Persona 5 Royal: “Yeah actually, fuck that 100+ hours we spent crafting a beautiful ancom story. We’re now libertarians and status quo warriors that believe people should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop being a burden on society.”
Royal ruined Persona 5 change my mind.
Maruki did nothing wrong and is a precious boy who deserved better.
you’re framing vanilla p5 better than it was lol. It boiled down to fighting corrupt individuals, but not the system that created these individuals. Yk the usual mainstream rhetoric that “the system is perfect! Its just the corrupted individuals!”.
Also maruki was a cringe idealist, he was so scared of change that he created these immutable alternate realities for each person where nothing ever happens and they don’t experience any kind of struggle. Without struggle there is no growth/development, pure anti-dialectics.
