>could have a good straight-up rival like Light vs L >pull

I was at least hoping for an Akechi palace, but instead they went full SMT with gods and shit.

Purse-owners can't have palaces you dip.

>he thinks Goro was the "twist" of P5.

>Hey whats up akechi you piece of garbage
>omg nvm akechi your backstory is so sad
>akechi noooo ;_;
I fucking hate jrpg writing

The more I think about it the less I like persona 5.

>Persona 5 does its own thing
>Suddenly in the end they pull straight from Persona 4
>Supposed ally is actually an EVOL PURSEONER USER because SOCIETY IS SHIT
>God has to take care of mankind because ITS EASIER IF HOOMANS DONT THINK AND JUST LET ME TAKE CARE OF IT

And people will defend it and say P5 's story is better.

>>377255531
The twist on the twist wasn't good either.
>retarded kids that spout they're the phantom thieves in public
>get manipulated by everyone
>suddenly they pull off a Death Note
That shit was so forced.

Except Akechi being a total fraud shit bag is a much more interesting turn for his character, and far more in keeping with the overall themes of the game.

is Death Note your first cat & mouse detective chase or what?

>>377257787
It's the best because it's anime.

sometimes you just like what you like with different character is the pot you dumb nigger, but that requires you to think outside your own opinions

Anyone else feel bad for Akechi?
Part of me feels like they were trying to wring out as much emotion as they could from his character, but it really got me and I felt really bad for him when he died. It feels wrong to feel bad for him.

Though I feel like a better twist would have been making Akechi a red herring, with Mishima being the real Black Mask

I felt bad for him because he I could sympathize with him, but he's still a pancake loving bitch boy that deserved punishment.

>>377255980
Persona 5's story is equal to 4 then.

>>377258879
Of course I felt bad. That didn't mean I couldn't also feel like he was being a huge bitch about it and deserved to have dicks rammed up his ass.

>>377255980
>And people will defend it and say P5 's story is better.
If you actually think P5's true ending was less enjoyable that fucking gasstation you need to get your head checked.

>>377255980
the yaldabaoth storyline is taken from persona 2. igor and hitler even have the same voice actor.

>>377255980
>because SOCIETY IS SHIT
Yeah, that really came out of left field right at the end. That message totally wasn't hammered in in every single plot and subplot.
>God has to take care of mankind
Yaldy is the treasure of mementos, not a god. Think about every single other palace and what their treasures signify.

>>377259581
Speaking of P2, I'm really surprised they didn't copypaste the same scenario, especially after Ann mentioned that she felt like she's known the group for a long time.

>>377259738
SOCIETY IS SHIT was just a cover though, his real motivation was literally just to get attention because his daddy didn't love him.

I have my save file right before stealing Shido's treasure, but I'm honestly feeling kind of burned out on the game. Should I just power through and finish it, potentially not playing my best and not really caring enough to feel the full impact of finishing the game, or just put it down for a week and come back to it? I'm at like 106 hours right now, I never put that kind of time into games.

>>377260249
how about get drunk and finish it.

>>377260334
I've been playing high for the last 20 hours or so, I guess that would be a good way to change it up.

>>377259397
Izanami boss fight > Yaldabaoth boss fight. Killing a god with your own power is more exciting than being such a bitch that you need humanity to help you out. Also the boss theme is forgettable trash. Our beginning is GOAT though, should have been the actual boss theme.

>>377259581
he didn't play 2

>>377255980
>God has to take care of mankind because ITS EASIER IF HOOMANS DONT THINK AND JUST LET ME TAKE CARE OF IT
That's an SMT thing, actually. Been that way since SMT 1.

>>377260638
>killing a god with your own power
Did you forget the entire scene about how you got up from the brink of death because of your bonds?
>boss theme is forgettable
Fair enough. Genesis had the potential to be amazing, but it's bogged down by 6 minutes of slog and you more likely than not beat the boss long after the song's climax passed.

>>377260638
>spirit bombing a god of chaos into existence and shooting a giant fucking bullet through his face isn't badass
