Board 8 > Persona 5 General Discussion Topic #4 - You'll Never See It Coming! (Spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Endgame spoilers
I really want more Lavenza tbqh

I didn't pick Theo with the FeMC so I cant say.

I had to gay it up with Liz.

The only problem with Margaret is that people mistake mature, refined and serious for dull and lifeless

Well that's because they're the same thing

Because it is.

Thus why Mitsuru was boring as fuck as well.

At this point I think I'm only 2 persona away from completing my compendium

He's really naive and believes basically anything he is told about the human world. Je shares Elizabeth's curious nature towards human things and he's like polite to a fault. In PQ he's basically the butt of every joke type. Not sure if you'd like him or not, but he's not bad.

I like Caroline/Justine more, but I also more or less liked Elizabeth for the record. (Though she isn't a highlight of the game for me by any stretch of the imagination)

Elizabeth is awesome. You people are weird.

This basically sums up my take on it.

I am probably the only one in the Justine > Caroline boat.

Nope. I like Justine more too.
---

I know most of Elizabeth's content was added in FES, so maybe her haters only played P3 vanilla?
---

I liked Justine more at least until the most recent Confidant level (5 I think). Not sure anymore, but it's not as if one is far better than the other.
---

Margaret was solid, she just suffered because they didnt give her any time to DO anything. And they hadn't figured out they could make the S. Link rank ups trigger cutscenes like in 5. But her puns in the social links were A+.

Rank 10 with thwm and Carolina and Justine still haven't done anything to impress me. I just see them as worse Margaret and angry Elizabeth. The twin dynamic is the only thing saving them.

Still better than Theo, who is ONLY good when Elizabeth is around.
---

Actually no, Justine has done one thing to impress me. I really like that she complains if you advance through menus too quickly. Good joke.
---

Yeah that always makes me laugh.
---

Ugh. Ryuji...fuck this new party nonsense. He's just so awful as a person. Haru is taking his place. UGH! SO STUPID!
---

I seriously don't think he's any more of a jerk than Yosuke was, except Yosuke never gets called on it or faces any consequences for shitting on Teddie and Kanji whenever he can.

He is still too dumb and obsessed with the Phantom Thieves.

Easily one of my favorite little touches in a game filled with them.
---

Time for new game plus I guess. Also I felt more emotional impact from a mom and kid near Takemi's than I did from most of the cast. That was quite a little story they had going on

Ugh. I hit that, "I don't want to play anymore" wall. Not like for today. I mean an extended break. I have a week left of my school vacation. I have things to prep for.

I wish I felt this last Wednesday, but I will suspend it here about halfway into NG+.

I mean, there is life outside Persona...surprising as it is to think.
---

Catching up on life outside persona is why I haven't started NG+

Yes. And it's like, "Did you register for next semester's classes or get your books yet?"

"No. A video game maid did it all for me."

How do you trigger that? I knew someone had to comment on it
---

"You and your friends"

Ha, they never hang out with me if it's not palace or Confidant time :(

How does the best plot twist in the whole series carry out if you're playing with japanese voices?
---

Even better because the original Japanese voice actor for Igor died so it made sense that they were replacing him and Aki Toyosaki is one of the greatest voice actresses of all time and did an incredible job voicing Justine/Caroline/Lavenza.

Her voice clips in the compendium menus change if you go through them while she's still saying her previous one.
---

Such rudeness.
---

FINALLY CAUGHT THAT FISH! Took me like 5 in game days (10 attempts) before I caught it.
---

romancing everyone was worth it

Caroline does too. It depends who's speaking at the time.

final time on the first playthrough was 104:40.

11/20 plot spoilers

I've been waiting so fucking long for the payoff to the god damn pancake scene. I am glad the characters noticed, not so glad it took them around 70 hours of playtime and half an in-game year for them to do anything about it. Biggest foreshadowing, also potentially most easily preventable plot twist. <_<

Does telling Sae about your accomplices/Confidants actually do anything? It seemed like I was supposed to do it by the characters telling me to remember my contacts, but Joker wondered if it was really the right choice when I tried to so I backed out. And I didn't get a bad ending so.....I guess it's fine?

Also I used the STR 10 reward to make my boy Siegfried, and got him with Auto-Matarukaja. That skill is so incredible for random battles and I destroy them now. Once I get some more cash I can upgrade him a tier with a treasure demon too so I'll be even more powerful.

In the next Persona game (Major spoilers for P4 and P5) I'm not going to trust anyone who's last name starts with A and ends in Chi"

you would have gotten one of the bad endings
---

Oh shit I forgot good/bad endings were a thing in this series. I assume it's not possible to lock myself out of the good/true ending--is that accurate?
---

Only if you save after bad choices probably? The true ending in this is SUPER easy to get, but if anybody wants any hints never reveal your teammates and never compromise MC's rebellious spirit.

Not TECHNICALLY, but *mechanical, non-plot spoiler* youbhave to reach the bottom of Mementos for the true end, so if you ignore it you're gonna have a real tough time when you have to get to the very bottom in one go.
---

I am torn on the 2nd playthrough romance.

Takemi is my aesthetic, but....Kawakami has my heart....
---

Makoto is the one true waifu, but those two make up the top 3 with her

Also I dunno if any of you fellow English players caught it, but I'm pretty sure David Lodge aka Detective Dojima is the Igor voice actor.

Kawakami's intro sucks and her maid hair is dumb. Imagine my surlrise when she ended uo top tier.

More Michelle Ruff please.
---

Go for all of them at once like a real man would do

The alternate hair style is pretty bad. Also P5 MC has to have the worst parents of the 3-5 MCs. Never seen and seemingly give 0 fucks about their son altogether.

seriously there's zero ramifications for romancing everyone thanks to Sojiro's smooth talking

Sojiro is such a bro
