Why is the bad ending bad? I mean you continue to stop people

>>383626769
The populace remains as sheeple forever, and you force the corrupt people to reform and become as soulless as the masses are once again.

>>383626769
You've become the thing you hate, an evil adult who manipulates others.

Shido is Trump right?
I mean it's a pretty cut and dry case, he even grabs a woman inappropriately at the beginning of the game.

Your friends are still dead

>>383626921
>Shido is Trumpet

Nah you dingdong, he's Armstrong.

>>383626913
You're not evil you're stopping it

>>383626921
>Atlus predicted Trump 7 years ago

>>383626921

Please go back

Evil is pretty flexible term. Depends what you put as ultimate good - safety or freedom. Not to say order/chaos shenanigans are one of main themes of SMT games.

SMT is for edgelords while Persona is targeted at well adjusted individuals who want to do the right thing.

>>383627665

stop being so paranoid.

I just don't understand his little smirk during the bad ending. What did he mean by this?

This is bait, I'm retarded for giving (you) a reply and you're a faggot.

>>383629517
The game tells you when you first play it that nobody is a reference to real life people and events, you baby

>>383628961
Someone help this girl!

>>383626769
that ending felt really fucking weird, like it was incomplete or something

>>383630038
It's supposed to make you feel bad obviously

>>383630038
Yea a lot of the bad ends in megaten games feel incomplete. They punish you for being stupid basically

>>383626769
You're not stopping 'bad people' you're stopping the free thinkers and non-conformists who would usurp Yabba dabba-doo's will. And by removing them you remove any opposition to ultimate law, something that results in the removal of everything that makes a human life worth living. It means that you trap yourself to a draconian existence of just doing what you're told from the moment you're born.

>>383629816
This actually isn't an argument. It's perfectly possible to rewrite a bad guy's character mid development. I mean look at what they have done with Prey.

>>383630686
So some dudes in JAPAN went and completely redid the plot of their biggest endeavor in 20 years of making their magnum opus series just so they could express dislike for some politician in a country 6000 miles away?

>>383630686
>>383631626
Wasn't he based on some JP politician anyway

Doesn't mean it was. I find it very hard to believe that the villian of a Japanese game was rewritten to be based on an American canidate who only got popular a few months before the game's Japanese release.

In the bad ending the PT become everything they were fighting against: a controlling establishment who punishes anyone who thinks differently from them. The people worship them like they worshiped Shido, they've just swapped one group of people that they can follow without thinking for themselves for another.

>>383630686
>Trump is the only modern politician with a nationalist platform and who was accused of harassing women

>>383632293
>a controlling establishment who punishes anyone who thinks differently from them. The people worship them like they worshiped Shido, they've just swapped one group of people that they can follow without thinking for themselves for another.

But they do end up tolerating different thoughts and letting people grow on their own. See: Mishima's questline.

People Worship them: The difference is that they choose to, without any brainwashing

>they've just swapped one group of people that they can follow without thinking for themselves for another.
But the entire reason why they fight is to give people the ability to think for themselves. That's what the entire fight against yaldy was about. If they wanted a world where no one was thinking, they would betrayed igor when Yaldy gives them the chance, which shows what that world is like.

>>383632293
Trump is Kamoshida then

>>383632790
Trump is nobody in P5, get your mind out of this political nonsense

>>383632019
Yep. Nobody in Atlus Japan cares about USA. Even less care about Europe

False.

Look upon the holy scripture, Son of Man.

>>383626769

None of your teammates (except maybe Ryuji) want to be Phantom Thieves forever.

>>383633373
The mascot is Jack Frost right?

I know? That's what we're talking about. OP asked "why is the bad ending bad."

That's what I'm answering.

He is the mascot of Atlus, correct.

>>383630038

In Nocturne the final boss can tell you to fuck off instead of fighting you if you fuck up.

>>383630038
Most endings are just there to tell you that you fucked up. Even some routes are in other MegaTen.

>>383633749
Good choice on them
I was rolling with only black frost all endgame, he-hee kicks ass-ho

>have never played a persona game or JRPG in my entire life
>for some reason I'm really drawn towards towards persona 5 because it seems like a comfy japanese student simulator

should I get it?
I'm bored as fuck and have literally no other games to play right now

>>383634290
buy it

>>383634290
Yesits a slow game though

>>383633991
I fuse Black Frost in every Megaten game I can, hee kicks ass.

>>383634290
Definitely man. I went to Persona and from there play P4, Smt IV, and Apocalypse. It's a great series looking forward to playing the other megaten games.

>>383634290
Are you 12? How have you not played a single jrpg

>>383632790
Kamoshida is actually basod off a Japanese gold medalist named Masato Uchishiba.

>>383634290
Have you played Pokemon? It's a jrpg.

>>383634761
Because up until relatively recently I had shitty normie in vidya taste and thought JRPGS were weird

>>383635042
That's okay, you can be corrupted. Be ready to double your body weight and spend a lot of time arguing online about fictional girls.

>>383630475
>>383632293
The bad ending is the perfect set-up for P6. A new team of persona users becoming actual superheros trying to take out the corrupted phantom thieves sounds pretty rad.

>>383626921
Shido is a generic politician. Fuck he has more in common with hillary than trump even

>>383626921
It's true there's the gropey part but there's also the media which fawns over him and helps cover up all his skeletons. That's pretty Hillary.

I see a mix.

>>383634290
Yes, if you want a "japanese student simulator", Persona is the game for you.
