Least intimidating Persona Boss EVER!
---

oh shit there's another intruder

is it whoever was on the phone with the principal

and who gloomily was like "hmm the school unlikely but I'll check it out hmmmm"
---

damn it I missed an oppurtunity to play guinea pig

damn you ann
---

wait are ryuji and mishima planning to hire and sexually harass a maid

---

Boy you haven't seen nothin of Mishima yet
---

I told you those two are idiots.

one of the personas is literally a topless purple woman

Wait until you see Mada
---

despite how stupid it sounds you really need to do the maid thing
---

Operation Maidwatch is required to unlock a new Confidant, and it's a good one.
---

More like best one
---

Mishima having the same VA as Rean Schwarzer will never stop being funny to me.
---

I did the maid one and I remember the maid was my homeroom teacher but then I feel asleep and don't remember anything after that

It was a dream...a sad, pathetic, yet kinky dream.

Bump

Another bump
---

Thanks for bumping, might not have time to play until my day off Monday
---

*smacks Ryuji in the face before he does more stupid shit*
---

damn it what do I have to do to improve my relationship with sojiro

every time I hang out with him I get "I don't think our bond will deepen yet"

fuck off sojiro
---

you gotta make coffee a few times

ugh fuck that
---

man I really have no desire to explore Mementos at all

exploring the city is so much more fun imo

is Mementos required for story progression?
---

Yes, it is. It's also required for some of the Confidants, so you might as well do it. You can't get all the way through the whole thing in one go anyway since there's an artificial roadblock at various points that expands every time you finish a Palace. You can get to the stopping point in just one trip, so it's not TOO much wasted time.
---

blah
---

You also get to hear some interesting party conversation while in Mementos. It makes the boring trip less boring.
---

Yeah, Mementos at least makes it somewhat interesting by giving you some unique party banter, but it's not great.
---

macaroni is confessing
---

oh my god that ugly cry face

---

oh cool the next target is fat cat from rescue rangers
---

Haven't gotten to the best girl yet, I see. Hope you enjoy the game!
---

hopefully you don't end up an M!

definitely enjoying it so far

the biggest thing that doesn't excite me is dungeon crawling, which I've never been a fan of in games. Seeing the different palaces is definitely cool, and I'm curious as to how the rest will look, but things like Mementos' repetitive subway design seem dull compared to the rest of the game
---

You can rush through mementos levels pretty easily by skipping all the enemies (just like in previous persona dungeons)
---

doesn't it ever rain at night? seems like it only ever rains in the afternoon

Mementos sucks, yes
---

"They're all dead... who could've done this?"

"The larvae! It must have infected their brains!"
---

I do like how it keeps having Makoto nonchalantly pretending to read me in the background, disguised like a normal npc

it's a really nice touch; reminds me of Adella in Bloodborne

---

so when does it force you to go into mementos? I've noticed you can go after multiple targets at once there, do they just build up until it essentially says "go to mementos"
---

the forced Mementos segment is later in the game but I don't know if you can just not go in there ever before then
---

I think you can avoid it for quite a while. It's convenient to build up a decent number of targets before you head in so you cut down on the number of days you're wasting (I think I usually took care of five or so targets at a time).

"whenever I try to study, I just end up playing games"

"yeah it's hard to quit sometimes, I just start mindlessly grinding for ages"

goddamnit

---

Morgana: "Why are you doing this when you're already exhausted?"

this is the most realistic portrayal of a school field trip I've ever seen

high schoolers barely staying awake as someone explains obvious information in the middle of an annoyingly loud and crowded room
---

wait a fucking minute did pleasant boy just say he heard someone talking about pancakes

pleasant boy can understand cat!

wonder if he'll be an ally or a villain
