Just want to say it has beena pleasure watching all the highlights of the P5 journey. It's a game that I love and it was awesome seeing all of your reactions and stream conversations during the playthrough. It's also been fantastic seeing how you have expanded your editing skills and incorporating them into the videos. Can't wait for what comes next 😃
YES!!!! SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS 😀
Mangana is the worst thing this world has created, I am terrified
I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil 😪
While I was always a bit disappointed as an old school JRPG nut that the last 2 phases of Maruki basically boil down to a cinematic fight, the crew holding back Adam's fist for Joker to take the shot in undeniably hype.
Thank you so much for this long and magical journey, I am very glad to have been part of it <3
Third semester is 100% my favourite part of the game, despite Mangana lmao the eerie vibes of the start and the bad ending are SOMETHING and i loved your reaction to it all so much (especially to feral akechi, who is the absolute best).
2/2 my detested, i will never be over akechi awakening in that moment ya know…when he feels at home 🙂 ah yes 🙂
Again, thank you for this journey, I will miss it a lot! You're amazing <3
7:35 So remember all the way back in April when Sojiro said that a 15 year old girl died? Well there you have it.
Also love that you’re going through the other Persona games. Persona 4 is my personal favorite just because of the atmosphere with your friends and of course Nanako. It’s a really cozy environment that you don’t get from the other games.
I like how in the ending where you accept Maruki's reality, the final screen that you're shown is all of the characters having fun together and Akechi and Joker just having tea together, everything seems peaceful… that is until you realise that both Akechi and Joker are looking at the screen whilst everyone else is partying, those two were always the most aware of their situation so it seems that even though Akechi may have had his memories wiped when regarding Joker's decision, he still somewhat remembers… whether he's just learnt to accept it because he truly is happy is another question altogether though.

Waiting for Persona 5 Strikers
Good job on the editing hannah
I'm sitting in my own attic of my house, the sound of heavy rain outside, a cup of warm coffee, my two cats snuggled up besides me as I relax indulge and reminisce on the masterpiece of Maruki's Palace. I was close to tears many times. Today's a good day. Thank you.
thank you all so so much for watching. this has been a beautiful journey that i loved so very much, from falling in love with the characters to improving m own editing hahah. i hope you enjoyed the video!!
i am currently playing and nearing the end of persona 4 first playthrough on twitch, should you wish to watch the end go down: https://www.twitch.tv/louiseyhannah
have an amazing day <3
Ugh, I hate "Another Ideology", I hear that, all I can think of is the sleep ending.😡
This was a fantastic journey from start to finish, and I'm happy to have gotten to see it through – I can never go back and play this game for the first time again, but your reactions filled me with that same feeling. Can't wait to watch through your playthroughs of the rest!
Though it still astounds me you went that far without once collecting all the Will Seeds.
The moment you met Aketchi I thought “oh. Oh she’s going to be very effected by the last day.” I was right LOL
Billy Kametz did really amazing work voicing Maruki. His passing this year absolutely gutted me.
🙁
Awesome video and such a great game :3
4:38 I love how Akechi doesn't even debate that you said "morgana". He's like actually yeah that IS weird as fuck but I was thinking about something else
Y’all know Makoto gave Joker a workout after dinner on White Day 😂
So happy to see this…. Literally started your p5r series about a week ago, and finished the previous video two days ago, then you drop the finale today. A couple things:
1) I dunno if you have a video following the stream where you talk about your thoughts on the game, but if so, I'd love to hear them!
2) If you wanna watch someone else's playthru that's been edited down into shorter segments, I'd recommend CrystAHHHL's playthru. She and you both had similar playthrus in a lotta ways, and had similar feelings towards certain characters a fair amount of the time (though, DEF not the same feelings towards ALL characters tho)
3) editing progress = big W
4) (rant about my personal game/endgame experience incoming):
This game was incredible, full stop.
This game is the only game that's ever made me cry lol; I'm def not someone who cries easily. Personally, I didn't cry throughout essentially the whole thing (though I got very close at thinking Ryuji died when trying to leave the ark). But 2/2 thru the final boss got me emotional, and then the day before the final day finally happened, and as I was walking around saying bye to the chrs, I just broke down sobbing. There were a lotta things going on in my personal life at the time that put me in a rly bad mental place, and this game was a light for me in a very dark part of my life (glad to say I'm doing much better now; thank you Jesus ❤️), but yeah. Ended up being one of the most satisfying cries I've ever had tbh lol. Then watching ur playthru today, I almost started tearing up again at that goodbye scene. Dunno why it hits so hard, altho the music is a fairly good guess. Maybe it's just that combined with the fact that you know your journey is over with these incredible characters and such, and quite honestly, having to say goodbye sucks. I truly felt for these characters, and I didn't really realize I could truly feel any sort of really raw emotion for characters that weren't actual people until I played this game. Anyways, rant over lol.
P.S. I Believe has also gotta be my favorite video game song of all time. I'm a big music theory nerd, and I could go into all of the musical intricacies that add up to make the song what it is, but you don't need music theory to tell you that a song is good 😉
5) one final thing: I would recommend you listen to the og p5 ending if you haven't already, tho I'm sure you probably already have. If you're looking for another game with an incredible story, lovable characters, and a totally fire OST, I'd recommend Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. I know ur playing more persona rn, so totally do what ya want 🙂
Again, so happy to see you play this phenomenal, absolutely amazing game. Overly long comment done 😂
Since you have the strikers opening as your outro, will you also be playing it on your channel?
Thanks for the uploads being so much fun watching you go through this great game!!
I genuinely don't understand why people like Akechi. I played vanilla Persona 5 first, then Royal, and I think he makes a great villain because I despised him both in P5 and P5R. He's a remorseless murderer who targets innocent people. He murdered the train conductor in the game opening, leading to a horrible accident. He also murdered Futaba's mother and Haru's father. Yes, Okumura was a shitty father but the Phantom Thieves changed his heart, and Akechi never gave him a chance to change for Haru.
I don't care that much that Akechi openly tells Joker he hates him during level 8 (?) of his Confidant rank, but it just illustrates how he fakes being polite and friendly with Joker and everyone else for the previous ranks. He fakes his personality for most of P5/P5R, and yet we're supposed to think he cares about Joker or anyone else?
People will inevitably argue that Akechi was manipulated as a child/teenager by adults, which is kind of the main theme of P5/P5R, but Akechi seems to enjoy what he does, even revelling in killing people. I'd understand if deep down he was plagued by guilt for his actions, but we never see any evidence of that, just smugness and glee.
Would I say that Akechi is irredeemable? Probably not. Few people are truly irredeemable, but in my mind Akechi made his choice and he doesn't seem to care about the consequences, unlike the Phantom Thievves who worry about doing the right thing even as they're not killing anyone.
Can we appreciate the fact that Joker managed to dome Maruki in a 100 ft Kaiju-Persoma with just a pistol?
Rest In Peace Billy Kametz 😢😢
maruki has probably become my favorite vg villain ever, up there with kefka. i relate a lot to him
The only thing worse about this version of the game is the final cutscene. In the original where Joker's friends drive him home was way better, I think.
I'm so happy to see someone else so passionate about my favorite game. Your perspective and interests were much different then mine but it helped me appreciate the game in new ways.
When Hannah said waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait I felt that
The hangover on this game is brutal. I feel like I lost a bunch of friends.
Which is why I waited a few months and then started playing it again. XD
hope you play P3P when it come out and try FemC path too.
24:07 ‘D’ stealing hearts is the best answer cause it actually lets you through lol
I really hope Strikers is on the table, it's everything you want in a sequel.
I can't be only one that finds Akechi much more approachable when he's using his real expressions. 4:44 his fake smiles before really set out all the alerts in my brain, but by the end of the game he actually looks like someone I would try talking to. He might be unstable and certainly needs some form of professional help, but at least he is being honest about what he thinks and feels, which is much more preferable than trying to bottle it all up. I also can't help but find his snarking tone funny too, as a person who often leans into sarcastic humor.
so strikers?
2:48 to 2:59 is magical. Can someone gif that with all the "wait(s)" just filling up the screen as you say them? Great job with these. I've really enjoyed seeing how your technical prowess has progressed while your emotions have remained the same.
It's a JRPG. Of course they have to fight god.
For Maruki's ending, Joker and Akechi know something is off. It all seems well and good, but they will never be comfortable. No amount of therapy will be able to fix what you did to them.
Don't feel bad about Akechi dying. He's a horrible, psychopathic person and the world is better off without him. He wasn't getting better and he had no desire to get better because he didn't think anything was wrong with him.
The bad ending is brutal but at least Makota doesn't become addicted to drugs and a victim of sex trafficking like if you fail in the Kaneshiro palace.
Vanilla ending is best ending. Don't know why the devs felt we needed to have closure with Maruki, a non interaction with Sumire (what if you romanced her? that's all you would get?), and a lame misdirect with Akechi, instead of having fun with the people we've literally spent dozens and dozens of hours developing relationships with. And considering what happens in Strikers, it makes more sense (granted Strikers is a sequel to Vanilla P5, not P5R).
Thanks for doing these. I'll see you over on the VOD page leaving comments months after your posts.
When I fought Sumire I was like quite pancake 🥞 daddy and mommy are talking right now 😅😂
Maruki is a complex character, I think a part of him knows what he is doing is wrong but he is willing to sacrifice his personal feelings in the pursuit of making the masses enjoy a life without suffering and pain. He knows that the road to hell is paved with good intentions but he's willing to walk down that path himself if it meant that he was doing the right thing.
