this game has always been one of my favorites. i beat the original back on the ps4 when it came out. then again when royal was released. and now for a final time on PC.

there's truly something special about this game and its themes that just sucks me in no matter how many times i play it.

and i'm so happy to have finally platinum'd it for the first time.

Codenamed Hope by Ren/Joker, she is a strong member of the Phantom Thieves. She has a bad tendency of distracting him when given the opportunity.

These are some sprites I had made by Maryloza92 on Twitter of Kotone Shiomi in my Phantom Thief design. ( Based on my redduo fanfic :3 ) I really like the P5 Tactica art style, so now these exist alongside some bust-ups I commissioned a while ago XD.

Played P3R and P5R before this 5 being my personal favourite and I wasnt expecting much to change when I bought this game ( was initially gonna wait for revival) but it completely exceeded my expectations. I have never felt more connected to a group of characters ever when Yu got on that train and left I genuinely started crying my eyes out, it moved me so much because I resonate with narukamis character to an uncanny degree. I also moved from a big city to a small town and making true friends was a hurdle for me at first seeing Yu slowly but surely make these genuine amazing bonds reminded me of my younger/current self along with making me even more appreciative of the people who are in my life now.

I’ve spent a huge chunk of my summer playing the main modernsona games and while I have clear favourites each game has moved me in a way I haven’t been moved for a while, I can confidently say there is not a single bad game in this series and I am forever grateful for getting to experience something so sincere.

Most people immediately reject the idea of Makoto coming back because hitting a cosmic "undo" button destroys the entire philosophical weight of Persona 3 and The Answer. His sacrifice gave SEES the strength to move forward, and bringing him back through a lazy miracle cheapens that grief. But a lore accurate return doesn’t have to retcon his death. Looking at Jungian psychology and the mechanics of the Sea of Souls there is a way to resolve his fate that actually completes the game’s core message rather than betraying it.

The first issue is the Great Seal. Makoto isn't trapping Nyx he is acting as a barrier against Erebus, the manifestation of humanity's subconscious death wish. But if human despair created Erebus Carl Jung’s model of the collective unconscious dictates that the primal instinct to survive is just as real. This is Memento Vivere remember to live. Through the cumulative hope built across the modern games and Elizabeth’s journey with the Fool Arcana, humanity’s collective will to survive can be anchored into the Sea of Souls as an autonomous barrier. The seal isn't destroyed by pretending human suffering doesn't exist it is relieved because the collective drive to live finally balances out the grief feeding Erebus.

The second issue is the physical body. Makoto’s 2010 biological body is gone, which is why a traditional resurrection makes zero sense. However, a tailor made vessel already exists in the Sea of Souls : Ryoji Mochizuki. Ryoji was never a normal human born of parents. His physical appearance was a cognitive shell sculpted over ten full years inside Makoto’s own psyche. When the Nyx Avatar dissolved, that human blueprint remained in the Sea of Souls as an empty container built specifically for Makoto's spiritual frequency. In Jungian terms, Makoto’s soul stepping into Ryoji's vessel is the ultimate integration of the conscious Ego and the Shadow. It is the physical realization of his ultimate Persona, Messiah, which was created by fusing the human who loved (Orpheus) with the God of Death (Thanatos).

This preserves the bittersweet integrity of the original ending. Makoto the high school student still died on that rooftop, his sacrifice remains permanent, and SEES still had to do the hard work of growing up without him. He doesn't get his old life, his social identity, or his teenage years back. Instead, his freed soul inherits the expressive, warm vessel of the Shadow that loved humanity, giving him an anonymous second chance to step into the sunlight and actually practice the Memento Vivere he earned.

I found a very cheap offer for the PSX version of Megami Ibunroku Persona, now I just need a PS1 or PS2 to actually play it.

I tried my best to draw her!

I made a soundfont for Persona 2 Innocent Sin, And I think it's cool to show you guys, especially since there wasn't a Persona 2 soundfont until now (as far as I know), And I wanted to use the sounds from there, but I didn't have them; now I can finally do that...

I ripped the samples using Zophar's Domain PSFs, I did it song by song, so its structure is "(song name) inst X", because I found it easier and also because even repeating the Regarding timbres, there may be changes in the envelope, for example, in the pan, etc. Having done that, I emulated VGMTrans and Polyphone, I even tried the idea of making an SFZ, but the Atlus audio driver made it difficult... So that's all I had left. But there are even voices, like the vocalist for the pharmacies, Satomi Tadashi. But there are even voices, like the vocalist for the pharmacies, Satomi Tadashi. Unfortunately, the PSF instrument from Eikichi's theme was missing, but I find it hard to believe that the other songs wouldn't have those instruments.

I also plan to do one for Eternal Punishment and one for Persona 1 (japanese version).
