Started Persona 5 Royal. It’s a JRPG alright. Fucked up (and not to mention shit writing) to have the first arc be about a teacher SAing students, and then to have the second arc require you to force one of those students to seduce someone against her will (and then when that seduction target joins you he never apologizes for being so pushy). The game also really suffers from a lack of MC involvement in dialogue. Like eg I don’t even think you were told you couldn’t tell anyone about the Velvet Room but I guess that’s just not an option.

I find it increasingly funny when it snaps back to Sae in the interrogation room asking “ah so you phantom thieves were really good at eating burgers, you must have had the help of an american!” or whatever every time you get a new confidant.

E: it’s also very funny that the politician guy was involved in three scandals that ruined his career, and calling a constituent an idiot is portrayed as an equal offense to embezzling millions of yen.
