#[P5R PC] Take Your Time | [FEMC & Yuri] Story and Gameplay Overhaul
1 messages · Page 18 of 1
good thing that there are plenty of enemy slots so i should be able to get most from p4g (tho maybe i rip from p3r instead? doesnt p4g have more variety of them tho?)
at least in p3p the shadow variety is very... basic
you've mentioned it at least 15 times in the last half year
i think you should go start it LMAO
you have been this whole year talking about it 
i think you want to pull from p3r just for higher consistency with quality
i will consider formally making a post when doubt is done
maybe i should add making one(1) code-hooking mod to those terms
oh man the giphy version is so much worse than the tenor version
why is there a random "oops" caption there
honestly i wish they kept that if that was their plan
do you want me to
stealth in p5 is too easy
it's not even that you just kinda run through the entire palace again and it's boring especially with maruki's
it becomes tricky on the few areas that you cant just basically teleport by spamming x
i wonder if making them work even more like the non-negotiable demons in smt and making them fusible but not able to be obtained from chatting might be interesting?
you gotta have at least the mayas they're iconic and yet p4 doesn't have them
well the p3p shadow models are not too terrible so i could have the mayas from there
p3r also has mayas though?
oh yeah that. hopefully it doesnt look off next to other p4 shadows tho
(oh wait... revival is close)
i think maybe for now you should have the ones in both or just p3 pulled from reload and pull the p4 only ones from golden and then replace them with the revival ones when that comes out
eh i think they'd get in the way of more interesting personas (plus that doesnt make much sense lorewise)
what was it again? the enemy personas are affected by the distortion or smth? they mention remembering they are not from 'here' but the sea of souls
the shadows could be more purer shadows or smth idk
(okay this is a sentence. i meant the p3/4 shadows)
oh yeah the shadows could also be a good way to better showcase the arcana influencing ailment affinities, since they are more straightforward representations of the arcanas, so there isnt much ambiguity of them compared to other shadows
ive thought about what itd be like to disable fast travel on card day and ive been mixed on it because while some of them seem designed for it, others...dont
like on the one hand you have sae where you basically just take the elevator up and on the other. yeah maruki lol, who definitely would not have been designed for it if it were considered because the idea wouldve been scrapped before royal was even started
maruki's palace sounds awful to go through without qt
worse than okumura?
holy shit the last time i played pq1 was on my much worse pc, so it lagged like hell on many areas
now with my new beast of a pc, pq2 at least is running as smooth as butter
(as smooth as butters can be at 30fps)
i've always fought my way through the palace on card day 
fast travelling seems so lame
(also smt4. great on anywhere but cities for some reason)
i mean i guess forcing maruki runback would encourage using hereward and ella for more than one fight but is it worth it...
funny that this seems to be quite a common sentiment among players
because yeah it is very lame (also, you dont get to hear much of the cool music)
have mandatory minibosses on the maruki runback
at least makes it more ~interesting~
yeah, like they have the field bgm overwrite battle bgm, but you dont really see that unless you go out of your way to get into a battle 
well at least on futaba's runback there's a chance to see that
i was about to say, my ass was instakilling my way through everything so actually it wouldnt make me use them unless you did this (or yeeted instakill, which tbf youre doing anyway)
the ryuji perk?
yes
oh i was confused about the yeeting ik part
love me game mechanics where it's like "how about we let you to skip part of the gameplay because it's maybe tedious"
instead of just
not making it tedious lmao
i associated the instakill with running over them with a car so i just call it ryuji's dump truck
phrasing
that'd require enemies with more than 20 hp
funny that making battles slightly longer can make them less tedious simply because you are more engaged in them
yuri jumpscare
yeah as expected, it makes the game go faster
30fps gaming it is
i wonder if there's any good fanfics... 
plenty... 
||tho i couldnt share them here||
futaba is my spirit animal
then after analzying them, she was like 'NOPE, NEVERMIND'
huh, the twins dont know who elizabeth is in pq2...
but i thought they did in dancing?
Yes they did. Margaret wasn't in that dancing, but elizabeth was.
I'd say they don't remember elizabeth due to the different "AU", and them only knowing 5's events

though i didn't mean spicy ones lmao
This is before they get their memories back.
oh right dancing is after the events of p5
3k
holy
||233 e-rated||
damn its late
night homos
where's the femme girlkisser
Oh yeah, i was thinking of what kind of unhinged chronically online shit futaba could just drop out of nowhere and make everyone in the room confused
homestuck reference
Well i dont know anything about homestuck to reference 
rainbow dash jar
Now im unsure. Vanilla futaba is def a channer, but what of this futaba? Started out a channer that dislikes tumblr, but post transition she now is a tumblrina?
"so rei and akechi are totally kismeses right" "what"
Well rei would be gay
forcefemming akechi then
Well he can wear female armor here(he's just practical is all)
bigender akechi real???
I mean i didnt say tha—
(I also wonder the levels of internalized transphobia she might have)
Like, i can def see quite a bit of self loathing coming from her
"being a kid and growing up. it's hard and no one understands." is a really deep quote that comes from homestuck it might be possible to fit it in somehow or something idk
She warned you about stairs, bro.
What a beautiful day for gex
You cooking?
well, if i did anything pq i'd like to at least have the p3 and p4 'au' games done as well (or close to that)
holy shit p5 dlc is tame by comparison
level 16 debilitate 😭
thoughts on the wall skill suggestions?

Good
You could use lossless scaling
Not as good as native 60 but it’s as good as you’re gonna get
Plus you barely have to turn the camera so that weird artifacting that happens on a lot of games when you look around isn’t an issue here
30 fps is charming for older games imo
I do wish nintendo switch was 60 fps though
(I'd jailbreak it and overclock the cpu/gpu but my switch is patched...)
I did see someone on Twitter name her girl kisser
rei tyt x kotone. redduo but yuri...
idk man looks like normal cat owner behavior to me :V
Great minds think alike
She just like kid me with grandma's cat fr fr
... I miss her 
I miss the cat, to be specific
Wait that sounds bad
Grandma is alive
True...
rip kotaro
Oh yeah my abscence was me touching grass
I just put on whatever was in front of me to go out and i think i just commited a crime against fashion as a whole
Well if i did the tyt au thing, then kotone would be uh... transmasc? From the usage ive seen, it doesnt seem to be limited to trans men tho so i have no idea what that'd mean here tbh
Although ig some already view rei as transmasc
im really out of my depth with trans topics in general
tho i guess if i had permission i could do p3r kotone, and there i would like to explore a cis kotone
oh i could reference pq2 on the extra movies i'll add to p5r
i can even just take some audio clips from the game for my own custom audio that plays on that little event cutscene (that was extremely loud when i played on my ps4)
reminds me, the p5 anime cutscenes were so fecking loud on my tv too
(if only pq2 had sumi... it might have been good)
tactica's whole reason was def to give us chibi sumi. atlus saw the errors of their ways
theres a mod to replace noir with violet
i saw it, but you would be replacing haru
should've replaced ren
yeah 
true...
(ignore the male only armor and stuff)
would take omega code editing to add a party slot for her and none of the 6 people who care to mod q2 know reverse engineering 
(i am one of those 6 people)
what is this ship 😭😭😭😭😭
like sure i dont have much grounds to judge but this is a whole new level
also that doesn't even have sumi why is it popping up there
the tactica party
akeharu arranged marriage au but instead of falling in love they just beard for each other
very little chibi sumi gifs rip
(its still afternoon here)
ngl this art makes her look like she has buckteeth
🤓
shoulda been fangs smh
there's also an akechi sleep gif. but no ren. not the full royal trio
now im imagining a vampire sumi

this sounds way too menancing coming from him
not red smh
royal trio are going to force you to go to bed
but is there a morgana one
kinky
no but there's also a futaba one
smh not leaning into the memes
ok actually ngl this one consumes a weird amount of brainspace
has for a while
HOLY FUCK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA
reminds me of a webcomic i was reading a while back
properly cropped smh
this one
my favorite lesbian
man, in theory using the ds4 touchpad for the 3ds screen sounds good, but for anything precise it is way too tiny and clunky. plus you have no visual feedback 
i was gonna work on this today but i forgot i had to go out today oops
oh uh ig i added the p3/4 font (how will this show up in computers without it tho?)
send a link and I'll get back to you lol
I'm guessing it might store the font in that file actually given it's Google drive but
its excel
well it'll load a default font then
wait, is this for external viewing? why use Microsoft office over Google drive
offline reasons
well like is this supposed to be linked on the mod page or is it just for you
it comes inside
oh
wait this sounds really...
im basically making documentation of most stuff in the mod im keeping in these excel files
tho considering how reliant on images they are, it might be best to have this be a separate download...
anyways I think hosting it online is better for multiple reasons but I understand also having an offline option
oh
seeing that size...yeah LMAO
counterpoint: the documentation would automatically be accurate for the version you downloaded it for
(idk how useful that is)
- what if you make a mistake in your documentation
- have multiple tabs or sheets if you want
me? mistake? pft
ig i could host online too
poor kotone everyone is DEAD 
😭
okay i think i got all the ice skills written down
i'll add them to the game tomorrow
but fr correct me if im ever wrong about something
holy fuck they remembered
holy shit

why this goes so hard
i kinda wanna put this somewhere in the mod but i have no idea where it would fit
what if i add a whole new cinema palace just for this 
... /j im /j'ing
unless...?
maybe i should go back to spreasheets before i get any weird ideas
okay this may be somewhat related but i was wondering
what if i brought back the scrapped idea of the metaverse and the real world being more connected than it seems?
this way i can have some 'areas' in the overworld that can lead to some minibosses or smth idk
it would be a way to get you to use your personas without going to the metaverse
they'd be more quests than anything repeatable
(i may be having thoughts of the theater being affected by such 'distortions')
(what am i doing)
i wonder if that would actually be possible
i mean... if you think about it there's like just enough time left in the year after maruki's palace to slot in another palace... so time's not the issue...
couldnt you theoretically go the rest of the second year? unless there's some hardcoded stuff
(no, no. im not entertaining that)
bro what is this name
i don't think you can go past march 2017 into april 2017 no. but the rest of feburary and march should be playable hypothetically?
this sounds... close to what i've been thinking
if the logic is all handled in the scheduler, then you can just gut it to continue as normal. unless there is no calendar at all after march
idk why they would make a calendar for after march
the ui just stops scrolling after you get to march at least
the in game calendar view i mean
do it

it would become april again and since theres no year parameter to the scheduler youd presumably just do a timeloop
tbf you could just run different logic based on a flag that'd decide the year
also shit that tracks how many days since the "first" day of the game would probably freak out
i mean i guess
like it actually does use a flag to run different procedures depending on if third sem is unlocked, and then another one for specifically royal ending procedures
what if we used the gay flag
(also in terms of canon youd be cutting into strikers and tactica time but who cares)
wait strikers is the same year as third sem???
its. the summer after p5 lmfao
i forgot the timeline of both dancing and strikers ig
persona mod that abuses that to make the entire game a time loop on purpose would be funny
i am very interested in when you thought strikers happened lmao
finally i can be in a perpetual looping of time so i can hang out with my waifu again
at least a year after. idk why
i mean i guess you could say its "a year after" in the sense that most of p5 happens in 2016 and strikers happens in 2017, but thats not a year after third sem thats a year after the rest of the game before that :V
you see, my memory is not good so i often forget stuff if i havent touched it in years
one upside: i got to experience ace attorney trilogy all over again almost like it was my first time
(yes my memory issues are that bad.)
tangent, why do they call it a semester when theres 3 of them
idk are they stupid
welp, this'll be a good night for the gays
hmm if they were dogs, which breed would makoto and haru be each 🤔
makoto left, haru right 🤔
(i chose plushie for maximum floof)
She is constantly mooning the player.
I just woke up in the middle of the night. Hello
hewwo
hi
Morning. Hopefully i do progress today
Oh ive been wondering... would this futaba be less overtly 'perverted' than originally, because of the fear of being seen as a 'predator'?
Or maybe she just has no filter like usual idk
I mean, as a lesbian i am scared of looking the wrong way and being seen that way too. But it looks like this is just as big an anxiety for trans girls as well?
A mix of both. You know once she gets that the PTs are comfortable with her eccentricity, she'll probably let the floodgates open, but until then Mum's the word
yeah i can see it
specially once she, yknow, is mwa mwa with the girls
going back to this
maybe i could have smth like...
Thermo Wall - Party-wide Fire/Ice Res + Matarukaja
Storm Wall - Party-wide Elec/Wind Res + Masukukaja
Cosmic Wall - Party-wide Psy/Nuke Res + Marakukaja
Tetraja - Party-wide Insta-Kill Block + 1/4(25%) Healing
Elemental Wall - Single-target Fire/Ice/Elec Res + Makarakarn
Force Wall - Single-target Wind/Psy/Nuke Res + Tetrakarn
now, elemental wall's effect may seem a bit contradictory, but you still have the other elements that are not covered by it, so it provides makarakarn + 3 turns of extra defense against 3 elements
i'll chew on it
one thing to note is that the -kaja skills all cost HP to cast, while the -kunda skills cost SP, but these walls would cost SP

ugh i still havent managed to find the perfect song for the kamoshida fight
something kinda religious-soundy or culty like knights of the holy spear would fit best (but knights of holy spear theme i use more for one of the miniboss that works under him, and doesnt fit much a fight of kamoshida's magnitude imo)
kaneshiro palace first half maybe?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVxczpukraU
yay half of the ice skills are in
if i do run out of slots even while overriding every item skill i can, then ig i'll have to cut down on the more redundant variations
but if possible i'd like to keep the variety im going for
what about eiha and kouha though
There isnt break/wall effects for those
Holy fuck i just slep for 3 hours straight in the afternoon
me when i touch the bed for 1 nanosecond
same energy
??? why is nuke wall the only one like that 😭
the record for rarest skill might go to nuke wall ngl
just... why
like, even the network fusion stuff sounds easier
finally found suitable skill slots for all of them
the rest is just editing the effects and asigning sounds and effects. then i'll be going to elec
(for the aqua skills rn im using the bufu animations with the se of lullaby, which sounds like bubbles. idk if there's a better fx)

i see the vision but also in my experience as a kinky autistic queer sometimes you just completely do not register how something comes off until youve already fucking said it 😭
how should i be going about it... 🤔
holy shit wait, polls!
polls, truly the solution to mankind's biggest problems
(begin reserved would be like, way longer than she is 'reserved' in vanilla)
like i kinda just am not afraid of that shit tbh, but i also was never traumatized to the point that i couldnt leave my bedroom
fair
maybe blurt out and isntantly apologizing afterwards with stuff like 'i didnt mean it that way' or smth
online: im way too freaky and TMI
irl: 
i barely say anything from my mouth
(anyone has any other trans yuri shipping besides bridget/may and mizuki/ena? im running out of material)
(actually, how many canonically trans characters are there?)
isn't there a couple from wataoshi 
you mean the one with a girl with a curse and rae's friend?
i guess that technically counts
||trust me. i've been mostly holding back due to the rules
||
(wait this didnt tie the poll to the reply)
(this one)
bruh why is kamoshidaman so difficult
am i missing some etrian odyssey strat
are you trying to fight him or make him?
Is based on Eltrian Oddesy, so the grind is real as there is no time limit
tbf there isnt much of a time limt for grinding in p5 too
If it's normal Kamoshidaman, guard until the scripted fight is over, steal the statue, then just Rush.
Bunny-Man, don't take out both carrots
they even give free sp on mementos
ive fought him on fucking safety to test a mod and it still took me actual effort bruh
i heard of stuff like poison the main body, and moving out damaged guys to back row
Taking out both carrots will cause him to go Berserk, aka use very powerful attacks.
love how the game gives you straightup misinformation
'destroy both carrots!!!!'
oh i also heard of line guard ann for fire res
i think in my actual playthrough it took me like...8 attempts?
im trying to remember what i did
i know i had kotone because links are really fuckin good
why dont haru and makoto join the fight or smth they are free arent they
idk what nyx is smoking i vmuch did take out the carrots
Be atleast Level 12, do NOT use Yusuke as one of the carrots uses fire dmg.
Right Carrot (carrot in his left hand) is weak to Bless and Fire. The other Elec and Curse.
Best Team is Joker, Ryuji, Ann, Akechi and FEMC.
i was using akechi because kouha + refresh but apparently mona's media (that i still dont have) is just better
the moment i took out the carrots, he fucking kicked one-shot my mc 😭
yes im on risky
i think i had jonkler/crow/mona/kotone/skull?
idr it was like years ago at this point lol
... media is lvl 13 😭
dick gay
Bean Flick
both technically real names might i remind yall. there's nothing unusual about them
I'll just copy paste a strat I looked up. Be aware it's a long one
nah i'll just figure out from what random redditors said
my strat is from a random redditor tho
im still surprised they ported the etrian games but not the pq games
i forgor do binds work in that fight
like im sure pq would sell well
here, just take it.
can you have them by that point
Long Words inbound
idr
i think akechi is almost learning one
Generally recommended you be level 12+ for the fight (I have typically been around level 15). The best team for the job is Joker, Ryuji, Akechi, Anne, FeMC. Avoid Yusuke no matter what, since one of his carrots does Fire damage. Have Ryuji in the front row along with Joker or Akechi (if you're on Risky, it should be Akechi, otherwise it doesn't matter much). Everyone else goes to the back.
The carrot on the left side of the screen (misleading named "Right Carrot" because he's holding it in his right hand) is weak to Fire and Bless, the other one is weak to Electric and Curse. The team I recommended above can all do at least one of those elements, and you can use Sub-Personas to give each one the ability to strike with something that'll Weak-hit the other. It's also recommended you have a Sub-Persona that can use Poisma; debuffs are handy as well.
When the fight starts, inflict Poison on Kamoshidaman and focus fire on the left-side carrot, using the elements it's weak against. Have Futaba start using Mini-Recovery immediately, because it heals at the end of the turn, and you're gonna take damage. Ryuji should Line Guard. If you finished the map on the first floor, there's a reusable item that will restore 30 HP to him as well, which you can have someone spam on him every turn. Between that, and Mini-Recovery, he should stay standing. FeMC should use Fire Link if she's got a boost, but otherwise have her use Agi...the HP cost is too precious in this fight.
Once the first carrot's down, move on to the second. Replace Poisma or Mini-Recovery if/when either of them drop. Some people like moving Anne to the front line for this and having her do Line Guard, as the Carrot Bomb attack is fire element, so her natural resistance makes her decently tanky to it (plus Ryuji will have Zio for this phase). Whether you take advantage of this or not is kinda up to you.
After both carrots are down, assuming you've been keeping the poison in place, Kamoshidaman will probably be at around half health. He'll lose his resistance to all and gain a weakness to Fire. You can probably guess where that's going. Burn him hard, but do not use an All-Out Attack. If you do, he will immediately get up and cast Fire Screen, negating his weakness. If you don't AoA, there's still a chance he'll get up and use it, which is dependent on difficulty (on Hard it happens pretty frequently, on Easy it never does, on Normal, well, somewhere in between...I was on Normal on my last run and he never got up). As long as he doesn't Fire Screen, you can basically take advantage of boosts to keep him on his back for the rest of the fight. If he does get to attack, be warned, he hits harder when the carrots are gone, so make sure Ryuji has Line Guard ready to go, and be prepared to heal him intensely if needed. Continue to keep Poison on him, as it does massive damage.
im a persona fan
this is the one i saw lol
ur welcome
the game is like 'searching throughly has higher chance of shadow attacking you!!!' and then i do it for 3 spots straight and no shadows
i want the exp game
when, if you haven't already, will you fight a FOE
tbf rng is just sorta like that lol
if its not 100% chance its 50% chance B)
i did and couldnt do it until the internet reminded me panic was a thing
(i am ripping off every joke about accuracy in competitive pokémon)
tbf every game with accuracy percentages on screen will have jokes like that
focus miss go brrr
xcom fans when they have a 99.99999% chance of winning the lottery (odds are too unlikely)
persona fans when they have a 99 chance of winning the lottery
dont ask me why, but every wall that was basically a cop or taxi car i colored appropriately
which chibi ann is better? 🤔
||is it just me or pq2 ann looks a bit thicker than she is usually protrayed||
left.
atleast the left one has both full legs.
i also like legs
is there a name for this type of cartoon leg
a big stub that ends with a suggestion of feet
||talking about this, a thicker ann would've been 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ||
i like the whip making a heart shape
... i could make a poll out of this
truly the most divisive poll yet
Q2 designs just look better imo.
Monas is weird, like they kept the size of his head the same and barely increased his body size
FINALLY
He was already chibi.
girlfriends <3
I can't believe Kotone is cheating on Aegis.
its a polycule smh
I can't believe they kicked Aegis out of the polycule for not being able to name all of the Beatles.
if i were to say, tactica ann is cuter. but i like q2 ann more ||for reasons||
idk a single one of their names 
||how many reasons? two of them?||
||
||
wow someone actually using the right name
why would aegis be the right name
if its aegis they could've just named her aegisu smh my head
The aegis ( EE-jis; Ancient Greek: αἰγίς aigís), as stated in the Iliad, is a device carried by Athena and Zeus, variously interpreted as an animal skin or a shield and sometimes featuring the head of a Gorgon. There may be a connection with a deity named Aex, a daughter of Helios and a nurse of Zeus or alternatively a mistress of Zeus (H...
i really like how they give more of an identity to the characters here. i mean, anything more than 'main element + support' is a welcomed change from p5
still, for a game with characters of all 3 modersona games, they could've had some more elements imo
why remove the 3 phys types
heck, at least p5 has pierce in gun
"Were Ice and Water always separate elements? Eh, whatever."
tbf you dont really need to separate them
but stuff like tera/magna could come back
clearly for a pq3 with all p1 to p6, we'll need to bring every p1 element back for characters to not be samey 
And bring back the dozens of status ailments from MIP as well.
sick lmao
"what if poison 2"
if poison is so good where's poison 2—
what is this, bioshock?
(what is
here ocean)
truly the ailment of all time
"i'll inflict you with euphoria 😈 "
help
(im accessing through the thread list screen)
hit rate and evasion dropped by what? 50%, 100%?
is was trying to type an emoji by doing the : but i accidentally held something else that also made a circle around my mouse and suddenly did this to the thread's screen
can't see anything from there
wtf i didnt know that was a thing on discord
ctrl + /
neither did I lol
Ctrl + also zooms in or out discord. though everyone knows that for all sites.
no one knows how to fix this?
because yes
i was thinking 'if only there was an easy-to-mod persona game to do this'
then my stupid brain went like
'what if you made your own game'
not every idea is a good idea
-# alghough i do want to start my own gamedev career soonish and maybe this would help—
yeah idk if thats obvious but i have focus issues 
as do I.
I try to do everything but make my mod
my excuse is my mod is gonna be trash cuz there's no exe editing involved
you might want to make a better excuse
Okay, let's see.....
My excuse is I'm pretty sure the game will crash if I even attempt to change bosses
interesting...
hmmm my vision is...
futaba comments on the size of ann's chest, then immediately catches herself and backpedals saying that she's envious
i do want the different circumstances to affect her behavior somewhat
"do i wanna be her, or do i wanna do her..." - socrates, probably
(not my dumbass accidentally clicking to see the votes in the png i myself sent
)
anyway, i finally finished the ice skills
now for elec (tera is str and zio is mag. yeah i know dont ask)
(tomorrow. im done for today)
||i wanna kiss bridget||
Btw trans rights
good night for me (I have to wake up at 9 am :,) 
omg shes so cute 😭
ngl on my first impressions i wasnt a huge fan of futaba because of the obvious otaku bait that she was (in a similar vein: ann). but lately as i've been looking more at the character themselves, i've been liking her more and more
(and, well, ann is now my fave)

im abbrevbiating
im aware, but why have the label if you're listing the damage itself 
simply to give a better idea of what the number means
not everyone is used to the base power values. like, if you're coming from pokemon, 100 may seem like a lot, but thats just medium
if the number doesnt explain what the number means, then you probably dont need to display the number though
unless the number does something different depending if it's mid, heavy, etc
but then there are skills with differences in power within the label itself
how are you supposed to know if heavy is stronger than heavy numerically without going to the spreadhseets?
im just having both because that allows for easier understanding and planning
if that's important, then the label is meaningless if you can't use it to compare skill effectiveness
i have no idea what the issue here is
label is there for:
- teaching the player where the numbers supposedly sit on the power level scale if they dont already know
- very quick at-a-glance understanding of the power level itself
- another way i do that is by giving the skills their own grading, so that multihits' relative power are more easily understood because the damage formula is stupid (i also am doing this to incentivize use of skills that may not seem as strong by giving them high ratings)
number is there for:
- more accurate info for players that need it, without having to alt tab to the spreadsheets
- which in turn allows for less clunky micro'ing when choosing skills
label = macro, number = micro
one thing i hate about this damage formula is how two 65 bp hits deal more damage than one 250 bp hit, because square roots
two weak hits > one severe
okay
(this doesnt apply to the guys here)

yeah its not so bad after a while
but gosh it sounds way too young
like, nanako young
yu? 
how common is it for straight guys to call their homies 'partner'?
... holy shit i just had an idea. stealth transfem yukiko would be poggers, specially once the naoto stuff happens 🤔
i'll keep this in mind
if i were to do a reimagining of p4, then i'd like to tackle themes of queernes involving having to hide your true self to 'pass' as normal. specially emphasizing the isolation felt by queer people in these small conservative towns
femc yu, being a very butchy girl like rei here, would be interesting to imagine here. instead of being an attractive young male like originally, she'd be an attractive young butch she'd be more of a beacon for others like her (investigation team, who all have parts of them they try to hide to conform), because she doesnt hide who she is
yeah i fuck with this idea
any objections? no? good. p4r will not be safe from my gay hands
talking about this. its kinda weird how naoto uses female armor when she is portrayed as wearing a male uniform
would be more mechanically interesting to have her use male armor imo
the girlfriends
now its ⚡ time. i'll be using dds' tera for the str elec skills, (don't ask. smt for some reason always associates zio with erthys)
(couldnt i have used magna for str fire skills...?)
title drop
talking about it, i should def play dds one of these days
i am curious to hear people's thoughts on this
there is that well known (relatively) scrapped event of something appearing in shujin from the palace visit
i forgor the specifics
one game im particularly inspired by, funnily enough, is digimon cybersleuth. more specifically the overworld missions that end with you beating a digimon causing problems in reality
i havent played yokai watch, but there's something similar there right?
having more variety for quests than just a mementos trip at least
also thematically, the distortions affecting the real world makes a lot of sense, because they are intrisically linked
... were makoto's hips always this wide?
holy shit
ahem anyway. this idea will probably add even more dev time 
i hate myself
i was gonna say, that sounds like itd be a pretty substantial story change
i kinda wonder why they scrapped that idea, seeing as doing so makes their original rationale for pt outfits and codenames irrelevant lol
like i get them persisting despite that due to rule of cool but its still kinda weird
(i have thought of doing it for like, an akechi protag story mod, if any of those akechi protag projects approach completion)
p5 has quite some inconsistencies that i cant quite remember in specific rn, but they mostly come from what appears to be leftovers from previous metaverse concepts that stuck around for reasons
||

you joke but i'm planning to make basically exactly that
i'll make first
say that again...
i think it's very cool
yay
congrats on them for coming out as a couple 🎊
man i cant believe atlus made them kiss onscreen!!!
shes the true Witch of Want.
dw once the rhythm picks back up again i'll work for 3 months straight, finish this demo, and burn out again for a month or two
(i have very unhealthy focus issues)
huh. is it necessary for her crotch to be this exposed? ig it makes riding a motorcycle easier
(i also would like to hear thoughts about this potential future endeavor)
(see the reply) about this futaba

like originally, she'll blurt out freaky stuff
the people have spoken. freakytaba it is
Yokai watch the series and in general a lot of Yokai legends are exactly that. I watched a good chunk of the tv show for fun for a ffxiv crossover. I love ancient Chinese and Japanese legends especially the nine tailed fox.
A lot of Personas are based on Yokai although they also lean heavily on Gods and Goddesses from Greek and Roman myth as well.
But that would be a lot of fun in Persona! You could even have one unique troublemaker be a rare spawn quest chain.
You’re the Awesome
tbf p2 does have something similar too
i should really just sit down and do IS and EP eventually
huh so far nuke and psi have been exclusive to haru and makoto (levelup-wise)
pls tell me they use these elements on other party members as well
pretty sure no for the investigation team, but aigis gets nuke and ken gets psi
so we still get a bazillion bufu users but two for the new cool elements each
orpheus weak to curse? thats bad if you run into Mudos
i guess the subpersona system makes up for that. still a bit disappointing
teddie should've been nuke just look at this smh
true
(man teddie's persona is so weird)
tbf teddie's weird in general so it fits
teddies persona DJ's in Dancing.
also if naoto wasn't already pulling double duty with curse/bless, she could've easily carried psy thematically
(... why is haru psy?)
because she and makoto are a pair and so are nuke and psy
i mean, true...
even not in a shipping sense, but as in they are both the senpais
ig makoto is nuke because it fits the biker thing better, even tho she could've been psy because she's booksmart or smth
plus i think they though blue would go better with makoto and pink with haru
i still am not sure what kind of personality i should be getting from wind tho
ann has fire -> she has a chance to burn enemies -> burned enemies get technicals from wind damage -> morgana has wind -> morgana simps for ann
and yusuke is wind why? he's a free spirit or smth?
actually, why is yukari wind? green = healer vibes? funnily enough she and junpei would still fit well if they swapped elements
(i am overanalyzing too much)
blame my autism
izanagi has elec and elec and wind are a pair. souyo real
true...
speaking of autism, i colored every visible square according to how it looks inagme
...
the red circles are rafflesias
my priorities are all over the place
i should really go back to the mod
i think i usually color code tiles based on if theres something of note there, and then different shades depending on whether ive stepped on the tile
my coloring style has been evolving. now im trying to replicate the feel of the area
this is what would happen if yusuke didn't say no when ren tried to give mapping duties to him
can you actually design your own map?
yeah
thats kinda like the whole point
that's a really big mechanic in etrian odyssey and the q games
aside from seeing your waifus interacting
well i only watched gameplay, not played it
average persona fan behavior
truly a persona fan
by default you have to draw your own map instead of it being automatic though you can go into the settings and turn on automatic mapping if you're lame
tbf 3ds emulation wasnt the best a decade or so ago
holy shit it has been 8 years since the jp release
(actually its closer to 7 🤓 )
automapping is only for walls tho right?
my favorite electricity: ⛰️
can you even turn off floor mapping?
i don't think so but why would you tbf it helps see where you have and haven't been for the map completion chests way easier
yeah like, if you have your own floor style, you can just paint over anyway
(not me thinking of having the color of the floor match rn...)
but that makes no sense
how would wind be weak to earth
thought i'd give that a try since i'm actually playing the game rn. i like how party members comment on you unnecessarily painting things
rip my new ravi skills. magna just fits str fire so well
yeees
i feel so acknowledged
classical greek elements 
the best part: nanako as your dungeon navi commenting on you drawing
why there are so many femc mod gifs when i search for stuff in tenor
because femc better than malec
true...
i think this may be it for str elec. str fire by comparison
the next elements should have way less than i've done for ice and fire in general
(wind and psy have no str family too)
(the desire to mod pq2 to go wild with the party member reimagining)
do it
yknow what? i could do a light 'rebalance' (not really) mod. no need to inject my yuri just yet
i really wanna do p3 and 4 first before i do any q games
(i have ambition issues as you can tell)
mood
why not 1 and 2 too while you're at it /j
you /j but i /srs
i'm not sure it'd be possible for p1 and p2? idk how much you can change
not sure how many care for these games to begin with
if p3 is so good then why there's no p1
poor mona
best ann design?

why is he so fast

i would consider p2 modding if anything the fuck were documented 😭
same... love p2
unrelated but i love women
i wonder if restoring the dungeon maker in is to the us/pal release would be possible... that thing is so cool and it's such a shame it's japan exclusive
so true
i wonder if it would be less trouble to just translate the japanese version instead
we got a second marie emoji before the first ann one smh my head
hmm
i mean you'd probably have to translate some of the main story too because you don't unlock the dungeon maker immediately. though obviously since it's already translated could probably just pull it from the english version. either that or bundle a save file that's progressed far enough
preferably both
well i was thinking of just using the official localization
hmm hows the emoji lineup... 🤔
(free to suggestions)

(Idk how many people would actually frequent that tho)
Morning homo sapiens
how do you mean?
I do think for Q it's worth playing both games to get a better understanding of their gameplay before you really start thinking of concepts (and of course the modding communities are incredibly small) but there are also a lot of interesting things that could be done with their systems. honestly I wish some of that like the navi system could be in mainline
if your goal is light rebalancing then there's certainly some stuff that could be thought of but both games already have balance mods. if your goal is light faithful writing changes (which is what I'd personally fw and see as a unique interesting niche) I think I have more to say particularly with P4 (bc I think about that game more lol)
As in, I wanna reimagine them using a rewritten version of p3, 4, and 5 as base instead of vanilla.
Aka i want to put the tyt versions (except that i wouldnt use 'take your time' for 3 and 4) of these 3 stories to interact with each other using q
yknow, its unsurprisingly hard to be 'objective' when it comes to the stuff you yourself make
like, i am aware that sometimes you truly are your own worst critic, but then making up for that reasonably is really difficult.
i at least need some time before i look back more objectively
its not like i can just not show my first drafts either
omg after playing p3p so much, having hama/mudo actually work feels so nice (pq2)
????
how is any of this hard to understand
holy flanderization
heck, even in the og ryuji wasn't stupid, much less ann
uh— if the shadow nulls confuse, why did i get a 'MISS' instead of a clear indication that it was nulled?
i love unclear ailment mechanics, specially if the game revolves around them
anyway, i now ship futanaoto naotaba

why am i getting dejavu 
i have no idea
the convo in p5-modding reminded me that i have to change this to hca
(i have no idea what music 690 is)
oh yeah uh, i've implemented this in two different ways 💀
this is a mess
I love this game to death but it’s sooo bad about this
All of the existing characters are static and flanderized like crazy
Only the new characters have any sort of depth or character arc
funny that i'd forgotten how bad this gets since the p5 characters overall are pretty down to earth, then the p4 cast came in 
i remember them being super obnoxious in pq1
btw i still dont get why the writing is so childish. is it because they thought that the chibi style would attract a younger audience or smth?
it feels weird considering how they are targetting persona players, which are mostly teenagers, but the writing feels for a preteen public instead
(deadass they are explaining the themes of the plot like dora the explorer at times)
i was not expecting that ddg
yeah the first shouldnt even work, battle themes is entirely for regular encounters 😭
(btw dora here taught english)
well it does somehow
i dont remember what i was following tho so its a mystery
tbh I was more annoyed with how akechi is
its the point where he's supposed to be showing some cracks on who he really is
but he just puts up a perfect act for the entire game
he does act very bland. i barely register him there
sadly it doesn't get better
this is at the sae palace right? its the only time in og where akechi is in our team
yea
later in the game almost the whole game feels like this since its hard to give everyone meaningful screen time when theres almost 30 people running around
it is kinda funny considering how the pts already know akechi is bad by that point, but here you'd think they are very amicable. also, makoto would've been worried about her sister at this point too
persona spinoffs are so scared at spoiling the main game for some reason
exactly, everyone is just all buddy buddy for some reason
shinji also has kind of a similar thing going on, but to a lesser extent
i dont remember if the pts are already aware akechi is black mask here or not. i think they actually learn that at shido?
i think so
they know hes plotting to kill jonkler
oh yeah isnt this during the storm at the school festival point in p3?
no thats q1
theyre in tartarus
would have to be between late august and early october
since shinji is on the team
why not november? 
/j
they arent all that outwardly mean in 6th palace either though apart from giving him grunt work under the pretense of haha newbie
yeah i think akechi would've liked if joker was mean—
snrk
secret ending where somehow the shinji is from kotones timeline and he wakes up early from the coma
p3p tries to not bulldoze over everything that made persona 3 persona 3 challenge
but hey we got kotone
the only time the goat ever returns 💔

then atlus locks her back in the closet for her to never return
yeah they should've let her out to kiss girls
apart from royal rank 8 the main "cracks" in akechis prince persona (pun intended) arent rly "edginess" either, like yeah you get the odd smirk when he does like followups but mostly its him saying technically-true things about his motivation and hints that hes trying to talk himself into. yknow. murdering his kismesis
persona????? is tht a persona 5 royal the royal reference????????????
Ig maybe the cut nav lines but those aren't actually in the game so doesnt rly count
there are a lot of details about akechi i dont remember rn. reminds me i should watch that thoughtbubble video on him
btw have cats yuri nation
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2z9_XUU_BCc?feature=share
(ive been saying this since last year)
dewit
in some timezones its already akeshu angst day 
february 2nd?
yes
but why
(godammit now i wanna write a mitsuharu fic but i have to finish my harutaba one first)
(ignore that i started a makotanntaba fic and didnt finish that one as well)
because the third awakening event 
oh
oh no almost 2/2
yes, the 511_536 event
every year I say I'll write a fic for 2/2 then never do
interesting...
yeah it's his third awakening but at the jazz club
and here i thought we'd go to his bedroom smh my head 
enough to netflix and chill
sex on the ground... really
its a futon not a carpet
no vote for haru smh
i'd argue she's topper than mitsuru. meanwhile mitsuru def bottoms to yukari
(this is so dumb lol)
every year i say ill write a fic of the game from akechis pov then never do
every year, i'll say that i'll kiss a girl but never do
(its not the only fic in this category im afraid
)
zio progress(here it kinda inverts the 'rule', by having the single target versions be less accurate, while the ma- versions are extremely accurate)
i'll be spending the next days adding these to the game ig
something about these weirder skills (that most of the time were unique skills of specific demons), is how it allows me to give the PTs more varied, off-element skills
like haru learning Souffle D'éclair because french and Ann Charming Bolt because duh
these skills are going to be by books/confidant tho, not level up
since confidant skills can be relearned any time you have access to the velvet room (book skills require you to interact with a place you can read a book. it wont pass time tho), these can sometimes just be used to double down on a specific element against certain bosses as well. would i remember to do that? no i have tunnel vision
oh yeah talking about special days
happy trans visibility day yall (it's EVERY day
)
help i cant play emulated games anymore without speeding up to at least x2 speed
i begin at normal speed for a while, the i get fedup and next i see im activating ffw
i play on nightcore mode
pft

btw i dont understand why the q games make teddie a 'pervert'? i honestly didnt get that at all from how he was in p4. maybe im misremembering?
oh btw futaba, fuuka, and rise should all kiss at once thats all
gotta love (/s) how they keep oscillating between critiquing the many very real problems of the police and then making straight up copaganda. sometimes in the same game
literally
it's like there's two guys with very opposite views randomly taking the wheel
i mean he simps for basically all the girls (and also yu sometimes) in p4 itself but i don't think he even knows what sex is tbh i think he just wants to make out with them. panromantic asexual king
this is so true
his real love is for sensei
this is true
I'm looking at the new skills and I'm thinking dear Lord I know you don't have time to grind that those kinds of skills are necessary.
(im not understanding the sentence)
do you mean you don't get it in P4 or just Q?
he reads to me as dumbass kid play-acting how he thinks romance works based on his teen friends' own dumbass behaviors
i didnt really see him as that much of a 'perv' in 4
i get a bit confused from this perception
yosuke is truly the worst example of all
He was first infected by Chie saying hot stud, starting hitting on yukiko, then yukiko AND chie, hitting on high school girls when they left school, and tried to "glomp" and even make fireworks of love with nanako.
The glomp one was NOT suppose to be like that and he took it completely the wrong way.
Didn't also help he was reading yosukes magazines.
Oh he also touched Rises ass while hugging her
The "hot stud" is the localizations attempt at translating "gyakunan" which is specifically girls hitting on guys and Kuma innocently not knowing what the word means.
even then it still works. people just take that wrongly for some reason
i also dont remember the rise part
Neither do I.
It's when Nanako gets out of the hospital, Rise was crying about her being so strong, teddie started as well, then they hugged, Rise punched teddie after saying where are you touching
yeah i need a reminder on that one
the glomp and fireworks of love would depend heavily on context, and i dont remember these contexts
Rise punching teddie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAEr2bPeZEk
uh he's not touching anything
Choice option "Give Him All You Got." for Teddie on the "Nanako and Dojima Return" event on 1/20

Could've just timestampped the link.
sry
No worries.
every time i saw this scene i literally just saw the trope of 'two people suddenly hug each other in an emotional(or often scary) moment, and when one realizes that, they usually shove the other away(specially if a girl is the one shoving a guy)', if two guys are hugging i think they both go all 'no homo' usually from what i remember from this trope
BUT me not posting a timestamp for the glomp also showed another scene of teddie being perv
the 'where' part is phrased weirdly tho. i wonder if that was also the implication in japanese
because the animation def doesnt show it
Not sure. YT doesn't have a lot of Sub voice moments, only Dub
and I don't play golden enough to record these moments.
hell, only golden moment I recorded was me Yoshitsuning all the bosses
i honestly completely glossed over the 'practicing to greet her', because i was too dumbstruck by the homoerotic joke ngl
I don't know if there's any other bad ones I missed....
Maries wasn't as bad, he was mainly joking with her and even ||mourned her when she thought she died||
that is def weird
the thing is that im more interesting on the thought process from the writers here
i really dont know what to make of this, specially due to the weird way p4 (and specially golden) is often written
sometimes i have no idea what is the character and what is the writer wanting to make a joke
I don't know either, I can't make a excuse for them on that one
see dojima. dojima the character would never cover for you cheating on futaba, but in game he does because the writers wanted him to
dojima no
im p4 brained rn
Dojima and Futaba what
Oh, I missed one but it's not about girls.
Teddie also kissed kanji regardless of who it actually was suppose to be.
Say you were the one who was suppose to kiss him, it will always be kanji no matter what
~~thats unfair
~~
But yea, teddie ain't good.
ig sometimes the line between 'the character did this' and 'the writers made character do this' can be very arbitrary and based on what you want at the end of the day
He has his good moments, but it's a lot of bad moments
truly his worst crime are the bear puns
The worst crime was the dodgy localization.
bearsona.
i wonder how revival will handle this
either keep it in but heavily censor it
OR
make a completely new joke of it
that goes for rise uppercut, glomp and fireworks.
i dont think the correct word for this is 'censor'
or even just keep it in with no censor
people overuse that word a lot imo
ig its just impossible to not make 'censoring' sound negative due to the frankly black-and-white way people view change
an interesting way of viewing this: imagine there's this character, this character is the kindest, sweetest character, but then suddenly, they turn 180 degrees and punch a random girl (its for a very funny joke trust). the thing is: after that is over, no character ever brings that event back, nor does anyone's opinion of that character change. if we removed this event, we would be technically censoring, yes. but like... is it a bad censor, if its being done for the sake of plot and character coherence?
p4 (specially golden) just has way too many tone deaf jokes in general, i ended up learning to ignore/mentally block most of them ig, so thats why i dont remember much of this
imagine there's this character, this character is the kindest, sweetest character, but then suddenly, they turn 180 degrees and punch a random girl
adachi?
tell me this is sarcasm
sure
legit its very fecking hard to hold any character accountable for most things in this game with how happy it is to OOC everyone
poor yosuke's character gets demolished by the insensitive misogynistic and homophobic jokes
tbf this kinda is part of his character at that point
is yosuke homosuke or brosuke
is there a difference
for this question yes, but in general, no
theres a critical mass where if everythings ooc nothing is
true...
anyway, i've been thinking that maybe it would be cool to have every p3 and 4 party member personas as fusable personas (i also kinda just wanna design these party members rn without making a whole new mod for a different game)
i think i could just, remove the picaros and to have the extra slots, because otherwise that'd just eat too many of the limited persona slots i have
tf is a picaro anyway
hmm what if a fusion unlocked on rank 10 of your party members was for a higher level version of their first persona (so not the same entry and different traits), and then you also unlock their first evolution for fusion after their third awakening
this way the very cool designs dont just vanish forever
game why dont you let me rotate carmen a full 360 degrees

(surprised they went out of their way for this)
(huh, she does not have a black void like i suspected. for some reason)
... why is this a question
genuinely
maybe op is 12 
unfortunately, by the replies, no 😭
it's just an unhinged guy
average persona fan really
anyway im trying to find out how tf am i supposed to get the p3r files. like, what have i accidentally glossed over
thank you, deleted user
warning: omega cringe
well that was in plain sight
y'know i was actually planning to do something similar to that for the similar p3p rebalance i brought up alongside also adding a shared strega social link and making all three of strega's personas unlock through it
is that you
sounds cool
i am offended
sorry
i was /j
i have no idea what to do with this 
it's past midnight
i'll be going to bed im tired
night
Being serious for a moment. Most of the ann 'fans' are just guys that are fans of her body and nothing else. Her character doesnt even matter to them. 
Atlus is partially responsible here too
If you like ann, you are either omega based or omega stinky, no inbetween
In other words, im a TRUE ann fan 😤
I wonder if they should be special fusions
(Typing this on the bed cause i still dont feel like sleeping)
i dont even think that ||shinji surviving|| is actually that bad in theory i cannot lie

Counterpoint: im gay
you do not have to romance him
Now actually good night, homiesexuals
I wasnt even thinking of that it was supposed to just be nonsensical
fair lol that's how i interpreted it at first though
Morning gaeas
Im starting to really like my trans yukiko idea 
"may i kiss you?"
okay who in the writing team is a chieann shipper
FUTABA????
😭
... i dont even have to out of context screenshot
futaba is a fushoji confirmed
I read a q2 ryuji x kanji fic and it was kind of peak
always has been
absolute cinema
this project has had me thinking a bit more about doing an event mod for P4
not something to the extent of this but still, some changes to go after things I don't really like
teddie 🥲
make yosuke swear
p4 if it was fixed
wasnt event editing for p4g a pain tho?
yeah it is, but I think for the most part, the scope of what I'd want to do is achievable without toooooo much work
I think
make bigender naoto real. haha jk...unless?
funny that i still have no idea what to do for naoto
idk if im being influenced by fear of the discourse™ or there's just something else i wanna explore...
well, there'll be time to think this over. i still have to finish p5 anyway
I think the main change I'd really want to see to Naoto is a pretty conservative change that would also make plenty of sense to see in P4R proper
for one of the o's smh my head


is bringing persona models and anim from p3r to p5r too difficult?
