There's no reason Makoto needs to be the strategist. You have Morgana (an actual thief) and Joker for that. Since Makoto is the one that comes up with everything you do, why even have Joker be the leader?

I just played that part and I disagree. I don't think it was bad writing, and I don't think everybody overly praises Makoto. Makoto's the one that came up with the plan and she did logistics work. The person who did most of the legwork was Futaba considering she had to hack Akechi's phone to record it AND to launch him into the Metaverse. And none of it would be possible without Joker and Morgana discovering the pancakes thing.

What I mean is that Makoto's ideas aren't anything super complex or out of the box, yet the PTs treat her like the genius of their generation and that jammies my jimmies, personally

>>181883838
Futaba is less insulting because she really is a genius in-universe, even if she doesn't show it as much as she should. She had more to do with the success of the ruse than anyone barring Joker, but it's all "oh wow, Makoto's plan was awesome"

Yes, but why isn't the role of the strategist for Morgana? The person that actually knows about palaces and thievery? I think that could work even better because you could have a way to partially attribute the plans to Joker as well if he's constantly with Morgana.

Why does Joker never get any credit for any of PT's plans? It's always only Futaba and Makoto.

Idk, it's kinda weird that they put that scene in where Ryuji talks to you about you wanting to date Ann but that's about it other than the girl you're dating blushing when you're asked of you ever want to get married.

>but why isn't the role of the strategist for Morgana?
Just like his relationship with Ann, he got cucked out of it. Serious answer: Morgana shows later on that he barely knows anything about the metaverse outside of the basics. After the introduction to mementos, idt he ever brings up any more new information about it. Also Makoto does plans for the real world too, idt that Morgana has any experience in that department
>>181884205
>Futaba is less insulting
Idk a lot of her actions in her introduction were pretty dumb, like her suddenly hacking medjed after sleeping for 3 weeks nonstop and don't even get me started on the shido calling card. Again you could argue that this is the same thing as the "muh tactician" excuse but I digress.
>She had more to do with the success of the ruse than anyone barring Joker, but it's all "oh wow, Makoto's plan was awesome"

Not really. I never once got that impression. I always felt, at best, the team treated the team right and really only mocked Ann and Ryuji for not being too bright, and Yusuke could go either way. There wasn't a single moment where I felt praise wasn't fine.

I agree that he gets cucked out of it, but that is a huge problem with the game's writing. Make Joker the real-world connection, and make Morgana the palace genius.

I don't think it's bad writing. It's what her role on the team is. It'd be bad writing if they handled strategy any other way, IMO.

I was talking more about the whole comeupance plan thing. The Medjed case I feel is more bad writing because it had to be the same whether the player completed the Palace day 1 or on the last possible opportunity. Shido's was just too anime, I'll give you that.

You can't call or use your phone in the Metaverse beyond the Metanav. Futaba had to remotely access the phone and then set a timer to activate a message to distract Sae before remotely taking them back on a timer because they couldn't get a signal into that world.

>>181884925
The reason why she has to though is because of this
>Make Joker the real-world connection
He's a silent protagonist, he can't do these things. If he did it would be Morgana telling and suggesting him actions and ideas and judging by the fanbases' reaction to him telling you to sleep, this isn't a very good idea. Having Makoto act as a way to develop these plans allows the silent protagonist to exist, I think that's why there so many people that claim she's like a FeMC.
>>181885071
>Part of me does wish that everybody had a part in the plan
This. If everybody did their share then I guarantee you that there wouldn't nearly be as many people who complain about Makoto. The shido palace was a great example of this, having everyone use their skills that make them unique to achieve the goal. Unfortunately this is poorly utilized and results in Makoto and Futaba being the only useful/relevant PT's outside their initial arc's
Idk about Haru tho
>>
>>181885342
Yeah, but other than foreshadowing for the audience, that information was actually unimportant. It had no bearing on the mission.
>>
>>181885378
Oh, you mean the recording was activated by timer. I thought you meant the MetaNav was activated via timer. Either way, she set up a recording and had it activated via a timer. It's not unimpressive but I think it's not as big a deal as what Makoto does, or even what Futaba will do later in the story.

He's a silent protagonist still, but he also has a remarkable amount of personality for one. It's also worth mentioning that in P3 and P4, you were somewhat limited in your scope as a leader, but I never really felt unnecessarily held back in P5 like I did with Makoto. In P3, despite being the field leader, you're joining a preexisting group and still defer to Mitsuru. In P4, no one has any particular expertise, and even if you're not following the story, the Q/A sessios you get with Yosuke where you can see if you're understanding what's happening or have it explained to you help to reinforce the idea of you being the leader. In P5, you are basically just Ryuji or Ann, except better. You have no unique skills besides being a better fighter.

I've actually asked that question to /pg/ before and everybody told me that you leave the MetaVerse upon walking past the place that you entered at. If that's true, then Akechi left shortly after leaving the Interrogation Room, and Sae left when she returned back after the recorded message.

I agree with you on Ryuji/Makoto/Futaba. The problem is the others.
>Ann's sexy and a model
This is hammered into your head way too much and only adds to her irrelevancy after her inital arc. It's amazing how the only thing that comes of it is that her beatuty works as a great negotiating tactic. (yes I know all PT's have a similar ability)
>Yusuke is an artist
Yeah and outside of calling cards and skill cards, he doesn't really do anything. They needed him to be more like how he was during the okumura arc. He questioned the target's validity and was very perceptive to the situation. They should have kept this going and added something else.
>Haru's rich
And she's does fuck all with the money outside of destinyland. She definitely needs work
>Morgana can turn into a car, can fit into small places, and is one of the 4 party members that isn't a dummy
The big one, yes he's useful but he isn't very bright. He has , and I'm putting it nicely, somewhat limited knowledge of the metaverse and isn't very smart. Again this might be because of bad writing but the okumura arc shows me that he isn't.

Again, bad writing excuse. They could have done better, but the way they presented it does make some sense though. But it isn't just Makoto that does this, looking back at the PT's meetings, they all talk non-stop and only occasionally ask you a question to make sure you are still holding the controller. There is no input regardless of who is dominating the conversation

Makoto only becomes, or feels like, the main character by virtue of the fact that Joker isn't allowed to have genuine agency or take the lead on conversations. Despite who he is, or how important he is, due to bullshit Persona/Japanese tropes the man barely talks or does anything of any consequence in a group setting. With that in place, Makoto ends up getting relegated to doing everything that Joker would be more than capable of doing.

It's just shit tropes and constrictive writing.

If you blur your eyes a little bit and cross east with west, Makoto ends up doing all the shit the Inquisitor or Shepherd might end up doing with regard to actual main story shit while Joker does all the characterization and bond-building. It's simply a matter of the fact that he isn't allowed to talk so he can't lead. Everytime it comes down to brainstorming ideas, people merely ask his permission or for an aswer to an obvious question.

I can only hope SOME DAY the Japanese cast off these bonds of antiquity and allow the main character to fucking talk. I still have just as many western waifus despite having a character with a fucking personality and emotion.

I think it's interesting that everybody focuses on Makoto because she's the logical one who strategizes. But there's no rule book out there that says the Protagonist has to be like that. I say if we're going to have a Protag with an actual character, make him a meat head or something. Something I haven't seen before.

I personally found her boring because of her personality. I think that you could've put Haru at the very beginning of the game and given her the utmost plot relevance and I'd feel the same way. The problem isn't under-utilization, but that she just isn't a very interesting person.

But this is all subjective, I understand if you guys feel differently.

Games like Dragon Age and Mass Effect at the very least allow you to slip into several different personalities. I'll always believe that having Joker/Yu/Anybodyfucking else have ANY personality rather than being this terrifying void persont that's just a doll people talk to and inexplicably trust.

Hell, at several points while building links in P5 characters just say: "I just trust you for some reason and feel comfortable sharing deep dark secrets." while that's not particularly jarring in itself, coupling it with the fact that Joker is still ultimately more characterized than Yu, he's still about as engaging as an untuned TV and only a leader by virtue of having the wild card in essence.

Just try and imagine Joker or Yu as a supporting character, with just as much dialogue as you get in the actual game.
>>
>>181888005
>They do absolutely nothing outside of their arcs and thus become forgettable
But people do remember them. Often quite fondly. I sure as heck don't remember characters because they did something in the plot. I remember them for the things they say and how they act. Stop worrying about what else a character could have done in some theoretical world where a Persona game can last 500 years.
>>
>>181887273
>>181887179
I guess I can see your point. When it comes down to it, my issue is that I don't really like Makoto as a character, so I don't feel particularly happy when she takes such a prominent role in every single heist. Ann and Yusuke were my favorite characters in the PT. And I want a chance to applaud them at some point for actually doing something in a heist. It's like cheering for your favorite team as they lose every time.
>>
>>181887858

>>181884164
I blame more of the story setting on the lack of more intimate group interactions. In P3, everyone lived under the same roof. In P4, everyone went to the same school and had downtime between the fog setting in on their side, giving them the liberty to do more group-related shit (beach, festivals, winter break, etc.). In P5, PT don't get an honest moment of rest to engage in any group bonding.

Compared to SEES and the Investigation Team, almost everyone in PT feels emotionally disconnected from one another. It's always some sort of business they must tend to. Summer break? Nah we need to figure out how to stop a cyber terrorist group from doxxing us. School festival? Oh fuck Akechi knows who we are. Winter Break? Oh shit you're in jail. Joker's life fucking sucks.

it's difficult with a game like Persona because a lot of what appeals to people is the self-insert, making-decisions, etc. appeal. I think the perfect reconciliation would be making it like The Witcher 3, where the Protagonist is a defined person and the choices that the player are always internally consistent with that person's personality.

Of course my perfect world would be a completely static character and take away any decision-making for dialogue except for maybe once or twice in the game, in special circumstances. But I know I'm pretty much the only person in here who would prefer that, and I accept that.
>>
>>181887610
>the main character has to do literally everything or he isn't the main character
what
Also, Makoto doesn't take over the phantom thieves and leads everyone during the main story, I honestly have no idea where you guys got that idea. She has a lot of screen time during planing, yes, and she does come up with a lot a suggestions of their next course of action, which is not strange for a tactician, but most of the time Joker is the one who everyone looks to for the final word on what should and should not be done.

Comic relief. Flavoring. Their story adds to the theme of the work. Another voice for a different character to bounce off of. There's like a million reasons you can have a character in a story beyond their actions directly furthering the plot.
>>
>>181888702
>Also, Makoto doesn't take over the phantom thieves and leads everyone during the main story, I honestly have no idea where you guys got that idea.
This. I'm honestly at a loss for where this comes from.
>>
I think haru would have been more interesting with more moments like telling yusuke to shut up when he kept telling mouse puns. Her getting real annoyed at the group and possibly even not liking them. She'd only be in the group because she likes Morgana. age could be the rich girl that calls out Ann's unladylike behaviours, ryuji's stupidity, yusuke's annoyingness, and makoto's bossiness. All because she is still secerely accusing them of killing her father, no maybe that's too much.
>>
>>181888940
Makoto is smart and comes up with strategy. People associate that with being a leader. Joker is the leader, Ergo, people conflate Makoto's role in the story with her usurping Joker's position.
>>
>>181888702
It's pretty shallow though. You really don't have any agency. Makoto comes up with the plan, you get a choice of 3 options that are all variants of "okay," then you do it. I sure as hell don't feel like I'm the leader just because I'm always the one getting the last word.

>>181888794

>>181888702
There's no need for hyperbole, obviously she doesn't take over the phantom thieves. The points made stand though, while Joker is the main character because we follow HIS story and HIS offtime, Makoto often comes off as the leader because she does a lot of talking, and interacting with enemies and the group in the planning stages which ends up being rather vital for characterization.

The consequence of such is accidently making her appear overcapable and like a mary sue due to her having to do thinks that Joke could, or SHOULD, be doing in essence. Things that a leader of a group might actually do. Of course it's possible that a leader doesn't have to do everything themselves and the work could feel more evenly distributed between the team, but as the others have noted it ends up falling squarely on Makoto a lot of the time due to Ann/Ryuji being too human and unexceptional in anything other than combat capacity.

You can call it rain and I can call it sleet but these are the ultimately the complaints people have.

I'd love it if Dragon Age Origins' conversation system went into P6. No voiced lines, but you're given much more choice and also more chances to have your say. Companions chime in less than in Persona, but you can actually have proper conversations with them. It's also much more believable that the MC is the leader. Might be too much of a departure from what we're used to though.

Want to point out though that Mass Effect and later Dragon Age games suffer a bit as you don't know what you're going to say until you choose the option - a deathknell in a social sim JRPG.

>>181889092
Wanting to see more of a character is fine. But forcing everyone into some plot mandatory role doesn't really fix this. Maybe somehow every Palace needs someone to draw a thing to open doors. Yusuke is now super important. Does this make him a better character? Not really.

I guess I see your point. But if we're being real here, with all the Waifu Wars /pg/ has a culture of making you want to pick a side or whatever. But you'd enjoy the game more if you try to approach it differently. Don't think of it like character relevance, as tenuous a concept that is aside, is a score board.

I hate how there is no clear-cut between PTing and free time.
I know it's incredibly important to the plot but it's tiring how no matter what you can't escape hearing about PTs, Akechi and the current arc in general. There is no real downtime even when you are doing Confidants.

>>181889146
I agree and totally believe that a compromise between those two systems could really work in Persona's favor without compromising its essence. Forgotten realms rpgs and other such games still got away with the player having a sense of agency and assertiveness without necessarily being voiced. It gets a little weird with everyone else talking and the main character NOT talking though.

Persona protaganists end up so being SO tabula rasa that they don't feel even remotely like real or authentic people in the midst of a pretty well written cast.

The issue is verisimillitude.

You're right it doesn't but from a narrative standpoint it gives him so relevancy and importance.

If it wasn't for social links and building bonds through actions/spending time then it would absolutely break my suspension of disbelief that a semi-mute could be so well loved/respected that strong personalities would follow him into literal hell.

No, it isn't, because you still have agency. Of course this isn't a completely freeform game where you can absolutely do whatever you want, but you do not have any options for the heist gameplan, compared to GTA5, where you do.

The dynamic in P5 was much more believable when it was just the first four characters.

Joker seemed very much in control at that point.

So is it or isn't it? You just said that the plan removed agency, which I don't think is a bad thing. I don't remember huge branches in the plot based on Joker's decisions, I remember it being mostly a straight line with some bad ends if you wait too long to steal a treasure.

This is definitely true. In the end this is a prime reason why the whole "Makoto is necessary due to her strategy" argument doesn't work. You performed two heists before even meeting her without any difficulty, and the game doesn't make any attempt to demonstrate that the heists have become more complex, or to demonstrate that she's a better planner than Joker, other than outright refusing to let him formulate a plan.

You can do it for me if you'd prefer.

>>181891036
Also agreed 100%, the dynamic shifts awkwardly toward the latter end. As much I love my dear Futaba, she captures a disproportional amount of time when she's finally introduced, and Haru suffers utterly due to not having a condition to Sojiro, while her position could be argued to be just as, or nearly as tragic as Futaba's.

Coupling that with Makoto's huge cock worming its way into every conversation somehow and it feels like she's babysitting everyone. Poor Ann and Ryuji, I really like them.

Fucking hell I really don't like Makoto.

I'm not sure where you're seeing a contradiction. P5 gives you more narrative freedom than GTA5. However, this freedom basically ends when you get to heist planning, which I see as pointless and only useful to justify the inclusion of Makoto.

I disagree, I think GTA5 gives you more narrative freedom because not only can you play out different aspects of the story with different characters, there are two different endings to the story and different outcomes to various missions. I also liked P5 more, for many reasons, but also because I prefer the stricter way P5 told its story.

It's probably an even bigger deal in P5 because of Goro. If you didn't give a shit about the co-ops your Joker would be missing the part where he used his Wild Card abilities to help people instead of using them to take advantage of people.

But conversations and battle is 90% of the game. Makoto, Morgana and Futaba provide a lot of the exposition and technobabble, and then things proceed as normally. And even then it's just setting up the next action scene.

It honestly sounds like you just want more screen time for some characters which is fine, but also recognize it's already a long as fuck game.

GTA5 is mostly lacking in freedom in the story. For example, I remember between the ways you could pull a heist, there was usually at least one extremely violent option, and one very subtle one. If you just pick the most violent option every time, it doesn't actually change the way characters think of Michael. Additionally, despite Michael being a man trying to reform himself and live a normal life, there's nothing stopping you from running around the city killing hundreds of people. This doesn't affect the story at all.

In P5, the way you choose to spend your time says something about the main character, as well as affecting gameplay. Choosing to prioritize certain characters, or none at all, affects your gameplay abilities. Choosing to be rude to characters instead of nice makes it harder to be friends, affecting the gameplay. Besides the fact that you do have multiple endings, even if non-canon. It just bugs me that suddenly all this agency disappears the moment it's time to plan a heist.

2 is the only one that doesn't follow a formula and has something going on besides other world shenanigans. The lack of SLs allow it to work the character development in much better, too, like P3 did with Junpei.

On the other hand, it's the weakest game in the series period when it comes to any actual gameplay and would honestly be a better VN than RPG

As a game featuring a silent protagonist, those small but repeated moments of agency in how you respond to people and how you spend your time are crucial.

But gameplay isn't story. You don;t actually effect the story in any way by hanging out with your friends in P5. It doesn't really matter if you maxed out Yusuke's Confidant, he's still going to follow you out of the Velvet Room. Nobody really treats Joker any differently based on who he hangs out with. Meanwhile in GTA V you can complete different missions from the perspective of three different characters, essentially getting an alternate version of the story in the process. Hell, you even get to choose what type of ending you get, and whether some of your characters live or die. In P5 everything always plays out the same way regardless of Joker's decisions.

This is a good thing btw, I prefer the way P5 does it.

I agree that it does to some extent, as that's necessary to tell the story of the game. For example, the protagonist, your self-insert, necessarily tried to save that woman from Shido. During confidants, you're always choosing to intervene and brainwash people harassing the character involved. To some extent, the writers have to put their foot down and say "if you don't want to play this kind of character, this game isn't for you." They just don't go through the same effort to justify to the player why anyone in the team is incapable of planning like Makoto, when you had absolutely no problem planning before she joined. As I said, the only real argument you see as to Makoto being a good planner is that the game doesn't allow you to object to her plans.

Did you forget about the Conspiracy being the NWO? How they both used the police force and used a mafia (yakuza for P5, triad for P2)?

I think of gameplay as being completely separated from story. It'd be like saying GTA5 gives you agency because you can increase different stats in that game. I guess on a very base level that's true, but if we're talking agency over the story it's kinda neither here nor there.

As I said, she only handles plans because you aren't allowed to handle them yourself. Additionally, it's not particularly hard for her to figure out you're the PTs, since she constantly follows you around.

In contrast, let's look at the evidence that she ISN'T a good planner.
She sloppily follows you around and loses her cool if you question her.
She gets herself kidnapped by a yakuza, which realistically would result in her and the rest of the party disappearing permanently or dying, not being released and blackmailed.

I'm sure Ann and Haru are good for something.

But that's like saying "the treasure is hidden in a Palace because you aren't allowed to just walk in and take it with no hassle." It's a story, different characters have different roles.

Also Makoto figures you out way before she starts following Joker. At that point she's just looking for evidence. Literally the day after Kamoshida confesses Makoto comes out on the roof during a meeting, points out how they all have a motive against Kamoshida, and Morgana points out that she knows.

I agree, they do. And I see no reason why they shouldn't apply afterward. She literally could've gotten herself and everyone in the PTs killed. It's not okay. Honestly, if I had the choice I would've not let her join the team. There's no reason to assume she won't get emotional again and fuck up, when the team has had absolutely no problem getting by without her. Her being able to go into this psycho rage and act impulsively is actually a great justification for taking her on as a dumb muscle and leaving the planning to yourself and Morgana.

Keijo is a fictional sport in which female wrestlers chosen more for looks than athleticism attempt to knock each other off of floating water platforms, where the only contact allowed is boob/boob butt/boob butt/butt. Leading Keijo girls are known to employ overblown "Techniques" that resemble fighting game supers

I hope you realize that these views are a bit contradictory. Either Makoto is a dummy who should never make any plans, or she's usurping too much of the plan-making.

And again I just go back to what I think the majority of people here settled on: the worth of a character isn't measured in their "plot relevance". See the Yusuke example people have brought up earlier. Everyone here likes Yusuke, Yusuke is not plot relevant, and I don't need him to be to continue liking Yusuke.

I don't believe they contradict. I said earlier, the issue I have with Makoto as the planner is that they really don't do a good enough job proving that she's good at planning. After she gets kidnapped, a markedly stupid move, she suddenly starts making plans that are equally functional to yours, and then the game decides that she's better at planning. There's no evidence for her actually being a good planner, and a lot of evidence against it. Ultimately, the game gave me the impression that Makoto is an idiot, and doesn't really go out of the way afterward to redeem her to me.

Makoto makes one dumb mistake under pressure, and that's the kidnapping thing. After that she blitzes through the Palace and basically comes up with almost every plan after that. Not to mention, again, the game gives you plenty of evidence of her intelligence before the kidnapping.

The problem is things like this makes me think a lot of /pg/ is really bad at understanding people. Makoto made a bad decision because she was attempting to please all the authority figures in her life and she finally after years of being the good girl snapped and did something wrong. After this she realizes her mistake and cools off a lot and stops sweating those things.

People have breaking points. Every last person. And they don't act rationally when they do. Calling Makoto an idiot for that doesn't mean much when that could go for everyone. Might as well throw Futaba out as well because she was reaching her wits end and going to kill herself.

I don't recall any of these plans. However, I played the game at launch in Japanese.
I can't believe that she's a good planner because there is no comparison. From my point of view, the game simply tells you that she's a good planner, expects you to believe it, then removes your ability to plan. I never got the impression she was particularly intelligent, just hard-working.

She comes up with the plan to split the mini-bosses. She figures out the slip of paper puzzle. She figures out the entire last area is a lock. She memorized the lock to open the golden suitcase.

Because P5's is better off than P2's. Like P5, P2 likes to put its themes first a lot of the time, which is something that they all should do but don't, but P2 has a tendency to do so in absolutely retarded ways, or in ways that serve little purpose other than getting out some confused reaction. Just in the last few months we've had people going back and playing P2, getting excited when they see the nazis and then start simmering from then all the way to the end, and this was a trend back when ISP and EPP were still relevant as well. After awhile, the main drive for P2 ends up being the cast of characters rather than the story or its meaning. A lot of people that shit on EP will do so first and foremost because it's a direct continuation of the pure stupidity that was Maya's death. P5 works a lot more into its story than P2 does as well, and that isn't really disputable without some reductionist comparison in P2's favor.

Meanwhile what P5 doesn't do well has nothing to do with the actual story. It's with how Atlus tried to pace it towards the end. It's no coincidence that the vast majority of complaints about P5's story come out of a failure to understand something.

>>
>>181896869
I figured all of those out before her. Again, the issue is that the game isn't allowing the player to be smart. It's not that she's smart, it's that everyone becomes dumb. This works fine when you're dealing with a straightforward puzzle. I don't resent her for that. I resent it when control is removed from Joker in a situation where he should rightfully have it as the leader.

The only two hints Kawakami gives to her age is that

>Can be considered in Joker's peer group (I guess we're both what is considered "Young")

She's not over 30, but whether she's 21-29 is largely left up to the player to decide. Everyone here says 26 because most people here are like 23-29

How is Ann supposed to stand out as the gaijin in the party when she's not the freakiest looking person?

Not true. The detective facade is something he worked on for a long time to make people love him. Shido's puppet is the real one that's trying to carry out a revenge plot that he doesn't actually care about anymore.

>>181897490
Like I said, I played this game in a foreign language over a year ago, so please forgive any slight things I forget.

But before you go, let me tell you why I enjoyed P3 and P4 in this aspect more. I accepted Mitsuru and Ikutsuki as a strategist in P3 because she has information that you don't. She knows much more about the dark hour and shadows than you. Because of this, I had no problem deferring to them.

In P4, when Yosuke quizzes you about the mystery, you can prove yourself just as intelligent as him. It's not just Yosuke telling you everything as if you don't know, unless you actually answer wrong and prove that you don't know.

What's important in both of these is that it gives you a reason to trust the other person. I trust Mitsuru and Ikutsuki because they know more than me. I trust Yosuke because if I show I'm not a good detective, he shows that he is. Makoto fucks up badly, and doesn't make an attempt to show that I should trust her afterward.

The problem is that I just disagree with you. I think the game gives you numerous examples both before and after the kidnapping of Makoto's competence. It never felt unearned, her position as the strategist. And I wasn't thinking we should split up the mini-bosses, for example. I thought the game did a good job illustrating the change that Makoto made to the group dynamic, because before that I believe the group would've just tried fighting both at the same time.

It does represent the kind of person Goro is pretending he actually is, in contrast with Joker who is actually that person without any of the narcissistic qualities to it.

Is it just me, or does Haru feel like a character who should have been introduced much earlier in the story? And I don't mean those small teases we saw her, I mean part of the story.

>>
>>181898320
Naoto doesn't consider Adachi until Yu names him. And even when she joins Yosuke still handles a lot of the deduction shit.

The dialogue felt so much more natural in P4. It was a group of friends figuring shit out by talking to each other. Chie tosses out an idea, Yosuke says why it wouldn't work, Yukiko uses that info to make a hypothesis, Kanji points out a problem with that, Rise corrects him, etc. It's all very natural and you can see how they all contribute to further the investigation.

P5 is just everyone sitting around waiting for Makoto to make a deduction or form a plan.

That was the Changed Shido. The real Alpha Shido would've never cried like a bitch.

>>181898695
I thought something else had happened.

The good thing is that I doubt either of them will ever touch Persona. They're not very good.
>>
Let me ask you something /pg/

Do you think the game should've tried harder to conceal that Akechi was the traitor? I mean in my estimation I don't think they tried to hide the ball at all. Do you think they should have?
>>
Why isn't a politician like Shido married? Nips don't trust unmarried men to lead their offices.

But the real alpha shido isn't even the real shido. His shadow is more alpha than him

Don't know what makes you say that, since I just explained how I love that Yosuke and Mitsuru can prove themselves more intelligent as you.

Yeah, that was also another scene that just didn't move me. I don't have much sympathy for people that feel indebted to others unnecessarily.

I figured out right at his introduction because of his fucking meme. LOL PANCAKES

For me, the traitor wasn't the twist. The real twist was how they tricked the traitor and got Joker out of there.
>>
>>181899047
Hell, they didn't hide their intent before the game came out either.

Gee I wonder who it's going to be!

no, akechi being super obvious was a plot point

A real Alpha wouldn't get changed, he would've won that fight. Joker's an Alpha, for instance. He got his life ruined by a politician who runs an entire conspiracy, and does he give up, even when trapped and about to be killed?
Fuck that, he and his boys trick the fuccboi assassin, roll up to the guy's front door, fuck up everything inside, make the guy go in Live TV to admit what a punk bitch he was, and he STILL has time to fuck bitches on the side.

I never got where that came from, either. Sometimes I think /pg/ exists in several dimensions with different versions of the games.

I'm just saying they could've hidden the ball if they tried. Makoto has connections to Sae. Haru has a black mask and a motive against the PTs after what happened to her dad. That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure you could add in some other details to make the others somewhat suspicious.

>Do you think the game should've tried harder to conceal that Akechi was the traitor?
No because Akechi being the traitor is not the twist.

I think it would've been interesting to 'trick' us more with Haru before the reveal, but ultimately Akechi's role is to be the traitor.

What they should've done is have Akechi bond more with the PT/join earlier so his betrayal has emotional impact.

>>181899238

He's not? Shido just went around stealing pussy as a single man.

The last thing P5 needs is another co-op dropped on you early in the game. They made the social aspect of the game perfectly hectic in the early game in a way that actually made sense but if they tilt the balance any more at all it would start to suck.

>>181899047
No. The traitor reveal is very intentionally handled that way and changing it for shock value seems like it would take something away. From the pre-release marketing to the lack of Goro merch (which there still is), to how in the game the reveal comes out very casually at the end of the interrogation, and finally to how Goro's fuck up came from him trying to cast his fake social charm on the PT. They didn't let you get personal with him at any point which is incidentally a big part of his character.

Shido has actually been married to multiple women prior to conceiving Groo. The last time he had to duck out of a marriage he faked his death in a fire and left his son an orphan.

>>181899656
Is that a really good CPU or something? I know nothing of computers.
>>
>>181899392
>>181899047
The actual twist is that he's working for Shido when you expect him to be a traitor for Sae and the police.

You expect him to either be an honourable villain who wants justice, or a traitor who redeems himself by turning on the police and joining your party full-time.
>>
>>181899560
They weren't TRYING to hide it, Anon. It was supposed to be JUST obvious enough so that you get it, and think you're clever about it.
Then Joker gets shot in the head, and we get the reveal that THEY KNEW IT TOO!

>>181899663

not THE best but yeah it's a +$350 CPU

No, because the actual twist was things like the ruse and Goro being an actual Wild Card.
