FUCKEN JANOSIK/HARNAŚ GAKUPO

I know it's already been two months since chapter 5 released, but honestly it still feels like a freakin' fever dream come true! I loved it! it makes me satisfied to know all the theories I posted on this site in the past about Aran and her sister have been right on the money right from the start. I definitely LOVE how they not made Ms. Katayama a proper collaborator and confidant to the PTs of Hopes, but also have the chapter actually show her progress in investigating Magatsukami on the team's behalf. I sure hope she'll be able share what she found with them in chapter 6 later this year. Yuzuru Haigamine .... there's definitely some connection between her and the Hirano sisters; my money's betting on her being Airi's childhood best friend and by extention Aran. After seeing them enter the Metaverse via the Shibuya Station, will she be friend or foe? I sure hope it's the former.

I know this is probably just copium-fueled wishful thinking on my end at this point, but I have a gut feeling we may get one more female story thief next April for the 3rd year anniversary next year. how could I be sure of that, you ask? because of two things: first, the story thieves' Unbound Desire Forms combat roles, and second, Mementos. As we all know, their Unbound Desire roles are unique for each member: Assassin for Radiant Closer, Guardian for Ricochet Soy, Strategist for Tempest Riko, ad Sweeper Nocturnal Luce, with my theory being Unbound Wonder will be Virtuoso, Unbound Cattle will be Medic, and Unbound Anri will be Elucidator, leaving only Saboteur left, which would only be filled in by a possible future 8th member, plus I theorize their regular role would be Assassin since while Janosik is considered and Assassin Persona, Wonder is still a Wild Card meaning he's not technically tied down to any one role. As for Mementos, it's been established that aside from the Depths and Da'at there are 8 total paths pre-Third Semester. And I believe it's the same for here in P5X as when phase 1 of Chapter 4 released in the US and I played it, I looked at the overall map of Mementos after the 4th path was unlocked and noticed that asied from the 4 open ones there were 4 other areas that were comepletely blacked out with a question mark on them, while later on I saw a YouTube walkthrough of the Chinese version showing that the 5th Path Akzeriyyuth opened up in Chapter 5 ( reducing it to 3 paths left unopened) but noticed that as of this moment it had only one floor, and it wasn't even a border floor like the others! This leads me to conclude that a. we'll be exploring more of Path #5 in Chapter 6, and b. when Chapter 7 comes around that's when Path #6 and ergo 8th Story Thief will appear as c. I believe Path #7 will be when we deal directly with Magatsukami himself. Fingers crossed I'm right.

I saw the post where OP asked if the people the Phantom Idols were based on awoken to real Personas what would they be, and I'm here to tell you after 2 months of extensive researching I may be to help you with suggestions for each one, though I must tell you right off the bat that I believe their appearances are exactly the same as Persona Duos because their Greek names are just placeholders for real names, and that I feel Kiskil-Lilla should remain the same .

Please respond as soon as you are able and let me know what you think so far of all this so I can also list down all the real Personas that I've researched so far, if you would permit me to, of course. 😅

Haha, don't worry, I prefer one long ask to a flood of short asks! It's easier to tag and manage. That said, this ask is already long, so I'm going to put the rest of my response under a cut to keep this from getting longer!

Based on the popular 17-18th century Slovak highlander rogue Juraj Jánošík and the legends that rose around him, Janosik is a 100% free platformer that features simple 2D visuals that won't melt your laptop, and a simple premise - you jump around, avoid moving weapons on the walls, and attack soldiers, guards, archers, hooded individuals with fire powers, dogs, snakes, spiders, skeletons, cursed skeletons etc. while you free your rogue buddies from prison. Simple doesn't mean easy though! The game gets progressively more challenging with new enemies but also new abilities to unlock (yes, they have double jump), and the boss fights are especially tough. There is no "game over" here, if you die you just respawn at the last save point.

I'm not much of a gamer but this game brings me a lot of satisfaction. Maybe it's the nostalgia for the old games I was playing in my early childhood, or maybe I just like games that manage to be challenging without becoming overwhelming.
