By the way that's just r/Megaten's theory, not anything official.

So I was listening to my ipod on random while I was driving into work this morning, and just as I was pulling into the parking lot it started playing Memories of You.

That fucking song. Right in the goddamn feels, man.

That is seriously one of the most... emotional songs I know of, even without being able to understand the lyrics.

... then I found out the lyrics and I'm like "yeah, that's about right." Love it.

I hope to YHVH that there's incentive to remain chummy with Social Links after maxing out. That bugged me in 3/4 that the second you form an unbreakable bond, you can safely ignore them forever. It made me thankful for the ones that end with the character Put on a Bus as a justification, though.

I'm actually fine with ignoring Social Links after they max.

It was nice that they gave you a chance to interact with S-links and party members at night, no matter what stage they were in, in Golden.

I know, right? It somehow manages to be sad and cheerful at the same time. I've listened to it and I still don't even know how that's a thing.

[up][up][up] It just reinforces the idea to me that I/the character is just doing this for a power boost, not to help people or anything. Mechanically, I like the fact that I don't have to spend a Day with these people for no benefit, but from a story perspective I don't like it.

But it's good from a story perspective to never hang out with your 'best friend' again unless you're trying to solve a murder mystery? Or to never go on another date with your girlfriend?

"Look Chie I thought you realized we weren't dating anymore once I reached rank 10. That's why I went out with Naoto and then Yukiko. I haven't cheated once."

The obvious solution would be to give some sort of temporary benefit to spending time with a social link, even (or perhaps only) if it's maxed out. If hanging out with the various shop owners makes more inventory available and/or lowers prices, for example, then even after you've maxed out their social link, spending time with them anyway will unveil additional inventory or lower prices even further for, say, the next week or so.

Alternatively, spending time with maxed out social links boosts other things. It might earn you money, or boost one of your social stats, or score you a free item. Something of that nature.

Out of all the variants of Aria of the Soul, this is the one that sounds the most somber to me, but considering the plot of Innocent Sin, that kinda makes sense.

You know, I'm pretty sure in P 3 P (male route) I went out with my 'girlfriend' (Yuko) at least once after I hit Rank 10. Then again the only other female SL i finished was Aigis, so.....

[up][up]With all the callbacks to the older Personas it would be cool if Nameless and Belladonna showed up in the Velvet Room this time around.

It would also explain where music that pleasant is coming from in a prison.

[up][up]That's the thing. You actually are able to date your girlfriends more times after they reach rank 10. It's just that there is no benefit to it, other than a cute scene.

This might of been noticed already but they changed the tarot card art for 5. 1 and 2 are a paired set and I believe use the same tarot designs. 3 and 4 are closely linked after the fact and had their own set. Hopefully that means 5 is going to be the start of its own duology or pseudo trilogy far removed from the first 4.

I don't hate it, but I'll admit, the weird symbolic deck from P3/4 is still my favorite.

I think "weird" and "symbolic" is built into "tarot".

I mean, even more so than most Tarot. Extremely abstract human figures if any at all, distinctly limited set of colors used, and so on.

I'm doing Kanami's part of the story after I finished Rise's.

So I don't have the full picture right now.

There's a reason Kanami's role in the intro is what it is. You're not quite there yet, but it won't be too long now.
