Persona 5 Royal thread, feat. @xBlackRequiemx (this thread will include spoilers for the original game):

I WILL fuck Goro Akechi right on the Velvet Room floor, Igor. Don’t toy with me.

It’s probably a pretty comfortable place to rail said customer, too.

Check back with us in about 20 hours.

The guidance counselor is adorable.

I CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH COCKTEASING, PLEASE

WE’RE GETTING A LITTLE SPICY NOW, AREN’T WE, DOC?

Goroshadowing = foreshadowing the appearance of best boy, Goro Akechi

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BETRAYAL AND HE BROUGHT UP THE PAIN OF A BROKEN HEART WHAT IS GOING ON

We’ve decided that the guidance counselor is our side side squeeze. He gives us snacks.

IT IS JUNE

IT’S ONLY RANK ONE AND SHUAKE IS ALREADY GAYER THAN BEFORE

This game is really going out of its way to establish early-on that Akechi is sympathetic. I’m speechless.

STOP

“Angel detective”... “serious pretty boy”... We love it here.

“As rivals?”

YOU’RE WHAT?!?!

THIS IS A DATE! THIS IS A DATE AND HE’S PAYING!

?????

MOM I LOVE HIM

I’M LOSING MY GODDAMN MIND

This feels like a parallel dimension.

“Are you used to gunplay?”

Things we’ve confirmed as of rank 5: Goro absolutely cannot cook to save his life, never has time to make food for himself, lives alone, and aspired to be a hero of justice as a kid. We even got the image of him running around with a toy gun to boot.

Additionally, he& #39;s a mean billiards player.

FUSING DURING ALARMS IS SO BROKEN

LOOK AT THIS SHIT

78,000 yen? Only the best for my favorite piece of ass.

We’ve spent 100,000 yen on gifts for points we don’t even need toward Akechi’s confidant.

MORGANA WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING

HE SUCKED ME OFF LAST NIGHT AND HE KNOWS IT

Mothman!

Yusuke, you were my first love for a reason.

I hope whoever came up with this made bank.

I LOVE THIS TROPE SO FUCKING MUCH

@ ATLUS USA’S LOCALIZATION TEAM I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN IF THIS ISN’T 100% ACCURATE

Nah, this is actually really cute. I have a weakness for Goro’s more childlike side since it’s not something we see very often.

... And why do I?

SHUAKE IS CANON BYE

Linking with Akechi is honestly so strange. Certain story beats happen and it feels almost duplicitous to be hanging out with him.

This is from multiple rounds of shadow negotiation in one battle. This system is broken.

Not being able to link with Akechi for two months will be the death of me.

Kasumi’s confidant in a nutshell.

Okumura’s boss fight was an absolute bitch.

This is just painful.

I LOVE HOW NOBODY QUESTIONS THIS AT ALL

HERE IT IS BABY, THE SCENE THAT MADE EVERY SHUAKE SHIPPER WHO THEY ARE TODAY

IS THIS NEW???

Why is his ass like this

You’re not really playing Persona 5 until you’ve hung up Yusuke’s star stickers.

Akechi is the most difficult person to play darts with. How fitting.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

Akechi @ Akira

P5R AU in the style of P4G’s accomplice ending, except this time you don’t just destroy evidence, you actively join Shido’s campaign offensive and help Akechi carry out mental shutdowns.

No, but @xBlackRequiemx joked about this happening days ago. And now here we are.

An entire billiards match filled with tension and him essentially admitting to being the perpetrator of the mental shutdowns. Using the game as a metaphor for their current circumstances and talking about how there’s always collateral damage. Asking Akira to abandon his friends+

& work alongside him instead. Telling Akira to give his proposition careful consideration. Being surprised when he calls him later and Akira tells him that they’re rivals in response to asking about his competitive spirit.

I adore Goro Akechi. This is the confidant he deserved.

HE WHIPPED THAT FUCKING GLOVE AT US

My new headcanon is that Akechi doesn’t actually know how to play darts, he just knows “bullseyes are good” and learned how to land them consistently to impress people.

... I suddenly really don’t trust Maruki.

I really like how they’ve reworked the whole “twist” that Akechi’s the traitor. Now we know long beforehand that something’s going to go down with him and all of these background elements are starting to feel bigger than the original “take down Shido” plot that defined P5.

This feels like stronger writing overall. But we’ll see what happens.

Checking back in. Some of the writing still feels janky by not changing anything that goes down in the interrogation room, but I’ll let it slide since rank 8 was literally him challenging us to a duel and stating that he didn’t intend to lose.

Also, we’re in Shido’s palace and have the first letter of recommendation. Today is the day we save Goro Akechi from himself or so fucking help me.

Update: I got so angry I spoiled the rest of the game for myself. Currently beating the shit out of Shido.

This is one of the horniest lines in Persona.

Akechi asks for a dick pic and you send him this

HE’S ALIVE HE’S FUCKING ALIVE

The difference in the portraits is so subtle, but so damn good. He looks colder when he has nothing to hide.

The gang’s all back together.

I’ve waited three years to save you, you bastard.

Everybody’s wary of Akechi, but no one’s talking about how the first thing he did when he got back was take the fall for Akira.

They gave us Akechi as a navigator for approximately 20 minutes before snatching him away. The world is truly unjust.

Futaba just sounds annoying now by contrast. Akechi was a fucking riot.

What if I told you almost every persona on this list is utterly broken?

Akechi’s lack of kissing ass is refreshing.

Fellas is it gay to willingly abandon your teammates all so you can be together with the kid who shot you in the fucking face?

We beat Royal, by the way. Highlights were "I& #39;m a little occupied at the moment, so do your goddamn job!", the entire mess that was 2/2, and punching Maruki in the face. That confrontation was actually beautiful.
