Persona 5- Spoiler Zone

OK, so in my first P 4 G playthrough, I declined all my girlfriends on Valentine's Day to hang out with the bros. It was kinda funny and it was sort of a way to dodge the guilt of playing all off them in a way.

Is there such an option in P5?

Nope. You WILL suffer the consequences of being a cheater.

Still think Altus is being stubborn, though.

Currently in the 4th Palace grinding out Liquid Mercury and Aluminum Sheets. I also made Sabazios for Makoto and Gallows fused Drain Bless on my Super Arsene.

Idk how it is P5 yet, but I'd rather not the girls come on to you super hard or get all blushy blushy all of a sudden. Like, I wish the prompt for dating most of the time would be, at like rank 8, things are normal, but your internal monologue determines that you've got to known them well enough to try and ask them out in a romantic context, and then it goes from there.

Pretty much, I wish most/all of them were less overtly into you before you try anything.

Nothing romantic comes up until Rank 9 for all of them, and you're the one who needs to initiate the Lover route. If you don't the Confidant continues on the same Platonic route it always has been.

Not that I care terribly much about this, but I figure it's better to answer a question if I can.

SephiZack's personal analysis of the new DLC persona. Ariadne, Tsukiyomi, and Asterius.

I like this guy. I've been using his videos during my New Game Plus run and they've all been super useful for info. I don't have any DLC Persona but I figured it would hurt to share an opinion.

So I've reached December on my first run (you know what I'm talking about) and I gotta say that, while the twist was really obvious, the execution was genius. Managed to get this far without using guides, except to figure out which gifts each girl likes. Hopefully I have enough time to max out a few more social links before game end.

Also I think I'll get that DLC for new personas for my NG+ run(s).

lol Caroline busts out the chainsaw when you get a fusion accident

It's kinda wild that there's over 70 dollars worth of DLC for this game. Atlus is really taking advantage of the legacy aspect. Past Persona costumes and battle music specific to each game, with some Persona 3 an 4 Persona to match. There's even costumes for SMT 4 and Persona 4 Arena, which are a bit more recent.

Plenty of Free DLC to go around at least.

Meh, they are basically just charging massive amounts for what was in game in the previous games.

Technically Speaking, Ariadne. Asterius and Tsukiyomi weren't in game

Phew.

It was obvious Goro knew who they were, since you see him appear just before they enter Okumura's palace, but he's still got them over a barrel. Everybody is being played pretty hard. I'm really looking forward to the reveal about his betrayal. He seems so sincere right now that it's almost hard to believe he's going to screw them, or that he's the one who killed Haru's dad. Sae's also being led along like a puppet, so I'm wondering what will push them to enter her Palace, and the nature of it (since Futaba herself wasn't evil). Finally, Soujiro knows everything...which puts him ahead of Doujima, who never really learned about the T.V. world, despite being a detective.

The more I see, the more I want to see. It's driving me crazy how far away I still am from the full story to be honest.

Are the Phantom Thieves terrorists

3 dollars per Persona set isn't bad for a deal, especially considering they released them a week apart. When I can I'll get at least 5 of them, 6 if I'm lucky.

It didn't start out that way but yes.

Define terrorist?

Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters I bet.

They aren't actually physically harming anyone. In fact, they force people who have harmed others to confess their crimes so they can pay for them, and even do it in a way that does hurt them physically.

There is the brainwashing argument however. I'm not totally sure if what they do could be called that either however.

They are metaphysicallly harming them and things in Cognition are just as real. Like the treasures and Morgana himself says as such just after the final boss.

It's typical vigilante narrative. You either go along with it or you don't.

They are inflicting legitimate torture as by taking ones heart they are inflicting permeant & severe mental anguish for the rest of their life.

Said guilt is strong enough that one target said he was gonna commit suicide as penance till a more fitting punishment was given.

In any other series, they would be Well-Intentioned Extremist villains.

I'm pretty sure in any other game they'd be Well Intentioned Extremists. Evil Counterparts or not.

Actually come to think og it, of the last 3 games the P4 cast might be the most heroic. Since the Kirijo group and by extension SEES is admittedly rather shady.

I stick to argument they're only villains if you look at the surface only instead of the actual context. It's easy to just go "Brainwashing people, they're evil", but there is far more to it than just that. Plus they act primarily in the defense of others who otherwise wouldn't get help from the people who are supposed to help, leaving no other options.
