    In that trailer, the Japanese text basically was Morgana saying, "it looks like we'll have to do something else to move the jaw" and Joker's options are "kick the jaw" or "leave it alone"
    I guess they just cut out this mini puzzle because it didnt really add anything to the gameplay.

    I'll be honest, Shido IS my favorite palace at least as of my last run (every palace after Sae's is fantastic). The rat puzzles didn't bother me as much as they did others. It just felt satisfying, uncovering all the cogs of Shido's conspiracy all the while giving each member of the Phantom Thieves their moment to shine. The game also has one of my favorite boss fight capped off with a 1v1 with the man who ruined Joker's life. My only real complaint is that it's too long but if too much of a good thing is my only problem, I'd say it's a damn good palace

      You make a good argument! Never considered its appeal from a lore perspective. I agree that it should be a bit shorter though. :)

      ​@RPGchallengeruns yeah it's the palace of THE guy responsible for why everything wrong has happened. He is responsible for the death of futaba's mother, the mental shutdowns, and why you are in probation to begin with. As a villain in general he was kinda mid(no real flair or interesting motive which maruki kimda makes up for), but he is still the culmination of most of your game till that point.

    Thumbs up earned solely because you actually made (er, are making) a complete correct guide to the game in the process of this run. It's amazing how in recent years the manipulation of search engine optimization has actually made correct information on video games (well, any topic really) super difficult, as all of the top results are invariably early-made guides with either little actual value, or outright wrong information because all they cared about was getting page clicks.

    • @RPGchallengeruns
      @RPGchallengeruns  Рік тому +13

      You said it much better than I could! And yep, so many of those websites aren't even written by fans. Sometimes they're made by people who have only played the game once.
      I'd rather take my time and create a proper comprehensive guide that is tried and tested by multiple players multiple times.
      Cheers for the "like"! :)

      @@RPGchallengeruns I've been playing Fire Emblem Engage and looking up any in-game info on it as I go through the runs is a nightmare. The thing is, I know good informative sites exist for it, but they just don't show up on Google. Instead I get shitty results from the same 6 sites that don't tell me anything relevant.
      It's frustrating, but as long as people like you care enough about games like this to compile information in an accurate and sensible way, and people spread the knowledge about these databases, things'll turn out alright.

    a challenge run idea has been on my mind for a bit, an “opposite” run where each party member uses skills they were not designed for at all (which would only be possible in p5r specifically, with the jazz club and prison battle rewards). like Ryuji with Spell Master and Ann with Arms Master and Joker playing completely as support and Morgana not being able to use a single healing spell, stuff like that

    Another tough one, but a heck of a lot of fun! Is there anything we could have done differently? 🤔
    The Final Fantasy challenge run videos have EXPLODED over the past couple of weeks, so I think that's a good sign to start diversifying the content more. I'm not saying we're leaving Persona behind, but I think it would be nice to see a wider range of JRPGs. Just let me know what you want to see! I'm trying to read & respond to as many comments as I can!
    (Oh and I turned down the background music a bit because people were asking for that. It's still a bit loud in the first couple of palaces to build up the hype, but it gets quieter later in the video).

    Futaba’s Palace is probably my favorite, closely followed by SPOILERS dungeon in the second semester. I just enjoy the palaces where the big bad shadow or whoever is in charge isn’t a jerk or makes you question if you are doing the right thing ya know? If you do other games, I would love to see a dragon quest 11 run sometime! I would suggest all draconian challenges but that’s kinda been done to death, so instead I believe you can set your allies to AI control, so see if it’s possible to beat the game P3FES style without the hero lifting a finger.

    As hard as it would be I am curious on how hard (if even possible) a hard solo challenge run would be. I mean in the end if you just cheese with instakill and stamps everything is possible but lemme explain. The issue here is that merciless is way easier than hard, since although damage numbers are suposedly harsher it's balanced by a crazy weak/crit multiplier, making you able to pull off damage numbers unseen at any point in a hard run. Heck, I only played through royale once but I HAD to switch from hard to merciless on Okumura because I couldn't deal with his goons and it made the fight a complete joke. I would be very interested in seeing such an idea for a run in hard mode, or maybe just solo joker but hard mode. It would make a lot of stuff way harder (like for example that double crit on yusuke's intro fight is not getting you out of jail this time.) Consider it next time you tackle Persona 5, although I understand if you get a bit burnt out of it, digging a bunch of your content although I do favour games I already have at least decent knowledge on, but I'm digging it!

    • @RPGchallengeruns
      @RPGchallengeruns  Рік тому +2

      You're totally right, I think Hard would very likely be more difficult than Merciless (for most bosses anyway)! I'll definitely be doing more Persona content soon so stay tuned. 😀

    I personally wish you would get the persona to level 99 before using gallows to max their stats. I would rather see how much of the game can be beaten with the stats inherent to the persona and having more effort put into skill management, instead of the middle to late section of the game mostly being a joke because you maxed the persona the instant you could.
    I don't mind maxing the stats when it's necessary to beat the bosses, but give stuff a try before doing that.
    I still love these vids. Good job mate

    Hey - back watching your old stuff - didn't see a comment about it, but 33:04 - it's pronounced "lay-ev-uh-teen" - the significance of the name is because you're fighting the loki phase of Akechi and in Norse mythology "Lævateinn" is the name of a weapon that was crafted by Loki himself.
    Doubt you care, but like I said, didn't see anything in the comments, so figured i'd try to help.
    EDIT: if you hold the ALT key on your keyboard and press 0 2 3 0 then let go of ALT, you'll do the character for the "ae" or "ash" character like so: æ

    I dont mind Shido's Palace, but I have a personal vendetta against it because it was at that time that my PC began absolutely shitting itself with framerate drops. Ever since Shido's palace, the game became close to fucking unplayable, and Im not sure if my computer is showing its age, or if the PC version is badly optimised. Also at 31:02 Nijima normally picks an element one of your part is weak to, but because you have no weakness, she picks completely randomly. Aleo, Punishing Hail cant freeze to my knowledge, Im fairly certain none of her elemental roulette attacks can inflict status.
