I don't remember if there was actually any reason to think this, but I was super prepared for the Mysterious Voice in Persona 4 Arena to be Nyarlathotep and that this was hoe they were going to work him back into the main cosmology. in hindsight: lmao

I like this intro a lot better than the original one. The original one "looks cool" but it has no relevance or symbolism to the game's actual themes and really feels like it was made before the entire script was finalized. (The street ice skating is really dumb and there's so many shots of it) This new one is fun and goofy and I love Joker and Goro laying down together and smiling. Like the one time Joker is in a shot with another character, it's with Goro. I love it Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Sep 12, 2019 |

He was a bad person with a stupid plan, and the only good interactions with him are when you dunk on him. goro is walking, talking example of what the phantom thieves were made to stop, and him just killing himself and then never talking about him again is such a bad ending

yeah, and those two party members are the people who understand him the most. Haru knows what it's like to have absolutely terribly family and Futaba is so painfully aware of what it's like to be desperately alone in the world. Hell, Goro was Futaba's current age when he killed Wakaba, so there's even a second layer of understanding. They don't forgive and entirely accept him, but they don't think he's terrible irredeemable scum because he was and is a literal child when this happened. I don't know how this gray area the party has doesn't extend to players.

YaketySass posted:Would you say that the other PTs are kids "failed by the system" who found a way out that didn't involve murdering people? Goro and Shido are, perhaps very poorly done, commentary on the Japanese foster system and politics with regards to them so I feel there is also some context in understanding how Japan regards orphaned and unwanted children that would help make Goro seem more understandable Arist posted:(It's because the writing surrounding it isn't very good and so it feels unearned)

it's hard to tell because the camera is so tight, but i just noticed that the buildings the theives are smashing in the new opening has writing on it that's pretty associated with the character. Joker destroys Rehabilitation, Goro smashes Arrogance, Futaba smashes Suppress, Haru stops to look at one that says Oppression, Makoto smashes -ostern? i like that!

Serious answer: No, I honestly doubt that. That isn't a video game P-Team really seems interested in. Catherine was an interesting experiment with people in their late 20's so at some point they were tossing some ideas around and I personally really like some aspects of the story and characters of that, but the high school setting just does so incredibly well for them and they center so much of the game's story and events around High School and Being A Teen and haven't swayed from that since "rebooting" the franchise that I don't see them pivoting. Even Persona 2 has you going to a high school and considering the perils of transitioning into unguided young adulthood With how much 5 expanded the city aspect, I kind of imagine Persona 6 returning to a small town setting, but this time it's fully walk around-able with no loading.

I wonder if that will help make him more palatable to people felt he was just showing up and talking at the player. I also wonder if his free days will be pretty strict due to his "work" or if he'll actually be open constantly because of how little a social life he has

no, she just joins the profession in japan that loses 99% of the time, will almost never see trial and is primarily there to negotiate plea deals and settlements but don't worry! her little sister becomes a cop in her place ensuring that nothing actually changed and the status quo is upheld!

Sydin posted:The Akechi changes aren't as awful as I thought they'd be either: If you max out Akechi's confidant (which is now progressed manually) he takes the fall for Joker on Christmas and winds up in jail in his place. Then he shows up in the dream world. Except it turns out it really isn't him, but rather the manifestation of Joker's wish: that he could have saved Akechi. When you undo the dream world it turns out Akechi taking the fall for Joker never happened and you wind up in jail like the vanilla game.The only "real" change is that there's some ambiguous shots in the ending cutscene that imply Akechi is still alive. joker, watching all of his friends sympathize with goro and try to make a connection with him to encourage him to turn his life around: man i hope you die here e: im sure it'll be at least a little better in practice, and i've heard other things that contradict this but man that's terrible e2: okay yeah that above quote isn't entirely true it seems? from what I've read Maxing out Goro's Link will lead to him killing Cognitive Goro, and he does actually take the blame for The Phantom Theives, not his own crimes. Suddenly on January 1st, he's released from jail and that's when he knows that something is wrong.The Dream World Goro IS actually Goro, partly there by Joker wanting to save him but also by Goro wanting to start over, not just an idealized Goro that Joker wanted, he's a real boy. Goro joins the Phantom Thieves for real, donning his Black Mask form and using Loki . At the end, Joker is given the choice to end the dream world, and Goro really encourages you to do this, despite knowing that things won't be great for him. (You can chose not do it and live in the dream world and Goro's like "Alright I guess". Denying the dream world evolves Goro's Persona into Hereward the Wake, the figure that Robin Hood was maybe based on. Once back in the real world, Goro is missing and Joker goes to jail, only to appear very briefly passing by Joker on the train That's at least better but again I'll have to see it. Here's Herewald tho  Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Nov 4, 2019 |

Sydin posted:I mean, I guess that's better? idk I didn't feel like Goro really needed the game to "do anything his character" or whatever, he's a murderous piece of poo poo regardless of his circumstances. also "regardless of his circumstances" is just a weird label to put on a fictional child. This might sound sarcastic but the biggest failure of P5's writing is probably the fact that a lot of players can't seem to generate sympathy with Goro despite all of the party members doing it.

That's a really unfair reading of him both taking the blame for you, testifying against Shido and his whole encouraging you to end the dream world. Going back to the real world comes at the cost of himself, he doesn't know what will happen, he might be back in jail, he might be back dead on the ship, he doesn't know, but he's ready to face that. Hell, he even returns to his Black Mask design, showing that he's accepted he's not a hero of justice but a criminal. And choosing to go back to the real world evolves Robin Hood, showing some strength of character Again, it's dumb as hell that he doesn't go to jail in all actuality, at least a little bit, but that feels more like Atlus not wanting to give a third semester. e: Oxxidation posted:the brokebrained performative outrage over the fictional teenager is probably emphasized because nothing else in P5 makes its audience feel much of anything Yeah even if they did make you successfully care for Goro (it really feels like the cilantro gene or lactose tolerance if you do), he promptly exits stage left and everyone forgets about him anyway Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Nov 4, 2019 |

Please go back to the scene on the ship where the party, including Futaba and Haru, implore Goro to help them fight Shido by empathizing with him. They don't forgive him, but they understand him and dont want him to die here. The last sentence of your post is definitely true, but you gotta have some caveats for people who are literally fourteen when they start doing that or else it starts to look psycho
