The Trickster's Ninth Episode

After all, Morgana's phantom thief aesthetics is actually a very traditional phantom thief concept, which is different from the personalization of Amemiya Ren and most other members of the phantom thief group.

Morgana's Phantom Thief aesthetics are carried through to the end, and from the appearance, the result is the beautiful girl Phantom Thief Haru Okumura-of course, only the appearance.

There is no traditional phantom thief in this world who carries an RPG and a battle ax with him, and hides a machine gun in the skirt of his persona.

The embarrassment in this is like the mood of a senior traditional maid Kobayashi when she faces a modern service maid in Akihabara.

Morgana's love for traditional phantom thieves has never disappeared, but the original idea of ​​​​making the phantom group into a traditional phantom thief group is now as shameful as black history.

Although Morgana escaped, Ren Amamiya achieved her goal of using Morgana to divert the topic.

The audience was surprised by Ren Amamiya's statement that he wanted a cat to make his debut, and they all completed it in their own minds and thought that what Ren Amamiya said was actually [let a person wear a cute pet model to debut as a Vtuber].

Normal people would think so, who would have thought that a cat was really about to debut?

In view of the fact that Ren Amamiya has already given birth to Togo One Two Three, and the person who is preparing to debut is Kitagawa Yusuke, a second-year student of the Rainbow, so there is no personal potential, and now Morgana is added.The audience complained one after another that a certain second player in the world, who was not doing his job properly, started to compete with the painters and modelers for business again.

Reminiscent of Ren Amamiya having a good relationship with someone famous for Rosemary Rosemary, they began to think that it was Parry who infected their tweets.

But isn't that a good thing? ! (shock)

Push, you can push.The only artist in this world, Vtuber, has no position to ask the audience to push it alone. Ms. Kagura Nana, who said the famous saying of "DD beheading", doesn't she also allow fans to push her daughter?

Why do you defile people's innocence out of thin air?Is that the normal relationship between me and Tui Tui, the son and daughter of Tui Tui?Can it count as DD?

So everyone happily accepted it.

The game progresses to catching Pokémon, no, it is the link to get a new persona.

According to the game tutorial, everyone will catch a Pixie.

"Regarding the acquisition of personas, this system actually has two ways, one is to capture, or obtain by persuasion; the other is to synthesize with multiple personas. There will be a tutorial on synthesizing personas later."

"There are character level restrictions on the way to synthesize and obtain Persona, but there is no persuasion to obtain Persona. After the tutorial, you can capture Persona as you like."

"I personally recommend grabbing as many personas as possible before returning from the hall for the first time. Try not to repeat the types. The specific functions will be mentioned later."

Ren Amameiya was explaining while attacking. The early level and types of persona masks were limited. He just cured a few low-sequence persona masks step by step.

Jack Lantern, Mandala.

There are too few catches in the early stage, and this is almost the same.

The progress of the game also quickly advanced to the synthesis of the persona, and Ren Amamiya continued to talk about the strategy with the audience.

Things like concave P have almost been integrated into Amamiya Ren's instinct, and he doesn't even need to check the information.

"According to my settings, most of the monsters encountered in the early stage of the game have gun attributes as their weakness, and the weaknesses of the rest of the weak magic are also the four lines before ice, fire, wind and thunder, and there will be no monsters with weak cores that chant curses, so in the early stage It is best to be able to equip the team with magic of these four attributes."

"Among the existing teammates, Ryuji has the thunder system, Xing has the fire system, Mona has the wind system, and the initial Yasen has the curse system, so it is best to get it when synthesizing the persona in the novice stage. A P with an ice skill."

"The synthesis method is also very simple. When the character reaches level 7, you can use the Pixie and Datura you caught before to synthesize Xuanwu. By the way, if you didn't grab more P before, you must use Yasen and After Pixie fused, what he got was Ajaxion from the chariot community, whose skills were lightning and physical damage."

"That's right, it is to send Yasen to the guillotine, and then behead him to become a useless blue-skinned kid in a jar."

"Ajathion's physics skills are actually quite general, but basically everyone has the physics skills, so it's better to get the ice skills first. I personally recommend that you choose Xuanwu."

"But I..."

"Ah! Wrong order."

Chapter 110 Six, Everything Changes, It Begins From Here

(The person is out of town and just got off the plane.)

"Hey! I was thinking suddenly! Did you feel pain when you were executed like this before?" Yu Gonglian still had a smile on her face, and suddenly asked Yasen on a whim.

Ren Amamiya didn't know which reincarnation Yasen became the side of his personality to gain the ability to act independently. He only knew that he was just a pure personality mask for at least one week.

So Ren Amamiya was quite curious about how Yasen felt when he was beheaded, electrocuted, imprisoned and other messy operations.

"It doesn't make any sense, this is just a way of expressing the ceremony." Yasen waved his hand impatiently. "If the persona is really gone, won't you have a nervous breakdown?"

The persona is another form of existence of [Shadow], and the shadow will cause brain death after being killed in the other world, so it is the same if the persona is destroyed.

The methods of [execution] in the velvet room look like ghosts, but they are actually just a kind of packaging.

When he was still in the middle demon period, the velvet room held a demon ceremony for the protagonist on the bright side, and signed contracts with other middle demons to get help.In fact, he made a phone call behind his back.

——"Crooked! Xifa! Ah, is the business downturn recently? I have an order here, can you accept it?!"

——"Crooked! Yoshitsune, do you have a schedule recently? You're going to the set of "Son of the Sly Ghost"! Then I'll delay it for you, come back when the Tower COOP is full."

Probably that's how it feels.

Of course, making a phone call is not the truth, it is also just a [form].

Whether it is [Devil Ritual] or [Punishment], they are just a kind of packaging in [Form]. In fact, the Persona is only related to the protagonist's own [Consciousness]. The so-called carrying multiple Personas is essentially similar to relying on psychological Suggests changing one's character and style.

Wearing a mask of the same attribute, you will have a favorable impression bonus when interacting with people of the same attribute. Isn't this the embodiment of a higher compatibility of personality?

So when Yasen was beheaded for the first time, he could lightly tell the protagonist that we would meet again sooner or later.

Of course, after saying this, he becomes a child in a jar.

The story of P5 is a story without surprises, mostly due to the silent setting of the protagonist.

In order to allow players to substitute for the protagonist, the game greatly reduces the description of the protagonist's subjective reaction, so that the protagonist is calm and speechless most of the time.

Of course, this can suit all kinds of players to increase the sense of substitution, but with this kind of mouthless protagonist, the player's own emotions can basically no longer become so intense.

Fortunately, although there are no wonderful beginnings, transitions, at least there is peace and joy of seeing the small things.And that's where the main joy of gameplay comes from.

Community cultivation, personality attribute improvement, concave P, various mini-games, and rich gameplay make up for the lack of combat system. Achievement acquisition and numerical development are the most fundamental attractions of P5.

This kind of story curve without many ups and downs can of course be corrected and changed, or in other words, when the main line of the story becomes the story of Umiya Ren instead of the story of the [protagonist], it basically means that this game has abandoned the original Let [most people substitute themselves into the protagonist] strategy.

Needless to say, the impact of this strategy has advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, it will improve the audience and sales of the game. Canceling this strategy means that it needs to be supplemented by improving other aspects of the game experience. .

As for what can make up for the lack here, of course it is to enhance the excitement of the story.

But that being said, the story of conquering the maze and fighting the boss is hard to be exciting, especially this is the first dungeon that the protagonist group faces, a pure novice village where the boss is very hip.

Therefore, there are very few changes in the chapters of Takumi Kamoshida. There are two main changes. One is that the [Reason for the Fall of the Palace Lord], which was originally regarded as a waste case, has been re-added to incorporate the original maze solution. In the puzzle game.

This is not difficult to achieve. In fact, in the prison system of P5S, [Reason for Falling] has been integrated into the maze strategy link, which can be regarded as an example of reuse of abandoned cases.It is also not difficult to put it into the new P5, as long as it is used.

Another change is more critical. The change is the consciousness of the protagonist group, mainly from the protagonist's perspective.

In the original plot, because his best friend Suzui Shiho was almost ruined by Kamoshida Takumi's whole life and even almost died, Takamaki Anko had a strong hatred and anger towards Kamoshida Takuo.So that when the boss was finally defeated and the palace was about to collapse, Takamaki Xing almost fell under the shadow of the killer Kamo Shida Taku.

Of course, it was just a flash of thought and impulse, Gao Juanxing finally let the other party go, even though it was just a shadow, not a real person.

This plot is a very shallow and clear foreshadowing in the original story line. The person in charge of the copywriting is afraid that some players don’t want to use their brains, so they directly paste clues on the players’ faces, which is short of expressly showing the connection between killing the shadow and mental breakdown. .

but!

but!The gang of copywriters set the clues so superficially that anyone can see that there is a problem with [Killing the Shadow], but no one in the protagonist group cares.

In the future palace strategy, the reason for not killing the palace master is only for the reason of "successful for the first time, so the following action mode is directly copied to avoid mistakes", without deep thinking.

Isn't this deliberate intelligence reduction for the sake of plot promotion?To put it bluntly, this means that the copywriter must forcibly ignore the clues in the early stage in order to deflate the protagonist group later.

P5 is a flashback story. The first thing that is settled is that the protagonist is captured by the police and then tells his own story in the interrogation room.Therefore, the plot of being deflated is a given, so the plot structure in the early stage will serve to eat that deflate.

If the protagonist group noticed the connection between [Killing Shadow] and [Nervous Breakdown] early on, then it would be impossible to ignore [Black Mask] mentioned by Madarame Ryusai and Kaneshiro Junya.

Then, if it is known that there is a mastermind behind the scenes in the world, they will definitely be vigilant against it, so that they may not necessarily fall into the trap prepared by Shido Zhengyi for the Phantom Thieves.

This part of the plot is really too insane, the overwhelming news of the mental breakdown, and I happen to come into contact with the supernatural power related to the will of the mind, but I never connect the two.

Obviously Madarame Ryusai and Kaneshiro Junya mentioned the black masker twice, but they forcibly ignored them.

When I heard the news that [other people besides myself can be active in the inner world], my first reaction was not to be vigilant, but [Did you hear it wrong? 】【The other party is alarmist】【Impossible】.

So why do you have superpowers?Who do you think you are?Is he the only chosen one in heaven and earth?

Dreaming of a righteous hero with great heart, enjoying the pie falling from the sky with peace of mind.If you want to say that this is a group of minors, then just pretend that everyone else is a group of idiots, a group of 17-year-olds who are immature and don't think too much.Well, barely count this argument justified.

So what about Niijima?The position of the military adviser in the team, and the personality of the academic master with strong leadership.Without any clues, they noticed that there was a problem with the protagonist group, and began to suspect and investigate them.Is it really appropriate for such a smart person, such a character with strong intuition and suspicion, to be heartless?

Although there is no way for the new storyline of Strange Records to reproduce Amamiya Ren's prediction + flat push, but this kind of rat shit-like subconscious plot must be completely deleted.

This part of the thinking is also given to the protagonist to make up.

Didn't you dislike the original story line without ups and downs and being too plain?Then increase the protagonist’s subjective will, increase his purpose and enthusiasm, endow him with [wish], and turn the story into a process of realizing [wish].Rather than drifting with the tide and being carried forward by fate.

Ren Amamiya personally hates that kind of story. The protagonist has no will of his own, but is just a story that is coerced by events to promote the plot.

Interestingly, most of the Japanese entertainment works—be it anime or light novels—many have such stories.

Character should drive the story, not fate.In other words, it should not be a set of strong words and coincidences created by the author.

"Huh! It's so dangerous! I almost can't escape." Ryuji Sakamoto said with lingering fear.

Returning to reality from the hall, holding a gold medal that does not belong to any game in his hand, this means the collapse of Kamoshida Takuten, and the end of Chapter 1 of the story.

"Does this really make Kamo Shida repent?" Takamaki Xing still couldn't believe it.

"Things can only be resigned to fate now, I think it should be fine, no matter what, we have already defeated that guy, haven't we?" Ryuji Sakamoto said carelessly, then turned his head to look at Ren Amamiya and said strangely .

"Why do you look so preoccupied?"

【I'm more concerned about one thing】【Nothing special】【Thinking about how much this gold medal is worth】

Three classic dialogue options pop up, one is serious, one is indifferent, and one is mischievous. Of course, these are meaningless options. No matter which one you choose, it will not affect the development of the plot. At most, it will change a few lines of dialogue.

However, although the options are meaningless, [Appearance Options] itself contains the meaning of the protagonist’s will—the options appearing here are to hint and lead the players and the protagonist group to think about the inner world and the dehumanization incident.

Ren Amamiya chose the third item, and joked a few words with Ryuji, who was excited by being reminded that gold medals could be sold for money, and then turned to look at Morgana who had turned into a black cat again.

[Speaking of which, when the palace collapsed just now...] [What would happen if the shadow was killed? 】

This is also a feature of the meaningless option.Usually when there are three options, each option will reflect a variety of different personalities.

However, when only two options are presented, usually both options say the same thing.It is a game design purely for the purpose of giving players a sense of participation and reducing the life of the handle buttons.

"I won't do that kind of thing!" Before Morgana could reply, Gao Juanxing couldn't help but defend herself. "Although watching what that guy did made me very angry, but if you simply used violence because of this, wouldn't it be the same as that guy?"

"Even if you ask me this question, I can't remember anything about it!" Morgana responded helplessly.

[Just care about it] [Talk about it casually] [Maybe you will become a vegetative person]

"No matter what, that guy deserves it!" Sakamoto Ryuji intervened in the topic very indifferently.

No one in this world except Amamiya Ren knows the original story line, so this dialogue seems ordinary in the whole plot.
