>>716272056 (OP)Dragged out ending that lost its own message for the sake of pointless gnostic symbolism.
The entire story worked perfectly when the Treasure of humanity was the Holy Grail, and Sloth was the supreme sin of man.
Having the Holy Grail unfold into Yaldabaoth is nonsense. Man did not make the Demiurge. Man does not long for the Demiurge. The Demiurge making a world of bone towers and blood rain does not gratify the great hunger for Sloth. "And here's Satan with the fucking six shooter" just muddles the message. Why is there a seven sins bullet when we are trying to combat the avatara of Sloth Itself? Sin is not our friend. God is not our enemy.
The Holy Grail was the perfect symbolism. It is the concept of an easy solution, of a miracle, of letting someone else solve all your problems. Yaldabaoth does not fit this mold. It's ugly how far they went to hammer in the idea of "rebellion means LUCIFER" imagery at the last moment. Inelegant. Disgraceful.
All in all Persona 5 went on for about 20 hours too long. The last delve into Mementos to face the Holy Grail should've been the way the story wrapped up, just add a bit more flair to it and cut the final sequence completely.
