wtf is this plot lmao

>>720360637 (OP)
Side character of the week knows she has to lower her voice when speaking to the deuteragonist

women love violent men. nothing arouses them more than murder. it's why they are all so quick to forgive those that killed their loved ones. she will invite him back to her fathers bedroom for some nice sexual activities of the sexual kind after this, or she would have if he hadn't dieded.

>>720361018
This but men. Men will kill their own wife and children just because their 6/10 sidepiece gives them anal.

>character development stolen by a cat

All Persona games overstay their welcome near the end.

>>720360637 (OP)
It's easily the worst part of Persona 5.
One must not play the game thinking about such things as story, or plot, but about
>hey that all out attack was bretty cool

>>720360637 (OP)
Persona is slop

>>720360637 (OP)
isn't her dad kind of a jackass

>>720360637 (OP)

The japanese are pussies. That's it. Go play Atelier Ryza where they justify the dad beating the shit out of his son all the time and never call him out for it. By the end of the game the son fights back but then says its his fault for getting battered. Look at Naruto where they have Naruto call Obitio a pretty cool guy despite setting up most of the plot that led to Jiraiya's death, the destruction of the Leaf Village, death and corruption of some of his friends, etc. The list goes on.

You can understand a person's suffering/tragic anime backstory and still think they're a piece of shit.
Besides Haru is like the first one in the third semester to tell Akechi that if he betrays them again she'll fucking kill him. I think Futaba is honestly worse in this whole shitshow.

>>720360637 (OP)
>the twist is...they knew the whole time!!!!
it's actually pretty incredible how bad base P5s pacing and writing is especially at the end

>>720364052
Are you implying Royal actually fixes shit pacing and writing?

>>720360637 (OP)
akechi is presented as straight up evil and is a serial killer i also have no clue why they arent ripping his head off the first chance they get

it's the only thing in the game i didnt like

>>720360637 (OP)
Haru, I can actually understand having some sympathy for Akechi's situation considering that she had an asshole father that never saw her as anything more than an object for further financial gains.

What did piss me off was Futaba trying to say the same thing given that Akechi killed the most important person in her life and sent her into a mental hellscape for years. Girl should've been wanting to snap his fucking neck, not telling him that he can still change his ways.

>>720364510
Futaba is just a bad character people like because she makes epic gamer references

>>720364052
>Thought the scene was weird when it happened
>The game dragged on so long and the writing was so bad that by the time they addressed it, I was genuinely surprised that it was relevant and wasn't just a minor mistake they had made

>>720364658
No she is an excellent character outside of that you are just filtered by a fellow 4 channer

>>720364510
Devs have lost the ability to make you work with an evil character without the villain being cartoonishly evil or super baby uwu. We will never get a Magus again.

>>720364161
it tries, actually giving akechi a social link kinda helps. but yeah there's really no fixing the base game. the epilogue is pretty good though

>>720361126
tits or gtfo

>>720364052
I thought that twist was actually neat, because Akechi was the most obvious one to betray the team. So to pivot from "Akechi is the snitch" to "Yeah, the team already knows" was neat since JRPG characters tend to fall for the most obvious traps.
What I didn't like was the writing team jerking itself off for being so clever and having an overly long explanation for how the team came to realize Akechi was full of shit and how they did the plan for Joker's escape. That shit was so long and the game asking you if you wanted to hear about it again was ridiculous.

>>720360637 (OP)
She has empathy, of those "New age terms"

>>720364814
Giving the villain a social link is certainly the dumbest band-aid Fatlus managed to come up with, hands down. And they've done it twice already.

>>720365181
I thought the dumbest bandaid was tackling an additional "canoner than your canon waifu" slut into the upgraded version usually to explain everything through assblasted exposition or outright bullshit additional content nobody asked for.

>>720365181
It's even worse in 4 since it spoils the game lol
Golden is so shit it's painful

>>720365101
i only discovered empathy at 33

>>720365567
No, that's actually the core feature of Fatlus re-release specials lmao.

games poorly written and bends over backwards so characters work with the fujo bait character.

>>720360637 (OP)
It's an homage to an earlier game like most plot elements in P3-P5

>>720365842
Actually not related. Yoko was always meant to be in the game and is in fact still in the game files of the original V.

>>720360637 (OP)
yes, persona 5 is written by retards. It's a shame, considering the level of production values it has

>>720364052
>I have never watched a heist movie or an episode of Lupin in my life

>>720366049
I must say that is genuinely shocking to hear, then again V base game feels like a poorly stitched together afterthought so it makes sense at the same time.

>>720365991
Unlike Akechi, Jun straight up got gaslighted by Adolf Hitler.

>>720366314
It's funny how that statement is literal, as well.

>>720366380
No, it still depends on whether you're playing PSP version or the original.

>>720366380
>>720366314
It's not Hitler. It's Mankind's Shadow disguising himself in a manner befitting the Evil Men Do.

I'm pretty sure being married to a psychotic mlm scheme Munchausen by proxy cow might've had something to do with those murders.

>>720365567
Especially since you max her confidant so late in the game theres barely any romance time. To be fair nothing is going to top Ann and Kawakami's Hawaii dates.

>>720364052
>they do a quick montage of all the scenes the protagonist conveniently "forgot" when we first went through it
>glazes the gang so much like they're some kind of master orchestrator, trying to convince the players how sick of a twist it is
>immediately followed up with a scene where the villains explain their plot to each other for no other reason than for the player's benefit
I was never so insulted playing through a video game story

>actually I hate you and want you to die
brilliant

>>720364510
Context is important here, orphans in Japan are turbo fucked, a bastard like Akechi is double turbo fucked and they understand that he had absolutely no one to turn to.

teenagers are all either psychopaths who are either blind to others suffering or see it only as a tool to draw attention to themselves ("Look at how COMPASSIONATE I am!")
