Ryuji headbutts you so hard you forget how to do the punch thing
He headbutted you so hard that you forgot what the punch thing was called.
 
I once did a playthrough of Persona 5 which I somehow completed where I started a completely fresh save, on Hard, beating the game with Arsene only. I relied almost entirely on the despair ailment in the late-game segments, and I constantly thought about how morbid it was that I was essentially driving all my enemies to suicide.
 
By the way, should we get some work done on merging the Nyx and Nyx Avatar profiles? I'm more than happy to deal with that.
 
And we somehow consider Akechi crazy for inflicting madness on Shadows, when we could've done worse by inflicting despair.

Although, come to think of it, either Call of Chaos is ludicrously potent madness manip, or it might even bypass resistances, if he could use it on people's Shadows which have an extremely high resistance to ailments.

Again, I would like to bring this up. If we can get a bit more support for the changes, I can handle the merging myself.

The theme pre-dates PCB by like 7 years (Persona 1; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn3Q0Tz2zfg). Both series started in 1996.
The series may have started in 1996 but the song I was commenting on is from Persona 3, the One you're talking about from Persona 1 doesn't sound like this rendition.
 
For those wondering about the Extra Scenario of the Eternal Punishment remake, I found some translations. Might be helpful for more hax and maybe scaling purposes.

Now that I'm fully available, I'll get to work on merging the Nyx profiles. I'll start by just transferring the info from the Nyx Avatar profile to the Nyx profile.
 
I believe I am finished. All of the Nyx Avatar's details are on the Nyx page. If I've made any major mistakes, let me know.
 
Added some of the visual stuff to the profile. I'll ask that the original Profile is to be deleted.
 
Because it is inferior to the psp version. I want to play EP in the best way possible given how much I love Innocent Sin. Also PS1 emulation is... eh.
 
I'm not not gonna list it. Go to the megaten wiki, it has all the improvements that the PSP has over the PS1 version.
 
Concerning P4 Arena characters, I wonder if it's viable to add their character-specific mechanics as hax? Naoto being able to use Fate Manipulation to reduce resistance to Death Manipulation using her bullets would be pretty ridiculous.
 
So long as it's not specifically Game Mechanics it's good to go for most abilities. For example Android 21 from FighterZ can absorb enemy techniques in abilities.

Celestine & Gorokichi P5
For those who haven't seen them yet.

Celestine and Gorokichi. Ann and Yusuke's new Ultimate Personas.
ann's is downgrade imo , her previous persona was neat . but i guess the new one fit her more.

Yusuke just became the ultimate pimp and i love it.

any info about the rest of the gang third persona ?
 
awww shucks , i wanted to know the name of futaba new persona... well at least she have a star destroyer now to go with her new all out attack :)

and i really like that morgana returned with a beefy persona , i loved zorro's style and diego is right down that alley.

Akechi Character Trailer, featuring:

  • Loki has access to Laevateinn unique skill, a single target Almighty attack which deals Colossal damage based on old data.
  • New hang-out location.
  • Serrated swords are his new weapon, but he seemingly keeps the sci-fi pistols.
 
now that some good shit .

but damn makoto have a freacking armored/tank limo as a final persona ,that's dope

still not as good as a star destroyer tho
 
My guess is that he's still dead, at least in the real world. Likely temporarly alive (until the "fake world" collapses) like Wakaba and Haru's dad. That being said I do think it is actually him, not some copy (which would be a cop out on the part of Atlas).
 
His redemption arc better be scrapped completely in the first place. You fundamentally cannot convince me that the guy who basically ****** up everything, killed a bunch of people and is in general an unsympathetic psychopath can be redeemed because "daddy issues".
 
Adachi got one so i don't see why akechi couldn't have one .

i do agree that it would feel pretty weird tho , especially with futaba and haru around . i'm willing to leave him tied up in a room alone with futaba and haru for a few hours to settle the issue haha
 
If anything, Akechi dying for the team is a bigger cop-out than him living to serve his punishment. His "redemption arc" is Ren learning to understand his perspective better, not him being forgiven because of it. Adachi wasn't forgiven, and he did much less than Akechi did. The most he got was getting brought out of prison to help against Hi-no-Kagutsuchi before going right back in after he'd won.

Also, while circumstances don't excuse the shit he's done, can people stop calling Akechi's problems "daddy issues"? It's a serious understatement for all the bullshit that actually happens in real life to orphaned Japanese children. Sure, none of them become murdering psychpaths because of it, although suicide or a life of misery aren't really much better options.

Ren got his life ****** up because he did one good act against a powerful person. Akechi had his life ****** up by being bor. Calling the level of unfairness he went through because of something he had absolutely no control over something like "daddy issues" is a serious insult to the lives of people that actually went through that unfairness irl.
 
It's annoying because it reminds me of the people that unironically think it's just "daddy issues".
 
Don't take this as an accusation on you, it's just me ranting about idiots I've found on Reddit recently.

You'd be surprised how many people actually brush off legitimately sound and extensive arguments with nothing but "lol daddy issues". I mean, have an opinion on whether or not he should live or die, that's fine. Just as long as the reasons are thought-out, or at least understandable.
