RYUJI IS EVERYTHING HE PUT GINGER IN MY SOUP FOR ME WHAT A PRECIOUS CINNAMON ROLL

I'm about 3? hours in and enjoying it so far. I've only given a few hours to Persona 4 so this is more or less my ground level entry.

Also Morgana's voice actress is great and v v cute

[Wolf Kanno]

I hope you enjoy. Persona 5 was a blast of a title.

"Mreh heh heh heeeeeeeow".

(is the best line in video game history)

[Fox]

Oh wow P5 content!

I didn't see this comiiiiiiin'

I completed it last week so am excited to experience it again vicariously.

[Jinx]

....................smurf Kamoshida killed Shihu, didn't he?

[Jinx]

oh no, he's just going to drive a girl to suicide

[Shauna]

Ryuji is actually terrible

Anyway I look forward to your choice of best girl. This will determine the fate of our friendship

[Fox]

I don't think there's any wrong answer for best girl choice.

Just less right ones.

[Jinx]

wow y'all are trash, ryuji is everything

i want to marry him

[Wolf Kanno]

Ryuji was always hit or miss for me. I hate his short temper, but he's a fun dumbass all the same. Yusuke is my fave character from P5.

FOR REAL?

also imho kamoshida is the best/worst villain in the game. absolutely vile

[Jinx]

dude ryuji is so pure

[Bubba]

Ryuji doesn’t look right... the name I mean. I just keep thinking of a Ryu Emoji. As in Ryu from Street Fighter.

Ryuji
Kenji (actually, that works)
Chun Liji
Blankaji

Now I’m sad that Street Fighter emojis aren’t a thing

[Mr. Carnelian]

Ryuji is great. He's by far my favourite of the dudebro characters (i.e. Junpei P3, Yosuke P4).

THANK YOU BB

Okay, so I just beat Kamoshida's Castle.

Thoughts so far:

I love that the mini-boss to reveal the stairs is a dick monster. A slimey dick monster, but you can't tell me that's not a cock.
I named my character Bucket. Now, you might think I get a giggle every time other characters have in their dialogue. And sure, that's great. But nothing cracks me up more than Bucket-kun.
Morgana is a weird name for a boy. Mona isn't any better.
This game reminds me a LOT of the Shadow Hearts series (or at least, Covenant).
I've still got a loooong way to go, but I'm considering doing a 100%/guided run after I finish this run. I'm playing it blind right now, and no doubt I'll miss a lot of things I wouldn't have otherwise. But I'm loving this so much that I might have to play it again. We'll see how burnt out I get by the time I finish.

So far, obviously, I only have Ann. And I freaking love her. If other girl(s) is better, she will be great. I was expecting to find Ann an annoying Mary Sue--and I'm certain that there are people who have a case for that--but she's not like that at all to me. I guess that's sort of her whole thing (subtly) is that she's more than her looks.

I think something I'm enjoying so much about this game so far is that I like all of the characters. Usually by this point there'd be some that I love, some I hate, or at least feel ambivalent about. But I love them all. Granted, your character is kind of voiceless, but Ryuji, Ann, and Morgana are all great. It's made me invested in a way I didn't think I'd end up invested.

Also, Morgana is just like, a split of yourself. Igor keeps talking about rehabilitation, Morgana lost all of his memories, he has a black and white motif JUST LIKE YOU. Calling it now.
