Just think - you could be having sex with the woman of your dreams right now if you hadn't stopped him.
no because for the woman of my dreams, having sex with me would be something that makes her extremely unhappywhen wishes start conflicting with each other he cant do shit which is why only 14 year old redditors praise him
Sure, but at the same time he'd alter what you consider to be 'the woman of your dreams' to be something elseYou wouldn't be fucking some hot model, you'd be fucking some hamplanet. You'd love her sure but Maruki is just altering what people want for the sake of the world's overall happinessLike your dream could be to become some epic famous astronaut and Maruki would come in and make you forever happy to be some wage slave working at 7/11
>>736451102Make a clone of her.
My wish was for nobody to get their wish
It's path of least resistance.This actually happens in the game where a guy gets a girl that he has a crush on, whereas the girl doesn't think the guy as anything special, leading to a conversation where they "love" each other but the girl is distant and hesitant of what she is actually feeling. It's one of the key signs that Maruki's reality is bunk.
>woman is happier if you stop existing >maruki deletes you so she doesn't get the ick anymore thanks
>>736451102He solves this issue by just creating two of her, dumbass.
>>736451878These threads really just confirm to me that Persona "fans" don't actually play the game, exploring the world or actually paying attention to the loading screen conversations.>Guy is miserable at his job and wants to go on holiday constantly? Make him a wage slave ready to lick the boot.>Guy wants to be a painter but doesn't have the skills quite yet? Fuck it, make him do something else he is good at.>Two desires are contradictory? Fuck it, rewire the brains so that it is the way that I think will be the best for them to be content with life lmaoWishes and desires have nothing to do with it, that's the whole point of the evaluation section (That and to get a glimpse into Maruki's mind)
>>736450994I didn't stop him, where's the woman of my dreams?
>>736451878>Lots of npc dialogue where they can't quite believe the string of good fortune they're currently having.>The big eerie smiles on the crowd npc's>That overworld theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybhlFj3D_gwThird semester is kino but it ridiculous how many anons fail to recognize the huge cracks in Maruki's logic the game shoves in your face.
>>736450994Who says I stopped him?
>>736451878Nothing a bit more therapy won't fix.
I'm so bored of>escapism bad!Narratives in games. If you're playing a video game you're playing it to escape reality to some degree
>>736450994Okay but how he would manage the fact i wanted to be a cute girl though?
>>736451878Not to mention the couple whose kid gets snapped out of existence because they think they’ll be happier without the responsibility anymore. Lot of people conveniently miss that one.
>>736453264He’ll make it so that everyone you meet smiles at you and reaffirms, “You DEFINITELY pass, sister!”
>>736453095Escapism in of itself is not bad, but relying on escapism entirely is bad. You can use your coping mechanisms to readjust yourself, however, you have to face your problems eventually.
>>736453095Escapism is fine if you understand that it's temporary. In most mediums the moral is you shouldn't use it to replace your real life and live in a world of delusion.
>>736453278As if a great number of 4chan users wouldn't want to be thanos snapped right now.
>>736453095No, video games are just a fun thing to do. Kids for example love playing video games even if they have nothing to escape from. If you only play videogames to escape reality rather than for fun that's moreso on you
>>736450994was he the best persona "villain"?
>>736450994i ate the lotusi got the ending where you don't stop him, and for the sake of committing to my values and principles, i haven't loaded the game sincei'm kinda mad at the game cause i still haven't seen my waifu's valentine's event
