So Akechi's brilliantly-planned double cross is foiled by

This is a tough case, even for Junpei, Ace Detective.

You forget that Naoto was also a fucking moron who almost manipulated the group into vigilante killing the red herring, amongst other acts of stupidity and incompetence.

The only actual contributors/detectives in the IT were Brotag, Yosuke, and idiot savant Chie

>Naoto, he ain't.
You mean that retard that got caught and didn't record any of it? And didn't contribute to anything to the team?

>>378533948
The sad thing is he was actually a really, really good party member and would have had a permanent spot on my team if he hadn't, you know, betrayed you and shot you in the head and all.

>>378533948
I wanna know who the fuck decided to remove the title from Naoto and give it to Akechi?

Like did Naoto willingly give it up? Did people find out she wasn't a prince and lost it that way? Did he win it off her in a detective battle to see who could get the most innocent people killed first? Did the media just give up on Naoto and decide there needed to be another prince?

I thought Hashino was a better writer than this

Naoto became a legit cop and started actual work so the unusual media hype of a kid outsmarting adult police kind of stopped being a thing with her.

Hence they moved onto groo as a thing to write news stories about, because who cares about they police solving crimes? They're supposed to do that.

Was Goro's betrayal actually supposed to be surprising?
I got the impression you were already supposed to have worked it out by that point that he's the one who sold you out in the In Media Res opening.

They did their absolute best to make sure even the most retarded people could heavily suspect Goro, probably because they got some flak for the Adachi reveal being kind of random and coming out of nowhere.
I think what's more meant to be surprising is that the PT actually caught onto Goro fairly early on and weren't just your dumb as bread animu protags you usually get in these kind of situations

He was only good because the enemies in the casino are light/dark weak. He offered the party nothing truly impressive except debilitate, but that's only if you leveled him a lot.

>I think what's more meant to be surprising is that the PT actually caught onto Goro fairly early on and weren't just your dumb as bread animu protags you usually get in these kind of situations
That's what I got from it. The real twist to me was not that Goro was a traitor, that much was obvious. The twist was just how hard the Phantom Thieves blew him the fuck out.

I did the mementos quest literally the day after I finally got around to Maxing STR and felt like a complete moron.

Same. He was stylish. Plus, having 1 char cover 2 elements was useful when preserving Joker's SP. Not that you really need to worry about SP by that point if you've maxed Tae.

>>378535553

I'm not really sure. It seemed like they couldn't make up their mind if they wanted it to be a surprise or were afraid they'd piss people off if they didn't make it so obvious so nobody would get attached to him.

Yusuke keeps them around his dorm as pets.

>>378536451
Presumably they're in a tank in his dorm so he can view their beauty at any time. But maybe he got hungy and ate them since he has little money.

>>378536227

No because it's one of the bosses you have to fight to decend into Mementos.

You can miss it at that point I guess, but only if you haven't been going down to the limit every month.

Ace Detective?

>>378536345
Just reload after reading all the books and getting the trophy for it.
If you don't want to do that for whatever reason you probably aren't going to pull it off in a single playthrough if you play blind. If you know about all the little tricks like rushing Kawakami and Chihayaya it's pretty easy though, they give you a fuckton of leeway compared to the other games.

>>378536589
Those bosses don't show up if you don't accept the quest by reading Mishima's mail. If you are rushing and not paying attention to your messages it's easily possible to skip it since Mishima will only message you each quest once. Had to do an extra playthrough for the all quests trophy since I skipped one of his, wasn't fun.

Why though? The last boss is absurdely easy with the Ann/Ryuji/Makoto or Morgana

Nah, when you're low on health, 200 isn't enough unless you're looking to have 2 characters use their turn using it, but nice mention of the defense buff item since I sort of do something similar by having Haru use the ones that give a party wide acc/eva buff.

No, Joker should be spamming charge/god's hand/hassou tobi or concentrate/black viper/morning star while Haru hits him with Heat Riser.

>>378539476
There's no real strength/healer in the game. Makoto is the healer with the highest strength. Taking Morgana would be even more retarded.

>>378539762
His pleasant personality.

>>378539490
Morgana suffers most of all from his low endurance that forces him to spend his sp healing every single turn because otherwise he himself would die. Makoto's larger sp stock, more modest mediarahan and higher endurance (especially once you take into account the fact that you can pretty much boost all her stats by 15 in endgame) leads to her being more effective as a healer instead of such a quick shot like Morgana. She also carries an ailment heal spell like energy shower which is useful against the deadliest of ailments just in case.

However Morgana is incredibly useful against Caroline and Justine because of his masukunda which when combined with Yusuke's masukukaja increases party survivability by a lot.

It was just any other day in Chiraq. The streets were bustling and the crowds were shooting at each other . A group of young men were sitting in an abandoned warehouse planning their next move. These men belonged to the bloods, one of the most notorious gangs in the world. Their leader Akria (street name Joker) Kurusu spoke
“Aye yo listen up faam, today is the day that nigga Goro gets glocked.” “That motherfucker be crossin’ the line sellin’ dope in our turf.”
Sitting right across from him were his boys, Ryuji (street name Skull) Sakamoto and Yusuke (street name Fox) Kitagawa.
“Respect nigga” Ryuji preached.
“So how we gonna fuck this clown up?” Yusuke asked.
“Here’s how it’s gonna go down” Joker sat on a wooden stool. “Imma get my boy Iwai to hook us up with some guns we drive by his crib and a bust a cap in his ass.”
Ryuji gasped. “Shit that’s hood as fuck.”
“Serves that nigga right for fuckin’ wit us.” Joker said

Joker’s phone suddenly buzzed. He picked it up to find a text message sent by his newest hookup Makato Nijima. In it contained a naughty photo of her in tight red shorts with the caption “like what you see ;)”.
Ryuji’s eyes gazed at the photo “Oh shit nigga is she that bitch you be hittin’?”
“You know damn well it is.” Joker boasted
“Damn her ass is so phat man, I’d go balls deep everyday if I were you.”
Joker gave Ryuji a death glare.
“You get any funny ideas and I’ll punch yo lights out.” He snarled.
“Oh shit sorry B.” Ryuji said.
“Besides what happened to that broad you was smashing?” Joker asked.
“You mean Ann? I knocked that ho up.”
“You better prepare yo ass, that bitch gonna you down for that child support.”
“I know nigga.” Ryuji sighed.
Yusuke was getting impatient.
“Ay yo can you lil’ niggas hurry up!?” “I’m tryna’ bounce outta this joint ya feel me?”
“Nigga is you gay? I got baby mama drama!” Ryuji yelled.
“Man shut yo lil’ bitch ass up! Y’all know they don’t call me death stroke for nothing” Yusuke retorted.
“He’s right Skull, we better book it before the police come.” Joker said.
“Ight’ but let’s hop on your ride, it looks pimping.”
Joker, Ryuji, and Yusuke got in Joker’s vehicle. It was a shiny black range rover that Joker bought with his crack money. The gang drove to Munehisa Iwai’s house while blasting Bad and Boujee by Migos out the windows. The cops attempted to tail them but Joker managed to escape them.

The bless/curse element in a dungeon filled with enemies weak to one of those elements was a bonus.

Not really. The entire thing hinged on the Phantom Thieves being able to take down the fake Medjed, which should have been impossible for them anyway. It's only sheer luck that they were able to come into contact with Futaba, one of the few people in the world who could have done what she did against Medjed.

It also hinged on Futaba not immediately recognizing that the Medjed they were dealing with was fake, which she totally should have right from the start.

>>378541149
Of the newer ones, I'd say 5,even if 3 has a better ending.

>>378540996
>uh yes he was
>more powerful party member in terms of stats
Uh no he wasn't. My party at the time were already higher than him 1-2 levels. And your persona stat is your stat. There's little use for him unless you can't fuse a Persona with light/dark moves by using treasure demons.
And that pic related is nothing. I play Project Diva FT before P5.

Yeah had they faked their loss the phantom thieves would have been at max alert from how suspicious things were.

>>378541494
Even without that. the cutaways with him in the courthouse with sae make him obvious setup for a bad dude.

>>378535190
Being able to fuse a Persona that also has light/dark doesn't make him shit, might as well call all the other party members shit too because Joker can carry out every role best if you bother to set him up accordingly. Even then it's handy having another light/dark user on the team aside from Joker.

speaking of Snow Queen Quest, is it a good idea to do it for a first Persona 1 run? I'm not sure I'll have the courage to beat the game twice, should I do the normal route or the Snow Queen Quest route?

>>378540575
Adachi killed like 2 people. Goro's killed how many? We don't even know, but its a LOT. He's a goddamned hit man.

>>378541854
every mental shutdown is his doing so yeah he's killed a ton of people.

>>378541634
Setting up a team that works in your favor is better than depending on a specific character. His skillset isn't needed for me. Light/dark is only for exploiting weaknesses and negotiation.

>>378541969
Just trying to quantify it, it has to be in the double digits at least.

>>378541827
No, do the normal route first.

Anyone else start to get seriously worried in-game when your popularity jumped up to the 80s suddenly at what felt like the half-way point of the game?

I won't pretend like I've played the first two but I'd say 5>4>3

5's is pretty solid but not without faults, 4's fun but not really that interesting outside of the more slice of lifey moments and 3 may as well not have a story for the first half of the game.

>>378542648

Sure, but a story isn't just its ending.

>>378541149

i felt like 3 had the potential to have the best story if it was just better paced and had more interesting things happen

the last few months of persona 3 and the ending were great, but there's just so much down time in between the events of 3 and the story takes forever to really start rolling

he literally drops a scooby doo villain quote

>>378543068
Even then 3 still had a much better story than P4 aka What's new Scooby doo

>>378542635
that's a bad meme, the gameplay is bad and uninteresting but it's not that tedious

>>378541297

But Goro would need to incorporate his Loki form to look cool.

Though then again having P5A take place before the casino would be a good way to shove in an explanation for why there were no other Persona users when Yabbadabbadoo made everything go Neon Genesis Evangelion.

He whines about having put in insane amounts of effort into creating an identity for himself that he conceives as desirable by others yet he sees some attic trash actually living a more fulfilling life with solid friends that would risk their lives for him and he can't help but feel butthurt.

Because it's not blatant in cases like Tsukuyomi and Kanzeon. But I'm really really not thrilled to see another zebra design.

Peaked with Yusuke in my opinion.

>>378544863
They're all Joker sitting in LeBlanc and the police come and take him in, but there reasoning for it is different for each time. It then goes back to the interrogation and Sae gives up because she knows he wasn't brought in in April, May, June or whatever. Then Goro kills Joker.

>>378544637

I fucking love to but I need to fuse unicorn who I also need to stay alive for the gargoyle fight and even when I get past them with my b-team they get fucking bodied by the yakuza guy so I do the whole thing with the a-team before this and they literally had no sp for the berserk personas so they fucking died too
I've been at this for like 2 days and I'm so fucking done with this mash x simulator piece of shit all they need was a way for me to get sp items that gives me more than FIVE sp per consumable then I have a chance I'm never touching a persona game again have fun with your fake gfs you cunts you all owe me 50$

It also gives you a key item from each confidant you max that unlocks some of their perks from the very beginning.

This is why you need to max Chihaya and Kawakami on NG, so you can have massages and affinity readings from the start.

>all they need was a way for me to get sp items that gives me more than FIVE sp per consumable
lmao

>>378553083
Gargoyles? You mean the floating goat men? Let me let you in on a little secret. They can all be hamon'd since they're weak to Bless. Ongya ki you're gonna have to duke it out since he has no weakness.

How did you guys even have to think about that trophy? After I got a new party member, I made them stick around for that palace and waited for them to get their AoA art, and then I switched to whatever I was mainly using at the time. I think I used Yusuke Ryuji and Makoto most of the time until Akechi came along.
Before I even knew it, I got the lines trophy and I didn't even know.

>>378552720
I would have actually kept the card and played my own slots and dice.

I would have bet of the arena too.
I honestly saw the whole thing coming. Not that saijima would pump the price up to 1m chips but that they would pull the second card out of their ass.

I expected yet another floor of gambling games for the last 1m chips.

>>378554223
When you finish battles quickly you rarely here things more than "Alright Joker, knocked 'em off their feet!"

>>378547327
The SMT IV clothes look fucking neato.

>>378553089
Damn, really? I'm just about at the end of my first play and I only got Kawakami to 9 before she stopped being available.

>>378554223
>How did you guys even have to think about that trophy?
I didn't even know that was a trophy. Didn't even use Akechi more than 2 occasions. Went blind first time and suddenly I saw the trophy announcement.

>>378554292
Don't play on easy then?
>>378554574
I played blind too. I kept Akechi in the Casino because more often than not, the shadows there were either weak to bless or curse.

>>378554673
>HURR EZ MODE
Really faggot? Hitting elemental weaknesses on any difficulty will mop up a fight.

t. played on safe

How much time do I have after Casino to finish Confidants ranks?

>>378554969
No, I played hard, and merciless for NG+

>>378554969
Merciless honestly makes you finish fights super quickly and with minimal exp and money. Which fucking blows because you can't even persuade personas to join you without being killed off too quickly

>>378554996
Not long, MAX LINKS FIRST you won't max them all, but try to max Teacher, Fortune and Moon

>>378554996
IIRC you only have time until December 21th. Just try to max Temp and Fortune. And get the good ending.

>>378555302
I have Teacher maxed, Moon will be maxed, and Fortune is 2 or 3 from max so I have been using her skill.

If I get everyone to 5-6, will that be enough?

I still need to get Guts to 5 for the next rank of Hanged.

>>378554996
You have until 12/22. 12/19-12/21 will be removed from your use as they are exam days.

>>378555456
I don't think you will be able to finish Hanged. Had max guts and still took far too long. Try and do the cards where you get the most benefits, and if you want, romances too. There is no penalty for romancing everyone. If you go at the rate I did, blindly, you'll have at least half of the cards maxed.

I think I understand you, Akechi. I think I understand you.

>>378533948
The motherfucker looked to much like Light Yagami to not be a psycho murderer.

Did anyone not notice his fuckup over the PANCAKES the moment he brought them up?

>>378545275
Whole point of Strega in P3 was that artificially awakened to Personas can be killed by them unless they took suppressants. So, it is possible, can even happen to weak minded persona users (like Shinji or Yukari, although latter may be anime only occurence).

Yes, such as you being born.

Well you can't underestimate human's idiocy. I've seen players whine about the calling card issue and the oh so familiar hama/mudo game over.

>>378546662

This. Shadows of TV world were amalgamate of person's own and peer perception of them. I think it was stated after Namatame's potential murder scene.

Besides this one really small fuckup he actually did a fantastic job. He only got defeated because Makoto is unrealistically smart and Futaba unrealistically good at computers; the P5 scooby gang is just too damn good.

>>378533948
But Naoto was even worse because she was completely ineffectual and almost led everyone to a bad end.

>>378536345
You can't. It's already very difficult to max every link on your first playthrough, no way in heck you can do books and vidya on top of that.

probably mad that calling card uses up the day.

Come on man, he was an interesting idea that was just not handled that well.
