#he gets on great with ruby

i've been doing a bunch of tartarus runs in reload lately, and it got me thinking about how i miss certain ways FES's clunky gameplay can characterize minato… (ramble about the great clock mechanic + leveling up party members in reload vs fes under the cut)
when i got to yabbashah block in tartarus (block 3), i remember commending the developers for adding the great clock mechanic. it's a much more convenient way to keep party members at the protagonist's level- so when you think about p3 from the perspective of trying to make it easier for people to play, the mechanic succeeds in this respect.
but now that i'm in adamah block, and that i've done lots of my once-a-month tartarus runs… i think that i got a little too dependent on it, and the way that i played through reload feels like a vastly different experience from how i played FES.
in reload, my party's levels are very lopsided. minato, yukari, akihiko, mitsuru, and fuuka are all level 90+, meanwhile junpei and aigis are at level 79, and then… poor ken and koromaru are at 71 and 64 respectively. (i never got to have a great clock for them…)
meanwhile, in FES, my party's levels were much more evenly distributed and were at least level 90. i did all of this manually for every monthly tartarus run because i enjoyed having options available for the taratarus guardians and monthly operations.
with how i perceive minato, i feel that the way i played FES feels more in-line with his character than me dawdling around waiting for the great clocks in reload.
FES's gameplay loop left me with the very strong impression that minato has to work twice as hard as everyone else in SEES does. it makes sense because, yeah, he's the leader, but something about having minato run through tartarus multiple times with different groups of people just to make sure that they are adequately prepared speaks volumes about his character, to me.
and while the tired mechanic is present in reload to some degree, most notably with allowing you to freely raise your courage stat when you visit edogawa after school… the tiredness system doesn't hit the same way that FES does, i think.
the way your party members in FES will call it quits when they return to the entrance floor at tartarus when they're tired, versus minato, in spite of all his tiredness and sickness, still pushes through tartarus because it's his responsibility…. idk!!! i miss that! i feel like this really hammers home the difference between minato and the rest of SEES, how minato doesn't really see himself as a human with needs worth respecting as long as he's useful to someone.
i don't think that tartarus being tedious (in FES especially) is not what most people would describe as fun, and i can respect people thinking it's a slog. but, regardless of how it feels to play, it doesn't change that FES's gameplay loop is a fundamental building block in how i perceive minato…
of course, i do recognize that you can just opt to NOT use the great clock in reload (and it's great when players are offered the choice to not partake in mechanics)! i definitely think that if someone really wanted to, they could manually level up party members, but i do feel that kind of playstyle isn't necessarily "incentivized" to the type of people who are into playing games for Having a Good Time. it's kind of like… "why would you do that when there's a much more convenient option available to you."
in any case! despite my woes, i do want to emphasize that i'm glad that reload has a much more smoother gameplay loop than the original P3 did, because it does make the game more accessible to people. having played both FES and reload, it feels very strongly apparent to me how the core gameplay formula of persona has really been refined in the past 18 years (to think og p3 was 2006 and reload is 2024.. time flies!). and reload has made revisiting a story that i love so dearly much, much easier because the gameplay just bops!
at the same time, due to my "i miss characterization informed by weird and dated FES gameplay quirks" woes, i still think that playing FES is worthwhile. (really, i feel this way about all iterations of p3! i think it's worthwhile to see what each version and side media has to say even if it doesn't Land™ for you.) but i also understand why people wouldn't want to play it, so i will keep writing posts about things i liked from FES's gameplay because i'm still very fond of FES (especially in respects to minato. these mechanics are so telling about him!!!) 💪

sorry i just dont trust RTD to do this right after martha and mickey and the first episode of the sarah jane adventures with kelsey hooper and etc etc etc. like he comes back and for. the SECOND time. names a black companion after rose. like he already did that exact same thing with rosita from the next doctor. and he comes back and does it AGAIN???? and then writes a christmas special that is just straight up blood libel. i am not about to trust this particular cis white man to do a black doctor and a black trans character right.

Excuse me, ma'am, may I take the time of day to provide to you thoughts of hopeless young and in love Oscar Pine witnessing for the first time the sight of Ruby Rose in a lovely ponytail?
If hearts could flutter, his would be flying beyond the galaxy.
omg I forgot to answer this
There is something very magical about the idea of Mistral Farm Boy Oscar getting all blushy and shy because Ruby's hair is pulled up 😳 and Oh, he doesn't think he's ever seen the back of her neck before. and wow that's a weird thought aha why did he have that hahaha 💦 at least this way he can see her pretty eyes better since some of the hair is out of her face and- don't think about how pretty Ruby is, don't think about how pretty Ruby is, don't think- 😳😳😳😳
The sequel to "combat gear looks good" can go so many different ways. I think it'd be cute if Oscar blushed with his ears about it tho ehe

Pathi's Note: Reading through your tags, I have to agree. Ruby has ALL the rights to be mad, but let's not pretend that these stans aren't the same ones who would dick ride Jaune and possibly have a stigma against any mental disorder symptoms that aren't "pretty" enough for them.
You know what? No, I know that they do, because they have treated literally every other character with trauma except from Blake like shit, and she's only an exception because in their eyes, "she's victim enough".
Having trauma or any other mental disability isn't always "pretty" to watch; it's rough, explosive, harsh, and any other "ugly" words you want to use because it's not supposed to be pretty. A person with any mental disorder DOES NOT need to act a certain way for anyone to take their diagnosis seriously and without stigma. A person with trauma is STILL a person with trauma, even when they snapped at someone.
You can judge the action, this is not me saying that having mental disorders excuse you from acting cruel to others. But Ruby is entitled to feel the way she feels about Penny and about Jaune, and she shouldn't be crucified for that especially when her reasons are more than valid.
#submission#hanashi0n#ruby deserved better#penny deserved better#I can't help but wonder#Are you lazy or afraid?#Are you afraid of having Jaune *gasp* facing consequences of his actions?#afraid of real long lasting conflict?#Are you afraid of the effort of writing a realistic response to trauma?#Are you afraid of how “unpretty” it can look?#God forbid Ruby isn't an innocent all-forgiving ray of sunshine paragon of goodness but a complex character#God forbid she changes#God forbid she looks talks and treats him differently#God forbid she shoves him against the wall and yells at him the way he was allowed to#God forbid the narrative doesn't kiss Jaune's ass#That'd be a cost too great wouldn't it Miles#seriously the healthiest way to react to this is to get angry#Not challenging Jaune and not writing people emote differently to his decisions isn't good for his character either by the way#I don't reckon Ruby would be the only one to be “not ok” to him killing Penny and instantly get over it#In all fairness Ruby would also be projecting her anger and self-hatred at Jaune imo#Because she knows that she also had a hand in Penny's death#Jaune killed Penny but she too created the circumstances that led to her death#if he was allowed to snap and victim blame her for things that were not her fault at all and were also HIS fault#she should have this luxury too#I'm sorry for ranting but Eddy's comment about Ruby and the fans eating that up just turns me rabid even months later#God I've never seen a series that fumbles at the BASICS of good writing so fucking much#rwde#rwby critical#fndm critical#ruby rose critical

Alright we're gonna do a fun social experiment today. Every time I think about Cortex, I'm gonna self reblog this post. If it was an actually coherent thought then I'll put that in the tags. Although I'll be in airplane mode for my flights today, I'll put any thoughts in my notes and then come back to this post once I'm on the ground.
Let's see how many times this gets reblogged today 💀

This is a bit petty, but the only guy I've ever truly let myself like used to compare me to characters in a way that felt wrong. It wasn't that the characters were an insult or that there was anything wrong with them, it was that I didn't relate to them and it felt like he didn't actually know me.
Now there's Karlach. I've pretty much said some of her dialogue word for word before. The conversation where she tells Astarion she's proud of him? I've basically had that conversation with that guy.
She's playful and carefree in a way that doesn't come off as childish. She's a badass warrior and everyone knows it. She'll do a silly dance and then crush her enemies.
I feel a little vindicated, knowing that if he's still into videogames--he's the one who introduced me to Dragon Age, he's why I'm here, this game is so directly up his alley it has his house number on it--there's basically no way he can look at Karlach without being reminded of me.
#these characters are so relatable and i am so grateful#he compared me to tali. ruby rose. merrill from dragon age.#i don't have an issue with any of them but i don't see myself in them#i see myself in yang. maybe a bit in fenris?#da2 is one of my faves but i connect less with the characters#i can see it more now but. it felt like he was reminded of me when he saw characters who got flustered easily and acted childish#and that didn't make me feel good about myself#karlach also gets flustered but she's more well rounded#idk! i just. I'm even the older sister. i struggle with the same things yang does. and I'm. ruby? to him? really?#in order of relatability the rwby cast goes: yang blake weiss ruby#They're all good and i do relate to all of them but. I'm yang the most i think.#except i hide it so i come off like blake#and i have similar feelings as weiss does towards her family#and ruby is great! i love her!#this was also during the earlier seasons#it was just like. you see me as a kid huh.#fair. also hurtful.#anyway he might also see me in shadowheart and I'm only a tiny small bit less enthused about that#honestly i need to learn more about these characters. I've been hyperfocusing on astarion.#but i see myself in all of them#laezel's experience with her faith is probably... basically the same as my own#i never want to beg someone to see their worth again. I'm sorry if that makes me a shitty friend.#...*shoves love of astarion behind my back* not now.#(i have screamed at astarion in my mind)#anyway.#personal

man. my lyney just dropped 70k on his skill. i think that's the highest skill pop i've ever had on record
#⇢₊˚⊹ 🩷∥ruby∥yo,ide yo !!#i think it was max stacks but can't be sure#also for some reason i'm way more proud of my song of stillness on main than my first great magic on the alt#maybe it's because i worked so hard to get the stuff to forge it. and i visibly saw results after equipping it on him#while on the alt,even though he has 4pc marechaussee and his sig,his damage is still just passable at best#my alt is just really bad honestly#i'm seeing hope because i got him to drop 44k today while i was farming resistance books for benny boi#but yeah. basically everyone's artifacts REALLY need work#aside from that though#i'm almost ashamed of the first great magic i have equipped on lyney#even though i literally got it from grinding my ass off for freemos,it still feels almost unfair that i have it#it feels almost cheat-y that i have his bis. even though it literally isn't#the fact that a 100% f2p lyney (i.e. my main account) still outdamages a lyney with his bis set and bis weapon is a bit of bitter irony tho#maybe this is me realizing that i'd rather not whale for weapons actually#even if i did have that kind of money#i want to see how far an r5 song of stillness lyney can go#i might still not be above whaling to c6 him tho#which is kind of ironic cuz like. if i'm dropping enough money to get him to c6 then why not get at least one copy of his sig,right?#i don't really have an explanation tbh. i guess i just don't feel like pulling for his weapon. he already feels strong enough without it#i would still whale for a weapon for chongyun though#i think the difference is that he's a 4 star. and he needs all the help he can possibly get in the damage department#i want my chongyun to drop casual 100k's too ;-;#and then i could give dehya the wgs that he currently has to boost lyney's damage even further#anyway i got enough books to crown both bennett and kazuha on the alt#now all i need are treasure hoarder drops and mora

Needed to listen to some music while I did the dishes and for some reason picked “von” from the zankyou no terror soundtrack and jesus god. Experiencing emotions that don’t exist.
#meg talks#i don’t think i ever rewatched znt#i watched it back in like 2014 or 2015 the one time and the ending made me so sad i never revisited it#but god. i went back and watched the ferris wheel scene just now and it’s such a great scene on its own#but von just Makes It u know. yoko kanno you never fucking miss#i need to rewatch it just for the music. god.#but anyway i don’t think i rlly appreciated the ferris wheel scene as a youngun#i mean i must have to some degree bc it’s like the only scene from the whole show that i remember lmfao#but watching it this time… god… ‘’you don’t have to apologize anymore. it’s not your fault.’’#and the quiet way he just goes to work even tho he knows it won’t change anything… the love in that…#and how lisa’s fear just vanishes when she realizes what it means that someone loves her enough to die for her and doesn’t even blame her…#like just hearing that and feeling loved so completely made her no longer afraid to die bc it was all she ever wanted. god. jesus fucking ch#anyway it gave me some evil ideas about cunoesse and ruby of all things. no i won’t elaborate bc the context is all in my brain#but like imagine i wrote a sweeping epic about ruby klaasje and cunoesse all on the lam#and it was awesome and sad.#idk maybe if anyone wants to hear me word vomit in dms or smth i will but it’s too embarrassing to try to explain LDKSHSGDJ#anyway. the dishes did get done in case u were wondering. just very somberly

drama and phys instrument: let's not arrest klaasje she looks so scared. it would be horrible let's just leave and stop pushing her
then a volition check lets you basically slap "sense" into drama and it changes its mind immediately, that klaasje should be arrested. and going down all the dialogue chains shifts the mood of talking to klaasje- where she told you mixed lies, suddenly harry is pushing the point that the police call was fake, with drama goading you on despite the other voices chiming in with the fact the evidence does line up that she made the call...
they frame it as klaasje fucking with the int. side of harry's skills and volition says they (logic, rhetoric, especially drama) are not to be trusted, and when the seed of doubt is planted suddenly all your dialogue choices become "she lied about this specific thing that i corroborated with kim over being true, regardless i will keep threatening arrest over this". drama even pushes that she lied about mundane shit like the beauty pageant.
Tumblr media
on the flip side, if you fail the volition check, drama stays adamant that you shouldn't pursue this. which, it isn't entirely wrong, she IS lying about things.
Tumblr media
but what is arresting her even going to help, or demanding her fear of your badge. your skills can be straight up wrong or misinterpreting the situation, but harry thinking he's correct leads to, for me, one of his worst displays of abusing his status as a cop. here's a woman you've cornered and you're punishing her for lying to you. arrest her for getting in the way. and kim is jingling the handcuffs the entire time he wants it too. how fucked!

Rupert Galvin is so. He talks about being too old for this and his monster fighting days being nearly over and how he won't be around forever. My guy you are like 45 not 80. I think Rupert has just already accepted that he's not going to die of old age and that he's only survived this far on sheer luck. His wife and his best friend/fighting partner both died in their 20s. Technically Mina died in her 20s too, she's just been undead for 125 years. From Rupert's perspective, he's already been living on borrowed time for the past two decades.
Rupert Galvin :( :( :(
