The reason the Investigation Team aren't at risk of being killed by their own personas is because...

They already accepted the part of shadows, which then became their personas. Basically, their persona's did try to kill them technically, and the cast made peace with them.

Only a few of the characters in P3 had their Personae "forced" awake. All of your party members except for Shinjiro had theirs awakened "naturally" and don't have the same issue.

Shinjiro's did awake normally. He started taking the suppressants after the accident with Ken's mother.

Personas don't work consistently from game to game. You'd might as well ask why none of the 3 cast had Shadows the moment they awoke to their potential, despite all the buckets of trauma.

Aigis does have a Shadow

Personal Shadows only really manifest consistently in 4 due to the mechanics of the TV world.

A question about the abilities of the new final boss in Royal.

Are his powers limited only to cognition, or do they extend beyond that? If they don't, that certainly raises some interesting questions about how people in Marukiland react to non-cognition-related problems. Diseases, natural disasters, death itself...

that question is answered very early on into the third semester of Royal

jesus christ the sleeping table is brutal, i've gone in three times now and had my party wiped before i could do anything important. maragidyne on top of megidola is insane

i really dont feel like grinding in tartarus though, nor do i want to spend another one of my nights in tartarus not that i'm doing anything else with my nights

it really, really is a shame the tough fights are

1. relegated to bosses that just look like mooks, which is boring

and

2. slug fests because meaningfully engaging in persona 3's battle mechanics means that enemies don't get to do anything

thank god 5 stepped up the game when it came to making fights in Persona interesting

edit: gave it another couple attempts. did really well my last try, until the stupid table megidola'd twice in a row and wiped my party with no chance to recover. persona 3 is definitely getting marks off for this smh

edit edit: 3 megidolas in a row i'm starting to lose it at this boss omg

the sleeping table is a notorious That One Boss, don't worry, it's not just you. If you manage to get past it, the rest should be smooth sailing.

I could listen to the original Persona OST all day. Feed that dark 90s techno into my vanes.

gave up on the sleeping table for now, i'm gonna come back when my social link ranks are higher and i have an easier time fusing stronger personas

but in day to day life, going to the movies with shinji REALLY warmed me up to him... seeing him cry at the animal movies made me both laugh and go aawwwwhhhh

also the culture festival clean up scene was hilarious omg

all the girls that i'm two-timing all coming in and seeing me at once, and the guys needing to bail me out actually made me laugh

its so wrong but god was it funny

IIRC Saki Mitama is one of the best Personas for Sleeping Table. Knows Mediarama and resists Fire. It's been ages since I played FES though, so sorry if I got it wrong.

Oh, by the way, it turns out that "Burn My Bread" is now an Ascended Meme.

Which would be great...if they made it one 15 years ago.

That typo was on the original printing of the Persona 3 soundtrack so it seems like Atlus just copied and pasted it without looking too hard lol

holy fuck finally killed that stupid table, christ

it so, so, SO immensely poorly designed. it has no less than three different working mechanics that could randomly kill you whenever and there's nothing you can do about it without an absurd amount of grinding and fusing.

just to win the fight on my end I needed to do a few hours of grinding. and i still needed to not get unlucky to win the fight! lord knows that even after all my grinding i still lost a couple of times because the boss randomly decided to megidola three times in a row, or god forbid hit me with fear > ghastly wail immediately with nothing i could do about it.

it so, so represents literally everything wrong with persona's combat system, and why it took until 5 to actually get it mostly right, and even then Royal still needed to make changes.

but hey, finally rank 10'd yuko at the end of the day. what an absolute sweetheart. it really is a shame she exists in the same game as Yukari, Aigis, and Elizabeth because otherwise she'd be a shoo-in for best girl.

Nobody, not a single person, enjoys the Sleeping Table

there are some difficult bosses that are fun because of the challenge, but not this fucker

finally getting around to the full moon boss on 10/4 and!

the fight was pretty easy. died once due to atk up + enrage + crit which i laughed out. i liked the gimmick of the fight, honestly.

and oh boy cutscenes, i wonder what's gonna happ-

oh

wait, Shinji killed Ken's mom???? OMG this. explains so many character moments and dynamics and why shinji is taking the pills. and ken is MAD that shinji is going to die because it means that killing him is pointless??? this kid needs therapy. i mean, it's one way to look at the theme of the game...

? and ken was going to kill himself after killing shinji KID GET THERAPY

and hey look, creepy jesus dude has an evoker- OH GOD that was NOT an evoker oh my god

i... shinji... fuck. i knew it was coming but like, not NOW

Takaya notably does not carry an Evoker, presumably because getting it mixed up with his gun would be very embarrassing and potentially fatal.
