    I think out of all the romance/social links, Ryouji's route was the most in-depth and most unique ending of them all. I mean, when Minako died to seal him/Nyx off, we can assume that her spirit is in the same realm as Ryouji now to keep him company. So even if Minako died, in the end, she gets to be with whom she loved forever. I think that's beautiful.

    Ryoji's Social Link is the one that reduced a 20 year-old me into a sobbing wreck upon completing both it and the game itself.
    The fact that he confesses his love for the female protagonist, gives her his most cherished possession, and then surrenders his humanity to become Nyx Avatar on what is actually my birthday (New Year's Eve), makes it hurt even worse.

      @Samdarika I like to think that, even though her body is the seal to keep Erebus away from Nyx, the Female Protagonist's soul is free to roam about in the afterlife together with Ryoji.
      (I also tend to think that Ryoji may have been "reincarnated" as Persona 5's Morgana, as the two are Shadows with connections to both the protagonist and that of the Velvet Room. Plus, the color scheme for both of them are black, white, and yellow, with piercing blue eyes.)

  • @Reilly-K
    @Reilly-K 4 роки тому +198

    Normally I don't like how certain social links focus so much on romance. But in this case, I feel that the romantic contextualization of the relationship between Ryoji and the protagonist is a great way to set up expectations to be effectively subverted with the revelation of Ryoji's true identity. In the original, this relationship didn't really make me feel anything because it wasn't very fleshed out. And in the movies, the plot twist is foreshadowed so bluntly that it's essentially given away before Ryoji even makes his first appearance as Ryoji.
    In addition, this social link is simply well-written and works so much better as a means to present Ryoji as a character, rather than just a plot device.
    If Persona 3 does end up getting a remake (fingers crossed), then it would strongly benefit from the inclusion of this social link, regardless of which protagonist the player decides to choose.

      @marinadesu 4 роки тому +26

      I fully agree with you! His social link is so good, it really adds to the character. In the original it's just "Ryoji likes to pick up girls, and bam, he's Death!", but in the female route we can see so much more. I think it's beautiful that they put that he's fearful of the Future, It was not forced and foreshadows that he's Death in a much better way. Also, the ending of the social link is so sad... But I like to think that they're together, considering the protagonist becomes the "seal". Also, about the movies - I think they actually presents Ryoji better than in the original game (in which he was just a plot device, clearly), as we can see a bit of his relationship with the protagonist. But, I agree with you, it's very obvious that he's Pharos. I don't really think the movies are good for people who hasn't played the game... But for those who have, it's very interesting. I'm even willing to say that some things are better in the movie (such as ryoji's part) haha

      Akihiko's social link is the only one that can be broken in P3P, iirc. But you can fix it over the course of a couple of weeks (since he's only available like, 4 times in the entire month of November, and two of them are on days of Ryoji's link) and it will continue on to Rank 10 but in the ramen shop.
      If you choose "As a friend, then", the link will be fine and you can still continue it. He says something like "I'm happy as long as I can be by your side", or something like that. The difference is that in the little scene with Ryoji leaving the dorm between rank 8 and 9, he won't ask to go to your room next time. And in Rank 9, you'll go to the school rooftop(?) instead.

      Then goes on to live in the streets for a while before he gets taken into an orphanage and then adopted. And he then spent the next 10 creating a life until he inevitable meets back up with Minako, starts regaining his memories, his powers and yadah-yadah... He becomes Nyx Avatar.

      Very late, but you don't have to romance him, it's your choice if you want to keep him as a friend or a lover. If you pick "As a friend then..." he will respond something like "I'm happy as long as I can be by your side" , so the social link doesn't become romance but remains in the friend phase, and he won't ask you to let him in your room or any other intimate request he makes when choosing a romance route.
