Edit: I DID NOT manually update my launcher, it auto-updated when I tried launching the game

I was able to download the launcher for the global version of this game from [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/personaphantomx/s/hIIRAui59w) under [this mediafire link](https://www.mediafire.com/file/knvrmk05asshmyq/P5X\_EN\_setup\_1\_0\_0.exe/file) until they rolled out this stupid update that locks me out of playing on my PC. Does anyone know a workaround? I might be able to uninstall the launcher that I currently have and reinstall an older one, or just figure out a way to run the game directly without the launcher. I'm not sure though, which is why I came here for help)

Edit 2: I tried [thisworkaround](https://www.reddit.com/r/personaphantomx/comments/1v8qf0l/comment/p08jgta/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1) and nothing changed

I got the idea for it while I was lying on my grandma's couch a few days ago. Yukari's hand isn't fully touching Makoto's head because she's supposed to be stroking his hair / playing with it while she waits for him to wake up. I also think this would pair amazingly with the P3R soundtrack [Memories of School](https://youtu.be/irZPXRk7DoY?si=jEpdcVL0OxXlfRK5) (omg I'm gonna cry)

btw notice how the lighting on the characters isn't entirely white? (more warm) this is intentional for a few reasons

1 - orange and blue are opposites on the color wheel, which naturally means more attention will be brought to them against the blue BG (I'll probably need to add a city or something in the distance)

2 - it gives the impression of "even though the world around them may be cold, being around each other gives them a sense of warm belonging and strength" which is exactly what their dynamic is in the game / Manga

I also decided to make this as an excuse to learn how to composite anime, as this likely will NOT be my only animation project (it literally isn't, as I've made a few posts on here saying otherwise). Also grabbing references and staying consistent with my art style should be made much easier now that I have the environment, character models, and lighting set up in blender (YES I learned blender because of these 2, I always wanted to learn to use blender to create environments and props for my drawings but I finally got to do it because of Shuyuka)

I don't really know what to say to end this off, my thoughts are always jumbled when it comes to stuff I'm passionate about. I will say that I'm grateful this community exists because it's really fun seeing the art that gets shared here and talking with other amazing people about the ship. I'll probably also edit this post or add a comment including any extra information that I may want to share if I remember to / think to put it here too.

edit: the hyperlink didn't work?? oh well. I'm gonna go get a cookie or something. pretty hungry at the time of writing

(there are multiple images. Please scroll left to see them)

This is Yukari very indirectly admitting to Wonder that she enjoys Makoto's company and is happy that he cares about her enough to keep her company quite frequently 🥹🥹

also mods can we please please please get a P5X flair there's some Shuyuka in that game too and I want it to have it's own flair

Edit: we got the flair guys

Hi guys good to see you again !! After seeing everyone posting a bunch of art for the annie I decided to “quickly” (4 hours.) whip something up. It's just a sketch, and it likely won't be finished as I am very busy with another Shuyuka project + life stuff. I wanted to get this out on the 13th. Unfortunately, it's already the 14th where I currently am but ik it's still the 13th for a lot of you so happy kinda on-time Annie artwork!!

I was kinda overthinking this one a lot lmao. Specifically Yukari's eyes. But I ended up liking it more than I thought after drawing in her hair (I realized it doesn't quite look like she's resting her left arm on Makoto's shoulder but um.)

As for Makoto's hair, I kinda just drew it well ONCE. EVER. Like in that one post I made and could never get it right ever again 🥲 Yukari's forearm might also be too skinny

Crazy how I was overthinking what I wanted to say while drawing but now that I am writing this post I can't think of anything to say

So uh thank you for your time!! I hope you liked my drawing

Oh yeah it's important to mention that my artstyle is kinda a mess right now. I'm actually NOT trying to find my own style, since I prefer drawing in whatever the official artstyle for the thing I'm working on is (hasn't been going too well for me though) and I've only been drawing for like 2.5 years and that's NOT enough time to fully learn how to emulate a style

This is kinda a last ditch effort ask because apparently this doujinshi has been “erased from the internet” according to a Pinterest comment. I don't believe this is true, because as we all know Pinterest is the land of plagiarism so this must mean this came from somewhere else on the internet, and someone just reposted it (although ig it the og source may have been removed). The doujinshi is titled “ムゲンミライ”(mugen mirai) which is Japanese for “limitless future”. I've already tried looking it up and using google's reverse image search, but I couldn't find anything useful. I'm not sure if there's much else I can do to try to find it, which is why I came here to ask for help.

If you're wondering who the characters are, the guy with the blue hair is Makoto Yuki (sometimes called Minato Arisato, or Kitaro by Japanese fans) or just Protagonist/ hero from Persona 3. And the girl is called Yukari Takeba, also from Persona 3. They seem to be in a location called “The Abyss of Time”, which is a place that opens up after the events of the base game.

Seriously had to exit the app to get out of this

What's crazy is that I recently bought a Makoto Yuki plushie for 32$, but wouldn't ever spend 37 bucks for just under 20 pulls

Would you guys rather buy that or the pack

As a few of you know, I'm working on an animation of like reanimating the end of P3R because personally, I'm not happy with it at all. Pretty much I'm tryna choose which frame would be better for the storyboard. For context this is the scene where Makoto lies on Yukari's lap and is looking up at her (very whipped, might I add)

I personally like A more, shows that Yukari is looking down at him and stuff. A composition like this is probably better for an illustration (I must add that this is my first time story boarding and animating ever, other than like the 1 second bouncing ball that we've all made on like, Flipaclip or something. With that being said, I still haven't the actual animating yet)

But B has the advantage of more focus being put on Makoto, keeping the point of the shot clear. This is important from a direction standpoint. A good director always knows what their scene is trying to represent, and how they're gonna accomplish that

I'm trying to get as many opinions as possible before proceeding. Because although I can kiiinda slack on the illustration of the storyboard so long as I'm getting what I'm trying to convey across, but I absolutely CANNOT slack off on the camerawork / changing of scenes because that stuff matters a lot (this is also why I am kinda stuck on the less.. cinematic stuff? Basically idk where to place the camera for Yukari running over and how to time that.

Okay anyways thanks for reading and please give me your opinions !!

I wonder if the mods will keep this post up, or if it's too off topic for the sub. Sorry if that's the case 😅

I've recently finished Persona 3, and have come to realize how extremely similar both my OTPs are (Shuyuka, Makoto Yuki/ protagonist X Yukari Takeba, and Zutara) are. Like there are SOOO many parallels. Sun and Moon, The guy helping the girl accept the death of her parental figure (mom for Katara, dad for Yukari) hell even the hug that Shuyuka shares on the island of Yakushima directly parallels Zutara's hug in Southern raiders (both are about coming to terms with parent's death, and being forced to grow up quickly because of it) and that's just off the top of my head lol. I could probably go so much more in depth.

With that being said, one massive difference is that Makoto dies at the end of the game, and Yukari is left to deal with the grief that comes with losing her boyfriend (friend if you choose not to romance her, but it's heavily implied that's the “canon” option) I also wonder how many P3 / Shuyuka fans are there in the Zutara fandom, I feel like both ship's fandoms would be best friends

I wanna see people's take on something like Zuko's hypothetical death and how it would effect Katara and the rest of the gaang

I've cleared the mainstory, and uninstalled the uninstallable files to save some space. then it hit me with this (btw my DL speed is 2-5mb per second, not 11)
