This part was poorly done, same with rest of chapter 5. Such a step back compared to chapter 4, imo.

Ok, that makes sense thanks. I've been making sure I always have the right personas for that stuff but I wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting my time.

I have never played this game and don't really intend to, but I desperately needed a thread to dump this video off into:

So stupid, but can anyone tell me if this dog ends up being ok?
There's a little story about him if you listen enough - how he's an old dog,blah blah blah. Well, apparently he got sick and he hasn't appeared in a awhile.
He looks exactly like my 14 year old Shiba so UGH! Dem feels.

It wasn't? I thought it was sidetracked or something, cause that teaser had 0 hints about thievery and stealing hearts.

Honestly, they both talked about each other and said mean things, but the only difference is that Morgana has always been right. Ryuji is a worthless character. If there was a power to fire people on the team, he would've been gone a long time ago. Would you want someone like Ryuji on your team being the weak link? He is completely stupid, inconsiderate, and basically a stereotypical anime archetype that's just there because it's the popular character to have apparently. In reality, you wouldn't want someone like that on your team bringing everyone else down.

In all seriousness people seem to hold a grudge for Morgana trying to keep the MC well rested :-x (September related spoilers)
or why else everyone conveniently ignoring the rising anxiety that has been building up within him for months leading him to blow up at Ryuji. Course both don't look great in that, that's the point, it's a stupid fight between friends. Still the build up to it was there from an emotional stand point. It's not like either of them decided to go full asshole just like that.
There were no hints of that in the subsequent teaser trailer, either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y5U8n4Ie3I
It's why PV01 was such a surprise. All part of the plan.

The implication is that Sojiro and Futaba's mother weren't actually a couple. It's not like Sojiro didn't try though. Rather, Futaba's mother was determined to raise Futaba by herself and wanted to focus on her work. That's part of why Sojiro is an amazing character. he took in the kid of the woman he deeply cared for but never was with.

I'd consider the news headlines you can see in there as hints. Course it's not like we could have 100% guessed it from that but I still think it qualifies as hints.
For thievery and stealing hearts? If you're going to make such an oblique connection, then the very first teaser trailer works on the same level as well.

Kind of living for the Ryuji hate in this thread. All of my friends love love love love him, and I'm like holy heck what he's the worst. He's literally everything I hate about teenagers, both real and fictional.
Morgana's best battle line is his reaction to getting angered. It's so cute and probably goes completely against his intentions.

Just finished the second round of exams, before the next dungeon is discovered. (Don't want to check specific day because then I'll spend my daying playing instead of doing work).
How far into the game am I, percentage wise? I really hope it's under halfway, even just a little bit. I've been making some poor progress in terms of making my confidants go "Ha Hoo Ha."
Also, where should my social stats be around here (ballpark)? I have 4 knowledge and guts, 3 charm and proficiency, and 2 in kindness I think.

Ah in that case I misunderstood I was more referring what tone and what context the whole "chained by something" would take in the end.
Yeah the inception like angle wasn't clear until much later.

The group would be missing something if a character like Ryuji didn't exist tbh. Also (late October spoilers)
everyone pretty much admits to feeling the same way he does, he's just louder lol. And he apologizes for being so dumb!
Well it was just some great game until a point I realized how insanely well written the characters are, a good believable cast of characters with an intriguing story is all I want from games in the end
P4G was also great but P5 trounces it and also has the better Dungeons -and even adds it's own type of Persona 3s Tartarus to the mix.
Fourth dungeon
I always dread desert/snow themed dungeons but this one does not only feature a very interesting storyline, but also combines Egyptian mythos with technology/alien stuff.
The only complain I have about dungeons so far is the lack of shadow characters. The first dungeon had Shadow Ann, in the second one Shadow Yusuke was a painting and then that plot point seems to have been dropped in consequent dungeons

As a Phantom Thief, there are a handful of moments where Ryuji shines as the "charge commander" he says he is. It's why I wish the game had more moments where the characters had to organize a meticulously detailed, Ocean's Eleven style heist where every member of the team could show off their unique talents. It'd serve to reinforce the idea that each one of them is essential to the team.

I think I remember in one of the trailers, the whole party was scrambling around the dungeon in rat forms.
Doesn't seem to be the case now bc ailments don't carry between battles.

Always genuinely funny to see people in a series that's kind of all about compassion, trying to understand each other and accepting each others faults go "fuck that character", "your ***** is trash" etc etc completely ignoring most of the time that they're simplifying characters that are written with quite a bit of nuance to ridiculous degree.
Not that I'm above that which adds to the amusement, because Kenji is indeed trash

That's something different unrelated to the battle ailment.
They weren't Shadow versions really. They were how Yamoshida and Madarame viewed the characters as.

Agreed, I was shocked too. She's not what I was expecting, when I really should've expected her to be the way she is...

Those are not Shadows. They are the cognitive versions of those characters, or how the owner of that Palace views them. The plot point hasn't been dropped, it's there in Kaneshiro's Palace with all the ATM dudes, and it'll be a part of the rest of the dungeons too.

And it's cute at first but gets real annoying.
I think the thing I've missed the most so far in the first four dungeons are the
unique mid boss from palace 1. That modified slime as 'Mara' was great...and then nothing else so far as unique. Mot at least fit in the fourth palace...but still more unique mid bosses would be nice for each dungeon.

Also, I went to mementos to complete a request but the third zone wasn't unlocked yet. :/ wasted a day
I had a couple requests that required you to work at the Flower Shop or Convenient Store to get the name of target to unlock a request.
Hell no, that's Phoenix Ranger Featherman R, a show which has been relevant to the series since Persona 2.
No, that's Phoenix Featherman. They're pretty much a staple of the series since P2. One of them even becomes playable in one of the spin-offs.
It's even weirder in the Japanese version where the MC is "voiced" by one of the most prolific voice actors in Japan.
But yeah, it's to allow the player to insert his thoughts into the MC, which again is kind of stupid since the MC in this one has an established backstory anyway.
