KINO-MAN HIMSELF

Diego is hot

>Literally looks like he’s wearing a “the world” outfit

Why do they love jojo so much?

>Man i hate how Lavenza was implying siding with Maruki was equivalent to lose your Will of rebelion
Because you do. You lose your idea of rebellion in favor of bending the knee for Maruki

Why is he wearing a Gold founder's edition PS5 on his head?

all of persona 5 royal's extra content felt like one big anime filler

Shit wrong post meant for

>another generic primordial being from the collective unconsciousness
I mean, that's what the series is all about.
And while I agree, that some diversity in the broad strokes of the series plot is welcome, Azathoth, as a member of the Lovecraft Mythos, was the worst possible candidate for the antagonist's perona. They could've chose any other generic deity or demon and I would be okay with that. But P2 has already established Nyarlathotep as THE big bad of the series, not just any random lesser malevolent manifestation of the negative aspect of the human sea of souls. This by proxy also affects Azathoth and elevates him above other demons. Well, in my mind at least, since there's admittedly nothing in the game that suggests Nyrlathotep isn't the sole ruler over the negative psyche of the collective unconsciousness. I just use my meta-knowledge of the myths and legends Persona derives their villains from.
>user Maruki inherited humanity collective desires from Yaldy, the whole point is that Maruki could literally bend all rules set before.
That was also an asspull, since with Yaldy's death the Metaverse was erased, since it was his personal window into the human sea of souls, just like the the hollow forest (TV world) was Izanami's. Although I guess Atlus doesn't give a shit, since P4A exists, alongside with P5R.

Maruki was batshit insane and any user who would live in his world is a coward. Akechi is right.

>Maruki was batshit insane
>Akechi is right.
How can you possibly use these in the same post?

>Maruki was batshit insane
>sides with literally-insane Akechi

He wears a thong tho

Maruki should've died at the end.
Prove me wrong.

He's essentially lobotomizing everyone and making them into cardboard cutout human beings who don't progress or grow, everything will just be perfect. Akechi is also batshit, yes, but he understands living with your actions is part of life being what it is.

>Azathoth, as a member of the Lovecraft Mythos, was the worst possible candidate for the antagonist's perona.
You didn't paid the slightest attention to Maruki's character if that's what you think
>But P2 has already established Nyarlathotep as THE big bad of the series
A ''Big bad'' that has been absent for god knows how many years now. Besides Maruki's persona is not the father of THE nyarly is just a shadow taking form of the closest entity resembling Maruki's psyche
>That was also an asspull
When you have reality bending powers you can do whatever you want

That would made PTs his murderers, if indirect, and that goes against the spirit of the game as well. This should've made him get depressed and fade to obscurity in the aftermath instead of being a jolly taxi driver.

user Maruki could end world hunger, unemployment, pedo rings, all the worst scum of humans, all the crime, during the 3 semester they say crime hit an all time los.
How much muh free will is worth? How much character development a starving raped kid get?
It pisses me off how the phantom thieves just say that some folks could be happy in his reallity and that's it, they really downplay what Maruki reallity could do

>You didn't paid the slightest attention to Maruki's character if that's what you think
You didn't understand my post, if you think I said Azathoth was a bad idea as the antagonist's persona, because it doesn't work well with the brainwashing power (even though there are better candidates for that than the Cthulhu Mythos deities). That's not what I was talking about.
>A ''Big bad'' that has been absent for god knows how many years now.
THE big bad. And that's why I was so excited about Azathoth making an appearance. Because that could herald Nyarly's return, and in perspective even possible convergence of the timelines. Although, I guess, expecting from Atlus to acknowledge pre-3 Persona games might be too much wishful thinking.
>When you have reality bending powers
I just explained to you how he shouldn't have had any reality bending powers in the first place.
And if Maruki could do whatever he wants, why didn't he create a reality where he's not cucked, and where BOTH Kasumi and Sumire are alive?

>Only becomes the antagonist if the player helped him finish his research
>final boss is a monster you created
maximum fucking kino

Literally nothing in Persona can compare to Takuto and his whole arc

>And if Maruki could do whatever he wants, why didn't he create a reality where he's not cucked, and where BOTH Kasumi and Sumire are alive?
Because he thinks he will bring pain into Rumi's life by returning, since she's happy right now.
The other part is because Sumire is a fucking retard that would be unhappy if Kasumi was still alive because of her inferiority complex, he also just did what Sumire's ask, if Sumire would want Kasumi to be alive he could do it.

Don't forget the fact that Maruki's reality fucked up with granting some people's wishes, just look at how his reality affected the background NPCs you get to interact with, and one of Yusuke's painter buddies.

Both of those are non-issues with reality bending powers, as other examples in the game demonstrate. And he was deciding what's better for everyone without asking their opinion on the matter, so no reason why he couldn't do just that with Sumire as well. Those are just plot holes simple as that. That was just a rhetorical question really.

>Those are just plot holes simple as that. That was just a rhetorical question really.
You really didn't get Maruki's character at all huh?

You could also see how his world would also doom some people to complete apathy. There is a group of students who were constantly failing their prep school tests, but suddenly they were passing all of them with full marks without doing any sort of prep work or studying and by the end of the month they just don't give a fuck anymore since they know no matter how they fuck around that they're still guaranteed full marks. There is also that kind of fucked up case of Maruki granting the wishes of the pick-up artists giving them the ability to pick up whatever girl they set their sights on which means Maruki probably cucked countless people in that 1 month.

Maruki doesn't actualize the wishes of people that selfishly hurt others so he probabl changed their dreams.

Your condescending tone doesn't make you right, you know. Maruki's character isn't that deep or hard to understand, he can be read like an open book. Which makes the glaring inconsistencies in the story all the more obvious. I'm not making anything up, these are all facts, they're all in-game, if you pay enough attention. Atlus just didn't seem to care all that much for keeping their writing sound, and instead focused on making Maruki's story have more emotional impact, even if its integrity suffered in the process. You could argue that's where suspension of disbelief comes in, and normally you'd be right, but not when the author makes reality rewriting powers the central plot device.

>Maruki's character isn't that deep or hard to understand
Yeah he isn't, the fact that you're asking dumb questions that can be answered in-game by paying the slightest attention is the funny part here

>around that they're still guaranteed full marks. There is also that kind of fucked up case of Maruki granting the wishes of the pick-up artists giving them the ability to pick up whatever girl they set their sights on which means Maruki probably cucked countless people in that 1 month.
user you played the exam part of the palace, right? If your dream makes others unhappy they just change it
That means the only girls the pick up artist could want and get are single whores.
