    I... can’t quite get over this picture. Maruki looks like he’s fed up with the world and only cares about completing his work, and Kasumi just looks dead inside. It doesn’t quite seem right given their personalities, but then again, it also fits perfectly

    • @frisolaxod3835
      @frisolaxod3835 4 года назад +156

      It somewhat fits, Maruki's looking up towards the reality he created, fed up with the unfairness of this world.
      Sumi feels empty, trying to remember something that was taken out of her memory, looking at an object from the past and remembering the pain that she can't quite explain.

      The glasses are a mask, much like Jokers glasses, which are shown to be a symbol of his 'masked self' throughout the game. Maruki wears his mask, unable to see why he pursues this 'happy reality' so much, and refuses to aknowledge it's only for his own sake and not for others. Sumire takes her glasses off, removing the guise of 'Kasumi,' and accepting herself as Sumire.

    "And as he reached out to the construct that his own lies built, he realised he had lost both reality and himself. The castle fell, a crack here and a crack there but soon the cracks turned to quakes and the walls so sturdy began to shatter to sandy glass, that he realised what it all meant. He had time but it was wasted on what wasn't truly there, a castle built on sand from Father Time, longing to be used anywhere but here. Seemingly acknowledging this, he knelt further forward his head thumping against the floor as he tore his gaze from the illusion."

    All I can recall from lockdown 2 years ago is playing through this game for hours on end every day. And when I finally got to the end of the game and found out that Maruki had these intentions this entire time it blew my mind. Honestly, it was the first time in a game where I struggled with choosing between "right" and "wrong". His choice felt like the right one to me, he never seemed like a villain and I can see why he wanted to create the world he did. It's just not that straightforward sometimes. Hands down one of the best antagonists of all time. Never had any ill intentions from the start.

    I feel real lucky to have started getting into the Persona series with 5. Honestly the best game I've ever played hands down. I'm kinda fearful that 6 may not be as big as 5 has become but then again I said the same thing about future Smash Bros games, then they turned out to be bigger and better than the last.

If games like the CDI Zeldas are good bad games, then Persona 4 is a bad good game. It's definitely worth playing still.

    Gonna talk about some spoilers for 3rd semester and the whole game below:
    I found Maruki so interesting as a character because in many ways I really admired what he attempted to do. After all, he just is trying to help people be happier and talk them through their traumas, right? That in itself is still very admirable, as is the fact that he gives Joker the chance multiple times to talk his way out of the conflict, and only uses violence as a last resort, and even during the fight itself, is still trying to deescalate the conflict.
    Yaldabaoth’s method of dealing with the masses? Force them into submission, make them suffer to the point that rebellion doesn’t have a desire to exist in hardly anyone. Give them a false sense of happiness in that “it would be worse if I fought back, so at least I can just exist, until everything eventually ends…”
    It’s the mindset Joker tries to help all his friends break free from: that rebellion against the unfairness of life perhaps *can* make things better. According to several scriptural interpretations of “Satan”, aka Lucifer after he fell from heaven, this is what Yaldabaoth wants. I should note, I’m now distinguishing between the Satan and Lucifer and Satanael and God described in Persona, versus the interpretations in real world religion. Since the scriptural Satan couldn’t convince God to use his plan, and was cast out for his rebellion against God’s plan (God’s plan being that mankind would have the chance to choose between good and evil, using their own agency, aka, the same ideal Joker fights for), Satan instead now tries to drag as many people into misery like he now is. Yaldabaoth represents Satan’s ideaologies after he fell from heaven.
    Yet what makes Maruki interesting, is that Maruki doesn’t represent Satan’s idealogies, as much as he does Lucifer’s ideas. Lucifer, before he was cast out for rebellion, proposed a plan alternative to God’s. God’s plan was to let mankind use their agency to choose and grow. Lucifer’s plan was to try to *guarantee* happiness for everyone, by taking away their agency, or rather, make it so they can only use it “in the right ways”. His logic was that everyone would eventually return to God and live in happiness if this was how the world operated. And, in the 3rd semester, we get a glimpse into how that world would be. A world where a few bad things happen but, for the most part, everyone is happily living; yet, they also lack progression. The Phantom Thieves reject that reality not only because “it’s not real”, but because they value what they learned and experienced in the harsher but “real” reality. Maruki gives the world a chance to live in a Garden of Eden type state: where people don’t have to worry about choices, yet also cannot truly progress or find *true* happiness. They simply float about, unable to learn, and not even completely sure they are happy, because they lack no bad experiences to counter the good. When Joker talks to them, they feel like there should be more to their lives than they currently have, but they can’t put a finger on it until they’re reminded of “what the world should be”, and even after they “wake up” they choose to stay in the harder reality because it’s ultimately better for their long term growth and happiness.
    In the bad end, we can see a representation of how Lucifer’s plan would essentially change the entire souls and actions of people against their will, taking away the types of things they would normally say in order to perfectly fit them into “the right” mold. We see Joker speak oddly to Sojiro, we see Akechi suddenly chummy with everyone and acting almost like the old him doesn’t exist anymore… but he didn’t have to fight for it. It was forced on him through Joker deciding not to fight back.
    That bad ending shows the type of world that Lucifer desired: one of perfection where everyone could get their dreams… but all accomplishments become hollow because of the lack of opposition.
    This is why Maruki is so fascinating. He believes the same ideals of Lucifer, that if given the power, he would take away ALL suffering, to the point that any happiness remaining is hollow, and people lose their ability to truly grow and progress. Unlike how Lucifer became angry and threw a fit when his plan was rejected tho, Maruki retains a level of dignity and ability to accept others choices even after they come to fight him. In other words, Maruki represents what Lucifer could have been, if Lucifer had known when to give up his old plan. Joker represents the agency of man kind, or God’s original plan, and Joker stands against both Lucifer and Satan’s methods of opposing that plan of agency.
    What Joker truly stands up for, is free will and choice. And there are ways both overt and subtle in which agency can be lost, which are illustrated by the differences between Satan and Lucifer, or Yaldabaoth and Maruki, respectively.

      Exactly! What sets humans apart from animals is our moral choice and will. Our ability to feel emotions and understand them. By removing those, Maruki was taking away what makes us human. He couldn't see that a life lived under forced happiness isn't a life at all. A life without change and growth isn't what we are intended to have. What he would've created was a world where people were alive, but not living.

    When you undermine your entire journey to accept a perfect world that is not even able to be earned through merit or triumph, you reach the ideal world, but is such a thing as this Utopia even real? Is it something that people actually wanted? To remove pain and strife for unending happiness and falsifications? Or does it even matter, as once you accept it even for a second, you can’t deny it ever again. This wasn’t made by some evil mastermind and isn’t anything like The Matrix, rather it was made out of kindness by a man willing to be a martyr if that meant nobody had to suffer ever again; a good man who saw himself as Adam after loosing Eve...

      If you agree to his offers, at the end of the credits instead of saying “fin”, it says “end”. To me this shows that in Maruki’s reality, there can be no more conflict and no more evil presence threatening the Persona universe, this showing the end of the story for all future Persona users. The true ending says “fin” which to me means that this was the end of the story for the Phantom Thieves but not for Persona users as a whole

Since no one specifically wishes Erebus to be gone, just for Minato to be out, which under normal circumstances would be the end of Erebus or Nyx. But these arnt normal circumstances. Then again Maruki would probally do some tweaking to make it so that no one wishes for death or somethin.

    I just realized the glasses motif on the pic. P5 makes the point of glasses being a mask. Call it a persona in the jungian sense, or a way to look at the world differently.
    For example, Joker doesn't have a sight impairment. He wears glasses because he was self conscious about his eyes' expression which were "too fierce", or something along those lines. After his legal drama with Shido, he started wearing them to appear less aggressive and draw less attention. That's also why he takes them off in the ending; he accepts his true self.
    But I was going to talk about Sumire and Maruki in this case. Sumire has her glasses off, contemplating the dark and sour reality. She doesn't like it, her pain is there, but she's confronting it instead of hiding behind the sweet lies of the glasses. She still has the glasses on her hands, though. She may fall back or relapse, though. The temptation is there.
    Maruki's motion is harder to give an interpretation on. His glasses are halfway on, so maybe it means he's inbetween the harsh reality and his ideal world. Perhaps he's putting them on, representing his backstory that leads to him trying to warp reality into an idealized version. But by the position of the side piece, I think he's taking them off, signifying the end of his story, where he finally accepts the world as it is and tries to improve it without changing it.
