Do you know where I can find the Cattle Anniversary gatcha?

Oh, like where the gachapon machines that have it are located? I... don't actually remember, that was a year ago for me, haha. Can someone playing Global reply/reblog with which location(s) they've found the anniversary gachapon sets in?

What do you mean I have to experience the pain that is listening to Heaven every time I want to use Miku ;-;

At least the pain comes in the form of a banger remix

Does anyone happen to know if there's a good place to find the official English descriptions for the Synergy gift items online? I'd love to start using official translations for things that have them, but I'm not sure where to look, short of making an account on Global, heh.

I'm currently putting together a post for Joker's Sympathy, and I believe nearly all of his preferred gifts are already in Global? If there isn't a good place for me to find all the item descriptions, it'd be super helpful if someone could reply to this post or reblog it with screenshots of the descriptions for:

Noise-Canceling Headphones (?) (Mayumi likes this)

ChocoStick Value Pack (Tomoko and Ayaka like this)

Black Lacquer Mug (?) (Kiyoshi and Yumi like this)

Silver Bangle (Shun and Kiyoshi like this)

Gourmet Food Tour Guide (Motoha likes this)

Wrist Weights (Merope and Masaki like this)

Planter Cover (?) (Merope and Manaka like this)

Sharpshooter's Secrets (Kira likes this)

Omni-Vitamins (Kayo likes this)

Japanese Book Cover (Kotone and Riko like this)

Black-Framed Glasses (Yaoling and Kiyoshi like this)

Unless you guys prefer me using the Google-translated item descriptions or something, I guess, haha?

[starrysoro]

[p5x-theories]

Oh, thank you! Although, I'm sorry for not being more specific, I was hoping for specifically the part of the item description where it describes the item itself. For example, in the Chinese version, the Black-Framed Glasses say "Black-framed glasses that are said to allow the wearer to see invisible things."

[starrysoro]

As far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be anything like that?

I can only find how much they level up Synergies

Making theories again- I'm just making a guess on the Palaces

I feel like the last two Palaces could be for Magatsukami and Mementos. Yeah I am assuming the last Palace will be Mementos again though I feel like they could do a different sin with it. I'm not sure on the Palace Ruler coming before those two being anyone we know rn so that so I'm just gonna say they're an unnamed Palace Ruler

My guess is the order of Rulers will be an unnamed Ruler, Magatsukami, then Mementos. For the order of sins it's sloth, greed, then envy

With how much importance is placed on it the most likely option for greed is either Magatsukami or Mementos and if they wanted to do a different sin for Mementos then it's going to either be greed or envy

While I don't have much reasoning for Magatsukami being greed, the other sins of sloth and envy make less sense for his motivations. He's not lazy and he does so much to make sure things go the way he plans. Also he's already a famous producer in the entertainment industry, he's rich, and Divine Justice is already popular so he has no reason to be envious of anyone. So greed makes the most sense for Magatsukami, wanting Divine Justice to be more popular and wanting it to stay popular, getting rid of anyone who tries to bring it down. Still not too sure but it felt like it made the most sense out of these options

I do kinda have ideas of how the other sins would work for the other two

Sloth for the unnamed Ruler. I'm thinking that since Aran is going to sue Magatsukami that the Ruler could be related to the justice system in some way? Someone cutting corners and wanting things to be settled quickly so they won't have to do as much work

For Mementos, while sloth could still work the reason people don't do much is because their desires are being stolen. With them being returned the sin for Mementos could be different (not sure if it will be but it'd be nice to see something new). My reasoning for envy (other than the process of elimination I did with Magatsukami) is the public loves Divine Justice, seeing the downfall of celebrities and wanting to imitate Menaces to be famous themselves

Let me put my thoughts under a cut, so this post doesn't get even longer, haha:

Yeah, I basically agree with all of this! I expect there to be another Palace ruler, then Magatsukami's Palace, then the Depths of Mementos or whatever equivalent we're going to have here.

Since the remaining three Sins are Sloth, Greed, and Envy (assuming they aren't going to use Melancholy/Sorrow from Royal, or at least, not yet), that's kind of the order I'm expecting to see them in, as well. Like you said, through process of elimination, I doubt Sloth will be used for Magatsukami (because he/his scheme seems like the opposite of slothful) or Mementos/the public (since we already saw that for Mementos in the original game), so that leaves it for Chapter 6's Palace.

Between Greed and Envy, I do think it partially depends on Magatsukami's motivations, which we don't really know the full story behind. I guess you could argue the public/Mementos might be Greed if they're greedy for the entertainment that Magatsukami aims to provide? But aside from what you said above, Envy could also make a logical sense for the public/Mementos because their desires are being stolen- perhaps they envy those with desires (the Phantom Thieves), or even the ones doing the desire theft (the Menaces).

I think our biggest evidence towards Magatsukami being Greed (or at least being tied to Greed)- which you were probably referring to with "With how much importance is placed on it"- is that Igor seemed to place some importance on Greed as a sin when talking to Wonder in the Velvet Room, at the end of Chapter 3. I checked the official English translation of the scene:

Igor: "Then... did you know that one of their number is called the sinner of greed?" [...] Igor: "Yet, as we find ourselves in this world drained of its desires, greed seems almost an alien concept... But what say you? Do you believe a great sinner of greed can exist in our present world?" [...] Igor: "What would it mean for a great sinner of greed to exist in a world like this? How would they survive in a world whose desires have dried up?" Wonder: "By stealing people's desires?" / "By... generating desire?" / "By scraping by, barely surviving?" Igor: "*chuckle* What an interesting idea." Wonder: "Is there a Sinner of Greed?" / "Is that the mastermind?"

The fact that Igor specifically brings up Greed is suspicious, especially given the follow-up questions. And Wonder can ask if that's the mastermind, but Igor gives his usual non-answer. Actually, the fact that Wonder can bring that up so early on (in the overall story) makes me wonder if maybe this was a misdirect, and Greed isn't the mastermind's sin, but... actually...

I suppose the question here, really, is whether Magatsukami is going to have a Palace or not at all. In terms of video game plot format, and compared to the original game, that's certainly what we'd expect to see! And it would feel natural to change Magatsukami's heart. But we also know from Chapter 5 that Magatsukami specifically promotes people as Menaces to pit the Phantom Thieves against them for entertainment, and that promotion is what distorts them and makes them into Palace rulers. Would Magatsukami turn himself into a Palace ruler, knowing what it does...?

Well, I guess he would if he thought it would be good entertainment, perhaps, haha. But I guess what I'm getting at is that I wouldn't be too surprised if they pull some kind of twist like that here!

So I suppose my point is that, while I'm expecting it to go unknown Sloth Palace -> Magatsukami's Greed Palace -> Mementos (or equivalent) Envy Palace, I'm also expecting them to throw a curve ball in there somewhere, and do something that's unexpected and difficult to foresee, haha. Greed seems to be an important, key sin here, though, so whoever/whatever Palace uses it, we can be sure it'll be relevant to the core of the game.

Love just randomly finding glitches

Wonder why are you blue

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

First 20 pulls of the month-

Based on this meme:

[starrysoro]

Sooo I felt obligated to get Joker with this

Why?

Well, one I actually own his butler suit and two I had a cognitite for him but I didn't actually have him yet

...Why did I have both of these things for Joker but not Joker himself?

Well the profile stuff that came with the butler set was pretty cool I feel like that's understandable but the cognitite? Yeah when I was getting back into the game after having not played for a while I had enough cognitite shards to get a cognitite and me apparently not knowing how to read got a cognitite for Joker which was useless since I didn't have him

Don't question me lol

Looking cool Joker

I wanted to make a post pointing out Aran's association with fire

This thankfully won't be as long as that whole ramble about Colorful Life I did before lol- just talking about something I find interesting

It did still end up being a bit long though-

So the first thing I will mention is Aran's awakening. In it her Shadow/Gentileschi mentions "flames of hatred" (not too sure if that translation is exactly correct but it's likely something along those lines). I feel like this sets up why fire is a fairly common theme for her as it represents her strong feelings of hatred

Fire is also present in her All-Out Attack finisher with the quote "The darkest night will burn away" and the flames both behind the quote and in the painting under it. I feel like the quote in the finisher could probably be related to the quote "Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise"

Her Phantom Thief outfit also has flames on it. Specifically on the bottom front of her dress you can see a flame pattern

Lastly her theme Colorful Life also mentions fire as shown in the lyrics above. The flames mentioned at the end are the color azure. I've mentioned in the Colorful Life post how them being a shade of blue could be representative of how strong her feelings are though something I realised since then is that the flames that burst when summoning a Persona are also a shade of blue
