Video game modding aficionado.
Has an unhealthy obsession with P3's FeMC and Hatsune Miku.
Fan of series such as Zelda, Fire Emblem, Persona, SMT, Yakuza, etc
I've heard people complaining about being teleported to a completely different/wrong place when a battle starts but I never thought it'd be this bad jesus christ
So I hacked Wailord into being an overworld encounter and;
IT'S F***ING MASSIVE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL I'M CRYING.
(Not as big as the Orre games or PBR but definitely an improvement over the pool float sized one that appears in battle)
Zekrom chases you down when encountered in the wild areas...
(This is a hack by editing encounter tables, just in case someone believes otherwise)

In the rerelease of Persona 5 Royal, a few new unused events got left in the game files.
One such event is Ann visiting Shiho in the hospital, takes place after stealing Kamoshida's treasure, however this unused event has an unused second half shown here where Mishima shows up.
Fun fact, Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance's pre-rendered movies are 720p and 30fps, even if you play at higher resolutions.
HOWEVER, 4k 60fps versions of these exist in the game's files, and naturally the difference in quality is insane, so I'm working on a mod to enable those.
Fun fact, whenever they show the metaverse app on Joker's phone in P5, Joker's phone actually acts as a green screen in which they overlay a video onto
Phoenix Wright: Your honor. The witness claims to have seen the defendant on the night of the murder... But the guards say they heard nothing.
Edgeworth: What are you getting at, Wright??
Wright: But your honor, notice that the defendant...
*Slams hands on table*
IS DUMMY THICC
FF Origins Strangers of Paradise seemingly has a lot of framerate (and resolution/visual) issues (especially on consoles), it's because their models are genuinely the worst optimized thing I've ever seen, including stuff like 30mb geometry for (some) common enemies.
Here is the Niijima Palace cut Poker scene that was found in the 2016 beta build of Persona 5 that got recently dumped online.
This scene was ported and then recorded in the Steam version of P5R.
Please read the video description for more details!
Fun fact, Joker has voice clips in P5/R for when he dies in combat, they do of course go unused in both games.
As it turns out, Atlus in their infinite intelligence never actually *finished* the code that would call the voice clips when Joker dies in battle, leaving them unused.
New trailer teased the DLC classes.
Balthus is shown as a War Monk
Yuri is shown as a Trickster
Hapi is shown in an advanced magic cavalry class
Constance is shown as a Dark Flier
War Monk/Trickster designs match up the Awakening designs, just in the Three Houses visual style.
Random fun fact about Persona 5 Strikers.
Joker's model is one of the very first files the game loads on boot, loaded even before the title screen files, meaning that if you manage to make a bad edit to Joker's model, the game will crash on boot after 1-2 seconds of loading.
In PS3 P5, it was possible to mod an entire soundtrack per DLC outfit due to how the system worked, P5R then made it so that DLC BGM only loads in the metaverse, limiting replacements to mostly combat bgm. However, this unintended functionality can be restored via a code patch.
Persona 5 Strikers was announced to be coming to PC and I'd like to remind you all that unless by some miracle they change how the file system works, even on PC you ain't modding shit for a good while.
Hopefully only a few fixes/touch ups left and i'll probably be able to record/showcase the sae palace cut poker scene tomorrow.
Here's a small teaser (recorded in P5R Steam ver.)
(I did not discover this, I was simply made aware)
During the new FEH Anniversary Interview video, there is a very short clip of the War Phase Gronder intro cutscene that is entirely different from the current one in the game, most notably, Edelgard and Claude have new models?
Fun fact, Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance's pre-rendered movies are 720p and 30fps, even if you play at higher resolutions.
HOWEVER, 4k 60fps versions of these exist in the game's files, and naturally the difference in quality is insane, so I'm working on a mod to enable those.
I've had someone approach me privately to ask me this, I'm also sure there are other people curious about this but won't ask for whatever reason.
In any case, here's the list of "Three Houses Female Generic Class Model Chest Size Modifier"
For the heck of it, I tried forcing the switch version of P5R into being 60fps, and it just, works??????
Considering the PS3 version of P5 has a million bugs when forced into 60fps I did not expect things to go this well (and yes, I know PC and PS5 will be 60fps).
Fire Emblem Engage Battle Outfits and More Outfits mod has been updated with new outfits corresponding to each of the three house leaders' Officers Academy uniform!
This was done by modifying existing (but unused) fell emblem version models.
Persona 5 Dancing fully supports Akechi saying the game's title as well as loading as the dancer in the main menu (With the Will Power DLC installed of course), however, because this was never coded into the game, the main menu will bug out and never cycle to a different dancer.
In the 2016 build of Persona 5 we can finally find assets of a cut map from Sae's Palace, in this room is where the cut poker game scene would have taken place.
Here's some footage of this room ported to P5R, there's nothing to interact with in this room aside from the doors.
@UltimaShadowX
There's a boss model in SoP that's 90mb (the geometry alone, no textures or anything) and it has like 1.8 million tris and im just like, who let this go through?
Here's a very (not) fun fact.
Whether a character is left handed or right handed in battle in P5 is controlled entirely by a hardcoded array of flags in the game's executable...
If you edited your volume in P4U bevause of the low volume issue, GO RESET YOUT VOLUME BACK TO NORMAL BEFORE UPDATING YOUR GAME.
THEY DO NOT RESET YOUR AUDIO, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
(Video attached of how bad this is, lower volume before listening)
I've found voice audio for most of these because it seems they will have a linked Engage attack with existing Emblems.
Corrin and Camilla
Ike and Soren
Lyn and Hector
Lucina and Chrom
While these might be "obvious", there exists audio of the former saying the latter's name
The 4 Emblem data found in this new updated data are Hector, Soren, Chrom and Veronica (?).
There is also a DLC class for both male and female units whose assets are shortened as "Thr", so no guesses there.
It also seems like Robin (male?) will be part of Chrom's emblem too!
So with the (possibly very real) DLC info we've gotten on the possibility of Anna being a new playable characters, I'd like to remind people of a fun little thing that may or may not end up meaning something.
Fun fact about Fire Emblem Engage, while there's no data that really implies they were meant to be playable at some point, both Queen Ève and King Morion do have a fully working voice set, just no Engage related lines.
Here's a video showcasing their critical hit quotes.
Game crashed on an attempted autosave (or at least I assume so), I then the game crashed on boot to I put in my smash cart to test, smash crashed on boot too, so I rebooted my Switch.
Now everything on my Switch looks like this, even the cart games are asking for a redownload...
So I heard Bulbasaur and Squirtle had data in the game despite being potentially unobtainable, so I decided to test if they worked, and sure enough they do...

Persona 5 Royal Custom Bonus Tweaks mod has been updated! New additions as well as adjustments for mod compatibility.
New features like new custom BGM for use in boss battles, the ability for custom bosses to use custom P3/P4 styled cutins, etc!
Found what appears to be an unused variant of Joker's PT run animation.
The existing variant has Joker adjust his gloves while running, there is an exact copy of that animation set, but that specific animation being replaced by one where Joker looks around seemingly confused.
For anyone wondering what the new tittle screen for Three houses looks like when you clear Maddening without New Game+, I've managed to do it, so here it is!
@J0ezah
They're making a mountain out of a molehill, the items are complete garbage anyway.
In the first area of the game, the damage item doesn't even break 18 damage as a critical hit, it's THAT bad.
It's so strange seeing all the non Galar dex pokemon (from the extra 35) having their own proper behavior when encountered in the wild.
While Zekrom will relentlessly chase you down, the middle stage of the alolan starters will instead approach you with genuine curiosity.
One of the factors why P5R has much faster loading times than its predecessor is because during the game's boot sequence (such as the Atlus logo) they preload a bunch of commonly used assets to keep in memory, such as all regular party member models, combat animations, etc
I've been informed (and verified this to be true) of an oversight by the developers of Three Houses.
In the tutorials relating to the Gambit mechanics, there is one particular image where they used (presumably) Edelgard's original hair color instead of white.
"Persona 5 Tactica seems to be doing some weird authentication with the hca that makes custom BGM not work"
Me, with my massive brain: "why not just NOT use hca"
Gotta say, it's a weird funny feeling seeing screenshots/gifs of my P3 Dancing FeMC mod being used during all this discourse these past few days, I didn't really expect much people to know/care about it, I expected it to be some niche mod that maybe 5 people used/knew about lol.
More (modding/code patching) suffering in Persona 5 Royal with Futaba to make her outfits ACTUALLY MATTER SOMEWHERE, now with All out Attacks included!
Fun fact;
The PS4 version of Persona 4 Dancing has a unique interpolation bug that causes Miku's hair to absolutely freak out for a single frame during her dance in the song Heaven, this bug is not present in the Vita version nor is it viewable by dumping the animation.
Unused event found in Switch version of P5R, all of the assets for this event were missing from the files of P5R, however, they can be found in the PS3 version of P5 and thus the event restored.
Some folks might recognize this one too!
FE THREE HOPES DATAMINE / SPOILERS!
This seems to be the full playable roster of the game bar DLC/Updates (maybe DLC incoming? three dummy/placeholder slots exist).
For those lucky few who got their PQ2 USA copy early from amazon, I've got a neat little patch.
It forces "canon" names within the game's code which in turn allows a name such as Yu Narukami to be displayed perfectly.
Be sure to read the instructions!
Re:
@ScrambledFaz
's load time comparisons for P5S that everyone is QRT'ing and going "Yeah P5 on Switch will run like shit too."
THIS IS NOT ATLUS' FAULT, IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM WERE THEY INVOLVED IN THE CODE SIDE OF THINGS.
THIS IS KT'S GARBAGE UNOPTIMIZED ENGINE.
Found the code on P5R PC that controls various voicelines during combat, meaning I can patch in more voicelines for Joker where he doesn't have them, like reacting to being healed.
