Ehh, PSO2 is pretty old at this point. Would've been nice to have five or six years ago but I doubt we're missing much these days. Personally it'd probably take more than Persona skins to get me reinstalling an MMO in 2017.

Just started working on Fortuna, so she's not that good right now. Also planning on replacing Silky with Lillith, Angel with Gabriel, and grabbing Cybele as my healer/buffer. Any sweet Ladysonas I missed? I know I haven't fused most of the really high level ones, so any favorites there. I know I initially said low level only, but I really just wanted a bad ass Pixie.

Titania is kind of a beast by default, it wouldn't be hard to make her an even bigger one. The Moire sisters are all pretty cool. I got a Cybele too and she's great.

My Pixie has over 70 mag. She's doing 600 points of damage without Concentrate. I should probably stop feeding her other personas at this point... *feeds Pixie more personas*

I could trade Fortuna for Titania. I'd definitely use her if I ever do my Fairy Brigade idea(Pixie, High Pixie, Hua Po, and Titania boosted to absurd levels).

Too late in the game to raise another Ladysona. I'm well into December and absolutely sick of grinding Mementos. Cybele's gonna have to sit on the sidelines for now. Good thing Pixie has 92 mag now...

Grinding in Mementos is suffering. I'm glad there's the option to pay for higher level personas because that's the only way I'm going to complete that compendium.

Yeah, but you gotta grind in Mementos to get the money...

I made about 500k in less than 30 minutes by confusing Mementos midbosses. Didn't even need to roll a high-luck/confusion specialist persona for it either, I just used Ann's Tentafaroo and went to the races. If all yer grinding for in Mementos is cash money you may as well just do that.

Eh, I'm in the final dungeon with only 4 or 5 pokesonas to complete my compendium. I ain't chuffed.

Oh yeah, that final dungeon (assuming you mean the final final dungeon/quick sprint up to the last boss) was actually pretty great for XP and cash come to think of it, assuming you don't rush too much and accidentally get smoked.

Speaking of cash though, I never noticed the big summer lottery thing that opens up in July. I was just buying scratchers all this time until I saw that. I wonder if it's scripted to always be a winner.

I think I own 100k on that? Not sure. Probably is always a winner, since it takes so long.

Oh, I didn't either... I'm in June in my replay so I'll try to remember this.

There'll be an announcement on TV one evening about it, but you can probably just go get your ticket if you miss it. It's handled by the clerk to the left of where you buy scratchers. I never thought to even check the other two windows on that little building so maybe they're always talking about it. Heh.

Beat it again last night. Ended up not finishing the compendium since I was ironically too high level to farm. Still, at 97%, I'm pretty sure I can finish it whenever I want to. Gonna give Innocent Sin another go now, since I never actually finished that one.

Holy crap, the nostalgia. I remember a lot of this from EP, right down to the janitor making out with his poster. Hopefully I can stick with it this time.

I never finished Innocent Sin either. I think I got as far as some kinda bomb scare. I'd be way more likely to play it again if it wasn't trapped on the PSP.

I should anyway. I got the Innocent Sin costume/music pack for P5 after all.

And the box of ropes and candles...

I also don't think I ever finished, though. Encounter rate is way too high and negotiations are tougher. I got to the end but wanted all the ultimate weapons, which relies on getting rumors out of random enemies, which took *way* too long. First you gotta get the right one to spawn in an area that has so many, then the negotiation has to go well, and then they *might* have the weapon rumor to give you. Ugh.

Yeah, I'm playing it on the VelVita. Also got it on easy mode. Just worried about the story, nothing else.

He gets better.

I was thinking of ways to improve P5 in a remake situation. So far:

1. The option to change the music in Mementos, ala Tartarus. It's weird that the specific dungeons all had at least 2 themes, but Mementos is like game-wide and is just an annoying short loop.

2. Varied navigator dialogue and/or repeated dialogue just not being triggered after already being triggered once in a battle. I don't need to hear, "bonafied Monafied!" or "wooo looking cool Joker!" 4 times in a row when using a single target spell to hit weaknesses.

3. I feel like too many links are automatic.

4. Morgana shouldn't make you go to bed early as much, especially when the big event is after school anyway. Akira is still waking up at the same time, so why can't he stay up like he can on a normal night?

5. Ryuji's insta-kill should allow for the option to receive the money and exp that would have normally been earned, rather than simply taking a random mask, especially if your persona stock is full. At least give people the choice of either the mask, exp, items, or money.

That's all for now. What do you guys think?
