(it does not do this) #i still think this game is the funniest addition to royal. like they went out of their way to add this akechi themed video game in royal #im gonna be real with you. i think the gray pigeon theory thing is kind of silly. but goro akechi featherman parallels r so real. real shit #have you guys seen proof of justice. wasnt that crazy. that was crazy. #anyway. i want a love so strong it'll bring me back from the dead! or however that featherman episode goes. seeya #comics

H,,hey guys. Guess what game I (finally) bought,,,,,

#sorry the quality of these images is ABSOLUTE ass- #posting from my phone instead of my ipad which I actually drew them on🧍🏾‍♀️ #still UHHH hope you enjoy kids #persona #persona 5 #ann takamaki #ryuji sakamoto #haru okumura #p5r #OK TIME TO BE A NERD YAY. I really really love p5 and persona in general but I never talk about it- #but like. i really do love the series smmm #so ermmm shoutout to haru the character of all time. and also chie. naoto i love you. makoto i ALSO love you. and yusuke and sumi an #(I like them a normal amount (lie))

[persona-brainrot-real]

It is once again “why didn’t they let ryuji have any empathy for yusuke” era. Nothing like a game establishing that both of them have abusive/neglectful/awful dads and then instead of ryuji trying to connect with yusuke and show him that madarame is abusing him, he just gets angry at him?? For what????? Why???? There was so much potential

#ryuji sakamoto #yusuke kitagawa #I just think!! it’s a waste!! of potential!!!! #yeah here are these two characters with difficult home lives. one has a mother he loves and can turn to. one is entirely on his own #and for some reason ryuji seems to hate yusuke for defending madarame? #I understand it could work with his character or with his experiences that he gets defensive about yusuke not listening #maybe it’s uncomfortable for him to see someone who is doing what he did before he realised his dad was a bad person #but ultimately. this is an aspect of their relationship that really should have been there #and I can’t believe atlus fumbled this opportunity. #I’ll never stop being mad about it #persona 5 #p5 #p5r #persona 5 royal

i love makoto so much but fanon does her so much better (the good parts of the fandom) because in the game her character is so lack luster. they butchered her confidant it is so borning and not even about her. they made her a cop. A COP. they pushed this "canon waifu" role onto her (before sumire came along and did it Even Worse). and it SUCKS because SHE IS SO MUCH MORE!!! SHE IS SO MUCH BETTER!!!! SHE COULD'VE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER!!! the way i feel about canon makoto is the same way i feel about the canon ryuji events post komoshida where he's horribly mistreated and used purely as comic relief: i ignore them <3 my game now <3 never happened <3 my ocs <3

You are so right. I generally apply this to all characters in p5 bc the game does such a shit job of staying consistent with character arcs and personalities. Theres a desperate need to throw in perverse jokes at the expense of female characters and a need to show that the police (as a whole) are reliable people who are not influenced by things like money and power; only the BAD cops do that. Not to mention this obvious fatphobia and homophobia but i feel likes thats a given.

But back to Makoto. Shes a victim of bad writing just like everyone else. Ryuji during the kamoshida arc was fighting with self loathing and genuine anxiety, and aside from the like. One comment on Panthers outfit in the metaverse, hes more than well behaved. All of that is shelved as soon as Kamoshida is gone and replaced with him being weird comic relief (and the focus of alot of sexual jokes that were nonexistent in the beginning of the game). Anns arc about self love and empowerment is completely dropped as soon as the nasty bad guy is put away (so that its good to be weird about her w the Good Guys). Makoto loses her a chunk of her personality to be the mature waifu which is INSANE to me bc shes like. Not okay or normal at all 😭😭😭 she THINKS shes responsible and so does everyone else on her team, but its an act! She doesnt know shit! And she doesnt know that she doesnt know shit bc shes respectful and adults dont care about anything as long as u respect them!

Its very telling that for literally every single thief (and goro), you can see the exact moment the writers gave up on adding anything of worth to their characters outside of the social links. Its like they didnt know what to even do w the characters at their disposal after their main arcs were complete. No mention of friends hanging out without you, no mention of having group hangouts. Everyone is treated as a core, important member of the friend group DURING their arc, but outside of it, they are acquaintances at best. Theres nothing in the game that convinces you that these guys are legitimately friends who care for each other and do Friend Things. And i describe it like that bc there IS a game that treats them all as friends, and its strikers! Strikers/Scramble genuinely feels like the game p5 wanted to be; a road trip w your team where they stay up at night talking to each other and hanging out and doing things together that dont necessarily include you, the player. Its refreshing and lovely but it sucks that u get that kind of attention to detail in a ‘spinoff’ title

#chattin #i hesitate to use spinoff bc its a pretty big game #and theres an amazing plot with wonderful characterization #and their handling of jails and jail owners is LEAGUES better than the bs they tried to make up w palace users #and all the thieves feel like family. and not in the annoying fandom way; like #were family in the same way a family is forged and tended to. i love you. no one is left behind. no one is made to feel inferior another #its really good and honestly if u want more interactions between everyone i really recommend a playthrough #but yeah #p5 sucks #i love it but i love the version of it i made in my head LMAO #maybe p5r did a better job w the dialogue and some questionable scenes #(i wouldnt know. i didnt play it lol) #so maybe thats what people need to be using as a point of reference #but i only plyed p5 so this is what i have; a group of people who show up for meetings and then go about their life #and that kinda sucks. why make this wholly unique experience in which these teens can only relate to each other #make them bonded over their shared experience w this unbelievable world #and then not only make them NOT interact; but have the end be ‘okay by akira.’ and leave it at that #they just. didnt know what to do w anyone #they needed their girls to be waifubait and the boys to be an afterthought #they needed a buffet of older woman for pathetic men to fuck through their self insert #and they needed a story convoluted enough to keep people stuck trying to figure it out themselves #its bad. its so bad. its so fucking bad. but i have to be here. WE have to be here. #bc who else is going to take these characters out of hell and treat them right ??!!!

he's lying to himself he's very much also a dumb virgin

#art #my art #apr 2023 #persona #p5 #goro akechi #royal trio #hes also lying to himself in the sense that he loves them really /p #(/p intent w sumi as always but tag how you like) #on the topic of greentexts do you think he would use 4/ch/an. not on like... /pol/ or whatever but just to argue about shit #reddit yeah sure but i do think the ability to send anonymous death threats without getting banned would b very alluring to him #edit: im entering this into my Internal Akechi Lore now actually i think he leaks info about shidos campaign on 4chan #and gets brushed off as a conspiracy theorist but it blows up after shidos arrested

[a-sketchy]

man the lack of appealing stage design or visual effects or lighting or significantly interesting camera work completely kneecaps the dances from p3/5d as compared to p4d. i think the dances themselves are completely fine, if not better than p4d in a some cases, but there’s so little charm in the presentation that i can’t bring myself to care nearly as much

#it’s just so boring looking even if the dances themselves are interesting #there’s not even an audience!! no ones watching them!! why should i!!!! #i loved how the p4 characters feel like they’re on stage because they ARE ON STAGES #how do you even do dream fluff while not making any dreamlike imagery at ALLLL #do you really expect me to get hyped seeing the ground floor of tartarus? you think that’s even remotely interesting? #as opposed to fantastical stages with hordes of shadows cheering? #even the p5 palace sets are boring. they’re so big and empty #p4d posting #rambles

i don’t like being right about the persona 5ification of persona 3

#like i said so from the first trailer i’ve been pushing it out of my mind but it really is like they tried to make p3 into p5 #i’m still gonna be excited. i love minato. but the rest of it worries me so much.. #theurgia being like solo showtimes #the new dorm activities being things you could do in p5 #they want minato to be joker 2 and i played enough of the p2 duology to know that’s a terrible idea #ughhh. its all the little things that make me wish we never got a remake if it’d be like this #changed my mind won’t delete this one
