So the Fake Igor bad ending is basically a superhero universe where the protagonists keep fighting the same battles without ever challenging the status quo, because the apathy of the public means new targets will always arise for the Phantom Thieves to gain glory from?

That and a dash of the Thieves being corrupted by their powers and losing sight of any goal beyond gaining more glory.

It’s also a deal specifically between Joker and Fake Igor, so who knows if the other Phantom Thieves are anything more than living toys for Joker’s ego in that reality.

Good point. The other Thieves never got released from their Velvet Room cells, so their wills are implicitly suppressed. Which makes sense since none of them would be likely to agree to this situation. So not only did Joker sell himself out, he sold his team into mind slavery to keep ego tripping as a superhero pawn of Yaldy.

It's either that or a major rewrite so Pancakes is less murder-y so his face-heel-face roulette is a bit less painful.

haven't watched the trailer but the psychotic breakdown/subway massacre thing was always a weird dissonant note in akechi's arc anyway. targeted assassinations of shido's enemies are one thing, but the subway crash was to do...what again, shame the ministry of transportation to benefit his party platform?

Given the way it's covered in the news, that certainly seems to be the case. But also, the game contradicts this reading:

Arist posted:




It was to take out the president of some company and a diplomat who sided with current government.
I see… That was very useful, Mr. Ooe.

So who the gently caress knows

E: the easiest way to reconcile this is that Ooe targeted his people and then Shido opportunistically moved in to blame the Minister of Transport for it

Causing a subway crash to kill two people seems legit and not excessive in the slightest. I'm going to go with your interpretation of that.

I’m pretty sure the extra 3 months are going to be wish fulfilment dreams being built by Sophia, the Gnostic “mother” of Yaldabaoth who created him and is associated with spirituality and dreaming.

It's kind of sad that out of all the impossible dreams coming true we've seen, up to and including reviving the long dead, the most farfetched thing Makoto can come with to improve her life is Sae being a nice and involved big sister.

Regardless, learning our teammates' fondest wishes only to crush them for the greater good will be fun.

The best change they could make in Royal is getting rid of all the "All we can do is wait" text conversations after finishing a Palace, but somehow I can't see Atlus ever removing content from a remake instead of just adding things on.
