    Take Your Time: Persona 5 Strikers Episode 12: August 28-31 (Finale!)

    Take Your Time: Persona 5 Strikers Episode 12: August 28-31 (Finale!)

    Welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona 5 podcast by Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks in which the duo will be playing Persona 5 Strikers in sort of real time, but not quite as in real time as our Persona 5 Royal playthrough.  Tom and Jonathon continue their P5 Strikers podcast series with episode 12, our season finale as we complete our playhtough of Persona 5 Strikers!   

    After answering Tom's pop quiz question from last week and reading some viewer comments, Jonathon and Tom dig into the events of August 28 - 31, the final stretch of Persona 5 Strikers. The duo digs into full endgame spoilers, discussing what occurs during the events of P5 Strikers' final two Jails. Tom and Jonathon break down what happens to Sophia, Zenkichi, and all the other Phantom Thieves as they deal with what they thought would be a quiet trip home, but the end of their trip turns out to be anything but that. We discuss the heroes and villains culminating arcs in Persona 5 Strikers, the final combat sections, and what we overall thought of Persona 5 Strikers, Tom on his replay and Jonathon having experienced it for the first time.  

    Tom also offers his pop quiz question and more. Remember, if you'd like to be part of the show, be sure to write in with your thoughts to dornology@gmail.com, or tweet at Jonathon (@jmdornbush) and Tom (@tomrmarks).   

    Like with the end of our Persona 5 Royal run, we're so grateful to all the listeners and viewers who have tuned in and made two friends talking about Persona a part of your weeks. We love doing this show, and we're continuously blown away by the community support. We don't currently have plans in place for what or when a new season might occur, but be sure to stay tuned to our social feeds, the Dornology YouTube channel, or the podcast feeds to get updates as we plan them out.  So until the next time, nice to steal ya.

    Take Your Time: Persona 5 Strikers Episode 11: August 24 - 28

    Welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona 5 podcast by Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks in which the duo will be playing Persona 5 Strikers in sort of real time, but not quite as in real time as our Persona 5 Royal playthrough.  Tom and Jonathon continue their P5 Strikers podcast series with episode 11, focused on August 24-28, which seems to bring Persona 5 Strikers to its conclusion...or so Jonathon thought!   

    After answering Tom's pop quiz question from last week and reading some viewer comments, Jonathon and Tom dig into the events of and surrounding the Konoe Jail, which Persona 5 Strikers builds up as the Phantom Thieves' biggest challenge yet. Tom and Jonathon explore what is and isn't different about the leadup to the Jail, new Request types P5 Strikers offers, and more, before jumping into the Jail itself. The duo examines the aesthetic, the combat, and puzzle design of the Jail, as well as its climactic boss fight, before jumping into the massive story revelations of this portion of Persona 5 Strikers. We discuss what it means for the Phantom Thieves, EMMA, their nemesis, and, uh... what else there my be left to do! (Don't worry, there are no spoilers - just Jonathon hypothesizing.)  

    Tom also offers his pop quiz question and more.

    Take Your Time: Persona 5 Strikers Episode 10: August 23-24

    Take Your Time: Persona 5 Strikers Episode 10: August 23-24

    Welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona 5 podcast by Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks in which the duo will be playing Persona 5 Strikers in sort of real time, but not quite as in real time as our Persona 5 Royal playthrough.  Tom and Jonathon continue their P5 Strikers podcast series with episode 10, focused on August 23-24, which covers the next surprising jail in P5 Strikers. Plus, we're joined this week by friend of the show and Kinda Funny's Barrett Courtney to discuss such a big turn of events in the world of Persona 5 Strikers.  

    After answering Tom's pop quiz question from last week and reading some viewer comments, Jonathon, Tom, and Barrett dig into the events of August 23-24 in Persona 5 Strikers, which covers Akane's Jail, and the major revelations surrounding it. First, we discuss the unexpected turns of the Jail's intro, its incredible stealth section, and how the Phantom Thieves change in a major way. We break down how the Thieves and their friends and foes are affected, why this sequence works so well, and much more.  Then, we get into the actual Jail itself, breaking down how Persona 5 Strikers' next segment works, its unique puzzle mechanic, and how felt about P5 Strikers' continued cadence of Jails and how they do or don't follow patterns established earlier in Persona 5 Strikers. We dig into this P5 Strikers Jail's exciting (and somewhat frustrating) boss battle, the incredible music and world, and much more.  

    Tom also offers his pop quiz question and more. Remember, if you'd like to be part of the show, be sure to write in with your thoughts to dornology@gmail.com, or tweet at Jonathon (@jmdornbush) and Tom (@tomrmarks).

    Take Your Time: Persona 5 Strikers Episode 9: August 18 - 23

    Welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona 5 podcast by Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks in which the duo will be playing Persona 5 Strikers in sort of real time, but not quite as in real time as our Persona 5 Royal playthrough.  Tom and Jonathon continue their P5 Strikers podcast series with episode 9, focused on August 18-23, for an episode full of plot advancements, revelations, and much more.  

    After answering Tom's pop quiz question from last week and reading some viewer comments, Jonathon and Tom hop into a packed few days of exposition and plot development in the world of Persona 5 Strikers. With the Phantom Thieves leaving Okinawa, we discuss what Zenkichi gets up to on his own, how the Phantom Thieves plan to take some quiet time to recuperate, and how, of course, nothing quite goes to plan.  We dig into what brings the Phantom Thieves to a new hideout, what Zenkichi learns, and how the group plans to proceed. Plus, we finally start to peel back the layers of our villains, learning about their motivations, how they want to deal with the Phantom Thieves, and more about Persona 5 Strikers' story. 

    Things get personal for Zenkichi and the gang as they learn more about what's at stake, but we won't be digging into the next surprising Jail until next week's episode.  Tom also offers his pop quiz question and more. Remember, if you'd like to be part of the show, be sure to write in with your thoughts to dornology@gmail.com, or tweet at Jonathon (@jmdornbush) and Tom (@tomrmarks).

Hanefm ,

Great idea for a podcast!

Love listening to these guys talk about one of my favourite games and hearing all about their experiences with it. Would recommend for both existing fans of the game and for any newcomers looking to start their Persona 5 journey.

Thanks for this awesome podcast and for giving me the perfect excuse to replay this amazing RPG!

Weekly delight!

Thank you for doing this podcast! One of the main reasons I started the mammoth task of attempting to go through this game (I heard it was 100+ hours eek). Interesting to hear about your contrasting experiences during each week, discussing key topics throughout the game and also filled with tips on confidants and activities to do. I recommend this podcast for everyone remotely interested in starting Persona 5 Royal, as it could be an daunting task to jump in without much jrpg experience. (Don’t make the same mistake as me to leave the Palace until under a week, as u would need more time to go thru it).
