Reach Out to the Truth
Futaba Romance: ... Why was this even nominated? I mean, it's fine. I think we all want a tiny gamer girl waifu, that's the entire NO I said I'd stop with the Danganronpa references. Anyway, I think we all remember Sojiro telling you not to date Futaba, then being like "Well it wouldn't be that big a deal I guses."

Green Persona 6: I mean, the theory that its color scheme will be green makes sense to me. I have no problem with it, except that we won't find out until 2034, when they run out of remakes and P5 spinoffs.

Tatsumi Port Island: I'm very neutral about this city, to be honest. P4's small, slightly-dying town works perfectly for "everyone knows everyone" feeling, the fact that Dojima is in charge of such an important case, and the scale of the fog. It has so much personality. Tokyo works perfectly for being this giant slick metropolis that you could never see all of in a million years. Tatsumi Port Island is just a place. It's just a nice modern city. If I was going to pick out one thing about P3 I think doesn't work as well as the rest of it does, it might be the setting, it doesn't really add anything to the game's themes, I think. I don't know what would be better than just "a secondary city in Japan," but it does not ooze personality like P4's and P5's settings do.

Magic Spell Names: I'm not going to lie to you, I sort of hate these. I can never remember which one is the +attack or +defense or +evasion boosts, and I have to check every single time. I can remember the names for each of the attack spells, at least. This is one area where I think "generic JRPGs" have an edge over Persona. Yeah, having these weird foreign names is cool and lends some verisimilitude... but also, I would like it when if a persona tries to learn Auto-Marakuja, I just know what actually means.

Persona Q Weddings: I had to look this up, I didn't know this existed, I briefly thought this was a mistype for P5T's wedding dream sequence. I watched several of them on youtube, and I won't lie to you, I was surprised to see Yu x Ken was an option. "Do I look like a girl to you?" "Yes." "No I don't, I have pants and short hair!" Dude, you clearly are wearing shorts. This must be some insane person's fetish, this isn't even the first time Ken has gotten into one of these relationships in a Persona game. Koromaru, too, huh? I like how unhappy everyone looks in these, that's the same expression I would have. I don't know, conceptually this could be funny, but the repetitiveness and low-effort chibi art harms the actual practice.

Yosuke in the Camping Trip: What an absolute asshole. Again, the context would be completely different if they kept in the gay lover storyline, but since they cut it, he's just a jerk to Kanji for basically no reason.

Remaking Persona 4: Everyone joked that Atlus would remake the old games before making a new game, and then it just stopped being a joke. It's like... P3 and P4 were perfectly fine as they were, especially P4. They were not flawed masterpieces that could benefit from advancements in technology, like Resident Evil 1 to the REmake. And the fact that they have this super nice and shiny HD look to them now, when they're still set in 2006 and 2008? Like, it was perfectly fine for them to look like old shitty PS2 games because that was appropriate for when they were made. Oh well, at least we can look forward to them all being remade AGAIN after Persona 6 comes out. What game has been remade the most times? I don't even know. I think I'll probably skip this one, P3R had nothing new to offer except remixes of songs and snazzy All-Out Attack images, which you can just see on youtube now, and P4G was way too long anyway. By the third semester, I just wanted the game to end, I was happy that P5R's third semester is only a month long. Do you realize that if the Persona 4 characters were real, they'd all be in their thirties by now? Not even early thirties.

Persona 6 Development Time: Two years from P3 to P4, eight years from P4 to P5, and nine years so far since P5. Remember the golden age of Final Fantasy, when they were pumping out a game every year or two? It's kind of incredible how popular this series is relative to how slowly it produces games. And I know it has a quintillion spinoffs, but still.

Persona 5 Tactica: Persona 5 Strikers feels almost like a real game. It has the look, it has the style, it has complexity, it has a storyline to justify what's going on. It has its flaws, but it feels like a genuine attempt was made to be a real sequel, even if it just completely ignores Royal's additions. Tactica, on the other hand, feels like a low-effort cash grab. Like, when I think of spinoffs, I think of a spectrum, right? On the right, you have spinoffs that are basically as good as the real games, like FFT. On the left, you have zero effort spinoffs that are just there to make a quick buck, like Resident Evil Gaiden or Soul Calibur Legends. And there are games in the middle where they had effort and ambition, but lacked skill or time, like Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls (I'm trying to stop with the Danganronpa references, but I just can'tttttt). Tactica is definitely on the left end of the spectrum. I can kind of appreciate the idea of taking the established characters and putting them into this totally new setting with a completely different tone, but it's just so badly done. None of the characters matter except the new girl, the entire cognitive world is now just one guy's insecurities about his family (a random new middle-aged man we don't care about), and like, you're supposed to get invested in the efforts of these rebels against their evil overlords, but all of them are just abstract people wearing silly hats who are just cognitions and will disappear as soon as you defeat the bad guys because they aren't real, so none of them matter. So it's like, yeah, it's just a shitty spinoff, but at the same time, Strikers came out not that long before this, and felt like a real game, so this is just completely embarrassing by comparison. I wouldn't rank it THAT poorly if it wasn't sold for a full 60 dollars, but it was, so fuck this game.
