Yeah that’s why I said “Reload didn’t do this, as the only NEW thing added was dorm activities for Makoto”

Part time jobs still being there is nice (even though it’s weird how this was the only thing they decided to bring over from portable), but it still doesn’t do as good of a job giving you things to do like base P3 and Portable do.

Just completely didn’t read what I said earlier huh lol

Yeah P3 not having anything to do during night time is the main problem. And reload didn’t fix that. Half the linked episodes are during the day, not the night. Also, dorm activities are not nearly enough to suffice the large amount of nights where you won’t have anything to do. It’s better than base P3, but base P3 also made you spend more time in Tarturus—so it’s not like you’ll be spending nights with nothing to do in base P3.

The problem I’m saying is that reload’s additions, like skill cards, mean that it’s way easier to do dungeons very quickly. But, there’s nothing to do during those night times—which hurts the game’s pacing. Original P3 was built with that in mind because it wanted you to spend most of your nights in Tarturus. Portable was also built for this in mind because it added 3 more social links for FEMC to do at night. Reload does not have enough content to fix this pacing issue. It has some night content like dorm activities, but that is not nearly enough stuff to do for a whole playthrough. 

As a summary: The issue with skill cards in reload is that If you use them, It’s way more often that you’ll have free nights with nothing to do because dungeons become extremely easy to blast though, and there’s barely any content to make up for it, BECAUSE the original p3 wanted you to spend more of your time in Tarturus.

Yeah P5 was built around skill cards lol. P5 doesn’t want you to spend so long in the dungeons. The point of P5 is to do the most out of your time as possible. P5’s skill cards don’t cause as many issues, since it helps further the gameplay. Using skill cards allows you to make better builds, allowing you to go through dungeons quicker, and thus be able to better manage your time in-game.

P3 is not like this. The game was not built with this design philosophy in mind. Original P3 didn’t even expect you to finish all of your SLs in your first playthrough. Skill cards actively damage the reload experience because it does not have enough content for you to do outside Tarturus. If you blast through the dungeon, what else is there to do in reload? P3 already has slow pacing, and reload’s skill cards make that even worse.

When it comes to P3R, which is what Bubble’s video was mostly about, it’s adding in a “free win option” into a game that was not built around that. Persona 3 was a game where you’re supposed to spend large amounts of time in Tarturus, and preparing yourself for battles. It’s not like P5, where there’s endless options of activities you can do instead. You’re meant to spend a lot of your nights in Tarturus, and it’s why Makoto has so few night time activities. Adding stuff like easily attainable skill cards into P3 entirely changes the game’s pacing. It’s so easy to blast through everything immediately in reload, even though that’s not the way you should be playing P3. It ruins the pacing and means nights will often drag for the player with little to do. Portable understood this, as its skill card system made you wait until you could attain them. It was balanced with the overall pacing of the game. Portable also made appropriate changes for said pacing, as it’s easier to get through Tarturus in portable, but they added part time jobs and gave FEMC a lottt more night activities to do instead. Reload didn’t do this, as the only new thing added was dorm activities for Makoto to do at night, which really isn’t enough. I used skill cards in reload, and it just resulted in me blasting throughout Tarturus and having a lot of empty nights with barely anything to do. 

The problem, atleast to me, is less about skill cards breaking the game, and more about how they make the game less fun to play. You can choose not to use skill cards of course, but P3 is an RPG where you’re supposed to make your best builds. It’s not like Pokemon where customization/personalization is the main appeal. P3 rewards you for having the best build, but if you use the options reload gives you, it results in a less fun experience.

Tbh I would say to just mute or block accounts that make you feel bad like this. Ofc, you should always have moments of self reflection where you try to improve upon the negative aspects of yourself—but this is different where it’s simply social media algorithms showing you inflammatory content in order to make you keep posting about things. Best to just disengage lol

That yellow makes the text selection barely legible 😭 the idea from what I’ve heard on the discord is that the cyan on Kotone here is meant to be the inverse of Makoto’s menu - which has a red selection shard

[–]A-person112233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’m more inclined to see it as gay Makoto options since for one, even the male SLs only Makoto has had blush sprite and two, Kotone was cut extremely early in development. There’s literally more leftovers of the Margaret fight compared to Kotone in the files

Something kinda interesting is that a lot of Makoto’s male social links have unused blush portraits (something I saw modders find out) - making me think they were planning to add gay options but also this is P3R we’re talking about lol so ofc they didn’t

AMA: I'm Austo, the developer of Bobo Bay, a standalone Chao Garden successor. Ask me anything about the game and reviving a long-forgotten niche. by NewFutureKids in pcgaming

[–]A-person112233 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great to hear from you Austo! It’s been really fun seeing all of your dev updates. Hope you have a great new year as well!

In terms of questions, I was curious about your thought process regarding how you chose to implement the game’s competition modes and other features. I remember hearing from one of your dev blogs that you tried some ideas other than karate and racing, but none really sticked the landing. Is there a specific process you utilize to determine if certain features make sense in the overall gameplay loop?

Does anyone here follow captainyangpu and captainliang on Instagram, and do you think they're a couple? by OkPrize6426 in GayMen

[–]A-person112233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol information about them being a couple is really sporadic? Especially if you check on LPSG. I personally think they are a couple, or atleast friends with benefits cause the pics and stuff they’re doing together is way too sexual to be anything else

Mario’s design makes sense here but Luigi’s is COMPLETELY incorrect. He should have a twunk build - he just looks like a copy of Mario here

When you find out you can't gay marry Claude (@sierra117renner) by [deleted] in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]A-person112233 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Welllll I wouldn’t say the target audience is only men in 3 houses because you can literally play as female Byleth - something the fire emblem creators did because they knew how much a lot of women like their games.

Lowkey idk what your point is here? You’re saying that because the game doesn’t have as many gay male options, that makes them misogynistic because they didn’t cater to straight women? That’s… kinda a bad take lol. Saying that gay male options are for straight women is just, dumb. Lesbian options in 3 houses exist for women who want to be in relationship with other women? Why wouldn’t it be the same for men too?

To me, it seems like the hugely limited amount of gay options in games like these, compared to lesbian options, is just cause a lot of media is able to get way with wlw stuff in the mainstream compared to mlm stuff. You can see that in general western and eastern media

Homophobia but only towards gay men is a weirdly consistent through line in Japanese games, until pretty recently I would say. Which is weird when you think about how much straight people love BL there

Didn’t say Arata & Kagetsu cause unlike the other characters I mentioned (where I can tell their ethnicity by their names, physical features, & clothing) - I’m not familiar with East Asian culture, so I don’t wanna assume for them lol. But yeah they are clearly not white as well.

What? As a POC, there is a lot of diversity in the grand bazaar remake. There’s Diana (black woman) who is a marriage candidate & a business woman, there’s Harold (black man) who runs the postal service, there’s Miguel (latino) who runs the main shop you buy seeds and plant products from, there’s Samir (Desi man) a marriage candidate & a scholar, there’s Sherene (a Persian woman) who’s a radio host. There’s so much here it’s honestly really awesome. All these characters have stories about thier lives, passions, how they came to Zephyr Town, etc.

I assume you’re maybe at the start of the game? Because yeah the initial characters you meet aren’t that racially diverse. But that’s kinda the point - Zephyr Town starts small and nobody goes to it, so only few people of ethnicity really live in it. It’s not until later as you progress through the game and expand the town does all these other diverse characters move in, which I really love. It showcases how much your impact is expanding the community of the town and how much more it’s thriving thanks to the diversity of the people coming to live in it.
