@@moritzw.7030 No, he's just an English Major and can predict plots really well on account of reading or seeing alot. If you watch his Ace Attorney content, he predicts like half of the villains after seeing like one testimony from them.
RTGame has this extraordinarily uncanny ability to talk in-passing about exactly what's going to happen later in any game he's playing. It was especially noticeable in his Ace Attorney series; he pretty much knew the conclusion to every case by the end of the first day of investigation, even when there was not nearly enough evidence to actually suggest he was correct. I can recall like, one or two points in his playthroughs where he legitimately didn't see something coming. He even once correctly speculated an entire character's backstory by chance when he first met them.
He overall just has a HIGH understanding of tropes in fiction to the point where he can attribute them to certain characters, games, and media right when he gets a firm grasp of them. (Also it might be because he just tends to use this prediction joke A LOT in his streams.)
I remember he got to one case and was able to correctly guess the murderer, confidant, motive, AND cause of death, even pinpointing how they would hide it, BEFORE THE MURDER EVEN TOOK PLACE. Chat was DEAD silent lmao
Yeah, he's like the Simpsons, throw enough against the wall and something will stick. Nothing to do with the age of the game or him, as an entertainer, doing research. 🙄
"if you dont do mementos sidequests" oh boy you're in for a treat with rt's gameplay he just stacks up mementos sidequests and then does an entire multi-hour mementos stream
I mean… that’s how normal people do it right? Why go into mementos and lose an afternoon for doing one thing then extra grinding when I could have them build up and then spend several hours in mementos getting everything done in a session freeing up more time to work on raising skills or confidants
I believe the reason why RT was able to call out future plots reveal in Persona and able to figure out the cases in Ace Attorney was because- and i know this is a meme, but seriously- he is an English Major and the man have probably been exposed to many narrative driven media. When you read or watch as many movies, books, game. You start to see plot patterns and trope. He's got a good grasp on story. His Bugsnax gameplay is by far my favorite because the man was truly flabbergasted at the sudden SHIFT in narrative the seemingly light hearted game have. In this case Persona games are filled with these tropes and throughout Persona 5 alone, they weren't hiding much of the obvious plot points. In fact, if you're perceptive, you can find them right off the bat. It's like when RT find out about the plot points of the weird Palace you find with Kasumi being linked to Maruki while he was editing and caught onto the fact that Kasumi was talking to her "broken phone" and saying the name Doctor Maruki, Stadium, Lab. I love when RT play story-driven games like these because he's got a good input and opinion on the story/plot/characters.
I wouldn't really say he's a genius for guessing Kaneshiro. If you've seen his Ace Attorney playthrough, "an underground mafia" is his guess for everything.
He just finished the og parts of the game with 5 to 6 personas at level 99 and all confidants at max. Needless to say he has absolutely broken the game in half.
Dan has a honestly uncanny ability of being very good on games he never played before lmfao. Reminds me of him going deathless for a good chunk of Hollow Knight
@@pudimlucy3222 tbf, he also has chat around that does give him some pretty decent tips along the way. he isnt bad per say, but te chat isnt to be understated
tbf, P5R isnt the hardest game in the series and if he did play on merciless(iirc he did at some point?) that makes it arguably easier given he realized how to exploit technicals etc
Whenever the Kaneshiro one comes, I recommend reacting to it too. Holy shit youre gonna love it cuz I was watching the streams the whole Kaneshiro journey was amazing.
RT has a wild train of logic and a variety of wild guesses that always somehow managed to be able to correctly predict Japanese based games down to their minute plot most likely hours before it gets revealed. This man either has a future at fortune telling or is just a really good English major.
I’m actually suprised he hasn’t figured out the Akechi or Maruki story lines yet because in the ace attorney series he would guess the backstories of characters within meeting them once.
He pretty much expected the betrayal after Akechi's rank 8, and at one point recently he said he's suspicious of Maruki after noticing Kasumi saying his keywords after editing a stream
When I played this game I had Morgana, Ryuji, and Yusuke as my party members and played around attack buffs, concentrate and phsyical technicals with Morgana as a healer and support, so seeing RTGame go for a different way of playing was very interesting as he focused way more on building the perfect Persona than I did. He has very good intuition with this game and seems to know what to optimize. Outside of battle especially where he manages to be very efficient. He plays up stuff for laughs but he's very clever and has a knack for stuff like predicting plot points and game mechanics.
23:44 during the streams he mentions that using dlc just made the battles kinda unfun (to the point he didn’t use items you got from it) and avoided it until RT felt he earned it so after Orpheus he doesn’t really make use of it
Honestly I'd really enjoy it if you reacted to and analyzed every episode of his, and I'm sure lots of other people would too! I'm pretty much never interested in strategy analysis (or strategy in general, I always play games on the lowest difficulty because like 90% of my interest is in plot lmao) but I found this really fun and enjoyable to watch.
From stardew to persona,rt manages to accidentally maximize playthrough by accident Also the ability to call story points like the ace attorney playthrough
found this video through someone in RT's chat, super interesting video! I've been loving RT's persona streams, and since his streams are my first time watching a persona playthrough it's super interesting hearing some of the more technical aspects
Tips for P5R: Keep Slime or Agathion and get Ryuji to rank 6 before Madarame, DON’T enter on 5/20 and go hang out with Ryuji at night to get insta-kill before Kaneshiro.
Dan has consistently been struck by the gift of prophecy (you can see this most clearly in ace attorney but consistently in every story based game he plays he predicts all the big plot twists before he even HAS evidence to justify it), which leads me to believe he’s the new oracle of delphi and i will not take criticism

During my first ever playthrough I had a VERY strong M. Izanagi that I got through a alarm fusion mistake with fire, thunder, and wind skills and I just used him for the rest of the game.
watching rt play persona 5 royal was my first true exposure to the game and holy crap even i could realize he did a lot of things optimally for his first playthrough
Got recommended this after RT’s first episode, I’ve never seen your content before but you seem really cool! A damageless p5 run sounds absolutely monstrous, and I am going to be watching that after I finish this video!
Jack, could you please make a video of the secret bosses? SPOILER: Such as the twin wardens or even Lavenza, just cause they are, what I feel are very tough bosses. Maybe you could even do the challenge rules while fighting them.
As soon as you unlock Jose and his upgrades, maxing out items to whatever your current cap is, and then going up and down the floors until you find the ATMs lets you never have SP issues again in your entire playthrough. It's just so stupidly strong.
Their first mistake was being bald and owning a car, showing how evil they were. Their second mistake was having windows that bricks could be chucked in.
I have no idea what you are talking about but his persona 5 playthrough was my favorite thing this year and i love to see other people enjoy it too. The game is honestly pretty amazing
In my pc playthrough I got a shiki-ouji in madarames palace and I am still using him now in 6th palace. Through lockdown I've gotten null nuke on him and I've slowly raised his level and stats through fusion alarms.
If you want to go through the game nice and easy, I've found there's actually a difficulty mode they didn't label: Izanagi no Okami Picaro or the non picaro version, I just prefer it because it can be really funny to hear joker try to say the full thing fast enough Anyways, be warned, it makes the game easy to the point where every fight boils down to joker choosing one attack on the first turn, and if the enemy somehow survives, you either choose it again, or concentrate, then do it again. Also when you do defeat enemies, joker is instantly healed to max hp and sp, so you never have to worry about any resources
Watching RT play Royal made me realize just how inefficient my base game playthrough was I never got any party confidants past 3 (other than Morgana who I didn't use) Didn't max Kawakami Didn't max Twins until Mementos palace Never unlocked Chihaya because it was too expensive Didn't max the Beef Bowl shop guy Only maxed out Proficiency, the rest were at 4 except for Kindness which was at 3 Was at least 5 levels under average for almost every palace Basically got through every boss fight with blocking on Joker, healing with Makoto, and then trying to sleep with Yusuke, and tech with Haru Or for earlier palaces, some other variation of that
0:32 Ayyy I've watched an 100% run of P5 and P5R so I'd say I'm... probably not as good as you but I'd certainly say I know what im doing as well in my own playthrough. In my own playthrough (I just got it for Christmas) I've gotten to [said Mafia boss]'s palace and now I'm rushing through, using one of RT's basic tactics which I never would have had the guts to do. Now I've gotta say, I actually kind of suck at the game, at least a little. For Madarame I had to cheat and use a DLC persona, else leave the palace for another day or grind up for 5 more hours (Seriously I found the man quite difficult on Hard and even with the level 20 DLC persona I almost struggled and even had to use a Revivadrin) and it was the literal BEST TIME to take him down, the palace was even done on that day in the 100% run. I did not feel like grinding low EXP for 5 hours just to be able to compete. I can do that in Mementos. Also said DLC persona has a new job: collecting dust in my persona list. As punishment for using it, it's going to stay in my list until I've atoned for it's usage. This means I have one less Persona slot and obviously I don't plan to fuse it away or itemize it when I finally decide to get rid of it. It will either be deleted by me, or deleted to be replaced by another Persona. Anyways imma make a run on comment. Refresh if this is the last part of this comment. 0:39 Yeahhh I only recently decided to get the game because I felt I had to give up on 100%. I've 100%'d other games but I CANNOT bring myself to with Persona 5 Royal. I am gonna max out all Social stats though. Also preferably all Confidants. I mostly need to focus on Team members, temporary team members, and the lovingly named "Snuncle" by RT's chat. And obviously, Hifumi, "Gunsin" (Gun cousin), The Maid, and the Fortune Teller. Oh, I forgot about "Sanders-san" Which leaves, like... Ohya (I like her story and her character is... tolerable but like RT I'm not really too fond of her perks and being a nighttime confidant honestly isn't that good because the Burger Challenge exists, Studying exists early game, Reading becomes OP late game, etc. 1:08 Brace yourself. It's gonna be painful. He becomes a Mary Sue which is even funnier because 1:23 Yooo I do that sort of stuff too Thankfully the runs I've watched, including yours, have given me the info I need. I'm certainly going strong, myself. 2:57 ... Yeaahhhhh he's going off the path of 100% in the future, but seriously Ryuji is OP and he's the easiest one to max out. And instakill exists. I... haven't done that myself. I've been more preoccupied with better Confidants... BUT SOON. Ryuji is rank 8 for me. ... All my others are rank 5 or lower. ... *it's 6/23 and my Kindness and Charm are rank 2 and the others are rank 3* I think this is good progress but I might be behind idk... Trying to get the rank 3's to rank 4 asap so the BBBC can max them out. Once it starts giving me 2 points though... yeah I'm gonna stop since there are easier ways to get 3 points, like the movies and books... 3:01 Strong physical attacker, has zio skills- WAIT DOES HE GET CHARGE ON LEVEL UP I FORGOR 3:15 Yusuke is good as a "not-Ryuji" but I'm more focused on the fact that Ryuji gets good AOE physical attack skills. My Yusuke is one level lower and has 1 more attack than Ryuji but moves like [Heavy Phys to 1 foe] and [Light Phys to all, 1-3 times] are legitimately powerful and I'm about to get [tier 2 single target Elec] on Ryuji. Also Raging Temper. It's incredible. 3:16 Decided to start playing the game again and Yusuke just got to the level where he can learn a physical skill... that is 5 less HP than Vicious Strike and does the same thing but also outs enemies to Sleep. ... *Sleep is an incredible status effect wdym it's CHEAPER!?* 4:51 Okay so I just came back to this video like a week later lol But seriously... NOTHING in this game gets you 4 points. AND THIS CHALLENGE GIVES YOU 6. One for each stat except kindness and 2 more for Guts. It's great 5:00 I would say it's good progress. I HEAVILY focused in ranking up my social stats in my own playthrough, except for Charm and kindness, because I was under the impression retaking the challenge as Captain literally just gave you the ability to even have a 4 point boost. It did not but hey it was motivation I also got the plant going so I had an influx of Kindness throughout everything, at least, and early on when I couldn't get books I didn't Study since I knew books would be more efficient in the future anyways so I had no reason to care, instead I Cleaned for free STE points towards Coffee Dad as well as kindness. Kindness is harder to come by in P5 than any other social stat ngl. 8:03 DLC stuff Also... Futaba ACTUALLY boosts AOA damage...? I just thought it healed the team 25% and had a different animation. Really sucks when I JUST HEALED after getting wrecked and she does it... 9:04 You can probably look it up lmao. Also, SERIOUSLY, people you can study in the Library and get Guts at this point in the game, OR JUST READ THROUGH THE BOOKS. You won't get Speed Reader for quite a while so you might as well start now. You've got time. Well... maybe not. Might be kind of stupid to read during the day since you have so many more day confidants especially near the end of the game. RT and I both spent like... 2 weeks drinking at the jazz club 14:08 Max Maruki, max confidants with all of my team members, Icy Glare, AND STATUS EFFECTS STILL STICK AROUND 65% OF THE TIME. Seriously: *WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?* 17:57 I... can't think of any abilities that increase Charge damage... Except for Will Of The Sword obviously. I transferred that to Yoshitsune and now every boss is terrified of me. enemies that I can two shot but don't feel the need to Charge for that are faster than my second party member are the most dangerous. 18:47 As someone who ALSO didn't care about holding off the palaces for optimal times (If it wasn't a Kasumi or Maruki day, I- nah jk if it wasn't a _confidant_ day, THEN I went palace yeeting.) 19:32 If they're Flying types, you shoot them down with rocks. If they're dragon types, that's not going to do you any good. 22:51 Yeah incredible how he equipped an item That's how you get Frei that early... 23:13 He mostly bans them himself once he realizes lol. He just went "Oh nice, Fire" and used it lol. Obviously he fused it he didn't buy it 23:37 Only the female one gets Neo Cadenza. The male one only gets Cadenza. 24:29 Ryuji is better if you plan to use Physical attacks, Yusuke is good if you plan to buff Evasiveness 24:54 Yeah, from 2 to 3. Doubled indeed.
As far as using DLC goes, if I recall the stream correctly, RT didn't want to use the DLC for free. He's using the DLC persona here because he fused it fair and square rather than just automatically getting it.
Charge and Concentrate are indeed 2.5x every hit. Fun anecdote but it took me forever in Persona 4 to start using them since I had just played Persona 3 where they are completely useless (Only doubling damage that you could have just done in 2 turns of using the spell with little SP cost extra). I'm so glad they got buffed in 4 and then stayed the same in 5
As someone playing Persona 5 right now I can confirm this: Ryuji’s skills are broken, Yoshida is one of the best confidants(you also don’t need a Persona to progress his link from what I hear), Maruki is broken, also I never knew Morgana lying down means you can’t leave, finally Jose sounds like he’ll be broken
"If you lose Joker's turn..." So when I played base P5, I actually spent, no joke, 4 hours, trying to get to a second turn on Shido. Somehow, he managed to land Rage on me every time, Harrisen would not activate, and I'd ko myself. The one time I didn't get hit with it, I beat the fight first try. It was the most frustrated I ever got with the game.
Ya, the crystal of vanity was on joker after acquiring it from Jose to the end of the game, plus the ability you get for the upgraded version is nuts so it really is the best one in the game and had me kinda disappointed every time I got a new one after that and it didn’t compare to the one I got from the second palace 😂
One thing you should mention is Izanagi-no-Okami Picaro singlehandedly makes all of this completely irrelevant. There's a reason Myriad Truths go BRR is a massive meme in the P5 community
Jack, I have a question. How do you get your remote play in such good quality? Mine is crap, even when I'm next to my ps5. my internet is fine, and I lowered the quality as well? any tips?
16:20 you can call the maid service to get her to make you one coffee or curry for free without taking a time slot so best to do it every day that you don't go to the palace for some free good sp items.
When you talked about him using dlc personas, i don't think he realised it was a dlc one, because for the entire playthrough he refused to use the dlc personas because of the fact that they were extremely op
Been loving the content since I first found you. Recently binged smt 5 damage less and was wondering if and were the the full streams for the P5 one is as I recently finished the game since it came onto xbox and was watching to watch all of what happened not just the 3 short videos.
During Shido's arc, RT guessed that Igor would be the next villain based solely on the fact that he's bald and owns a car in P4.
I don't know man that seems like a pretty good Smoking Gun
I think RT played the not Royal version first

Got recommended this after RT’s first episode, I’ve never seen your content before but you seem really cool! A damageless p5 run sounds absolutely monstrous, and I am going to be watching that after I finish this video!
11:15 "You can get so much more money out of your negotiations."
Daneshiro, "Did someone say... MORE MONEY?"
Jack, could you please make a video of the secret bosses?
SPOILER:
Such as the twin wardens or even Lavenza, just cause they are, what I feel are very tough bosses. Maybe you could even do the challenge rules while fighting them.
honestly twins are just a damage beat down... but yeah Lavenza is a *monster*
BRICK EM
I hope you keep reacting to him play so far his playthrough is insane he predicted so much stuff
I hope RT watchs this, this was a really detailed and funny analysis!
I’m just waiting for when RT makes a video where he reacts to this video
As soon as you unlock Jose and his upgrades, maxing out items to whatever your current cap is, and then going up and down the floors until you find the ATMs lets you never have SP issues again in your entire playthrough. It's just so stupidly strong.
Now we need RT to react to this video
well this is going to be interesting when we get to the "Daneshiro" arc
Their first mistake was being bald and owning a car, showing how evil they were.
Their second mistake was having windows that bricks could be chucked in.
the rest of his playthrough goes crazy, you should def review the rest of it now that its pretty much over
I have no idea what you are talking about but his persona 5 playthrough was my favorite thing this year and i love to see other people enjoy it too. The game is honestly pretty amazing
I love the way you mention the infinite money glitch because RT completely destroys the economy starting at Kaneshiro and ESPECIALLY at Okumura
In my pc playthrough I got a shiki-ouji in madarames palace and I am still using him now in 6th palace. Through lockdown I've gotten null nuke on him and I've slowly raised his level and stats through fusion alarms.
"If you're not doing sidequests or momentos, you're not going to level him up" That will not be a problem, I assure you.
Isekai literally means "otherworldly", if I remember correctly.
You should rate his other episodes because JESUS he gets some MONSTROUS personas very early, even predicts the whole game
Can't wait for you to get to the Daneshiro arc
If you want to go through the game nice and easy, I've found there's actually a difficulty mode they didn't label: Izanagi no Okami Picaro
or the non picaro version, I just prefer it because it can be really funny to hear joker try to say the full thing fast enough
Anyways, be warned, it makes the game easy to the point where every fight boils down to joker choosing one attack on the first turn, and if the enemy somehow survives, you either choose it again, or concentrate, then do it again. Also when you do defeat enemies, joker is instantly healed to max hp and sp, so you never have to worry about any resources
“There are glitches that give you infinite money” Trust me Daneshiro didn’t need that glitch
Watching RT play Royal made me realize just how inefficient my base game playthrough was
I never got any party confidants past 3 (other than Morgana who I didn't use)
Didn't max Kawakami
Didn't max Twins until Mementos palace
Never unlocked Chihaya because it was too expensive
Didn't max the Beef Bowl shop guy
Only maxed out Proficiency, the rest were at 4 except for Kindness which was at 3
Was at least 5 levels under average for almost every palace
Basically got through every boss fight with blocking on Joker, healing with Makoto, and then trying to sleep with Yusuke, and tech with Haru
Or for earlier palaces, some other variation of that

Ayyy I've watched an 100% run of P5 and P5R so I'd say I'm... probably not as good as you but I'd certainly say I know what im doing as well in my own playthrough. In my own playthrough (I just got it for Christmas) I've gotten to [said Mafia boss]'s palace and now I'm rushing through, using one of RT's basic tactics which I never would have had the guts to do.
Now I've gotta say, I actually kind of suck at the game, at least a little. For Madarame I had to cheat and use a DLC persona, else leave the palace for another day or grind up for 5 more hours (Seriously I found the man quite difficult on Hard and even with the level 20 DLC persona I almost struggled and even had to use a Revivadrin) and it was the literal BEST TIME to take him down, the palace was even done on that day in the 100% run. I did not feel like grinding low EXP for 5 hours just to be able to compete. I can do that in Mementos. Also said DLC persona has a new job: collecting dust in my persona list. As punishment for using it, it's going to stay in my list until I've atoned for it's usage. This means I have one less Persona slot and obviously I don't plan to fuse it away or itemize it when I finally decide to get rid of it. It will either be deleted by me, or deleted to be replaced by another Persona.
Anyways imma make a run on comment. Refresh if this is the last part of this comment.

Yeahhh I only recently decided to get the game because I felt I had to give up on 100%. I've 100%'d other games but I CANNOT bring myself to with Persona 5 Royal.
I am gonna max out all Social stats though. Also preferably all Confidants. I mostly need to focus on Team members, temporary team members, and the lovingly named "Snuncle" by RT's chat.
And obviously, Hifumi, "Gunsin" (Gun cousin), The Maid, and the Fortune Teller. Oh, I forgot about "Sanders-san"
Which leaves, like... Ohya (I like her story and her character is... tolerable but like RT I'm not really too fond of her perks and being a nighttime confidant honestly isn't that good because the Burger Challenge exists, Studying exists early game, Reading becomes OP late game, etc.
1:08
Brace yourself. It's gonna be painful.
He becomes a Mary Sue which is even funnier because
1:23
Yooo I do that sort of stuff too
Thankfully the runs I've watched, including yours, have given me the info I need. I'm certainly going strong, myself.
2:57
...
Yeaahhhhh he's going off the path of 100% in the future, but seriously Ryuji is OP and he's the easiest one to max out.
And instakill exists.
I... haven't done that myself. I've been more preoccupied with better Confidants... BUT SOON.
Ryuji is rank 8 for me.
...
All my others are rank 5 or lower.
...
*it's 6/23 and my Kindness and Charm are rank 2 and the others are rank 3*
I think this is good progress but I might be behind idk...
Trying to get the rank 3's to rank 4 asap so the BBBC can max them out. Once it starts giving me 2 points though... yeah I'm gonna stop since there are easier ways to get 3 points, like the movies and books...
3:01
Strong physical attacker, has zio skills-
WAIT DOES HE GET CHARGE ON LEVEL UP I FORGOR
3:15
Yusuke is good as a "not-Ryuji" but I'm more focused on the fact that Ryuji gets good AOE physical attack skills.
My Yusuke is one level lower and has 1 more attack than Ryuji but moves like [Heavy Phys to 1 foe] and [Light Phys to all, 1-3 times] are legitimately powerful and I'm about to get [tier 2 single target Elec] on Ryuji.
Also Raging Temper. It's incredible.
3:16
Decided to start playing the game again and Yusuke just got to the level where he can learn a physical skill... that is 5 less HP than Vicious Strike and does the same thing but also outs enemies to Sleep.
...
*Sleep is an incredible status effect wdym it's CHEAPER!?*
4:51
Okay so I just came back to this video like a week later lol
But seriously... NOTHING in this game gets you 4 points.
AND THIS CHALLENGE GIVES YOU 6. One for each stat except kindness and 2 more for Guts. It's great
5:00
I would say it's good progress. I HEAVILY focused in ranking up my social stats in my own playthrough, except for Charm and kindness, because I was under the impression retaking the challenge as Captain literally just gave you the ability to even have a 4 point boost. It did not but hey it was motivation
I also got the plant going so I had an influx of Kindness throughout everything, at least, and early on when I couldn't get books I didn't Study since I knew books would be more efficient in the future anyways so I had no reason to care, instead I Cleaned for free STE points towards Coffee Dad as well as kindness.
Kindness is harder to come by in P5 than any other social stat ngl.
8:03
DLC stuff
Also... Futaba ACTUALLY boosts AOA damage...? I just thought it healed the team 25% and had a different animation. Really sucks when I JUST HEALED after getting wrecked and she does it...
9:04
You can probably look it up lmao.
Also, SERIOUSLY, people you can study in the Library and get Guts at this point in the game, OR JUST READ THROUGH THE BOOKS. You won't get Speed Reader for quite a while so you might as well start now. You've got time.
Well... maybe not. Might be kind of stupid to read during the day since you have so many more day confidants especially near the end of the game. RT and I both spent like... 2 weeks drinking at the jazz club
14:08
Max Maruki, max confidants with all of my team members, Icy Glare, AND STATUS EFFECTS STILL STICK AROUND 65% OF THE TIME.
Seriously:
*WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?*
17:57
I... can't think of any abilities that increase Charge damage...
Except for Will Of The Sword obviously.
I transferred that to Yoshitsune and now every boss is terrified of me. enemies that I can two shot but don't feel the need to Charge for that are faster than my second party member are the most dangerous.
18:47
As someone who ALSO didn't care about holding off the palaces for optimal times (If it wasn't a Kasumi or Maruki day, I- nah jk if it wasn't a _confidant_ day, THEN I went palace yeeting.)
19:32
If they're Flying types, you shoot them down with rocks. If they're dragon types, that's not going to do you any good.
22:51
Yeah incredible how he equipped an item
That's how you get Frei that early...
23:13
He mostly bans them himself once he realizes lol. He just went "Oh nice, Fire" and used it lol. Obviously he fused it he didn't buy it
23:37
Only the female one gets Neo Cadenza. The male one only gets Cadenza.
24:29
Ryuji is better if you plan to use Physical attacks, Yusuke is good if you plan to buff Evasiveness
24:54
Yeah, from 2 to 3. Doubled indeed.
This video is such a Jack Moment
As far as using DLC goes, if I recall the stream correctly, RT didn't want to use the DLC for free. He's using the DLC persona here because he fused it fair and square rather than just automatically getting it.
RT is unbelievable good at predicting things, it's very funny in chat when he does that, like :)
You NEED to see Daneshiro + him making Jack Black
Can't wait for RTs review of this review
I love the way the clown music came in the instant you said "professional"
Charge and Concentrate are indeed 2.5x every hit. Fun anecdote but it took me forever in Persona 4 to start using them since I had just played Persona 3 where they are completely useless (Only doubling damage that you could have just done in 2 turns of using the spell with little SP cost extra). I'm so glad they got buffed in 4 and then stayed the same in 5
i really hope that this is like when rt reacted to someone reacting to his nuzlock and he watches this
I am subscribed to both of these channels and it makes me so happy to see this
I really want you to review the Jack Black
act
As someone playing Persona 5 right now I can confirm this: Ryuji’s skills are broken, Yoshida is one of the best confidants(you also don’t need a Persona to progress his link from what I hear), Maruki is broken, also I never knew Morgana lying down means you can’t leave, finally Jose sounds like he’ll be broken
The Sun and Moon confidants don't require a Persona yes, you're garunteed a rank up every time you see them
I would love to see your reaction to more of his Persona stuff now that he’s completed the Base Game
I wish i could have caught this playthrough live
"If you lose Joker's turn..."
So when I played base P5, I actually spent, no joke, 4 hours, trying to get to a second turn on Shido. Somehow, he managed to land Rage on me every time, Harrisen would not activate, and I'd ko myself. The one time I didn't get hit with it, I beat the fight first try. It was the most frustrated I ever got with the game.
If you Freeze an enemy, all their resistances nullify while frozen.
I’m almost done with my first playthrough and it’s fun finding out all of the super useful things I just flat out ignored 🤣
pls review all of the rt's content this is an amazing series that rt did and this would make great content
Ya, the crystal of vanity was on joker after acquiring it from Jose to the end of the game, plus the ability you get for the upgraded version is nuts so it really is the best one in the game and had me kinda disappointed every time I got a new one after that and it didn’t compare to the one I got from the second palace 😂
One thing you should mention is Izanagi-no-Okami Picaro singlehandedly makes all of this completely irrelevant.
There's a reason Myriad Truths go BRR is a massive meme in the P5 community
And then he just went and broke the game with an eventual Lv.99 Black Frost (aka Jack Black)
The Myriad Truths is nothing in comparison to HEE-HO
It’s uncanny how well Dan can predict the future he predicted the entire story of the first Minecraft story mode in the first hour
i too wanted to do maruki the minute i saw him
You should watch some of the later vids. He fucking manages to break the game on his first play through
“That’s a good Jack Frost” you have no idea…
...if this was a series, reacting to the whole series...
Jack, I have a question. How do you get your remote play in such good quality? Mine is crap, even when I'm next to my ps5. my internet is fine, and I lowered the quality as well? any tips?
Remote play is very rubbish! I suggest investing in a capture card if you plan on playing or recording on PC :) Elgato does some alright ones
I would to see you react to the entire play through, he ends up stupidly breaking the game
Jack is tied with Tevin for best persona player
16:20 you can call the maid service to get her to make you one coffee or curry for free without taking a time slot so best to do it every day that you don't go to the palace for some free good sp items.
Never mind saw the next ten seconds disregard what I said.
I believe the anime trope you're looking for is, The Isekai (E-say-kai)
This is so fun!
I'd love to hear your analysis on the other arcs as well 😄
Please do a commentary on the next arc!
id love to see RT try and beat Lavenza
When you talked about him using dlc personas, i don't think he realised it was a dlc one, because for the entire playthrough he refused to use the dlc personas because of the fact that they were extremely op
12:00 I would love to see your reaction to daneshiro
Been loving the content since I first found you. Recently binged smt 5 damage less and was wondering if and were the the full streams for the P5 one is as I recently finished the game since it came onto xbox and was watching to watch all of what happened not just the 3 short videos.
*Im trying to invoke Dan to react to this like he did with the dude who reviewed his nuzlock videos*
cant wait for RTs reaction video like he did with the nuzlock reviews lol
