How About These Fish, Huh?
Oct. 14th, 2021 01:57 pmA few months back, I told my mum about a client I had who was worried all his poems about piss might make people think he was into watersports, and then I had to explain what 'watersports' meant. Ten minutes later, she asked, 'Do you think he was winding you up when he said people might think he was - what was it called - a rain merchant?'
Between work, other games and overambitious projects, I've slowed down on Persona 5 Royal, but here are the notes I've been making here and there over the last three (real-world) months! I'm in mid-November; I've cleared the casino Palace but haven't yet sent the calling card.
PERSONA 5 ROYAL LETS ME INVITE RYUJI TO THE BATHHOUSE
Ryuji goes 'You got it made, man!' and both choices are great: 'Wanna move in?' and 'I live in an attic.'
Ryuji's enthusiastic about being asked to move in as we bathe together.
I'm choosing all the flirtiest options with Makoto and I have no regrets. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed her dynamic with the protagonist. The whole 'fake dating' storyline is a lot of fun.
'I guess b-boyfriends... um, really can be... reliable...' Makoto's so awkward right after we start dating, and it's very cute.
It seems weird that we never celebrate anyone's birthday. Maybe every character's birthday falls two days before we meet them.
No, I just checked and Ryuji's birthday is on 3 July! You should have said something, Ryuji; we could've hung out! If I replay this game, I'm going to look up everyone's canonical birthday and spend time with them on that day if possible.
I really love how Sojiro gradually, grumpily warms up to us.
I love this 9 October hangout with Futaba where we bump into Iwai! Delighted by the opportunity to describe Futaba as 'basically my sister', and by the fact that Futaba's terrified of Iwai at first but then nerds out over model guns with him.
I really like the rank 10 non-romance confidant scene with Ann. She's a person who values her friends so strongly.
Aww, Kasumi notices I look like I haven't been sleeping well and asks if I'm okay! She's very sweet.
I didn't notice on my first playthrough, but there are Hallowe'en decorations and people in costume around the city if you wander Tokyo on the 31st of October!
( And some spoilery notes on Persona 5 Royal. )
The problem with Akechi's design is that, whenever he's talking, I'm just thinking about how much and how undeservedly I love Light Yagami instead. Light and Akechi would absolutely loathe each other.
