I'm genuinely in awe and still thinking about it! LIKE WHAT?! In all seriousness though, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you! These past streams of Palace 6 had over 1600 people watching live on Twitch. I've NEVER had that many people in there before for any variety game in the past 5 years... Truly so grateful for it all!! 😭This has been quite the journey and IDK if the endgame is soon, but what a truly crazy ride this has been... As long as you guys keep watching, we'll keep posting!! Just thank you so much!! We'll be live with Arc 7 either tonight or tomorrow! We'll see. :D PS: I'm more of a waffle guy, but pancakes? Anyone want some this week? ♥

The best part about revealing that everyone was onto Akechi forever ago is that the way they found out, through Akechi reacting to pancakes and unknowingly showing his hand, is something that any player could also pick up on with what they know at the time, but NOBODY catches it because its such a throwaway dialogue.
@lisahenry203 ай бұрын
One of my favourite pancake reactions is from some of the va's from the game. Max (Ryuji's va), Robbie (Akechi's va), and Ray (subway announcer) played through the start of the game twice and both times, that scene was hilarious. The first time, Ray was like "Wait, that's it? That's the pancake line?" And Robbie basically went on about how it's the best line ever. The second time, they just sped the end of that scene to annoy chat.

Exactly, and that's part of why this twist works so well. The game leaves breadcrumbs for you that are not only easy to miss, but are purposely contradicted by the ability to raise his Confidant as well as Morgana suggesting to try and befriend him. The game flat out tells you that Akechi is the real villain, and makes you feel stupid for not realizing it right away.

They also don’t really react to it in the moment. Only Morgana and Joker really notice and they talk about it in a scene you don’t get to see immediately. It’s the fact that they’re so nonchalant about it and at that point you’d be used to the characters hearing Morgana that you don’t even question it. It’s a really good twist.

@skynet09123 ай бұрын
In the original, i didn't hear the conversation about pancakes as i was making food, with the cutscene playing in the background. But one thing i noticed was a BIG clue that happens when the culprit killed Okumuras shadow. I noticed that the culprit was lefthanded, so on pure instinct, i started looking at every single character in the game, and noticed that only Akechi was lefthanded! Royal points this out during your pool game with Akechi early on, but the original had no mention of it being important, and the game never brings it up at all. So when it was time to decide who the culprit was, i guessed Akechi purely because of his lefthandedness... I brought this up in a forum, and others apparently also made the same observation, so when Royal ACTUALLY made it a clue, we kinda liked to think that it was posts like ours that made them add the pool scene to Royal, to both make the clue more obvious, while also giving a nod to those of us who figured out the truth this way, instead of the dev intended one with the pancakes comment.

TBF JC, iirc you did pick up on Akechi mentioning pancakes in that scene, you said something like "he's already been to the metaverse, he knows", you just completely forgot about that by the time when he joins the team. So you didn't realise that the stuff he told them during the festival wasn't lining up with that previous scene. The game is purposefully long enough so that even if you pick up on the pancake detail at the time you're unlikely to remember it when it counts. It makes the characters also seem all the smarter.
@ByronAndOnAndOn7 күн бұрын
I caught the pancakes my first time, but I had been spoiled that Akechi was important (I think I knew that you needed him max rank to get to Royal). That made me wary of everything he did and said.

Gambling is strictly prohibited in Japan, that's why you wont see casinos like Sae's Palace anywhere in that country. Little bit of info to let those who know the law know that something isn't normal seeing a casino for the opening. That doesn't mean that there are no gambling places in Japan, they just are clever with how they do it. Pachinko parlors, a prominent gambling house in Japan, circumvent these laws by making you buy small metal balls that you use on their machines for a chance to get more balls. In order to get returns for your run though, the number of balls you have can be used to buy coresponding prices which are mostly various nicknacks or other useless items. What you do to get money from those prizes is to go to the nearby pawnshop, usually controlled by the Panchinko Parlor as well, and exchange those prizes for actual money. As you aren't gambling with or for getting more money, it circumvents the anti gambling law that they have.

I really enjoy how they did this entire arc. They hatched a scheme, but didn't count on the truth serum messing with your memory. The entire game up until this point has been you retelling/remembering the past events, waiting for it to wear off so you remember what you have to do here. If you failed any of the previous deadlines, Sae would comment on your memory being unreliable because obviously you 'did' win in time because it has already happened, and heads off. Too soon for your memory to come back and you get killed for reals by Akechi then. The only way is to remember/play the story as it's meant to be, so you can give the phone and enter the metaverse to prevent your death. Such an interesting plot
@aohige3 ай бұрын
In the stream you seem to have been confused of what took place, so this is the chronological order. 1. Sae interrogated Joker in the real world. 2. Sae took the phone, and met with Akechi in the hall on her way out. She showed the phone, and both enter the metaverse. (Futaba remotely activated the nav app on the phone) REMEMBER THIS HALLWAY. Remember, you leave the metaverse when you go back to the place you entered from. This was explained during Kamoshida arc. Remember they threw out Ann the first time she followed them into the Palace by taking her back to the back alley? 3. Akechi walked to the interrogation room and assassinated the guard and Joker, in the metaverse. They existed there BECAUSE Sae was there just moments ago. They are her cognition. 4. Akechi starts walking back to the hallway. Akechi is returned to the real world because HE PASSES THE HALLWAY he entered from. 5. Futaba, as Alibaba, instructs Sae to go back to the interrogation room (using a prerecorded voice stored on Joker's phone). She passes the hallway where she entered metaverse on the way, and is RETURNED to the real world. This is why the guard and Joker she sees is real. It's actually not at all complicated if you understand the order of events.

Honestly, I believe that the gameplay itself kinda leans into the storytelling with Sae's boss fight. Yes you absolutely got lucky with her hitting Almighty and that gave you a near free pass, but it's a little more than that. Each of the palace rulers had something that made them ultra powerful, at least in universe. Kamoshida had the students under his thumb, Okumura had his legions of workers ect... each saw PEOPLE as something other than people. Sae never had her cognition be so far gone that she saw others as anything but themselves. The only thing that changed was her transformation into a heartless monster. Though, small detail on your talk of Sae. It's not that the Theives weren't successful. They never had any intent on taking her desires. They still needed her Palace in place, as the interrogation room was just within its influence. It's a bit of subtext so I hope you don't mind...

1:23:37 The first thing I checked after finishing my first playthrough was to check if Maruki is actually there in April and he is there in the first cutscene

When I first played through the original persona 5, I was super sus of Akechi for a very long time, up until he actively joined us and for some reason I let my guard down. The massive plot twist and the extent they took it to, plus the aftermath absolutely BLEW ME AWAY
@EliteEpicGamerz3 ай бұрын
I love how the entire game is literally screaming at JC that Akechi is the rival and super sus and he just says it doesnt make sense because he cannot fathom the idea that Akechi might just be lying

Bro I genuinely can't wait for your reaction to the rest of the game genuinely looking forward to it so much your gonna have a rollercoaster of emotions trust me

The best way to hide your crime, is looking for the suspect, you're one of the first ones getting the clues, and can go back to the scene of the crime without looking suspicious Well, that works better if you work on the field...

Been loving the P5 playthrough JC! I gotta say, even if you uploaded variety stuff on this channel, I'd definitely still watch. Hard to find long playthroughs like this anymore, and they're totally my jam!

2:06:48 don't worry, no one EVER catches that on their first play through. It's really a masterful execution
@PhantomEnderium3 ай бұрын
people do catch it but you have to be paying attention, considering there's a lot of dialogue after the pancake line before akechi rolls up

First upload of your Persona play through I've actually experienced as a new fan! Since I've fallen back into a Persona binge myself too it's really fun to see someone engage with one of my favorite games of all time completely blind! You've said previously that sometimes you feel the pressure to go live to finish the game but I hope you at least are able to keep enjoying it!

I've been a Persona fan for years and it's fun seeing new people experience it for the first time but watching this it just hit me that when we have our duel against Akechi they played Blooming Villain😅(The Boss Theme) that definitely should've gave you a major hint💀 now that I see this again I'm stunned at the foreshadowing

That last stream started near the beginning of my shift at work, so I thought I missed it. Later that night I remembered and went to see if you were still playing. I happened to tune in right when you were running around in the back rooms, replaying the intro. It was amazing timing to see your amazing reaction to the climax of this arc.!

2:13:43 I don't think any theory can be more crazy than the one I heard from someone. They really suspected Yusuke as the traitor because there were a couple of scenes in the okumura arc where Yusuke is just absent, similar to the foggy memory scenes in the sae arc that akechi isn't in. They did also suspect half of the members at least once, and the justifications were reasonable, but it was so funny. It also makes me really want a game where the traitor/villain joins the team quite early on, rather than just being the last one added, although it would probably restrict merch and side game opportunities.

2:08:50 At this point the writers just gave up on ''Show don't tell'' (It was incredibly edited down in the video but that scene was all exposition in the least natural way possible.

I played P5 when it first came out and recently replayed P5 Royal(actually finished my first rerun after like 4-5 years today) and I happened to stumble upon your videos. Its so nice to see your reactions to everything and I have been binging them all! Absolutely love the videos and will def hop onto a stream one day

Gotta appreciate the chat for being so supportive on your playthrough and not blatantly spoiling the game, which might already have been the case before but still. Really hope to see more playthroughs for the other Persona games in the future, it's been super fun and hopefully you feel the same way.
