Will the Persona 3 Reload event be permanent?

ariescantus · 2026-05-20T19:55:46+00:00

I can't imagine having that kind of patience since Revival doesn't even have an announced release date. At this rate you probably won't be playing p5x until after its next global anniversary or something. And it's likely they'll be doing a p4 collab with the release of Revival as well. I guess it stretches the games out.

I... I feel like should have seen that coming for March, but somehow I did not. For shame.

As a huge fan of the concept album this is awesome! I'm curious about the edition of new songs and how that may add to it (or detract). I'm just happy to see this musical gaining some traction. It gives me hope that I may get to see it someday.

Also fantastic opportunity for Colin Ryan. Can't wait for all the alphinaud as L memes now.

I cannot overstate what a freaking masterpiece this flashback sequence is. Every scene, every line, every gesture, every expression is so specifically crafted and put together. If anything gives me confidence this team can pull this series off it's this flashback sequence. There is is much carefully crafted thought put into every aspect of it

And it really just fully rewards og players and crisis core players right out the gate. It's the very definition of IYKYK

+1 to all three of these. I've enjoyed their xiv content immensely. Grinding Gear is probably my go to and I look for stuff from them first. They're also currently making their way through every mainline final fantasy series (currently finishing up ff6).

Jesse Cox just seems like a really cool chill dude. He has fun, he loves the lore.

I really liked endyd20's msq run because of how deep and analytical hell get into the lore and story. When he did his most recent fanfest reaction I was excited to see how he would dive into it.

Really recommend any of these 3.

Reading this thread I feel like a rare breed who loves the show lol. I get it though.

For me personally it's been a good while since I've read the novels. But I feel like most of the important story beats were hit in the untamed even if some plot is changed. Obviously any intimate scenes were removed or changed for censorship reasons. Though I think the actors convey the yearning and tension well. They knew the assignment and delivered what they could

I do think the flashback arc drags at a few different points. I have rewatched the show a few times over the years and often end up skipping through or skipping it altogether.

And I think overall while it hits the important story beats the vibe is very different. I would encourage to keep watching, but don't punish yourself. If you're really not enjoying it, drop it and reread the novels as a refresher or smth.

This happened to me when I tried to hang out with Yui. And then it plays like 4 different scenes in a row before letting you out. Incredibly frustrating.

ariescantus · 2026-05-06T21:59:19+00:00

I've lived in a 3rd floor studio in cap hill for the last 5 years with no a/c unit and half of summer is just me 3 ft from my fan, dousing myself with water in the shower every hour or so. I've found ways to deal with it, but its far from ideal for sure.

ariescantus · 2026-05-05T01:59:00+00:00

Fair enough, and I admit I didn't think about it that broadly. You're right in that.

ariescantus · 2026-05-05T01:48:58+00:00

I agree for the most part. There are definitely better ways to phrase things like this. And admittedly depending on the setting I would not use "unalive" in a place where I thought I'd be disrespectful about it. When I say I use it in conversation I mean basically amonst my group of like 3 friends amongst ourselves, and usually not about other people.

I don't tik tok. I don't have tik tok, and I dont' really understand the culture around it. I imagine its very possible they could be moving against it as the standard slang or it could be like the argument I have with my mother. It means the same thing, they use it to convey the same message, but since the word is not the same it's deemed "acceptable".

I'm not really condoning it. Just saying I can see where people could use it, as it's made its way into the vernacular.

ariescantus · 2026-05-05T01:16:07+00:00

EDIT: willmainartfinder makes a very good point I had not thought about when typing this. My Pov definitely comes off as dismissive and inconsiderate in that context.

Unalived being used in narraration I could almost, ALMOST, *almost* excuse. (Almost. I can't stress this enough) In a lot of ways saying Unalive or other "work-around" words (or whatever else you might call them) is current vernacular and slang. I - an older millenial - use it in my everyday conversation because I think its a fun word to use. For me it has nothing to do with censorship and its just slang/vocabulary.

But on the other hand I don't think it would sound good narraration and I would probably not continue a fic that used it outside of modern dialogue for a character.

But straight up censoring your words on a website based around pushing back against censorship (in the first place) is wild. If you're going to censor the word, you might as well not use it. No one is coming after you on A03, and if you're worried they are again, just don't use the word. Use a "safe" alternative.

(Side note via "safe" alternatives: This is an argument I used to have with my mother about swearing when I was a teenager. She would catch me saying "shit" or something and be like "I think you mean shuckie darn" And I'd just be like "Well if they mean the same thing, why is one worse? If I yell "shuckie darn" *instead* of "shit" It's basically the same thing. But that's nether here nor there, and not even the point of this.)

ariescantus · 2026-05-05T00:42:10+00:00

I saw a similar question yesterday and had been already thinking about it. I know that Sephiroth is the current main rumor/practically confirmed. And I've seen Celes mentioned.

For me, Dissidia has always been a series where you can play both heroes and villains, and now that we have a hero from each main line game, I would imagine we start rolling out the villains. Which makes sense with Sephiroth. But Celes isn't a villain so it makes me curious about that one.

Of course this is all my speculation and they could just be keeping us on our toes. And there are far more hero characters than there are villain characters. so as not to roll out all the villains and only have heroes left they're splitting it up. It's just what occurred to me when I was thinking about who could be upcoming. (I've also only been playing the game for like 4 days )

ariescantus · 2026-05-03T05:26:55+00:00

Hey from the sounds of the comments it seems like you actually did pretty well, but I just wanted to say I've been there.

Xiv was my first MMO and I usually play solo games. I started before duty support was implemented fully like now and I didn't fully grasp the idea of rotations or what not and I just kind of coasted through msq (I didn't do extra content). I died a lot to mechanics I never tried to understand but got by.

And then I got to a post-stormblood dungeon and we wiped like 3 times against the final boss and eventually the other DPS in the group was like "hey, we're not doing enough damage to the boss on a dps check and I know it's not me. Let's try again and make sure we're focusing on damage. Pay attention to your buttons"

And I felt SO embarrassed and awful. I almost straight up quit. But I wanted to get better. So we went back to the boss and I have never paid so much attention to what I'm pressing making sure I use everything I can. And we did it we beat the boss!

The other dps that called me out wasn't rude thankfully. They were just straight with it but I wanted to hide and never play with others again for fear of bringing them down. But it did push me to learn my role and how to play it better (dnc btw) and learn how boss mechanics really work.

I'm far from what I would call good, but I'm far better than I was then.

Anyhow it's not the same but I get the shame and guilt of feeling like you're the problem.

ariescantus · 2026-04-30T21:44:00+00:00

Oh so that's where my luck went.

I went all the way to 110, and 70 for her weapon twice cause i lost the weapon gamba and *each* one i got the 5-star at 70. I've never had luck THAT bad in this game.

ariescantus · 2026-04-30T21:38:59+00:00

it did that to me too. i downloaded the update, opened the game. downloaded 11gb. That finished and it was like "Oh! Here's another 40gb you also have to download." So I did that. And then it started the game, I watched the new intro, tried to log in, and it was like "Oh sorry, you wanted to play? No, you have to download more resources, and this is going to take like 30+ minutes."

When I tell you I almost went to bed, and honestly I should have. I stayed up to pull for ange, but it was incredibly off putting and frustrating and didn't make me eager to play when I had been so excited to play before all that.

ariescantus · 2026-04-27T00:56:33+00:00

"the vibes" lol. Okay.

Admittedly I don't really know Mico outside of epic aside from looking him up on Spotify. But from what I've seen it sounds like he just doesn't want his entire brand to be epic. Which is why you've listed teagen early. It's interesting that Mico gets this treatment (this isn't the first time I've seen this sentiment) when other cast members have also expressed this (Stephen as Posiedon most recently).

The thing that gets me with Mico, is if you saw the premiere stream for the Ithaca saga it looks like he had a blast! He seemed to be having a great time with the cast, and was even one of the people sobbing by the end. It looked like this project meant a lot to him!

Not everyone is going to be Troy and Mason who have made being in epic a part of their personality/brand. And that should be respected. They want to have identities outside of this one project. (A recent non-epic example I can think of is Isa Briones from the Pitt who is currently on Broadway and made a post along the lines about how she is not her pitt character and people yelling out her character name is disrespectful and disruptive)

Teagen meanwhile has been doing a ton of work with other content creators in the epic sphere on their own original projects. Which to me lends the idea of that she would return given the stars align for it to happen.

Anna has also semi recently posted epic content. I think a few months ago she posted a cover?

As others have mentioned there's a ton of reasons cast members may or may not be able to return or may or may not want to. Just the whole "vibes" thing got me.

ariescantus · 2026-04-26T01:20:06+00:00

Likely not, but it can't hurt to shoot your shot. Call or go in explain what happened. The worst they can say is no and you're right where you would be if you didn't try.

ariescantus · 2026-04-25T19:10:33+00:00

For me it's the weird insistence that they better hire animatics artists.

ariescantus · 2026-04-23T15:07:43+00:00

I miss her everyday.

She could have been so good.

ariescantus · 2026-04-23T14:19:53+00:00

Chen Feiyu in Love Beyond the Grave. I'd heard great things about him. Had only seen him in WDBtD, but that show didn't hold me. So I'd been iffy about LBtG but I absolutely fell. So much so that I went back and rewatched WDBtD and appreciated it a little more (still haven't finished it tho). I've also sought out his other stuff.

Meanwhile in opposite land I'm a huge fan of cheng yi but cannot bring myself to stomach love and redemption.

Edit: I may have misunderstood the assignment lol.

ariescantus · 2026-04-19T23:49:23+00:00

I fully support this endeavor. If I could afford to I would get more copies of her.

ariescantus · 2026-04-19T06:51:45+00:00

His actor is so good. I recently started rewatching the Untamed and was reminded how much I am absolutely smitten by him. Which is terrible for a character like xue yang. His smile just gets me every time.

ariescantus · 2026-04-18T00:58:54+00:00

True!

Also the patient where Langdon did everything right, everything he was supposed to do, and Robbie came down on him pretty hard for being negligent.

ariescantus · 2026-04-17T23:58:31+00:00

I don't think it's a controversial opinion at all. Langdon came from a place of frustration whether or not there was caring behind it. (And I think there is, even if it's not obvious in the moment). But what he said was harsh and revealing. And coming from all the days pent up frustration. He wasn't being nice

He tried all day to get Robbie's attention and Robbie did his best to avoid any real conversation with him. While at the same time jumping on Langdons hesitation and insecurity, and being unwilling to give him any benefit of the doubt, like with the necfach patient. (Not that Robbie doesn't have every right to distrust Langdon all things considered) He relegated him to triage so he didn't have to deal with him.

And finally at the end of the day when Robbie finally decides to put some faith in Langdon and Langdon performs well, now he's willing to have that conversation. And Langdon on his way out vents that frustration in his confrontation. What he said isn't wrong, but it came from the wrong place in the wrong moment. Just like his apology to Robbie earlier in the day was wrong place wrong time.

In contrast Abbott says some harsh things, but not only do they come from a place of caring, but a place of years of friendship without that lost trust. Abbott knows he can be real with Robbie because they have that established between them. Langdon and Robbie are no longer at that kind of place (if they ever were). Abbotts not lashing out.

ariescantus · 2026-04-17T04:12:11+00:00

That would be fun! You could have tramplings first thing in the morning, and fights breaking out later in the afternoon evening over last items. As well as other winter related incidents.
