[OOC] Persona - The True Self

[Amaterasu]

That was a fun meme, time well spent despite procrastinating a post. I approve.

[Haru Nyan]

You were pretty spot on with her costume, I like that.
Hang on, I'm still laughing at the meme, let me re-read it again so I can laugh some more.
This is me savoring the last few ticking moments of my free time before the sembreak comes to an end.

A dungeon where Akane actually knows the person 'in need' of 'saving' (we all know it's a total trap for our heroes though).

What a fitting end to halloween, these creppy bosses.

[Haru Nyan]

Yeesh, just imagine how the final boss will look like...

[Sen]

Made these like two months ago to test out PS, it crashed, I only now realized they were recovered. So yeah. Pretty typical jokes but eh.

what's a god to a nonbeliever

[I-Am-X]

Posted.

Let's Git-r-done

[XLegs]

wow holy SHIT did i actually just POST?

u bet ur beautiful ass i did

[Amaterasu]

There are two types of TTS characters:
-Characters who are actually concerned about the kidnappings
-Characters too deep in slice of life and magnetting to care

[Sho Minazuki]

That's kinda like the people who play Persona. The ones who obsess over the Social Links, and the ones who grind countless hours in dungeons.

[Haru Nyan]

And then there are those who do both, getting a 100% completion before you know it.

[Sen]

I'll post some time tommorow. Along with a beautiful chart.

[Haru Nyan]

Chart? Dare I ask what kind of chart?

[Sho Minazuki]

Oh my fucking god I just realized there was something even more Persona-like than most things people compare Persona 4 to these days...

Shaman King.

[Haru Nyan]

That's kind of how media works, or in this case Anime/Manga/Video Games.
Sometimes the (mostly thinly-veiled) copycats are the ones getting all the cred while the originals are the one that get all the shit stomped on them.

I mean, take a look at all the goddamn Pokemon ripoffs now, especially on the goddamn Appstore. It's true that they can change ways, bend it a little to make it look original, but in the truth it's just what it is; a copy of something original. It's like stealing the Mona Lisa, changing her dress to a pair of jeans and a jacket, making her blonde and adding make-up and saying it's a 'completely new' painting of your girlfriend.

Nowadays it's pretty rare for you to make original content without someone calling you out as a copycat.
Shoot me for liking Yokai Watch smh

[Sho Minazuki]

No but like, Jojo went as far as the whole stands and Personas thing. They didn't go as deep as character traits. Shaman King on the other hand had some very small ones, and one very very specific one.

Shaman King, has that spirits and Personas thing, plus a few character parallels. Ryunosuke like Kanji had an attraction for Lyserg or in Persona's case, Naoto. Both Naoto and Lyserg have not only similar dress, but also had detectives among their parents, plus both are androgynous. Lyserg was mistaken for a girl, but was a guy, while Naoto was mistaken for a guy, but was a girl.

That was the one thing that stood out to me as incredibly similar. Tough guys falling for an androgynous guy/girl/trap.

Oh then there was Chocolove, who shares traits with Teddy. Both are closely designed to a particular animal, and both make bad jokes.

[Haru Nyan]

I distinctly remember watching Shaman King as a kid...Like that was WAY back, all I remember is that kid and that white-haired samurai (?), so my memory is awfully fuzzy. But damn, now that you say it...

Can TTS be a Shaman King RP from now on?
Ah, that reminds me...I need to start watching and probably reading Jojo. I'll finally learn whether it's as good as they say or if it's just overhyped.

[Sho Minazuki]

I've just been playing Master of Spirits 2 on GBA, because I liked that shit.

I could totally make a Shaman King RP though. But that'll have to be later.

[Haru Nyan]

Shaman King costumes for the party confirmed.

On the subject of costumes, why don't persona appearances change to what their user is currently wearing?
I mean, Kikuri-hime in a maid outfit? It can happen. Although, I guess it's not exactly a pleasing image to see Chronos in a speedo or something.

[Amaterasu]

I might be biased cause I like shonen in general but JOJO IS GREAT, PRAISE JOJO. Idk about overhyped honestly but I really like part 2 and 3 the best so far cause great humor and action.

And note, this coming from a non-believer less than half a year ago. Thank Sword.
