I would have loved if the card said: Masayoshi Shido, the unforgiving bastard of pride. We know that you want to overthrow Japan’s government and replace it with a dictatorship and you used Goro Akechi to kill those you considered your enemies. Tonight we will bring you to true justice for good. From the Phantom Thieves.
I wouldn't say he ruined his life. He definitely made it worse, but Joker met the phantom thieves, and saved the fuckin world like twice. That wouldn't have happened without shido. Then again, it wouldn't need saving without shido.
This was one of the coolest cutscenes in any game ever. Then joker comes forward and calls shido out, then you get "life will change" for the second to last time.
As much as I enjoy a reason to continue playing (Yaldabaoth), part of me does wish that the game ended with Shido as the final boss. I feel it’s a much more fitting conclusion than randomly shoving in “let’s go kill god because this is an RPG”. Like the Yaldabaoth arc doesn’t come out of completely nowhere, but it’s sort of jarring in a way. I honestly think it causes Yaldabaoth to heavily overshadow Shido, which causes Shido to not be nearly remembered as being the good antagonist he is.
@@Mr__Jack I think it all happened too fast. You beat shido, people instantly go from being hype about the phantom thieves to not caring, then (what feels like) the next day, you find out that the villain was the public all along and that sending the palace rulers to the general public was a bad thing, KILL GOD, MORGANAS GONE, MORGANAS BACK, THE END. You're given about a month after every palace ruler's confession to really soak in that victory and see what the public thinks. But with Shido, the biggest, most personal villain so far, you're given about a week with ZERO public reaction. I understand it from a story perspective since its basically letting you know that this next villain controls the public, but Shido should have been a more satisfying win. And I say all this but I freaking love the game, I lost my P5R save about 80 hours in and still felt like it'd be worth it to play it all over again, Im in the bonus content of P5R right now so please don't reply with a spoiler for that stuff
@@websiteanimex Yes exactly Satanael is a bringer of free will as compared to Yaldabaoth’s control! In some Gnostic interpretations Satanael served Yaldabaoth only rebelling when realizing he wasn’t the true god. Satanael gave humanity the knowledge to liberate themselves from the control of Yaldabaoth.
There is nothing more satisfying than watching Shido go ballistic at the realization you’re coming for his heart and there is *nothing* he can do to stop you.
“You stole my moms research and took her life!” “Youre the reason my father is dead” “You rejected Akechi and killed him!” *Waffles steps forward* “I was expelled because of you”
Missed opportunity to have everyone use their Personas for that broadcast, since they can in fact talk and have free will. Arsene even speaks to us directly on multiple occasions. Imagine if Arsene was the one who went "My death was greatly exaggerated.".
@@dmitriydubovetsky5778my first time seeing P5R and thinking shido was the final boss when he kicks all the other party members out I thought you were gonna get arsene as a party member especially given arsene’s line about returning when needed
Yeah! Those officers cannot do shit like the Phantom Thieves do. Sae on the other hand is willing to use brute force to get answers without a second thought.
So clearly the Thieves had to be in the metaverse to take that video of them all alive but we know from the first palace that cameras don’t work in the metaverse so how would they have done it?
That's the fun part! We don't actually know that, all we know is that their phones (Which has the metanav on it so logically shouldn't work0 don't work, We earlier see a laptop working just fine in the metaverse implying that it's an issue limited to said phones.
Nobody's gonna talk about the crowd? Alright. I haven't seen many animes, but from what I watched and played, all the sounds people make, the short grunts, hums, and all that always stands out to me as annoying. ESPECIALLY in Kingdom Hearts, oh my god, I could do a tight edit compilation of every anime grunt there and it'd probably be a lil under an hour long. But this scene right here, the crowd actually sounds like actual people in public with an actual reaction. It sounds so genuine and the fact that this amount of effort was put into the generic people's voice acting in this scene and even the short bits while you're running through the market really makes the world feel alive. Don't even get me started on Yaldabaoth Day, all that real panic, and then all the real cheer of support. Fucking hell the npc voice acting is surprisingly so amazing. Makes me wanna skip every cutscene in Kingdom Hearts forever.
I recently just got into Persona 5 myself. Bloody masterpiece of a game. I wish I'd gotten into it sooner. This kind of stuff is what makes this game great.
You know what I wanted Joker to say to Shido after he defeated him? "This time I'll sue you", a callback to when they first met, Shido said "damn brat, I'll sue"
Of course. Shido just cares about being elected. And even after to those who assisted his shady action, Shido will kill them because they knew too much like Akechi.
I thought Shido didn't know though? Either way, if Nakamura treated Haru as simply an asset even though she's been with him from birth, I don't expect Shido to have any emotional ties to a bastard child he didn't even know about.
@@vulthurmir2478 I remember him saying that but it felt to me like he had more of a suspicion than anything else. I reckon he's been with plenty of women over the years and has bastards all over Japan. Hell, he was with a woman the night he ruined Joker's life
@suyogv8235 you know what wouldve been better? If we got to play as the whole squad instead of just marcus. And more than one mission. Wouldve made it not as stale and repetitive
Yo! What is UP! Everybody! We are the ones who you all know as the Phantom Thieves. And all of us are alive and kickin'. But those shitty guys in power? They've been manipulatin' information to try and hide the truth. So, before we appropriate our next target, we would like to first burrow your time! The recent scandals of public figures, the accidents caused by psychotic breakdowns and mental shutdowns -- These weren't caused by unknown reasons. One man is behind every single instance...simply to satiate his own greed. That man was afraid his crimes would be exposed and shifted the blame on us. He even manipulated the police for that. We only steal the hearts of criminals. But this asshole tried to dump what he did on us. That just shows he doesn't care about the victims at all! The identity of that cowardly man is -- (Police stops broadcast only for Futaba to advance it) The man behind it all is a current cabinet member of all things. The Minister of State for Special Missions...Masayoshi Shido! Everything that guy says is a lie! And to prove that...Look! As you can see, all of us are alive and kickin'! I'm sure the people investigating us can tell if this is a lie or not. Shido himself will soon confess all the crimes that he's committed. Please look forward to it, everyone! We're not gonna sit back and watch some crook wreck this country just 'cause of his goddamn ego. Ain't that right, Leader? (Protagonist speaks) Yes. Before that happens, we will take this country! Late? Yes. Still fine? Yes.
Goddamn. Futaba's on another level. Knowing what tools a security system has is one thing, but she countered their defenses with a single keystroke. In other words, she had the command ready before it fired- she _knew what they were thinking._
I remember being in futaba or okumura’s palace when I started to wonder if calling cards had to be physical cards, as all you really need to do is make the person aware their heart could be stolen, which means it didn’t have to be a card. I thought to myself “It would be cool as hell if they broadcasted a calling card for the final palace” and then the second futaba said she had an idea before raiding shidos palace, I realised that I was going to get what I wished for.
Wait now that Royal changed the opening song... is this the only time in game that Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There plays? Outside of thieve's den, of course... but havent finished Royal yet so idk if something happens before the Holy Grail... or if maybe they added a new final boss or something.
@Charon the Toaster Yeah, I beat it a few weeks after posting the comment (suspected as much when I posted it given Golden had similar treatment) ... though I dont remember anymore if Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There plays during the new section at all... I wanna say no, but idk.
You've got to thank Futaba for that one. Her Persona is special in that she can use it to manipulate everything in the Palace to your favor whenever she can.
this scene is just a catharsis moment, like after having the entire month of october and november just clenching our buttocks from all the shit the team have to deal with, the anxiety, the fear and paranoia, this moment is just fucking amazing.
Oracle: you killed my mom and made me a social privated child! Noir: you gave my dead a heart attack in live! Queen: youre the one behind of the slaughter of the school president! *joker steps forward* Joker: you got me expelled of my school

I literally find it hard to get these confidants at rank 9 so literally only Ohya and Mishima were there :( plus my dumbass didn’t get Haru social link
I'd definitely understand that if you were on your first run of the game, especially since you needed to work on your social stats regularly in order to progress through certain ranks of your Confidants or sometimes even start them. Thankfully, New Game+ does have whatever social stat ranks you had in your previous run carry over to the next one, among several other things. Of course, you'd still have to plan in-game days fairly carefully if you wanna max everyone out (especially Haru lol).
@@shyguygaming5397 Not much of a bigger Calling Card than a widespread broadcast through all of Japan, if you ask me. And considering that was being recorded by several people, and probably uploaded and viewed again and again by the world at large? Yeah, pretty official Calling Card if you ask me.
replace Shido with trump...how fitting. Name: Donald J Trump Location: the entire U.S.A. Distortion: Trump Tower. Candidate found. stand by for navigation.
@@JokerLord420 Can you explain or are you just going to piggyback on what others say? Because your comment can also be applied to Obama, Bush, Clinton, Pelosi, Schummer, Biden, and Soros.
Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan John-117 Donald Trump is nothing more than an arrogant scumbag! He called COVID-19 a hoax and guess what? 5 million confirmed cases, 165K deaths. All of those souls lost because he cares about his next golfing match. Want me to go on? Because I have better things to do than waste my time with dumbasses like yourself!
