I've made it to the final battle of Persona 3 Portable. We'll see how it goes - I only won the final battle of Persona 5 due to luck, and Persona 4's final battle was a marathon, but I got Orpheus Telos (the Persona that you unlock for maxing out all of the social links), Messiah, and a bunch of other high level Personas (and Pixie, who can cover every elemental weakness), so I might have over-prepared for this.

Good luck! The final boss notoriously can take a while so be sure to stock up on everything before going in.

One tip to be on the safe side: make sure your healer(s) is immune to charm.

I mean of course. Kids are definitely gonna eat it up being its especially Illumination and the fact Mario is to gaming what Mickey is to Disney.

Never once did I think this wasn't going to bomb.

I have a Route 1 group of my own to show off
Rhionea Route 1 Rodent.png

Based on the nutria

Rhionea Route 1 Bird.png

Based on parrakeets and macaws

Based on army ants

Rhionea Route 1 Dog.png

Based on the bush dog

At this point I'll reveal that this region is based on South America, and specifically Brazil. And I have quite a few ideas, though don't expect me to draw ALL of them

Nice! I forgot, did you post the starters?

I also have an early route dog despite my grass starter also being a dog, specifically a jackal, but I won't be posting it today since it has a counterpart that I want it to accompany

So um, here's what I've been doing.

Having seen what some of y'all have done and many YouTube videos, I've been toying with ideas for a Fakemon region (named the Rhionea region) of my own, but I absolutely s u c k at drawing.

But here's my starters, in any case. I have my Route 1 ideas ready too, but they don't look much good either lol. I have some other ideas as well, namely a fun new idea for a regional Ralts line variant, but I dread what Gardevoir would look like if I tried to draw it lmao

I'd go into more detail, but I don't want this post to be a million miles long lol

Thanks! I beat Persona 3 (barring a sudden last-second plot twist) - it helped that I had the ultimate weapons for the four party members that I used (the MC, Mitsuru, Aigis, and Koromaru), which made most of the phases easier.

EDIT:

Just reached the credits.
I'm not entirely sure what happened to the protagonist - it seems like she died, but Shinjiro survived an otherwise fatal situation by maxing out his social link, while Chidori literally came back from the dead because Junpei was convinced to spend time with her. Not sure if the last two months were the protagonist in the afterlife, or everyone getting their memories back meant that the protagonist's sacrifice against Nyx took effect again, or what happened.

The people saying that already take Arin "This isn't fun, the game isn't glitching out" Hanson as their messiah so I doubt anything will happen beyond clips of "OH MY GOD THIS ****ING GAME IS TRASH WHAT AM I MEANT TO DO HERE" with it being a super simple puzzle taking 30 minutes

****ed up this may be the Gen that finally dethrones Lando-T.


It's losing soo much in the Home transfer like Defog and Knock off.


It gets Nasty Plot in exchange but that seems more for Incarnate forme.

If they go through with this, reality is it's gonna flop and they just wasted a bunch of money for no reason. A lot of companies do this and one day they're gonna learn

I mean companies exist to make money. This is a money making move. Only issue is that it's a super niche audience and uh... that audience is not their target audience.

It's a waste of time. My honest guess is that the metaverse may be intriguing as a concept to companies

I mean I get that

My biggest fear is that they integrate this **** into their games. Seeing a franchise that inspired me like that stoop this low would genuinely break me

No matter what, I 100% don't think this would be for the main games at all. At the very most maybe some kind of NFT focused spinoff that flops and becomes lost media in 15 years.
