  • I read that this weird aspect has in fact been toned down from the original game where unless you decide to involve yourself in a romantic relationship with the female social links, you can’t max then which… I don’t know what to say about it.

    Yeah, the female route (from the PSP port and controversially not adapted to the remake) adds the innovation of… being able to not romance social links of the opposite sex. Also one of the characters rejects you no matter what. Though of course it has a very controversial romance choice which yea, was a huge L from ATLUS.

    I haven’t played the remake, so I can’t comment on the music, but the best part of Persona 3 has to be the story imo.

    However, in terms of the soundtrack, you can’t beat the atmosphere of Persona 1 on the PS1 in my opinion, even if Persona 3 has a lot of bangers.




  • The budget hole is actually not a big deal.

    There was way less national debt before Covid-19 but the actual issue is that in 2011, the neoliberals pushed through a constitutional amendment requiring the country to have a balanced budget.

    Then Covid comes and the war in Ukraine. The covid expenses are a given, but then the government pumps a lot of money into the military because the government sees itself as part of the western bloc and wants it to survive.

    So they ran a deficit budget for two years as an arbitrary exemption, and now the constitutional court says “you can’t actually” - so the government is gonna do austerity now and throw people under the tank it just bought.

    There’s no risk of collapse whatsoever. It’s just the new (old) form of the bourgeois state enforcing bourgeois interests.
