Unlike other people I didn't have a problem with the original perk, but it's so much better for everyone now It almost makes the original P5 unplayable to me. Being able to speed run Places and Mementos will do that to you.

I haven't played P5 in a while; what exactly changed with Ryuji's ability? Seems like the main difference is that you get battle rewards when it triggers.

You activate it by dashing into enemies rather than ambushing them, I believe

That, and apparently it also only works on weak Shadows (ones that have a blue-greenish glow when your use Third Eye), so you still have to fight anything that glows yellow or red.

[up]that was always how that skill worked.

But yeah, that new skill feels so good to use, because you're actually in control of what you want to instakill or not. I couldn't even tell you what enemies were in Shido's palace or the 7th palace in P5 original because I'd have to bend over backwards to not ambush the enemies because I was overlevelled at that point of the game. getting full rewards also does wonder for your cash.

Oh, now people want to like Ryuji? Pfft bandwagoners, I was team Ryuji before it was cool! :P

I just heard about the Persona 2 gamefaqs thing, where one of the FAQ writers disowned the guide he wrote and called Persona evil due to becoming a BAC. It's amazing meme potential.

Some people felt he's too much of a crossbreed of Chie (Chariot Arcana and lover of meat, as well as an thlete, albeit a former one) with Kanji (Died blonde hair, Deliquent and Book dumb, and a Physically oriented Electirc Persona).

I don't really care, but Max Mittleman's Voice Acting for him blows both of the other 2 out of the water (No offense to Tracy Rooney/Erin Fitzgerald or Troy Baker/Matthew Mercer)

[up][up]his innocent sin was writing the guide, and his eternal punishment will be becoming a meme and not seeing his guide be removed.

As an aside, I believe royale improved ryuji's character because the third semester lets him showcase his growth he had over the game and he acts a lot more sensible than in the main game, like when he's the most emotionally intelligent of the group and is the first to formulate what everyone is thinking about the third semester situation. Junpei used to be much better than him to me but now it's a much tighter contest.

In other words, he's written like a character instead of just a one-note gag.

People use to trash ryuji because he was dumb and loud about being a phantom Thief, and wasn't a girl. Plus he's kind of a dick at times. I honestly never saw him being compared to chie/kanji as a negative, just that he was annoying and rude. I felt like he's he only one that felt like a believable teenager where everyone else had that one thing that was a bit out there or acted like characters instead of people(Yusuke being the biggest offender). Like Haru being CEO's engaged daughter, ann being a model,everything about yusuke, makoto being out of touch with her age group, futaba's amazing hax skills, morgana being a talking cat and akechi entirely. Some of it isn't entirely unrealistic but compared to ryuji whose basically a troubled dude with a single mom who can't run track anymore he feels grounded in comparison.

His english VA does such a great job with him too. Might be my favorite VA in the series TBH.

Ryuji was always great when he was allowed to do something other than yell THIS IS BULLSHIT. Glad to hear Royal does more of that.

Ryuji's great.

When I do get Yusuke as a Confidant? He crashed in my room last night yet still got nothing.

I never had trouble with Ryuji (aside from September, but you know). I love his non-thief scenes, like going fishing and giving you chocolate on Valentines. My least favourite Thief was always Makoto. I felt like the game didn't know what to do with her.

[up][up]I both like and dislike Makoto. I like her because she's initially very offputting yet becomes one of the most helpful members in the team while also having a sweet persona but her personalty is kind of meh at the same time. Like on her own she's a bit dull.

My least favorite thief is Morgana pretty easily. The others have fun personalities, great character moments/backstory, or both. Morgana doesn't really get any of that.

Fun fact: the scene where he invites you fishing actually takes place on his birthday.

My least favorite is Yusuke. His introduction soured me on him, the starving artist jokes get old, and IMO it doesn't feel like he has a "role" on the team (might have changed in Royal). The last point is also my issue with Haru and to a lesser degree Ann, but the others factor is what drag him down.
