Little foreshadowing detail that I noticed on my PC playthrough. Spoilers obviously for third semester.

Sumire says her phone acts up. This could be because of Maruki's actualization. When she calls her dad in her scenes, her phone acts up. Possibly being at the moment her dad says "Sumire". It's not until we meet her dad in person that calling …

Sumire says her phone acts up. This could be because of Maruki's actualization. When she calls her dad in her scenes, her phone acts up. Possibly being at the moment her dad says "Sumire". It's not until we meet her dad in person that calling Sumire by her actual name makes things feel off from her phone to Maruki's reality.

Just something I noticed and thought was cool.

Oh Persona 5 at 60 FPS+, how I've missed you since RPCS3. You're just as lovely as ever. Even more so at 120 and Royal's even better. Finally going to replay my favorite game of all time again now on PC.

This game was absolutely life-changing for me. Never realized how much I could enjoy a JRPG game until I experienced all of the time and effort put in to make this game incredible. I don't have a single bad thing to say about this game.

Some thoughts on Persona, particularly Royal Xbox and PC

  • Persona 3 Portable is the more modern version of Persona 3, adding a new playable character and mysic, but I'm bummed on FES being left out. I wish there was a more definitive version that merges the two.

  • In the trailer, the showtimes ran at 30 FPS while Royal runs at …

  • In the trailer, the showtimes ran at 30 FPS while Royal runs at 60 FPS in-game. Could it be that the showtimes are prerendered?

  • I WANT THAT KEN ROMANCE GONE FOR P3P! EVISCERATED, DESTROYED! DON'T GIVE US THE CHOICE TO DATE AN 11 YEAR OLD! THE GAP BETWEEN FEMC AND KEN IS WIDE!

  • I'm still devastated by Billy Kametz's death, but I'm so happy more people will get to experience his role as Takuto Maruki when Royal hits Xbox/PC.

  • I'm excited for what Faz has in store with the mod that they are developing, incorporating unused content and voice acting.

  • How will the darts game in Royal work since they had motion controls?

  • Bruh, they spoiled the real Akechi.

  • lmao King Goomba is trending. Cope, seethe, mald.

Takuto Maruki is one of my favorite characters in all of gaming; he and his VA play a huge role in what makes Persona 5 Royal my favorite game of all time. The English VA, Billy Kametz, has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, so to see this piece of artwork from Shigenori Soejima really got me. It comes to show that no matter where you are, no matter the language barriers, people will be cheering you on. Get well soon, Billy. Let's all hope for the best.

If you're willing to donate, here's a link to Billy's GoFundMe page for his cancer treatment.

I beat the final boss last night. It took me over an hour and a half. That's ridiculous. I don't even have time to play for an hour and a half sometimes. And I bumped the difficulty down to easy because I'm tired and just want this to be over and it still took that long.

I beat the final boss last night. It took me over an hour and a half. That's ridiculous. I don't even have time to play for an hour and a half sometimes. And I bumped the difficulty down to easy because I'm tired and just want this to be over and it still took that long.

I'm over this game.

And then I played for an extra 35 minutes after I beat the boss and I still didn't see credits. I'm tired now because I stayed up late to finish it and I still didn't finish it.

I decided I'll probably never get the time/patience to play through all this so the next best thing is watching the "movie" version that compiles the whole playthrough minus non-essential portions down to 65 hours.

Still absolutely amazing. Played the original in Jap and Royal in English and loved it both times. The addition of Yoshizawa and Maruki was well done. They're both interesting characters with fleshed out backstories and the new last dungeon/boss were fun and annoying.

Makoto is still best SMT girl.
