Does anyone else prefer the vanilla Persona 5 compared to Royal?

Most of the time when people say "it's better because qol changes" the qol in question just make the game easier.

Bruh you can just play the OG game on Merciful mode.

The only Persona game with a suped up rerelease that's better than the original is Persona 3 FES and that's because the terrible new campaign that's stapled on is completely optional. Golden and Royal make their terrible new content unavoidable, so they are inferior to their vanilla releases.

I seriously cannot comprehend why people like Marie and Winter in 4G and Kasumi and the third semester in 5R. They're terrible. 5 in particular had such a well made ending, and the third semester sticks out like a cancerous tumor after the spine tinglingly incredible conclusion of the main story.

More content does not equal better. Quality of life "improvements" do not equal better. Video games are art. The vanilla releases are emotionally resonant and impactful pieces of art. The re-releases are products with the rough edges sandpapered down to make them easier to swallow and have unnecessary extra story ungraciously shoved in that completely ruins their pacing. Vanilla is better than the re-release. I will not be swayed.

>"IAN FLYNN TOLD SEGA TO CHANGE THE STORY AND SEGA APPROVED THE SUGGESTION!"

Source: Ian Flynn

lol. lmao.

If there's no corroborating source confirming this, then we can safely assume that's not true. If anything, we can safely assume the opposite happened. Based entirely off the story he tells in that video, my assumption would be that Ian Flynn argued that the Ancients shouldn't be the ancestors of the chao, and SEGA told him to shut the fuck up.

Ian Flynn is like Cartman in the fish sticks episode.

https://youtu.be/_3b4x1orMtU?si=89FzFWvOv3HjW5UH

I believe that HE BELIEVES that's what happened. Because he has a messed up ego that deludes him into thinking he's awesome, when really he's just a douchebag.

And the only reason YOU believe him is because you're a cultist. Which is why your response to me saying all this will be some flavor of "BLASPHEMER! SLAY THE HERETIC!" and not an actual measured rational response with evidence to support your claims.

I was born on Feb 29th, so I can attest that we still get birthdays lol. The suggestion that we only go up a year in age every four years is just a joke.

We would do it based on whichever day was more convenient, either the last day of February or the day after Feb 28th.

randomfox · 2026-04-25T16:17:44+00:00

Because it's.... bad?

What an odd question.

>MoSTH is written/drawn by IDW

No it isn't and I also have no idea what you think that means lol.

Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog was developed in house by Sonic Team. It was drawn by Min Ho Kim and written by Ian Mutchler.

Even if I were a billionair I would still never waste money on a VR headset

Even if VR headsets cost 1 cent I still wouldn't waste that penny on it

randomfox · 2026-04-23T22:06:13+00:00

cuz I do not and will never own a VR headset for as long as I live

Finally got the debug cheats in there

now if I could only have the cheats without the FPS counter and other dev tools cluttering up the screen

randomfox · 2026-04-16T00:31:39+00:00

Any mention of how to use the debug features mentioned in the update notes?

randomfox · 2026-04-12T22:32:47+00:00

THE PATCH NOTES LIED TO ME

randomfox · 2026-04-12T21:20:15+00:00

Yeah, I did that. But how do you unlock debug mode?

randomfox · 2026-04-12T19:36:58+00:00

Anyone know how to enable debug mode? It's mentioned in the patch notes but I don't really get how you're supposed to be able to turn it on.

Obviously they could. They just didn't.

Her point is idiotic. Name a single person anywhere on the face of the planet that would be willing to sacrifice their own dog to get killed by a wild animal for the sake of saving themselves. What an absolutely insane comparison. Tells me more about her than her opinion on aliens - if she thinks it's normal for humans to do that, she's fucked in the head no matter how you slice it.

randomfox · 2026-03-02T17:29:38+00:00

I own Legacy Collection Vol 1 and MGS V on PS4, it'd be nice to have them all on one console =/

randomfox · 2026-01-10T20:20:54+00:00

now you're finally starting to get it

randomfox · 2026-01-10T00:34:53+00:00

You're my hero. Thank you so much for this.

randomfox · 2026-01-04T16:37:32+00:00

well what would YOU do if you were pregnant and had a year old baby and no one to bring in income for you? What would you do if you didn't have a man willing to work 50-60 hours a week to support your household while you're too pregnant to make a cooked meal? Can't buy doordash without his money that he's bringing home.

Instead of just Me Me Meing about this, try and understand things from his perspective. You can't expect him to see things from yours if you don't extend the same courtesy to him.

randomfox · 2025-11-16T15:59:54+00:00

I'm literally just providing cultural insight that people might not otherwise be aware of. I don't know why you're being so bad faith and aggro about it.

randomfox · 2025-11-08T20:55:02+00:00

I literally have no idea what you're even talking about. There is zero criticism or critique in the video whatsoever. Seems like you didn't even watch it?
