Don't Fukkin Murder Ppl.
The Phantom Thieves stole my entire October, and, honestly, I'm okay with that. Persona 5 has its flaws, some of them glaring, but I haven't been so completely absorbed by a videogame since Final Fantasy XV.
It's just occurred to me that, if we do end up getting caught as we leave the Palace, that almost certainly means Akechi sold us out. Goddammit, Akechi.
Sojiro's ninth confidant event is ridiculously heartwarming. I love this messy little family.
Haru was clearly so lonely before and dreamt of having friends she could go to festivals and watch films with, my heart.
Ryuji just approached me at the train station, looking intense, and said, 'Hey, I've been waitin' for you, Rei. You know what I'm gettin' at, right?' There are fewer 'Ryuji's really into me' moments now that the central cast has become so large, but I'm pleased to report that he is still, in fact, really into me.
Poor Makoto, torn between her sister and us.
I'd forgotten how smirky Joker was in the opening sequence. He really loves what he does.
Wait, we were arrested in the Metaverse? How does that work?
Hey, now I get to see Rei getting beaten up again, but now I care about him, so it's even better! Excellent.
How can someone get real-world arrested inside a Palace? Is the interview we keep flashing forward to actually taking place in Sae's head??? Or did agents somehow go inside Sae's Palace and bring us out?
Why is it that I have the option to sell out my friends but not to sell out Akechi? I'm not selling anyone out, but I don't understand why I'm compelled to protect Akechi, who at best I appear to reluctantly tolerate, and yet could throw Ryuji, Makoto, Ann, Futaba, Sojiro etc. under the bus.
THAT'S DEFINITELY AKECHI'S VOICE TALKING ABOUT MURDERING ME AND MAKING IT LOOK LIKE A SUICIDE, HOLY SHIT AKECHI
SAE, DON'T LET AKECHI IN HERE WITH ME
This definitely explains why protagonist/Akechi is such a popular ship. I can understand the appeal more if Akechi is a flat-out enemy rather than an obnoxious ally.
Wow, Akechi, I hadn't suspected you could look even more like Light than you already did.
'Akechi just shot a guy in front of me, guess our bond has grown deeper'
EXCUSE M
EXCUSE ME?????
Don't you dare go after my fucking friends, Akechi.
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING
(For context on where I am: Rei and the guard were shot dead, and then the guard faded away, and Rei somehow appears to be alive, and I do not understand. Maybe we... tricked Akechi into killing a construct of me in the Metaverse... somehow?)
This game is an adventure.
