    I like to think the madarame boss fight 2nd phase is an extended baton pass tutorial. You use his clones to increase your baton pass bonuses so you can absolutely go ham on the boss itself. Which it does perfectly since a good chunk of that palace was about showing you how to baton pass effectively

      @@Yarharsuperpirate I 100% agree, and after doing Okumara I realized that. My only problem was even on hard difficulty (granted this is from memory) I didn’t really NEED to use it and I don’t remember the fight giving me a ton of trouble. It may even have been a first try boss. It didn’t quite work for me due to that, but that could be a skill issue on my part honestly

      When I got to that boss, the clones ended up all being the same type which - if I remember correctly - 2 of my teammates weren't weak to. So I simply left the other 2 to die and destroyed the boss with the 2 that resisted the clones attacks.

    I definitely think that Okumura's palace was by far the weakest. On top of the story weaknesses with Mona throwing a tantrum and Haru being basically sidelined, the theming felt really off. Throughout the game there is a consistent theming of thievery. This is reflected not just in the characters/personas but also in each palace. A castle, museum, bank, tomb, casino and cruise ship are all quite tropy places the perform some kind of heist or robbery. A space station just feels really out of place for me, not to mention the whole space model kit link felt really tenuous to me, like they just thought of the workers = robots thing and worked backwards from there.

    • @Obsoleek
      @Obsoleek  5 дней назад +14

      Yeah I hear you there. I think if they dropped the spaceport and just really dialed in on "Factory in which robots/employees are being run into the ground" and kept with it, that would of been my preference. The spaceport theme felt a bit slapped on, I'd agree on working backwards.
      A generic factory theme wouldn't be the best for thievery I'd say but it sounds more cohesive in my mind I think.

      Categorically incorrect, the wiki lists all the changes and that includes _removing_ mouse puzzles and adding the 1v1.
      Okumura's fight also added the Cognitive Haru (same as Shiho for Kamoshida), and the bossfight against Cognitive Wakaba had additional questions -- where if you answered wrong Futaba wouldn't be able to aim the wooden harpoon to hit the Sphinx correctly.

    • @aaroniscool7521
      @aaroniscool7521 2 дня назад

      @CelestiaLily don't need to use the wiki. I've played through the game twelve times between both versions and I recently finished the game again less than a couple days ago. The mice puzzles are in both versions and the 1v1 with shido is also in both versions. The other points are also true however cognitive Haru only turns into her robot form in royal but she is still present in both versions but you don't fight her in the vanilla game.

      Honestly I'm willing to concede my info as incorrect, as long as the youtube channel _Boss Fight Database_ has terrible footage or is some kinda massive hoax -- their videos on Shido and Okumura from 7 years ago are based off vanilla P5, and I can't seem to find *any* inclusion of Cognitive Haru in Okumura's fight nor the 1v1 in Shido's fight.
      This is also corroborated by the channel _WillJV2_ with their separate playlists for P5 and P5R -- both on Merciless -- and videos available for comparing the bossfights directly. One commenter on Shido's Royal bossfight goes _"I like that they added a Joker vs Shido section for this fight"._
      The mice puzzles are harder to explain since you're definitely _right_ -- they are in both versions -- but the specific route you *need* to go to each destination (the 5 letters) has been shortened in Royal.
      You can still explore multiple optional paths for extra loot, but the *mandatory* amount of puzzles is less steps total. And since I got this from a GameFAQs thread called "6th Palace changes **spoilers**", that info could actually be totally bogus and I'm cool with that lmao
      TBH _I'm_ the one impressed by 12 playthroughs, that takes dedication and I admire the commitment to seeing all the different things both versions have to offer!

      You may have a point, for me the fight wasn't incredible, but that in my mind felt more like a personal mismatch/not my taste rather than a "the fight is actually bad." It has value despite not being my favorite, but it wasn't like offensive to the point of it being a big deal. It's just fine i guess to me.

  • @Murdock1260

    I am wondering what your rankings would be purely on the music, because personally the music really exemplifies the gameplay, with nearly all songs reflecting the game so well (I believe replacing Life will change, for example). And I feel the songs really make the palace feel so alive. Ark made Shido’s really grande and felt like the finale. Gentle Madman made Maruki’s feel empty and sad. Etc.
    (Side note I agree Kaneshiro’s palace was weaker storywise, I feel like he had no relation to shido/ effected the overall story too much, but Price is such a damn good track)

    • @Obsoleek
      @Obsoleek  6 дней назад +4

      Hmmm It's really hard on that. Like you mentioned Price is amazing, and so is Maruki's theme. All of them I think are on similar levels for the most part. I think the only weaker ones for me were Okumara and Madarame.
      Basically you could fill in the middle however you wanted with the rest, but the bottom would be those, and the top would be Maruki and price.
      I'm glad you get me on Kaneshiro, that was a part of the game that felt a bit iffy but Makoto had to get introduced somehow.

    @demi-femme4821 4 дня назад +6

    I actually liked the Olumura fight, firstly because I'd already put enough time into Hifumi's Confidant that I could just swap, and secondly because my Mainline instincts told me to stockpile attack items. I actually got to engage with the mechanics of the battle system and have some fun with Baton Pass for once, which was honestly refreshing after how painfully easy all the other fights were. Yeah, it's a bit trial-and-error, but that's an innate part of MegaTen. You either struggle through or look shit up on the wiki.

    • @Obsoleek
      @Obsoleek  4 дня назад +2

      Oh my god I’m so stupid why didn’t I ever think of using Hifumi swap back then! That’s smart. I feel like the first time I used the swap was probably Yaldabaoth, I slept on that mechanic
      Also I agree baton passing is a blast, the only thing I disliked is the inconsistency in difficulty. Okumara isn’t hard if you use your brain more, but before that fight I didn’t really need to if you get me !

    I was glad to see that you (and other similar videos) broke down your reasoning for why you ranked each Palace the way you did; it made me realize that I'm generally higher on the gameplay than most people are, but also am a little more polarized when it comes to stories. For instance, I personally gave the Bank's story and the Spaceport's story really low scores while giving the Castle, Tomb, Casino, and Laboratory perfect scores, but then simultaneously didn't give any of the puzzles/exploration anything lower than a middling 4 on my goofy little 7-point scale.
    My ranking was:
    1 Center of Melancholy
    2 Ark of Pride
    3 Casino of Envy
    4 Tomb of Wrath
    5 Castle of Lust
    Museum of Vanity
    Prison of Sloth
    (yes they all tied with a score of 16/21 each; based purely on vibes I'll say Castle > Prison > Museum)
    8 Bank of Gluttony
    9 Spaceport of Greed

    While the 2nd and 3rd palaces didn't hit as hard, I think they were important in setting expectations that would then be broken by Futaba and Sae's palaces. They took the "corrupted motives/heart/treasure" motifs and completely subvert the players' expectations at a point where we thought we knew exactly what to expect. Futaba's palace was perfect and part of the reason was because of where it was placed 💖

Now idk if this was a skill issue, but i have to say the bosses were really hard sometimes. (Yes I play on merciless) Like especially madarame was not fun at all because of that. I think i died like over 10 times on that one. The mechanic with what painting can absorb what was not really self explanetory and that fucking nose one hit my allies when hitting the weakness. And then it got another turn and could eliminate my enitre party on its first turn. That is like the only rason i would rank the boss a bit down lol
