Moved on to P5, same LPer train I've been on lately.
Flash Bastard
Highlights so far include starting to pull on a sweater right as Morgana first catbuses and just... pausing. And giving up on the sweater for a bit.
Flash Bastard
Also "I want to lure out the Reaper just to see... I'm gonna go get some water, hopefully it won't show up while I'm gone."
Flash Bastard
THE SECOND SHE GETS UP: chains
Flash Bastard
She came back with water just in time to see the ambush. XD
Flash Bastard
"Well, we learned a valuable lesson today."
Infychu
RIP
Infychu
The lesson is DO FEAR THE REAPER. FEAR THE REAPER VERY MUCH.
Flash Bastard
SURE IS
Flash Bastard
It was also very interesting seeing a perspective on the Nude Modeling debacle from someone who has done nude modeling. Her take: Yusuke went about asking all wrong, but Ann was the one making it extra weird.
Flash Bastard
(Without really faulting Ann for making it weird, too.)
Infychu
Honestly, I'm 98% convinced he wasn't sincerely asking.
Infychu
Him being so aggressive about calling the police for trespassing makes me feel like his angle was purely "If my ultimatum is something they definitely won't accept, I can force them to leave."
Infychu
"Wait WHAT, they said yes?! What do I do now? Okay okay, maybe this painting will actually be good. Let's work with this."
Flash Bastard
Yeah, I think it's part 'Madarame put him up to it' and part 'WILL YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.'
Flash Bastard
Or there's the manga version, where Morgana's the only other witness to him asking and it's just 'aha! this is a Normal Art Thing that will improve the painting!'
Infychu
Ooh?
Flash Bastard
yep! While Ann and Morgana are at Yusuke's for Modeling Round 1, Joker and Ryuji are getting the dirt from Nakanohara.
Flash Bastard
And then there's no weird blackmailing hanging over the whole thing, just 'this is literally the only excuse we have to get back into the house and pick the lock on that door.'
Infychu
Honestly, less suspicious than moving around as a big herd.
Infychu
That sounds way better TBH
Flash Bastard
It really is.
Flash Bastard
(Still mad about the PTs being caught at the accessway hideout twice and then NOT CHANIGNG HIDEOUTS FOR ANOTHER MONTH.)
Flash Bastard
(Not like it was the only place in Shibuya that they could've used as an access point to deal with Kaneshiro...)
Infychu
RIGHT?
Infychu
He had the whole ass fuckin city/district/whatever, just choose somewhere else.
Cerise ♢
Stealth is for when we have the masks on, sheesh.
Flash Bastard
HEY GUYS ARE YOU READY FOR THE PHANTOM THIEVES MEETING
Infychu
SURE CAN'T WAIT TO TALK ABOUT TOP SECRET ILLEGAL PHANTOM THIEVES BUSINESS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE ARE
Flash Bastard
Sae: I can easily identify your co-conspirators with a little investigation.
me: so do your damn job and investigate, woman
Flash Bastard
"Wait, if he heard Morgana talking about pancakes, then he also heard Ryuji talking about us being Phantom Thieves."
Flash Bastard
...well, yes, but also no.
Infychu
Not the point, but still true. Someone gag this poor boy.
Flash Bastard
Ryuji Stop Yelling
Flash Bastard
She also more or less immediately went 'Akechi's trying way too hard to be nice,' which is entirely true.
Infychu
He's a VERY Pleasant Boy.
Flash Bastard
The Most Pleasant.
Flash Bastard
Honestly, the best part of Third Semester Akechi is that he's just like 'fuck it, Chaos Gremlin Mode activated and I'm not turning it off.'
Infychu
^^^
Flash Bastard
His battle navi lines are hysterical.
Flash Bastard
Freaking out about Yusuke spending the night. XD
Flash Bastard
(She keeps calling Sojiro 'Souji,' which is confusing. XD)
Flash Bastard
I'm still 99 percent sure Yusuke's the only one who's noticed he's in an art slump.
Infychu
Sure seems like it
Cerise ♢
Dangit I need to catch up on third semester LP of any sort. And yup. Yusuke, your slump is what many art folks would call 'productive and creative', I'm sure.
Flash Bastard
Also watch the Royal version of Akechi's Confidant link. They de-automaticked it and it actually works a lot better.
Cerise ♢
o7
Infychu
It's fantastic TBH
Infychu
I already loved him, but the confidant and especially 3rd semester are even better.
Flash Bastard
ROYAL ACTUALLY SHOWS YOU ANN AND MAKOTO AT THE CREPE STAND, I LOVE IT
Flash Bastard
A fair theory from someone first playing P5 in 2020: "Takemi just cleared this little girl of The Corona in like two minutes!!!"
Cerise ♢
Fffff...
Flash Bastard
She suggested 'Rider' as Makoto's code name right as Yusuke did.
Infychu
(LOL)
Flash Bastard
"OH MAN THIS PERSONA LOOKS SO COOL"
It's Izanagi.
Infychu
Izanagi IS cool
Flash Bastard
He is!
Flash Bastard
"I need to be smarter! Bitch can't talk to me because I'm too dumb, I hate this game."
pastel ranma
pfft
Flash Bastard
(Well, I know from the Akechi video that she dated Hifumi - HELL YEAH HELL YEAH - so clearly she got there eventually. XD)
Infychu
Honestly, the stat gates are so dumb
Infychu
And TBH Makoto's in particular offend me because they make even less sense than most others.
Flash Bastard
The opening Knowledge gate, I buy, since she's so academically focused.
Flash Bastard
The Charm gate, though...
Infychu
Like what, I'm not SMART enough for you? Get the fuck over yourself and hang out with me to help me study if you're that hung up on it. What, I'm not CHARMING enough to hang out with you and this asshole you suspect is ruining your friend's life? Why do you give a shit about what he thinks to begin with? Is your friend's life going to just pause in falling
Infychu
apart until I up my skin care routine game and get a new haircut?
Flash Bastard
Of course it is, you're the protagonist!
Infychu
I mean, yeah. XD But if we didn't operate on Sidequest Rules.....
Infychu
The academics gate makes no damn sense though, let us hang out and up academics AND support points with her if we're not smart enough to unlock the confidant storyline.
Flash Bastard
Legit.
Flash Bastard
on Futaba: "She's either this Alibaba person, or she's the leader of Medjed. One of the two."
Flash Bastard
Por que no las dos?
Flash Bastard
"Excuse me. You just turned my ally into a fucking mouse."
