we achieved peak. its only downhill from here

should i add this one to that mementos nekomata boss? lmao

mermaid my beloved

(for comparison, Malaqua is 50 x1-3 times. these are after squareroot already)

hopefully i can get this all done by tomorrow

i think that they should all scandalously hold hands

😭 they did my boy shinji dirty

what is the point of this??

🤨

[grand cipher]

to fist enemies of course.

[fresh mulch]

my specialty

difference in base power = x3.33
difference in final, actual damage = x1.8

i heavily dislike this squareroot system

[fresh mulch]

got the descriptions for fire, ice, and elec down so far

Why am i starting to like this idea more and more by the second

what if p4 but everyone is trans haha jk unless...

[mellow pecan]

Except Naoto, ironically enough.

[grand cipher]

no votes for chie lol

[fresh mulch]

Blahaj sweep

[fresh mulch]

But fr rn i only plan for yukiko. If i ever have another vision, well...

Gn gays

[fresh mulch]

Oh gosh, more messages than the kasumi as protag thread already

[green folio]

too much yuri...

[fresh mulch]

Is there such a thing?

[fresh mulch]

wind, psy, and nuke now

oh thank goodness i'd already done for curse and bless

time to design the almighty skills now ig

[fresh mulch]

yusuke's signature skill

(this means we wont be seeing this on the first demo)

you'll unlock this after defeating the madarame palace and he confesses, so by the second demo you wont be having much opportunity to use this either :p

artist's grace in action (also a showing of the new hama)

while yusuke is quite fast, he's more on the average side, so you'll probably want to use equips that increase his ag so he can use artist's before anyone else acts

[fresh mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-in-the-hat-cat-hat-gif-14087452410916308993

[sullen drift]

I am intrigued by the idea of FtM Kotone. reminds me I need to go back to Naoto ThemC for P3P whn I get a chance

[sullen drift]

Neko da no da!!!

[fresh mulch]

okumura's palace, maybe?
https://youtu.be/ZFUfnX4hk4M

[fresh mulch]

okay, so... i've reworked spirit drain

i want these skills to actually be good, so a flat drain wont cut it. but i also want to avoid making them too good to the point that you can just spam them against a trash mob to get infinite sp back

i'll probs have to tweak the numbers a little, but yeah this is spirit drain, it costs 10% of your max sp, but in return, the amount of sp it drains scales off of your mag stat

as you can see by the price discrepancy between level 1 jonkle and haru

while we are at it. welcome back, unused skill

[fresh mulch]

i forgor to add 'Base 20.' at the end oops

oh yeah this is old news by now, but the spirit skills also deal damage. it wont drain hp tho

also, the life drain skills

they are decent almighty damage with hp draining based on the damage dealt. thats it

[fresh mulch]

deadass why do we learn rebellion blade when loki goes back to being an archer???

[fresh mulch]

(it is 40 sp cost. just halved here)

[mellow pecan]

He shoots the sword out of the bow like an arrow.

[fresh mulch]

i was thinking that it could be interesting to have loki able to learn it, but it would've to be through levelup if we dont want other crit options to be overshadowed

[mellow pecan]

Odd that Hereward still has RH on his chest instead of HW.

[fresh mulch]

idk what would be hereward's skill tho

[fresh mulch]

huh, indeed

[fresh mulch]

same thing as
>robin hood is known for his archery skills
>robin hood persona has a big ass bow
>when using a phys skill, the animation is of an arrow being shot

>megaton raid

at least you can make a case that this is on purpose because the true akechi, loki, has a bigass sword, and this is just a front

but why hereward got no arrow themed skill

dw kechi, your hereward will get something useful for the boss (freikugel, colossal gun skill with debilitate)

tho it'd be interesting to have a unique skill themed after him like rebellion blade instead, since i want ann's ultimate skill to also be freikugel

[fresh mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/kof-king-of-fighters-king-yuri-mai-gif-13359395500632539740

[uncut depot]

they give it to loki in p3r
lmao

im not as fussed by the weirdness, its a reminder that hereward is a fusion of robin and loki, but they still def shouldve given him something arrow themed lol

[fresh mulch]

tbh im not really as fussed as i act

ugh ai ruined cat gifs

did ella always had these thicc outlines?

[fresh mulch]

shadow madarame's demon name(Azazel) is kinda genius

look rn im low on words and my brain hurts, so this will be undercooked

Azazel, basically, "represents a desolate place where a scapegoat bearing the sins of the Jews was sent" (wikipedia), which is very fitting to madarame's whole system of using up the disciples he takes in, and then discarding them. (Azazel is also known as a fallen angel that introduced forbidden knowledge to humans that advanced civilization, while introducing bloodshed. i wonder if that's the 'mentor' part here?)

specially a 'mentor' that ends up causing more harm to those he takes in

there's no prince of hell associated with vanity by the looks of it? so they had to get creative here

[uncut depot]

a bunch of the ruler demon epithets are directly demons of their respective sins but not all, about half of them break the pattern lol

mainly when the most obvious demon to use is also a persona lol

[fresh mulch]

wrath (satan), pride(lucifer), and sloth(abaddon/belphegor) are examples

shido is pride? in his case they used samael instead

[uncut depot]

that ones actually kinda clever lol since samael is identified with yaldabaoth in gnosticism

the other thing is vanity isnt one of the deadly sins (as in, recognized as one of the 7 deadly sins by the catholic church, because its folded in with pride) but has an adjacency to it, something something eastern orthodox church i dont fully remember but its the same deal with despair [sorrow]

[fresh mulch]

was wakaba wrath and futaba sloth? wakaba is closest to sphinx but idk how related to the actual mythos she is, and we dont see belphegor futaba at all (maybe for the best...)

[uncut depot]

futaba is weird because her card (at least in english) says sloth but literally everything else gives it as wrath

[fresh mulch]

funnily enough, couldn't you kinda also have used sloth for madarame?

[fresh mulch]

honestly the whole deadly sins were always kinda loose and not adhered to a t (royal adding will seeds just make it more obvious how messy it kinda is)

[uncut depot]

the average american christian conceptualizes sloth as laziness but iirc historically it was something closer to doomerism? or "god has left us" but unironically
so despair has a similar relationship to it that vanity has to pride

[fresh mulch]

strikers is even wobblier with the whole sin thing

[uncut depot]

tbf you are getting it from the fandom wiki

[fresh mulch]

yeah but as far as i remember this is about right

you expected every pt to have a corresponding antagonist, but we got ann and alice's homoerotic tension, that random book plagiarism guy and yusuke, and then the president and haru, after this the plot kinda does its own thing, and tbh, im glad it did lmao

[uncut depot]

the steam achievements look like this

"president" lol

[fresh mulch]

look my english is not the best

mayor right

[uncut depot]

mayor yeah

[fresh mulch]

btw ann and alice should kiss i dont make the rules

(deadass why every rival she has looks like they have the big gay for her?) (...im not biased nu uh)

[uncut depot]

they were really spraining themselves to try and get gluttony to work lol

then again haha vore boss

[fresh mulch]

well she def was the kaneshiro of strikers (derogatory)

[uncut depot]

the weird thing is ider how much the deadly sins even come up in the game itself, would i even know if not for the achievemnts lol

[fresh mulch]

i dont remember much of the story, so why is akane wrath again?

[lunar vector]

Tbf, Ann is clearly into that sort of thing 🤭

[uncut depot]

||shes pissed at the politician who hit and ran her mom and made his secretary take the fall for it||

[fresh mulch]

...is akane a mirror of futaba's arc?

[uncut depot]

||and at her dad for not doing more to prosecute the guy (he was threatened into cowing down to protect her)||

[fresh mulch]

considering the kind of women that was the inspiration for her pt outfit...

||just saying, ann might like bondage more than she lets on||

[lunar vector]

Even Shiho won her over by being a little mean 🤭

[fresh mulch]

OMG TRUE

ann is secretlier subbier than makoto???

[uncut depot]

i feel like shes more an impact play girl actually >:v

[mellow pecan]

The Hasegawas are a narrative mix of the Sakuras and Dojimas.

[fresh mulch]

what about temperature play?

[uncut depot]

i can believe it :v

[mellow pecan]

That's why ice is her weakness.

[fresh mulch]

atlus cant keep getting away with single dads with daughters in which the mother died on a car accident

"accident"

(well, wakaba was the only one premeditated)

oh yes and the culprit evades justice initially

(what happened to the guy in akane's case?)

[uncut depot]

arrested at the end of the game for conspiracy bullshit

[fresh mulch]

man i absolutely love only being able to either work all day or play games all day, no inbetween

[uncut depot]

mood except half the time when i work its not even the specific thing i need to get done that moment lmao

[fresh mulch]

hmmm should i use ghastly wail's slot for a completely different skill... (if i want bosses to be hit by fear without being instakillable, i have to remove ghastly wail because it just bypasses the instakill affinity check iirc? instakills default to looking at curse affinity if the skill is not bless)

well, one extra skill id slot for me

[fresh mulch]

fortunately for me, i seem to only be able to work on one thing at a time (but its always a big project, and i never get to finish it )

tbf all of these times i was just doing stuff by myself, which after the novelty spell fades out, you lose interest. i tend to stick better to projects if im sharing them, because then i dont wanna be a major disappointment

[uncut depot]

i dont have consistent control over what the thing is smh

[fresh mulch]

by now i think i would've already stopped a while ago if i wasnt here tbh

last time it was just like that, until i pick this up again a year later

[uncut depot]

oh right i should publish cinema select since its basically done
yknow in between homework, homework, my desire to vacuum the house, and some extracurricular mixup i have to sort out

[fresh mulch]

did you remember your homework?

[uncut depot]

[fresh mulch]

if i understand this correctly, a magatsu mandala would be a map(mandala) of calamity gods?(magatsu)

ig i can find use for that beyond just magatsu izanagi

the only pt i can think that'd make sense to learn this tho is third sem kechi

[fresh mulch]

||this gave me an idea...||

https://tenor.com/view/happy-cat-gif-10804346947536782797

[mellow pecan]

The others punching her Shadow was an awakening in more ways than one.

[fresh mulch]

i was like 'i dont remember this...' but then 'oh! this mod!'

omg finally its time for me to work on the ailments

i have some ideas i'll experiment with...

[fresh mulch]

TIL that i physically can't play horror games

time to go back to modding ig...

[fresh mulch]

man the mementos overview map looks so sick

too bad the actual dungeon is even more samey than tartarus

[grand cipher]

why does it even look like that. doesn't look like that in the base game...sometimes.

[fresh mulch]

(tbh im not expecting anyone here to remember the stuff i do. specially since i have no tangible demos atm)

[fresh mulch]

an italian made this

reminds me of these types of paintings (that teleporter section in madarame references that)

[fresh mulch]

actually that does make me curious

(yknow, chances are that the 'dont check very often' people are not gonna see this lmao)

[strong moat]

i feel like i check often enough that with most mods i'd be up to date but there's too much yapping in here lol

[uncut depot]

selection bias uwu

[fresh mulch]

hmmm this is just a prototype

i guess i can use an early save to test this in a normal run, see how i feel

i'm using % for sp because i dont want ailments to be too expensive early on, but also not free late game

the idea is for the action economy to continue smoothly even when you missed an ailment (and that also goes for the enemy )

there are still the affinities, so if an enemy nulls an ailment, then that'll not even be able to reduce the stats. debuffs still have a place in being very reliable way to reduce stats, while costing a flat amount of sp

the exceptions in dormina, taunt, and marin karin have a reason
dormina is much cheaper than the rest because it puts enemies to sleep, and every turn you stall an enemy with sleep, they recover hp and sp back (specially bad with bosses, since it's %based ). however, that should make it a somewhat reliable tech generator for the longer haul simply because of the 3% sp cost, and the reasonable 60% base (although, maybe it should just be 70%. sleep is quite balanced)
taunt is an ailment that you can use if you wanna inflict something without spending sp. taunt was chosen because it is extremely all or nothing, and needing to sacrifice some hp against an enemy to taunt them can be somewhat risky, since taunted enemies have more strength. it is on the higher end of the ailments at 70% chance (also, enemies often have different types for their basic attack, so you cant rely on null phys)
marin karin im still torn on, because i fear 60% will make it too unreliable for dungeon crawling, but i fear 70% is too good against bosses. marin karin gives you one of the stronger ailments, while costing a fortune through all stages of the game. its designed to be used less against mobs, and more in important fights (specially if you know the enemy is weak), since the 12% sp adds up quickly

this is all theory tho, and i'll probably be playtesting this tomorrow in a mock run

[grand cipher]

you should have marin karin almost always miss as a tribute to p3

[fresh mulch]

marin karin hits very often tho

[grand cipher]

I've only seen clips of it missing, same with yukari always missing while saying I won't miss

[fresh mulch]

because what gets clipped is the funny stuff, not the things working

[grand cipher]

then make it a high chance of missing for funnies

[fresh mulch]

no.

[fresh mulch]

anyway, good night ya bunch of homosexs (affectionate)
plz answer this poll i'm quite curious

[fresh mulch]

tbh my yukari critted way more than she missed. maybe use the toy bow instead? there's no point in using higher damage bows with low hit when all you want is either an ailment or a crit from her basic attack

[sullen drift]

Btw I really like the concept of a FeMC Makoto/Sakuya. Kotone is very much her own character as a Female person. if you take the basics of MC P3 and make them a Female it changes the dynamics quite a bit. MC in P3 is dour and goth/emo and doesn’t talk much and as female person that gives her a decidedly different dynamic with every character. Both if she is mtf or afab.

Looking forward to everything

Yuki is a great name because since yer not using Kanji it can mean Snow and Courage. I had a character choose that name to remember her best friend who was a Yukineko and to give herself courage.

It’s a great name! Also since Ki can mean soul it’s like giving Yu another soul… the soul of a woman.

This will have me finally play the Makoto route on p3p. It has me wanting to have a serious talk with someone about reviving the Naoto mod for Reloded as well.

Ken being trans would explain his crush on Kotone; He doesn’t want to be with her she wants to be her… and then when He(Kotone) transitions She(Kxx) realizes that she saw something in Kotone that was like herself. (not saying keep the crush(no) just that Ken being trans explains it)

Asumi Kana’s stage Kotone is very butch in personality so I can see the path.

I need to stop writing novels on here and work on my own instead of watching time travel kdramas on viki

——-
But thank u Girlkisser and Raven you are the superheros us trans people need

[fresh mulch]

Morning homosexs

[uncut depot]

hola

[fresh mulch]

lmao the coincidence

[fresh mulch]

Im out today so i was playtestint through remote play when i had some time.
Ngl its kinda surreal seeing my new events this way.

[fresh mulch]

example of some of the reworked ailments

i was gonna playtest them, but better to use that time to also playtest every other change i wanna make, meaning i still have to finish the other skills

[fresh mulch]

..right i still dont know how i'll handle tarukaja and co.

one thing is that i originally made buffs cost hp, and debuffs cost sp, because its such a wide gap in how efficient one tarunda is vs 4 rakukajas
the problem is that the script flips once we go to the multitarget skills
multitarget debuff can often be worse than multi. in vanilla i always avoid giving my allies a ma- kunda skill, because it's way more expensive for something i'll ever use for bosses that rarely have more than 1 target, meanwhile multitarget buffs are extremely efficient

i could swap around so multi debuf cost hp, and multi buff cost sp, but im not a fan of the 180 switcheroo from the single target versions. feels messy ig?

the idea i had to kinda balance multi buff in these cases, is having most multi-ally skills (even media) not affect the user, but only your allies, and i think this is the most solid plan i came up with?

im trying to think of other ways but so far that has been the best

actual downgrade. i always keep tarunda instead

24 sp what were they thinking 🫠

not to mention how the fights you expect multi target debuffs to excel at, mobs, its actually even worse than against single target bosses

1 - more often than not, hordes of enemies are easily delt with. wasting a sizeable chunk of sp to debuff them is stupid
2 - in the occassion you defeat them and another wave of enemies appear, preventing the battle to end, it would've been better to buff yourself instead, since that'd carry over to the second enemy wave

point 2 is kind of similar reason to why debuffs are sucky in pokemon

so yeah, 99% of the time i see literally 0 zero to keep multi target debuffs in hand

(good thing most of my bosses will have adds)

[fresh mulch]

-# well, at least against players. but even against bots its more efficient(and broken) to setup sweep

now im imagining a universe where you can stack 6 buffs in smt...

[uncut depot]

https://i.imgur.com/MiZZKTp.gif

[fresh mulch]

the insurmountable gap between screech and swords dance (why can that even miss lmao)

debuffs tend to work better in doubles tho i think?

[uncut depot]

i watch too much wolfey for someone who doesnt actually play and theyre not bad though i still dont see anyone run screech

[fresh mulch]

85% acc

[uncut depot]

incin parting shot to debuff and fuck off

[fresh mulch]

tbf that is more than just the debuff (and intimidate is auto)

but single buffs are technically worse than multi debuffs in doubles at least

[uncut depot]

thinking about it i tend to see debuffs in vgc more as an effect of a move rather than the only effect (parting shot, drawback of a strong attacking move etc)
abilities that debuff are good though lol

[fresh mulch]

also the literal only times debuffs have been usable in singles is for degenerate pp stalling || || gimmicky sets

(or memento too but that is also a pivot like parting shot)

[uncut depot]

icy wind in doubles is nice for speed control

[fresh mulch]

holy shit is that a p5 reference?????????????

[lunar vector]

I am a big believer in Debuffs Need To Be Designed Better... secondary effects, more stacking... like they just need to be nastier and more efficient/turn-economical and more like status conditions to be anything at all.

[fresh mulch]

honestly if string shot had better distribution (-2 speed, both enemies), i wouldnt be surprised if it appeared more often even if it doesnt do much else

(icy wind still better for turn efficiency in damage + control)

[fresh mulch]

pokemon or perperone 5?

[lunar vector]

Basically any RPG.

I even include tabletop in that. Debuffs on their own are almost never a good use of turn economy.

[fresh mulch]

what if there were no debuffs and that function was tied to ailments instead (like how pokemon burn halves atk, para speed, p5 dizzy reduces acc, etc) 🤔

[lunar vector]

I think that's the better way to do it, yeah.

[fresh mulch]

(well i'd have to do that in my own selfmade game, 'cause i cant really here. but good food for thought)

[lunar vector]

True, lol, but if we're talking general design stuff.

[fresh mulch]

etrian odyssey kinda has something like that with binds right? except you can also debuff for the more guarantee effect (at least in the q games)

i swear sometimes even stacking tarunda with another atk reducing effect barely does anything

and i have no idea how much defense debuffs are helping me

[fresh mulch]

actually isnt the okumura boss the second example at its most extreme?

sure, technically multitarget debuffs would be nice, but its a waste of your limited turns, and that doesnt carry over to new bot waves

ig marakunda could have a use

[uncut depot]

it is kinda useful at the green guys actually just because theyre hard to break through fast enough, they seem to be the main chokepoint i see people get stuck on

i include myself in 2020 in people lol

[fresh mulch]

my main chokepoint is the final bigass bots

||i was gonna say 'big black bots', but that just sounds... wrong||

[uncut depot]

i was confused cus you put that in plural when theres only one

[fresh mulch]

oh that one is singular?

then probably the green ones then

oh yeah they are the ones weak to psy

[uncut depot]

its orange then blue then green then the black one then cognitive haru (😭)

[fresh mulch]

??

[fresh mulch]

cognitive haru was truly the boss of all time

||cognitive shiho 2.0||

[uncut depot]

im psure that ones just to make you feel bad lol
but can still kill if youre stupid apparently (i was stupid)

[fresh mulch]

... you can lose to her?

[uncut depot]

i got blown up by the selfdestruct lmao

[fresh mulch]

im looking at everything i can possibly do in the skill.tbl for alternatives, but i honestly can't find anything besides making the kajas 'all allies but self' and the ma-kajas 'all allies'

doesnt feel like much of an upgrade this way tho

honestly worth a try, and the ma-kajas could end up being the reliable option to buff everyone, but have sidegrades that affect multiple stats like in other smt games (eg power breath) that can afflict all your allies but yourself

that way it would be reasonable to have kajas cost sp again no?

(tho i do like the dynamic of the buffer turning more fragile as they lose hp in bosses...)

dont ask why im shouting

honestly, even if most bosses had adds, single target debuffs are still more efficient than single target buffs mathematically speaking (unless we are talking like, a tanky character using taunting aura + rakukaja, which fair point here, that one defense buff is better than multiple tarundas... unless the boss uses aoe )

this just sounds more equal tbh

i'll experiment alongside my new ailments and see

[strong moat]

is it possible to apply two buffs with a single skill in P5R?

[uncut depot]

i want to say yea but idr for sure

[fresh mulch]

yes

in fact you could theoretically only apply half of the effects of sukukaja too

[strong moat]

right, bc hit/eva right

[fresh mulch]

yeah they are handled separately even tho i dont think they are ever used separately

[strong moat]

it's funny that there isn't the ability to make tarukaja/makakaja in p5r

[strong moat]

maybe with cadenza?

wouldn't be surprised if it's never though

[fresh mulch]

p5 makes it both

[strong moat]

earlier discussion: personally I find that AOE debuff is still pretty useful in persona games although it depends what debuff

generally by the time you get them, SP isn't a big factor

[fresh mulch]

yeah but it still feels bad to use so much on a single -attack against a boss

[strong moat]

it also depends how frequently you run into difficult enemy encounters consisting of >1 target

[strong moat]

I didn't really mind at all haha the cost wasn't really a big factor for me

[fresh mulch]

[strong moat]

I think in P4G you'd feel the cost but that's bc you can get AOE buff/debuff sooner

if you ignore magician card then I think it's the same deal

[fresh mulch]

magician restores sp?

[strong moat]

it upgrades skills

[fresh mulch]

oooh you mean that

[strong moat]

yeah shuffle time

shuffle time is the source of 95% of P4G's balance issues lol

ok maybe 90%

[fresh mulch]

p3p at least has nothing gamebreaking so far in the shuffle times

[strong moat]

P3P has its own problems though

[fresh mulch]

"you must be tired" says fuuka
we are not tired
funny holdovers from fes lmao

[strong moat]

the combo of the new 1-more system and keeping more or less the same difficulty/balance from P3/P3F (tactics only games) makes for a very disappointing experience

[strong moat]

nah that one has a purpose

it means when you leave Tartarus, x character will be tired

they just prevent tiredness from applying while in dungeons (which is dumb but whatever)

[fresh mulch]

true ig(even if it just reminds me of what we lost)

[strong moat]

something that would be closer to your point is fuuka oracle

the text is just completely wrong

lol

[fresh mulch]

is this the description in portable?(this only showed p3/fes/reload)

[strong moat]

you can look back at every persona game after P3F and see where each one starts causing issues lol

[strong moat]

it's when the effect is applied

for example one of the random effects in fes is that your HP can be set to 1

portable removes all negative effects (and also changed the text), but they didn't update the text

[fresh mulch]

oh

[strong moat]

yeah

completely different yet they don't update the text

pretty awesome

note that portable oracle can also only be used once a day so it's kind of a nerf lol

reload oracle fixed this but then becomes overtuned

even though fuuka is at her strongest in reload I do still think P4G rise is a stronger navi

[fresh mulch]

hmm

[strong moat]

futaba P5R would probably be stronger but she doesn't act nearly as much as rise

also it's very easy to manipulate the rise support ai

[fresh mulch]

gaslighting

[strong moat]

yeah so I think if it retained the P3P effects that would be acceptable, but reload brings back the HP/SP restoration

hopefully you can see the issue here

again: rise still stronger lol

but

[fresh mulch]

im honestly unsure how to feel about navis in general

[strong moat]

I think they have a purpose

[fresh mulch]

sure they can create cinematic comebacks, but also the 'im going to do x next turn— navi does for you' is kinda disappointing

[strong moat]

later persona games tend to make them do more stuff which yeah

I still think the best implementation of navis in persona is Q/Q2

I was hoping P3R would do something closer to that but it does its own thing that is worse lol

[fresh mulch]

who would've thunk that the game strategically benefits more from being able to decide when to use the navi skills, instead of being random get-out-of-jail cards

i wish we had more of that in mainline

[strong moat]

note P4 rise also kinda sucks ass too as a Navi but "bad" navis just mean they don't provide much support buffs wise

[strong moat]

yeah that's why I think Q/Q2 are the best. their Navi bars work like theurgy if you think about it but bc they have the different costs, it ends up being really interesting

Rise is not the best Navi in Q, Fuuka is better. imo she's the best in Q2 though given Fuuka's nerfs

[fresh mulch]

(btw is it just me or 2 whole points for the underwhelming baton pass effect is a bit too much in pq2?)

[uncut depot]

i think itd be cool if you could slap an accessory on futaba and that becomes a skill you can call sometimes
but alas futaba equipment doesnt matter

[strong moat]

remind me what that does

[uncut depot]

eh, i didnt find the navi bar hard to charge

[uncut depot]

move boosts from one character to another

[strong moat]

also yeah I think Q style navis in any mainline would require substantial code/RE bullshit

but it would be cool as hell

[fresh mulch]

yeah its like, okayish for using free mediaramas ig? but 2 points for that feels too much

otherwise spotlight just works better lol

[strong moat]

ahhh

[uncut depot]

me wanting to give wrath ring because its from her palace but theres no point mechanically

[fresh mulch]

imagine if wrath ring gave a navi-useable passive smh

[strong moat]

also I think the other thing is that Q navi skills don't cost anything permanent which I actually think is good

[fresh mulch]

it'd be cool if some passives worked with futaba because of the accessory system

if there is a navi skill i should not allow futaba to have, what would those be 🤔

these honestly feel quite balanced

[uncut depot]

ultimate support

[fresh mulch]

explosive scheme trait tho... like, it doesnt matter in base game, but here with higher enemy hp, that is just too much cheese

[fresh mulch]

maybe have subrecover sp ex instead? 🤔

hmmm

i forget treasure reboot is there 99% of the time lol

should be an early rank ability, not 7

[uncut depot]

i feel like emergency shift is more forgettable when you rarely have half your party deadge lol

cus i definitely did get treasure reboot procs

the issue with ultimate support is the combination ridiculous power + no restriction to when it procs

[fresh mulch]

active support's effect for max rank instead? (or maybe position hack, with how often you are forced into surrounded)

[fresh mulch]

i mean it probably does, i just forget it even is a thing

mementos scan can go right

[fresh mulch]

okay but what if i renamed it to 'trans rights' /j

[strong moat]

if ultimate support could only activate once per battle then it wouldn't be an issue anyways

it'd be strong but it's intended to be strong, its a 3rd semester skill

[fresh mulch]

hmm i wonder if for my p3p idea, having the first name be a forced makoto/kotone with editable surname would be interesting, and you get to choose the first name post the plot-induced transition part 🤔 idk would that drive the theming home? (lets ignore the potential pain that could be to include for now)

[fresh mulch]

the more i think about it, the more this makes sense

you dont get to choose your birth name, and that is a big part of the struggles trans people face.

sure no one gets to choose their birth name, but i think there's more thematic significance here at least

that mod would probably be a bit dysphoric for some, i think? but if i want to depict the egg struggle there's no way of avoiding that unfortunately

like i dont wanna shy away from showing the reality of how kamoshida would react to this femc for example

idk is that a good idea?

[uncut depot]

just slap a content warning somewhere its fine

[fresh mulch]

true

[fresh mulch]

hmm thoughts?

patra: 12 sp, cures dizzy/forget/hunger/sleep, removes debuffs
baisudi: 16 sp, cures burn/freeze/shock, heals target by 50% of their max HP
energy drop: 14 sp, cures downed, cures Rage/Despair/Brainwash/Confuse/Fear, increases target's crit rate by 7%
amrita drop: 18 sp, cures all non-special ailments

any of these effects only apply to the targeted ally

hmm maybe baisudi can get the down cure, energy drop already has plenty enough reason to be with you just by the strong ailments it cures

[fresh mulch]

hmmm

tetraja and rebellion/revolution will be buffed in other ways to compensate energy shower having their effects (they needed to be buffed anyway, since they are kinda terrible in the action economy department)

i think having useful effects (dekunda, fixed % healing, and crit rate + instakill shield) tied to skills that can cure a few of status effects as well will just increase the skill expression

instead of carrying around niche effects that occupy a whole skill slot

talking about it, dekunda at least will need a bit more to compete with me patra here

[fresh mulch]

one example would be, for example, in a tcg like idk, yugioh
there are cards that only do one specific thing, and there are cards that have multiple possible effects (either you choose, or all of them can apply if you do x thing, etc), and not only i find the multiple effect stuff more fun, but also feels better to slot in a deck than some silver bullet that might or might not be useful

(speaking as someone that only plays the retro singleplayer games lol)

welp its getting late. will probably finish the necessary basics and test drive this new combast system to see if it holds up tomorrow

[strong moat]

my opinion: patra is probably the most useful skill of these in early game. (amrita drop is not an early game skill, we can ignore that)

with that in mind I kinda feel like patra becomes rather strong here even considering the increased SP cost. me patra would directly conflict with dekunda too (this is bad)
baisudi doing 50% heal is too strong. if it cured down I think that would be fine.
energy drop increasing crit rate is only useful for phys party members and it feels a bit random too.

honestly all of these are early game skills, I understand they quickly become too niche and I am not against giving them secondary effects but you do have to be careful with them too

fucking double tap reacts...

[fresh mulch]

also, harissen is gone and most of maruki's bs as well. so this is def a welcome thing

[fresh mulch]

hmmm (btw every party member has viable crit options lol. and this is why i gave ik shield too)

thematically, energy drop would be revitalizing your spirit, so increased crit rate(the ik shield is mostly a last minute addition lmao)

[strong moat]

well what if I decided to not build my party members as crit bc they were better suited as magic for example

what are your options to cure or avoid ailments in battle rn? since you removed some options altogether

[fresh mulch]

thats the funny part, everyone here is designed to work well with phys/gun (even almighty with crit)
anyway what could be a good other effect instead? 🤔

[fresh mulch]

your options are the skills. thats kinda the point of removing the options, so you engage with these systems

also, your party members have their own ailment affinities

some armor will null certain ailments, weapons, etc

im just rewarding more planning rather than tanking ailments headon like in vanilla

[fresh mulch]

even the lowest str stats (mona and sumi) also have some of the highest luck stats, meaning they naturally crit very often as well (mona would deal triple damage on crit btw. if i can get the trait stuff to work)

welp, i have a whole night's rest to sit on this and see if there are better things i can comeup with

and if i do proceed with dekunda patra, then i'll also redesign dekunda and dekaja to see if those would work

btw IK shields are very useful here, since enemies will be spamming hama/mudo (that have been buffed as well)

[strong moat]

so what, then no character has a specific niche they specialize in?

cuz that's what I'm hearing

[fresh mulch]

no? some are better than others at certain niches

they are just more flexible, but for example, ryuji is not a good magic caster

[strong moat]

well for example you're saying everyone works well with phys/gun

[fresh mulch]

yes, well. ann has multiple ways to inflict ailments while also fishing for crits in phys and gun skills, but she'll not hit as hard as ryuji's ungabunga big phys

yusuke will be a jack of all trades more offensivelly, while makoto is a jack of all trades more defensively

mona is the healer and crit spammer, only sumi has higher luck

[strong moat]

that's fine I'm just curious what you left (ex: did you leave items as an option?)

[fresh mulch]

yes. i decided that i'll not be substituting every item skill

leave stuff for weaker things like soda

[strong moat]

cuz honestly I would probably just use items lol

[fresh mulch]

well that's the problem aint it. thats one of the goals in having these have actually useful effects after all

[strong moat]

I think then the issue you run into is that you use the items primarily for their secondary effects with the primary intended role (ailment curing) becoming secondary

[fresh mulch]

yeah i dont think i'll have patra/baisudi/energy items anymore

[strong moat]

like for example, 50% curing is pretty strong, why would I use dedicated healing skills or items when I can just use an anti ailment skill

[fresh mulch]

i have more skill slots than i thought i needed. i scrapped that idea

[strong moat]

the only reason I could think of is SP economy

but 50% is pretty strong

[fresh mulch]

eh 50% is very relative. it has two problems:

• can't heal more than 50%
• using it to heal characters like ann is very inefficient, since they have the lowest hp stat, while it is better used to heal high hp characters like ryuji

or you'd think 33% is better?

[fresh mulch]

(also, the point is that they are not exclusively 'anti-ailment skills' anymore. they are for the situations that can use them)

(btw baisudi will be more present at madarame for joker. it is exclusive to ryuji for a while, and he doesnt have the best sp to abuse it)

[strong moat]

no, 50% is strong period. if you are insisting on having the healing I would cut the amount down

think about when you get it really

[fresh mulch]

fine. but legitimally i havent had any issues with it feeling op(maybe because it is stuck on ryuji)

[strong moat]

I think the main balancing factor is that SP cost but the skill is basically relevant all the way until you get diarahan

[fresh mulch]

that was the idea at least

[strong moat]

there's going to be a few points where your healing skills will probably heal around 50% or greater but while it won't be a spammed skill due to the cost it will still be a lot stronger than it probably should be.

I would use that for healing period, the ailment cure is a bonus. also if I wanted to cure the ailment it would be really annoying to have to spend 16 SP if I don't need the HP heal too at the same time

my opinion? drop the cost, drop the healing effectiveness

[fresh mulch]

i mean yeah i designed for it to be used mostly as a healing skill

[strong moat]

(or I would just be leaning even more on items)

[fresh mulch]

sure 33% then

25% feels awful

[strong moat]

at 50% it's a skill I think I would be using regularly for strong enemies

rather than my dedicated dia skills

also the idea of healer Ryuji feels. really weird lol

really really weird

[fresh mulch]

he can only heal one specific way and you do not wanna use most of his sp for that

the point is for it to be a backup option on him

[strong moat]

the more I think about it the more I think that maybe 50% isn't as broken as it seemed but I do still think it's very strong. maybe do some play testing and see what works best

[fresh mulch]

well, at kamoshida 50% feels fine, but i'll see 33%

[strong moat]

just its relevance throughout the game is the reason why I'm like mmmmmm idk

and then if I am in a position where I want to cure baisudi stuff but I don't need the 50% heal, 16 SP hurts

[fresh mulch]

yeah uh there's nothing i can do about that. the characters are meant to be multifaceted in combat and not be strict archetypes

[strong moat]

well there's something you can do about that technically lmao it's more than that's not your design philosophy (which is fine)

[fresh mulch]

i just dont see why i have to follow what vanilla set their movesets to be

like, sorry but vanilla party members are super boring

[strong moat]

honestly I think my issue with vanilla party members is that they all kinda follow a similar template with few changes. they all get ma-dynes of their specific element and then whatever specialization

[fresh mulch]

my philosophy is throwing curveballs

[strong moat]

like literally look at p3/4 and it's like this is so much more interesting

Chie only gets weak magic for example. you have to go out of your way to get bufudyne on her and it's gonna be ass anyways so why bother. she never gets mabufula or ma-dyne

most of the P5 characters also get boost + amp for their respective magic skills

lame

[fresh mulch]

yeah im gonna avoid having access to all variants of their element. some characters will simply get madynes, others will simply get dynes. not to mention all the weirder off-branch skills i have

[strong moat]

furthermore I think the fact that you can just cover weaknesses of party members (not elemental weaknesses, archetypal) by just. getting accessories or going to the jazz jin or whatever is so so lame

[fresh mulch]

wait you can cover weakness in jazz club?

[strong moat]

see the thing in parentheses but I don't think you can cover elemental weaknesses

[fresh mulch]

oh the passives to half sp and hp costs...

[strong moat]

like, idk think about vanilla balance for a second here

[fresh mulch]

they do not help on the boring moveset department

[strong moat]

should Ann ever get access to gods hand?

[fresh mulch]

no and she wont

[strong moat]

I think not, but P5R thinks yes

furthermore due to the ability to boost stats permanently in p5r, gods hand is her best single target skill

[fresh mulch]

tbf you are sacrificing an accessory slot

[strong moat]

yeah you are but a gods hand equip is pretty nice lol

so it's just things like that where I'm like ??????

[fresh mulch]

on ann tho

i mean, on my ann probably, she actually has decent str

[strong moat]

now Ann's vanilla design, ignoring factors like magic falling off or level, etc: she's built as a mage who also has a secondary role as an ailment dealer/healer

I think she's roughly fine, I'd probably try to keep her ailments relevant but Persona in general kinda struggles with that one. her biggest weakness besides ice is that you only have 4 tiers of magic (one of which sucks ass in this game) and then boost + amp

and they're all kinda samey as you know. a single target and a multi target skill that hits once with high accuracy

now you could say, ok, let's go bring in some interesting skills from SMT, but honestly such a design on Ann isn't as offensive to me as what they do with Ryuji for example. why does he get ma-dynes????

[fresh mulch]

ryuji actually fits madynes if you take it as him having little control, but then he shouldnt get the single target versions past zio

[strong moat]

point is moreso he just gets the same magic as Ann up until tier 4

[fresh mulch]

yeah that is pretty boring

[strong moat]

Ann gets only two unique skills. aoe severe (it's not severe but whatever) and amp

ok then why wouldn't I just bench Ann and use magic Ryuji

(hint: there is no good reason to keep Ann outside of early game. unless you like her, which is valid but also not relevant for balance discussions)

[fresh mulch]

honestly, the levelup movesets will mostly be quite archetypical, but in an interesting way that plays to each characters' strengths. the weirder skills are parts of confidants/books

[strong moat]

now this is reasonable enough logic to use except that he already resists elec and later nulls it, so then the AOE elec will just be an upgrade really

[fresh mulch]

i dont get the correlation there

[strong moat]

if the game had press turn or the P3F AOE 1-more, it would be more of a downside

[strong moat]

you don't use single target magic after a certain point bc the ma variants are superior

in modern persona outside of P3/P3F, AOE is generally going to be better outside of very niche situations that don't come up often

[fresh mulch]

i just checked, and the only colossal str-scaling phys/gun skill ann should get without accessories is grand tack, if i even decide she should get that. the rest of her str skills are more tricky, ailment/crit inducing stuff (her other colossal gun skill, freikugel, is mag-based)

[strong moat]

this is where I think it would be really nice if modern persona used the P3F 1-more system with AOE skills

unfortunately, to do that I'm sure would require a lot of code CBT

[fresh mulch]

but then i'd have to thunk

[strong moat]

honestly though I don't really understand why they changed it

in P3 you actually had a reason to use your single target skills over AOE

[fresh mulch]

meanwhile, ryuji should get the majority of the big non-sword phys/gun skills

the point is that im always thinking about how a skill ties back to the character, and they still have clear outlines of what they can learn. if anything they'll be more unique from each other than base p5 lol

i also have materazio skills for str-scaling electricity, which will be ryuji's main focus tbh

fox will be more storm themed, so he does end up learning a bit of zio

anyway i'll think more throughly about the ailment-healing trio

(after i sleep)

i think my design philosophy has been quite consistently about increasing expression and options, rather than constrictive, set-in-stone simple systems

tbh that is quite different from how smt usually does it. but if anything i think that's what makes exploring this new perspective more interesting, even if quite experimental

i actually liked a lot when smt3 had some offensive mind and curse skills. it broke the formula just enough i found enjoyable

[strong moat]

I think leaning into st/ma based skills like that should be interesting

[fresh mulch]

they are also always two very distinctive families with their unique functions

so its not just 'repainted agi, but phys'

im also justifying enough thematic diversity. fire is magna/agi, ice is bufu/aqua, electric is teraz/zio, wind and psy have limited str options and no str family, and nuke has frei/gry

curse and bless have eiga and kouha being mag, but their strongest skills (divine judgement, abyssal wings, etc) swap to str

finally, phys/gun have rare mag-scaling skills, but there's enough of them for diversity while not removing their identity

(thematically, magna is more about magma/hell, while teraz is more about earth and nature. tera is earth in dds, and magna is earth in p2)

I still dont know what fits best thematically

Ann learning agi line for the single target fire, and magna line for aoe fire
Or Ann learning the magna line for single target fire, and agi line for aoe fire

(Gameplaywise, aoe magna justifies itself on ann more, since there isnt as much incentive to replace it with agi, but aoe agi plays onto ann's strongest stat more. Her str stat is still her second highest btw)

Talking about stats, im on bed rn so i cant check, but iirc each pt's strongest stats is...
Ryuji: St > Ag > En
Mona: Ag > Ma > Lu
Ann: Ma > St > Ag
Yusuke: balanced in all except En
Makoto: balanced in all except luck
Haru: En > St > Ma (she's chunky)
Akechi: balance with focus on st/ma/ag
Sumi: balance with focus on ma/ag/lu
Futaba: 99 cuteness

(Im just vagueling guessing)

Anyway this is nerdy shit lets talk of the real pressing matter

i'll be testing this shortly

[fresh mulch]

🤔 balanced?

there are the cost-reducing traits to worry about...

[fresh mulch]

the basic phys skills

lunge represents the line of inaccurate, low crit phys skills with a lot of damage
headbutt represents the 'tamer' version of the lunge line, focused on increased consistency
dream fist represents the more punch-themed line(tho not strict to that), that focus on consistency and trickery like ailments or stat debuffs
lucky punch represents the low acc, guaranteed crit line
cleave represents the sword line, that consists of high crit rate skills
terror claw represents the claw line, which usually apply ailments and is buffed when surrounded
double fans represents the fang line, which are very consistent, high crit rate skills that decrease agility on hit and also are powered up if surrounded

[fresh mulch]

Managed to get some shut-eye

[mellow pecan]

My apologies. Poll removed.

[fresh mulch]

and apologies for jumping to the worst interpretation

the basic gun skills

needle/arrows have high ailment and crit rates, but bad accuracy (they are the cheapest gun skills sp-wise too)
snap is the gun of the gun skills. the actual gun line all inflict burn or shock
cruel attack is part of the cruel attack(gun) > beatdown(phys) > vile assault(gun) line, and this one is representing the gun skills that cost HP (the other hp gun skills are all midgame ownwards)

i think i got all the basics down? i should be able to start playtesting these changes soonish

just have to edit the first party members, enemies and personas

[fresh mulch]

🤔 the plan so far
also, for the story skills:
Snap for Ryuji after awakening battle, Frei for Ryuji after auto chariot Rank 1, and Eiha for Ryuji after auto Fool rank 1.
Tarukaja for mona after auto magician rank 1, and Concealment for Mona after Fool auto rank 2
Double Fangs for Ann after awakening battle, Psi for Ann after auto lovers rank 1, and Mazan for ann after the shadow ann fight

ig i'll start with this first. then once i reach a good enough point i rework joker's personas and the enemies

hmmm maybe now would be a good time /||h||j

the juvenile urge to just add one more letter here

[fresh mulch]

might as well use this as an opportunity to elaborate on my design choices
why am i giving hidden modifiers that don't actually show in the game?
gun's 150% dmg bonus: gun skills cost SP here, so i want the player to feel good about using them on the first few enemies, so i made them vulnerable to gun without actually being weak to it (this is called: gaslighting /j).
curse 75% dmg, instead of 50%. to make hitting this resistance less punishing rn because we are quite early on and you barely have tools (you fight many jack o lanterns before you can fuse arsene for example)
confuse 75% modifier: garu skills now apply confuse, and i don't want the confuse rate to be too high from the garus you'll be using anyway
freeze and shock being about x2 times more likely: to give instant feedback early on and encourage fishing for these ailments by making the first few uses actually proc them often
in the same vein: bless being 125%. for players experimenting with hama at this point to be rewarded more often

this will almost completely phase out once i get to the second palace. i just feel like this is necessary for better gamefeel early on

the 125% almighty modifier: makes AOAs feel better, specially before you even get ann, and rewards the player for dealing neutral almighty hits

hmmm is there something else her character needs?

i know, rumi breaks up with maruki because she found herself a lesbian /j

[sharp yoke]

Sort like how Barbie made their dolls? Where their torso/abdomen to leg ratio was all messed up

[uncut depot]

i mean u could add like...stuff expanding her, like how she is outside of the whole plot thing or how she responds to having the delusion suddenly break, but i feel like the issue there is it risks becoming a plot tumor

[fresh mulch]

last i heard, barbie didnt have giga bazoongas

[fresh mulch]

hmmm i c

[sharp yoke]

Obv, but their legs are soo much longer than what is normally possible.

Its just soo cursed

Not to anime females with INSANE hourglass proportions… which is a whole other can of worms

[sharp yoke]

I think someone accidentally used the Aspect ratio…

[fresh mulch]

i think this is something i could think over more

fors stuff more in the immediate future, is there much to change about madarame?

kamoshida's changes here focused more on his different behavior towards rei compared to ren

but im unsure if madarame has another angle for me to explore...

also, is yusuke the last remaining disciple? i have always been confused about his home life actually

[uncut depot]

yes

[sharp yoke]

I would say there can be more scenes with Madarame and Yusuke.

But there's also Natsuhiko Nakanohara, the previous pupil that we fought his Shadow and then he told us about Madarame.

[fresh mulch]

i have enough new yuri to last 3 whole days!!

can you consider yuri an addiction when its just part of my sexuality

[fresh mulch]

Hmmm an inside look into their situation similarly to makoto/sae interludes? 🤔

Hmmm talking of the sisters...

I was thinking about my concept of adding birthdays to characters through the year

Makoto's birthday could be in the period between madarame and kaneshiro, and that'd be another day were she's working herself to the bone as the prez all day. She goes back to the niijima residenc, and her sister is still out at work, and when she comes back, sae forgets about makoto's birthday

I think could be an interesting way to explore more the core issues makoto faces, a few days before her awakening

(Also im not a huge fan in how they handled sae getting angry at makoto and saying something bad? Like i dont remember exactly, but couldve been done less heavyhandedly i think)

Hm i have yet to like a way to refer to me. 'Girl' is terrible. Girlkisser is funny but not the best for every situation. 'Butch' is just... what 💀 (happened at least once). Butch is an adjective not a name (well, girlkisser is too...). Nothing from my @ handle works as well...

GK is the closest, but it makes me feel like a bad british writer posting shitty takes on twitter

Also, GK is confusing. How can you tell what it really means? ||What if someone mistakes it for gock kisse—||

Uh anyway

[fresh mulch]

Anyone has thoughts aboutthis idea

[grand cipher]

she called makoto useless. "All you do is eat away at my life."

[fresh mulch]

Yeah so i think that could have had some more buildup or smth?

Cause i sure as heck dont

I think my last birthday was legit in middle school

[uncut depot]

i usually do a small thing with my mom, not like a party or anything

[sharp yoke]

Yeah, I dont see the point in celebrating a birthday. Especially with regards to a subjective measurement of time like our Gregorian Calendar..

Why celebrate one day? And not ALL of your life?

[fresh mulch]

Cause a party every day would be tiring

[sharp yoke]

I dont even mean a party

[fresh mulch]

Idk i think i celebrate my life enough as is

Not much

[sharp yoke]

You will, one day.

Its like the quote by Mark Twain,

"There are two truly important days in your life. The day you are born, and the day you find out why."

[fresh mulch]

I was born cause my parents banged

[sharp yoke]

Mmk

[uncut depot]

purpose is made up you gotta decide that shit for yourself

[fresh mulch]

I'd probably have something of a party for my kids, but it'd be up to them if they want or not at the end of the day. I myself asked for no more parties to my parents

[sharp yoke]

Glad you stepped up to it

[fresh mulch]

I just know one thing: i'd never have a gender reveal party

That shit is so stupid

A bunch of grown ass people celebrating the downstairs configuration of an infant and assigning strict binary social roles before they even have a conscious mind

i needed to vent sry

[uncut depot]

the lady who started it was just happy to have babies that survived long enough to tell the sex after a string of miscarriages and then White Cishets™ had to ruin it
even she kinda cringes at what it became iirc one of her kids turned out to be nonbinary and she was cool with it

[sharp yoke]

Let alone the ones that do craazy parties, even ones that have literally killed people

[fresh mulch]

Well, have enough parties and eventually one will have a body count

[fresh mulch]

See the royalty

[fresh mulch]

Hmmm kcheese

[uncut depot]

tbf for most of human history you couldnt tell the sex until after the baby crawled its ass out of the vagina

[fresh mulch]

Yeah but you could still make it a secret. Its not like newborns look much gender after all

🤔 now im wondering about how c sections were through history

I imagine high mortality rate if ever attempted

[fresh mulch]

Well, if i ever have to poop a fecker out, i'd like it to be through this. I def do not wanna know how painful childbirth really is 🫠

Do men still unironically compared kick-in-the-balls pain to childbirth pain?

Okay now im really sleepy gn for reals

Man, events like valentine's will be miserable to make to accomodate a varying-length polycule

It is possible without creating a version for each tho. But if i want more character interaction, it'll be even more complexity on top

Well, i have more than enough time until our first 'date' event. And the player shouldnt be able to date anyone by that point anyway

Ig i'll have the beach trip be about choosing a friend to spend time with instead

Operation babe hunt will be eradicated here. Sorry not sorry(doesnt even make sense here in the first place)

speedrun trust /j

[fresh mulch]

If i were to guestimate the interactions based on pure vibes my plans for the slink timegates...

Ann & Makoto: both at once || ||. They are dating, and they still haven't thought about poly stuff. so you'll be kind of a third wheel here lmao (tho, maybe makoto might need to step away for a bit to deal with prez things, and you can choose to either stay with ann or help makoto out? Would be interesting)

Haru: this'll probably be close to when she confesses her feelings in the story, so probably a bit flirty and awkward

Ryuji and Yusuke: shenanigans

Kawakami: probably only available after a certain point in the slink? She'd be probably dating Takemi here, from one of her confidant ranks (not to mention that she's in teacher mode rn), so mayne just hanging out and chatting (while kawakami wonders why are you not hanging out with friends your age, like sakamoto or takamaki)

Wait, could you spend time with the shogi girl here?

She's in yusuke's high school right

(Originally haru was not here yet so im sure you couldnt spend time with her. Now she's present through the entire story, so...)

Oh yeah, hanging out with 'kasumi' would also be interesting

[fresh mulch]

hmmm once i finish recharging, i should probably do an overhaul of the ai code

ideally i'd have a common flowscript that every ai takes from

this way i should be able to easily update my custom logic across all enemies as well

one thing that im still unsure of is how 'dumb' should the ai of common enemies be, and how 'smart'?

i guess i can also use that as an opportunity to be able to have different 'levels' of ai i can just quickly set in their init

ig it'd be best to have enemies that appear in 'swarms' to have low levels of ai, but those that generally only have 1 or 2 of per encounter to have higher ai

🤔 should every level of ai have a 'blunder' chance tho...?

what im doing rn is that there are chances that the ai will just target jonke no matter if there are better option, which can be good or bad depending on the situation

i think i like this? maybe low level ai has a chance to just target at random, and med or higher substitute that for a joker chance? (so swarms of low level ais dont just, instakill you lol)

hmmm much to think about... much to think about...

[fresh mulch]

i do like this, because it feels nice to nosell the enemies' attack, but if they always targeted weaknesses and avoided nulls, then you'd barely see this mechanic. % to target joker instead feels like a good compromise to reward good persona usage, while still punishing you anyway sometimes

ngl designing a persona, then its enemy version, feels quite cumbersome. i wonder if first designing a range of personas, then the enemies feels better

they are quite different, so ping-ponging between them can get confusing ig

i already did up to pixie. i think stopping at mermaid is a good call for now

btw is there any reason why bicorn is 'wind'????

it feels there just for the sake of having wind somewhere ngl

and like, kelpie is two levels later anyway

the elemental distribution at the start in general is terrible holy

base p5 didnt have cait sith and saki mitama im pretty sure

every cow tit i touch turns the milk impure ig

this sounds stupid even for its time but what would i know

the compendium entries for agathion only ever mentions it being a term for familiars, so idk where they got this inspiration from

i have a feeling this is just a coincidence because they use the same name

bruh this demon only showed in the raidou games, smt4 and persona q (which are png games so they have more demons anyway), demikids, then desu 2, persona 1 and 2, and finally, persona 5 ig
honestly, i think smt5 only has agathion because p5 (same with cait sith)

it feels more of an staple than it actually is lol

[grand cipher]

I don't get the symbolism of a cow being milked by a woman being unacceptable

[fresh mulch]

what are other randomass demons that p5 brought back because they were in p1 and 2 that are not smt staples?

[fresh mulch]

ig its gay for a woman to touch another's breasts

[fresh mulch]

yknow, despite kirijo group being namedropped in p3, and the whole maya/tatsuya thing in the 'innocent sin online' hermit slink, it still feels like p5 calls back on the first games more for some reason

btw should i fix the hermit slink by making 'maya' actually jun, and the ||teacher|| is just a fushoji? /hj

[fresh mulch]

something interesting is how they kinda mixed the raidou agathion with the p2 agathion

p2 has agi/dormina/rakukaja/dia
raidou has zio
p5's has zio/rakukaja/dia

i think p5 even influenced the raidou remaster, since they gave it patra there

smt5 has zio/dia/sukukaja, so i'd say that p5 influenced agathion's depiction there too

Easy

Already have the tutorial on it

The only problem is

I don't think there's a Water, thunder, Wind EPL in p5r

I only see Fire and Light EPL

Fire from Baphomet

Light from Horus

[fresh mulch]

smt5 doesnt use epl?

[potent geyser]

No I'm afraid not

Different engine

Ahhhh

Thunderbird has Thunder epl

So that leaves Water and Wind

[fresh mulch]

ig worse comes to worst its fine to not have them
