Joker, panther, skull, fox, queen, noir, and Oracle: *Gets freeze frame along with name introduction.* Mona: *Gets knocked out by billboard.*

[@1aundulxaldin]

I always kept thinking it had some kind of symbolism attached to this idea I thought they were running with in the previous entry about how Morganna doesn't get the recognition he so desperately deserves for being the GUY WHO FORMED THE PHANTOM THIEVES from the ground up starting with Joker and Skull. You KNOW who the human characters are, but NOT the talking Supernatural Cat with a mouth, who can wield a cool-looking Sword, and has a bad case of unrequited love for Panther and was convinced that if he became human he'd get a shot at her. No, I decided, that entire setup with the billboard? For Atlus, Morganna is just some lighthearted comic relief.

Holy shit they remake the opening (from navi to oracle, from Persona 5 scramble: the phantom strikers to persona 5 striker)?? Dude I thought they wouldn't do that! That's awesome!!

[@NekkoBlue]

They sort of did that for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax's opening, where they changed it from "Persona 4 The Ultimax: Ultra Suplex Hold" to just "Persona 4 Arena Ultimax" but they didn't go as far as to change Teddie's name from his Japanese name, Kuma, so this kinda one-ups it in that case.

I think that the original opening was for the japan, since oracle's name thereis Navi, thatsthe west opening, and the boner is still ther eof how good it is

[@BOW-_-Miguel]

This is the Honestly the perfect intro, lemme explain. Persona 5 was elegant, it was simplistic but left something to be desired, more color. Persona 5 Royal Ditched the Red, White, and Black design for even more color, and it looked cool and the cinematics were great, but it was just too "colorful". Strikers Hits the nail on the head, the standard color of Persona 5 in the first half with a touch of color, and then when it transitions into the second half it goes into full color and it goes perfectly Edit: Most of this is gibberish

Derp. Red, black, and white was the color principle from the classroom.

[@Independenceday95]

@@Tstar-vf5tc dumb? Jeez, be grateful.

[@Tstar-vf5tc]

@@Independenceday95 don't get me wrong. I love the game either way, but I'm just saying, they could've saved some money or used the money to improve user experience. I mean, at the end of the day, developers want to give the player the best experience possible, whether it's graphically or story wise. From when I played the Japanese demo last year, I loved every last minute of it but from what I've heard, the Japanese smt3 nocturne remaster has lots of frame drops on switch, it got an update to improve it, but it didn't work so well, so they could put that some of that money towards improving frame rate quality. I don't expect perfection but I just want atlus to do the best they can since they're currently my favourite developers along with nintendo. Now this seems like advice I should actually send to atlus. Going back to what you said about being grateful, I didn't intend to come across as ungrateful, I've never been all that great at phrasing things so I didn't mean any disrespect. Also calling atlus stupid, was more so meant to mean stingy about putting games on multiple platforms, except for arena and strikers and smt3 remaster. By multiple platforms, I mean having the same games on xbox, playstation and nintendo. If you made it to the end, here, thanks for taking some time out of your day to read it.
