embarrassed so I'm! going to vanish (also the hour admittedly! have a good one.)

its maya!!!!!

her!

I’m not sure where sumaru would be supposed to be but I def think she would have no idea who okamura is either way. (would he have really been in business? maybe just getting into it, idk.)

thinking about trish (serves as the mid-dungeon healer for Money!) and perhaps. comedy option: trish attempting to solicit payment for good deeds (goodness tbd), maya in the background increasingly 'what do I do'

nnnnot sure how much she would/should remember between tdm situations and being a little further in canon… she can have some massive deja vu too? as a treat

continues with commentary :xa

noting to myself that that's in vague reference to telling the others about moving since. gestures at the everything (would it… have actually helped? probably not! but she doesn't know that so. don't worry about it)

tbh I think… it would be more likely maya mentioned joker? since what the name's doing in the stories is different enough… we'll see!!

haunting this a little, but was joker also used as a name in that game?

no worries! I like having reasons to talk about things.

yes! Joker is pretty much the start-off element for both parts of P2- in Innocent Sin, there's a rumour that calling your own phone will contact Joker who can grant wishes. there's an into an argument (part because school rivalries) and four of the group perform the call.

Well calling him by name with the two different contexts would surely be a shock to the system then XD

When i was watching my friend play through P2 we kept joking like "damn Atlus really do have to shove P5 into everything" lmaooo

oh yeah absolutely as Joker accuses the three unaffected by him (Eikichi and Tatsuya weren't participating in the call; I think Lisa has protection from her Persona?) of some sin they don't remember and promises to come after them when they do remember (assuming they aren't killed by demons in the meantime. thanks, man.)

I mean… timeline-wise……

but uh yeah

it is a lot like looking in some kind of funhouse mirror! demon negotiation is the easiest to notice (I think it's more pathed out in p5? I think there's some rng in how they'll react to answers in p2), but they also share the 'return/transform a Persona for an item' mechanic

I like this! but getting some of them to rank 8 is a bit of a pain (Beelzebub only has affinity with Eikichi, it's at Bad rank, and I think he starts with Zio… which has a couple combinations I think I wasn't carrying the parts for)

and then P5R third semester is- it's not exactly like all the rumours coming true? but close enough!

glad you're enjoying those games! I played original P5 a looong time ago, but I have played Strikers and Tactica as well >.>

mm, I remember you talking about it! I've only played the main game for P5, but I've been meaning to watch playthroughs for the others

I would recommend Strikers especially

it does look especially like pulling off a thief's heist!

I love the road trip aspect, too, seeing Japan. And I love one of the characters in it >.>

yeah! I went. "…if this is meant to encourage me to go see Japan… it's working"

(plus I wanna see Hachiko! we didn't see Hachiko ) (…and go to Jinbocho >>;; )

Hachiko is the best

'^'! that's good!

Well I meant that in general XD but I loved how the game did with showing different parts of Japan for sure

I see! yeah, what I've seen so far looked very good c:

thinking about maya's reactions (again/still) and partly… I think the group is probably trying to hold back in fighting against the present-day Masked Circle members? I… think you see them in Zodiac, after Kasugayama High, so some are probably students…

and I imagine they'd be trying even harder to do so after the Caracol…

(I'm not sure Maya would have put together who Aquarius was at that point and the blow she takes does look fatal so… I don't know. I think Maya is kindof bitter once she has it worked out, but in the moment it feels strange.)

in general the is team areless… intense probably does the job? (I finished up Smile Hirasaka for EP and am kind of baffled about the reactions…) but as far as the hunting question goes I think how you can get a question from an angry response where the contacted demon asks where it should start eating you

I think Maya might be a bit more inured to the thought…

also still thinking it'd be interesting to drop Philemon into things (though I'm… not prepared, admittedly). philemon dealing with the waking world? it could be very funny
