It feels like a kid's take on existentialism.Would Adachi faired better were he to become Albert Camus' hero and embraced the uncaring universe?
>>730778835It’s a typical JRPG where the protagonists are literal children that think and act like children.
>>730778835Never played a single second of these boring-ass non-games, seems like I made the right choice, what a retarded comment, hating your fucking life is not the same as wanting to eat a bullet you stupid cunt, there's quite a lot in between those two perspectives.
>>730778835its a JRPG, of course it sounds like it was written by children
>>730778998Spotted the poster with no theory of mind.
'kiko intellect mogged all the dishonest losers above me ^^if living IS too painful for you, then you want to die. if you don't want to die, then living IS NOT too painful for you and you're just being a histrionic bitch.
>>730778835The Scooby Gang was entirely fed up at this point. They corner a serial killer just to find out that his problems are fairly mundane and are mostly self inflicted. Then he launches into a tirade that would require a stretch to even apply to his current circumstances, effectively making it just an annoying tantrum. "Just go do fucking a flip instead of killing random strangers" is an appropriate response.
they are kids
>>730779229I don't care for your social studies terminology, this dumbass character is saying something idiotic, equating a person finding life painful with the idea that they want to die, it's like saying "Oh, you find that broken arm painful, but you refuse to cut it off", it's such a retarded false dichotomy.
>>730778835If adachi killed an arab he'd be based
2026 and we're still doing stupid fucking threads like this. Can't wait to see the Mitsuo thread tomorrow
Persona is only deep to people who have only heard of the name nietzsche
>>730778835>jrpg writing is shitnothing new here
>>730778835It's not too complicated. Adachi is clearly unhappy with his life, but the self-preservation instinct is still strong and difficult to get over. Like a serial killer may privately feel some remorse to a certain extent, but their desire to not be caught is stronger.
>>730778835Most people are on that level anon. Adachi yearning for life even if it hurts him is no different from a drug addict further fucking his livelihood by smoking more crack.
>>730778835She is right btw. Nihilistic faggots are so annoying.
Japanese writing is:>Kill God>Nihilism bad
>>730778835people like to pretend the SMT games are better written than they actually are for some reason, maybe in an attempt to justify their hours spent on the fusion autism (which is, admittedly, very fun)
Nihilism is le bad because it just inverts moral values and is for faggot ass cuckolds like Adachi. Nietzsche talks about this.
>>730778835she's saying he needs to kill himself or shut the fuck upthe fact that zoomers are so illiterate that they can't understand that and have to make 100 threads about it every day is really funny to me
>>730783076Nietzsche didn't practice what he preached, so anything he said is completely worthless.
>>730783405There is nothing to practice when it comes to psychology. Either you're aware or you're not, and he was.
>>730778835p4's problem is that the killer is a bit of a whiny bitch and the gang are a bunch of spoiled do gooders that adachi wishes he was a part of at their age he feels like he wasted his life doing what he was supposed to do and got 'punished' for it , while the gang is true to themselves and get rewarded for it he's seething and throwing a tantrum, but they're also childishly refusing to even attempt to understand what would drive him to this point iirc only chie comes around to his way of thinking in golden, she rejects it but also is well aware that any one of them could've ended up like adachi if not for having each other
>>730779238It's true. If someone is depressed, they wouldn't care if they lived or died. There's a reason why the ability to kill yourself isn't more readily available: Lots of people would just opt out. The definitive proof that the modern world is a hellscape is they don't give you an option to quit. All you can really do is not contribute, which is how I quit. What's the difference between a person who died and a person who doesn't do anything? Nothing. Much like how there's meant to be stupid people on this board, but I haven't met them.
>>730783569Check your (You)s anon
>>730783673What (you)s? I don't have any. I have one other thread and not only are there no (you)s but there's no new posts for 20 minutes. Nice guessing, buddy.
>>730778835Yukiko was supposed to be the killer. The change in narrative later in development is why the third act shits itself so hard. Adachi being an asshole made sense, but him being the killer didn't. The game doesn't hint at it and you only assume it's him out of process of elimination.
>>730783784isn't the only reason why yukiko isn't a suspect when she was in the same places at the same time as adachi during the murders only because she's their friend?honestly i think a yukiko killer ending, even if it was a meme one, would've been pretty funnot enough games take advantage of having a party member actually be the main antagonist that was playing the heroes the entire time maybe they could even have her regret having done it but was in too deep to stop or turn herself inor just have her 'weird' moments be her actual personality slipping through and the persona she used around everyone else was her actually acting ooc
>>730783784Fuck off. The only real information we have about actual considerations for the serial killer say they wanted Dojima to be the killer (it would make sense - a cop broken by the haunting visage of his wife that was killed by some speeding fucker) but they thought this would make the tone of the game, especially the one ending, way too bittersweet. So, they rewrote Adachi to be a Grimdark Purveyor. Which honestly worked better than it should have in all honesty.
>>730783967yukiko fits the killer better than dojima even if she was scrapped early onhell, i'd argue that dojima was chosen after yukiko was discarded and then it got shifted to adachi but a decent chunk of the game was still written around yukiko being the original culprit until the last third
>>730784068The whole joke about Yukiko being the killer stems from her in-game silly scenes, not any actual wrongdoing or motives beyond feeling trapped as Inn heir.
>>730778835Camus would agree with Yukiko desu
>>730784256didn't the old artbook or whatever it was say that yukiko was the killer at some point in development? i thought that's where it came from and her silly scenes was the game poking fun at that
>>730783784You know, the OP argument could even be interpreted as a motive for being the killer and it's certainly got Japanese energy.>You people don't appreciate the gift of life? Death for u, u die now, let me help.
>>730779530This wasn't him laying his heart bear and making himself vulnerable to strangers only to be met with ridicule. This is a man justifying killing and ruining peoples lives because he was fucking BORED. Yukiko telling him that his plight is nonsensical is 100% true. If your life sucks so fucking much how about you deal with it instead of dragging everyone down with you.Really wish dumb fucks stopped feeling the need to comment on shit they know nothing about.
>>730778835The Investigation Team was not the most philosophically equipped to handle Adachi's woes, but Adachi used his new superpowers to murder random people for fun instead of righting any perceived wrongs against him, so they understandably thought he was an asshole and full of shit.
