If you max Ohya it's implied that she goes to Joker's hometown to find the woman who testified on Shido's behalf to try to get Joker out of jail. She actually served a purpose at the veeeery end of the game.

She actually served a purpose at the veeeery end of the game. I completed Ohya's confidant in December so I didn't have to wait long for the pay off of her regaining her journalistic spirit and aiming to break the story on Shido's cronies. I can imagine it'd be a pretty lackluster ending if you finished it earlier though.

I was hoping we'd discover that by defeating the source of the mental shutdowns, people like Ohya's partner would snap out of it and wake up. I feel like that got overlooked at some point, it's a bit of a dangling plot thread having people shut down or psychotic still around if you never cure them, they might as well have made Akechi's power lethal from the getgo. Edit: P5 Crimson's inevitable Reform Akechi social link will feature a rank 9 Mementos mission to visit all of the hundreds of people he's mentally destroyed over the years and undo the damage. Rank 10 you take him out for pancakes to celebrate. Dolash fucked around with this message at 05:43 on May 2, 2017 |

Once a God shows up and also you kill that God I think all bets are sort of off on what's feasible according to The Rules. Also I figured that's why they did stuff like kill Futaba's mom and Haru's dad off entirely instead of just having them have a mental breakdown, to tidy that up if you ever fix all the still-alive cases.

Yeah, with how neatly and positively every other confidant ended I thought it was weird Ohya's partner is just institutionalised forever since she got Akechi'd. I was totally expecting there'd be some hope for recovery or something, but nope.

I will admit, it's very easy to forget that Goro really did Mental Shutdown a looooot of normal rear end people. I'd like to believe if people could recover from Apathy Syndrome, they could probably get better from being Cognitive Murdered, but prooooobably not anyway this one goes out to the like six people including me who wanted a Persona 5 AMV set to Kendrick's Mask Off https://twitter.com/tinycartridge/status/858764040553811968

Uhhh, the people who we see get shut down are loving dead, y'all. Principal + Okumara + SIU douche are all done and dusted. That's one shutdown that can't be reset. Also, there was a scene that bothered me around like 'oh Shido's losing it we need to work in his name!!' And that never actually amounted to anything. Makes me think that another harsh edit or two could've benefited the experience.

The train driver survived and so did a bunch of others like Ohya's partner. Even among them train driver made a full recovery while Ohya's partner is basically comatose or something in full time care at a mental ward. Akechi has variety in how he mentally shutdowns people.

Sorta. Mental shutdowns are mental shutdowns. He kills their shadow, they're loving hosed. What you're alluding to is psychotic breaks, which are a totally different thing, where he uses his power on their shadow and they go loving bananas temporarily. That we DO know people can come back from.

Makes me think that another harsh edit or two could've benefited the experience. I kind of wish we'd seen more of the trial at the end, the story treated all that as just wrap-up so the details were glossed over but considering how big a deal was made of the Phantom Thieves' methods earlier in the story, it might've been nice to see what testimony Joker actually gives and how it helps shut down Shido and his conspirators. It might've also helped lend weight to the gang getting Joker's conviction overturned if you saw more of what he was actually hit with in order to testify. As it stands that whole sequence goes by so quickly and with so few details it's hard to feel invested in it. Edit: Also the key takeaway about the mental shutdowns is for story purposes, having a bunch of people lingering in incurable vegetative states is sort of a bummer so far as endings go, especially when you were just messing with divine powers capable of fusing a giant skeleton into Tokyo then erasing it along with everyone's memories just a moment ago. Just feels like a bit of a writing oversight. They could've just had Akechi's power kill the people outright (as it does in some cases) if it wasn't going to be resolved.

Another NG+ "aha" moment: On top of all the overt reasons the game gives you not to trust Akechi, there are a few details that foreshadow his true nature the day he officially joins the party. Ryuji jokingly assumes Akechi has an all-black outfit because he wanted to call himself Raven. If you watch TV that night, you catch a Neo Featherman episode where the black ranger betrays the group and must fight the red ranger.

Mishima gets a character revamp in Persona 5+. Unfortunately for him, he is now Mishima but with Yosuke from Persona 4's need to mention he's going to piss himself every other cutscene and general terribleness as a human being.

You know, it'd work. In a different way. But rather than having someone just being bitter and nihilistic and 'gently caress the world' Mishima would be more about his, well cowardice, lack of self esteem and inability to free himself from authority figures. He'd lose himself in the idea of obeying the Phantom Thieves, and the cry of the crowd of the masses demanding executions. Always eager to please he'd done the black mask to start killing. Suddenly, the population turns against him, and even his idols the Shadow Thieves now say his enemy, Yabbadabbadoo reaches out to him. Presto. It's why I DID like the Mishima line. You really manage to prevent a potential villain from arising.

Whoever wrote this list on the A.V. Club clearly didn't actually pay attention to anything at all in the game: "A definitive, inarguable ranking of Persona 5 characters" Like obviously it's supposed to be funny and exaggerated, but it fails to do so because it gets a bunch of basic facts flat-out wrong. For example: "Sojiro hates you" "[Iwai] sells weapons to children, which is helpful if you’re a child who is fighting demons in your spare time but is, generally speaking, an uncool thing to do." (but they're explicitly models and toys...?)
