Oh shit they announced The Answer DLC! Or rather an expansion pass? Kinda pulling a Xenoblade 2/3.

I'll do a more formal post tomorrow since I'm kinda trying to keep up with everything Atlus and Persona rn. I'm extremely behind on news.

(Play FF14 but also don't play FF14, you get sucked in and forget to play half your backlog LOL)

As someone who has had rib related injuries repeatedly, seeing Akihiko being so desperate to get back to the norm is such a mood.

Full Arc thoughts coming soon.

Hey folks, I have not gotten P3R yet. I will probably have it by Sunday.

According to Midori, the reputle source for Atlus information, The Answer WILL come to Persona 3 Reload as DLC. They're still working on it it seems.

Atlus not dropping DLC at launch? SHOCKING!

Oh joy, stores broke street date for Persona 3 Reload. Obviously, it should go without saying that we shouldn't start posting anything about it until February 2nd but I've already seen a few SMT YouTubers who got their hands on the game start to stream it.

Also it seems like Akechi's Palace is no where to be found. Must have been scrapped early. Why did they still have references to it in the release version then???

Some really interesting things found in the old builds of P5

Adult Nanako was planned at one point? Her animations are the same as FEMC from Persona 3 Portable. We coulda had older Investigation Team members man...

Speaking of Persona 3, Here's a never before seen Yukari model.

There's a lot more but these stand out. This is all from the 2015 build btw.

Holy shit the person who uploaded the 2016 builds bought and will be uploading EVEN OLDER builds.

Y'all I apologize in advance but I'm gonna post as much as I can about the early stuff, we might finally see that Akechi Palace the final build still alludes to in the files.

The linked video is of the Ryuji Beat Up Scene from the 2016 build, which still includes Yusuke and Joker's interjections. Thanks to the data leftover from the final game, we have the dubbed version of this version as well. This video combines both elements.

Okay heres some awesome news that just broke: Someone dumped an early build of Persona 5 that dates back to roughly half a year before even the Japanese release of the game. It's got a lot of early models, songs and whatnot. Cool stuff.

Here's the early version of Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There

Apparently the Social Link Abandonment Timer has been removed for Persona 3 Reload, but it's been replaced by something funny: The Social Links will text you or send you mail if you haven't done anything with them in a while. Though we're just going off screenshots from reviews.

According to this, Persona 5X takes place in a Parallel Universe to Persona 5. Both worlds are interacting due to a certain event.

OKAY I ACTUALLY HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT P5X. Again I have trouble keeping up with everything but there's a new closed beta test event going to occur from January 16th to the 31st known as The Stolen Heart test.

Unlike a lot of the other tests, this test is gearing up to be pretty interesting. Mainly because, The Phantom X group seems to be in DIRECT OPPOSITION TO THE PHANTOM THEIVES OF HEARTS.

There's even a moment in the trailer teasing it that takes place during Sae's Palace when Joker makes his huge distraction, but is attacked by Wonder.

It's causing a lot of debates if these events are canonical or not as, this wouldn't be the first case of another Persona User messing with Persona 5's iconic opening.

But...are the Phantom X more antagonistic than Vigilante?

What's going on with this game??

I got Persona 5 Tatica for Christmas. I'm close to finishing the first Kingdom I believe but I'll admit something to you all:

I'm not that good at Tatics Games

I've managed so far but dangit if those Quests prove that strategy isn't my strong suit.

I'll do my normal Arc Writeups of course, but know this will probably be slow going.

(And if you send me any asks about the game rn they will be deleted)

Persona 5 is officially Six Years Old, and I'd like to do some reflection on my own given its currently the holiday season, the point where the OG game concludes.

My journey through the Persona series was backwards, starting with 5 and heading back from there. Technically I had watched the first 4 episodes of Persona 4 the Animation but never got too attached to the characters at the time.

I knew and followed Persona 5's constant delays because at the time, i loved seeing what was going to be possibly a footnote in gaming history happen. But in 2017, the year it was set to come out...I kinda forgot.

Thankfully SEGA had another game releasing at around that time that was having a cross promotion with Persona 5.

THIS, THIS FUCKING IMAGE WAS WHY I REMEMBERED THAT PERSONA 5 WAS COMING OUT SOON.

I wish I was making this up man, but geez of all things.

So I got the game for my Birthday that year, my first year of college and...I hadn't been hooked on a plot or characters since Xenoblade 1.

So a few months after finishing my initial playthrough and a house move, I made this blog to post my ramblings and writings about not just P5, but SMT as a whole.

I might have only been in the Persona side of things for Six years now, but...it's been a blast so far.

I'm not going anywhere, even if my posts on this blog aren't as active as they used to be.

I want to write more, but I'm afraid of rambling. I have things in the wings in regards to Persona and SMT coverage. Including me possibly going for 100% in Persona 5 Strikers.

Have a Happy holidays and a Happy New Year everyone!

Apparently it's Erina's birthday today? Still haven't played Tactica but...happy birthday to the rebellion leader!

cannot stop thinking about how similar jun letting nyarlathotep possess him is to maruki first hearing his persona (the text in the 4th one doesn't match the voice acting which says 'you want power')
