I haven’t done the third semester yet but Maruki being the final “villain” makes a lot of sense and I like that it was heavily built towards through his confidant and the other conversations he had with the Phantom Thieves

So I kinda really loving hate how Ryuuji doesn't apologize to Mona for being a huge rear end in a top hat, what the gently caress. That scene kinda pissed me off.

Mona never apologizes to Ryuji either. Mona dishes out the trash talk but can't hack it when Ryuji stops just letting Mona call him a loving moron and pushes back

Ultimately I think it all works out in the end. While neither of them apologize directly to the other, the scenes towards the end of Okumura's Palace show them supporting one another. I think people get hung up on the lack of a direct, spoken apology but it's clear they've both been able to move on by the end of that arc. It's not handled all that well, granted, but I don't think it's terrible, either. The anime handles it differently, for what it's worth. In the anime's version of that scene, Ryuji does give Mona a heartfelt apology.

And I feel P5 just missed on both the final bosses and it was near misses. There weren't enough connections to the human and they should have done much much more to rub in that the Grail was Fake Igor The worst final boss fight on the other hand is P3's

P3's final battle theme is very good though so presumably that counts for something.

P3's got a great final theme and the whole the Tarot Reveals All thing. Really sick P4's final fight has a worse theme, and is approximately a million hours long with zero chance you die. P5's is cool, but they needed to not reuse Rivers so much P1 ps1 has a really cool theme for Pandora https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUjcsNDVCLc&t=65s

Persona 3's final boss feels like exactly the kind of endurance test that you would put at the end of a 90 hour game about the impending end of the world and the futility of resistance

The only problem with the P3 final boss is that it can occasionally charm someone and have that person Diarahan them, which is annoying and sucks.

You shouldn't have diarahan in P3 at all. Diarama is half the cost and heals enough. If you need a full heal use a bead

I don't think you get to choose what your allies skills are in base P3. They overwrite them automatically.

IIRC in P4G, you could romance Marie in addition to whoever else you pick and not get guilt-tripped for it on Valentine's day as she has completely separate scenes and is not part of the rejection section. Does P5/R have any confidants who aren't part of the 'beat Joker up' scene on Valentine's day if you choose to romance them?

Finally got around to beating P5R after beating P5 a few years ago and really liked the changes and additions. Making baton pass a core mechanic and making guns and technicals a lot more useful made the combat feel a lot more fun to me. Traits on personas are also a nice addition although getting Will of the Sword on both my Yoshitsune and Lucifer prior to doing the eighth palace completely trivialized the game at that point lol I'm also happy Akechi got a real confidant and wow they really turned up the homoerotic tension between him and Joker. Really liked the third semester story content since it had an actually interesting antagonist and also had plenty of scenes setting it up throughout the game. Also wow in the "happy" ending seeing Akechi actually be a pleasant boy instead faking it was really unsettling. It's clear that not everyone's wishes can actually be granted and some people have to lose out in favor of others if they conflict.

Regarding the p5r antagonist they could have made him a lot more morally ambiguous than they actually did, but it is made pretty clear that he has no qualms with Also it's depressing that the authors found it easier to imagine a world with planetary scale reality bending god powers than to imagine a world without wage labor or homelessness but that's a topic that has been beaten to death already. But yeah paradise is characterized by the stock market endlessly going up and the more the stock market goes up the more paradiser it is.

Maruki doesn’t create actual paradise and they’re not trying to show that. He creates what he thinks the perfect world is (or what he thinks people want it to be). The fact that homelessness still exists in that world shows the limits of his imagination, not the writers’.

Re: Ryuji/Morgana, they do show them a bit closer in Strikers, which is nice. The two of them basically teaming up to curse a boss out is A+.

Mona mostly sucks and deserves to get poo poo on by Ryuji. At least he doesn't suck as much as Teddy does later in p4. And yeah Shido is Armstrong minus most things that makes Armstrong fun and memorable. At least his dungeon gets the best music and the fight is good. P5R ending It really is a shame that the second fight with Maruki isn't a proper fight. You can't have the final boss power up and then just make it a gimmick fight where you have to survive for a few turns. Much like the first part of the boss in Futabas palace I hate the "oh no he/she's too strong we have to do something" when I am winning the fight already. It's fine if a palace boss makes me heal often. Let fights be a tiny bit challenging.
