      Nah. Kawakami coming to Joker’s house because he needs her to make him Molotovs and lock picks, and not questioning what they’re going to be used for while he chills in the same room and watches a movie. Or when he asks her to do his laundry and for some batshit insane reason the dirty laundry she ran through the wash comes out as a shiny new plate-mail armor.
      If you don’t finish her Confidant link, I swear that poor woman spends her year absolutely terrified and confused as hell…
      Imagine a Low-Knowledge Joker calling her up, giving her some Red Phosphorus, and jotting down hand-written instructions to make a miniature nuke, and she’s absolutely dumbfounded because, morality aside, this psychopath can write said directions so clearly an amateur like her can successfully follow them, but he’s somehow still failing science class…

    The whole 'Never reload their weapons' thing actually is played seriously in a rather smart way in Persona 5 SPECIALLY in Royal. Because their powers comes from the collective unconsciousness and what people think and assume become real, when you point a gun at them the enemy naturally assumes the gun has bullets in it, and therefor it does.

    I wanna go over Yukiko and her fan real quick as I did learn a bit on a trip to Japan recently. So fans were indeed used as weaponry by ninjas back in ancient Japan, and they were usually made out of metal as it could be used as a blunt weapon when folded or a blade when unfolded as the end was usually sharpened. They weren't as common as a concealed balde, but they were indeed useful.

    IIRC, they actually do explain why they mostly stick to realistic firearms in P5. it's a continuation of the "Your Mind Makes It Real" aspect of the Metaverse. The more realistic it looks, the more damage it does. That's why Joker buys from Untouchable, because all of Iwai's stuff looks super realistic. Of course, that opens the question of why Akechi can use blasters and beam swords, but hey.

    I don’t remember if this was ever explained, but I always found it weird that Yu could buy guns for Naoto in P4. In P3, there aren’t any normal guns, but even if there were, I could accept it due to the special arrangement they have. In p5, the guns aren’t real. In P1 and 2, there’s a bunch of magical shenanigans at play to justify it. In P4 though? Man just walks into a normal shop, asks a guy to hook him up with actual, working guns, and the guy just does it no questions asked. Adachi didn’t even need to become a cop to carry a gun. Man could’ve just went to the Inaba shop and snagged one.

    The "Game Over on protag death" thing is very likely a holdover from mainline SMT, in which it makes total sense: SMT demons are not your friends, and if you bite it, they're not going to keep fighting for your cause.
    The only Persona game where this could kinda make sense is the PS2 versions of P3: That game is all about the social simulation to it's core, it's the same reason that you can't control allies in battle or have to talk to them to change their equipment

    There is precedents for coins as weaponry within japanese media. I believe there are multiple instances of characters who have flicked coins at enemies as a form of attack, but the one who leaps to mind for me is the main character of the sukeban series Hana no Asuka-Gumi. If I recall right, her lucky coin is connected to a chain, allowing her more options for use and retrieval of it. It may be implied that Baofu either has large stacks of his coins, or that he has them attached on thin wires we just can't see, somewhat similar to the above example.

    As far as the "coins as a weapon" goes, if you place a coin between your thumb and middle finger and then snap, you can launch the coin. With enough practice, you can get some force behind them and aim pretty accuratly. I have a wooden door in my house with an imprint of a penny in it from me doing exactly this.

    I think like half of these things have logical explanations. Like with Morgana, people do hear him several times. With the kid that sits behind Joker, he's probably the one that draws the Phantom Thief stuff on the blackboard since he's the closest student. He most likely suspects Joker is a Phantom Thief but he's a supporter so he doesn't care. That also explains why he never rats you out for making Molotov cocktails at your desk. Well, that and who would realistically rat out the guy making Molotovs that has a reputation for criminals activity? That's a good way to die.

    Flowers and coins as throwing weapons could just be a reference to Sailor Moon's Tuxedo Mask and the literary character Zenigata Heiji, an Edo period detective who'd use coins as a projectile. Inspector Zenigata from Lupin III is mentioned to be his descendant by possibly 6 generations.

    Regarding Persona 4's weapons - I remember hearing it's a "the TV world makes it real" situation, like in P5's cognitive world with its weapons. For example, Chie's just imitating kung-fu movies for her moves, but that doesn't really stop her from being the physical powerhouse she is in the TV world (and looking ridiculous in the real world).
    As for Morgana's slingshot, I've always mentally hand-waved it as "Cognitive world Morgana is cartoonish, so a cartoonish weapon fits the bill". I'm more surprised that Iwai sells them in an airsoft shop.

    13:21 - 13:32 This is a unironically a good criticism. It's bad world building when it feels like the entire world revolves around you, especially in an RPG.

    In persona 5 just after the interrogation futaba activates the navigation app and seends both akechi and niijima to the metaverse without them knowing, but niijima leaves and akechi goes to kill the protag. Its believable that that futaba just used the app again and brought niijima back but akechi, i'd think be to far for the app to work. So why did it take akechi weeks later for him to think that the protag might be still alive? He would have noticed that day that he was in the metaverse.

    • @ThatGuy-kj4hz
      @ThatGuy-kj4hz 6 місяців тому +1

      According to Futaba, the point from which you enter the Metaverse will become sort of like a checkpoint. If you cross said checkpoint, you'll automatically leave the Metaverse. Akechi walked past that checkpoint when he left the interrogation room and was thus brought back to reality without any outside assistance. However, when the Nav activated, Sae was facing the opposite direction, hence why Futaba had to prepare an audio file beforehand that would instruct Sae to return to the interrogation room, thus allowing her to return to reality and rescue Ren.

    I can make up justification for some of the questions here (some because I don't want to spend all the night rewatching, taking notes and answering)
    Why do the p5 members doesn't use exaggerated or fantasy weapons? easy, they didn't think about it, most of them are just normal guys so the most powerful weapon that they can think about is a normal revolver or shotgun, instead of, i dunno, THE NEO ARMSTRONG CYCLONE JET ARMSTRONG CANNON. There's also the how to hide it (since I believe they have to own the weapon IRL) and the accessibility.
    Why there isn't a litter box for Morgana? Easy, it either goes outside and does in a tree or smth, or just goes to the bathroom and does it's necessities there as we do (as I believe Morgana thinks as a human rather than as a cat)
    Why spending time with Elizabeth doesn't advance time? Probably because she's Igor's assistant she gets some kind of power that allows her to control either space/time so spending time with her requests doesn't hinder the protag.

    Another logic issue with the names, the Japanese versions have a character limit of 3 for your first name and 3 for your last name. The only megaten I've played so far that I can write my own name in Japanese (It's a 5 letter word in English but in Japanese you can write it in 4) is SMT 5 Vengeance because the character limit is now 4. I guess every gaijin name just doesn't exist in Persona logic. Since I only play the Japanese versions of these games I've had to just make up a random Japanese name but I can still write stupid stuff if I get creative.

If you bring a model fat man, people would either A: recognize it's a weapon from a fictional series thus making it not work, or B: they don't know it's from fallout but still don't think it's a real gun which makes the fatman useless. Can't make an excuse for Akechi though, even with today's modern science, I don't think we'd have laser swords or laser guns

    In persona 3 at least, the explanation isn't stated in game, but from context we can guess that
    *Spoilers*
    The Death Shadow/Ryoji probably escapes automatically escapes when the protagonist dies, resulting in the world ending even if they're revived, which may be unlikely if everyone's favorite Appriser just popped out in full shadow form and started to kill everyone around him.
    After Ryoji escapes anyway, the logic stops making sense, but the gameplay mechanic has to continue for story reasons.
    Similarly, in Persona 5, Igor's being impersonated by Yaldaboath, who's looking for an excuse for you to fail in your "Rehabilitation" so that he can declare the game won by him, and take control over the world.
    Persona 4 really doesn't have an excuse though, unless Izanami is arbitrarily deciding that Yu lost the game if hje dies and taking his soul to Yomi? Maybe, but that feels slightly less...clear.

    While we are talking about Morgana, He seems capable of entering and exiting metaverse on his own, as shown with Kamoshida and Okumura's pallice. So then why on earth do the PT need the complicated keywords if Morgana can straight up take them into the palice by possibly holding onto them, does this mean Morgana literelly kidnapped Haru and drag her to her father's pallice?
