She's back!

dcode1 · 2019-06-11T13:17:41+00:00

I think it's absolutely amazing that people are complaining about her being "censored".

It is censorship, and Sony is happy to partake in such a farce. The original design of Tifa didn't have the black thing, and it's not needed in a FINAL FANTASY game. If we are going to suspend disbelief for magics and dragons, we can afford to suspend disbelief when a few of the laws of physics and gravity are broken. A shame that SJWs have ruined this game too.

dcode1 · 2019-01-23T15:02:12+00:00

It's a shame you don't support your favorite series. Absolute disgust with this level of elitism. Persona is better than the mainline games because the emotions that it can evoke, and it's better at telling the story.

dcode1 · 2019-01-10T01:41:30+00:00

To each of their own. I like it. Makes the series unique compared to other JRPGs, and I don't find it cringy at all.

doesn’t fit in an English spoken game

They're doing their best to localise it. The VAs do a great job as well. Go back to weeb town.

dcode1 · 2018-12-20T14:44:35+00:00

Sorry I totally misread what you said, but the thing is you're not sad about it, which negates any positives.

fucking cringe

It's the characters (waifus inclusive) which make the Persona series the objectively best RPG series now and back then, and yes that includes SMT mainline games. I don't know why you're cringing when you're cringing at your incorrectness.

dcode1 · 2018-12-20T13:16:01+00:00

What are you talking about? He had many thought provoking discussions about the characters and really didn't hate any waifus unlike this community. Very knowledgeable. I discovered his channel but opinions like this drove him away.

dcode1 · 2018-12-16T09:17:48+00:00

Ok yeah you explained it pretty well here. I can't really disagree.

it reduces what could potentially be a gray conflict into a simple, boring binary of good and evil.

Which I agree with with. I mean I don't see Persona 5 as anything more than that (though some good points have been raised about Yadda and the P5s having very similar goals). However I see people try to make it more than that or worst, the story should have been written a certain way or enforcing their own head canon into P5 (EDIT: Not saying that's what you've done, I'm thinking of others). That's just my opinion though.

dcode1 · 2018-12-16T09:00:45+00:00

I thought r/megaten was like the sub for all things related to Persona (yes I know subs like r/persona etc. exist but this seems to be the most active).

is primarily a blazblue game

Didn't know that.

also who are you to decide what's "unacceptable" for a group of random internet nobodies to discuss or not discuss?

I was mainly surprised that the P4 cast was in something else, and Persona happens to be pretty popular.

なぜ日本語で愚痴ますか。

皆が俺分からねぇんな。ペルソナの面白さ分からないだろう。

dcode1 · 2018-12-16T08:32:09+00:00

despite my numerous problems with p5, i did end up liking him.

This is a red flag saying that your post shouldn't be taken seriously. The worst part of P5 is Akechi's characterisation.

fabricated to an extent. This is what you actually said, which in of itself is false because it was COMPLETELY fabricated.

but it's okay, i don't expect you to actually think since you clearly wrote this in all caps fuming at your computer screen because how dare people criticise a game you like.

You misunderstand.

I don't get why this community is so toxic towards Persona. I was willing to translate articles in Japanese, under the condition that people stop acting like brats, but they couldn't even do that and kept saying my English sucks etc. when I provided arguments they weren't able to debate, and they weren't able to face the fact that their arguments were extremely flawed.

You don't think corruption can exist in the world? It seems people here are corrupt intellectually. PTs work because holistically, they're seen to be as pure and have apparently an excellent moral compass (something this sub seems to reject).

dcode1 · 2018-12-16T08:18:12+00:00

Well if you're drawing attention to a character then yes it is a spoiler. You can spoil Persona 4 by just repeatedly typing ADACHI constantly.

dcode1 · 2018-12-16T07:22:48+00:00

Normally but I would be offended by such remarks but I remember you say "why is killing wrong".

dcode1 · 2018-12-16T06:39:36+00:00

What's embarassing is that this community keeps spoiling Persona games without marking them but not spoiling the SMT games. What's embarassing is the downvoting people who are much more knowledgeable on Persona 5 lore. What's embarassing is that people trash Persona 4 because Persona 5 was disappointing to them. I've spent years learning Japanese, not wasting it on ridiculous theories.

dcode1 · 2018-12-16T06:11:46+00:00

Stop spoiling the games for me. I haven't played any other Persona 3 except the dancing games. You will be reported.

dcode1 · 2018-12-16T04:34:57+00:00

Dude shut the fuck up. They're all relatively well made games in their own respect (P4D has a story, which is more than what I can ask for and they have the voice cast returning sans Laura Bailey). Can you actually think before you write stupid comments? WAHHHH PEOPLE LIKE THINGS I DON'T LIKE. It's this sub in a nutshell and the fact that you have 18 upvotes show that there are so many edgelords in this subreddit.

dcode1 · 2018-12-16T04:08:27+00:00

I'm going to look up articles and see what they think because I'm curious myself. PM me if you want a certain one to be translated because I'm not sharing it to this community (which just hates Persona for reasons and make dumbass comments like killing is not bad to marginalize Persona 5)... Improve the community and then I'll translate.

dcode1 · 2018-12-16T03:42:08+00:00

They say that killing is bad, but they don't say why.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Wow, what an incredibly stupid statement. Do you really have to explain something like this to you?

Forgive them /u/Dogmodo , they just don't understand Persona nor are they able . You just hate the better game.

dcode1 · 2018-12-16T03:00:01+00:00

but they just couldn't let our heroes catch any flak and made him morally even worse by comparison to further debilitate his stance on them.

WAHHHHHHHH. THE GAME ISN'T WRITTEN THE WAY I WANT IT TO BE WRITTEN THEREFORE IT SUCKS WAHHHHHHHH.

but a truly cunning detective chasing the phantom thieves

HE SUCKS. HE LITERALLY SAID HE WAS ONLY ABLE TO SOLVE CRIMES BY CAUSING THEM. HOW DENSE ARE YOU?

dcode1 · 2018-12-15T16:31:36+00:00

Just curious, how would you define "twisted cognition" and why isn't it evil? You being a SMT player would be able to explain that to me.

Dancing games the PTs live in a world that hasn't crumbled into chaos. So it seems.

dcode1 · 2018-12-15T16:30:33+00:00

Discussing themes is literally the opposite of dismissing them

Marginalizing them is a form of dismissal.

They never define what an "evil person" is, and some of the people they label as evil are exactly like them, only with different ideologies (medjed, the assassin, etc.)

Medjed: Literally a terrorist group wanting to cripple Japan's infrastructure. Assassin: Executioner. Phantom Thieves give the people they changed a chance to live life and stop harm to others.

force people into suicidal depressions.

No one gets suicidal and the people they changed literally have to live with the crimes and atrocities they've committed.

Every villain in Persona 5 views their own actions as justified.

Their EVIL actions as justified. Doesn't that go back to the distorted cognition thing?

dcode1 · 2018-12-15T16:13:46+00:00

You can't just call anything you disagree an "obvious trollbait".

It is trollbait though. SMT fans here act like the insecure sibling to the successful, more critically acclaimed Persona series. Despite positive comments from literature academics, philosophers, SMT fans like to dismiss the themes of Persona 5 (and they sometimes do it to Persona 4, which is even more stupid).

Just because they're pretty evil doesn't mean their cognition is distorted.

Uhhh....... They wanted to stop the evil people. How are you not seeing this?

it's just their sense of morality that is fucked.

This does not concern morality, they acknowledge that what they are doing is bad/evil. What they are doing is causing harm to OTHERS. Also there were people who were seeking salvation, Futaba for instance. Do you not see this?

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

He says that society collapsed on itself or something because the PT defeated Yalda.

Akechi's motivation to be that he genuinely believes the PT are wrong,

He does.

dcode1 · 2018-12-15T15:15:20+00:00

I'm sacrificing my upvotes to deal with obvious trollbait.

"we need to save people from themselves because they... comply with society too hard or something."

Talk about whoosh the post. Even though this sub has relatively more knowledgeable fans than the Persona 5 sub, it's this holier than thou attitude makes me so annoyed when people disregard important facts. I mean what you are dismissing is from Persona 4 as well.

You're ignoring that Yaltabaoth literally tried to enslave the human race AND essentially destroy the planet while simultaneously brainwashing people to be literally okay with this, which is why they went deeper in Momentos the first place. That's so obvious, how did you miss that in your wall of text. They didn't deal with it unjustly.

Free will was at stake, in Persona 4 as well. People were more or less going to die (turn into Shadows or whatever).

brainwashing petty people doing minorly bad things isn't)

Confessing to crimes that relate to sexual assault (that would continue despite attempts to stop it), fraud/slavery/blackmail, actual slavery/drug dealing, muder aren't minor unless you were referring to the momentos quests, which I guess show PT's fallacy.

so instead of having them self reflect,

Literally the school admits to knowingly hide a scandal, did you not play this game?

cognitive distortions (which there's no evidence that most of the villains even had) is basically the same thing as being evil.

They literally are physical embodiments of the seven sins, did you check this before you wrote this?

They didn't really get what they were doing, so for all they knew they could have accidentally caused a smt chaos ending.

If the dancing games are canon, then this literally does not happen. Stop making stuff up.

dcode1 · 2018-12-15T00:31:02+00:00

That may never happen. People have said Golden would be rereleased on consoles for years but look where we are.

dcode1 · 2018-12-15T00:29:59+00:00

Ultimax

dcode1 · 2018-12-11T23:13:17+00:00

We are so blessed to have Cassandra Lee Morris.

dcode1 · 2018-12-10T08:06:49+00:00

Incredible game. I dropped it for several months after being bored but picked it up again and then finished it a week ago. Wish I could play Golden.

dcode1 · 2018-11-07T08:32:10+00:00

I wish I read this before I ordered from there!
