Cognition

the other castings for my persona theatre au if anyone is interested (nobody):

futaba as cosette (she's the youngest other than sumi and i have Plans for sumi)

yusuke as marius (hes also costume dept but there were Circumstances and he was a good enough actor so they just casted him whatever)

ryuji and ann as the thénardiers (they are also funny + just a Duo in my mind)

haru as fantine (she has the aura)

makoto as eponine (she has a rivalry with akechi who will be set up as a second cosette outside of the theatre aspect and she ALSO has the aura)

shuake as valvert, i think this is a given, but they will also be gay enough that there will be marius/cosette elements to the two of them outside of the play

mishima is tech

hifumi is costume dept with yusuke

maruki is teacher director alongside kawakami

shido is shido

yu (narukami) is ren's older brother from home

i think that's it for now

enjolras and the rest didnt stick out to me when i watched the play so theyll probably stay uncasted, or ill stick a confidant in there later

i dont have any of this drawn btw ✌️ we ball

Akechi Goro is in Persona 6 Atlus told me

Bless the P5R models for moving in such expressive and dynamic ways to communicate small character nuances. This is one of my favorite demonstrations of it. The difference in the way Joker and Akechi react to sudden changes in their environment.

Joker's steady, almost nonchalant stance because in the metaverse he is the confident and reliable leader. He doesn't step back because his role is always on the front lines so he's used to taking the hits whereas the other Thieves can switch out or hang back.

Akechi's full-body flinch and immediate step backwards because he's used to fighting solo and therefore can't afford to get hit. Makes you wonder what dangers and violence he went through since he was 15 that could ingrain this degree of jumpiness in him. His fighting style is more frenzied and mobile so they make his movements more exaggerated.

Then they simultaneously get into battle stance, with Joker covering the right (since he's right handed) and Akechi covering the left (since he's left-handed). Nearly 360° defense. Perfectly complementing each other in battle.

#p5/r has the best model work#there's a sort of charm to them that p3r and even from the p4r trailer the models don't seem to have#which might be the result of having a different team work on it#cus p5/r onwards persona takes to realism rather than expression#i think this is why p3r isn't as like? stylistically memorable for me?#even though the lean into the water aesthetics was super cool#also yeah shuake battle stance is perfect

I'm glad someone else agrees P3R isn't as stylized with regards to the model animation. That was one of my biggest problems with that game. The story gets very emotional, and the voice acting and sprites often reflect that, yet the models don't. They move stiffly, like dolls instead of humans.

Feels like they prioritized more detailed/ realistic models over dynamic animation which I think was a poor choice. I'll take fluid and expressive animation over realism any day.

#so glad to hear this pointed out bcause I was really disillusioned w/ reloads model animations#and I considered that maybe I had just been remembering royals animations with rose tinted glasses... but no theyre sooooo fun#anns in particular have always stood out to me iirc#but everyones have so much personality. every futaba and yusuke scene >>>#I even liked the npc animations I think! super fun

Omg YES Ann has some of the best animations in the entire game. I've been working on a long post compiling my favorite Ann model animations for months now as I do another NG+. They did such a good job showing her mood during important scenes, which helps set the tone for the story.

And Yusuke is a masterclass in how model animations can make characters stand out. Nobody moves the way Yusuke does. You can tell a fan to picture Yusuke moving, and they will instantly think of rapid dramatic gestures and sweeping arm movements.

If you try to do the same for P3R, and ask a player to picture Junpei or Akihiko moving, nothing about their moveset stands out. Same thing with Mitsuru or Yukari or Fuuka, they're animated with uniform gestures even if their personalities are different. You'd think Ken (as a child) would be animated more fluidly or rapidly or in a way that makes him look light/squishy, but he's just as stiff as the rest of them.

“Sometimes,” she said, so quiet as to make them strain their ears. “Once you’ve opened your eyes, you can’t bear to close them again.” Akechi didn’t smile. “You understand. Don’t you?” Akira crawled closer until they could wrap their arms around her shoulders. They buried their face against her neck. She didn’t move to embrace them, but they heard how she gasped, and how she relaxed in their grasp. They took a shaky breath, overwhelmed by the pure sentiment of everything she expressed as they held her close, and closer. “Then please,” Akira said. “Never close them again.”

Chapter 10 (The Final Chapter) of my Trans Dancesport AU is up! Please consider this Akechi-centric story about her struggle to come out as a trans woman in a social system that disincentivizes the process of living as yourself.

#this altered my brain #check it out guysss #its so peak #ty for making it op #goro akechi #persona 5

if persona 6 doesnt have the most autistic and queer cast imaginable only for atlus to reach their hand in during the last hour of the game and slap a name tag on them that reads "I'm Cishet And Want To Be A Cop BTW" is it really a persona game
