I'm not gonna lie, I wound up watching what is likely the next two or three updates earlier today just because I was curious what happened after you got deleted from existence. That said, Igor sitting back and letting you fuse them together struck me as weird, too. Also, Caroline and Justine are gone, nooooo.

I figure the whole butterfly motif is probably a tribute to Philemon or whatever, but with how much P3/4/5 are separated from P1&2, is Philemon really even in the picture any more? Is it just wishful thinking?

I think the save points in Persona 4 are implied to have a connection to Philemon. It's the same blue butterfly, anyway.

Philemon-as-Principal-Skinner: "I didn't interfere with the humans, it was the butterfly, I tell you! The butterfly!" Probably thinks he's being clever while Nyarly's going "not this poo poo again" with a palm to the face. D1Sergo fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Dec 30, 2018 |

For all the disconnect from Persona 2 onwards, Q supposedly has slightly more direct reference to Philly. All practical purposes Persona team is not touching those two anymore.

MarquiseMindfang posted:because the phantom thieves attempted to stab the personification of the collective desires of humanity in front of the subconscious minds of everyone, who responded by forcefully rejecting them, which when the world combined with Mementos, meant literally disbelieving them out of existence because this poo poo works on M:tA consensus reality rules now. No, people stopped believing the phantom thieves existed before they attacked the grail. It really does seem like a chicken and egg sort of thing where the grail made people stop believing in the phantom thieves and the grail is based on what people are believing.

Relevant. I think those poses are Jo2uke (Margaret), DIO doing the wryyy? (Teddie), Jotaro (Chie), Jonathan (Yu), DIO (Yosuke), Josuke (Yukiko), Giorno (Naoto), and Joseph (Kanji). Blueberry Pancakes fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Dec 30, 2018 |

I suppose as the members of the Velvet Room grew more assertive there was less and less need for Philemon.

Per one of the comments on the video, what he's saying: JOKER: I hope you are well, this is Joker. As the year ends, the voices speaking out awaiting our next move grow louder. However we are closing the curtain for this year. March 2019. We look forward to seeing you again, ladies and gentlemen. Until then, you’ll just have to wait. Happy new year.

Part 186: 12/24: Velvet Deception Music: Aria of the Soul    I was torn apart by a malevolent will, and took the form of those twins. I sought help before my body was split in two.    And I beg of you… Please save us…  Your lies shall work no longer now that my sight has been restored…!  It’s not!? Ah, poo poo! How much more of this is there!? Music: Desire  Igor’s got a nasty case of levitation going on there.  You guys, I’m starting to think this might not be the real Igor! Be careful.    Well, that’s… strange. Whatever the hell your plan is, it’s incredibly elaborate!  No… It may be more accurate to say that I am a god who responds to desire and holds dominion over man. However… the result is as you know—the masses have made it so none of it has transpired. Humans should be met with ruin: you brought forth that answer. But to be frank, Inmate, I believe it may be worth reevaluating you. A human has reached the Holy Grail and has seen through my true identity… You’ve surprised the god that I am often enough. That cannot be done by a foolish commoner. You truly were a prisoner that did not bore me. Music: The Spirit  Oh, for gently caress’s sake   Yadda yadda, let’s get on with it.  I shall grant you an opportunity to make a deal with me.  Should you wish it, I shall return the world to its prior state—one rampant with distorted masses.  You forcefully dragged him into the Metaverse and imposed an ordeal he did not deserve… Yet you still intend on toying with him!? The Phantom Thieves will be praised and gain fame. The world will escape ruin as well. ...What say you? If I agree to this, the ruined city will return to normal. However, the people will remain trapped, abandoning their ability to think for themselves… Is that really how the world should be? Oh no, it’s a bad ending option!   Maaku gets sassy. Well said. Such irredeemable foolishness… You choose death for yourself? Very well. I have no need for you.      Music: Aria of the Soul   Hmm, are we sure this is the real Igor this time? Let’s rough him up just to make sure.    Welcome to the Velvet Room. My name is Igor. I am pleased to make your acquaintance..jpg) Meet Real Igor. Okay, this is actually really weird and silly, but I should probably mention it. In Persona 3 and Persona 4, Igor was voiced in Japanese by Isamu Tanonaka. Unfortunately, Tanonaka died in 2010, so his role was scaled back considerably for later games, with all of his following appearances using archive audio. That’s part of the reason the Igor we spend most of this game with was a fake. However, they did not actually recast Real Igor. If you play the Japanese vocal track, it’s again just archive audio, with any lines they don’t have just being muted. Anyway, in the English versions of Persona 3 and 4, Igor was played by Dan Woren. Then, for some weird reason, they recast him as Vic Mignogna for the few lines he had in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax instead of using archive audio like the Japanese version. The “Warden” (Fake Igor) in 5 is voiced by David Lodge, but they didn’t get Woren back for this game either, instead using Kirk Thornton for some loving reason, because hey, he was already in the booth recording for the SIU Director, I guess! He is the rightful master of this Velvet Room, the true aid on your journey.  It may be difficult for you to understand this all at once. If I were to summarize this, the “fake” has left, and the “real” has returned.That doesn’t really help, no. Indeed…  Thus, you may be able to save this world that is headed toward certain ruin. However, it will prove difficult to win against him with your power alone…  You must release your teammates, with whom you’ve shared your conviction. Oh hey, my friends are actually still alive. That’s cool. This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter…  Not necessarily? You make it sound like they’re either currently dying or some of them have already died. That doesn’t sound great. Just as you were trapped here, they should be confined somewhere as well… Since you’ve deepened your bond with them, I am certain you can release them. Once they—the Phantom Thieves—are all gathered here… We will tell you everything.  Well, looks like it’s time to reassemble the party. Arist fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Jan 1, 2019 |

There was a whole lot I wasn't expecting in this game, and Igor being fake the whole time was one of them.

I love the Igor twist as it takes advantage of the fact of a VA change to slip in a traitor who you could never expect but at the same time was hinted at since the very beginning.
