      @daniellevymoreno1141 4 роки тому +94

      I get what you are saying but I don't totally agree. I think there is nothing in P4G that is as compelling as the third semester in P5R, the conflict it's not just to live in blissful ignorance or seek and accept the truth, but it's actually more of a continuation of "Chaos vs Lawful" themes of the vanilla game. If Joker accepts Maruki's deal, then he is just given up control of everything, even his reality, to someone else (Just like the masses where given up their will to the Holy-Grail in vanilla), if he rejects Marukis deal, then he has to decide for himself what reality is, what is right and wrong (essentially, justice). That's what I think is different from P4G, Joker's rejection of Maruki's reality doesn't imply that he will obtain some sort of truth, but just a chance to maybe insert his will into the world the way he sees fit, it's also why I think its better than P4G, because there is a lot of moral ambiguity in the decision itself, and I could see people siding with either side of the argument.
      P.S: Don't wanna come across as if I don't like P4G, it has other strengths over P5R, I just think P5R is such a step up storywise...

      What true ending mean that everyone control there own faith(some people could say we got freedom) without facade reality so it's mean Joker and everyone will be free from any wish(mean Joker don't have anything control in reality) and just accept the world as it is and not live as what anyone wish is.....cause peoples have tendency to manipulate other. as you can see our world have fake new. the rich in control the power. peoples can't speak the truth anymore and everyone selfish in there desire. even Covid i'm not even sure is someone manipulate or incontrol lol people will wish for this for that. this game just call for us to be more consider what you are wishing for and that it and live on.
      it's similar between seeking the truth and accept reality .. but P4 concept is just seeking the truth and free the world. P5 will be kind of free the world to accept reality. i think that how it is may be i'm wrong but that how i see it.

    You've definitely gotten a lot better at the game compared to 5 months ago. Not rushing as much and analyzing the situation more. Looking at Sumire's denial in English now, I can't help but feel even more sorry for her despite being harsh with her initially for being easily manipulated by Maruki. But then again, she did have PTSD from seeing the real Kasumi die in that car accident. Looking at this, it seems like she's easy to take down despite her amazing strength and agility. I'm sure Joker could have easily killed her if he wanted to, but was holding back enough to defend himself. He was still somewhat harsh with her to get the point across and make her stop. For my solo battle, maybe I should bring Abaddon, Rangda, or a Persona that absorbs or reflects physical attacks.

      Facts. He literally retraumatized in her in the worse way possible by showing her that video, and asks her to choose his reality while she's still recoiling from her broken mental state. He knew *full well* she'd never be able to give a rational answer in that state of mind, but still pressed her about it in order to convince the others to submit to him. It's absolutely self-serving, whether he intends it to be or not.
      And even after seeing how detrimental putting her into this position was, he still proceeded to drive both Sumire AND her persona (the only part of her that was somewhat able to realize the truth early on) mad enough to try and kill her only friends. Just look at her in this scene. She's completely unhinged and clearly just needs time to cope with her feelings, yet when Joker finally gets her to calm down a bit, Maruki steps in and proceeds to give her more of his twisted "help" when she even ask for it. Essentially encouraging to continue going forth and trying and kill her friends..

      As much as it gave Sumi time, that actualization had a very dangerous side effect:
      If that person needs to grieve, they can’t grieve because they literally can’t remember.
      Thoughtbubble’s video on the “counseling” session with Sumire and Maruki kinda puts my words in a well-placed manner. Try to see it if you get the chance.
      Here is the link:
      ua-cam.com/video/M8z7xwlEFGI/v-deo.html
      Also, if Doc were a good counselor, he’d give Sumi the chance to answer one month after the truth was revealed.
      But Doc’s inability to deal with sorrow was getting in the way of that and sees running away from pain as THE end all be all solution to EVERYTHING.
      It sounds nice at first glance, but our senses would dull and when crap REALLY does hit the fan, our wills would be non-existent, we’d be so dependent on those happy “realities” that we are unable to adapt for anything at all.

      Also, if this scene was inproved in anime form (if done right), Joker, in a unusual fit of rage, would try to rush at Maruki. And Akechi, despite being a beast who unleashes his fury, is the one to calm Joker down. Joker would also cut apart the tentacles in order to separate Sumire from them and stop Cendrillon’s rampage (Maruki can’t control other Persona’s if he doesn’t have a Persona-user in his grasp).

      Ren was jsut fresh from the last encounters way back since the palace of Shido and the aftermaths. Between reclaiming control, the betrayals and manipulations things could had taken a toll only for another painful truth to be revealed. But unlike the previous encounters...he was virtually alone. All his friends are happily living in an utopia....yet he knew than it was not the best way and onyl ally at the moment, was the harsh detective who while having complicated deals, it was his harsh but needed way that was necessary to figure out the enigma. I feel taht deep down, Ren wasnt taking lpeasure in having to give those reminders and would had expected a fight with anyone on his ursue those truths....it didnt mean he was wanting that. And while not knowing full details on SUmire...he still did not want to hurt someone who he felt was very caring and concerned off his behalf..tereating him with respect and being so friendly...it was one of those fights he would not show his usual confidence, charm or even wrath but...a plea.
      NOt that Sumire has it easy. For what coul be like nearly a year she was acting like someone else..out of her own fear and sadness taht her own self is so meaningless that no one would had noticed or cared if she was gone and the guilt and sorrow over having costed the life off someone she cared. So big is her sorrow that she thinks the senpai she cares so much, is determined to bring her back to the normal deal because he wants to do what is right..yet a mix of guilt, self anger and a desperate heartache made her loose control...and if it wasnt for the timely intevention from Ryuji or tackup....she nearly commited a mistake that would had been just as big as her tragedy....
      While major damages were avoided...it is very clear neither wanted to fight the other.....but Ren needed to do what had to be done if he wanted to save someone..even if he would had been forced to hold back or take the toughest decitions.

      Maruki did overwrite joker's cognition. Remember when Joker dreamt of the school and he had his prisoner clothing on again? He was imprisoned but his will to "go home" managed to let him break free. And I think that Maruki actually wanted to help Joker as thanks for Joker's accidental help in mentioning Mementos which made Maruki's work possible in the first place. Not to mention what Joker went through to get to this point. Tbh I thought that Kasumi would be the one to break Joker out the matrix but Joker managed again on his own. that's the wild card of rebellion for you

    Something to note is that Maruki made Sumire THINK she was Kasume. but because that was her wish, he doesn’t consider that it might be better for him to revive the real Kasume despite having the power to do so now. Really shows how shallow he is in his wish granting imo.
    Not to mention the clearly unhealthily lengths she goes to ‘become’ Kasume again.

      That's the idea. He prioritizes removing pain above all else. He realized if he brought Kasumi back to life, Sumire would once again constantly feel inferior, which would cause her a great deal of pain.
      Remember that his desires have become distorted, which led him to his destructive idea of salvation.

We (the audience) see the effects of Maruki’s power overriding Sumi’s cognition just to ensure she doesn’t enter a depressive fit of rage. Why not have Maruki intervene and give a slight overdose of his power to Sumi as an act of impulse.
