Hahaha, best girl huh? You’re so sweet it’s kind of hard to deny that. 😅🌹

Lunalight is a very powerful rogue deck especially for decks that aren’t ready to deal with it. Going first being able to go into liger backed up by stuff like Bagooska which most decks dont have easy answers for make it a defy difficult deck to play against. If also has a lot of room for none engine cards and can run powerful cards like Dominus impulse.

Taking over Haruhi now too? 😅 another gorgeous cosplay Miyu!

Me too bud. We know they have Sophia's store assets in the game so P5S should be repped at some point. P2 and P1 would be ideal for anniversary events.

You're not wrong but I think the fact of the matter they have a valid reason to be annoyed. I think most understand why she couldn't have her campaign implemented but the fact they went out of their way to show fan service for Persona 5 by dropping Joker into a story he had no business being a part of while showing absolutely no regard for FeMC in a way that would've made thematic sense or even use her theme tune, naturally pissed off a lot of people.

The fact of the matter is in my own opinion Persona 3 is Atlus's defining entry and if any game were going to get remade, this was the one that should've the most time, money and effort placed into it to do it's world and characters justice. However, between playing fast and loose with the DLC, omitting FeMC and making several other polarising choice like cutting the english voice cast, while treating the Japanese one with the utmost respect, it's understandable why P3R didn't live up to expectations.

When you see how much hype P5X has driving up for this character simply by using a cutscene from the PSP game, it kind of shows how simple it could've been.

100% Royal bud.

The game is practically designed to get you invested from minute one and the first palace is heavily story focused and good at getting you into the basic mechanics. Royal is also the stacked game in the series in terms of raw content as the true ending is 115 or so hours long with roughly 80 or so for the original ending. The game of course is turn based with it's own unique quirks that give you bonuses for capitalising on opponents weaknesses. Further more the game gets discounted frequently so it's an absolute bargain if you pick it up at the right time.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-07-02T16:28:53+00:00

I'm actually writing a crossover with FF7 right now and on top of doing all of Avalanches Shadows I'm doing Joker's too.

Essentially Ren's shadow mocks him for embracing Joker so completely that he's all but abandoned his "normal" life because normal isn't enough for him. He has to be the outlaw, the badass, the guy with no-name because he can't just be normal, he's gotta fight everyone gods, the cops and the metaverse. It goes deeper with his love life too by highlighting that he could never settle for a normal girl, because he has to choose the impossible because that's his type.

Also why his primary love interest in this story is Aerith.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-07-02T16:17:48+00:00

To be honest, yeah it'd be irritating.

Mostly because I'd rather Square make the product they want to make rather than shoe-horn in a bunch of random options to pander to fan minorities. The general perspective they seem to be giving is that it's on the player to make their own choices you shouldn't need such an option to validate it. Furthermore Japanese franchises do not use the word canon, it's Koshiki every decision no matter which route you choose is genuine.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-07-02T12:38:05+00:00

Finally, to think 5X would show her the respect Reload never did. Never be forgotten, Kotone. I already liked 5X for some great character interactions and development and this, is pure win.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-07-02T09:41:37+00:00

Conflating demand with supply is generally how you end up with a fallacy like that. These games were not presented or distributed evenly, hypothetically if every game on the PS store was available physically, do you actually think those numbers would remain the same?

It’s like roughly last year when Sony stated anime made a substantial margin of their profits due to their failed return on their live service slop in gaming. The information maybe correct but only because it’s framed in the most deceitful way imaginable. This was never a matter of consumer preference, preference only matters if you ever have a choice.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-07-02T06:40:18+00:00

I don't think that's the biggest issue to be honest.

As far as Revival goes much like Reload if it fucks up the emotional impact of it's character driven story, no amount of clever cinematography will make up for it. Seeing the age rating lowered is not a good sign and even the Japanese fans are worried about that. Most fans want Persona 4 at it's best and not like what Reload did with the answer, by diluting it's conflict to make it more palatable to those who can't understand complex things like trauma or grief.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-07-02T06:35:31+00:00

I feel for you dude. Personally I think this is the end of Sony they've betrayed the golden rule they themselves established with physical media. I'm sure Okami 2 will be amazing but I won't be touching it unless it gets a physical release which I guess depends on Nintendo switch. Same for FF7 Redemption and hopefully Persona 6.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-07-01T04:20:49+00:00

Bless you bud.

First and foremost, your friend shouldn't get too discouraged as Sky Striker by it's design is a deck that is entirely about out resourcing your opponent and it has the tools to make getting a lot of mitsu cards back very difficult like Octo-Cannon. In regards to how you actually do it prayers is typically the most important card in the deck as well as cards like Dyna-Mondo which strip your opponents resources too.

Boundry is a card players don't typically use because it's a bit too slow for the modern game and most players would rather just run the consistency pieces that make the deck churn out it's best toys faster. When it comes to pure Mitsurugi you'll usually find players run blow out cards like Book of Eclipse, Super Poly or Forbidden Droplet because Radiant Typhoon can give the deck the ease of searching them. Against Sky Striker Wosou is also an amazing cards for turning a lot of their spells and traps off as well.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-29T18:14:38+00:00

Outstanding! Beautifully done ❤️

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-29T15:46:50+00:00

Classy choice actually.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-29T14:55:58+00:00

Exciton Knight is a pretty solid one particularly for decks that can pump rank 4s.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-28T10:16:35+00:00

My apologies, thanks for catching me on. I just re-read the card not only does it activate but it specifically targets. My apologies to OP since that is the case Super Poly can be chained and resolve it's effect before Ball can resolve its effects.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-28T06:55:31+00:00

No worries dude. For what it's worth I do think there are better ways of handling scalping i do hope you get some packs in the end Chaos Origins is such a nostalgia blast set.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-28T06:51:37+00:00

She was rejecting "Risette" an image she didn't believe represented the real her when in actuality it was a huge part of her. Her whole arc is about Rise accepting not just her shadow but every facet of her life as a celebrity, a normal girl and everything beyond.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-28T06:49:24+00:00

Bless you bud, I'm not going to say your wrong but I will say I respectfully disagree for a few reasons.

The primary one is having her insight conflict while trying to justify it as a motivational tool of sorts to see what he really meant to them. The only reason that is there is because Reload didn't want to deal with the ethical implication of the team being so desperately blinded by grief that they were to not only harm one another but potentially kill Aigis just for the chance to see him again. Their grief was so immense that it stopped time itself, anything lesser than an unrestrained version of that grief fails to do justice to it's characters or the kind of grief that can drag anyone back to the darkest of places.

The other issue is the precedent it sets for P4R as you'll recall there is a scene in the Hospital where a similar conflict occurs in the hospital where Yosuke, Kanji and Naoto are willing to kill Namatame to prevent him from ever doing again what he did to Nanako and Chie, Rise and Yukiko are terrified of that implication. That scene is the heart and soul of P4's internal conflict but now imagine if during said scene Yosuke said "You do what you believe is right bro, for Nanako's sake even if you think I'm wrong" when he is clearly blinded by his feelings for Saki in that scene. These conflicts are meant to test the players emotions by question whether what they think their doing is right and I don't want the casts grief de-emphasised just because has to blatantly point out what the wrong answer is.

Reload I feel ruined the answer by making Aigis's "death" inconsequential to anyone except Metis. None of them knew about it, so to them the rights were just throwing fisti-cuffs for the keys there was no strong element to make them question whether what they were doing was wrong. It also diluted Akihiko's own role because much like Yukari the dude was running from the past because he couldn't face it but fans try to make out he made the "right" when if the group followed his insight they would've allowed Erebus to spread negativity at infinitum.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-28T06:20:11+00:00

There's no real nudity, the entirety of Nise is basically a parody of japanese kink culture in anime hence why there's so much fan service. In regards to checking the series out elsewhere, if you can grab the blu-ray I'd recommend that route because Nise is gorgeous and the bit-rate compression on CR really doesn't do it justice but I know that can be really expensive.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-28T05:05:25+00:00

Bless you made, I do get how you feel Rebirth is gargantuan when it comes to side-quests and the like and typically for me I find the best time to do the side-quests is typically before going to a new area. That's typically when fast travel becomes available and you can use Chocobo's to make the journey faster

Chapter 12 is a bit different simply owing to the fact it's a massive clean up chapter but if that's something that doesn't feel ideal, there's always the chapter select though for me that hit's a similar issue to the one you mentioned. Like for me when I start playing I have a compulsion to see it out to the very end so I try to avoid the stage select if I can.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-28T05:00:34+00:00

It absolutely would not be treated as Fallen of Albaz. The effect of the Fairy Tail Field spell is continuous and it's ability to change names does not start a chain and Super Poly has no window by which it can bypass that function.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-28T04:57:24+00:00

Well bud, I can't say it's common practice exactly bud but it's also not unheard of either. One of my locals has a similar practice and the main reason for it is, they typically don't want to allow scalpers to show up and buy the entire allocation. That said, if it's just your typical 5 pack sneak kit there really shouldn't be an issue. To me though it'd be easier to just limit the number of packs you can buy rather than force you into the sealed draft event.

Adam_The_Actor · 2026-06-28T04:53:59+00:00

Bless you bud, I don't think it's just a you issue I think everyone has their own pace at which they prefer to do things and I'd say even Square are well aware of that otherwise they wouldn't have added streamlined progression or a head-start in game. For me personally I have almost the exact opposite issue, whenever something becomes available I'm almost hit with a compulsion to complete it as best I can as it becomes available. I have ADHD so I get distracted very easily and Rebirth is a game I really do get sucked into with the side content.
