I.... admit it I Farmed The reaper on flu days please....forgive me

A customer ordered a medium soda , and i gave him a large.

[KZfaq apology video begins]

You are so lucky... Lucky to be surrounded by teammates who acknowledge you...

I admit When I had to do the exams in game I looked up a guide

I must confess something. I've done plenty of terrible deeds. I took a look at walkthroughs to get the best route, I followed instructions to defeat all the bosses... and I... I dated all the girls. I'm truly a despicable individual...

this game was powerful stuff.

akechi: “in the end...i couldn’t be special...” me: *CRYING*

I got this by searching up 'Sad Blooming Villain'

Haru: Should we leave him here? Morgana: Don't worry, everything will be fine! *Ten statements uttered before disaster*

I think I *REALLY* started to like Ann later on in the game when she was able to talk about Kamoshida with everyone. Sure, she earned my respect when Kamoshida was going to kill himself and she told him that Shiho was still alive and told him not to run away from it. That takes guts. Good on her.

These comments are half Memes and half Super depression- What a roller coaster this game was though.

I admit. I played this game because of Joker getting into Smash. Now it's one of my top 5 favorite games. Should have played it sooner and not have had Joker getting into Smash convince me to play it.

When you max out your student loans and have to come clean to your parents...

I have to admit something... i'm.... not really the FBI....

I must admit that the game was much more enjoyable than my life. The game made me felt like I have real friends aside, a school life that I had ever dreamt of but never achieved.

Your road has reached its end, Trickster... You defied a God, nearly condemning the world to a life of unending slavery all for their own safety, but with awakened glory, you WON. You stood up to the Monster who put you on this path, and crushed him with your boot like the snake he is, avenging yourself in spite of all the misery he thrust onto you. Masayoshi Shido, future prime minister, was unseated by your hand. You rose from the Jaws of Death itself, defying all odds, and waged war against the "Justice" Arcana, and its user, Goro Akechi. A deceitful, sad, and broken individual, his madness and Hunger led to countless lives being ended or ruined, and with the Trickster Loki by his side, he thought to fool you... Truly, in the end, he was deserving of pity, for perhaps he regretted the end... You faced a man, consumed by greed, who was willing to sell his own creation into a dark life of servitude and abject misery. His lust for gains eventually turned his creation against him, and his own greed was his undoing. His repentance was cut short by the Madman Goro, however. Perhaps he could have repented, given more time on Earth. You Stared down a criminal, consumed by Gluttony and Envy, one who sought to destroy your very existence because you offended his all too fragile ego, he hid himself behind an army of guards, cowered in his vault while you rampaged through his bank of sin, and fled into the device that would lead to his undoing. In the end, the mighty mob boss was laid low by his own dejection, and so he confessed. You painted a portrait of shame for a man, consumed with Vanity, who sapped his pupils of their own works to feed his own prosperity, he raged and roared against you, but his own pupil, your staunch friend, turned on him, finally opening his eyes to the monster that disguised itself as a father. In the end, when he lie broken and miserable on the ground, the sword of his pupil at his neck, he confessed. You, a humble boy, cast aside by society for a crime you did not commit, broke under the pressure of a man consumed by Lust and Arrogance, and through this burning rage and will of rebellion, you began to assemble a team of like-minded and rebellious youths to wage a desperate struggle against a man who saught your ruin. Surrounded by those who sneered at you, and in peril from those who saught your demise, you set forth on a path to change all of Japan's hearts. Yaldaboth Masayoshi Shido Goro Akechi President Okumura Kaneshiro Madarame Kamoshida All these people, these tyrants, saught your demise... But in true Trickster fashion, you changed the future of the World, and now you can walk unharried through life, with your friends and lover beside you, infinite power waiting below the surface, to combat the next villain who dares rise.

I had to put my dog of almost 15 years to sleep today, and this song is all I could hear in the back of my mind. I still can't fully comprehend that he's gone, and that I'll never see him again.

0:00 When you forget to restock on toilet paper

"It's true i turned my back on reality. BUT WHERE'S THE HARM IN THAT?!" When it grows too much...when it too be painful....every person deserves to escape that!"

The moment of realization I had when I heard the notes from the guitar part of Blooming Villain play in piano here... 10/10

"Ichinose, you told me to become a good companion for humanity. A good companion is one who takes your hand and leads you back to the right path when you fall astray. Someone who will forge a path alongside you if you cannot find your own. Ichinose, I want to be that kind of companion for you, too! So please join me in finding the right path -- and if we can't, then let me help you forge one! You have no reason to be lonely... After all, you're my... You're my very first friend!"

I love how you can hear the Keeper of Lust in this song but all mellowed out.

Persona 5 has got to be the most well written and best persona game. Characters we’ve never seen before and the most emotional scenes. The game puts you on a feel train and it’s amazing. And how heartbreaking it is that even on the true ending you’re crimes are still unforgivable.

Even though their crimes were unforgiven, but still.. it can't be help but to feel sad for them. I wonder how would it be to live with that.. unbearable feeling of guilt, kinda sad, but wouldn't it stop people from committing them in the first place? what poor creatures we are.. we hate easily, jealousy and greedy.. committing sins is only part of our nature

I feel sorry for the newcomers who have simply searched "sad Kamoshida theme" or something like that and now have the whole game spoiled because they looked at the comments section. F

Always loved this when the villains lost and confessed to their insecurities.

Major Royal spoilers below I wrote a confession for the final boss because we never got one "Hey there, Shujin Academy students. It's a beautiful day out, isn't it? It must be a real shame to be cooped up inside. Some of you may be wondering what I'm doing back here, since my time at Shujin ended several months ago. No, haha, I can't give you any financial advice now...or any advice at all, as I'm not worthy to do so. I will not be returning, and I ask that you disregard everything I have told you during counseling sessions with me. I was not in my right mind, and I acted in a manner unbefitting of a counselor. I sought out particular students for...preferential treatment. I would bribe them and gain their trust with gifts of food. I ingratiated myself into their personal lives- treating them as friends and confidants rather than professional clients as I should have- and used the information I'd gathered from our sessions to...to manipulate them into doing what I believed was best for them. I encouraged them to do things that any competent therapist would have immediately seen as unhealthy. I even followed them to school and...and to their homes, to keep tabs on them. I also utilized one particular student's brilliant mind for the sake of my career. I became far closer with him than I should have, and abused my authority to do so, hoping he would help me with my research- I even blackmailed him using confidential information so he would keep helping me. In doing so, I have ignored his own traumatic experiences. My actions toward him may take years more of therapy for him to recover from, but with any luck, he will find a better therapist than me to help him. I wasn't doing what a counselor should do. I wasn't helping you grow and overcome your trauma, but instead making you satisfied with never striving for a better self, a better world. I believed that because I couldn't move on from my own issues, no one else could either- I was so blinded by my own sorrow that I couldn't see the error of my ways, and that you are all so much stronger than this pathetic man you see before you. I have failed the students I was meant to help, and led you all astray! Please, please forgive me!"

RIP Etika... someday you'll finish Persona 5 up there...

"I'll go back now, where I belong. But this time, I'm gonna be..." "...Haha. You know, I really am stupid. How did I let myself forget...? I know now...what it is I really wanted." "Haru-chan...You've grown so much. Your father must be so happy in heaven." "But it's okay now. I can tell you want to be the dad I used to know. I'm really sorry, Dad. And...thanks." "Phantom Thieves... If it's possible, I only ask that you please prove to the world...That I was defeated by the real heroes of this story...Ones with a true sense of justice...Thank you..." *"Sophia...Huh? Why are...tears...? That's so weird...This hasn't happened before."*

Kamoshida: I have repeatedly done things that were...unbecoming of a teacher.... Verbally abusing students..... physically abusing my team, and.... sexually harassing female students.

I must confess. The amazing high school life I could never had in real life, was in the game. I aced all the tests, maxed all stats, made friends, & was the ultimate chad. The sad thing is I was a unpopular introverted loser in High school. I’m still introverted. I want to make friends but it’s scary.

I...admit it... I...searched up...the PIN codes for Kaneshiro's palace... Please...forgive me...

"It's true that I turned my back on the original reality... But where's the harm in that ?! When it grows to be too much, too painful... Every person deserves to escape that !"

Regarding the composition, I love the little glitchy destruction sounds in the background. They fit well with the palace owner's "world of desires" slowly crumbling apart.

*Shadow Ajit Pai* : NOO...NOOO"...MY INTERNET... WHY?" *Main character*- - it was never yours. - this is over *Shadow Ajit Pai* : "No..I only wanted to help and do what's best" *Main character* : -shut up. - that's a lie and you know it. *Shadow Ajit Pai* : "...you're.. You're right. I let my own greed cloud my judgment.. I'm sorry....for all of this.... I'm calling off the vote..I'll return to my true self and make this right"

if post nut clarity had a theme

Play this in the background of every news story of a scandal. Fits everytime

*3/5, 2009.* I... i admit. I am the most scared out of my friends... When... when they said i was gonna raid a tower full of Shadows, the only thing i could do... was hide how scared i was. I was alone all of my years... going from foster home, to foster home, making new families and stuff.... Hell, i may even have lost my true names, and i forgot... i dunno. Every time i said "i don't care" to a person, was because i wasn't strong enough to find a solution to them... i was weak... and a lot stupid. And after all that happened, stop a train from killing everyone, saving Fuuka, facing my fears and my heart, facing the past of the wars that happened and meting Strega for the first time, meeting Shinjiro and Ken, seeing Junpei finally have a girlfriend, seeing Shinjiro die, and Chidori as well... only to know that in some months, we all are gonna die... made me reflect. About everyone, about everything. In 1/1, the thought of killing Ryoji appeared on my mind various times... but, i thought "What would happen to everyone?" All of my Social Links, all of my friends, and you guys, my family. All of them would probably not happen because of the Dark Hour bever existing... Then, i thought about facing Nyx, and do the impossible... Needless to say, that was the best decision of my life... All of you, all of my friends, they gave me an power... an power that surpasses everything. But it had a cost... and i say, "i don't care". Haha...... Thank you, Aigis, for listening to me. For listening... of my...... last...... words....... *And so, that was the last words of Makoto Yuki*

When you have two projects due today and they aren't even worked on.

Everyone listening to this song seems to bring up their favorite sad moments in the palaces, and I think it's pretty interesting, particularly because this song makes me think of a particular character and her moments in the game rather than a highlighted moment from a palace alone. Futaba Sakura. When I hear this song, I think of Futaba's struggle as she fights her false image of her Mom, how she needed someone to blame and chose herself because she was made to believe it made more sense, how she'd do anything to clarify what happened or at least get to say goodbye. The ending of her palace is what made this song seem to connect to her more in my eyes, she had her final words with her Mother, achieved that wish she wanted to have for so long, filling in the hole in her heart that the adults had put on her. I guess I'm not much different in linking this with a palace in some way too, huh? X3

"Don't Run You Bastard!!" "Shiho Still Alive even after the things that make her want to die, YOU have no right to run from THIS!!!" -Ann Takamaki

I tear up whenever i hear this song because this game quite literally changed my life. I had a friend who was the only person I knew who liked it and he was the nicest person. I knew him for a year and I don’t really know what happened to him. I hope he’s okay and I hope he’s happy. you’re amazing Isaiah.

The Phantom Theives must steal the heart of that one dislike

me: oh cool a 16+ minute loop. i won’t listen to all of it though i have stuff to do haha me, 16+ minutes later suddenly, sobbing while reading comments: well that was fast (thank you op! i love this extension)

"I'm glad you stood up to me. A sister who truly cared for me would never allow me to behave so monstrously. Thank you. You really came through for me."

*Nintendo servers are down on the day of the update* Why are we still here? Just to suffer!?

Violet: Please, stay back! I appreciate it, but allow me. I chose to stand on my own and fight. It’s time I stop being helpless. I hung my head low, and took your hand. But I knew, that deep down, pretending to be Kasumi was not the right way. *struggles to take off her mask* The weak, insecure Sumire dies today! Noir: Violet... Violet: You were the one... the only one who stayed true to yourself. Come, Cendrillon! If you don’t answer my call now... How else can we make our dream come true?

"You know, Joker, if you weren't there right when we needed you, everything would've been a whole lot more grim. I would've been stuck in that jail forever, Ryuji wouldn't have been able to keep up to help his mother, Ann would've still been sexually manipulated, Yusuke would be sucked dry of his last drops of life, Makoto might've become overtaken with envy like Sae, Futaba would've slunk past the point of no return, Haru would've been sold off, Goro would've become Shido 2, Sumire would've had her true self erased, and Yaldabaoth would've won." "..." "Thanks for everything, Joker."

All my friends abandoned me. But it's fine. I'll just find my own way. Being in Solitude makes me happy. I learned that having friends, just slows me down.

Kamoshida may have been an Olympian, but even he couldn't run from his crimes. Madarame tried to paint over truth with lies, but his imperfections washed it all away. Kaneshiro desperately wanted it all, but got only what he deserved. Futaba believed in lies of her past, but only by denying them could she achieve a new future. Okumura threw away so much to achieve his ascension, only to fall like his very own sacrifices. Sae found the need to cheat the system to win, not knowing she had the power to do so without. Shido wanted to steer his own 'immortal' vision, only to sink with the ship that followed it. Yaldabaoth used the people to achieve false godhood, and with the world's defiance was he brought back down. Maruki wished only to let others escape from reality, but realised no-one could do so without facing pain. Poetry.

This song holds the true feelings of regret that we all have some time in our lives all the pain and suffering from our past mistakes

Regret is one of those songs that I love no matter how many times I hear it in Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5 Strikers

Haru: (to Akechi) I have no intention of forgiving you for what you did to my father, but… I sympathize with you… I wholeheartedly understand wanting to get back at the adults who took from you.

Kamoshidas confession scene damn near made me cry

RIP Etika. This song was in my head finding out about his passing.

I love this theme, I always have, I don't care if it was the "sad" theme for the game, it's great either way!

I just love of this entire comment section is just a confession booth

i..i..i admit i default danced on my cousins in their sleep

This should be the theme that plays in a KZfaqr's apology video.

When you realize how ignorant you were of this franchise, and didn't give it the time of day because you thought it was "just some stupid high school dating sim". Then wish you had played the other ones.

**SPOILERS BELOW** Out of all the villains, I find Akechi the most understandable because he mirrors Joker in a way. He's the kind of person Joker *could've* become if he hadn't made his friends and confidants. In the beginning of Persona 5, literally no one was believing in him until he met Ryuji, Ann, and Morgana. Making connections with others saved him, which is made evident by how Akechi values his isolation. This is just a guess, but I think the reason Akechi isolates himself is because it's his source of hatred for Shido, and despite what anyone thinks, hate can be a kind of strength that can keep you alive in the most trying times. The reason that Akechi was so reluctant to accept Joker as a kindred spirit was because it would've meant losing that strength, and yet he wanted that friendship anyways. Think of how Zuko lost his firebending in AtLA after he joined Aang in Season 3; it's the same principle. It's one of the two reasons I've thought of why he tries to kill Joker. The other reason is that it's part of Akechi's plan, and why he's aiding Shido. It's not just because he's blindsiding Shido, but also because it's the ultimate revenge. He committed his crimes so that Shido could succeed, and then after his bastard father got everything he wanted, Akechi would then rip it all away and make sure Shido knew it. It explains why he'd aid and abet Shido instead of using his undeniable power to take the bastard down from the get-go. It's like how Richard Nixon did Watergate even though he could've won re-election anyways, wanting the perfect victory. And that encapsulates Akechi because he was working his whole life for it. But, revenge rarely leads to satisfaction- a wise man from Okinawa once said that revenge is like a forest. easy to get lost in. Akechi gets a lot of scorn for his actions in the game. His crimes are reprehensible, yes. but he didn't do those things because he was an outright evil person. The reasons are there, and they indicate that further interaction between him and Joker could lead to some real resolution. It's why I support the idea of redeeming him in Royal, because this, like it or not, is a character arc. The feelings and reasons are there, and they point towards a story yet untold. Persona 5 loves to throw around the word "unforgivable" a lot, but the thing is, you don't need forgiveness to redeem yourself, contrary to popular belief. You can bear the guilt of crime and still be a good person if you make yourself into one.

Thank you Sakurai, without you I would never know about the existence of the Persona Series, and now I just keep playing it like a broken disc lol

I feel EXTREMELY bad for Alice. Couldn't they just add something about her, just to let the players know she was alright?

Kamoshida: I have done things... Unbecoming, of a teacher. Madarame: I have done things... Unbecoming of an artist... Kaneshiro: I have done things... Unbecoming of a mob boss...

Heist failed: no money will be paid out, all assets have been locked and any valuables you held have been confiscated.

Lust, Vanity, Gluttony, Wrath, Despair, Greed, Envy, Pride, Sloth... I've overcome all of that and made the villains pay their price. Now... It's time to show you your place, Yaldabaoth, self-proclaimed God of Control. It does also play when the Phantom Thieves were struck down by the unavoidable usage of Rays of Control, right?

Madarame: I have done things that are unbecoming of an artist. Plainly put, I...uh...plagiarize work. I-I've t-tainted this country's art world and even "Sayuri!" HOW COULD I-I POSSIBLY APOLOGIZE TO...TO EVERYONE FOR...FOR WHAT I'VE DONE! (Sobs)

a year back, I was on this ost for a whole week contemplating about life.

society: you're nothing but... Akira: a criminal Ryuji: a delinquent Ann: a plaything Yusuke: a cash cow Makoto: a burden Futaba: a mistake Haru: a stepping stone Mona: a nobody

this always gives me chills.

I admit it. When I first played this game, I got the first question wrong. After that experience, I googled every single answer for the rest of the game

I gave up everything, EVERYTHING!

*"How Could I... Apologized To Everyone... For What I've Done! (Crys)"*

This music plays in my head whenever I overcook my food. 😢

Konoe, you wanted to be a hero for the people in needs, you didn't want for them to experience the same thing you had as a poor and innocent kid, but just not in the right way... I hope you will be free and happy soon, the jail is not your place, the same goes for the other monarchs... But you the most. You can even be a Phantom Thief, because you share the same ideals as them.

I just realised while playing P5S, that this theme contains the boss theme that sounds when you fight the ruler of the palace but slower and more calmly I guess it makes sense since it's the ruler who is suffering a change of heart and regretting his sins

1:10 this part always gets me. It's so beautiful. And sad, it's the part from Blooming Villain but in a different more remorseful tone, I actually prefer it here

I’ll admit it.. I didn’t play any of the other Persona and SMT games other than Persona 5.. I want to play the others but to no avail. I did.. what was unforgivable of a persona fan. To not but any of the games because I didn’t want to.. I’m truly sorry for my actions and will turn myself in to the SMT and Persona fandom.

"I don't know how long you live, but you're a perfect example of a pain in the ass old man!"

I just realized this music is blossoming villans slowed down and made sadder

This game taught me how to properly take care of my friends. Maybe two hands are enough to count them. But atleast now I know just how to take care of them. I'll be by their sides no matter what. If they're happy or sad. It pays no mind. We will enjoy every moment to its fullest now. Together.

Pit: Who is THAT? Palutena: I have no data on this fighter. Joker: 0:00

Etika please rest up there

*When you make it to College But you can't take anything with you From your childhood*

I must atone... I have only just realized that this is a sad piano version of Blooming Villain.

"It's always been like this...all those goddamn hyenas forcing their expectations on me...! I'm doing this all for them! What's wrong about demanding a reward for that!?" "No one cares for true art... All they want are easily recognizable brands...! I'm a victim in this too...! Wouldn't you agree!? The art world revolves around money after all... You can't rise up without any money... Yusuke, you understand, don't you!? Being a poor artist is truly miserable...! I just didn't want to return to that life!" "You're right...I'm a poor, ugly...idiot...how am I supposed to live a normal life like this...? It's all because of our society! Weak people can't lead a happy life, no matter what they do! I'm a victim too! Yeah, none of this is my fault!" "I'm glad that you decided to remember the true me" "In the end, i am just one more in a lineage of failures... Forgive me, haru" "You dont have to do this! Think about your justice!" "My... Justice?" "Yes... I... Acknoledge... I acusse you for false charges... I did to protect myself!" Every time this song sounds, i have to cry, i dont know why, but is one of the bests

Dude... the persona soundtrack can get you happy, quick, and sad. This makes me wanna cry but I don’t even know the entire story because I don’t have the game

“Futaba Sakura, remember!”

This song makes me feel like writing confession letter to the public even though I am just doing my homework

"Ex...Excellent... You have won... Now finish Count Bleck... Dispatch me and the Chaos Heart will disappear, and the prophecy will be undone..." "Timpani... When you vanished, I searched long for you. I never gave up looking... I searched and searched... But I never found you. Without you, the world held no meaning or joy... I wanted to destroy everything that had taken you away from me..." "It's too late. Count Bleck has done so much evil... It must end. Just knowing that you are still alive... And knowing that the world you live in will continue... It gives me peace. I do not have long to live. You must end my game before The Void destroys all..." Wait, what do you mean this is the wrong game?

This reminds me of the comic to where what if we encountered Goro Akechi in the Velvet Room, stewing in his self-hatred and regret

Me when I spoil myself on Persona 5: *I'm s o r r y*

This game's music is amazing

Takuto Maruki has committed the great sin of creating an overblown self-righteous reality granting people's wishes. However, we will not soak ourselves in this false happiness, and we will overcome our pain and move forward. As a result, we will not accept your proposed salvation. And therefore, we will steal your distorted desires and take back our future. -From, the Phantom Thieves

_"What am I supposed to do now?"_

I love how they use the melody of the heroic part on blooming villians... is like the same thing in our Phantom Thieves that took them so low in live its the same one that gaves them the resolution to stand against the bosses they fight (their biggest fears/regrets)

"Murderer. You killed her. It's all YOUR fault." "I'll kill myself right here, I must atone." "I just wanted to be able to afford the happiness our family couldn't, Haru."

"So this... is the inside of Sensei's heart?" "A vain museum such as this...?"

I can not let go of the past. But I still move forward. If it was that easy to let go of fear and lose the past then I would have. But I can't it is what made me who I am.
