    The change from social links to confidants make sense to me.
    In the other games, you make friends for no other reason than to make friends, you have no real gain from doing so from a story related perspective. But when it comes to P5, most of your social links are initially based on "give and take", where you get something to help you as a thief, like healing items from a doctor, more time off from a teacher and better equipment from an airsoft store. It's only later in the story of those confidants that your character becomes involved in their personal struggles, and you go from "just business" to a more friend based story.
    So i always felt it was a good change, as the nature of the bonds you make are fundamentally different from the other games, which is also reflected in the additional abilities you unlock from them...

If you don't do the first five parts of Sumi's confidant then you simply just won't be able to do her confidant during 3rd semester, the confidant will be locked.

    With Akechi in the Interrogation room in Sae's palace, he wouldn't have noticed since as we see when leaving other palaces, or in cutscenes like kicking Ann out of Kamoshida's palace, you leave the Metaverse by going to the same location you entered.
    So by sending Akechi into the Metaverse in the only hallway between the stairs/elevator and the interrogation room, he's guaranteed to pass through his entry point on his way out of the building, dumping him back out into the real world.
    The dialog doesn't explain this particularly well, but it's perfectly in line with what we are shown leading up to that point.
    Sae needed the phone call so she'd go back to get the real Joker, which would also result in her passing through the entry point and getting dumped back into the real world. _Presumably_ Futaba was watching whatever GPS tracking she had on Askechy's phone to see when he exited the Metaverse/where he is to time it so Sae wouldn't pass him on her way back to collect Joker.

      Yes, she used recordings, but since there's no way she could have known how long any of it would have taken to the degree of accuracy needed to ensure Sae and Akechi didn't re-encounter each other or otherwise tip off Akechi, there must have been something to control the rate that the messages were sent, whether that's an app she wrote to detect Akechi's location and/or the death of Cognitive-Joker and trigger the recordings or her sitting somewhere out of sight using her semblance to manually detect it and trigger messages.

    This game is always going to be one of my favourite of all time. It gave me the motivation to actually check out the locations in real life. I went to Japan 4 years ago and I was blown away on how accurate the areas were, especially the stations, it was so good to find my way around just by my memory from the game. :D I went to Japan again, just came back yesterday, and it was a bit sad to see that a lot of areas changed since then, like the green train car from Shibuya was completely removed, some shops and restaurants closed or moved somewhere else. Also I started to get lost in big stations because somehow all of them were under some construction, so this time I couldn't get the proper Persona 5 Tokyo experience like I had last time. xD

Kadmon is the "Primordial Man", an incorporeal intelligence in the image of God without the flaws of earthly, physical humanity.

    @2:05:00 In the dialogue Futaba explains that it was all done via a pre-recorded message. Futaba's call to Sae is actually a pre-recorded message that instructs her what to do in order to trigger her walking back through the hallway which causes her to re-enter the real world. Whenever the Navigation App is triggered it leaves a portal for the entering party to pass back through, which is why for example Ryuji at the beginning of the game is able to just push Ann back out of Kamoshida's Palace, not knowing that she now had the app and could just re-enter. It's also why at the end of all the Palaces the team always ends up back where they entered the Palace in the real world.
    Also Futaba is able to remotely trigger the nav app on joker's phone when Sae shows it to Akechi, it was specifically a ploy just to make sure that Akechi and Sae were standing next to each other when the app was activated, so ensure that he would be pulled in with her. She just used GPS to track the two phones (since she has a bug planted on Akechi's) and once they were in proximity of each other and not moving, she triggers joker's nav app by using the search history function to re-enter Sae's Palace. They walk their separate ways but a portal is created in the middle of the hallway, which means the only way for Akechi to exit the building was to go through the portal again (thus leaving the cognitive world) but Sae needed to be instructed to walk back through the hallway and back to the interrogation room in order to force her back into the real world. The only reason this works is because Akechi and Sae were walking in opposite directions once they entered the cognitive world.
    In order to make sure Akechi didn't catch onto the plan, Sae was told to immediately turn back around and confront the guard, and tell him to leave immediately. Thus making it look like (to Akechi) the guard had been killed. Then she simply waited in the interrogation room with Joker until the team confirms that Akechi has safely left the area.

    2:05:30 From what I understand it wasn't the phone call itself that brought Sae back, instead when you walk through the place that you entered the metaverse in, it works as an exit and takes you back
    This isn't ever outright stated in the game though and is just my best guess on how it works. Since in the cutacenes where the thieves escape the palaces they're always running for "the exit" instead of just exiting from where they are
    Honestly the whole fake death escape plan is held together by duct tape and I wish it was a better plan there's so many holes. Like what would they have done if Sae didn't bring Joker's phone to the interrogation? And why rely on Joker being able to convince Sae, the one still has a palace and is prosecuting him, to turn around and help them when he's so beaten and drugged up it's hard to think straight? And what if Akechi recognized the feeling of entering the metaverse and immediately left?
    And was there no one who was supposed to take care of Joker's body? How did a death certificate get made? I get that the game's trying to say "Oh the police are so corrupt they don't even need a body to make a death certificate." But was Joker's body just going to be awkwardly left in that cell if he really died? Who was supposed to check on Joker and then said nothing when he was suddenly missing from his cell???
    There's just so many holes in the plan, but I love this game in spite of it

    • @DebbieJacksonArtist
      @DebbieJacksonArtist 11 місяців тому +4

      Agreed on your commentary about the location, but I think Sae also had to be in contact with the Metaverse Nav App to easily enter the Metaverse to begin with. The assassin also had to enter the Metaverse in the interrogation room hallway to ensure he'd cross back out of the Metaverse eg. Sae's cognition of that room and return to the normal world. She also had to leave that room and go back through the hallway to leave that cognitive world. Another commentor has also clarified that Futaba might have been tracing their movements to time the phonecall appropriately.
      I think that, alongside convincing Sae, Joker's role was also to keep her talking for long enough for the Change of Heart to trigger and impact on her decisions.
      The death certificate was faked by one of the doctors/forensic specialists in Shido's pocket, working with the police to cover up plenty of other discretions beyond that I'm sure - it's not that the police themselves as a whole are that corrupt but that Shido's power at this point was getting dictatorial. He's meant to resemble the leader of a populist fascist movement and one part of that is access to shady information tampering.
      It's still got plenty of holes, though!

      ​@@CheesyLizzy I'm of the understanding that Sae's heart was slowly changing as they spoke; she still managed to curb the excesses that had given her a Palace to begin with. Much like Mishima's Mementos mission, I think the game implies that the PTs and especially Joker inspired her enough that she was able to change her own heart. She says afterwards that meeting everyone inspired her to realise that what she actually prized was not success in others' eyes but true righteousness in the world.
      "There is... one more thing. I haven't even told Makoto about this... But I realized something after meeting all of you. My most prized "treasure" is the justice I use to protect those important to me. Makoto helped show me that as well."
      Presumably this process was begun there but concluded after Joker's extraction was completed, so the Palace didn't fall apart... which even if true is still definitely a HUGE risk to take! The only answer I can imagine to that is that the Palace collapses when the Treasure is stolen but NOT when the Heart is changed, a process that takes place on a different timescale outside Mementos ... otherwise it could have collapsed at any time between the boss fight and end of interrogation. With at least one member inside, incapacitated and imprisoned in a jail cell the whole time.
      Akechi on the other hand was relying on the Palace staying in one piece because Joker was to be apprehended before leaving - and so would never get the chance to take her Treasure back to the real world. When his work is done, he leaves the Palace. I don't know whether he stashed her "Treasure" somewhere and thus expected the change of heart to fail, or if he removes it at this point alongside himself. But he's interestingly unsurprised on the yacht that the PTs managed to outfox him, so I think he starts to suspect, somewhere in between.

    yes i know this is a weak explanation but come on Frank's reality is an unstable one that is kept together by the people in it subconsciously ignoring the cracks, heck this even happens in the game where the party ignore the inconsistencies that exist in Frank's world but when the player makes them think about it then the party break free from Frank's world.

    Maruki severely triggered me. He was an awful doctor & just used manipulation tactics to push people to "choose" his path. What he wanted was a meat puppet world like yaldaboath (except nicer looking). He changes a person's entire personality if it could potentially create pain (ex: the artist who now in his world never painted), fundamentally "killing" the person they were. No one in that world would actually be happy, they're just dolls feeling what he wants them to feel.

I was willing to go to extremes just to make things go back to how they were. I remember thinking that I wished Maruki’s reality was real. Because I was in so much pain from the break up essentially. But watching the phantom thieves not accept the fake reality, even though they were happy there, it helped me come to terms with the fact that I don’t need them in my life. And that I should try to move on instead of trying to fix it/make things go back to how they were.

    Fun facts: Yaldabaoth is the false god of the Old Testament. He created the physical world and trapped souls in bodies to torture them in his world of suffering.
    Satanael is Satan’s original name (believe it or not), however other sources say he is an interpretation of Lucifer before he became Satan. He is also the prince of all fallen angels. He gave free will to humans and created chaos, which is poetic in a way since in the Yaldabaoth fight Satanael kills him, releasing the public from a hive mind of sorts and making everyone’s lives free from control. He’s also Yaldabaoth’s brother.
    However, what makes all this confusing is that Satan is also known as Yaldabaoth. They’re the same person. But at the same time he’s the son of the false god, or more accurately the “darker half” which just means the previous, false God. So are Satanael and Yaldabaoth brothers, the same person or father and son? I don’t know.
    Satanael is also the main figure of Satanism which is always, always confused for devil worship and sacrifices and all that cringe stuff. Satan is not worshipped in Satanism, in fact nobody is. It’s about living by 7 rules which simply tell you to be your best self without being a dick.
    So if Satanael is Joker’s true, evolved Persona… does that mean he’s like the Jesus of Satanism?

    I'm currently playing through Reload, but I noticed how some people on the Internet seem to think Joker's autisic. And (for the games) that's true for all modern Persona Protagonists(Naoya, Tatsuya, and Maya don't count since they have an esablished personality). Makoto/Minato are apathetic, and thus stoic. From how he acts (and my personal Headcanon), very much early autistic behaviour. I should know because I am autistic. By the age of 2, if a baby hasn't tried interaction at all, shown a fondness to a Routine, they are most likely Autisic, but equally as likely to have ADHD (their symptoms can overlap). Kotone/MInako have much more of a personality so they're apathetic only due to (spoilers) 1999 shadow shenanigans. Yu shows the later stages of Autism. Much more of a personality, but still shows a lack of emotion. Joker is who I relate the most due to using Circus baby tactics: Pretending. In the real world, he's like Yu, but he's his true self in the Metaverse. He's using Carl Jung's teachings to his advantage, using a Mask to act like who he's not. Autistic people do the same, but to hide their Autistic nature, to act normal. Which is why when the Autisic friend tells people they're autistic, they don't believe them because of their acting. Anyways, just wanted to point out this detail. Please let me know of any evidence against this theory, and i'll do my best to rely and rebuttal your response. I watched enough Judge Judy and Ace Attorney to know how to win an argument.

    I definitely agree with the convoluted plan though. It really doesn't make a lot of sense and HEAVILY relied on luck. If one thing went wrong, Joker would be dead. It was a stupid plan :/ Not to mention, Sumi could have easily destroyed the plan with her unexpected appearance.
    About that video calling card, didn't Mona say in Kamoshida's palace that cameras don't work in the Metaverse? So like...how did they make that video?
    I know in Japan, Igor's original VA passed away and they had to get a new one for this game. Maybe they did it in English too out of respect? Not too sure about that.
    It's never directly stated, but given the strange nature of Maruki's "awakening", a lot of people assume it's similar to what happened in Persona 2 and that main villain. What a coincidence that those two personas were eldritch abominations as well, heh.

    • @DebbieJacksonArtist
      @DebbieJacksonArtist 11 місяців тому +6

      Agreed on the plan; we never get to see the careful workings of it in progress, and it seems like the Thieves actually checked in on how it was going several different times, so it wasn't a total carpshoot. But it was way too easy to topple. Sumi is more obviously a late-inserted character based on the massive impact her potential presence would have had on the plan had she not just played along. It wasn't designed with her in mind.
      As for Igor, yes, they switched the voice actor out of respect, which I think ended up quite impactful on the narrative as a result. The English VA is also deliberately switched out in order to match in all appropriate scenes.

    I get it, she wasn't in the original version of the game so I shouldn't expect them to remake a ton of the game to accommodate one extra character. But the way they implemented her felt like a constant tease, and by the time she does join you the game is basically over.

    P5R came out five days after the first COVID-19 lockdown in my country (New Zealand). I was isolating in my family's sleepout (cabin) separate from our main house because I was working at a hospital at the time and didn't want to risk infecting my parents. I had pre-ordered the physical copy of the game and was devastated I got an email saying the shipping was "indefinitely postponed" due to the lockdown. As much as I wanted to wait for the physical copy, I ended up buying it on the Playstation Store on release day anyway. I'd come home from work, video call my family and friends, then settle down and play. Blasted through 140+hrs of gameplay in what must've been only a few days, because what else was there to do? And loved every minute of it! This game has a really special place in my heart, right next to the Kingdom Hearts series.

      For me it was similar 2 or 3 hours every night to relax
