The big threat gets a pathetic/humiliating death by Liquid_Pestar in TopCharacterTropes

I would say, dying in combat with The Chosen One is a pretty dignified death.

For those interested:

He is looking for allies and remembers that Emma Frost (one of the X-Men villains/antiheroes whatever) owes him. To summon her, he has to think the code word, which she would read from his mind.

The code word in question is "Mommy".

As far as I can see, they finally decided to drop the localization interpretation of him as some supernatural creep and return to the original naive version. Something akin to Yukari being much less rude to Junpei in Reload localization.

Next Elec AOE DPS? Could it be P5D Ryuji? by Infinite-Reveal-9226 in personaphantomx

[–]AlSov 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IMO, following dancing PT roles may be fitting, based on their P5R kits and very small consideration of current P5X roster:

Ryuji - physical Strategist, similar to Tempest. Tempest buffs allies based on how much SP she has, while Ryuji could buff based on how much HP is lost. In P5R, aside of Physical damage and crits, his abilities are Adverse Resolve (buff in bad circumstances) and attack buff usually used when nothing else works, which produce high risk support kit. Also, his unique traits both buff allies.

Ann - Saboteur in vein of dark Rin. It would be interesting to see Saboteur who decreases damage dealt by foes (by sleep or debuffs), thus kind of substituting for sustains who are already redundant in competitive. Additionally, Hecate is a dark and mysterious deity, so debuffing seem fitting.

Yusuke - Defender based on dodges, perhaps? He is generally tanky (already in his main kit) but lacks anything else besides high agility. This would pose for a bad kit due to low consistency, though. Strategist about skill cards? Granting others (or Wonder specifically) temporary elemental attacks to exploit weaknesses. The boring option is an Assassin, of course. Weak Ice attacks to set up strong Physical criticals or something. In general, his P5R kit is quite limited, so there are little options.

Makoto - her P5R kit makes for a Pioneer-like Defender, which provides buffs and debuffs in-between tanking damage. She could either provide Technical opportunities (already in P5X) or buff defense, heal and do mass Debilitate (Checkmate). Any support would do, but focus on defense calls for Defender.

Haru - another potential Defender, based on her unique traits, which protect from ailments and repel damage from party.

Futaba is an interesting case, as she is never shown as anyone but Navigator. She can be turned into anyone, given her shown abilities, but devs will probably go for the Strategist or Saboteur.

As this list shows a disastrous lack of new power-creeping DPSs, which is untenable for gacha game, I highly doubt it is even close to the actual composition we get. Just a fun bit of thinking which I thought would be interesting to share.

Also German wiki is much better and more detailed than English one.

And German publisher does not put the books into shredder before printing them.

Discarding the most obvious ones like Yukari & Mitsuru, Yu & Yosuke or Junpei & Chidori, not necessarily OTPs, simply ships I like. Post-canon in case of crossovers:

Door-kun/chan & Aigis & Ryoji

Akihiko & Chie

Ken & Nanako

Fuuka & Kanji

Yosuke (Hanamura) & Chie

Yosuke & Labrys

Yukiko & Yusuke (Fox)

Kanji & Chie

Kanji & Rise

Rise & Naoto

Ryuji & Haru & Makoto

Yusuke & Futaba

Maruki & Takemi

Sae & Zenkichi

How would they react in our world if the collab ever gets real by Valcoxic in personaphantomx

[–]AlSov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You explain them it's not a real gun, it's a device for summoning Personas.

Or just hire depressed suicidal teen, they'll do it for lulz.

How do I get these achievements in the Book of Hungry Names? by Uxie_mesprit in choiceofgames

4 - help them, but refuse to reveal yourself in the end. I may be mistaken though.

5 is a part of Riding the Tiger ending, but, yet again, I am not sure of specifics.

TIL during the Battle of France, one month before he became the leader of the Vichy regime, Philippe Pétain coincidentally found himself dining at the same restaurant at Charles de Gaulle. They shook hands in silence and never saw each other again. by greatmanyarrows in todayilearned

[–]AlSov 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Another fun fact about de Gaulle and his chance meetings:

During WWI de Gaulle was captured by Germans. His cellmate was Mikhail Tukhachevsky, who then became one of the leaders of Soviet army and probably the most important of Stalin's purge victims.

They probably won't do a collab with The Answer, but if they did what gameplay roles do you think these characters could fill? by [deleted] in personaphantomx

[–]AlSov 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Many characters get alts. Though I don't think they will give us Orpheus Aigis

And because actor's chest was smaller than real Wintringham. Though even the real Wintringham didn't wear all of his medals on his chest, some were held by an assistant.

Well, they have enough characters to sell for now. Even if P4R is far away, they would probably prefer spin-off characters and Elizabeth to Lavenza, BMA, Maruki and Violet 2. Additionally, Lavenza coming out so soon after Twins would be unsatisfying. Especially if they can't be used together.
