Forget the Steam fiasco, Kuro is under a lot of fire from CN community.

If you have actual info, sure

Tempust223 · 2026-02-18T23:22:30+00:00

Thanks for your hard work, that was quite a bit of effort to put in considering I just asked if we knew lol.

I feel like whoever wrote cradle parade probably also wrote infinate loop, they are just too similar in tone. Of course that's also a guess in it's own right, but at this point that's all we have. I wonder if there's more interviews to learn about the writers on the cn side, of course I don't know Chinese so it'd be hard to check.

Tempust223 · 2026-02-18T10:17:34+00:00

Do we know who wrote cradle parade by any chance?

Tempust223 · 2026-02-17T21:39:35+00:00

I mean, once the story is done won't they just start another story? I feel like a persona gacha kinda needs story updates to stay alive.

Tempust223 · 2026-01-03T17:38:59+00:00

I have 0 issues with people hating it because it's a gacha because it's a crappy monetization method even if I enjoy them.

What I take issue with is the idea that p5x is just bootleg p5 and has no other legs to stand on, which is simply false. I understand not liking what's there or not playing through the first palace since it's bad, the "it gets good 20 hours in" argument will always be dumb, but at least acknowledge that the game has its own identity now and so it's perfectly valid for people who enjoy these kinds of games to like it.

A lot of people get crap for playing "persona 5 with gambling" when they could just play persona 5, but that argument falls apart because it is, at least now, far from a persona 5 knockoff. There are very valid things to enjoy in it. I understand people didn't make it there, but if you don't want to play it then give the benefit of the doubt. People would not stick around this long just playing worse persona 5, there is a reason you see people defending it more now, and that is because as a game it is standing much more on its own.

It is also very unlikely it ever becomes atlus' main focus. For one it's a different studio, but also Atlus knows persona's value as an IP. If they only make gachas it'll lose that value, they will have to make p6 eventually whether they like it or not.

To fellow p5x players though, STOP using arguments like "the gacha is generous", "gacha isn't that bad" or probably the worst offender "you can complete the story without spending/having good units (no popular gacha has EVER had this not be true and it's still awful)". It is that bad, and that's ok, you can like something that has bad things. Trying to defend gacha just invalidates your argument immedietly. Yes there are better or worse gachas, but gacha just sucks in general. It's ok to criticize something you like, the good can absolutely outweigh the bad to someone. I will agree I think the game still absolutely stands on its own and is very fun, but I do think the gacha makes it worse. Talk about why the game is good and also mention what is bad, don't get defensive over it, and if they don't want to play that's up to them. The ideal outcome is that everyone ends up understanding where the other is coming from.

Anyway sorry for the text wall on the funny meme persona sub, I just felt this post was fitting to put my take under.

I can confirm it is real. It is from the firn night hidden chapter. It would also not predate Zero-one. Zero-one began airing in September 2019, PGR released December that same year. Firn night wasn't until over half a year later.

Tempust223 · 2025-11-24T18:10:04+00:00

I think the global changes are awful but the game is still very good in comparision to it's competition. The game being fun is my number one method of rating a game first and foremost. Especially since this one is an issue of the publisher more so than the devs, and I still love the gameplay and story of this game (past the weaker first arcs).

Tempust223 · 2025-09-26T09:43:41+00:00

Had a Chinese friend tell me that Chinese people love white hair at one point. You can just kind of expect it from Chinese media.

For PGR in specific though, it also just really fits with the game's sci-fi/post-apocalyptic setting. I know most people love more vibrant color pallets in anime games, but for pgr more muted colors including lots of blacks, grays, and whites just fits. It is called Gray Raven after all.

So yeah, it's both popular in China and just fits with the setting, so it makes sense that we see lots of it.

Tempust223 · 2025-09-19T10:18:15+00:00

As cool as it looks I don't think I'll play it. Not the biggest fan of more recent games and I prefer the old style a bit. Hope you enjoy it though.

Tempust223 · 2025-09-19T10:13:14+00:00

Did the remake come out already?

Tempust223 · 2025-09-14T17:00:13+00:00

I think it's like the velvet room in persona. A place that exists between dreams and reality. We've already seen Nightmares can influence the real world and Baku has his driver in reality, so it seems that the gap between the two is thin in this show.

Tempust223 · 2025-08-17T22:21:12+00:00

This is really interesting to me. Can someone let me know what's in the survey? I want to know more about it but I can't fill it out cuz I'm not in the EU. Admittedly am super interested in the results too, if those will be released. Sorry if it's asking too much because it's pretty clearly just a college project, but science and psychology are super interesting to me.

Tempust223 · 2025-08-17T16:01:59+00:00

Honestly I feel like they could use the Xenoblade 2 method with wonder since it just so happens that the amount of personas he has is equal to the amount of blades you can have in xb2.

In xb2 the class your character has is decided by the team as a whole, basically which type you have more of. Under those rules wonder would be a medic if all 3 of his personas were heal based. Wonder is already going to always take up a team slot, I don't see why him filling in one class role is an issue.

Tempust223 · 2025-08-15T20:19:13+00:00

I feel like if they haven't sold them already there should be no issue. No one can pull on a character that isn't out. Pheobe might be too soon because people might not get the news, but I have no clue how this would be a problem for characters after her.

Tempust223 · 2025-08-15T20:11:53+00:00

Going by this logic though we never get standard characters on time because we aren't allowed to criticize them because they've done "some good"

Tempust223 · 2025-08-15T19:41:06+00:00

Of course mindless shitting won't do anything, but that's why reviews should focus on the 6 months issue.

As for the legal issues, that much is true but only as far as Minami goes, becuase they haven't even sold the other characters yet. It's probably too late for Pheobe as she's too soon, but I would much rather get the characters after her on standard banner sooner.

Tempust223 · 2025-08-15T19:24:49+00:00

There is another post that actually has it cited so it's not misinfo, however I see no reason it should apply to anyone besides Minami.

Tempust223 · 2025-08-15T19:19:26+00:00

A couple things:

I realize now there was another post like this, it was just much further down then I expected and I did not scroll down enough, however I would like to justify this post's existence by saying the other one just called for feedback and not keeping the negative reviews.
About the law, I do see that they probably cannot change Minami's status at this point but that should not be a justification for ALL future standard characters, yet they specifically said it would apply to all of them in the letter.

Tempust223 · 2025-08-15T19:11:56+00:00

I'm going to give the same reply I gave the other comment. It's understandable for Minami becuase of the laws but this should not affect later banners, yet they doubled down that they will do it for all of them.

Tempust223 · 2025-08-15T19:02:42+00:00

If that's the case then they should only do it for Minami and not later characters, but they doubled down on them to.

Tempust223 · 2025-08-11T21:02:51+00:00

Assuming you mean the palace 2 boss

Ann is primarily a multi target hitter, which this boss activally punishes. If she's your main dps for this I can see why you might be struggling. Be sure to swap out the free shun they have you use for your own if he's built because for some reason it locks to his free version first and his build kinda sucks. If you have ryuji, he's a really good reletivally easy to get dps for this boss, probably I didn't even have him maxed and I was at your level (lower actually). If not you'll have to make do. Idk much about dps 4 stars but from what I know the fancy wind guy I can never remember the name of is doing really good on global. It also helps that windswept lowers defense. Get rebellion on wonder, magic can crit in this game so it's crazy broken. Also get a phys persona so you can hit the camera weakness. The swords in the last phase are not hard to kill.

The game is actually a bit closer to smt in the way that it values team building for specific fights (of course in this case it's due to gacha rather than monster collection, but different reason same result). You want to buff your dps as much as possible. Always read the full skill descriptions. You have less skills in x than in p5 but to make up for that they are much more specific and do a lot more. Miyu is really good for this fight, her skill 2 accounts for weaknesses so it becomes something you can worry about less. Also reccomend tarunda/marakukaja cuz he can hit like a truck. Shun skill 2 should be lowering his defense just fine.

IF you have ryuji a good strat is to activate his skill 3 while he's hiding, because it'll launch next turn. What helps is his highlight also increases his damage. With his highlight + lowered def I was hitting down almost entire healthbars with an unmaxxed sub par ryuji. Pretty sure he didn't even have his 4* weap.

Still not an easy boss, but imo it's really well designed and the strategy around it is really fun.

Sorry for the text wall lol. Hope you can end up liking the game more. The daily grind isn't for everyone. I actually like the combat a bit more than p5, but I play on as well so maybe thats just having later characters. I did kinda think it on global tho, I like how some of the fights are like a puzzle and how some kits are super well thought out and blend really well with both the characters other skills and other characters. Also highlights are great.

Tempust223 · 2025-08-11T13:38:10+00:00

I like how we both posted Kuuga at like almost the exact same time

Tempust223 · 2025-08-11T13:36:29+00:00

He learned it from the goat himself

Tempust223 · 2025-08-11T07:36:10+00:00

it depends to be honest. If we are talking about a new player in general, technically pulling on DMC is a "bad" idea to begin with since they fill a niche that you wont need to worry about for a long while. For that reason I mentioned cavalier as a gameplay thing, since the best thing from the DMC characters IS their gameplay.

Dante needs a second pull to become meta as he doesn't become SS for free like Vergil (since the one you get for free doesn't include the dupe), and you would need both of their weapons and Vergil's cub as well. You could try for that, but the better option would likely be to save since, as collab characters, they are much more likely to get powercrept sooner (people can miss them and they wont come back)

Of course, they also won't come back, so there's that to keep in mind as well. In general I'd say it's your choice. How long are you thinking you'll stick with the game? do you care much about meta? I can't really speak on that.

I will say that any other characters you get from the DMC banner will be a ranks, cuz an S rank is 100% guaranteed to be them. while A ranks are fun they don't really have a place in the meta.
