the plant's plastic, isn't it
yeah the plant is plastic
can't a boy and his cat just have a fucking summer vacation without being locked in a dream panopticon
its nice to see you girl but where the fuck is igor, in my recollection when igor has not been around, shit has been Fucked.
(I assume they couldn't get the VA for this gig, but also: i love Igor? yeah.)
It's fucking Zuckerberg, Reverie, come on. You shouldn't have installed that spyware shit on your phone!!!!
i'm gonna be real, the textures are NOT fantastic in this game, lmao. I am gonna peek at settings later. the aliases need some more anti juice.
there's a statue there?????
/googles
oh huh i.......... never noticed that. i just noticed the pretty trees. whoops. i'm a bad tourist.
Rather than directing us where we need to go to get the camping shit, the shitty AI is like "hey INSTEAD I am going to direct you to an idol event nearby" this thing is atrocious and we should uninstall it and go back to mapquest
also, I have made an Executive Decision. I am resetting my emotions on Ryuji to zero. I am taking my hatred and ire and all the times he made me uncomfortable as the player of the video game, and I'm putting them all into a box and putting those emotions away. I am going to give Ryuji Persona5Strikers another shot to not be a contemptuous little shitheel I want to eject from the story.
Mostly because his voice actor is doing such good work and I would like to like Ryuji.
But if he dehumanizes or sidelines Morgana, the deal is off, okay? Okay.
ANYWAY, Ryuji is like, hyped for this instagram girl.
Reverie only hangs out in coffee shops that have oat milk and attends shows for bands you've never heard of, he doesn't care about influencers.
OH WOW OKAY
Alice Hiiragi.... Hiiragi......... why the fuck is that familiar..............
oh, Hiiragi was the Enka singer who was married to Namatame in Persona 4 before the scandal went down. I wonder if that's relevant or just a coincidence.
oh okay so something screwy is going on and she's going to, like, kidnap all the people who have cards, or something? is she the white rabbit?
lmao no she actually references the white rabbit later. okay. i DO like her theme and vibe a whole lot, even if she is giving heavy Acid Trip Pastel Tim Burton Bad Guy energy. But Wonderland is honestly a very cool foundation for a neat villain, so I'm cool with that.
thanks, they're fake so everyone thinks i'm a soft boy when really i'm more punk rock than iggy pop at a ramones concert. hi.
I appreciate the consistency, Morgana, lmao.
uh "Keyword"?????
oh my god EMMA is just a reskinned Metanav fffffff
YOU KNOW WHAT reverie i am blaming you for this. You should have informed Morgana that you had a dream in the Velvet Room, since Morgana literally was born there and it might've clued him in to "oh hey maybe shit is going down" instead of being blissfully oblivious in vakittycation mode like a chump.
huh the anime cutscenes look way better in this game than in P5R actually. dunno why.
BUT YEP IT SEEMS ALICE HAS A PALACE. the Cognitive World is back.
oh okay that seems bad. so everyone who friended Alice with the EMMAnav is getting their hearts torn out???? what does that mean exactly? it seems bad. people need their hearts or weird shit happens, either Apathy Syndrome or having their cognition rebooted like in P5.
I am Concerned.
oh my god what is Happening there is so much on my screen right now
i think i might be bad at this oh dear
the first move Reverie learns is a pole dance, though, so I'm pretty psyched for that. maybe this will be the game where Reverie finally gets to follow his dreams and wear a skirt.
everyone is off their game at being a Thief i see
me IRL out loud: oh my god i love you
WHAT A FUCKING LOOK THAT'S AMAZING
i am sad she is probably just the first arc villain because WOW i am DIGGING this. god that FLAMINGO HEAD STAFF this is such High Kitsch, it's giving me everything.
asklfjds;af /laughing hysterically to self
okay persona 5 strikers we are starting on some high notes huh
reverie are you sure you aren't dreaming, man, this feels like a dream you might've had except the person stepping on you in stilettos would be a mean boy.
maybe that's Reverie's type. bisexual but mean-attracted.
aaaaaargh my Odin is outta battery, i gotta recharge it.
BUT SO FAR besides me fucking sucking at the gameplay THIS IS A GOOD START.

So I’ve Played Persona 5 Strikers...
And man... it was way, way, waaaaaaaay better than I expected. Couldn’t recommend it more than enough.
Tbh, I wasn’t all that excited for it at first since the P5 cast isn’t really my favorite. Sure, I like them, but not as much as P3 (I’m sorry for my bias, Phantom Thieves ^^”). I also didn’t follow any other news about this game, so I was coming in 99% blind? All I knew was that it’s a musou-type game and that there’s a new character or two? Also that it’s about their summer vacation or something. I didn’t know that it was gonna be a roadtrip.
Color me surprised when I started off with the gameplay. I’ve played Dynasty Warriors with my brother before, so I thought it was gonna be similar, buuut...... no, it felt different? I got worried at first since when I started out, there were so many things to learn and I wasn’t sure if I can handle it, so I just thought to myself, ‘eh, it’s a spin off. I can handle this’....... and welp. Turned out to be the most difficult Persona game I’ve played yet? Ol<
Once I’ve gotten accustomed to the controls, the game got more fun. I had a blast with the battle system, even though I died so many times... I do love me some challenge, though I did tend to use cowardly tactics, but hey-if it works, then HA.
Now for the story... it’s not super deep, but I’d say I got more feels with this than I did with P5. I swear, I probably teared up like 3 or 4 times? The villains are much more sympathetic than P5′s, and most of them were kind of relatable to me. The finale was also great. P5 still did give me that catharsis of exacting revenge on Shido :3. Somehow, I did feel that P5S feels closer to ‘You are slave. Do you want emancipation?‘ tagline of P5 when it was teased back in the days, and I liked that.
And of course, the characters.................. CAN I JUST SAY I LOVED ZENKICHI? I JUST LAUGH EVERYTIME HE’S ON SCREEN. I think... he might be my favorite P5 character, and that’s bad cause he’s a spin off character so who knows if he’ll ever get screen time again ORZ If there’s a P5 Arena with him, I’ll get it even though I’m not even a fan of fighting games Ol< Ironically enough, P5S made me feel closer to the P5 cast than P5 did. By the end of the game, I didn’t want it to end yet, and hoped that there’s a sequel T_T
That aside, I don’t wanna spoil anything, so that’s all I have to say. If anyone knows cute fluffy family fanfics with Zenkichi, or just fanfics of him just hanging out with the Thieves (bonus if hilarity ensues), pls tell me. I need more content >_<
