@@adnanhammedsadiq8665 That's true. The theme of P5R is "accepting reality and making the best of it", so him not being a Phantom Thief/Getting a Palace fits very well with the theme.

[@Sircool1]

people saying Iwai's line change from being forceful/threatening to nearly begging is bad. I actually like it for the implication. Iwai is constantly cold-shoulder giving, burying his emotions and attachments. And here he is, after the ordeal you helped him through and reconnect with his son, begging his criminal contacts that he built a reputation with of being this cold hearted criminal and he can barely contain himself. He truly looks at the protagonist as a second son or close to it, and is willing to ruin his criminal reputation to make sure you're safe.

These people all care about their friend and are doing everything in their power to save him from a terrible situation, just like he did for them.

[@lilliamdominguezcastillo5711]

This scenes always touched my heart. When we first meet akira, he has no one. Everyone blames him for a crime he didn’t commited, all seeing him as nothing but a criminal and he thinking that he’s life has ended and he would be lonely for the rest of his life, with only us the player knowing the truth and feeling bad for him. However, over the course of the game, we meet this awesome people who has suffered just or even more than him, helping them trough there own personal problems and struggles and changing them into better people. When I see this scene, I smile, knowing that I did a great job helping these people and seeing how now they return the favor by helping him is just heartwarming. Akira starts as a lonely boy who everyone looks down upon by something he didn’t do, to someone surrounded of great friends who care for him and would do anything for him. I know is just a game, and I shouldn’t feel this way, but I can’t help but feel so happy seeing this. Such is the magic of the Persona series, it just make you feel wanna go outside and live.

Persona 5 has to be my favorite in the series. I've seen these on my own but this video still made me tear up a bit. It has the kind of writing where little bits and pieces of time you spend actually amount to something in the end.

[@quinnmarchese6313]

this is the sequence i like to point to when im talking to someone who prefers 4 or 3. both are billiant games in there own right but none of them have this kind of scene--the social links outside of the party often get forgotten since they both don't provide the different gameplay experience, and they never resolve like this. The end of P4G for example doesnt have a sequence where the students you've befriended actually make a difference. in some ways, thats part of the story, Yu never gets arrested and inspired those around him to speak up, but still, the fact that you get to see all these people who you've impacted in major ways step up to the plate and fight FOR you is a really powerful moment that emphasizes one of the central themes to the whole series, the power of friendship.

I kind of saw it coming, after all he went through... He gets to be a part of something bigger, gets to see how important he is, and when he lets it get to his head, you don't fight his shadow, you just talk it down and mull things over. He may not be well-liked by others, but he is aware Joker and his friends does a lot of stuff nobody else can, and despise all that he helped him. But him saying it out loud, trying his hardest to win over signature was what triggered the waterfalls.

@@Sephiroth08150Yeah. If you think about it, Mishima’s life improved greatly thanks to your actions.

You know, Ohya's confidant is worthless, but she's probably one of the most valuable confidants in getting Joker out of prison. Maybe I'm overestimating the power of the press, but Ohya getting witness statements from Joker's hometown, doing the police's job for them, and making her findings public in the news?

[@quinnmarchese6313]

imo, p5 is the only one that does this well. like I love P4 and if it weren't for P4, i wouldn't have played p5 like i did, but P4 lacks a lot of what makes p5 work so well--p4 in a general sense is way more light hearted to the point where the stakes never actually seem important, and the non-party related social links really do nothing for you. for example, you don't do the symphonic band social link because Ayane (i think is her name?) gives you a super powerful attack, or a new mechanic to use in dungeons, you do band (or Theater) because its a choice that any high schooler makes, where to channel their creative energies. P5 might suffer some because confidants do more for you (and that makes confidants like Ohya unbalanced, Ohya gives you useless bonuses to the gameplay) but its this sequence where you see the 'favor being returned' to you after spending time with them and helping them that sets P5 apart.
