I would rather you do your shopping on camera just so that this series goes on for four million episodes and I can put the playlist on and pretend we're friends for the full lifespan of a beagle.

[@mushymcmushington7176]

Fell This. This this this.

[@AGermanSpy]

Who says we're not friends? :(

[@fell5514]

Sorry Franz. I don't consider someone my friend until they'll let me use their shower, and we just don't have that kind of relationship.

[@butterbean9354]

I would rather you do your shopping on-camera because of the point you made, in being caught up with your stuff and things, and also because I like to see the occasionally humorous item description or goofy names of the available items.

[@skyellis4329]

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm here for the constant knowledge drops with the gameplay being a happy secondary.

[@TheEpicWolf64]

Franz: "I... I not good math" Same, although you're likely a damn sight smarter than me overall.

[@Bishopn-np7ss]

Watching Spy's video without the prep work is like watching an action movie without the fight scene. Please keep them. It is an amusement to watch the over the top prep work

[@picturesofaneighbourhood5950]

I'm cool with you shopping off cam as long as you run us through what ever you ended up doing.

[@Sarrow32]

The moment he started talking about host clubs I expected Majima to pop out and start a sick ass break dancing battle while Morgana yells "That's Rad".

[@fell5514]

FINALLY SOMEONE LET ME OUTTA MY CAGE Persona 5 confirmed for Gorrillaz alternate history.

[@TheLanguageSponge]

I have seen both spellings nerve-wracking and nerve-racking, Franz. I had always assumed that the version without the w was American, but apparently both versions are accepted here in the UK as well. Your mentioning of honorifics is something I can relate to as well: several times I have unintentionally dropped honorifics or used informal verb forms while talking to Japanese colleagues. I speak to and see these colleagues a fair bit outside of work but I have been reminded several times about the use of honorifics and formal speech where needed. I'm not quite clear whether they're just reminding me for when I'm speaking to others I don't know as well, but I have got the impression a few times that it's to maintain distance where they deem it necessary. Which is fine, my Japanese needs work. Thank you as always for the LP and your hard work.

[@dandywizard1843]

3:12 the cat being perceptive for a moment, but then by Divine Intervention his mind changed...

[@MentallyStabile]

Peter Barakan like a fish in a sea... when there are any new signs, that is...

[@TheLanguageSponge]

Also to answer your question at the end of the video, and thank you for asking it, I personally would prefer that the shopping be cut and any major upgrades or related anecdotes be summarised at the beginning of the next video. If for few other reasons than my being sick of hearing Iwai's same two phrases all the time! Cheers Spy.

[@1ppo]

Franz continuing to ignore the mini-map. Good shit.

[@nickstor3420]

Had to look up what's that "crepe" thing is... and I gathered that it's just a fancy name for a thin pancake. And girly food? Seriously? What is this madness?

[@qwcew]

Nah Spy, Morgana just wants you to stop you from hand holding. Its too lewd for this game! if you plan on using a bamboo steamer, its a good idea to have something between the bamboo and the food you're steaming to stop it sticking and possibly taking some of the bamboo (have the food on a plate/bowl or on top of some butcher's paper).

[@andresarancio6696]

I mean Morgana seems to be okay hand holding the player. Maybe he would get jealous if anyone else told Peter what to do

[@viiranen]

all that crepe discrimination

[@IgnisDomini97]

I always describe Host and Hostess clubs as "emotional prostitution."

[@metumortis6323]

Ignis Domini that's accurate I usually just explain it as a dating club where nothing suggestive really happens

[@JM-nothing-more]

i'm fairly certain "nerve-racking" comes from the torture instrument called "rack"

[@ridleyroid9060]

I regret to inform you Franz, texting in class is fairly frequent even in a 3rd world country like mine.

[@maelstrrom2824]

Texting in class is pretty rampant now, as well as internet use. It's common for people in college to bring their laptops to class to take notes, but more often than not, they end up on the internet. Also, it's never happened in a class that I've been in, but some idiots have been caught watching porn in class.

[@joelsasmad]

maelstrrom One of the scariest moments of my life is when I was looking at porn the night before and brought my laptop to class. I opened it up not realizing one of those sexually explicit Nutaku ads had come up and I had to rush to delete it without being noticed.

[@MT-rh3bq]

maelstrrom phones only started becoming a problem on my way out of highschool.i never had a phone till after I graduated and got a job because poor as dirt. Can honestly say I was better off not having access to one or I may have turned out dumber than I already am.

[@wakcackle3555]

Egad!! I got out of High School right before beepers hit the scene. Cell phones were like bricks, and we had to use pencil and paper to play D&D. lol.

[@wakcackle3555]

Franz!! There's people inside those mascots!!

[@agni-kai132]

personally I'm fine with you doing shopping off camera, just as long as you do keep us informed. sorta how you do it with your personas but I'm also fine with you doing it on camera

[@apteropith]

17:15 You wouldn't happen to have a spare bag of sunshine lying about, would you?

[@dricsi07]

Texting in class is pretty common here in my university as well. Even I look up facebook from time to time If I don't get any worth while information at the class.

[@zacharywagner6054]

Texting in class is way more common than I like... honestly it really annoys me to see it. In one of my college lectures these 3 girls in front of me would send each other Facebook messages while sitting right next to each other in the FIRST row, right in front of the professor. No surprise: 2 of them flunked the class. Whoops.

[@AGermanSpy]

Sounds as though they got out of the class what they put into it. Can't say I feel any sympathy.

[@TinyZu]

Wau, Japan. Rude. Manly men of manliness are totally free to eat girly food. Dante loves strawberry sundae >:C

[@zoldator]

I dunno, Franz. I guess the amount of texts you get is relasted to how popular you are. So if you're a weeb and a nerd you can avoid the whole problem. Like me. Heh. Heh heh. Heh...

[@AGermanSpy]

Sometimes a man just has to make a choice.

[@-penta-1357]

That's not actually funny, it's just sad. I feel bad for you now :(

[@dandywizard1843]

Speaking of the character being underage, I would like a game where the main character is of legal age or becomes of legal age.

[@calebashcraft]

I don't mind if you do shopping off camera, just as long as you let us know what changes you've made with new equipment or armor etc.

[@BetaKuck]

No don't cut content out of your videos Franz, what if we miss some insight about some obscure detail you notice while shopping.

[@AGermanSpy]

No worries there - as a rule, I don't cut any commentary that's worth keeping in.

[@metumortis6323]

Something to note: once I heard that kohai was not often used as much as senpai as an honorific because it has a very negative connotation. i am probably wrong but I don't care. as long as I'm corrected that is.

[@Murkrust]

maybe going to the red light district by day is not the best use of your time. But those books do look usefull !

[@joelsasmad]

Murkrust Plus there's a shop that sells better plant food.

[@Northwite]

Hooters should be considered a host club. Lol. Girls in skimpy outfits with their boobs busting out serving you food? Sounds like a host club to me. XD

[@Sultan-wj3gp]

Do they sit at your table, entertaining you with witty conversation, and subtly ask you to order more expensive food and drinks? If not, it maybe something closer to maid cafe, but with different style of uniform.

[@Northwite]

To be honest I'm not sure. There is only a single Hooters in my city and I've never been there. However if anyone knows anything about the West, it's that a nice pair of "hooters" is subtle suggestion enough to order more expensive food. Lol. But I get your point. There is no way any true host club would exist in a Western country for fear of sexism lawsuits. No one is allowed to have fun in the West, and women who know they look good and work hard at staying that way are not permitted to use their talents to make money. Not without unyielding, unending stigma attached to it by lesser talented people.

[@SteadFast411]

Chalk me up to someone who'd love to see every statistical decision be made as you shop, Franz. I do get that this is a bit of a breakout series for you at this point, since not too many of your peers are touching Persona 5 on camera for fear of the copyright strike, and in doing so there will definitely be a set of viewers who'd find this monotonous. However, you did preface this way back in episode 1 where you warned people your playstyle is very slow and analytic. I'd fear too that the additional editing, and preface explanation of 'what' you bought and 'why' every time you shop off camera would become tedious for you.

[@messymessr]

I'd like it if you would shop off screen and sum up anything interesting that happens afterwards.

[@budabead]

Hahaha at 04:55 when you went "challenge you to a DUEL" you actually sounded like Yugi from the old YU-GI-OH games:~) Not sure if you still read comment on youtube nowadays... but eh:)

[@risktorise2103]

Maybe just show your equipment line up when entering a dungeon rather than show full shopping scene would serve the purpose .

[@ArispeMatt]

And here I thought it was because they didn't want you to be too big a crepe. However you do need advice on flipping the tool tables and talking. I'd expected at least a mention of the other stuff by now. And too bad you'll never see Morgana at his best. Probably. I'm taking my bet with myself now on when since 60 is approaching and I'm not hopeful. To 85 then.

[@ronygames5100]

I think you should focus on gameplay... when i watch you video and see huge chunk of shooping i just skip until i don't see iwai face.

[@AGermanSpy]

Yeah, I get tired of shooping after a while, too. Gotta recharge and all that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXKkaHlteKl4f9k

[@MelBrooksKA]

11:41 Yusuke misspelled "might" as "mite" and it's really distracting me

[@mushymcmushington7176]

MelBrooksKA Mite is a different word. He said this is a "mite" late. "Mite" meaning "a little bit". Sorta like "tid-bit".

[@MelBrooksKA]

Ah, I thought he was saying, "I might be late"
