Let me get this straight.... this is the BAD ending that I'm not supposed to choose? The horrible reality where everyone's parents are alive, nobody gets raped or mistreated and they can all fulfill their dreams? And I'm supposed to keep playing to destroy all this?
Let me get this straight.... this is the BAD ending that I'm not supposed to choose...
maruki could have just revived kasumi
It's part of a centuries old world wide demoralization campaign to implant the idea that a better world is never possible. Suffer and cope says the gods of our world.
rape builds character
Boomer mentality of people having to suffer to build character is contagious
maruki has complete control. if he ever changes his mind and decides to make the entire world rapetopia one day nobody can stop him, he is basically the only actual person left on the planet.

Sorry, Anon. I Know you loved your wife, but Ugly Bastard-Sama is obsessed with her.
If I change reality so that she's with him and you're alone, the overall happiness in the world increases because you cope with the loss and your wife's disgust slowly turns into an empty apathy
That's the way it is in my perfect work
Marukicucks deserve the rope, just like NTRfags.
t. zoomoid who gets a panic attack when having to make phone call
I'm going to use my godlike powers so everyone loves diversity and we all live with smiles and sunshine based on my personal beliefs
Does it click at all yet?
The fact that Maruki has a Palace proves that he is objectively wrong on a metaphysical level. If he were right he wouldn't have one.
Proof that Maellefags are actual eternal retards. The "Bad ending" lesson should have been learned in FFTactics Advance, then in P5R already.
But three times is not a charm for sub-saharian IQ niggers I guess.
you should consider playing the game, it addresses just about every possible argument you could have about it
TFW pretty girls never took pictures with me.
The end is literally just solved by a random demon
The whole ending is just a random demon shows up, wins, the end
the pacing in the third semester was so fucking ass. also i kinda hate a villain who's kinda limpdicked and is pretty much "oh just beat me i guess or don't, i don't care either way"
Haru is at least a Norwood 3
P5R shares some superficial similarities with the escapism stuff, but it's really very different
Maruki's version of happiness is essentially to follow the path of least resistance.
Are you sad your leg injury will prevent you from winning the big tournament? Good news, you actually don't like the sport now, so problem solved.
Unrequited love gotten you feeling bad? Congrats, you're asexual now, no big deal, bud.
Are you suffering from intense survivor's guilt and wish you had died instead? ok, sure, that's fine, let's do that I guess.
?? did you skip every cutscene or something? it's not random.
if the god of water chooses you as their avatar and comes to your aid to put out the greatest fire of all time, do you call that random?
That motherfucker is a cat not a boy.
He should earn his body to score like TEDDIE instead of wishing and doing nothing.
akechi know about everything and can kill maruki it's too risky
le escapism
Choose between a good and a bad world, it's not that hard unless you're a masochist
Why wasn't mishima allowed in our clique
I hope that this simulation we’re living in is run by someone similar to Maruki. I want us to all experience paradise in the afterlife. Screw Christians and their God, I want a world full of freedom and endless fun in the afterlife.
Tell me, if this is a world where everything goes right and everyone is happy, why is Joker attending Shujin? How does he know any of these people, who he only bonded with through hardship?
Because we needed a faggot artist or something, I don't know.
Just overdose on heroin and leave everyone else out of your weird suicidal fantasy of feeling infinite bliss all the time
but it's really very different
And yet even Reddit retards understood that being the puppets of an allmighty demiurge was le bad.
Most people are unfortunately gay and like to get fucked by life
This is why E33 is better
I want a world full of freedom
So... the total opposite of Maruki's world gotcha!
When he says "freedom" he doesn't mean actual freedom, he means he wants to feel like he has freedom.
If you follow the conversations with NPCs around town during the Royal content it shows them slowly becoming aware that there's something wrong with their "perfect" lives.
In essence Maruki's world is just one large uncanny valley where, as comfortable as people may be, they'll always feel a lack of fulfillment and the creeping sensation that something's wrong, especially as the happy narratives Maruki provides them become more and more undeniably improbable.
Doesn't the third semester sorta start out with the entire gang getting amnesia BECAUSE all their problems have been undone so they didn't have any reason to associate with each other/become the PT?
Maruki probably doesn't want to change TOO much in terms of what's already established because that leads to more potential cracks within the dream for people to question.
if you accept this reality, you cannot complain about “you will own nothing and be happy” tier type shit. live in the pod and eat bugs bitch
Wouldn't Maruki either make it so Ugly Bastard didn't become obsessed with your wife in the first place or vice versa?
another slave taking the escapism pill
Enjoy never doing anything with your life
This thread again
Maruki's reality isn't "make your dreams come true" it's "path of least resistance and less conflict" hence examples like the office worker who wanted to take a vacation turned into someone excited to come into work or the new parents having their child suddenly disappear.
Reminder that most of Anon Babble has a crabs in a bucket mentality and want you to be sad enough you think posting on Anon Babble is a good idea. Maruki did nothing wrong
Stop invalidating my shitposting.
Akechi was a mass murderer who tried to kill the PT's leader; how come in the royal arc all the characters acted like he was one of their friends? Did the people he kill just not matter much to the phantom thieves?
He was forgiven because Akechi is fujobait and thus an avenue to revanue for Fatlus
le slaves
Why do midwits think they aren't slaves?
Most anons on this site think they rose above everyone else on the planet because they post on Anon Babble
can you fuckers just play or read
NOOO you can't just make it so Shiho never got raped!
She'll never grow as a person!
Madara....
Madara was right.
Maruki was right.
Maelle was right.
I did both, and I don't remember any of them mentioning any of the evil shit he did, and I definitely remember the PT acting super depressed Akechi was dead even though he was 100x worse than guys like Madarame or Kamoshida
it's not super depressed, it's pity you very smart brazilian guy you
Anons and tumblrtards would get paired up because there is less suffering if each just got along
T...thanks Maruki-san.
Stop escaping to dreams and face your life, you're only going to stagnant in false happiness under Maruki. He couldn't even give himself a happy life with his compromised, shallow power
The game shows you that Maruki believes pursuing your dreams is wrong because you might fail and that would make you feel bad.
BUT THE REAL KICKER IS THIS MOTHERFUCKER HAD SUMIRE BELIEVE SHE WAS HER DEAD SISTER AND ACT LIKE HER
THINK YOU DUMB CUNT
THINK
IMAGINE BEING SUMIRE'S PARENTS
YOUR DAUGHTER DIED AND NOW YOUR OTHER DAUGHTER HAS STARTED TO PERFORM PERSONALITY DEATH IN AN ATTEMPT TO BE HER SISTER
INSTEAD OF LOSING ONE DAUGHTER, YOU LOST BOTH. IN THEIR PLACE YOU HAVE A SICK PARODY OF ONE DAUGHTER IN THE SKIN OF THE OTHER
MARUKI TOOK SUMIRE AWAY FROM HER PARENTS IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE SUMIRE FEEL BETTER, COMPLETELY IGNORING HOW HIS METHOD OF HELPING SUMIRE WOULD HURT HER PARENTS
AND THIS IS THE MOTHERFUCKER YOU THINK SHOULD BE IN CHARGE OF SPREADING HAPPINESS TO THE WORLD?
THIS DUMB CUNT?
NO YOUR NAME IS NOT SUMIRE IT IS KASUMI AND YOU ARE HAPPIER BEING SOMEONE ELSE
Akechi's redemption pissed me off because he's pretty much a worse version of Adachi who explicitly didn't get that treatment.
Akechi is a moron who killed a bunch of innocent people to help a evil person (who he hates btw) gain unlimited political power solely to aura farm when he eventually betrays him. Only his dumbass plan fails because he didn't realize that the evil politician ordering assassinations wouldn't trust his hitman
I like the Phantom Thieves more than the investigation team
who the fuck let akechi in that frame
sneaky ass nigga
I'm sorry but I think it would be better if Sumire just fucking died as a personality so she can be Kasumi. Now she can grieve for her dead twin instead of grieving for her dead twin while wearing glasses. :)
the idea that a better world is never possible
That's literally Maruki's driving belief retard. That it's impossible for anyone to be happy after the shit they've gone through and he needs to offer them a way out, a static unchanging world where you aren't responsible for your own happiness.
Who was worse, Maruki or Maelle?
Marking. Because he's too old to be as fucking stupid as he is.
bro his endgame is having daddy say "I WAS WRONG AHHH SORRY FOR ABANDONING YOU" for all his intelligence he's a massive fucking retard
Maruki was right and you fags would do anything to live in his perfect world. Bunch of faggots hypocrites.
Hell will freeze over before I let people I dislike be happy.
I don't want to live a world where I like my shitty wage cage job because that'd be the best and least resistant path for everyone involved.
He would make it so you never had a wife and started painting instead
eh, if I have to be a wagie any way I might as well enjoy it. Give me a cute gf and I will become spongebob pilled doc
But in my perfect world the niggers are all dead. But Maruki would just make me like niggers.
I refuse to like niggers.
Give me a cute gf
The best I can do is; Now you're happy dying alone.
Yeah lets hang everyones happiness on a single person who is jsut as vulnerable to losing his shit as anyone else
We do that anyway
they all fucking hate each other and that's hilarious
But we don't pretend its good.
Maruki makes your waifu real
you have to share her with 1000 other guys who also want her
Yeah instead you have faggots that just moan how things could be better and never better themsleves
Sumire lost her shit when her sister died and was miserable
instead of bringing Kasumi back (like he did with Futaba's mom), he just leaves her dead because he thinks being Kasumi would make Sumire happier than her being alive
Because it's better to face reality and try to change your situation by your own terms instead of relying on some egomaniac who can't even face his own demons.
Morgana hates everyone except Joker and Ann, and Futaba is just kind of an asshole to everyone. Plus they all hate Ryuji.
whole team treats the best character as a nuisance or a freak
They don't deserve him
Maruki, Maelle's a dumb kid mainlining heroin. Maruki's just a bad psychologist given the powers of a god.
futaba is the average Anon so that makes sense
what they don't show you is the Shadow Operatives suiciding Maruki with two bullets in the back of the head right after the credits roll
is your name Doned?
The absolute irony posting this, when you are probably a neet who never leaves the house and just spergs on 4chins all day.
There's an instance in the actual game where a couple gets broken up so a girl starts dating her stalker, and while he's happy to be with her, she feels a weird sense of discomfort she can't place.
Maruki will cuck you if he thinks the bull would be happier with your wife.
AAA MARUKI BROUGHT MY DEAD MOM BACK TO LIFE AND NOW I HAVE TO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE SOMEBODY SAVE MEEEE
Yeah but your best friend REALLY wants to fuck your mother so say hi to your new dad.
I know, it's pretty obnoxious
You mean the fake reality where anyone not affected realizes it's wrong, where simply being told your mom isn't real deletes her from existence, all under the "benevolent" tyranny of an autistic faggot who experimented on a mentally ill girl to make her think she was her sister without the consent of her or anyone else while leaving everyone around her to believe that she was a complete lunatic?
