i'm not as big as a yaldy stan as you, but those threads still managed to piss me off. came out of no where??? cmon now it's foreshadowed throughout the whole game and ties directly into the themes of the game. if a first time persona player managed to follow along just fine then surely you could too. oh and don't even get me started on the "hburr durr another jrpg god boss woo". and?? what of it?? i thought it was a great finish to an already good game. i know not every storyline needs a showy climactic final boss but.... yaldy felt natural? it didn't feel out of place at all? given the forces that the thieves were messing with, it's only natural that the Literal Representation Of Humanity's wishes/cognition/whatever would challenge them.
FOR REAL THO....i understand that someone’s reaction to the reveal is subjective, but you really CAN’T effectively argue it was out of nowhere - it’s hinted at throughout his time as igor and it’s pretty great that, in this game about never trusting authority, the magical guide turns on you. and YEA that god final boss one just gets me!! fr even throwing out everything i said to just look at it objectively and what happens in a literal sense - game bosses are about escalation and in p5, there’s a definite escalation in both power and authority. so really, who could be more powerful and have more authority than the next prime minister of the country? god. like. god actually is a natural progression in this case as a representation of authority figures and with how important mementos has been, with how it was set up that a giant reveal was definitely going to happen in its depths, how could anyone think shido was the final boss??? that would have left a major loose end as mementos has been seriously built up by morgana and the periodic visits throughout the plot. so they HAD to have a villain more powerful than the prime minister and so tbh god is a good choice, esp like you mentioned a god that was made by the public. all of these elements are present throughout p5, the set up is entirely there, yet people ignore ig bc they...don’t like yaldabaoth? they didn’t really notice these plot points? idk!!! but i’m glad you get it bc it’s two very weird, very easily argued criticisms that just can’t hold up if you pay attention to the game djfghdfg
