Alternative title: Persona 5 Royal, but I hate myself.

​@WhyNotWaitHere Alternate, Alternate title. I have no idea what i am doing in this game.

@@WhyNotWaitHereNot really. This is just mostly playing like a real gamer, items out of battle are totally legit. Most people are just so jaded they find the idea of using their imagination to amp up the drama of the story. Games are supposed to be about grinding, games are supposed to embrace escapism not be burnt though in 30 hours

@@gaberobison680 with all due respect because I do not personally know you. This is a flawed stance. Games are meant to be fun, and that fun is what feeds into the escapism someone experiences. If grinding is fun for you, then you will enjoy that aspect of a game or playstyle. Whereas someone who doesn’t invest as much time into gaming but still enjoys a few hours on the weekend may want an easier approach. Or someone rather enjoys the narrative but finds the mechanics to be overwhelming, and can’t be asked to spike their difficulty. The notion that in order to be a “real gamer” you have to make gaming less fun for yourself is wrong. I personally enjoy a good challenge but I don’t believe in pushing that onto others

​@@gaberobison680brother what is you talking about lmao. "Real gamer" i bet you play CoD and think camping in a corner with a riot shield and shotgun is and say it's skill lol.

Knew I’d find you here

I seriously doubt it. If the game doesn't challenge you on harder difficulty, it defeats the purpose of that difficulty. They have found a nice difficulty curve in original P3 and P4 and started adding mechanics to that curve without balancing around them.

@@pmintertek Well...... I can't exactly say either persona 3 or 4 are a good difficulty curve in any way either. Yes persona 5 royal is easy as sin, but persona 3's most challenging points are minibosses who have excessive mechanics that are just irritating to deal with and not exactly fun (also I played it on the portable version with direct control because not controlling the party members was just irritating). The major bosses were all very easy Persona 4 has the least creatively interesting bosses of the three games. The last 4 ish maybe 5 felt almost exactly the same to fight and not very difficult to deal with. Just all magic type skills and almighty special attacks with negligible mechanics. This made fighting them feel repetitive Persona 5 is easy, but the bosses all felt like they had interesting variety (kinda like P3). This may be from baton pass, because I feel like that mechanic alone makes the encounters feel more interactive The issue with the big three persona games is that they give all the strengths to a main character who gets overpowered fast. Past the first or second dungeon the MC will have several very strong multi element covering personas and buffing skills and then the game is over other than dying to enemies that you don't know the weaknesses of (or in persona 3's case instant kills skills not fucking working on dark and light weak enemies)

@@AdjustedDisparityin p3p you either one shot every normal enemy and tank the bosses for 30min without any concern of losing, or you TPK to a random mob

@@AverageEggmonEnthusiast Yea that is 100% true. Did I think that was satisfying, no not really lol

Bro...

Useless...?

USELESS?!

Using only morgana and joker

@@luissaumeth8000 how abt joker and ryuji only (literally no healer until you get a healing persona apart from medicines)

@@Hymn_ even worse joker and ryuji only, no healer personas, only items that recover 20 hp

@@luissaumeth8000 and joker has to constantly heal 24/7 after he got a healer persona

No SP use

Persona games are as easy as you want them to be, which is something I really like about them.

​​@@bireland2012I grinded to level 60 at Rise's dungeon because I thought I was underleveled and because shuffle time is a fun system imo. Turns out I was 30 levels above the Shadow Teddie boss

Honestly, I love the difficulty, it let me experiment and screw up and make janky builds, so when I go play the other SMT/Persona games I know what I'm doing. (Not to mention, I loved the theme of rebelling against society, even if it could've been handled a little better)

With Mara, anything's possible

This reminds me of a similar challenge where a guy did a challenge where Joker did absolutely nothing. All his allies were set to auto and did what they could

u right :0

cry?

Blud cheated

Yeah I noticed that too. I’m not really upset about it, but it did break the rules of the challenge

Tbh this makes perfect sense since Sae believes that cheating is ok

Facts Shiki Ouji owns her.. figured the same in a solo run yesterday

The first time I went against Sae, Haru had a physical reflect wall up on everyone, and when it hit almighty she used a full party physical attack and one shot herself lol

Now there needs to be a Confidant-less run added onto this.

​@nameynamd9212 still need certain confidants like Maruki to get the Royal ending. But beyond that, I'd love to see a no-confidant run

Doing the same thing right now but in Persona 4 Golden!

@@Stag_Z Good luck my guy

Haha I never use them either other than for the twins

I used to play games like that but I realized that most of the time, it's useless but when you get things, you get like the best stuff in the game

Yep, you're right. I don't mind that he uses showtimes, but don't lie about it lmao. He used one again at 1:42:46

Didn’t even notice that, wow 😭😭

@@username15thmy issue is if he is lying about showtimes then there could be other rules he broke without telling us. Makes me think how “authentic” this run actually is.

@@robertmccormack1274 im sure with how long it took he just forgot about the showtime rule

What do you mean? That was perfect

What do you mean it was spot on

DaVince Resolve is free and what a lot of people use. I use Adobe Premiere which is part of the Adobe CC

Assuming you get an Ambush, you get the exact same amount of All-Out Attacks, since each party member will still move before the first enemy turn.

@@furiouscorgi6614 yeah, so it makes ambushing way more desirable since now you are guaranteed to have the initiative, because if you forego the baton pass not getting an ambush means you are most definitely gonna get hit, which means there's a constant drain of your resources, pushing you to make more intelligent decisions in battles

@makiiavely there's already a constant drain on resources, only it's SP and not HP. Otherwise, you can traverse way too much through hiding spots, which guarantee ambushes. And the Grappling Hook upgrade from Yoshizawa rank 5, which gives ambushes from range when not hiding. Even with Shift and Baton Pass, I'm still going to go for ambushes anyway.

the last baton pass / 4th baton pass will give a party member to use any skill with no SP or HP cost

​@@bayuaji9019 didn't know that, thanks!

I don't know if it's a joke but that is not how you pronounce their names. Not sure who told him to say it that way but they lied to him.

time stamp?

Merciless difficulty triples the damage of Technical damage, which applies to both the party, and the enemy, IIRC.

In specifically Persona 5 (and Royal), Merciless buffs the damage of Weakness hits, Critical hits, and Technical hits significantly. Imo, it still mostly makes the game harder because bosses don't have weaknesses, are (mostly) status immune, and are crit immune

Then you better check my channel and head back a couple of videos
