You pronounced xibalba "x" in spanish or in dialects have either "h" sound or "ch" sound, like Oaxaca, or México all "x" sounds like "h". But original pronounciation was Mechíco with same spelling. So most likely it is pronounced chibalba or hibalba.

Technically he does, it's not fully explored in game directly but him and Katsuya's father was accused of being a corrupt cop and disgraced, I'm unsure if he ended up in prison or just retreated from their lives, but it leads to his absence which results in Katsuya's promotion to the role of parent, leading to the strained relationship between the two brothers Tatsuya went off the rails from the lack of parental guidance and the trauma from being stabbed by an arsonist, and Katsuya, upon giving up his dream to be a partissier so that he could provide for Tatsuya, dedicates a good chunk of his detective work to trying to exonerate his father

Trust me, spam those fucking fusion spells, and if you have a move that hits every enemy, do it. The fights in this game take FOREVER, but are super easy. Especially on hard mode, it’s like a damage sponge. And trying to get a new persona, you might as well grind because getting cards takes FOREVER. UHHHHH.

Y'know, being born and raised there all her life? ....I can relate, y'know. not being white, of asian descent, and being born and raised here in the US.... Fucking phenotype stereotype bullsthit.... Anyway, yeah. P2:IS is awesome! The duology is honestly one of the strongest entries in the series, period.
