Please stop with the ''jokes"

[@Larrue]

"Jokes"?

[@deltaquartz]

There were no "jokes"

[@Kirbster-D-Shroom]

@@deltaquartz no good ones

[@Larrue]

They were funny to me and that's all that I aim for :)

[@Kirbster-D-Shroom]

@@Larrue why even respond at that point?

[@warningdontread5478]

My favorite part in Persona 5 was when Joker bought a broken laptop and repaired it to access Buyee using Larrue's affiliate link and save 2000¥ when buying Japanese products.

Saori is such an underrated and overlooked Social Link.

[@Larrue]

I agree, she's great

[@spydersoup8447]

Yeah, especially since while it is a misunderstanding, it does address women being potential harassers of men, as we barely even see this being brought up at all because it's always the men who are the harassers and cheaters and the women are always the victims.

[@KuroeDetectiveAgency]

the hermit hate is real smh great video though, i learned quite a bit

[@Larrue]

Oh a Shinya fan eh?

[@Cookedmaruchan]

I loved this video, its so cool exploring the arcana

[@deltaquartz]

Still in the end, The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed. I don't know why i quoted that.

[@jacquespaught]

I've read that in the Japanese version that quote is more along the lines of "And then the Arcana revealed to him..." implying that the Nyx Avatar is actually narrating The Fool's Journey (the first 13 parts anyway).

[@deltaquartz]

@@jacquespaught thats kind of poetic in a way, if he didn't repeat it 500 times.

Hello there

[@ultima1033]

Bro, took me a minute to realize half of the video Is just you poking fun. Lol Almost got me with Akechi and Kawakami, ngl. Subbed.

[@Mariesun]

I really love this video, it's pretty good at pacing and I love the jokes in-between the video. I hope you continue with some videos that are like this!

[@ryleerushin3683]

My favorite part is when the fool finds Buyee and gets those dope deals on Atlus goods because he loves collecting Atlus goods!

[@Larrue]

The deal is the best arcana

[@RodScorpion100]

This was a relaxing video ngl

[@Uhm511]

This was a great video, thanks!

[@minako3senpai343]

Great video, really enjoyed it

[@shonenmarc1569]

Great video!

[@quentingrigsby2453]

I wouldn't say Yukiko is "just there" when relating to the high priestess as she is the first dungeon in the game; in a way you could say she is the Catalyses in game play sense as she establishes a game play lope (the dungeons) that is followed to the end of the game... but she totally the weakest of the 4.

[@Larrue]

Honestly I was being a bit hyperbolic, and it comes off harsher cuz I cut the explanations of quite a bit of the characters haha

[@si-level]

@@Larrue damn i think you really hate persona 4

[@Larrue]

No I don't 😅

Bruh that ad transition was so smooth

[@DavidPerez-ef5ws]

Jigen as sojiro was great

[@Valiant06]

I like to think of myself as a Fool

[@fishtonk5506]

All of us fit the fool because we can all grow at the end of the day. We just need to find the way how…

[@spydersoup8447]

One little pattern I've seen with the characters in the 3 modern Persona games who represent the Hierophant arcana is they tend to be parent/family like figures of the protagonist and that they have problems relating to their child they care for. With Bunkichi and Mitsuko, they seem to be the kinda role model grandparents have when it comes to caring for their grandchildren for either the male or female protagonist, except they're not actually their grandparents while they're saddened about their son's death, which is a tragic to them. Dojima, he's Yu's uncle who cares for his safety and wellbeing while having relationship problems with his daughter, Nanako since her mother died and that he wants to get to the bottom of his wife's death. With Sojiro, he got custody of Futaba as his adoptive daughter while she admires him as if he was in fact her dad, on top of it, Ren would view him as a father like figure too, even though the 3 characters aren't even related to each other by blood. This is one interesting pattern I've seen with the 3 Hierophant characters.

[@porridgeramen7220]

Futaba definitely does not hide her body odour

[@Larrue]

:(

[@VictorLima-rs3hs]

Yukiko as the priestess makes sense, she's the first person namatame puts in the TV.

[@esoteric7990]

On cards you didn't discuss I wonder why The Universe was given/only used for the P3 Protag

[@PLANTBAT]

Lesssgooooo

[@DezuFuck]

Nice video by the way

[@ravingrabbit7995]

Ah yes my favorite persona character dragon of dojima and haruka

[@davidgg8318]

BTW “The World” depicts a cherubim which is an angel with four faces of a man, an eagle, an ox, and a lion. It is considered one of the higher order of angels.

[@Universalistic]

not the yukiko slander😩😩

[@cammantia3482]

Which game best represents the fool’s journey and accurately depicts the arcana?

[@SapphireLibra3]

THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for mentioning Kanji's struggles accurately! He's _not_ gay! Not that there's anything wrong with being gay, but that's not the point. The point is he likes more feminine things, so in his mind, he _has_ to be gay because of his interests. In truth, he's so straight that he could tell Naoto was a girl before even HE realized it.

[@sociallyawkard5675]

I personally like the Journey of the sun, hanged man and the moon in P2

6:07 THE DRAGON OF DOJIMA??? IS THAT A YAKUZA REFERENCE 😳😳😳

HMM I have a question. 3 years ago i fell into ezoteric things cos of some health issue. Let if be i was looking for awekening to get some hidden power :p. It kinda worked but i started to felt like with this state i cannot talk to almost everybody cos i would be misjnderstood or treated like a devil. Let me say i felt like a found a God, but ppl don't see it(some seebut few). Nether or less I didn't felt like i fell in love to everybody like Jesus or some other ezocrazy guys, more i felt to look for revengd and justice. Then some of my friends was thrilling me about play persona 5 sine am fanboy of playstation and jrpg fan. I said ok let it be, and imiedletly felt jn game since it were about my true feelings and i also were in metaverse irl(but there are more ghost likely entities not demons). Then i was couries about the end of story(rll like the gameplay setup like social links and stuff). And the endjng to summom Satanael to deafet God or as they named. fake God rll confused me, likeirl i feel like Satan is a hidden global problem not a God. And after that i judt felt hard confused, mb i just dint clearery understood of ending or mb is just promotion to satanism with tricky good game. Would like to hear ur answer since u seem to know something, thx

[@Blackplague689]

"Goro is a loser noone likes" *remembers him being one of the top persona 5 characters*

[@imsmart799]

yeah lol

[@xtato01]

Isnt reiji also a representative of death? Since his final persona, mot, is of the death arcana

[@TGAM2005]

There's a similar case for Kei Nanjo, where his Ultimate is Judgement instead of his main Arcana, Heirophant

[@StarLucario102]

Since people are born with two birth arcana (rarely three, hence the third tier personas being non-canon and not used often) but nobody is born with the same arcana, so you'd have a starter arcana and the second arcana would represent their growth as a person I suppose, so their arcana changes as their persona evolves, for example, someone with the Justice Arcana and Star Arcana, the Justice being their initial persona, but when they change and evolve, their Persona arcana becomes the Star, that's the best I can put it without going into full detail ig

[@ShinMegamiTenseiEnjoyer]

The one in the thumbnail is studio zero logo wtf

[@ffxiikd1426]

Nice new video ho :D

[@spydersoup8447]

Actually with Futaba, her character was that she was traumatized by the men who worked with her mother, who was killed, and they had to blame her daughter for her mother's death, even though she really had nothing to do with her death except she was there when she died and it was in fact a plot, they think her research is more important than the life of her daughter, this led her to believe that she was the one who killed her mother like what they were saying to her. As a result for all this, when Sojiro got custody of her, she just locked herself away from the rest of the world, scared to even come out because the men in black was slamming the poor girl into the ground into believing what they were saying is true, which is what her Palace represents, a place where she'll remain until she dies, pushing people away from trying to help her and voices, pictures and imagery of what they drove her into believing the lie she was told. Even after the Phantom Thieves fixed her and she took care of the Medjed problem, she still gets freaked out when going to a public place. This is the majority of her character and why she represents the Hermit arcana.

@@Larrue yeah I know but the hate seems to outweigh the good, I’m just asking if you like the game at all. No hard feelings bro, still a great video

[@ChakraX2]

I get making jokes, but for an explanation video, it cheapens the explanation when you rob the character comparison to the Arcana but selling some short in favor of others. Futaba and Isako are modern depictions of the hermits with Isako craving to be a shut-in away from work and Futaba is a recovering hikimori. But instead of delving into how they represent the Arcana of Hermit you solely focus on Maya and say the rest can "go die" You're sacrificing the point of this video to delve into the way these games representation for these jokes and favoring one confidant over the others.

[@Larrue]

I get what you mean but the video is moreso about the fools journey not exactly a deep dive into each arcana rep because that's not necessary for understanding the fools journey. Deep dives into each arcana are things I want to do but I have a lot of reading already for the Persona 5 Documentary and I want to finish that first.
