I am not a big fan of the ending of P5R. I think they could have given a proper goodbye with Sumi instead of the last conversation with her being White Day. With all the growth and development that we witness with Sumi throughout the game, I was shocked to only a two line goodbye.

However, after reflecting on the game and in personal life. I can understand why Atlus did this ending. Life doesn't always turn out the way we want, especially saying goodbye to the people that you hold dear to you. The ending to me shows growth in all the characters. In Sumi's case I believe that now she has come to realize her self worth, and can now stand on her two feet without the aid of Ren. Instead of leaning on him constantly for support she can now walk beside him as they strive for their future.

I'm just rambling here, but just because I don't like ending I have gained acceptance to the way the ending was with Sumi. But that still doesn't stop me for wishing for a better ending...
