Adachi did nothing wrong

except, you know, killing people

>>717152771
I'm not joking when I say anyone in Adachi's position would kill people. You are a literal bot if you've made it through life not meeting a single person who deserved it.

>>717152847
Adachi didn't kill anyone who deserved it though

>>717152771
Who did he kill? The TV world killed those two women.

>>717152847
How about tricking Namatame into throwing random kids to their deaths just for fun

>>717152771
fuck off secondary

>>717152771
Woopsie.

>>717152847
You are a literal bot if you would kill just because you thought nobody would find out. Also it isn't a fucking death note, the guy was going to their houses or walking up on the street.
You would not even be able to verbally confront your enemies on the street, let alone act on your little tard rage building in you.

So, why is Adachi in jail again? The t.v shit is unprovable.

>>717154659
>Also it isn't a fucking death note, the guy was going to their houses or walking up on the street.
did you even play the game

>>717152847
No, he by his own admission bumbled his way into it the first time, and then confirmed it the second time
The rest was him actively trying to play mastermind
He only killed because of frustration on people he didnt know a single thing about beyond the surface and then kept a shitshow going because he had nothing going on in his life

>>717154754
Because he confessed to the murders and explained exactly how they happened. However, what you said is correct, "death by TV World" is unprovable. Hence despite Adachi confessing, providing a motive and authentic time to which he did it, the police are having a really hard time making the charges stick. That's why he's still in jail a year later in Persona 4 Arena, awaiting a sentence.

And Adachi confessed because Yu beat him. Not in battle, but in the game he was playing. Adachi viewed the whole murder mystery as a joyride fun game to kill his boredom cause nothing ever happened in Inaba. He set up Namatame as the fall guy and idiot to continue his work, and when it looked like the game was about to end when Mitsuo killed Morooka and took credit for all the murders Adachi kidnapped him to keep the game going.

Yu successfully deduced the true culprit and defeated him, so Adachi gave up the ghost. His speech about society was just a deflection.

>>717154761
Yes retard, you literally watch him walk up to people and physically push them in.

>>717155201
he did not walk up to anyone in their house, nor walk up to anyone on the street and push them in

>>717155270
based literal autist

>>717155293
what? the person who did what that guy is describing is not adachi
in a murder mystery details are IMPORTANT

I liked the little sister

>>717152160 (OP)
They tried too hard to make him "creepy" at the end. You saw how he really was in his social link. He was totally normal.

>>717152771
fpbp

>>717156229
That was literally just a facade he puts up in public. A persona if you will. He changes arcana when you actually find out what kind of person he is

>>717152847
you have a lot of pent up faggot anger.

Adachi is an insecure loser which is why /v/troons love him so much.

>>717152160 (OP)
Teddie (human) owes me sex

>>717156813
>faggot anger
>get so angry you turn gay
jesus that's angry

>>717152160 (OP)
Not teaching me about bitches and whores when I was like 15
Game came out when I was 22

>>717152160 (OP)
how come no other devs have bothered to make some life-sim games like persona now that it's clear that there's a lot of demand for it? You would think someone would notice and try something like it.

And like persona, it's a pretty asset-efficient way to make a game, since you get to reuse the same settings and places over and over since the character can visit the same environments over and over across time

>>717156873
Why did they make him so hot?

>>717156743
No. You saw that he was a bit lazy and irresponsible. It was only when he was cornered and corrupted+manipulated by Ameno Sagiri that he went totally nuts. If he was truly as crazy as he was when he was making those crazy ass faces and saying all that crazy shit, he would still be as crazy when he sent a letter to the protag from prison. But he was cooperative and nice, if a little snarky, which is his normal demeanor. If you do the bad ending and burn the evidence, he acts crazy outside of the TV world because Ameno-Sagiri still has a negative influence on him.

Sex with Nanako

>>717157202
Ameno-Sagiri was put inside him extremely early. He was one of the monitors Izanami used to observe her three participants and see what they're up to. It's no coincidence Yu meets Marie almost immediately after arriving at Inaba, she was the monitor Kusumi-no-Okami. Kunino-Sagiri monitored Namatame.

>>717156743
That’s kinda the point though, isn't it? The whole duality thing. His social link shows how *he* wants people to see him-a chill, slightly moody everyman cop just floating through life. But the reality hits when his Justice Arcana flips to Hunger, and suddenly the "mask" drops. People keep forgetting Persona is all about masks and identity. His creepy rants and meltdown aren’t out-of-character; they’re just what he was hiding behind that deadpan sarcasm. Dude was disillusioned, nihilistic, and absolutely cracked under pressure. The social link gave you the Adachi he wanted to be, not the one he really was.

Adachi deserves a redemption story. He claims he's too far gone, but Golden's ending and Ultimax imply otherwise.

Also remember that there is no conclusive evidence that can prove Adachi killed anyone. He still hasn't stood trial as of Persona 5.

>>717157410
>when his Justice Arcana
Slight correction, it was the Jester Arcana. Nanako is Justice. Jester doesn't exist, but it's an alternate way of interpreting the Fool Arcana, indicating that while Adachi and Yu have great similarities, the Fool is a fool in name only, it is but the start of a journey, while Jester is an actual fool.

>>717152160 (OP)
Great vegetables!

>>717153209
>hurrrr durrr he didn't kill, he just threw people into a world where they got killed
Fuck you niggerfaggot what if I drop your ass into uganda so you die from super mutated ebola plus niggeraids huh?

An honest and comfy persona 4 thread? Damn.

>>717155201
holy shit.
you never played P4 you lying sack of shit

>>717152771
Truth be told he didnt even know that the first bitch he tossed into the TV was going to end up the way she did, so he simply went with it because despite everything in is mind he wasnt the one performing the killing. he still is an accessory to murder though considering that he knew the consequence of such an action and whats worse is he turned it into a game for his own self fulfillment, all because the nigga was bored.
Hes literally a case of "well fuck if Iam gonna be the bad guy I might as well be, because I got nothin else going on with my life."

its almost joker tier reasoning.

Persona 4 came out in 2008 when Persona 3 came out in 2006
damn game barely took any time at all to make

they could have been pumping these games out every 2 years if they wanted to

instead we wait a decade for each new game now. Fucking lame as hell. I hate modern gamedev so much

>>717152847
It would be pretty hard to throw jews into the tv considering they have armed bodyguards

>>717157406
Yeah, and just like Marie was useless and didn't do her job right, neither did Ameno-Sagiri. Adachi unironically did nothing wrong. His observer got directly involved and corrupted him.

>>717157843
I mean when you consider that a ton of assets are reused, and the engine/mechanics are there already it's not that impressive. Modern gamedevs are hacks though.

>>717157843
>they could have been pumping these games out every 2 years if they wanted to
Have you seen the way people scream and cry about reused assets these days? Look at the way /v/ lost its mind seeing a dark souls asset in dark souls 3.

Now remember the poster spamming every single Persona 3 Reload thread because it reminds him of Persona 5.

Persona has reached normiecore, they can't get away with what they used to because normalfags are freaks (ironically).

>>717158037
compared to how long persona 5 and 6 are taking, persona 4's devcycle is downright miraculous

I don't care about asset reuse, I care about whether they release a damn game that exists

>>717157843
They've been pumping spinoffs like crazy since P4's original release and with Sega handling the wheel things have just gotten worse. I miss when Fatlus experimented more (Catherine, Radiant Historia, Trauma Center)

>>717157843
I was tired of social links when Persona 4 was released, I can't imagine wanting a Persona game every 2 years.

Have you tried playing other Atlus games? SMT5, Metaphor and Raidou all came out very recently. Just finished 100%ing Raidou myself, I now understand why Naoto Shirogane has Sukuna Hikona as a Persona.

>>717152938
Women always deserve it.

>>717157981
No, the observers only observe. Ameno-Sagiri acts as the will of Izanami, who put humanity to the test to see what their "wishes" were. Yu represented "hope", Namatame represented "despair", and Adachi represented "nihilism". The most influential participant is the one who represents best what humanity wants. Adachi successfully took Inaba for a joyride the entire year, with Yu and Namatame riding his coattails, so Izanami took Adachi's aspect as humanity's wish and enacted it through Ameno-Sagiri to fulfill it.

>>717152771
He didn't kill anyone. It's their own fault for dying to their own shadow.

>>717158205
If you put someone into a position where they will die and they are unable to escape it on their own and die, you are at fault for murder. It's like tying someone to train tracks and then blaming the train for running them over when they couldn't escape their bindings in time. Not gonna fly.

>>717158107
I don't think Atlus are very good at things that aren't the social sim gameplay (not that they're great at the social sim stuff either, I guess, but they have less competition there). The rpg gameplay they seem to prefer to offer is too straightforward to interest me, it's very repetitive and you don't get many opportunities to make non-obvious decisions.

>>717157843
Probably a mix of
>The passion is dead
>All the skilled devs retired or fucked off
>The newbloods don't know how to into computers or narrative themes
>Development and rewrite hell (like Persona 5 and how Hifumi doesn't even know Shogi, but can still somehow teach you the best combat skills of any non-party Confidant)

>>717158404
considering how much of a mess p5 ended up, I'm not very optimistic about p6. The success of p5 in particular makes me think that the lesson they'll have learned is that they can get away with sloppy writing.

Did Namatame really need to continue his savior shtick and kidnap Nanako when Mitsuo showed up on the Midnight Channel and came out just fine without his involvement

It's really hard to care for Adachi being a murderer when the two people he killed are literal whos.

I think the story would have played better if it kept things straight with Namatame with Yamano and Saki killing themselves by curiosity (discover they can go inside TVs and do it anyways) being two others who interacted with the gas station attendant. With Adachi harmlessly joking around with Namatame when the later called to police station to what to do about the Midnight Channel.
The plot twist would be Yu and crew chasing around a murderer that doesn't exist.

>>717158313
they're honestly worse at the social sim stuff than they are at the simple jrpg aspect.

>>717157843
Why make a new game when you can make the same game with one extra boss and double dip on profits with barely any extra work?

>>717152160 (OP)
He's literally me

>>717158702
The average quality level of writing in videogames is so low that they're actually relatively competent at it, even if they're pretty terrible at it by any reasonable standard. It is weird that social sim games in the 90s were significantly more sophisticated than all of the most popular modern games though. Kind of strange that so much regression happened.

>>717158303
He literally had no idea people would die in the TV let alone go all the way in when he put Mayumi in there, he was just trying to give her a wake-up scare so she'd stop being a whore, so yeah not his fault
Granted he was aware it was dangerous when he put Saki in there but to be fair she was gold digging and trying to take advantage of Namatame so she had it coming

>>717158404
>>The newbloods don't know how to into computers or narrative themes
All the recent games are just fine. Where are these assumptions coming from?

>>717152160 (OP)
What about all those wrong things he did

>>717158594
You're a sociopath and a retard.

>>717152938
>Adachi didn't kill anyone
correct
the demons did
Adachi il a literal saint by SMT standards

>>717158721
They've been doing that since nocturne though

>>717157403

>>717158861
the writing is the writing, i mean the whole calendar system grind, the disconnect between the two halves of the game and the way characters are spaced out are issues that were present from the start of the format and they've only slightly been able to alleviate them with bandaids and just making it easier. (which has the knock on effect of adding more downtime & busywork) the character writing can be good, but i mean more the social gameplay aspect on its own. the stories and characters hold up fine when presented in other mediums after all.

really it's just carried hard by presentation and the fact that the only competitors are somewhat janky low budget things like caligula effect

>>717159183
Murder is a massive stretch. He could get manslaughter charges and get out in 20 years.
Or not, I don't know shit about japan.

>>717159183
>Granted he was aware it was dangerous when he put Saki in there
The first death could be argued as second-degree homicide, but this one was first-degree. He knew the TV World killed Mayumi, and threw Saki in there deliberately knowing that. That's the "tying someone to a train track" part.

>>717159472
>yes your honor I pushed those people into the tv and it's my fault they died at the hands of supernatural entities inside the tv world
the police would not even be able to push anything in court without being told to fuck off with a confession like that

>Videogame writing is bad!
Read some fucking books instead of just assuming they're some god tier artifacts full of immense knowledge you pedantic fuckbags.
The real reason you refuse to acknowledge videogame writing is usually surface level reactions.
It's anime so it must be juvenile.
It's western so it's pozzed.
You're not capable of actually understanding anything. Criticism alone isn't understanding, it's the rejection of understanding.
Get your heads out of your asses and put some effort into what you're playing.

>>717159183
What about Mitsuo who was pushed in just because he didn't want his game to end early after his confession

>>717158404
Atlus then

>>717160275
atlus now

Lets be serious, does anybody really care that two fucking whores died? I really don't care and neither does anybody else.

>>717157410
Actually the whole point is the killer's identity and the main story writing in the game is arbitrary bullshit, and they were fliflopping around who the killer should be numerous times throughout development. His normal, collected nature is most likely a leftover of a previous character iteration before they decided he's the killer.

Fans obsessing and overthinking details that the writers didn't give half as much of a shit about fills me with murderous rage. I hope you fucking die.

>>717161097
The mystery in this game is so shit it's not even funny. If only Nanako died for real instead of becoming Jesus and Izanami didn't exist.

>>717161212
>Fans obsessing and overthinking details that the writers didn't give half as much of a shit about fills me with murderous rage. I hope you fucking die.
Most mentally stable 4 hater.

Make another persona 2 game you incompetent hacks reeeeeee

>>717152771
He didn't kill anyone

>>717152160 (OP)

Wish Atlus stuck with the original premise that you lived in a dreary spooky twin peaks style town and Yukiko was the killer. Also Yosuke was supposed to be a fag.

>>717152160 (OP)
He absolutely did.
Adachi's main reasons for doing what he did were
a) being rejected by wimmenz
b) being bored.
Both of these things were his own fault. He chased women in the worst way possible and, more importantly, he was bored because he didn't fucking do anything at all. Yu and friends are the perfect counterargument. He goes after girls like a sane human being, building up a relationship with them. Also, he cultivates an active social life and literally does things with his friends all the time. Yu is rarely, if ever, bored. And that would even be the case if all the TV shit hadn't happened. While it's true that rural life has a different pace than city life, it's a myth that it's just boring by definition. Take some god damn responsibility for your life, Adachi, and find things to do. And if you can't stand it in Inaba, move to a fucking city. Persona 4 is essentially an argument against incels and social isolation.

>>717161574

>>717161574

He is an autistic mute with 0 personality to whom everyone gravitates for absolutely no reason other than him being a contrived wish fulfilment fantasy for ronery otaku.

> Oh somehow hitler/notHitler is mentioned and doing bad stuff.

> You go after the big bad but turns out he's not the real big bad and above him was another boss.
