Good choice anon.
Of course I dated Haru

Why? It's something that makes Ann unique and best girl.
>>378016818
I did. I'm on my second playthrough now andwill probably do it again.
>>378018001
Her smile is painful to look at, I'm filled with such a sense of loneliness whenever I stare at it for too long.
>>378017074
At the point in which I had a a few girls at RANK 7 it was essentially a 3 way race between Chihaya, Kawakami, and Haru. Makoto hated fun and jokes if you answered "BEEP BOOP" so she was out early on. Passing on Kawakami and Chihya hurt like hell man, but I wasn't going to be a fag and date multiple girls. That's something Akechi would do.
Could not be any happier with choosing Haru, I wish the rest of you anons who did romance those girls the best luck with your waifus. I hope none of you dated Mishima's girl, Ohya. ;)

No I dated Makoto aka second best. Best girl is Kawakami but it didn't feel right dating her. The whole point of her S link is getting her life back together and dating a high school student (one of her own students, no less) is the complete opposite.

Makoto is your loving wife who you're building a future with.
Ann is your bro-tier best friend who you share beers and have a good time.
Futaba is your overly protected daughter whose smile you want to defend forever.
Haru is your trustworthy beta orbiter, she's desperately into you but can't get away from your life. She's your emotional guidance, even if emotionally she isn't at her best herself.

Went out with her even all the way to Hawaii, then started to realize how dull and mediocre of a girl she was. Cucked her right away in the school festival with the girl that I had just met, Haru, and it was the right choice.

Is that from when you go up to the stage while hanging out with Ryuji?
>>378025365
Haru is a permanent arty member starting in September. Naoto is like in October in Persona 4. And Shinjiro is also in September. All of them are top tier characters despite coming in late.
What I'm basically saying is fuck off and contain your autism.
>>378023368
>Futaba is your overly protected daughter
I guess this is slightly less pathetic than the people who keep saying that she's too much like your sister to date, despite this being a thing that no one says ever.
>>378024675
Same, and after comparing Haru's and Makoto's confidants there was really no question in my mind as to who the best girl was.
>>378026924
Have a cute Haru.
>>378026546
I don't disagree but to be fair Naoto and to a slightly lesser degree Shinjiro interacted with the rest of the main cast long before they joined up.
Haru had nothing but barely consequential cameos before her arc. It's pretty egregious considering the first hideout was the school roof, where her plants were.
>>378027168
>Haru had nothing but barely consequential cameos before her arc.
Let's not forget how Morgana stole her screentime in her own arc because of his bitchfit. Haru felt like a fucking secondary character in it.

You barely see her around school before then too. I seriously get the impression that they thought her up halfway through development or something.

That's normal, Sae would probably benefit from a good dicking even.
>>378027590
Can you even romance Sae? How?
>>378027271
>>378027620
She doesn't really get a real welcoming event (e.g buffet, hot pot, sushi, beach) due to the plot going into shit goes down mode right after her arc.
If there's a P5 FES/Crimson/Whatever they really ought to fix the terrible endgame pacing by waiting more than less a fucking week after Shido to start Yaldabaoth so the group can have actual Christmas and New Years events. Fix that awful Hawaii trip too while you're at it.
>>378027816In Persona 5 the crimson for Nintendo Switch
>>378025310
This. Kawakami was cute but not the kind of cake I was looking for. Surprisingly Takemi filled that void a little better.
>>378027816
You can't. Sae is for unlocking TRUE JUSTICE with and not romance, evidently.
I've seen some people say that if you're single in the endgame you get a scene with her (still non-romantic) but I have no idea if that's true or not.
>>378027924
They can't, Persona 4 had downtime that could be expanded with GOLDEN without fucking up anything. In Persona 5 they wrote themselves into a corner because of Sae.
It'd be a massive retcon and you did get a New Years Event, just the biggest blueballs while you're in jail. I think they were going for "YOU DID IT, BUT YOU HAVE TO SUFFER" type of closure to send a message about the real world.
Im currently in a relationship with Chihaya.
I have declined makoto and I'm almost finished with haru.
What should I do? Haru or chihaya? I haven't been able to sleep for 1 week, this is killing me
>>378027924
Disneyland was supposed to be her welcoming event but that goes down the drain.
>>378028165
More like "your actions have consequences" theme.
When you fight Yaldabaoth in fucking christmas of all things you know the pacing is all kinds of fucked up.
>>378028165
I don't think so, if there's another month between Shido and Yaldabaoth it could progressively show how much the public is getting distorted. Sae couldn't put Shido on trial if the public was still dickriding Shido, so the timing for when Joker gets thrown into juvie is dependent on that instead of Shido's palace going down.
>>378028273
Yeah, that's why it's not a "real" welcoming event.
>>378028013
I've heard that going into the Shadow Sae fight with solo Joker features special dialogue with Futaba roasting Sae about cheating and then Sae just going straight into her second phase as a result?
>>378028469
They really forced themselves into a corner, they can't add anything between Okumura and Yaldabaoth without feeling contrived.
>>378028269
If it makes you feel any better, most girls in Persona 5 have an ambiguous response if you reject them. Keyword most. Haru and Chihaya take rejection hard. So I lied, telling you this wouldn't make you feel any better.
>>378028273
In Crimson Haru could be an early Proficiency gate at the flower shop. Her first ranks can be rewritten until it stops at 4 like Sojiro has to wait until Futaba in August to continue. Just an idea.

>>378028563
I thought Chihaya's wasn't too bad. It seemed more like she had suspicions of you and kinda entertained the thought but upon the realization, she's more relieved to just know the truth than being outright disappointed.
Haru's is just terrible. It's literally friendzoning her and she takes it that way, hard. It's honestly why she was the only party member I didn't Rank 10 on my first playthrough because I felt so bad for her.
>>378028724
Nothing. Her NG+ item doesn't do anything either besides letting you fuse Satan before completing her Confidant again.
I really don't like how her Confidant just jumps from 6 to 10, either start it earlier or make it so it ranks up to 7 on 11/20 and ranks up to 8, 9 and 10 later.
>>378028551
All of this because DUDE THERE'S A TRAITOR IN THE GAME, FIGURE IT OUT at the start of the game. And DUDE HOW DID YOU END UP ARRESTED story framing. All of this wrote them into a corner by the Casino AND it meant Sae kept spoiling who you targeted before you even knew them. It's mind boggling how so many pieces of Persona 5 make sense thematically (Confidants/contractors names, just about every Confidant helps your skillset in ways that make sense without feeling contrived, holdup and hostages, etc) and then you have the giant plot that lives and dies by 3 characters: Futaba, Sae, and Makoto.
If they didn't do the whole "you got captured, who sold you out" storyline we would have an opportunity to have Akechi and the Thieves have a 1-2 months of cat and mouse rivalry. But they can't undo any of this in Persona 5 Crimson because they wrote themselves into a nice little corner.
>>378028724
It means you've avoided the bad ending. That's it.
Maybe they'll do something more with it in the future because yeah it is weird. People keep talking about adding Hifumi to the party or whatever, personally while I'd rather not have anyone added and have more focus on the lesser used party members (Yusuke, Haru) if we did get anyone in some sort of post-game I'd like it to be Sae. Or Sojiro.
>>378028972
I'm sure they are saving that shit for the golden/fes edition.
>>378018913
Yeah, maybe when I too get superpowers of my own, I will.
>>378016818
Of course I did.
>>378028269
>currently in a relationship
Stick to your choice.
I always felt that the ruse cruise wasn't really about Akechi betraying your gang and more about how you actually pretended to fall for it, making the twist about your position in the story than the actual "traitor".
It does throw Akechi's character under the bus but that's why I thought it was way too obvious with how everything was getting too good for him. Kinda reminds me of a lot of Kaito Kid heists where the MC's fate is left ambiguous until the very end where it reveals how he actually duped them all.
>>378028796
Delete this. Haru is a cute.
>>378028839
Sae also implies that there's something more than meets the eye at how everything in the game was resolved. Like they were all pawns in a game. She says that AFTER the big climax and it felt...really outta place, like it was alluding to something greater like Yalda or if it was Yalda itself and she just didn't know. I found it just to be poorly scripted for her to muse about such things. And Judgment's "True Justice" remaining as question marks really triggered my OCD for ass long time.
There are a couple lines that stood out for me in my first playthrough that weird me out. Ann saying "I've felt like I've known Morgana for a long time, but I can't put my finger on it". Morgana's Shadow subplot alluded and then dismissed, it didn't help that the game kept asking you how you perceive Morgana as a cat or a human trapped in a cat's body. It's just, where the fuck were they going with these ideas and why were they dumped. I would have loved to see your answers shaped Morgana's human form's gender.
>>378025362
Who's this man? Tell me his story.
>>378029523
That's what most people seem to think. I'm just glad that the Phantom Thieves weren't complete retards, at least when it came to Akechi.
Akechi's just an awfully handled character in general. His motivations and plans are pretty stupid, but everyone seems to think so in-universe as well. It's just that his edgelord side and entire backstory is just dumped on you in a single chunk of dialogue and the only foreshadowing is barely two lines of dialogue.
I would have liked him a lot more if he actually believed in all the justice bullshit he spouts and was a total sanctimonious, ends justify the means wanker who can only see things in black or white instead of what we got.
>>378029523
At the TV station Akechi says that the Phantom Thieves are merely creating villains just to take credit for making the villains confess to their crimes. It was something along those lines, I can't remember, but in hindsight Akechi shittalking on TV was him projecting very hard. He goes around blackmailing and doing hits, then takes credit as an "ace detective".
For Akechi's character to go down in flames because DUDE I HATE MY DAD LMAO really soured the way the curtain was drawn on him for me. I think Akechi might be a cultural thing, he seems to be well received in Japan because of orphan and out of wedlock stigma in Japanese culture, whereas in the West there are lot of super villains who have similar backgrounds to Akechi but don't become tremendous murderous faggots. It explains why the Persona 5 director had to talk about how villains and heroes differ from Japan/West on a Playstation Blog post. Also there's that whole Akechi is a Adachi without any charm rehash he has going for him. If you could rewrite Persona 5, would you give the villain spotlight to Shido, Yalda, or Akechi?
>>378030157
Meant to say super heroes* when referring to Western characters with similar backstories to Akechi. I need to eat food.
>>378029830
>the only foreshadowing is barely two lines of dialogue.
Not him but there were other clues as well. The disconnection between his gaudy outfit and Robin Hood, the automatic S.Link, the vague rambling mess he said on TV to ruse the audiences. I might forget some other details but your own teammates completely saw through his betrayal, and that was satisfying enough as a twist.
I WANT TO PORK THE MOKOTO, BUT FUCK I CAN'T GET FROM CHARM 4 TO 5. THIS IS THE WORST SUFFERING.
I already maxed Sun Arcana (ie best arcana), so no more charm from that. How can I max my charm points until Makoto lets me pretend to date her? Just take baths when its raining? Is there something that's more efficient?
>>378030368
I don't think it's the fact that his "real self" exists needs more foreshadowing, it's what his "real self" really is that needs better handling. If that makes sense.
>>378030545

I'd give greater focus to Shido, to me he seemed like a guy whose backstory could have definitely been expanded upon like in Tora's confidant namedropping him or talking about how he used to be years ago. For example he could have just been the average guy who thinks he knows better than others before eventually coming to have an extremely cynical view of the nation which eventually goes from something he thinks he can fix to something that's already sunken and dead.
>>378018001
How did he draw that with a scalpel
>>378030887
With love in his heart.
>>378028527
Yes, that's true. It would be impossible otherwise because someone needs to do the special action. I'm sure there's something similar with Kamoshida, Wakaba and the Holy Grail but I haven't checked.
>>378030157
Shido is just a fucking lex luthor clone and probably the lamest character in that game. Akechi was a really poorly excuted idea but at least had more going for him. Yalda was the only one with some semblance of an interesting idea that made it in even though it just boiled down to "its a persona game kill god again"
>>378029830
>>378030157
I actually like a lot of what they had to work with with Akechi. The whole idea of him strongly believing justice would have been great at first glance, but even with him not giving a shit about that I still think they could have made him work if they didn't blow their load in one go. You only really got to know him in his main reveal, and he left just as soon as you actually "met" him.
I'll admit I didn't expect much from Shido, so I was actually more surprised by how well he was handled for someone who's just a complete asshole. Sure he wasn't the deepest villain and he was pretty straightforward, but I liked how they actually bothered peppering the overarching story with his presence much in the same way Sae was. With Akechi you couldn't even tell what was true or not about his character, and when you did he was already dead.
Again, I was really surprised how the game really drove home how Shido was Joker's arch enemy, while Akechi was just a mirrored version of Joker who was essentially just a victim of Shido's the same way you were at the start of the game.
>tfw Akechi shits on Joker for his PT shenanigans when Joker's whole crusade started because of Shido suing Joker and Akechi died never knowing this
Did Joker earn his happy ending?
>>378031128
Nice art. Rarely see any with evolved persona.
>>378031341
I'd say so, the whole game was rigged against him but he won anyway.
>>378031341
Literally the only "suffering" he gets after the end is that he'll have to wait one year before he finishes high school before he can reunite with his friends, and all the romance options that I've seenand Ryujistraight up say that they would visit him.
He won hard.
>>378028527
>Futaba roasting Sae about cheating
Doesn't that happen anyways when you catch her in the act?
>>378031128
>>378031473
Fun fact, Makoto and Haru are often paired together in Japan since their ultimate Personas, Anat and Astarte are often paired together in any mythologies they appear in.
>>378031640
They needed more interactions in the main story being the two older party members, they even make a point of Makoto recognizing Haru from afar during the fireworks scene yet they don't really know each other.
>>378031640
They're also the two best girls and the two third years.
>>378031258
>With Akechi you couldn't even tell what was true or not about his character
He was a generic two-faced villain. He built his fake "persona" as a brilliant, dashing detective as the "reset button" while developing his own ulterior motives. You could say he had a double life (I think being a Gemini explained that somewhat) from having a shitty childhood background. However, compared to other villains with similar background he wasn't smart, his plan was poorly made and his reveal was a massive disappointment.
When people said he's a wasted potential:the character they did mean it, because his character had been done before.
>>378031554
Futaba's roasting is even worse because you can't send anyone to snipe, so her anger rises even more at the unfairness of it.
>>378031841
I'd have liked something more about haru being one of makotos few friends, maybe going out with her and showing her what girls their age do. One of makotos biggest traits is being autistic about that sort of thing and haru appeared to be more of a regular girly girl.
>>378031962
He's wasted potential, but I like how his character reflects Loki, being a two-faced bastard son. I'm sure there's more they have in common, but that was all I picked up on, though I have a very limited knowledge of Norse mythology.

>>378031174
Maybe I haven't read much on Lex Luthor in a while but I thought Shido was more of a straight up asshole and barely even bothered to hide it unlike Luthor who usually has proper justification for his actions but his insecurities against Superman are what brings him down.
With Shido, I thought the main point was how people people didn't really care who led the way and because of their complacency it put someone as shittily evil as Shido into power. It made his lead-up boss cutscene feel more hyped considering how he barely tried to hide how much of an asshole he was throughout the entire game outside of his TV personality.
While Yalda's "fight god" template has been done to death, I thought P5 handled his motives really well, and him being the combined Treasure of the masses proved to be far more effective than Izanami wanting to fulfill humanity's happiness.
>>378032338
I actually really dig this Loki's design. I can't say the same about black mask Akechi's design though, the helmet looks so comically oversized compared to the rest of his body that it looks like a neck brace.
>>378032498
That's definitely different. Cool, maybe I should solo bosses in NG++ with Satanael+firm stance+divine pillar

>Haru's beelzebub "axe"
Bitch that's a scythe, not an axe.
>>378032570
The new Loki design was amazing and the animations that accompanied it made me wish we got to see it more. I didn't like Akechi's black mask look, but it seemed like they were going for the straitjacketed appearance combined with a jester. The seeming "neck brace", though probably unintentional, feels hilariously appropriate in hindsight.

I'm sorry but Loki's mischievous grin is perfect. Soejima's Loki feels like coming straight out of P4A. I'm used to Kaneko's designs so this is just a matter of taste.

>>378033412
Assuming that Kaneko designed both naked purple Loki and gimp suit Loki, I wish that he would do more redesigns of the older demons. He has great ideas but honestly I don't feel like a ton of the more classic demons have aged well.
I really like how freaky the four archangels are in SMTIVA but those designs definitely wouldn't work in another game.
>>378033412
I like them both, I just don't know which I prefer. That Loki has the mischievous look down, but P5's Loki is great too, the way it's hard to make out its exact from is extremely fitting for a trickster. It's kind of unfortunate that it will probably never get used again, but I suppose there's been plenty of great demon designs only used in one game.
Also, Odin's HD model looks really good even though I don't really like the design, kind of makes me sad they're using Doi's design for SMT HD.

>>378030157
I think Shido is fine enough as he is; he's a total bastard who doesn't really give a damn who he hurts, and that's something that I feel is "real" enough to maintain.
Akechi should be expanded, I don't think he got enough spotlight to really drive home the more sympathetic elements of his character. We only find out who he "really is" in the moment before his death, I think there should be more to it.
Yaldabaoth should be expanded too, but in a more subtle way. As it is, it kinda feels like we take a hard left into the final dungeon. I feel there should be more discussion about the complacency of society and its role in creating monsters peppered throughout the game. Maybe there is, I'm gonna hop into a second playthrough sometime in the next month or so, but as it is it just feels a bit sudden and could use more beefing up. Thematically, I like what they were doing with him though.
>>378032559

>>378033795
>it's hard to make out its exact from is extremely fitting for a trickster
IIRC you're not supposed to be able to tell whether it's more black or white, sorta like a zebra. It's supposed to fit Akechi's character, but then again I feel like they dropped the ball on that.
He'll probably be brought back one way or another for P5 Arena, even if it's just an illusion or some shit just so he can be a playable character.
>>378034131
>>378033784
I don't like IV's archangels at all. Maybe they'd look good in another game, but they're totally out of place with the other angels. Not to mention Seraph's design has the same idea behind it but looks much better. Doesn't help them that they're very detailed yet there stuck on sprites on the low resolution 3DS screen.
Regardless, Kaneko didn't do them, it was some guest artist whose name I forget, but Kaneko won't be doing anything for SMT for sometime, if ever.
>>378034042

>>378033206
Did she wake up one day and forget how to dress herself?
>>378033412
Didn't mean to imply that Kaneko's Loki was terrible, though I do think I prefer Soejima's design mainly for the b/w geometric goat look it had going for it.
>>378033363
Akechi's helmet wasn't too bad, but I think the combination of a fully-decked out helmet with the full cloth outfit felt a bit out of place. Guess they were trying to go for a Gimp Loki sort of look with his outfit whereas the helmet felt like it was designed separately to keep consistent with the mask motif of the game.
>>378034297
I don't know I thought she looked pretty good.
>>378033468

No they are constantly talking about how society reacting wierdly to everything all throughout the game. And "Igor" is an evil motherfucker from the first time you meet him.

>>378034246

That's inevitable when only some demons get redesigned though. I agree that Seraph is an excellent fucking design though.

If he never feels ashamed about harming innocent people, I'll still kick his ass. He doesn't deserve any sympathy.
>Yaldabaoth should be expanded too, but in a more subtle way.
Yeah because it's not like a large majority of players feel Yaldy's existence as an out-of-place/without any buildup final boss at all huh ? We have threads about this problem, and "being more subtle" is one of the worst idea I've ever seen.
>>378034686
Pure sadism is still pure.
Imagine destroying Ann in bed only for Makoto to walk in and wait for you to finish so she can ask for your opinion on a book.
>>378034697
>If he never feels ashamed about harming innocent people
He doesn't give enough of a shit to bother looking up who he's killing, he claims that all the people he killed were trash that deserved to die when you confront him but Wakaba never gave sort of indication that she was involved in anything shady.
>>378034686
>Harus runs around Palaces with an axe and smiles the whole time
>Haru does a safety check on her grenade launcher inside the Mona car while everyone stares in horror

Very, VERY cute. I would ask her to dominate me in bed every night.
>>378034165
>As it is, it kinda feels like we take a hard left into the final dungeon.
I finished Mementos on my first playthrough and I thought that contributed in making the final stuff come across more naturally.
It really felt like a natural transition into Yaldabaoth's main reveal where the side quests actually ended up being a bigger deal than they were initially put out to be.
Shido's fine enough as-is and he did his job as the main human antagonist. It's really Akechi that needed some work and I feel like he needed more downtime moments that should have contributed in easing you into the sympathetic elements of his character.
>>378034932
He kills the train conductors idiot. I supposed everyone using subway trains are evil/trash that needed to be killed huh.
>>378035189
Yeah Akechi obviously didn't believe the shit he was spouting when he compared what he did to what the PT were doing.
>>378034675
>That's inevitable when only some demons get redesigned though
Not necessarily, they just need to keep in mind what connects the rest of the angels. They could have still had the archangels be the unsettling and odd designs that they were, but if they also kept in mind that the rest of the angels do have many traditionally angelic qualities, they could have included those as well. Seraph does that by still being very unusual looking but maintaining it's angelic feel by being winged and having a white-gold color palette. The guest artist was probably given free reign rather than being given guidelines, but I'm sure if they asked him to retain the traditionally angelic quality in some way he would have done so.
>>378035018
>>378034686
If I recall, when Ann comments on her whip, Haru compliments her for it and even makes comparisons to a riding crop.

Also why is Persona 5 pacing so retarded, by the end of Persona 3 you have all the bad ass Personas like Lucifer and Satan with sick fucking skills whereas Persona 5 the game ends when you're like level 70 and if you want Lucifer you need to spend like 1 million yen or more and you won't even get a good skillset probably
>>378035275

Maybe if you grinded to no end, you're only supposed to be level 80 or so for Nyx, just like you're only supposed to be level 80 or so for Yaldabaoth.
We need Mark in next Purseowner game.
Can we all agree that people who romanced Futaba are gross siscons?

They're all going to get flanderized to hell and back for the spinoffs. Can't be worse than what Persona Q did to P4's cast though, it took a group that I already wasn't a huge fan of and made them worse than Hitler.

It's symbolic.
>>378036078
I don't remember if it was 70 or 80, but the point is you didn't get there at 90 and you couldn't fuse endgame Personas unless you had Strength.
>>378036227
I don't even want to romance Yusuke but just having more content of him is pure entertainment.
>>378036017
Joker could solo them all, gtfo. What kind of a question is this
>>378035857
I don't remember grinding super hard in Persona 3, maybe I did. I remember working on fusions to try to get the best skills on Nyx or whatever so maybe I went into that shit deep. It was almost 4 years ago.
Also, why the FUCK does Persona 5 end before the new year? In Persona 3 I remember you had at least January and maybe even more because I recall the closing ceremony and thendying
Any situations where you can send the wrong guy out to do a special action apart from sending Ann to steal Kamoshida's crown?
I know this is a waifu thread but I need to ask
if I kill the reaper on flu season is it going to fuck my game up? should I just wait until a replay or NG+ to do it?
Legit question, why are Makoto fags so autistic? The minute you even mention her they'll all "Yes! my queen <33333" within seconds. They're all over my normiebook feed. No other girl's fanbase is like this. Is it because Makoto specifically caters to what most spineless guys want in a girl?
>>378036364
I'm wondering this too.
Btw what happens if you send Ann?
>>378036364
>>378036441
Ann just gets caught instantly and you waste a turn.
>>378036368
>if I kill the reaper on flu season is it going to fuck my game up?
If you kill it enough you'll breeze through every dungeon since ambushing enemies will consistently trigger Ryuji's insta kill ability. But on the plus side you'll be able to fuse more shit without having to pay much.
>>378036441
Kamoshida is completely focused on her and she can't sneak to steal it and you have to resend someone else.
>>378036497
I sent Mona in my run and nothing happened. What happens if you send Ryuji?
>>378036340
Persona 4 vanilla ended on December. The True Ending route is still a single day in the new year so it really does end in December. Persona 4 Golden was the one that fleshed out the game to perfection.
And to be fair, almost everyone calls December the most boring month in Persona 3. Don't forget the Aigisfags who have to suffer because they just get a single month with her in January in P3 FES. Or how Mitsuru STILL had to be a late social link in FES despite almost everyone wanting to bone her and she would ignore you for months.
I agree Persona 5 should have some breathing room, Sae asking you to turn yourself in needs to be after fucking New Years for sure.
>>378036368
It'll only fuck you up if you need to farm, flu season reaper powerleveling is pretty legit.
However once you're at high levels, Ryuji's ambush instant kill will murder absolutely everything. So that could screw you over if you're strapped for cash.
>>378036569
He also takes the crown. Only Ann is the wrong choice there.
>>378036285
Granted I didn't go for her on my first run but I didn't see them as siblings at all. Ryuji and Ann have a more sibling-like relationship yet everyone ships them together, I don't see the issue with it personally.
In general it's weird logic anyway, who the hell has ever heard of someone turning a chick down because "they're like a little sister to them"? If there was a massive age difference between the two then yeah I'd understand but that isn't the case here.
I romanced Tae the Bae
>>378016856

Anyhow I've only just one day'd the Spaceport. What can I expect to happen with the romance?
>>378036340
Probably so they can give you more time to play in the re-release, but that bothered me too.
>>378036658
they both have sojiro as a father figure
>>378036629
Ah okay.
Are there moments like this with other bosses? Does Madarame instantly notice Yusuke?
>>378036569
Morgana and Ryuji are the correct choices, everything goes as planned provided you do enough damage.
I don't think any of the other boss battles have correct or incorrect choices, cept for Wakaba but that's only if you send the same party member multiple times in a row.
>>378036780
>I don't think any of the other boss battles have correct or incorrect choices
Well the piggy bank robot has a wrong choice if you send an item that's deemed by Kaneshiro as cheap shit he doesn't care about.
>>378036732
So?
>>378036780
That's wrong. I played hard and consistently sent Yusuke like 4 times. Sent no one else.
>>378036440
>They're all over my normiebook feed.
That was you're first mistake. All waifufags are equally autistic, but only ironic weebs would talk about Persona on Facebook and ironic weebs don't actually care which girl's the best they'll just latch onto whichever one's most popular so they can squeal about how they're such big weebs.
>>378036920
Didn't you notice that he'd take more time with aligning the shot the more you sent him?
>>378036440
Aside from the autism, she reminds me of the good qualities of my past 2 exes. Fuck this gay game for doing this to me
>>378036883
Isn't the item thrown out completely random? Besides, attacking Kaneshiro and knocking him off seems to be a better option.
>>378036920
Sending the same person over and over still works, it just takes an extra turn each time.
>>378036658
>In general it's weird logic anyway, who the hell has ever heard of someone turning a chick down because "they're like a little sister to them"?
It's anime logic and Persona is anime as hell, I guess?
Ultimately players should just do whatever they want though, the people complaining about "her basically your sister even if not really" are some extra special pathetic subset within the general waifufaggotry going on here.
>>378037068
>Isn't the item thrown out completely random?
The 3 choices you get from your party members are random, I'm not sure if there's only meant to be one correct choice among them or multiple correct ones or if it just depends on your inventory not having enough expensive things.
>>378037027
>>378037068
Interesting, she did the jump attack the last time so I just figured that slowed things down. Guess I didn't take his warning about hands getting tired seriously. In my defence its ideal to keep him protected so he can come back and rising slash to kingdom come.
>>378036440
Makoto gets that lights out scene in at Futaba's house and then there's that scene at Futaba's palace when you trigger the animated boss movie. That brought over the canonfags from GameFAQs and NeoGAF to the Makotofag fanbase immediately.
It says a lot when Annfriends, Harufriends, and Futabafriends are all annoyed by Makotofags' near obsessiveness with how "perfect" Queen is. Makotofags are like the Star Wars equivalent of Rey's fanbase.
>>378036658
It's just the mindset of people who don't actually have a little sister. I'm not interested in Futaba anyway, but people just see her in a meek way that they'd want to protect, which is not how having a little sister is actually like.
>>378037345
He needs those hands to draw, don't abuse him like that.
In all seriousness, why the fuck is Wakaba so weak to physical? Ann can do more damage with her basic attacks than her magic skills in that boss fight.
>When by sheer luck you bring Akechi's health to the absolute minimum and end the fight with Joker firing a single bullet
>>378037401
>It says a lot when Annfriends, Harufriends, and Futabafriends are all annoyed by Makotofags' near obsessiveness with how "perfect" Queen is
Everyone of them posts about how their waifu is perfect though. Oftentimes shitting on the other girls while they're doing it and talking about their persecution complex, which is exactly what Makotofags do.
>>378037517
To reward you for the shot. Her gimmick is being immune to that otherwise but open up for big damage once knocked down. Naturally this means the now usable physical moves have to hit hard.
Reminds me of FF13.
>>378037631
Hey I like Futaba mostly because it gives Makoto a cute little sister to pamper. Haru also has the best female costume and best guns, Ann....well I honestly feel nothing for her, neither negative nor positive feelings.
>>378034280
To be honest, Makoto's ass here looks just about the same as Ann's. Haru's looks smaller with that weird light that looks like it's coming out of her pooper. Only thing in point to make Makoto look bigger are her thighs.
>>378037920
People meme about Ass but its seeing your first frontal shot of Queen at the bank entrance that's boner inducing because of perfect roundish hips.
>>378037885
I like all the girls, all I'm saying is that, contrary to what some may believe, there's not one girl with a fanbase whose monstrously more autistic and hostile than the others, they're all just as bad as each other.
>>378036440
Don't know how other Makotofags feel (I kept away from /v/ or anything P5-related in fear of spoilers) but I actually like her specifically because she feels like someone you kinda had to work hard for to keep up with. Your relationship with her feels more functional than outright romantic, and somehow I find that more chill/comfy. It does make the romance scenes more enticing especially when you consider her prim/proper personality as an honor student (particularly the "study partner" schtick). In my case though,it helps that I actually relate to her the most out of the entire cast, both personality-wise and in terms of studies/hobbies.
That said, I did notice how a lot of them are obsessed with parading her as the "canon girl" and fawn over her being a "stronk independent woman". Much as she gets my pick among the girls, I still the think the others are great in their own right, so maybe I'm the weird one.

>Haru will never be m'lady

They give Ann the spotlight after beating Kamoshida but Ryuji's rovalry with him is MUCH better. Even with that girl's attempted suicide it was Ryuji who ran straight up to the guy ready to throw down.
>>378038324
I think it is because of how Makoto is treated early in the game. The way Joker has an option to be hostile or just ask her questions / guide her and the such.
I did want to hug her after she said: "Why is everyone always getting on my case?".

She's perfect for me
>>378040631
Makoto probably gives the worst ones mostly because they both occupy the same space so you can't use them both. Other girls at least mix things up and fill out your room better. Yusuke gives 3 decorations and all of which are for different areas of the room.
>>378041338
why shouldn't you be in love with her?
>>378038324
I agree. For me at least I picked Makoto because personality wise she is the kind of woman I want to actually date. Plus her romance/date scenes felt more endearing to me. She feels like the kind of woman you would have an equal relationship with versus the other girls.
>>378040967
I'm pissed the game just skips over 2/15 if you don't cheat and doesn't give you any other scenes. Hell I even heard Sojiro has a unique line about Futaba if you spend it with her but still cheated.
>>378041334
Take her to Harajuku (I think) when you hang out with her but don't rank up or after she's at rank 10.
>>378040798
No I stayed faithful to the fluff
Boned everyone but futabu, fortune teller chick and creepy reporter. So yes did all the best girls.

In the real world woman don't throw themselves at the feet of men and beg for them to be their boyfriend like they do in weeb trash. They just wait for it to come from whoever is good enough.

Christmas cake, it's a jap meme referring to women who aren't married by the age of 25.
"Nobody wants Christmas cake after the 25th."
The use of cake in these threads to refer to the older women you can date is hyperbolic.
>>378044514
Sucks for her, she'll just have to transition into a highly paid governmental job or highly paid legal advisor job or all the other highly paid shit open to a veteran lawyer instead.

>realise that her interactions with Joker only work with that dynamic because he's a school age kid and despite the fact I'm practically about as mentally mature as a school age kid considering how awful I am as an adult, that sure as fuck doesn't mean we'd have the same dynamic

I don't like Persona 5 that much.
>>378043632
Sae is one of the luckiest characters in the game. Unlike every other adult with a Palace she's the only one to not be publicly humiliated, arrested and commit career suicide even though she probably should have.She's an abusive carertaker too.
>>378045356

She has no self esteem. She'd fall in love with your pathetic ass if you just talked to her.

It's weird to see Leblanc from the reverse direction.

And she was even able to save her ass when they accused her of aiding Joker by saying that they basically made her do it by tampering with her heart.
>realise that I'm fucking 25, my life is going nowhere and will likely continue to go nowhere, and that I couldn't hold a conversation with a woman like her even if I ever ended up meeting one, let alone a woman like her even batting an eye at me even if I was good looking and confident
Stop making me feel these things. I couldn't hold a conversation with any woman let alone a very attractive one.

I'm not one of those "Sae did nothing wrong" guys, because she blatantly did shit wrong, but she was the only target who managed to have a change of heart without the PT needing to steal her heart which is worth something I guess.
Also it's not saying much but she's probably the least "bad" of all the targets I guess. It's not exactly satisfying reasoning but she was just a cog in the 99.9% conviction rate machine, if she wasn't in that role someone else would be and would be doing the exact same thing she was. Doesn't clear her of wrongdoing but it's not on the same level as what the others did, I think.
Only other bad thing she did was be strict/mean to Makoto, which she admits to regretting even before the change of heart happens.
I'm in love with a smelly neet!
>>378045637
>don't meet and go out with Ryuji, Yusuke and Mishima on that day

Being around the boys shit always happens. When the girls are around is always "STOP HAVING FUN. PARTY IS OVER. BE SERIOUSLY. ACTUALLY WE MUST GO NOW, GIRL STUFF". Even P4 was like that, just Rise was okay with them

>>378045675
>>378046101
>if she wasn't in that role someone else would be and would be doing the exact same thing she was.
The problem with trying to excuse Sae's actions with that is that game constantly has the PT fighting people you could use that excuse for in Mementos, but they don't really get it and are just chastised for their actions anyways.
>>378046162
Why is she so cute?
>>378046619
cause she's in love, duh
>>378046162
Does she smell like squid?
>>378046564
That's more because of how the mementos requests work though, people publicly post requests and then we hear back from them after it's solved. That aside the PT don't go and try to publicly shame them or whatever like they usually do with their main targets, it's closer to what happened with Sae if anything.
>>378016818
No I didn't Onee-chan.I married her instead.
>>378016818
Yup
>>378046564
How do the mementos shadows get chastised for it beyond the player making a comment amounting to "don't do that shit again okay?" and then sending them off?
>>378045942
>mfw she wants to be a police commissioner and i dig holes for a living.
I would kill myself to spare her the disappointment desu
>>378046619
Because she's a fictionalized idealization that takes advantage of all your protective instincts.And I fell for it, hook line and sinker.
>>378046735
You're not wrong lol.
>>378046864Dried squid, on occasion.
>>378045942
>Sae is more successful and younger than the average person who plays this game
>Taller too
>>378047351
I rarely if ever go for protection bait characters, but I feel like she has enough of a normal and snarky side that are just as well shown. Her reaction to Christmas Eve was so overwhelmingly normal that it hit extra hard in the gut.
>>378041678I unironically like ohya
>>378045560
>abusive caretaker
She was okay, aside from that one time she flipped out on her and called her a leech. Slightly less sympathy for Makoto on my second playthrough in that one scene too now that I know the full context behind it all
>before that scene, Sae constantly tells her to not get disracted by the Phantom Thieves craze and focus on her studies
>Sae comes back from work, Makoto making random smal talk with her, mentions her dad
>said dad being the reason Sae's doing everything she's doing and the person she respects and laments over the most in the world, and Makoto being aware of that
>Makoto casually drops a "sis do you think dad would've sides with the Phantom Thieves instead of doing the shit you're doing?"
Sae went overboard for sure (says so herself even) but I have no idea how Makoto even expected her to react to that, it's the most polite yet completely unsubtle fuck you in the entire game. Maybe the entire family is just stone cold autistic or something.
>>378046864
>mfw just put together that not only is their hair similar but Junko is the Ultimate Fashionista.
Ann wishes she had Junko's tits, though.
>>378046864
>>378048208
>Maybe the entire family is just stone cold autistic or something.
Did it really take you a second playthrough to realise this?
>>378046864
all of my boners
>>378048208
>Makoto casually drops a "sis do you think dad would've sides with the Phantom Thieves instead of doing the shit you're doing?"
Makoto didn't really have any idea of the things Sae was doing, to her she was just an upstanding prosecutor not engaging in falsification of evidence.
>>378038120
>>378037920
Ann has no ass. Check out Kamoshida's Ann's ass when she was captured at the castle. The beach cut-scene, and even the pool at shido's palace.. she's got pancake cheeks.
>>378034280
Maybe it's the lighting making it look weirder or something but Haru's costume looks unreasonably tight in the ass area.
>>378034042
>>378034280
Girls in this game have no hips, ass without nice hips just makes a person look like they have a duck-shaped body
>>378048968
My post was only slightly about ass and not at all about Ann though?
>>378049585
Have you seen Makoto?
>>378048856
Sure, I don't think that has much to do with my point. Makoto knew Sae didn't want her getting distracted by the Phantom Thieves and she knew that their dad's death was the driving cause behind Sae's current behavior. So to say what she said wouldn't have gone down well period. Sae was a cunt and Makoto lacked general common sense.
>>378049585
Futaba has nice hips, might just be more noticeable because she's petite though.
>sister of a prosecutor
>daughter of a police officer
>HELLO I'D LIKE TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THIS MAFIA BOSS, OH YES I'LL GET IN YOUR CAR LET'S GO!
>>378050132
"All according to plan", though one very abritrarily based on Joker & co being able to tail the car. There are so many ways that shit could've gone south and she couldn't have done anything about it.
>>378046162
more like smolly neet!
>>378050010
>Sure, I don't think that has much to do with my point
Sae wouldn't have reacted that negatively had she not been doing things that she knew her dad would disapprove of, when Makoto made a comment asking about what he'd approve of it stung Sae because she feels like his notions of justice are what caused them to suffer and has forsaken them. Makoto was unaware of how much Sae hated their dad.
>>378050132
You might have missed the part where she completely lost her cool and jumped into action because she was feeling completely useless.
>>378050546
That happens twice in this game with different characters and it fucking annoyed me both times.
>>378048856
I'm pretty sure she had a rough idea that Sae dropped justice for results, just didn't know the specifics. People get hung up on Sae being mean when even the characters didn't give much of a shit, it was clear that Sae did care about her and Makoto was aware of that much even after she flipped the fuck out in that one scene, the point was more that Sae didn't care about justice anymore and less that she was an uptight bitch.
>>378048050 >>378050419
As the days pass, I sink slowly deeper into my obsession with this adorable midget.I was concerned at first, but now I'm looking forward to the day it becomes full blown psychosis and I'm no longer able to separate my fantasies from reality.
Then I will finally be happy.
>>378046564
The game spends a straight hour explaining how Joker persuading Sae and then Sae going back to help him was key to their whole plan, that's why she gets "special treatment".
>>378050680
>I'm pretty sure she had a rough idea that Sae dropped justice for results
Eh she was still taken aback by Sae not being please by Kaneshiro's confession because she cared about the promotion she would have gotten had she been involved in his arrest.
>>378016818
She seems to be the best party member but everyone says Haru is life.
But everyone knowsTeacher and Tae are best.
