Persona General: Ann Edition

Discuss anything Persona related.
Recently the director has these kind words to say completely destroying the journo narrative.
>As a developer, I’m very happy to hear that Persona 5 is being played by so many people overseas. To be honest, it’s really hard to gauge its popularity in the West when our team’s in Japan; we’re not able to see everyone’s comments and discussions. It’d be great to interact with the fans abroad, but sadly, I’m stuck in the development room slurping instant ramen (laugh). Persona 5 is a very “Japanese” story with some political aspects to it, so I couldn’t imagine how Western players would react to it. I did know, however, that Persona 5 was highly anticipated by gamers overseas even back when we were developing the game, so I was curious to see how its story would be received.

how much longer should we keep these threads going? they've already slown down to a crawl as pretty much everyone has played it.

are we really just gonna keep rolling for waifus in every thread ad infinitum until we become as cancerous as cuckchan /vg/?

Bloggers in suicide watch

...

Welp, when in Rome

Ann get

Low tier waifu tbh fam.

Morgana please go and stay go

ebin

P5D when?

Get out of here Kamoshida. Here's the real pic.

For a hot Niijima threesome.

There are other Persona games user.

Its a great feeling.

Kamoshida did nothing wrong. All he wanted out of life was to fuck bitches and whores.

...

...

...

FIRST PERSONA 5 STATUE IS ANN
I would be very upset if the statue did not look so good.
Also they might have aged Ann a bit since she's got a more full buttocks than I recall.

Obligatory Ann enticement/Mona cucking addition

P5Christmas better have an extra ending boss where you fight shadowmona and he finally gets to be human.

Kawakami figure when

...

...

rusty be like "lucky son of a bitch im SO gonna kick your milf banging ass out of here"

His reaction when Futaba comes in is priceless.

I CANT BELIEVE IM BEING DAUGHTER-CUCKED BY MY TOMODACHI JOKER-SAN

...

...

...

...

The guy uploading jap dub longplay sure takes his sweet ass time.
Do you really need to max all your social skills and confidants to beat the game? Or there is some sorta ending hidden behind those?
I mean I could jump onto other longplays, but fuck english dub.

Can Fatlus stop doing this shitty "I'm mad at everyone for no raisen now" character plots to waste 2 hours of my time?

They're both The Magician, what would you expect?

Aslo
So like what's your point? If anything P2 EP doesn't fit in with the series, not the other way around.

why are you watching a longplay instead of playing the game?

...

I don't have a console. And it's a jrpg, so I'm not missing out on much anyway.

are you poor or did you fall for the r/masterrace memes?

...

yes. Claiming Hifumi


did you get a reply? I wrote them a wall of text and no reply ever came. Maybe because of my cockmail email address.


why is lavenza still 00s instead of trips. Change Sae to 00s and give Lavenza trips.


pure gold


This is really cheap. I got pretty much the same scene with Hifumi. The text was different but all the body motions and even the pose (leaning on shoulder) were exactly the same. I wish they would have given each character a unique set of movements. I wonder what the texts of other romance options looks like on rank 9 and 10.

Masterrace memes.

memes are serious business

Sheer amount of effort put into that image tells volumes about butthurt of the author.

It was made back when OC still had effort to it, before the whole stealing memes and converting them to the normalfags killed high effort OC.
You should play Persona 2 while you're waiting for your LP uploads as well.

remember this?

Ad hominem, if you ever needed to discredit yourself before even speaking a word

...

No, because I only ever played the undub.

Speaking of reactions when Futaba comes in…

Sorry lad, thats not me
But Persona 5 is still shit, just like 3 and 4

I love staring at that image. You can tell there was love put into it.

Because I'm too lazy to change it again, maybe one day.


Wrong.

...

Nope, I used the contact atlus PR thingy.

...

AH CRAP

Mishima is truly the worst character. Does anyone like that faggot?

Mishima is meant to be the Butt Monkey of the game. Pretty sure he was supposed to be a shot at Fanboys…

time to roll. give me cake


I think initially disliking him was the intended reaction. He comes around at the end of his confidant arc, and he being the one that starts the Satanael Spirit Bomb is fitting, but I think it was too little too late for him to be remotely likeable at that point.

GIVE ME MAKOTO OR GIVE ME DEATH

fug.

Loli for you, apparently… *rolls*

*gets Haru*

*got Chiharu last time*

Can't really complain…

What is it?

apt name

He gets uncomfortable as hell.

(Checked)
Hmm, let's see who I should waifu for NG+ according to this roll.

Nice. I was stuck between her and Futaba. Maybe I should just do both and upset on of them on Valentines day OMG BASEDGOD NYEAH

Sadayo is without a doubt the best.

hitler give me
kawakami, futaba, makoto, hifumi, twins, or ohya in that order.

...

I keep seeing all this stuff about Haru being fuckin' unhinged. Don't tell me I'm gonna end liking freakin' Peanut-chan the most. I guess I'll see; still waiting for Futaba to wake up (did the dungeon very quickly so she's been sleeping for almost a month).
While I prefer almost all of the side chicks to the party ones, all the girls do have really cool Personae.

Oops, just noticed I fudged a file name…

They sure do.
My favorite is Johanna

Help

It really is the best, then it gets ruined by it's shitty transformer version when you hit rank 10. I wish you could keep the old appearance.

Her ultimate persona kinda gives me an Arcee vibe to it for some reason

Prometheus would have been a better name for Futaba's Persona- another famous thief.

Make sure to work on leveling up your proficiency if you want to hang out with her. I didn't because of it, but I already had 4 bitches.

The FG has so much potential but I feel I'd rather play as the Personae themselves.

Incidentally, I need to revise my stance on playable Shidou - P5A needs TWO playable Shidous. Char Shidou with the gold lion acting like S. Labrys' minotaur monster and Armstrong Shidou that just beats the shit out of everything.


I've already hit that wall with many characters - Tae, Makoto, Yusuke and Ryuji. Also haven't even started Iwai's Confidante. This first run is gonna be a bust; the first character I'm maxing will probably be Toranosuke.

rolling for aryan race

Is Brotema in this game?

...

Oh one thing does anyone have links to emulate the series 1-4 and despite them acting like fags links for the Shin Megami Tensei games so next thread I can add to the OP next thread?

...

...

...

is that hiimdaisy?

is he gonna do persona 5 comics?

Nope. Some guy with very little stuff; here's his only other P5 comic.

Did hiimdaisy even finished the P4 comic? That shit was a riot.

Alright lets do this.
We all know which girl we would fuck, so lets do something different.
Which Persona would you fuck?
Pics related my top 5

would use like onaholes

eh, don't really fancy them

yeah, would fuck

where's mara?

she went full an sjw

That shit just doesn't surprise me at this point.

Stay pleb, gaylord.

Jesus god not her too.

Naturally.

i dont remember hiimdaisy going full sjw, i remember her, however, starting to charge money to make comics

isnt she making sjw comics now? and her art got worse too. someone posted it a long time ago

got me in the mood to look up Kaneko's art and found a tumblr with several scans from the Pandemonium artbook.
Leaving the link here in case anyone's interested:
eirikrjs.tumblr.com/tagged/pandemonium scans

i dont know, if you got a link im willing to check it

pffft this cuck

but i like mishima. he seems cool except he just needs a couple of friends. he would have been a great romantic match for Shiho

Only found some screenshot from her.
She seems to not be interested in vidya anymore.

Well Holla Forums predictions on Persona 5 Crimson
Now to what Holla Forums will wish to be in P5 Crimson
>Romance with Lavenza
>Adachi cameo boss fight

...

You know you want it user.

that says she lost interest in mg, not vidya in general.

Starring the daughter of Rean Schwarzer and Emma Millstein?

Needs way bigger tits if it's Emma's daughter.

Touche.

Give me cake or give me death!

Eh, I guess I may as well roll on the real one, despite usually never getting who I want.

Persona 5 Satan Saves Christmas
>You can fight Lavenza

I'm been focusing all my persona dicking around on Arsene, but I'm at the casino and he still has the light damage curse skill. Is there anything I can at least get the moderate curse damage skill card from?

Nebiros itemizes into Eigaon, Pazuzu into Maeiga.

If you want Maeigaon you'll need luck from the gallows, negotiation or the Thanatos DLC (one of them itemizes into the skill card)

Reported

...

is any one else bothered by how much of a glory hound ryuji is?

Maeiga will do for now, Thanks m8

man sojiro is like the opposite of a cock block

Seriously. "Come live in the sickest possible bachelor pad and deal with my light ribbing."

Reported

...

He is. His character almost made me feel all of the Phantom Thieves also had one of the deadly sins as a theme.

Joker is a cocky dude (Pride), Morgana wants to be human and flips his shit after Futaba joins (Envy) and Ryuji comes across as Greedy/Vain as fuck during the whole game.

The other party members have no clear cut sin, though, so I ended up thinking those three are just coincidental and dropped the theory.

This is most likely what might happen.

Studio apartment above a fucking coffee shop. Might as well have just handed the kid a roll of condoms.

Blonde guy is Wrath.

but goro already has hama/mudo.

i know you want that shogi pussy user but i find it unlikely. i find it more likely for goro to come back without his "corrupted desires" and a single persona, combination of Robin Hood and Loki.

All the Hifumi shit is a long stretch, yeah, but I don't think they will change Goro's arc that much. It would be very controversial if he survived, let alone became a permanent party member considering his deeds. It would goatse my suspension of disbelief if Futaba and Haru went just "welcome to the team" on him, even after the ruse cruise events.

if they're not going to give us Goro Palace, then they should give us Mona palace with shadow mona as the boss, from all those nightmares and it should be playable in the last month between valentines day and the day you go back home in late march. if you succesfully clear the palace before the leaving date you get a better/extra ending. then maybe give us some shit about how mona changes his cognition of himself and turns human at last, even though he wasn't originally, after all the game is all about MUH COGNITION, that would be a nice golden lock, mona shouldn't even exist at the end after all

i'd love to see a shogi-based persona for hifumi though.

How come the harder it is to get, the worse the pick.

Persona 5 comics are almost exclusively about Ann being raped by Kamoshida, Ann being a whore or a very lazy gangbang from all the cast.

Might as well give it up.

smh tbh fam

I started Persona on psp.
I just beat Tesso. I have Rejijo or what ever that edge lord dudes name is.

Game is pretty neat.

Wasted opportunity

rolling for best girl

It's been paid for.

...

Not by Joker.

Ann does. she's the only party member that learns it

I know, but the Cat keeps putting you to sleep.

Its like someone took Ladybug and Jojo part 5 and stuck it into a blender.

Doesn't matter. He's not doing it out of good will. That's why he's so antagonistic towards you early on.

May as well roll myself and see if I go four for four for Hifumi


I can't seem to really care much for Ann after Kamoshida's palace. Her intro and early parts were good, but after that and to me at least she's not worst girl, but not best girl either.


Got a kek out of that. Also screencapped

What the shit
store.steampowered.com/app/453800/Midnight_Animal_A_Story_of_Love_and_Forgetting/

Makoto is best waifu


Nekomata and Cybele

Ok, that just fucking blatant. What the fuck. Atlus should sue. is he selling that or is it a free fan project thing?

It's being sold, the creator of hotline Miami gave him the go ahead to make a similar game. Recently the creator announced the art style and game play were reworked, and this was the result

COULD HE NOT BE MORE OBVIOUS!? Unless he's being intentional in his plagiarizing. Either way this guy's asking to get sued to hell by Atlus

also this
steamcommunity.com/app/453800/discussions/0/1319962244123032311/

What the fuck is this abomination?


Makoto a cute.
Too close user

...

I need more makoto in my life.

Also just started P2 and I'm liking it a lot. Igor is freaky lookin.

Seriously, he cant be serious. Blaitantly using "persona" being tied to masks, and using "mementos" in that way all at the same time. He couldnt use any other words to atleast mask that shit?

Is it really? It's tagged as free to play in the store.

Why is 00's a superior outcome to dubs?

From what i see, i think its just a demo.

...

I wish they did western art instead

So apparently the game's creator baited the hotline miami fans with the plot and gameplay supposedly following up the second game. Now he's trying to bring people in by practically tracing over the p5 art and aesthetic and stealing terms. One of the pics is just Hifumi traced over with no hair decorations. The creator seems like a talent-less hack on par with "original character, donut steel" people just combining things he thinks are cool. Anyone got more info on this? Hoping to get a laugh.

Its nearly as bad as Yanderee dev

please help, i can't get enough of the P5 meme

I hate giving that stupid cuckold autist credit, but at least Yandev acknowledges his plagiarism as an "homage"

He cant seriously get away with this, can he?

Not really much to it.

Aayyyylmao

Looks pretty generic anime to me

...

This is just Futaba's pose traced over. If you look at the traced over Hifumi and this traced over Futaba, every feature is aligned. I wonder how many more persona portraits he has traced over. Also I'm reading his faq and apparently he gets sad that people are calling him out on ripping off persona. He's saying that he based his art on the persona series but from what I've seen so far, he's blatantly tracing over preexisting art and not simply making new art based on the style. What a fucking hack.

well, the user-tags say "free to play". so particularly i don't care. if its really free then its no different than a nintendo fan game, which nintendo has shut down time and time again and we've complained about it.

now if he starts charging money for this garbage then he can definitely eat a dick

True but the whole baiting people into your project with one thing and changing it after they have achieved their goal is bullshit either way. The conversation the hack has at seems to point that he got on greenlight with a completely different looking and sounding game, closer to HM 1&2, and is now changing it. This is bs no matter if it's kickstarter, where money is involved, or greenlight. Change things all you want before getting your goal on KS or steam is reached but once you get there, give the people what they paid or voted for.

nice roll m80
heil'd
rolling, mein fuhrer

she cracked after gaining enough popularity with it. gave up on us and went all in on tumblr and other garbage

yeah, i wasn't on that one thread. can't be everywhere fam

looks pretty cool tbh.

Holy fucking shit I can't even breathe


I'm not even (much) of an Annfag (anymore) but damn that's a little sad.

Found a comment she made.
She really gave up on vidya.

Ive never liked ann. Pony tails are so ugly.

well she is a woman after all. vidya was probably a means to get attention, once she got it because of her P3, P4, and MG drawings, she didn't need the Crutch anymore and disposed of it. too bad.

More dates for all waifus & being able to interact with Kawakami during summer.
I started the romance path just before summer break started and I had to wait a whole fucking month to get her response because the next part of the path happens only on school days.

I remember years back when that p4 comic was still a fresh thing and she was trying to start some new comic (cucumber quest I think it's called?) That was prob the earliest sign I knew she wasn't going to continue. I just didn't realize she too would fall.
JUST


Long hair =short hair > pony tails.

Short hair > long hair > pony tails. The only thing better than short hair is long red hair (mitsuru).

After the summer she'd be lucky to walk.

This is shameless.

This.
Short hair is great but Fuuka is shit

if fuuka had a better VA she would be tied for best p3 girl.

Sheeeeiiit jokah yous mah nigga

...

...

...

I have a better one:


I hated him from the very beginning


At one point of the game I honestly believed that Mona was a fiend and that I would end up fighting him sooner or later.


Hime cut best cut
however, this cut is only suited for people who have naturally non-wavy hair which means mostly asians

Time to ROLL the dice.

HEY GUYS!

Shin Megami Tensei …


is... a...      pretty...  good... game!       ...but be sure to use the Bug Fixed translation.
romhacking.net/translations/2616/


lad it still tells volumes about butthurt of the author
please don't LARP like you are some old fag. It's not becoming of you sunny jim.

every time i see someone repost that shitty edit i made i die a little inside.

That's actually traced on Sae's Shadow portrait. Can't tell who might have been traced on for "Mari" though.

That's it. I'm making a game. If this is the standards of the industry, I should have bajillions by wednesday.

no chance it wasn't just a hack artist that can't draw anything new?

I don't doubt the artist drew inspiration but calling it traced is a bit much.

more likely this, the hack artist used it as a reference and essentially copied it. Coping =/= tracing. The ear and the hair behind the ear are clearly directly copied form the source but they are not definitely traced.

I have not played P5, but it should be known that the best girl is Sadayo and all other alternatives are incorrect.

haruhichan.com/wpblog/25694/no-game-no-life-author-has-been-caught-tracing/
That's no excuse, even if you trace then change it a bit it's still tracing.

otakutale.com/2014/no-game-no-life-artist-yuu-kamiya-allegedly-caught-tracing-other-peoples-work/
here's a better link

Being a vanillafag is pure suffering

My sides got taken.


nip Fuuka is top tier. It genuinely doesn't get better than that.

I mean, I guess she's pretty great if used goods are your fetish.

Anything but Ohya

Bigger res smug cake.

Anyone has this full set of cut-ins?

you are being way to liberal with the term tracing. You have to do alot of fiddling in photoshop to line up the images. Take for example this *.gif. One is a painting I did using the image as a source , the other is the source warped with the transform tool to attempt to line up with my painting. However the painting, all be it a copy of the source is not traced. Most people don't have photographic memory. Artist use source material all the time, weather it be live models or looking at photos for reference, even the Renaissance masters had source material for reference which is why thy did so many drawings of (often nude) models (for reference). I am not doubting that the artist used someone else work as reference. I am doubting the claim that it is traced.

See
The ear, nose, and the line just infront of her left eye is identical.

see my response to that post

There's some fag shilling all over the discussions on the game telling everyone bringing up the obvious plagiarism to go back to Holla Forums

I picked Kawakami for my first game, on NG+ should I just harem? I got sad friendzoning the girls in the first game, especially Haru, she gets really broken up about it

Persona 5 has plenty of hime cuts.

somehow it makes that simple headshot like 3 times more attractive. maybe i'll hit that on this run of the game but i'll probably stay loyal to makoto because i can't help myself

You can't use an artist's work as a direct reference into yours and pretend it's original. That's the point.

I couldnt care less as long as he didn't just made a carbon copy the character, i am aware of the difficulties that indies face, if they don't lack one thing it's another. At least the intention is there

I wish dialogue changed and you actually get rewarded for being loyal, you get all the chocolate and one from Rusty if you harem and an additional scene and none of them know you're cheating on them until the end of the game. It's like it wants you to harem.

You're the one that is using tracing too literally. You don't have to line up the image on top of a blank sheet of paper and literally trace every line.
You're example is a bit of a stretch because you're painting a posed 3D model, kinda like painting a real life model person, there's no traces on the original.
But doing that to another drawing or painting to the point that some traces are almost identical is enough to be considered tracing, direct or not.
In the end the point isn't if it's techically tracing or not, just that it's blatant plagiarism of another artist's work.

Can't help myself either.
Especially with her ass and child-bearing hips

who?

well she's not a spaz and likes yakuza movies so she's probably the party member i genuinely like the most on top of being hot, i don't really wanna smash ann or futaba that badly. speaking of ann though the dialogue choice for turning her down fucking sucks man, its cold as shit

...

That's true and she also got into vidya in the beginning of her social link.
She also mentions she started reading manga if you play through mementos in one of the conversations.
Also that movie is actually a reference from the actually game Yakuza

Meant for actual

i know, i'm a huge fan of the yakuza games so my penis became big penis during the bit where you go to the movie with her

also you can give her the bike figure as a gift and she remarks on its interchangeable parts and stuff, makoto is truly not a pleb and you could go do fun shit with her

True.
I already knew she would like the motorbike figure, mainly from her persona and she admits she has a motorcycle license.

Yes you can, especially if you alter it. The source and the finished drawing are hardly similar aside form the ear and a few lines behind the ear.

now you are being pedantic. Because I used the term Liberal not "Literal". As in you are being too lose with the term. No court of law would prosecute this kid for using Shigenori Soejima drawing as a source material. Its as if you kids never drew anything and are autisticly looking for something to screech about to justify your cries for a personal army over a game that has nothing to do with P5.

Seconded, it'd be even worse if the one copying is trying to monetize. Which in Spencer Yan's case it's at least free.

But I do recall a one shit storm for some years back when some faggot was running a comic series of his own but people noticed and even pointed blatant plagiarism the took from mangas, Bleach most notably, and even story and characters lacking originality for the most part notably taking some plot elements from other sources, it got so bad that even publisher considered suspending the comic for this if turned true. The "artist" tried to defend himself with influence and inspiration argument but people noticed on his DeviantArt page he said if "you" steal his work you'll pay with money. He appeared not to value art at all. Dunno the ending of this, but I'm pretty fucking sure he certainly didn't work professionally ever since.

In general, people see copied and unoriginal artwork have less value in their eyes, and Spencer clearly doesn't even look to try to be original with those sprites and other elements obliviously taken from P5 as screenshots show. There's difference between using references for natural looking poses, anatomies and perspectives and even styles, and just blatant copying and being lazy to try to do anything new.

Professional comic artists especially cheat a lot to spare time and meet deadlines, and there's nothing wrong with that as long as they make good artwork and don't copy or even steal from other artists.

Just to be clear I am not arguing the point regarding the artist is blatantly being lazy. That is certain without a doubt. However, its not tracing and I would rather this hack copy a better artist and make something derivative that looks aesthetically pleasing as apposed to being forced to create something original and it turn out to be Deviantart tier trash.

Are you fucking blind? Or are you being dishonest on purpose? This is a blatant copy of all the fundamentals and work the original artist. The parts that are not "traced" are ugly as fuck because the dude has no fucking idea how "his" damn drawing works, the changes he made to the clothing made the drawing flat for fucks sake. It's not laziness, it's plagiarism.

Uh this is blatant plagiarism.

I know, I meant to say that you were being the opposite, being to strict to the word's literal meaning of actually tracing every line of the drawing. The images in the gif were not fully traced, but a significant amount lines are exactly the same to the point of invalidating any doubt of tracing. Changing a few parts of the work you're tracing to suit your goals doesn't make it not tracing, call it partial or altered tracing if it soothes your autism for literal meanings.
Tracing is just used to describe stuff like those pics and this persona thing, when you copy poses and anatomy and sometimes artstyles as a result(or the traces that make those), rather than copying full designs.
You can learn to draw sonic or pokemon in their original artist artsyles, for example, and if you don't copy already drawn poses or part of poses you're not tracing, if you make a a character similar to sonic but is not sonic but then change some stuff a-la sonichu but then copy a pose that sonic made and just change the arms position a bit to match another pose and still several traces match said original artwork, that's considered tracing.
Tracing or not, stuff like that can get you trouble in court, there's a reason devs constantly cut content from their creations that is even slightly similar that something that already exists.

oops

meant for

i dont have the original.

how else do i show complete disapproval towards a post?

perfect

Aren't MGS/Terminator and Cacodemon/Astral Dreadnought cases more of a homages? At least they are treated widely as such today as far as I've seen.

Isn't the same for the latter's soundtrack too, just being legally different enough because composer, Bobby Prince, is a lawyer and knew the limits?

Damn now I can't help, but imagine if any past or future Persona game used metal soundtrack.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
FUCK YOU MISHIMA YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT, I WAS ON TRACK FOR 100 PERCENT AND YOU FUCKED ME UP, WHY WON'T YOU HANG OUT WITH ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT, IT'S THE END OF THE GAME AND THIS IS THE LAST TIME WE'LL SEE EACHOTHER, PLEASE JUST FUCKING HANG OUT WITH ME

did not refute anything I have been saying. Stop being a liberal faggot.

What is the difference? And to be more honestly, no they where not homages. They are just great classic examples of a lazy artist using a famous source material that borderline copyright infringement. Speaking of copyright, it is really odd how a bunch of internet pirates get their panties in a bunch over intellectual property rights. Especially for a free game that is clearly an "homage" to what its blatantly ripping off.

You can get him to 10 before finishing the Casino (I know I did). Did you miss a couple of requests or something?

I left him to last because I thought his requests were tied to the story and he ranks up every time you talk to him anyway so I thought he'd be low priority

You probably missed one of his text messages and lost a request. It is a shame because his farewell gift is probably one of the best for NG+ as it gives all of his skills as soon as you form his SL. Also, no Sandalphon means no Metatron (and his gun) which means no Lucifer which means no early Joker Ultimate Persona on NG+

fuck I meant to reply to

It's NG+ so I already have his confidant abilities.

Its like this motherfucker looked at Madarame's character arc and thought to himself "hey, I could pull this off better than he could!"

Let's just go to bed because the cat told me to.
Let's do everything because he told me to.
Let's allow the cat to organize my entire life.

Maybe the cat couldn't run your life if you weren't such a pussy.

You have to assert your dominance.

yes

Looks like you're out of arguments.
It's ok if you didn't understand.
But it's not ok thinking you're right just because you say so. Like saying that I'm a liberal for no reason other than you saying so.
See ya faggot.

NG+ should have allowed you to live without the cat

what are you talking about my initial statements on the matter stands unattested. You are clearly just a fagot suffering from autism. Filtered and reported for off topic.

NG+ should allow you to fuck the cat

also did anyone realize how much meta-mona looks like Punchy from animal crossing? minus the scarf

Coming of thinking, has anyone else who completed Haru's SL for the first time, left unsatisfied how anti-climatic ending for it was?

I was hoping that fuck face faggot "fiancé" comes to have a tantrum, flat out threatening both her and MC (and maybe Sojiro too), when MC comes between them, shielding Haru, and when he whines and mentions the "contract", Haru just snaps loudly and goes straight up fuck you, even asking where the contract papers are. And when fff fiancé can't answer, Haru makes points on him being huge ass bitch, and how MC is more of worth of man than he is, and if in romance path, she declares her love to MC and that MC loves her in return, unlike fff fiancé, then she goes threaten him with something like if he ever shows up himself in her eyesight or does something pretty fucking stupid, she will destroy him and his family company. Then he pussies out by running away. She then takes a deep breath and calms down. After some dialog she thanks MC for him being there as it gave her courage to stand up to herself.

Man, I went rather autistic with this, but still poor girl is going trough a crony uncaring father *who then kicks the bucket when he had change of heart*, arranged marriage with no love at slightest and being forced to appear as a good girl 24/7 with no chances of stress relieving, it's no wonder she'd be unhinged and uses huge battle axes she barely can swing and freaking grenade launchers as her weapons.

She really needs lot of hugs.

so that's why she uses a grenade launcher, its her cognitive temper.

...

wait, what the hell is the 3rd pic?

is that what happens when you max out all links and go into valentines day by having chosen the "romance" option in every one?


but mona likes Ann

Actually, it happens if you don't message anyone. You hang out with Ryuji and every girl thinks you're hanging out with someone else.
What a mop

You are the reason PC gaming is an afterthought.
You and Steam.

excuse me for not being a zealously reactionary enough about a shitty free game that nobody cares about.


but you need to have picked the romance option for every girl during their respective links right?

pls tell, im definitely going to want to see that scene when i feel like playing NG+

is this what makes people become terrorists? i didn't even romance kawakami but can't abide some one taking actions against her like this

Ann's hetero and Mona get's cucked even more.

Fuck I meant to tag too

I'm gonna say it again because the more I play it the more it becomes true:

SATOMI DID IT AGAIN
Every single character in Caligula Effect is more interesting and has a far more grim backstory than anyone in P5. The only ones who come close are Chiya and Sadayo. Everyone else is marshmallow creampuff garbage.

Ryuji has an alcoholic dad who used to beat him and his mom - but they gloss over than in literally ONE line of dialogue.
Ann grew up alienated and mostly alone from neglectful and absentee parents - but this is also glossed over in a singular line of dialogue.
Futaba was abused by her uncle and treated like a dog - but this ALSO is glossed over (in a couple lines of dialogue this time).
Yusuke seems pretty A-OK and not once needs to grieve about being an autistic who was mistreated, sheltered and has his mother murdered.
Morgana is a cartoon cat.
Haru loses her dad, who turns out to have never really loved her (or did but it was over a decade ago and he betrayed her easy, willing to trick out his own daughter to be a sleeve to some politician's son), has to deal with being the new head of a megacorp AND being engaged to a powerful-by-proxy politician's son - but all the character development for this happens OFF SCREEN.


Takemi lost her career to a jealous jerk tricking everyone.
Forgot what UncleJunpei's deal is. Bad father?
Rusty's a cuck.
etc.


Meanwhile, Caligula Effect has a cast which each are beyond more broken than anything in P5. It gets brutal and the VA work, especially from Mifue, really brings it home.

No I'm just jaded over how weak P5 was overall and how much I wish they had Satomi write P5 instead. CE's cast would have been much better than what we got, and even what we got would have been better if they, you know, took a moment to address the grim real-world issues laden in each character's past BUT NOPE GOTTA KEEP THIS RAILROAD MOVING
>I WANNA BE A MODEL, BOYFRIEND-COON!
>I'M A CUTE, ATTRACTIVE NEET, WHICH IS TOTALLY BELIEVABLE CONSIDERING I COULDN'T EVEN LEAVE MY ROOM AND PISSED IN BOTTLES AND COLLECTED MOUNTAINS OF GARBAGE! MY SKIN SHOULD LOOK LIKE FECAL PIZZA BUT AYY
>RAMEN AND RUNNING AND RAMEN AND FRIENDS AND RAMEN!
I hate this cast so much.

Everything about the character stories in this game is pathetic and lacking with any real depth in the character, aside from Kawakami and Chiya. Makoto was alright but she should have had a story which focused more on her and not her in relation to someone else.

Haru is the WORST because she has the most potential and yet none of it comes through. Sorrow? Penchant for violence? A vaguely yandere thing going on? None of that.
Then again, I didn't even know Makoto was obsessed with motor cycles until I gave her a model one as a gift and she started flying off about the intricacies of the exchangable parts. She's a huge dork for model-building and loves action flicks - but you don't get any of that with her expressed outside of random minute things.

I didn't even know Haru was big on violent stress-relief and had such a crazy side to her until this very post. It's pathetic! She would have been a huge choice for me if I knew she had anything remotely close to a personality.

kill yourself my man

You must also like DmC since its just as edgy.

Please not Ohya.

I know what you meant, just 'aving a giggle m8

im not sure if you noticed but the 3D models that walk around all have a single fixed face. she has the face of complete despair all through the game, kinda reminds of edna K. from the simpsons.

mona cant be a girl, he slept in your bed through the entire game that'd be too lewd.

i was thinking he'd look something like teddie from P4, after all, didn't you find it weird how similar human teddie is to a Velvet attendant? they're super pale, and super aryan, they both come from the "magic" world of choice (be it tartarus, the TV world, or the meta verse yeah i dont know what they were called in p1 and p2, sue me) and mona was after all, created by lavenza, who is another super aryan velvet attendant.


stop shilling cuckligula effect :^)

whys everyone got such beef with ohya (granted i didn't quite finish her Slink on my first run) she doesn't seem that bad, at the very least she's cute and you could have a drink with her

Are you seriously going to reuse the same argument P4-fans used to defend the limp-wristed SLinks and stories in that game? Seriously? In a game which now has its entire motif in the pretense of being an inverted Persona 2?

We can have Compile Heart fluff if you want, but if you're going to try to make things more "grounded" and bring in more "real world" or "hard" subjects then how about doing something with them IN the characters instead of just barely brushing against them? Lazy hack.

But it fits considering this is also a vigilante thieves which neither steal anything nor carry real weapons. And the end-game wins via the power of popularity.
Man, this really is an inverted P2.


Also
Okay then. You two played a very different game than I did. I guess you're alright if we just swiftly pass by Ann's incredible lonliness and neglect or Ryuji's childhood of alcoholic abuse if we can get to more ZANY HIJINKS!

You got me.

Isn't Caligula Effect a really fucking shitty game anyway? The few people I know who played it says it's god awful and there's certain bugs that make it unplayable, like one where it literally deletes every save file you have just for saving in a certain spot. Who the fuck would shill such a piece of shit?

Dojima and Nanako not withstanding, obviously.

Could have something to do with how the benefit of her Confidante ability was really weak.

Yes that game is a piece of shit just looking at it.
Everything just looks like a complete mess.
That shill just has shit taste.

this is true, didn't it just affect the alert level which anyone with a brain could avoid raising in the first place?

Personacucks are no better than Overcucks at this point.

>stop shilling cuckligula effect :^)
NO U


have terrible taste, apparently.
Not that I know of. I wouldn't be so sweet on the game if it was, but then again I'd second-check that info.
What is this, NISA? Never heard of that.

i dont know, i would have picked Ohya over about 50% of the other possibilities.

she's got some nice hips for an alcoholic news reporter.

Every time i see this shitfest of a game, i yearn to ask: why?
Was this playtested at all? The framerate is variable, shit camera, shit textures and models. Everything feels like this is some low six figure budget game slapped together in a few months.

I'm playing this game because of your constant shilling but it is pretty shit. Sorry but the marshmallow creampuff garbage at least has passable gameplay.

That's what I thought every time I saw Killer is Dead. Some games look terrible unless you are playing them (or unless the one recording them doesn't have a garbage capture card). Frame rate can get pathetic in highly intense explosive-friendly fights, though. That's the big gripe.
I bet you like Futaba.

Damn this looks fuckin' awful

Try googling it, "save bug tower" they STILL haven't fixed it.

i like the way she dresses, the lipstick is overkill but overall she gives off a cool vibe

Stop posting any time. I know it's only 3:45 for you at your office in the west coast, but can you ask your boss to let you go home early. You won't miss the few shekels you lose by leaving early.

That disappoints me. Never play anything anyone tells you to on this site or any other, especially from Holla Forums
If the dungeons in P5 were at all good and not repetitive back-tracking treks I would agree with you.


Can't find it. Post the link.

Anyone who was paying attention/not asleep generally, yes.

Comparing her to past Devil Arcana Confidantes, she lacks something to really pop. Sayoko had a bit of mystery and something sinister when starting her link, while Tanaka is practically a meme at this point.

Would you let a hooker give you a rusty venture?

NO I need the money


No, because I'm not a homo.


I really liked the Sun arcana. First time in these games, too.

just as bad as buzzfeed, why are you even linking to this site? use allthetropes.orain.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/TheCaligulaEffect


There isn't that much info on it because barely anyone plays it it looks like

the only brown-colored thing in the entire game is Bryan


why do we call him rusty again?

also its not cuckery if you take the child in because her mom died. thats more like adopting an orphan.

https: //gematsu,com/2017/05/caligula-effect-delayed-unannounced-date-europe
i think that is what he is referring to, the comment section has someone mention it.
Nice delay, shill-kun. But you're probably just fatlus USA PR, so you more than likely dont need to damage control or astroturf this issue. Let your eurocuck counterparts handle it for you!

He looks very similar to him in his casual outfit, which was also the first outfit that sojiro is wearing when you meet him.

I have a unlocked vita so I didn't lose anything by playing this besides ~5h of my life. And even then it wasn't entirely wasted because at least I practiced some Japanese because the nip version is the only one that is pirateable.

Either way, the gameplay of Caligula Effect is unbearable. The game feels like an unfinished indieshit mess. Persona 5 is tolerable and sometimes even fun.

oh right, that show, i downloaded it and never watched it

You should give it a watch, it is very entertaining. The first season gets kinda episodic at first, but there is a big mclarge story that begins with s3 and on

Oh no

I can get that. Yoshida was nice and didn't demand too much time.

Hermit tends to be a fun ride, but I was surprised at how comfy the Temperance Confidante was this time around.

Kind of waiting for Moon to make more of an impact. Best Moon associated character was Maya Amano back in Persona 2… though I kind of liked Ai in a way… and Mishima was inoffensive for the most part…

Good god.
Please stop, i can't take this plagiarism anymore.

can you stop posting this garbage already


yeah you keep thinking that… and when you least expect it…

I didn't mind Mishima because he's such a beta fag you can insult him the entire time and he still ranks up

I meant for the series in general. I already completed his Confidante route. He's okay for his purpose to the story, but the guy is the designated Butt Monkey of the game, meant to be eternally stepped upon and having few victories for himself.

Doesn't work for me. I looked up what you posted, though, and the only source of info is TvTropes.
Good job.


As it should be.


Fair enough. If that's actually the case then it'd be best to not buy it, but I'm already well past the tower and nothing bad's happened.

Also I AM NOT A SHILL
I AM NOT A SHILL!
But if I were a shill I would tell you that you can buy the Caligula Effect™ Digital Deluxe Edition which comes with special swimsuits for everyone and a unique theme you can check out! It's well worth the $39.99 on the Play Station Network for your Playstation Vita™ so go for it now! Atlus USA® loves you so show us them some love too!
*~Play it right, Play it tonight!~*

Everyone involved with this situation deserves justice bullying of the highest order

How do we use this to maximize our funposting fun while minimizing the hack tracer's esteem?

Holla Forums should identify with him then

I found it on GameFAGS from a few posters complaining about it, like I said barely anyone has played it. Why do you have to shit on P5 to shill this game anyway? I'd have been willing to give it a go during a sale if you didn't do that cause the more Fatlus waifu games the better for me.

JESUS!

becomes

...

...

I can relate… though for me, it was often more Persona Summons because shit like Shiva costs me 100k or so to hard summon when I'm not at the level.

Well, that and the 500k Medal that juiced up all your stats by 5.

And I wasn't the only one who dumped all Luck Gear onto Futaba, am I?

HOLY SHIT THE PLAGIARISM DOESN'T STOP
Getting all from a steam thread before the thread gets locked.
steamcommunity.com/app/453800/discussions/0/1327844097128446640/

...

Is this game any good as the other people are saying in the thread. I saw one review of it that said it gets really repetitive. The time based combat looks ok and the writer is worked on Persona 1, 2, and 3, but the music is awful jpop and it's seen overall as average. Is the game worth a pirate on a PSTV?

Also some more Midnight Animal stuff I found because this shit is blatantly tracing everything (one of them is a compilation with stuff already posted but the train one is new). Also a lot of the steam discussions are locked and the creator keeps denying tracing.

He is worse then Eva

...

Game is alright. I'd wait for a price drop on it seeing as it's only digital.

Damn, user, racist much?

Dude, she broke down in like 2012/13, if you didnt know by now, then im sorry i guess?

All jokes aside, yes. Caligula Effect is excellent…story and character-wise. Combat is love-or-hate it. Framerate gets terrible at points when there is a lot of action.

Honestly, it really is good but a pricedrop is a great idea (or if someone emulates it, but I doubt that will happen).

Because Caligula makes P5 look busted narrative-wise. I am upset P5 is not better. I said that already.

Good thing I'm not actually a shill, then.

when do you date kawakami? i have her maxxed and havent gotten an option to date her yet

Still hoping we get this

fuck off.

But it worked so well last time!
It only ruined… basically all characterization of Persona 3!

Its mainly a joke a Fem mc wouldn't work in P5 for many reasons.

Reminds me more of Wakaba than Togo.

How the fuck did Atlus not sue his ass already?
If this was Nintendo can you fucking imagine the salt?

so persona 5 is basically Death note? like how persona 4 was Diamond is unbreakable

P5 is lupin III

...

Is it bad that my heart flutters when I read this

imagine in the retardworld of the people asking for a female MC how this link would go.
yeah, that would surely go w-

OH WAIT, thats the first palace.

No user its normal.

I think those same people would just want to lesbo it up or something

...

It sure doesn't feel like it

Something like that?
Lupin and Vento Aureo

TOO POWERFUL

Why is Midnight Animal looking like this now? It used to look like straight up Hotline Miami 3.

I approve

Why don't more girls do this
It's way too attractive

Because women are way too forward and have lost the art of the tease. Instead of dressing cute with just a hint of sexy, they dress completely slutty.

Checked, and you are not alone putting luck gear on Futaba. I have no idea if it makes any difference, but if feels like the right thing to do.

in what fucking universe.

dressing like a slut is not being forward, its being a super tease.

Question: Why does it take Mitsuru nearly a month to get over her father's death but only a couple of days for Haru to recover?

Since her persona has high luck, I always assumed some of her skills depended on her luck stat (like resetting the items after battle).

But it probably doesn't do anything

it doesn't, it's all RNG

maybe because Harus father was a fucking asshole.

its easy to get over the death of a relative who is/was a fucking asshole.

He meant an utter lack of subtlety

Because she came around when there was only a month left in the game, had to rush that plot

While she was upset her dad died he was still a fucking ass so it might of taken her a only bit to get over.

They should just stop adding party members after September in these games.

Highly underrated

is this game trying to say that populism is bad and people like trump are bad?

No, it doesn't take into account anything from the US and was made long before our elections anyway

Shido is nothing like trump. Shido is more like hillary. He lied about his motives, made up a boogeyman (phantom theives) to denounce to increase his reputation. People were saying that people who didnt vote for shido were "un-japanese". Shido killed many people to get where he was. Shido is just jap hillary.

but shido is a populist

This guy summed it up, Shillary is way more of a populist than Trump anyway, she actually had no campaign policies at all except to appeal to people's feelings

shido can't be trump nor hillary, because shido didn't want to suck the cock of israel at every possible turn.

Tora never made it ;_;

...

he is vague so does he think thats a good thing or a bad thing?

What's the issue? It's not any better or worse if you reverse the genders, the issue with Kamoshida is that beat them up and raped them.

Big whoop, the writing in this game makes it pretty clear that Atlus couldn't care less about these people.

well he is a populist. i mean when you see regular people wearing hats, shirts, and flags with a campaign catchphrase non-ironically you already know you're in some serious populism.

Shillary did it too, except her populist meme was weaker than trumps populist meme.

Shido should have had one of those dank populist memes.


no user, even in japan, a male teacher dating a female student is seen as a horrible crime while a female teacher dating a male student is like "eh, who cares". so the problem would be in-game. not outside.

besides, there are no decent male teachers in this game. there's the history professor, the pompous smug asshole, and the burly one that throws chalks at you to dodge with your PROFICIENCY fucking hell i love dodging his chalk throw and seeing the classroom be like WOW IS HE A NINJA?

Except you keep your relationship with Kawakami a secret, obviously it wouldn't be any different here.
Shit taste.

take this shit back to neogaf or cuckchan where it belongs

would you?

I don't particularly want it since I know it wouldn't live up to my expectations, I'm just saying the reason he gave in that post as to why it would be a bad idea were retarded.


Yuck.

...

These games are male dating sims, that's reason enough

What, consider her for a romance? For the most part, YES. Problem is not her face but her legs. A woman's legs (and man's for that matter) can tell you a lot about what genetic predisposition they have towards obesity or otherwise. From what I see, NotSadayo here can very easily become overweight if she is not careful. Notice how her ankles are not as defined as her wrists. They are too thick, and the bones of her ankles are practically invisible.

She is a cutie and her face is pretty much exactly what I'd expect from a real life Sadayo (she is a Japanese woman after all) but her hair is too bright and her legs are too thick, showing a bad predisposition which would only get dangerous after multiple pregnancies and age.

So I suppose the real answer is NO.

Are you really asking this m8?

Shido was basically an old school call back to the banzai days of not giving a fuck about other nations but themselves.
Tora was like a more populist Ron Paul

Going with Ann just to get some revenge on Morgana is incredibly tempting.

Who left the NEET out?

this is funny because I had Satan as one of my personas (along with Lucifer) when I went into the last dungeon.


pure coincidence goy


top post

This man is correct

Watch after completing the game for full effect

its not very funny tbh

Aw. I enjoyed it, at least.

...
