I'm going down with this ship until the very end and I'm unable to actually use it, but other people I care about are jumping ship, so here ya go.
I might be scarce here for a bit, but I might post a bit more on the other place.
@Hantenshodo Not even getting into the whole "you are a slave, want emancipation" thing that's just not present in-game in many meaningful ways, there's also inconsistencies in Confidant stories (some characters get portraits but some dont) and Haru being a completely different character.
@Hantenshodo The Persona 5 that was teased and the Persona 5 we got are two wildly different beasts, that I can't even hate the one we got, because game development is crazy. The fact that there's evidence of stuff being cut out or dropped in the game is proof that working on this was rough.
When I was a teen playing P4, I liked Chie the most because I wanted to know and/or date someone who stood up for The Little Guys, see justice be done for those who need it.
As an adult, I like Rise more because I like it when people are upfront about what they want and feel.
