I'm actually really enjoying the overhauled storyline and NPC characters, my personal favorite of which would probably be Brad's whole new character motivation and the updated sidequest for his calling card. Makes him feel a helluva lot more grounded and nuanced as a character that way, whereas before he felt kinda flat and one-dimensional.

Kyoko's story seems to have also been tweaked, but it's not as drastic of a change. I dont know if I like the sedentary village doctor version more or less than the constantly moving rookie adventurer version, but her mental health advice and words of encouragement still remain top tier either way. Kyoko still remains my absolute favorite NPC in this whole game, alongside Mayor Monty and Tutorial Terry (who have also been tweaked a little, but are mostly left unchanged in their personalities)

Meanwhile, probably the *least* fun (but still understandable and fairly grounded) change was given to the second half of Demo 3, where the antagonists were now genuinely focused around the player character, and not just generally acting their concepts out. Wish they had at least some of their previous personalities back from before the update, but I'm not too sad about the changes tbh. The one I'm most annoyed with is probably the final boss of Demo 3. It has only a fraction of its former aura of terror in its personality now, and I feel like it seriously needs a hefty chunk of that sheer hatred added back into it. They removed that one final line before the bossfight starts, too! It was genuinely goated and thematically perfect, but it's no longer there ;-;

I became hopelessly addicted to the SP Saver card, despite its high BP cost. If I drop it at this point, I think I'd straight up cripple my whole playstyle now lol. I also have come to appreciate the Defend+ card. It has come in clutch many times now

Got a decent amount of badges that I previously didn't unlock in my first save file, including the Alternate Reality badge and Pretty Fire badge. TBH at this point I think my current save file is a fair bit further ahead than my original file in terms of progression and completionism.

Would Eggman from the Sonic franchise be able to defeat the true form of Nyx from Persona 3? Since, y'know, he kinda has a moon-destroying orbital laser cannon just casually hanging around in his arsenal? What if he went even higher, and pissed on the moon Nyx Herself? What about the moon from Majora's Mask? He could probably turn that spooky rock into chunks of space dust with a sneeze or something. This also begs the question of just how suited he would be as a Persona character or as a Legend Of Zelda character. How would his moon-pissing technology translate to other settings where assorted stellar objects arrive to menace the populace? Actually, how would ALL of his technology and knowledge measure up to the Persona series? How would all of the living robots and stuff he created work if they all got plopped into the world of Persona for whatever reason? Would Metal Sonic be able to create a Persona of his own? Sophie from P5 Strikers did it by initially mimicking the Phantom Thieves, and then evolved it into an actual Persona of her own much later, so I think Metal Sonic might be able to do something similar, especially with his superior copying capabilities. Not to mention the already existing sapient technology and robots in the setting, like Aigis, Labrys, and EMMA, who was able to gain massive divine power through sheer cognition. Imagine what Eggman and his crew could pull off if they find out about the Metaverse and its effects in the Persona universe... Sonic already knows about Joker of the Phantom Thieves from both Smash and Crossworlds racing, so the concept of Personas is probably not too out there for him, but damn if he isn't gonna make an utterly wild Persona protagonist himself if he ever needs to obtain one for whatever reason...

I could probably think of other thoughts to put here, but it's really goddamn late at night for me rn, i'm hungry and tired and wanna grab a meal and end this post already :/

And my stupid idiot brain instantly blurted out, "THE MOONBEAR???"

And she smoothly responded back with a solemn shake of her head and a deadpan "He's dead."
