured and ready to make more of itself. The villains are blooming because one way or another, they're no longer in denial. When the theme plays in the base game, it's because you're facing the true expression of their villainy, mask off. This is their villainy on full display, no longer hiding behind the metaphorical flower petals of a civilised persona.

I'm already a hardcore fan of Persona 5 and the Phantom Thieves and I wanted this game to come over seas so much. When I watched the announcement trailer with this song I was more hyped up than I was expecting. Damn I can't wait to play it, i already pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition so I can get it four days earlier.

One of my ideas for a prospective Persona 6 was a cast whose Personas were based around famous historical warriors/generals. Lu Bu sounds like the perfect Persona for either the main villain or a major antagonist.

@@dantemustdie00 i was playing Dynasty Warriors one night and I was like "Y'know, some of these warriors would make some AWESOME Personas".

[@pixelabo]

@@crisismoon880 doubt make people doubt so don't doubt

[@dragobane4728]

The thing is, P6 would have a different theme to it, just look at P3, P4, and P5. So I say, it will have a similar art style and soundtrack to P5, but stylized to its theming

[@Vipera217]

@@dragobane4728 that is true.. maybe it's about preference but for me, most of P5 soundtracks just beat both P3 and P4. Awakening > Unavoidable Battle Keeper of Lust > Master of Tartarus (though songs with Lotus Juice have a special place in my heart)

Soloing the boss as Yusuke with this song just makes me feel so damn powerful, especially finishing them off with a showtime for extra style points

[@seanobrien276]

I just finished the third major boss fight (Sapporo arc) and I gotta say, this remix really meshes well with the fast-paced Musou-style combat and all the battle quips from the other Phantom Thieves, and has a pretty climactic energy--pretty spot-on considering the events leading up to each of these fights. It's even better considering how difficult some of those bosses are (at least for me, probably because I didn't want to overlevel or anything). Always love boss themes that turn the hype up to eleven, haha.

[@tripleaaabattery8480]

Yeah I'm near the endof the game right now, first playthrough on hard mode. The very first boss honestly made me think hard mode was a bit much for a first playthrough but ive persevered and this game is so much fun

[@seanobrien276]

@@tripleaaabattery8480 I've started a New Game + on Merciless and all I gotta say is, you really need spot-on timing with dodges and such. The Pixies in the first battle can nearly kill you with a single Zio spell, and that's with your levels and stuff carrying over (my Joker's at 83). Not 100% sure, but I think some bosses get attacks/mechanics that are exclusive to Merciless as well.
