We all love fun facts. There are several about Persona 5 that we already know (for instance, that Royal was initially going to be DLC rather than a game built from scratch, or that Joker's glasses are actually fake), but what about interesting tidbits that few people know? Let me hear them.
I was asking myself that same question recently: setting aside the needs of the plot (justifying Haru's existence), why does Haru attend a "normal" school? We know it’s likely a public school >!(after all, they accepted Ren, who supposedly has a criminal record)!< but wouldn't it make more sense for Haru to attend a private or elite school, like Gekkoukan?
Lately, I’ve been wondering about this, since both Haru and Mitsuru are incredibly wealthy thanks to their families (who are millionaire businesspeople). Haru, for instance, might consider having caviar for breakfast perfectly normal, while Mitsuru could buy a top-of-the-line motorcycle as casually as picking up a toothbrush. I can easily picture them at a country club after a tennis match, surrounded by champagne and complaining that the Kobe beef and lobster surf-and-turf they ordered still hasn't arrived...
Anyway, what are you think about?
Persona 5 is massive clocking in at over 120 hours and I recently finished it. However, given how detailed the game is, I found myself wondering why on earth there isn't a birthday mechanic. You have the ability to give gifts, yet you can't celebrate the birthdays of your best friend, girlfriend, or mentor? They even have confirmed birth dates, but when the day actually arrives, everyone acts as if it’s just a normal day. I would have loved, I don't know, an optional mission for characters you've maxed out to Confidant Rank 10. Take Ann, for example: say you hit Rank 10 with her; on November 11th, she could text you saying, "Hey handsome, tomorrow's my birthday, want to come celebrate with me at the Central Street café?" Or better yet, there could have been a trophy for attending the birthdays of every character you maxed out. That would have been interesting. But as always, what do you guys think?
We’ve all been there running out of SP at the worst possible moment, running out of ammo (if you play vanilla P5 like I do), hating Morgana, etc. but what were the moments that made you want to throw your controller out the window while playing Persona 5? Let me know in the comments.
I’ve always seen memes, jokes, Reddit comments, theories, psychological analyses, and the like regarding Futaba (because she never leaves her room; she’s the type of introvert who is only extroverted around her own social circle; she’s a gamer and a geek; she makes references only she understands, etc.)—but... is it just because of that? Don’t get me wrong, maybe Futaba is autistic, but what about Yusuke? Or Makoto? Why is it always said that Futaba is the only autistic member of the Phantom Thieves?
I've been trying to level up Ann's confidants for two weeks, and yesterday I finally managed to make her Ren's girlfriend (my idea was to see what Morgana would say to me, but it seems he's not resentful because he didn't say anything... it would have been great if there was a secret cutscene of Morgana all sad, but you interact with him and he gets over his sadness or something like that). The thing is, now what? Can I take this girlfriend out for a walk? To see a movie, to the arcade? >!I mean, I just finished the 3rd arc and I'm entering the Futaba arc!<, what can I do after the arc?
I've been playing P5 for quite a while now, I've already defeated Kamoshida and all that, and now I want to raise Ann's Confidant level to make her Ren's girlfriend, but I haven't been able to find her at all. What can I do? Is it too late now and do I have to start the game from scratch? :/
This question sounds absurd, I know, but I keep wondering why Makoto has a revolver, Ryuji a shotgun, Ann an UZI, and Morgana a slingshot. I mean, I understand in Joker's case because Ryuji himself gave him a fake gun (a replica, I'm aware that in the metaverse, replica weapons become real because the enemies believe they are real or something like that.), but when the others enter the metaverse, they "magically" also get weapons. Did I miss some part of the explanation?
I know this might not be to the liking of many in the Persona 3 fandom, but remember, this is a theory I want to ask you about, a "what if...?" scenario. In the hypothetical case that Makoto revives, say, in 2015 (let's make the following assumption: since humanity no longer fears death, it's no longer necessary for Makoto's soul to seal Nyx, so now his soul does return and he is resurrected...) and he appears where he died on March 5th... only this time he sees students from his old school he'd never seen before and learns everything that happened. Obviously, in my opinion, the first person he would visit would be Yukari, but since this is a "what if," I want to know what you think would happen? What would he say to her? How would Yukari react? Or, more importantly, what would happen when the former SEES members found out about Makoto's resurrection? But as usual, what do you all think?
I recently started playing P5 (Vanilla) and I've honestly enjoyed it quite a bit. I fully understand that you can have a "girlfriend" in the game (I'm just finishing Kamoshida's palace) and so far my favorite is Ann. My friends tell me not to choose her because there are better girlfriends to choose from (one of them, for example, chose Dr. Takemi; I jokingly tell him he's like a The Weeknd who actually got one, my girlfriend IRL told me she chose Haru, and the typical ones tell me to choose Makoto because she has a nice butt... and that's it). Personally, I prefer Ann because for me (I know there's no established canon in these "optional" routes) Ann would be Ren's first love, but as usual, what do you all think?
I'm clear that Persona 3, or any title in the franchise, doesn't have a 100% canon couple. I played Persona 3 Portable a while ago, and I admit it's a fantastic game (I discovered Persona 3 thanks to its compilation movies), but every time I replay it, I start thinking... It's obvious that Yukari was the one who loved Makoto outside of the game, because in the game you can have any girlfriend you want, yes, but in story mode... Many consider Yukari unbearable, but think about it for a moment: you lost your father in an incident and you feel ignored (let's not forget that Yukari was around 15 or 16 years old...) and you meet a new boy who shares your pain, and unlike your longtime friend (Junpei), he actually listens to you, you share with him... For me, Yukari represents us teenagers who had a secret crush on a friend and in the end... we never got around to confessing our feelings. When I learned about the DLC The Answer (unlike... Many who hated Yukari in that story) honestly, it hurt me a lot how Yukari reacted (she's the one who most denies Makoto's death; if he had been just another friend... maybe she wouldn't be so affected). That's when I realized that maybe Yukari had something to say to Makoto, not something cheesy like "I love you, Makoto Yuki," but something that would have allowed her to tell him how important he was to her, to open her heart... The point of the theory is this: Yukari was always in love with Makoto and never had the courage or the time to confess until it was too late... But as usual, what do you all think?
Hola, me compré hace poco el Persona 5 vanilla, osea el original, y como pueden ver soy hispanohablante y no sé nada de inglés, traté de cambiar el idioma de mi Playstation 4 al español de España y sigue en inglés, que tengo que hacer?
Hi!
This is my first time posting (excuse my English, by the way, I'm a Spanish speaker)
And I wanted to know your opinion on this matchup: Ren Amamiya/Joker (Persona 5) vs. Ben 10, but a definitive showdown (They both have a lot in common; they're basically teenagers who became heroes because of a technological artifact controlled by various species, i.e., Personas and Aliens). I've read many times that Joker would beat Ben, but there are many feats Ben has accomplished that Joker hasn't (surviving the Big Bang, remaking the entire universe from scratch; Alien X is clearly more powerful than Maruki, the final villain of Persona 5 Royal). But as usual, what do you think?
(To make the confrontation "fair", Ben will be able to use the sword of Ascalon and accompanied by Skurd, on Joker's side he can use all the Persona and personal weapons he wants, but it does not change the fact that outside the metaverse all his powers are useless since his powers only activate within the metaverse, not outside, since in our world Joker is just a normal human)
