The next day we overhear students gossiping about the volleyball team, and apparently Kamoshida’s abuse is so obvious that everyone can see how banged up the team is. That’s a lot more than Ryuji’s claim that the abuse is only “rumors”. How are these guys winning matches while covered in bruises, anyway?

Persona 5: April 15th – April 18th (The Endless Prologue)
How has it been an in-game week and we’re still in the prologue?
Morgana doesn’t have a place to stay, so Damien agrees to let him stay at Leblanc. Why does he think Sojiro would allow that?
Persona 5: April 18th – April 20th (King Kamoshida’s Castle)
Persona 5: April 21th – May 5th (Downtime + Fallout)
I genuinely thought the resolution might happen immediately this time, but no, once again we have to wait until the deadline to advance the plot regardless of when we complete the objective. What is pacing?
During downtime we’re introduced to a new teacher. I know I said I didn’t want quirky, but he looks about as generic as possible.
Persona 5: Conclusion
I said I was done after the ridiculous padding of the calling card mechanic, and I meant it. I trudged through all of Persona 4 and I’m not making that mistake again. I’m told the story does not get better after this, so I don’t think I’m missing much.
I am genuinely astounded this game got published. I have never seen a script so incoherent and confusing since HEARTBEAT, and that was an indie project by fascist nutjobs, not a AAA release from one of the most popular series in modern gaming. There is no consistency to anything and the pacing is nonsensical when it’s not completely backwards.
