    LYRICS:
    The beliefs I had my faith in
    They never seem to
    See the light of the day
    Shadow is what my mind’ states in
    'cause people tend to be
    Sensitive to the new ways
    But it doesn't have to be like this
    Don't sleep through
    Dreams that can come true
    No more tears shall fall from your cheeks anymore
    You won't need to
    Strive for greatness
    Believe in me
    That you don't need to suffer from anything
    You don’t need to make that wrong turn
    All you need is guidance from above
    We don't need to have this conflict
    Cause I can take you to the place of delight and
    Bring peace
    To the whole world
    Don't sleep through
    Dreams that can come true
    No more tears shall fall from your cheeks anymore
    You won't need to
    Strive for greatness
    Believe in me
    That you don't need to suffer from anything
    You can throw your mask away
    No more pretending
    You've been tied down for the longest time
    Be free
    You deserve better
    You should forever be free
    Don't sleep through
    Dreams that can come true
    No more tears shall fall from your cheeks anymore
    You won't need to
    Strive for greatness
    Believe in me
    That you don't need to suffer from anything
    Don't let go of your dreams
    No more tears shall fall from your cheeks anymore
    You won't need to
    Strive for greatness
    Believe in me
    That you don't need to suffer from anything
    No more

      Hey Sapphire, I love your covers. I was wondering if you could give me some advice for mixing vocals... I do covers as well and use very little reverb and some delay, eq, compression, etc. However, they either sound too dry or too sharp. Is there anything you can tell me about editing vocals? I really just want them to sound full and not too crisp. I'd really appreciate it.

    I think it's super interesting that this song is written from the perspective of the villain, and it makes perfect sense to do it with Royal, since it's kind of the first time (that I know of) we've had a final boss whose motivations are understandable, and maybe more importantly, extremely human. Not a god who is "listening to the wishes of humanity", but a person who's been through trauma and pain, and wishes to make sure nobody else has to.

      Well the Murderer in P4 was also understandable and very human, he was a representation of what someone could become given they can’t handle the pressure put on them in life and they decide to lash out. There’s a reason people like him so much and it’s because people relate to the guy, despite how scary that might seem.
      That said, I agree, the villain was amazing and arguably one of my favorite characters in the series and probably my favorite thing to come out of Royal’s expansion.

      I agree and to add to this, I would argue that even those gods you mention like Nyx, Izanami, or even Nyarlathotep himself (yeah, i played persona 1 and 2, I beat up Hitler, got a problem with that?) have become more understandable due to the Phantom Thieves and presumably the rest of humanity rejecting Maruki's "perfect" new world. Humanity DOES wish for hardships and chaos. It DOES wish for death and destruction.
      But it also wishes for peace and life. Humanity cannot exist without both light and dark which is what Maruki and the gods failed to understand. The final bosses of the Persona games do in fact listen to the wishes of humanity, but they cannot grasp the fact that humanity's wishes contradict themselves.

      There’s something haunting about that picture. Normally, the Thieves bleed from rolling their masks, but she has a black substance coming from her eyes. I thin this could symbolize that it’s not Kasumi, but rather her torn twin sister, Sumire. Although this never happened in the game (at least I don’t think so), her smile gives off the “What’s wrong, are you scared of me? I’m still the Kasumi you know.” When in reality, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

      In P3, everything and everyone on this earthly plane dies. And you can’t let that happen, all the memories and accomplishments you shared will all be for naught.
      In P4, though the stakes aren’t as high, it felt more emotionally charged. You’re fighting with your friends who stuck with you thick and thin, desperately fighting against the lies that attempt to cover your efforts of finding the truth.
      In P5R, it’s the most emotionally charged and high stakes (not the highest, that goes to P3). Not only are you fighting with your friends, but against an enemy you thought was a friend, and is blind by believing he’s doing the right thing. And the thing is: you can agree with him wholeheartedly. It really brings your morals into question, is he right?
      I believe that P5R hold the most emotionally intense final battle (as of now, at least), and I can’t wait how Persona 6 will go after this.

    This song is very fitting for Maruki besides the fact that it plays in his boss fight. The theme of his Palace, the Laboratory of Sorrow, is sorrow (obviously). This goes much deeper than at first glance. The sorrows of Maruki's past, those being the loss of his lover Rumi and the shutdown of his research caused him to undergo his awakening to Azathoth, a very fitting Persona for Maruki. Azathoth is the antagonist of the Cthulhu Mythos, whose dream is that of reality itself, and can change it at his will, which is the power Maruki received when awakening it. By using this power, he creates a reality where the people no longer live with sorrow, and this even affects the Phantom Theives. Morgana's sorrow is that he could never be a human, so Maruki made him a human in his reality. Ryuji couldn't run on the track team due to his leg and the antics of Kamoshida, so Maruki allowed him to run on the team again. Ann's sorrow is that she would never be able to see Shiho ever again after she moved away, but Maruki brought the two back together. Yusuke would never be able to study the arts and succeed over Madarame, so Maruki changed it so he can. As for Futaba, Haru, and the Nijima sisters, they have a similar case: Maruki revived their deceased parents so they can live together again. Joker and Akechi share the sorrow that they would never be able to fulfill the promise to duel each other again someday. Sumire's sorrow is obvious. She sorrows over the loss of Kasumi, which then leads to the event where Maruki rewrites her cognition in a counseling session to have her believe she is Kasumi. That's why that she is the last one to break through the false reality. When trying to Reach out to the Truth (see what I did there), due to Cendrillon being destroyed in a battle prior, she can't call it. Only when Kasumi's spirit transforms to become a new Cendrillon can Sumire finally see the light, causing a rebirth in the Faith arcana as well as in herself, now even more determined than ever to take back the reality they once had.

      What’s funny is that apparently Sorrow is God’s gift to humanity. It’s for those who are at their lowest point, and those closest to them will have Sorrow and help them up.
      Maruki used it wrong, he decided to take control of everyone’s lives just because he felt Sorrow for everyone suffering lien he did.
      It’s kinda like using a kitchen knife. People use it to make cutting food easier and cleaner. But some people use it the wrong way, as in stab people with knives. That’s my analogy, at least.

      I want to add that since Akira is in permanent slumber, that’s means his body is breaking down muscle to nourish his body. Since his own body constant eats away at his muscles, he’ll grow weak. Soon his skin would break down, and he’d be dead. This is why I believe this would be the worst ending for Akira. In P3, at least Minato’s efforts were worth it. In this, Akira failed. And is doomed to an eternal slumber (unless Maruki prevents his body from breaking down).
      Moral of the Story: Don’t go to sleep hungry, you’ll lose your muscles.

    The more times I listen to this song, the more I find Maruki both tragic and incredibly creepy. I fully understand his desires, and it's incredible that we have a villain who is so truly altruistic and wanting to save everyone. But the reality, the mindset that seized him after Azathoth went berserk, is absolutely horrifying if you look at it beyond a surface level. Sure, there's no conflict and no sadness, but if everyone gets what they want as soon as they want it, then what is even the point of living? There can be no growth, no lessons learned, no innovations made. And can you truly appreciate the happy times without the sad times to put them in perspective? How can you know light without darkness, day without night, heat without chill?

    You know the ending of P5R saying everyone was splitting up and going to other parts of the world makes me think about how the original idea of P5 was to travel around the world. Doesn't that sort of scream that there is more to come or they will meet again someday (potential sequel to Royal theory)

      I think that royal is considered canon. The ending of royal makes it pretty evident they considered the consistency of the timeline. Scramble wont reference particular events from royal but it would make sense for the events of scramble to play out considering the ending of royal. We’ll probably see Kasumi pop up in the inevitable P5 fighting game which will hopefully end this debate over the canon of royal vs vanilla

      @@Valiantlion23 Well, it is kinda of implied that it is indeed a sequel to royal. Morgana references "a palace that came into the real world half a year ago", which sounds like marukis.
      Sumire at the end of Royal tells you she is going to be away for training, and akechi if he is alive is prob serving his time.
      Personally, I belive they left it ambigous so that either p5 or p5r can jump in....and also to sell kasumi and crow dlc ofc

    The feeling I got from Maruki as an endgame "threat" was something I haven't felt from any game I've played in years. In fact the last time I was actually forced into thought from an endgame antagonist was Nyx in persona 3. Persona 4 as a whole was impactful but did not have a villain like Nyx, Maruki or even Yaldabaoth. Nyx and especially Maruki really make you think about human nature and some really fundamental things about life, something you'd never expect from a video game. I right now still dont have a clear thought on why Maruki needed to be defeated, but I feel that it was right and these lyrics are chilling to me.

    • @asrafkhalid1231
      @asrafkhalid1231 4 года назад +3

      from what i gather from other comments n with my own understanding, maruki propose life without hardship or pain (based on the test done in his palace which i failed all of em 😥) n those that suffered, he provide salvation by removing the traumatic/painful memories (based on the confidant dialogues with joker) n thus rewriting reality/metaverse which at this point still merged (hence akechi, futaba's mom, makoto's dad n sudden memory lost or memory rewrite).
      as for the thieves', their bond over with each other n grow as a person thru the hardships n trial they experience. they feel that pain is necessary to improve/advance as a person n to connect with other people.
      its a lot to take in especially the confidant dialogues with the new girl (and with futaba).

      Maruki is a sympathetic villain. I see and understand his view but still wholehearted oppose it. And I think that's the point. His worldview is based on his own struggle just like joker. The difference is that when push came to shove maruki ran away while joker stood firm.
