Neither have I lol. I’d of described it poppish too probably but heading the Jazz thing yah that fits better.

Well whatever you want to call it, the calling card/infiltration theme is a banger.

Finished the 4th palace. I’m at the point in the game now where I have so many confidants asking to spend time with me and so many activities that I’m having to pick and choose and it’s getting stressful lol

[Corrderio]

Yeah it can get overwhelming. Personally my favorites are the politician, shogi player, my favorite team mates, the nurse, and maid.

The fortune teller is great too but I think I hit a wall with her for some reason.

Life Will Change. That’s the name of that song. It has lyrics, I don’t think you hear them until the final “palace” though

I made a goof. I had been neglecting Arsene but I didn’t want to get rid of him. Ya know, starting Persona and all. I unlocked the ability to train them by locking them in prison in the Velvet Room. I had him in there for a while, but the Warden girls said they would warn me before he was lost. I never got any warnings from them. Then I sent a calling card and did a palace infiltration, and it fast forwarded me two days. By the time I was done, it was night and they called and said HEY YOU HAVE TO GET HIM TONIGHT OR HE’S GONE, and I couldn’t leave my effing bed room because I just got out of the palace :/ The next day the wardens called me and told me I was a jerk and they had warned me “several times” and he was gone and it was all my fault. Such horse shit.

I think I’m almost done. Just have to send the calling card for the final palace. I was wrong about Yusuke. Akechi was the worst.

The “twist” was, eh.

Looking forward to a NG+ run with my maxed stats so I can max confidant bonds early.

[Corrderio]

Close. 2nd to last.

Well technically 3rd to last.

That's impressive you had Arsene that long. I used him for the first sacrifice during the tutorial.

[Elcura]

If it's his first persona game I can understand being attached to your starting Persona. I kept Orpheus around a lot longer than I should have in P3, but P4 and 5 those starting persona went as soon as I could fuse lol

[Anoat]

Oh, I thought I should keep him because I didn’t see anything else capable of curse damage for a while and I would need it. But I never ran into anything weak to curse until much later when other Personas were available.

[Anoat]

Holy fuck this game just does not end.

“This is the final dungeon! Be ready!”

PYSCHE!

“THIS is the final dungeon! Really, be ready!”

PSYCHE!

“No really for reals this time, this is the final dungeon, we promise.”

Still waiting to see if they got me again.

When I was playing this, I flat out told Astylla the ghost of Billy Mays must be in this game, because every time I thought I was at the end, I could just see him popping out to yell "But wait, there's more!"

PS I’m sure y’all talked about it in this thread somewhere over the course of the last two years but wtf at some of these romances. I thought your adult teacher being a romance option was pretty edgy as is but Futaba is like what, 13, 14 at most? Yikes. Japan, you crazy.

[Gokulo]

No, she's 15-16

The best scene in the game is to cheat on everyone, then ignore everyone on valentines day. They all show up at Leblanc and beat the shit out of you. Haru is legit scary.

[Corrderio]

She's pretty scary in Mementos too.

[Anoat]

Well I finished finally. Definitely a great game. One of the best RPGs I’ve played, ever. There are some localization issues I would nitpick like Ryuji saying FOR REAL?!? every five sentences or so, but nothing so major as to ruin it. 10/10

Gonna see how long a NG+ takes me now that I can fast forward through so much.

[Ayn]

I think I'm right at the end since..about a year ago (work just picked up) and part of me's just wondering if I should wait until the Royal; could just Ebay My Take Your Heart edition for a chunk of change.

[Corrderio]

For all your Queen fanboys out there.
