I still want to know: How did Akechi call Shido from the Metaverse, anyway?

He didn't.

Then how did he get out of the Metaverse without being aware that he'd been had?

The way Futaba explained it.

I didn't follow that tbh

It felt too much like a Deus Ex Machina to make any sense.
---

That reaper strategy wants you to have the guaranteed escape ability from Star in order to be totally reliable.
---

Futaba installed an app on Akechi's phone without him realizing
This app let her simulate screen touches/clicks (which the OS/other apps would pick up on as if they were genuine touches)
She used this app to manipulate the metaverse nav on Akechi's phone, sending Akechi back to the real world

Ahhh, that refreshes my memory - I'd forgotten that it worked that way. Still feels like "It worked out because it had to" but... it makes more sense to me now than it did after that massive info dump. Thanks, Reg!

well, either you have that, a lot of vanish balls, or a lot of saving and reloading
---

Well, you only need to win once or twice to be set for the rest of the game, honestly, so you can just save and reload until you hit the jackpot. Anything beyond that is just overkill.
---

I actually forgot there was an item that does that, since I pretty much never used battle items.
---

Me and Futaba are teammates

Even if I wasn't going for a relationship with just Takemi, i still don't think I'd want to date Futaba. I love the character but it really feels like she's in more of a little sister role
---

Do you know how long I've been waiting to post this?

Futaba and Joker would be a cute relationship if Joker looked and acted 16, which he doesn't (and if he wasn't a self-insert character). Futaba is the only character who seems like her age, actually.

honestly she seems even a little bit below her age (only a little) because of her stunted emotional growth. Whereas Joker is one of the most emotionally mature characters in the game, moreso than most of the adults, and is very much so presented as an older brother character (and I say this specifically as an older brother with a younger sister)

yup

i was not comfortable with joker dating futaba because of this
---

There is very little in this game I hate more than when you get a confidant to lvl. 9 and then the next hangout won't level them up even after using the fortune teller ability

especially when there's this little time left and still several characters left to max out
---

at this point I'm mostly just worried about maxing Sojiro, Futaba, Yusuke and Iwai, who are each at 9. Fortune Teller is 7 and Mishima is 6 so if I get to them, great, if not, whatever

Haru/Hifumi/GetSmoked who cares
---

The endgame Persona crunch feels more brutal than any boss fight

GODDAMNIT TWICE IN A ROW COME ON

stop wasting my daaaaaays

also I'm super thirsty but my roommate never puts more water bottles in the fridge when she takes them out so my options drinks are either warm water or my fourth soda of the day so I'm extra frustrated

gross

also realized I never even got Haru as a confidant

all confidants get

also is her story really gonna be about fucking vegetables because that's less compelling than Ann's modeling career
---

room temp water is actually pretty good for your vocal chords

but if you don't use your voice for anything important then just have another soda

Haru's Confidant is about elephant dung coffee

"U-Um, Yorheim-san... Are you... interested in older women...?"

HELL YEAH I AM.

I think that was the exact moment I realized Chihaya was actually an older woman

yeah I thought she was just supposed to be a teen like everyone else

thought the older woman options were just Takemi/Kawakami/Ohya

Ms. Chouno: "Not only does Mr. Shido have good judgment and decisiveness, he has important qualities as a leader. Like communication skills. Don't you think his words are easy to understand and resonate with you?"

Yeah I did too, it was awkward and seems like a real wasted opportunity, especially after Yusuke's storyline went into the strength of romantic v. familial love. They are very obviously more than teammates, even if it's not romantic

also about to hit max with Futaba and predicting her new persona is gonna be a transformer like Makoto's but with weird alien tentacles
---

not exactly what I was expecting
---

"Now I know how much fun walking around can be!"

yeah let's see how you feel in ten years
---

gah all the ones I need to max are at night and none of them ever show up

guess I'm hanging out with Takemi for the third time since hitting max
---

ugh she didn't like my lipstick but she's the only one I can even give it to

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING ELSE
---

You can't find Mishima? Have you checked both Shinjuku and Akihabara?
---

oh shit the Lady Ann thing finally serves a purpose!

someone on the writing team thinks they're so damn clever

did you make suuuuuuuure to put on sunscreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

THIS GUUUUUUUUUUUY'S A MOLESTER

this scene is really something

Oh, she loved the birthday present btw. It has officially joined the wall of homemade fanart



Ignore the cat-destroyed blinds

just more proof that the cat is garbage tbh
---

I really do love the cruise ship palace design but goddamnit I'm so sick of these mouse room puzzles
---

Mouse thing is the worst

Mouse thing would've actually been OK if it there weren't so many of them and they weren't so huge.

yeah, it got really repetitive, and was only made worse by the fact you constantly have to fight the same respawning enemies over and over in the middle of it
---

also yusuke awkwardly drawing a tattoo for the yakuza cleaner is great
---

I don't think you could've done anything to make the mouse thing okay. It's thoroughly terrible.
