>Have him struggle to deteremine whether or not he wants to be on the Phantom Thieves side
I remember before the Goropocalypse, people were speculating he would be antagonistic yet feel conflicted and eventually join the PT. People said that was "generic" but it's a whole lot better than what we got.

I want to date Kawakami! I want to put a ring on Kawakami! I want to marry Kawakami! I want to impregnate Kawakami and rub her swollen belly! I want to rest my head on Kawakami's pregnant belly and feel the baby kicking! I want to raise a family with Kawakami! I want to tell Kawakami how much I love her! I want to grow old with Kawakami!
Claiming bestest girl!
Adam Sanders
I love my Makoto!

Every time I start a new game I laught when Kawakami calls you troublesome cause I know it kills the Kawakamorons inside

So is Yusuke gay?

So on a scale of 1-10 how accurate is this on losing your virginity?

I can't wait to play Persona 5 Goro of the Resurrection!

Sae is a waste.
Carson Long
I don't know why but the idea that a girl could compliment the way you smell makes me feel much more lonely than I thought it would.
Nicholas Clark
Ann is boring
Ryan Fisher
Akechi best boy! Akechi is for Makoto!
Isaac Cook
Last thread didn't hit image limit. Post more to compensate.
Jackson Ramirez
Actually thanks, good user!
Dylan Rodriguez
I think him joining the PT would be interesting and not generic at all.
Because for one, it wouldn't be permanent. He'd help them until at least Shido's heart was stolen, and then he might even help them against Yaldy, but after that he would probably have to turn himself in, or do something else that would have him forever repenting for the people he killed.
PT wouldn't just let him get away with all of that.
Robert Garcia
>rank 4 with mitsuru >already conflicted and struggling to ask you out for christmas during a koromaru walk that's cute
Julian Martin
I think he likes ann desu

Losing your virginity is pretending you know what you're doing but failing spectacularly but it not mattering because you're having sex.
Adam Baker
Haru and Futaba for threesome

There is no such thing as a straight Persona character

but in all seriousness, fuck off with your image limit shit

You imposter! I love my Makoto!

I want to date Yukari! I want to put a ring on Yukari! I want to marry Yukari! I want to impregnate Yukari and rub her swollen belly! I want to rest my head on Yukari's pregnant belly and feel the baby kicking! I want to raise a family with Yukari! I want to tell Yukari how much I love her! I want to grow old with Yukari!
Yukari is love Yukari is life Yukari WILL be my wife
Yukari is mine

I hate everyone and I hate all the girls in this series and I hate all their fans. I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate you all so so much. You all deserve a mental shutdown

>Goro didn't suddenly appear in Yaldy's fight to help you >He didn't even cheer for you either
So disappointed.
Jackson Morgan
I can't ship Yaldy and Joker. What was Atlus thinking? Come on, man.
Benjamin Barnes
They go out to celebrate after each sucessful job. After Kaneshiro, they went to the sushi restaurant.
You need to replay the game

>Makoto x Joker >Anne x Ryuji >Futaba x Yusuke >Haru x Goro
Daily reminder that this is the optimal pairing in P5

Luke Morgan
What are some cool demons SMT/Persona introduced you to? I thought Hariti and the Morae Sisters were cool
Carson Powell
I love Naoto
Joseph Price
I really think that would be the best ending for him. He convinces them to let him make amends by assisting with the rest of their journey, but once the metaverse is gone and Yaldy has been defeated, he turns himself in. Perhaps by then he's developed a relationship with some of them, and is still despised by others, but in the end he turns himself in so that he can atone regardless.
Austin Sanders
Nah we're not doing this shit
Jayden Fisher
Maybe in Crimson?
How popular is Akechi in Japan?
Popular enough that they would completely change how he died/didn't die in the remake?
Grayson Walker
Wrong
Brandon Stewart
I love my Makoto too! sometimes i pose as you if i dont see your specific post
Christopher King
That's the other half of it. In Japan, if someone with authority tells you to do something bad and you do it, most of the blame ends up on your superior. Shido is seen as the real guilty party. And he really kind of is.
But it still really doesn't let him off the hook. But it's important to note the cultural differences in these cases.
Ethan Campbell
I don't understand why people say Goro was written poorly. What would you have changed about him? The thing I dislike the most about him is his resolution but Atlus is going to change that probably. Wonder why they made it so ambiguous in the first place.
James Ward
How many shitty ritual shitpost does this thread need
Christopher Morales
How does the turning in even work? Shido already confessed his crimes. If anything the police will think he's trying to lay off Shido from his crimes.
I've done it once or twice myself as well... I'm too used to seeing it.
Xavier Martin
How many shitty ritual shitpost does this thread need
Carson Morris
Where are her pants?
Jacob Peterson
We need at least 250 ritual post with images included, tho.
Isaac Lee
they fuggin?
Charles Davis
That'd be a horrible asspull.
Josiah Gutierrez
I think Goro is definitely very popular in Japan. Atlus will bring him back since they love money.
I think Goro definitely needs to do something to atone, but I don't see how he's unredeemable compared to other anime characters. People act like his actions are unprecedented or something.
Noah Phillips
Summon hotpockets
No but they should
Nolan Roberts
The only accepted ones are Anne is! and Sumaru.
I can't imagine what Reiji went through having a single mom and him being a bastard while the baby daddy coming to beat the shit out of his mom.
Same with Goro. He's the double whammy.
Samuel Phillips
Ask again in the next thread and all subsequent threads.
Ryan Martin
She can either remember to put pants on or set up cameras, not both
Austin Howard
Is there a tracksuit costume set?
Justin Jackson
She was weirdly cold to her. Maybe this is once again due to her shitty writing, though, since everyone else gave her a warm welcome from the beginning. Not to mention hitting Yusuke for saving her life, twice, once outside Leblanc and once in the Metaverse. Yukari did that to MC in P3 and every shat on her for it, but Ann did that to Yusuke and no one batted an eye. Ann did apologize, but so did Yukari.
Henry Martinez
>What would you have changed about him?
Didn't we just have this discussion 3 minutes ago?
Aren't we still having it?
Well, all he'd have to do is admit to causing the mental shutdowns. That should be separate from Shido.
Isaac Johnson
Has been falling in popularity ranking lately
Chase Brooks
Didn't Shinji cheer for you in Persona 3 ?
Jason Rogers
I beat you think you're real fucking funny sitting in your room on your shitty 2011 phone giggling to yourself as you repost this shit.
Jason Walker
I know that. What I mean is that it's less personal.
3-4 characters made for more meaningful interaction than a whole bunch making one comment on something meaningless.
Josiah Young
That's where the cameras are, though.
Cameron Price
No way fag.
Jason Anderson
>Midriff
Matthew Sanchez
that durr how you eat burger rank in mitsuru's s. link seems to have been exaggerated. it was short but it seemed like the bulk of it was just her apologizing for putting so many responsibilities on you, then establishing that time passes quickly when you're together
Chase Carter
>realize for all the squatting Futaba does I don't think she's ever in a track suit. Well, fuck.
Jeremiah Sullivan
>"P-put it in where?"
Jack Williams
No because Japan has shit taste 95% of the time
Jacob Harris
Well, maybe you're right about that. But regardless, he'd probably have to find something to do afterwards, since even if there's people in the group that come around to him, and if you play Joker as someone who sympathizes and likes him, I can't imagine it would be easy to reconcile with people like Haru, Futaba, and Ryuji. Basically, as much as I would like to see him eventually become a Phantom Thief for real, I don't see it being likely from a realistic standpoint. Though it probably will happen anyways since he's popular in Japan.
Jordan Hill
It depends on the person.
Robert Russell
Phantom is from Sumaru City!
Jonathan Garcia
>that durr how you eat burger rank in mitsuru's s. link seems to have been exaggerated. If you stay here long enough, you may begin to see a trend.
Alexander James
Ann decided to take matters into her own hands.
Nicholas Richardson
more fun mementos facts >Haru and Futaba want to know what it's like to turn into a car >Yusuke once aced an exam by drawing something on the back of it >Makoto calls Goro the "ultimate ally" for uncovering secrets >Yusuke has not changed the channel on his television since he lost the remote >Yusuke's room is a wreck, but he considers it to be completely functional >Anne would rather wear Haru's outfit than her own >Yusuke likes to doodle on the inside of Morgana >Ryuji accidentally admits that he thinks Makoto is more manly than he is
Michael Johnson
What does this meme mean
What is Sumaru City
Joseph Robinson
Anal is kind of dangerous and disgusting, so I would never ask for anal.
Jaxon Lee
Shinji died as bro and was part of SEES. Akechi was your enemy who was never part of the PT, he recognized his foolishness in the end but he never was part of the group
Connor Cruz
latest official poll was split into categories but had him at #2 for non-party character (after justine/caroline/lavenza combined)
reiji was kind of a mess in p1 because of his upbringing
it's a miracle he kind of gets his shit together eventually
Mason Murphy
...
Blake Reed
still a better character than Anne desu
Juan Lewis
>but I don't see how he's unredeemable compared to other anime characters PT exaggerated sympathy to Goro is nothing compare to Naruto's sudden respect to Obito/Tobi
Oliver Harris
Aptly put
If they wanted to make him a good villain then he should have stuck to his convictions to the bitter end. They could've written him to be a great rival to Joker and there was something there but it wasn't fully realized I don't think.
Like make it clear that while the PT (or hell, even just some of them) understand where Akechi is coming from, they would still acknowledge that he's fucked up and dangerous. Write out the "friends and teammates are for losers" bit, if anything play up his pride, like he made it that far just on his own with his own skills, maybe have a tinge of jealousy towards Joker since Joker has genuine connections but then he reminds himself of his own accomplishments.
The fact that Akechi is also a Wild Card feels like an afterthought. They could've easily written that part out and just explain that Loki evolved from Robin Hood just like the teammates evolutions. Because otherwise it just begs the question, how is Akechi a Wild Card? Isn't the point of being a Wild Card like... your connections with people which allows you to use multiple Personas? Unless one makes the argument that Cu Chulainn and Cerberus were Personas that Akechi commanded but it seemed more like they were just regular Shadows.
Josiah King
Akechi was behind Justine/Caroline/Lavenza?
Jesus christ that sounds horrible.
Nathaniel White
every time Makoto gives a nervous sigh I get an erection
Matthew Gomez
Sumaru City is a fictional city in Japan and the setting of Persona 2. In some early pre-release media Joker was vaguely referred to as being from a particular city but didn't name which one. So /pg/ came up with the meme that Joker is from Samaru
Hunter Flores
How come Akechi can't at least rejoin you with the goal of taking down Shido in mind when Alvin of Tales of Xilla betrays you 8 times and is kept around because he can fight the bigger villains?
Parker Butler
>It's less personal Didn't feel that way.
>3-4 characters made for more meaningful interaction than a whole bunch making one comment on something meaningless. What is meaningless for you? The buffet scene was full of pointless SOL, wouldn't you call that meaningless? New characters brought forth new interactions and reactions. They were good.
Nathaniel Kelly
That's fucking dumb. I'm replaying and I'm on the volleyball match day. Just now realizing how much I like the track suits
Kevin Martin
Hey guys. Midnight animal.
Nolan Phillips
Do you want Persona to be more like Tales?
Brody Price
But then why is the meme "Phantom is from Sumaru City" instead of Joker?
Nathan Fisher
At least the PT doesn't outright say they forgive Goro for the stuff they did. Kishimoto can't write a bad guy without having a face turn written into their character arc despite whatever fucked up shit they did
Andrew Ward
It really is considering he actually murdered Kandori. Even though he ruined it by knocking up some chick, it's really surprising how he turned it around to try and be a good father/provider.
Isaiah Thomas
cu chulainn and cerberus were explicitly just shadows
Brandon Long
So does groo
Ian Rodriguez
>Yeah People parrot the same memes so much that it becomes reality to them.
Nathaniel Williams
shido already took responsibility for the mental shutdowns, unless goro somehow manages to back his own confession up with proof it wouldn't be enough to overturn that
japan's legal system is kind of fucked
combining votes for three characters does that
splitting that poll into categories probably didn't help either, a lot of people who like justine/caroline usually prefer one of the party members so in a combined poll they'd likely have less votes
