Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 23 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of September 15-21, a brief week with some key character moments, and an unexpected resolution to the festival/typhoon we've been teased about being on the way.

Jonathon and Tom run down the almost-full week of free time the two get to enjoy, coming off the tumultuous and stressful weeks we've had recently. However, we do get the opportunity for another set of introspective moments with Ken and Koromaru, thanks to the continuation of the optional hangouts that popped up this week (full spoilers if you haven't played those!).

In addition to that, we of course break down the free afternoons and evenings we have in a rather quick week of P3R, while also discussing what occurs around what should have been a festive moment. With an unexpected encounter with Takaya, and an unfortunate turn of events, we sail through the week while also answering some of your questions, discussing this week's pop quiz, and much more.

Next week's episode will be focused on the days of September 22-28.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 22 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of September 8-14, which allows us to dig into a lot of important character moments.

Spoiler and content warnings for this week: As we dig into the discussions of Chidori and Junpei's relationship and what we learn of their situation this week, please be advised that we do briefly discuss topics of self-harm throughout the episode as they pertain to the storyline.

Additionally, Tom and Jonathon break down a large number of S.E.E.S. character-driven moments from throughout the week. However, these moments are technically optional and it is possible you may not have experienced them yet! Basically, any chance this week Tom and Jonathon had to tackle a "!!" moment from Ken, Shinji, Mitusuru, and Koromaru, they did. These discussions take up the bulk of our conversation this week, so if you have not experienced those, we recommend coming back to this episode after you have, or enjoy our spoiler-filled take on those events and give them a try after if you so wish.

We do of course spend time breaking down what may have otherwise gone on in our free time, as Tom continues to outpace Jonathon on the social stats, while Jonathon jumps into social links Tom maybe forgets are even in the game. But, yes, this week is a doozy of character background info, important lore dumps, and more, so if you have not experienced these scenes yet, come back once you have!

Next week's episode will be focused on the days of September 15-21.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 13 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of July 8-13, which includes one less day than normal but plenty more story reveals and character revelations than your average week!

The boys jump in to a story-dense week by going over the plethora of free time opportunities and eventful conversations of the week. As we're nearing an exams week, the duo digs into whether they're using their free time to study up, or if Jonathon and Tom are OK with not getting top of the class this time around. In addition to that, we discuss some of the social links we've focused on in a week where the students of Geoukkan High are too busy to pal around.

But naturally, the bulk of our conversation this week revolves around the major story and character details we learn about S.E.E.S., shadows, the Dark Hour, and how it all impacts our gang. There are multiple days of major reveals to discuss, so we go in-depth on our thoughts about what we learn regarding the gang's backstories, the advancements to the main plot, and just why exactly everyone seems to be in a bummer mood by the end of the week. From Junpei's anger to Yukari's frustrations to Mitsuru's backstory and so much more, this week in Persona 3 Reload offers no shortage of impactful scenes for us to discuss.

And, of course, we also talk about all the study sessions happening throughout the week, because even when your worldview shifts, you've still got to make time to study for P3R's exams.

For those looking to play along, the next episode of Take Your Time will cover the events of July 19, which again is one less day than normal.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 12 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of June 30 - July 7, which includes a deep dive on the latest Full Moon Operation, or, as the kids are definitely calling it, the latest FMO.

Ahead of that major story event, however, there is a ton of free time discussion to be had. So Tom and Jonathon first dig into a host of free time hangouts, job opportunities, and more. We get to the bottom of what Tom's social link hangout has been (thank you to all of those concerned citizens writing in to help him solve the issue!), and progress a number of social links further, including another maxed-out one!

There's also some rumination on unexpected side details we discover of the world, another encounter with the fridge, and more to discuss from the week. But, of course, the centerpiece discussion of Episode 12 is Persona 3 Reload's latest full moon, which sees S.E.E.S. seize the scene with an infiltration of an unexpected new location. We dig into the character moments, boss battles, and fallout of the latest operation, as well as our thoughts on how it stacks up with what's come before it. Plus, a new pop quiz question, some listener thoughts, and plenty more.

Why did we go off-topic and start discussing candy? What is the solution to the mystery of Tom's social link blocks? What out-of-left-field Pop Quiz question will rock us into next week? Find out all in this week's Take Your Time!

For those looking to play along, the next episode of Take Your Time will cover the events of July 8-13 , which includes one less day than we would normally cover! We will also be diving into the next Social Link we've completed, which is the Track Team (Miyamoto).

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 11 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of June 23-29, which includes a week's worth of free time, but with a handful of important character moments and progression. Plus, our first full Social Link discussion!

Tom and Jonathon dig into the week's activities with a breakdown of the day and evening free time opportunities the week held. That includes further digging into the new hangout opportunities at the dorm, a bunch of progression in our various social link lines, and more. We also get to discuss some important scenes featuring Akihiko and Shinjiro, as well as Yukari and Fuuka. We take a look at how relationships are impacted, plus the teases for the upcoming weeks, including exams in just a few weeks.

But the week also gives us the opportunity to revisit Tartarus and check in on our continued thoughts, including more than a few tangents that left even us confused. Plus, now that Tom and Jonathon have both completed the Kenji social link and maxed out that friendship, we discuss what we thought of the plotline, its place in the game, and how we're feeling about it in comparison to the wider social link opportunities.

What did we think of Kenji? Why is Jonathon appearing to shrink in the video? Can Tom get through Jonathon's tangents? Find out all in this week's Take Your Time!

For those looking to play along, the next episode of Take Your Time will cover the events of June 3 - July 7, which includes an extra day than we would normally!

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 10 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of June 16-22, which includes a week of free time opportunities, the introduction of some new nighttime activities at the dorm, and more.

Tom and Jonathon dig into the week's activities by, of course, breaking down each of their free time choices for the week. Jonathon desperately tries to keep up with Tom's social link choices, and Tom has to make some swerves when it comes to his hangouts thanks to some unexpected roadblocks. But in addition to that, the duo gets a chance to...tour the dorm we've all been living in for the last two and a half months?

Yes, though a surprisingly late tour nonetheless, this early week activity opens up our evening choices greatly, allowing the hosts to dig into more hangouts with the members of S.E.E.S., increase social stats, cook, read some books, and more. Plus, we discuss the brief introduction of Koromaru, some surprising character moments throughout the week, and more.

We'll be discussing the next section of Tartarus next week for those who haven't jumped in as we near the next full moon. But before then we also have a new Pop Quiz, some listener comments and questions, and more.

For those looking to play along, the next episode of Take Your Time will cover the events of June 23-29!

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 9 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of June 9-15, which offers the members of S.E.E.S. a chance to debrief following last week's full moon operation.

As last week ended in a climactic showdown that brought with it new revelations for the team, a new party member, and some important bonding moments, this week offers some insight into how the protagonist and team are grappling with what occurred. Tom and Jonathon dig into the fallout of that full moon, including Fuuka's decision on whether to join the team, as well as Yukari's feelings about the situation and what the team has now learned.

The week also gives us the introduction of some new gameplay elements with the reveal of Theurgy attacks, and of course the cool new outfits that come along with that moment. But in addition to life in Tartarus, the week also gives Jonathon and Tom a chance to further dig into some new and existing social links, develop their skills, and more. The duo dissect how their paths are both similar and divergent, in addition to offering their thoughts on some of the character relationships so far.

Plus, we of course have a new Pop Quiz, some listener comments and questions, and more.

For those looking to play along, the next episode of Take Your Time will cover the events of June 16-22!

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 8 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of June 2-8, which brings along with it a new party member, a new full moon operation, and some important story and character-building moments.

Before we get to that climactic final day of this week in P3R, Jonathon and Tom break down what they did throughout the rest of the week. There's plenty of free time to discuss how social links are progressing, jobs, and more. But even beyond that, there are several key character and story-related moments of Persona 3 Reload to dive into for the week.

That naturally includes some of the continued investigation of what spooooky ghost goings-on may be, well, going on at Geoukkan High, as well as the re-appearance of a mysterious character as the player, Yukari, and Junpei venture out on a risky adventure.

Then, of course, the hosts dig into this week's full moon, including a dive into the events involving Fuuka Yamagishi, some startling revelations (for the characters, at least), and just how tough Mitusuru and Yukari are. As the full moon arrives, we break down our thoughts on the next boss battle, how the members of S.E.E.S. are handling things, and some of your thoughts on the adventure of the week! Plus, we of course have a new Pop Quiz, some listener comments, and more.

Yes, summer is in full swing (despite it not officially starting for a couple of more weeks), so the students of Geoukkan High get a chance to show off the latest season's fashion. But, of course, there's also a full week of free time to discuss! Jonathon and Tom run through what they do each day of this final week of May and the first day of June, including discussions around new Social Links for both hosts, some social stat rank ups, and more.

But the week isn't only about free time. While there aren't necessarily major story milestones, there are plenty of character-building moments to dive into this week. Tom and Jonathon discuss some hilarious Junpei moments, an important evening with Akihiko, and some new goings-on at school. Perhaps most importantly, Tom finally finds out what happens when the fridge has some free space in it!

As we're also just about to head into a new full moon, we spend some time this week digging into the next section of Tartarus, including Tom's first impressions. Plus we've also got some listener comments and questions, a new Pop Quiz, and more.

Some Spoiler-conscious Timecodes:

9:45 - 11:33: Chihiro's first Social Link scene

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 6 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of May 18-25, which includes the inaugural midterms, as well as a couple of days after exams with some free time to spare. And, yes, despite joking about having such a quick week to cover, this show is somehow longer than last week's.

Take Your Time's sixth episode focuses in on the midterm exams that the P3R main character and their fellow S.E.E.S. members must partake in. The exams themselves offer a unique respite and shakeup to the Persona 3 Reload formula, so Tom and Jonathon talk about how they feel about the exams' inclusion, a little bit about the questions themselves, and of course how they fared in taking them.

After P3R's midterms are over, though, the duo dives into a few days of free time, which allow us to pick up with our regularly scheduled social link opportunities. But that's not all these few extra days offer, as Jonathon and Tom also discuss the introduction of gardening to P3R's calendar, as well as exam results day, and a couple teases of story here and there. But with such a relatively quick in-game set of days, the duo answers plenty of YOUR questions, with topics ranging from notetaking to NG+ to food and so much more. And, of course, Tom offers another Pop Quiz question before closing out the week.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 5 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of May 12-17, which includes plenty of free time in the leadup to our first exams with P3R's inaugural midterms! Learn about how you can support the show and get ad-free, day-early episodes at our ⁠Take Your Time Patreon⁠ at ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/TakeYourTime⁠⁠. Take Your Time's fifth episode revolves around the quest for Academics, as Jonathon and Tom race against the clock to see if they can win Mitsuru's favor as smart boys or be forever cast aside as dummies among the S.E.E.S. Crew. More specifically, the two break down how they spent their days ahead of exams in Persona 3 Reload's month of May. This includes everything from learning about the May blues and other science experiments (leading to some personal study tangents), to how they spent afternoons and evenings with a limited set of social link opportunities available. The hosting duo also digs a bit into two new storytelling devices introduced this week, with the arrival of both linked episodes and study sessions. The two dissect the differences between these and standard social links in Persona 3 Reload, and discuss the climactic showdown as they study to their brains' content and hope for the fabled level 3 Academics. Plus, they answer some fan questions and read listener comments, introduce a new trivia question, and offer a shocking (aka, not that shocking) apology from Jonathon.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 4 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of May 5-11, which includes our first full moon operation as a member of S.E.E.S., plenty of free time, and the introduction of Elizabeth's Requests!

Small spoiler warning: We discuss Kenji's social link storyline from 29:21-32:31 and 35:18-36:34, covering some information from his third major hangout. We also briefly discuss a Persona 5 confidant during these timestamps as well. Skip over them if you haven't experienced them yet!

Take Your Time's fourth episode revolves around a big breakdown of the events of May 9 in-game, including how S.E.E.S. tackles an unexpected challenge, Tom and Jonathon's thoughts on this first "event" moment for the gang, and the character implications of what transpires. We dig into what is and isn't working narratively, mechanically, and emotionally for us so far, including how Persona 3 Reload's May operation has marked a shift in Tom's expectations going forward.

We also dig into Persona 3 Reload's latest batch of free time, including some free time hangouts with Kenji, Maya, and more. Tom and Jonathon discuss what it's like to attend P3R's club, how Elizabeth's requests are introduced, and answer some fan questions. Plus, Tom introduces a new catchphrase.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 21 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of September 1-7, meaning we jump into the next Full Moon Operation, as well as plenty of other key character moments!

That's right, another FMO has arrived (that still hasn't caught on, has it?), as Tom and Jonathon dig into a packed week of battles, befriending, and...book reading? Yes, as a new school semester starts in Persona 3 Reload, Jonathon and Tom recount some of their day to day activities, as despite this being a story-heavy week, there's still plenty of free time to cover.

However, there are plenty of moments to highlight as we learn more about S.E.E.S., Strega, and their story. We dissect the further steps in the relationship between Junpei and Chidori, including the climactic events between them during the full moon. We learn a bit more from Takaya, which deepens our understanding of Persona. And we welcome another member (back) to S.E.E.S., as Shinji finally, officially joins the gang.

That all culminates in some discussion of Tartarus and the big Full Moon boss battle. We offer some thoughts on our latest batch of team members and their abilities, while Tom (and maybe even Jonathon) reveals a fatal flaw as they entered this week's big boss fight.

Plus, we read some of your wonderful comments, offer a new pop quiz, and more!

Slight spoilers from 51:22 - 52:55 about Kamiki's first social link scene, and from 1:04:00-1:05:08 about Maya and Kenji's social link endings.

Next week's episode will be focused on the days of September 8-14!

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 3 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of April 28 - May 4, as well as our first impressions of P3R's Tartarus dungeon. The duo dives into a full week of free time in the world of Persona 3 Reload, discussing our continuing experience with some Confidants, how we're spending evenings now with the introduction of the internet to the Iwatodai dorm, and what we're prioritizing in the early weeks of the game. Take Your Time's fourth episode also dips a little into the brief looks into the story this week, including some new details to Akihiko's life, daily school goings-on, and much more. But of course, we also use this week to offer our first thoughts on Tartarus! Going through the first 20 floors, Tom offers his first considerations of Persona 3 Reload's dungeon, while Jonathon tries desperately hard to not spoil his overall feelings and stick to the first section. The duo digs into Tartarus' challenges, Twilight Fragments, structure, randomness, Shuffle Time, and plenty more. The two hosts also dive into some questions from our Patreon patrons, offer a new trivia question, and maybe come up with a t-shirt idea.   Learn about how you can support the show and get ad-free, day-early episodes at our ⁠Take Your Time Patreon⁠ at https://www.patreon.com/TakeYourTime.

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.

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.

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.

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.

After reading some comments and answering Tom's pop quiz question, Tom and Jonathon explore some of the surprising story beats leading up to P5 Strikers' fourth Jail. The duo digs into the clever tone shifts Persona 5's sequel introduces ahead of the Okinawa Jail before breaking down P5 Strikers' unique approach to its fourth Jail. We discuss how Okinawa's Jail differs from the past three jails in Strikers, what story revelations it holds for Sophia, the overarching mysteries of the sequel, and more.  Jonathon and Tom pick apart some important tape recordings the gang hears in the metaverse, talk about how the Okinawa Jail's gameplay does and doesn't put a twist on the Jails so far, and dig into a wonderful Ryuji moment. We also discuss a little about what the gang gets up to after completing the Jail and before they embark on their journey to a new location.

After reading some comments and answering Tom's peculiar pop quiz question, Tom and Jonathon break down the story-heavy next chapter of their Persona 5 Strikers playthrough, discussing the events of a brief stop in Kyoto, and the gang's trip to Okinawa. First, the podcast discusses Strikers' deviation from its prior formula as we dig not only onto the Phantom Thieves' ongoing Persona 5 sequel story, but also learn a bit more about Strikers newcomer Zenkichi. We dig into the personal revelations Strikers offers about his work, his family life, and the intersection of the two, as we meet a Phantom Phreak, share a nice meal, and bring just a bit of happiness to Zenkichi's tough days.  Then, we discuss the first part of the Phantom Thieves' trip to Okinawa, including their boat trip, arrival and somewhat strange investigation as they look for Madicce's hidden lab, and, as you would hope for on Persona 5's summer vacation road trip sequel, a day at the beach.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 20 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of August 25-31...and also Austin Powers Goldmember, for some reason. Yes, as we get into a standard week in the world of Persona 3 Reload, Tom and Jonathon dig into a final pre-Full Moon series of days. That includes the final week of the film festival, as Tom recounts his daily cinema journeys, while Jonathon keeps a tight-knit circle of social links for the week. As we speed through a relatively normal week in P3R, we also get a moment to focus on some Junpei-related character development, as he searches for his purpose in the world and stumbles upon a potential new friend. We also get some updates on Ken, and generally take it easy during the last week of summer vacation. Plus, we briefly touch on the next section of Tartarus, discuss the Maya social link, offer a new pop quiz question, and more! Next week's episode will be focused on the days of September 1-7, which includes our next Full Moon Operation!

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 6, focused on August 10 - 13, as the Phantom Thieves engage with the Sapporo Jail, taking on Hyodo and diving into a frosty Jail.  

After reading some pop quiz question answers and comments from the Take Your Time community, Tom and Jonathon dig into Hyodo's Jail, a wintery not-so-wonderland of frost that the duo breaks down, as well as some overall thoughts on Jails thus far. We discuss what is and isn't working about the formula, how the Sapporo Jail of Persona 5 Strikers does and doesn't shake things up, and some of the combat and puzzle elements of the Jail.   

Jonathon and Tom also dissect Hyodo's rein as Jail monarch, the surprising revelations about her story, and what it means for the overall mysteries of Persona 5 Strikers so far. We also take a look at Haru's emotional journey, and how this Jail gives her some important moments to shine, while we also discuss the group's stay in Sapporo, some fun side activities, and more.   

Tom also offers his pop quiz question and more.

After reading some pop quiz question answers and comments from the Take Your Time community, Tom and Jonathon discuss the next leg of the Phantom Thieves trip, as the gang hits the road yet again and arrives in Sapporo. They discuss what the Thieves encounter when they first head into town on a trip to a bathhouse, as well as checking in on how we're feeling about P5 Strikers' requests system. The duo then breaks down the events of the next few days, as the Phantom Thieves meet with Zenkichi to discuss their potential new target, the gang learns about their new surroundings, and Yusuke has a lot of concerns about... milk.

Jonathon and Tim dissect the story over these next few days leading up to the new Jail, including our first encounter with the new Monarch, how Strikers twists up its story flow thus far, and some personal developments in the Phantom Thieves lives.

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).

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 4, focused on August 2 - 7, as the Phantom Thieves tackle P5 Strikers' second Jail, ruled by the Monarch Ango Natsume.

After reading some pop quiz question answers and comments from the Take Your Time community, Tom and Jonathon dig into the second jail, facing off with the Prince of Nightmares himself, Ango Natsume. The duo discusses what they do and don't like about P5 Strikers' second Jail, how the meta-writing of its story comes through in the writing, and more about how it builds on the structure of Alice's Jail. The duo also discusses the boss fight against Dragon-Ango, how Strikers' battles are building off of some surprising character beats, and more.

But because there's a surprising amount of story to get through this week, the duo breaks down Ango's path as a Jail ruler, including his motives for stealing Desires, the people around him, and what redemption could mean for the character. That also means we discuss some of the surprising gray area Strikers finds itself in when it comes to depicting its villains so far, while also reflecting back on how this Jail tees up some key character growth for Yusuke. Jonathon and Tom also talk about what happens after the Jail, including the setup for new goings-on with EMMA's creator, the Phantom Thieves' next plans, and more. Plus, the introduction of Requests, some cute character moments, and our new pal, Gramps.

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). And as always, nice to steal ya.

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 2, focused on July 31 - August 2, as the Phantom Thieves hit the road and venture away from home for their new adventure.  

After addressing Tom's dual Pop Quiz questions and some viewer comments from last week, we dive into the aftermath of Alice's Jail as the Phantom Thieves discuss what to do next in Persona 5 Strikers. With a camper and an agreement with Zenkichi, they hit the open road and plan their trip, hoping to pick up new Jails and Monarchs along the way, and have some fun summer break times along the way.  

The duo digs into the Phantom Thieves' arrival in Sendai and the discovery of a new potential Monarch, while discussing what it's like to have the Phantom Thieves travel outside the world we knew in Persona 5. Jonathon and Tom discuss what they like so far about the introduction to cooking, this new location, and how the story is intriguingly mirroring but evolving Persona 5's emotional beats.  Tom also offers his pop quiz question and more.

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 2, focused on July 27 - 31, aka the entirety of Alice's Jail, Persona 5 Strikers' take on Palaces.

The duo digs into P5 Strikers' first big showcase for its combat, dungeon design, and the major ways in which it has translated Persona 5 Royal's systems into a more action-based game. Jonathon and Tom open the discussion by offering their broad thoughts on the Jail as a whole, whether they think it's a good introduction to all the new systems, how it differs from Palaces, and more. Next, they dig into combat and the many changes that have been made but that still adapt Persona 5 Royal's mechanics. While we don't exhaustively cover all combat mechanics, we offer some top-level thoughts, discuss party abilities, Persona usefulness, new ideas like evading and environmental attacks, and more.

Then, they dig into the story and flow of Alice's Jail that sets off Persona 5 Strikers' overarching story. They explore how Prison Keeps, Cores, battles, and exploration all flow together, how they feel about Alice's story within the Jail, and what it's like to go after the first Monarch in Persona 5 Strikers to return people's Desires. We also dig into some of the Phantom Thieves time with Hasegawa, whether they trust him, and what the larger story may involve. Jonathon offers his conspiracy theories about Sophia and Hasegawa, and then the duo set up where Strikers will take us into next week's episode.

Tom also offers his first pop quiz question of the season, 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). And as always, nice to steal ya.

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 officially kick off their P5 Strikers podcast series with episode 1, focused on July 23 - 27. (We know we said we'd go through the entire palace for this episode, but we decided to break things up to make sure we had enough time to discuss all the story at the beginning of Persona 5 Strikers!) 

The duo digs into P5 Strikers' story opening starting with the events of July 23 through July 27, covering the reintroduction of the Phantom Thieves, new characters like Inspector Hasegawa, Sophia, and Alice Hiiragi, and dig into the new central mysteries Persona 5 Strikers' story sets up.   We also discuss what it's like to dip into the world of Persona 5 Strikers' take on palaces, which we now know as Jails. Jonathon offers some of his guesses as to what's going on at the start of P5 Strikers' tale, Tom gushes over his love for Sophia, and we discuss plenty more!  

Tom also offers his first pop quiz question of the season, and Jonathon begs for help in figuring out a Persona Pseudonym replacement.

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.  

Thanks to all of our Take Your Time fans and your amazing support, we're back for a follow-up season, picking up after our Persona 5 Royal playthrough to jump into Persona 5 Strikers. In episode 0, Jonathon and Tom break down what you can expect from this sequel season, what our suggestions are for those playing along, and our experiences with the game prior to this P5 Strikers playthrough. 

Like last season, Tom will have a leg up on Jonathon, who will essentially be playing Strikers fresh, so please, like with our P5 Royal playthrough, no spoilers for the sake of him and any listeners and viewers playing through.  

We're so excited to be back, and hope you'll join us for this wonderful new adventure and continue our journey with the Phantom Thieves, and with all of you, too.  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).

What's bonkin' everybody? Welcome to Take Your Time, a podcast by Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks where the duo will be playing Persona 5 Royal in real time, playing along with P5R's in-game calendar. Join Tom and Jonathon for episode 50 as we dive into the week of March 14 - 20 (but also double back to March 13) in the world of P5R, as we finish up our Persona 5 Royal playthrough! The bittersweet end is here, but we've got a lot to talk about.  

As our Persona 5 Royal playthrough continues, and reaches its conclusion, Jonathon and Tom first take some time to discuss what our plans for the show are now that we've wrapped up P5R. And, slight spoilers, we're going on a bit of a break! With a few big life things coming up, we're going to take some time off after this first season of TYT, but it's by no means the end of the show! No, instead, we'll be starting up Persona 5 Strikers this July! Stay tuned to the channel, and our Twitter profiles, for more details, but much like the Phantom Thieves, we'll be back soon enough. (Except this time, you will see it coming.)  

But before we get to what's to come, we reflect on Persona 5 Royal's ending, jumping into the events of the last week of Persona 5 Royal, as well as a day of events we forgot to cover last week! (Hey, it took 50 episodes to make a mistake like that.) We dig into Joker's romantic plans, or lack thereof, for White Day, Sojiro's smooth assistance, and what this nice slice of normalcy is like for the P5 lead before the conclusion.  

Then, we jump into Royal's final couple of days, saying goodbye to the wider Persona 5 cast, both big and small, diving into where the story leaves them, and reflecting on Joker's final moments with the wider P5 ensemble. Then, we discuss the shocking final scenes of P5R, including Persona 5 Royal's brand new animated outro, as well as P5R's new post-credits scene, what it might mean for the story, and so much more.  Plus, our Persona 5 podcast offers another Pop Quiz question, answers listener questions, and a lot more.    

Thank you so much to all of our listeners and viewers who have been with us on this incredible journey. Whether you started listening day one or just yesterday, or are checking this show out long after it's been recorded, we're so moved by your support for this show that started as a silly little project between two friends. We've discovered a wonderful, supportive community of Persona fans, and we're so grateful for your support since the show began. We can't wait for what the future holds, and we're excited to return, but in the mean time, be sure to write in with your thoughts to dornology@gmail.com, or tweet at Jonathon (@jmdornbush) and Tom (@tomrmarks). And as always, nice to steal ya.

Welcome to Take Your Time, a podcast by Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks where the duo will be playing Persona 5 Royal in real time, playing along with P5R's in-game calendar. Join Tom and Jonathon for episode 49 as we dive into the week of March 7 - 13 in the world of P5R, which means we have a week of skipped days! But that free time allows us to have a very special guest on, patron saint of Take Your Time, Andrew Goldfarb.  

Yes, we've mentioned him practically every week on the show, and finally Andrew joins us to discuss how his enthusiasm for Persona 5 led Jonathon, Tom, Barrett, and others to play P5, what his overall thoughts are on having platinumed base P5 in Japanese and English, as well as platinuming P5, and much more. With no in-game events to discuss this week, Jonathon and Tom thought it would be a great moment to have on the man who essentially caused this show to exist, his overall love for Persona as a series, what he recommends for those listening and watching if they'd like to explore more beyond P5 Royal, and much more in this wide-ranging discussion.  

We're gearing up for the finale of our P5 Royal playthrough next week, so be sure to send in your last Persona 5 Royal questions, comments, critiques and praise either in the comment or by email! We've loved taking this journey with you all, and hope you're excited for the end to our journey with Persona 5 Royal.  Plus, our Persona 5 podcast offers another Pop Quiz question, answers listener questions, and a lot more.  Be sure to write in with your thoughts to dornology@gmail.com, or tweet at Jonathon (@jmdornbush) and Tom (@tomrmarks).

Welcome to Take Your Time, a podcast by Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks where the duo will be playing Persona 5 Royal in real time, playing along with P5R's in-game calendar. Join Tom and Jonathon for episode 48 as we dive into the week of Feb. 28 - March 6 in the world of P5R, which means we dive into a couple of key days of story as Persona 5 continues to wrap up.  

With a shorter week in store, Jonathon and Tom cover the two days' worth of Persona 5 Royal plot progression, as the gang starts to discuss what the future has in store for them. We break down the group's respective interests, how they may be parting ways, what they all want to get up to now that the Persona 5 Phantom Thieves are seemingly no more, and in general where they see their lives going after P5's story. It's an emotional, sad, and stirring couple of days, but we're not done yet, so continue to join us as we look toward the end of the Phantom Thieves' story. 

 On top of that this week, because there's such a focus on the party, Jonathon and Tom decide to offer their long-awaited ranking of the entire P5R party! We rank from best to least best our favorite members of the Phantom Thieves, what we loved and didn't quite connect with, and much more.  But, of course, these are just our rankings! Be sure to let us know your rankings of the party members wherever you enjoy the show!

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 10 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of August 18-24. As we return to a bit of a normal cadence, we dig into a week full of free time, though not without its story teases that continue to build off of recent key events in the world of S.E.E.S.

The bulk of the episode is, of course, spent breaking down our free time activities. From social links nearing the end of their stories, to actually finishing some, Jonathon and Tom make good progress on proving the main character has at least one or two friends who will hang out every day for a week straight. We also dig into what it's like if you decide to hang out with the movie festival that is currently going on in Iwatodai.

The week also offers the opportunity to dig into some scenes as we get to know the newer characters better, including an impromptu meeting with Takaya, plenty of time with our good pup Koromaru, and more.

We also take the time to dig into your comments about some of our recent discussions about Persona 3 Reload, including pacing and character development, as well as comparisons to the wider Persona library. And, yes, it's the return of every listener's favorite game show...what is Tom holding!?

Next week's episode will be focused on the days of August 25-31, as we round out the month and approach a Full Moon! We'll likely dig into Tartarus next week, so be sure to dip in if you can by then.

Join Tom and Jonathon for episode 47 as we dive into the week of Feb.  21 - 27 in the world of P5R, which means we don't have any days' activities to discuss! But fear not, we're joined by friend of the show Barrett Courtney for a special ranking of the P5 palaces!  

As our Persona 5 Royal podcast and playthrough continues but we wait for new events to occur, we dig into a long-requested feature on the show - ranking all of P5R's palaces. (Yes, we do start the show saying we'll rank party members too, but as is our nature, we spend so much time debating and discussing the palaces that we'll move party ranking to another episode!)  Tom and Jonathon bring their respective P5R palace rankings to the table, as they attempt to come up with a definitive Take Your Time Persona 5 Royal ranking of every palace from best to least best (because we still found some things to like even about our least favorite). 

Barrett joins us to offer his ranking as well, plus help serve as tiebreaker and conscience for Jonathon and Tom, keeping them from making any overly dramatic (or wrong) decisions.  But, of course, these are just our rankings! Be sure to let us know your rankings of the palaces wherever you enjoy the show!  Plus, our Persona 5 podcast offers another Pop Quiz question, answers listener questions, and a lot more.  Be sure to write in with your thoughts to dornology@gmail.com, or tweet at Jonathon (@jmdornbush) and Tom (@tomrmarks).

We also use the week to give our overall thoughts on the wider Persona 5 Royal additions - how did all the new content hit us, what did we think of Akechi, Yoshizawa, and Maruki's integration into the base Persona 5 storyline, how does the new Royal semester work in the context of the larger story, and much more.

We dig into the fight itself, how the events of the beginning of February impact Joker, Akechi, Yoshizawa, and the rest of the Phantom Thieves, and so much more. In fact, it's all so exciting and so revelatory for Jonathon that he frequently confuses moments.

Hello and welcome to Take Your Time, a Persona podcast in which hosts Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks are playing through Persona 3 Reload week by week along with the in-game calendar. On episode 18 of the Persona 3 Reload playthrough this season, the hosts cover the events of August 10-17. The slightly longer week allows us to fully cover our summer school learnings, the summer festival, a surprising Dark Hour encounter, and so much more!

To help get us back on track, Tom and Jonathon dig into an oddly longer yet abbreviated week in the world of P3R. We speed through our studies with Edogawa (though, for the sake of Tom's pop quiz, we hope you were paying attention), as we dig into the arcana and more.

There's thankfully a bit more to talk about in this week of Persona 3 Reload though, as the duo digs into some of the free time and unexpected activities of the week, too. Yes, while we do have a doctor's visit later in the week, we also get a chance to dissect an unexpected encounter with Takaya in the Dark Hour. Tom offers some thoughts from a first timer on why this scene was so exciting to experience, and Jonathon does his best not to spoil anything important. The hosts also offer their differing experiences at the summer festival, take Koromaru for some walks, and more.

And, folks, you'll never believe it. Yes, it's Miyamoto's time to shine, as Jonathon and Tom finally stop putting off their next complete P3R Social Link. They break down what they thought of his storyline, how it compared to them for Kenji's, and more.

We've also got time this week to dig into some thoughtful questions from the Take Your Time audience, Tom offers another pop quiz, and Jonathon can't seem to stop knocking things over on his desk.

(Warning: Spoilers for Miyamoto's Social Link at 39:23-48:08)

Next week's episode will be focused on the days of August 18-24 - we're back to a normal cadence!
