Same as Xenoblade 2. People like to dog on the blade system but it's designed in a way so that everyone who plays has a different combat experience starting (due to pool tables) and the randomness of blades later on dictates how you approach certain tasks or what to focus on. It's not for everyone but it does have it's good qualities.

@@Hephaestus_God the problem people have with the blade system is that it's a gacha, and people don't like gachas in their $60 RPG. Generally people are gonna end up using the guaranteed blades on most of the party members anyways- Rex has Pyra, Roc, and Nia, Nia has Dromarch, Morag has Brighid and Aegaeon, and Zeke has Pandoria, along with pulling Wulfric guaranteed. The main problem I have with the system is that there's no way to guarantee Rare Blades, so even if you're able to grind out rare crystals you can't guarantee getting the actual cool Blades that you want to use. There's a limit to how much RNG that people will accept in video games- gacha games operate on exploiting people whose limit is higher and will put up with bad RNG for the rush of getting what they want. In Xenoblade 2's Blade system, there's no return like that for the developers, and the only result is forcing players to play the lottery in hopes they can get what they want, which is highly unreasonable considering it's a core mechanic. I'm not saying it can't have any RNG, I'm just saying the RNG is too heavy. Rare core crystals for example should have at least a 50% chance of offering a Rare Blade, regardless of the available pool of Rare Blades left, and the Booster items, if you use 5 of them at once, should 100% guarantee you get a Blade of one of the 2 corresponding elements. It would still allow for a unique experience while streamlining the process of grinding for completion for people who've already finished the game.

@@DeathGodRiku A complete Persona 5 save file.

So were we the ones who changed his heart?

You mean *Shadow* right?

No he's good aligned

@Rotom Channel probably lawful good given his disceplin but in this case he inched closer to neutral good. Since he broke his law of 'always complete everything'. Or maybe he's more lawful Good rather than Lawful good.

Truly. I think us fans will always check out the videos no matter how long they take.

Don't take too much time otherwise that's procrastination

What he did would be the equivalent of saying I can't complete pokemon until I catch every variety including shinies, so clearly he can set realistic goals, except here he went bonkers. Surprised me it took 5 playthroughs before he realize this wasn't feasible. If he had the mentality to get that far he should have finished it, he was 1/2 way there.

I'm confused explain please

@@tms.tbager1663 The idea is that each datable confidant gives the prompt to date at a specific rank (9 usually), so if all datable confidants are at rank 8 in the last month of the game, Jirard could theoretically max out whoever he wants to date for the last in game month, get the official date item from them, then reload the save, and max someone else out, and only have to play that 1 in game month 10 times, rather than a new playthrough 10 times. Or something along those lines.

@@Team_225 except that he won't keep the item, because you're reloading a save, "completion" means new game + consecutively saving on one save file, having everything on one save file

Hi I’m Jirard, The Partialist. The Finishist. The Epic Gamer. Any of these are acceptable, I like The Finishist, where he does exactly what you’re suggesting

I was thinking the same thing. If Jirard ever feels like playing Royal, I’d love to hear his impressions, or just a “finished it” review. Not to complete the game again, though...

@@jesusplacencia781 I platinum'd Persona 5 and Imma do it again on Royal, lol. That's how much I like this game. Also the trophy list seems much easier this time around.

It could be a good replacement for games that are just too much to complete down the line when NG+ is finally done. Assuming he doesn't revisit more games for NG+ and keep it going that is.

Oh don't worry. I have over 300 hours in FE 3 houses. I've gotten every song, every cutscene, and every route completed.

He’s the completionist it’s all or nothing

There's the in game completion thing too, the awards that's probably all that's needed no?

Royal is easier to 100%, the Thieves Den tracks progress across all saves so you can save scum for the romance/confidant awards and stuff like fishing, reading books and going to the maid cafe.

I mean i agree especially since it's essentially a remake/final mix version not a full blown "sequel" like P6 would be if it existed

There's a ton of Thieves' Den reward which, luckily, aren't required for platinum, but whenever Jirard gets around to Royal, hopefully, he doesn't try to get every one. Luckily, they carry over throughout saves.

Especially in Persona 3, where you have no choice but to romance all the girls.

Ive played through the game 5 times; 4 through base P5 and once through P5R. I can not imagine doing it 7 more times. I need 3 more trophies for Royal, and I’m going to get them then put the game down, as i don’t need another 120 hours in the game. I already have 500.

I've played it 7 times thus far. 5 from Vanilla and 2 from Royal (1 in Japanese last year, 1 in English this year), but I guess it's because of my extreme love for P5 that 7 times feels like nothing and I'm ready. lol Only reason I'm not starting a 8th playthrough is because I'm replaying the sequel P5 Scramble for the second time and replaying other Persona games again (feels good to be back in Inaba in P4G!)

I feel it as of late. I did seven playthroughs for P5, in the middle of the eighth. And Royal once, at the same point as P5 for the second playthrough. I love this game to death and did nothing but play it for six weeks when I got into the series, but at this point in time, it feels more like a dredge to try and play through either game once more.
