"...And I believe you called forth your power like this...Persona..."

Man I love it when my local therapist is stronger than god

[apoluke]

If you never played the game you can rate it as a "good song", but when you know the context it immediately becomes an "outrageously fantastic song".

[vaxellimus]

As much as I love Lyn, they managed to make the guitar cry on this song, the raw emotion this instrument managed to let out is outstanding. Absolute masterpiece of a song.

Damn fam this game really went all out. They crafted the most compelling “villain” I’ve ever seen in a videogame. Shit got me emotional AF.

Man this is when regret and the feels hit you like a Truck. I honestly felt bad when I was fighting Maruki. Like, he's not a bad person, he's not a piece of shit like Shido (he's a great villain don't get me wrong), his desire was for humans to be happy and I felt so bad of ... Well, destroying it.
I can not express how much I liked his arc, always conflicted with this feels and "It's not right to manipulate reality" feels.

[DoktahBranflakes]

The guitar really sings in this song, it's as good as the lyrical version, in my opinion. had me smiling sadly throughout the whole fight

[unfog]

You know the boss is good when not even Myriad Truths can end the fight in three turns.

[JT-hkur]

Azathoth in Lovecraftian mythology is the one whose dream shapes our reality, when he awakens our reality as we know it will cease to exist.

I fucking love how hard this boss battle was. And no, not because of the in game difficulty, because you're hurthing someone who genuinely... just wants the best for everyone.

"So, Arsene and Adam Kadmon are similar types of Personas..."

RIP Billy Kametz You will be Missed Thank You Dr Maruki this song almost made me cry the first time i heard it now seems like it'll actually happen 🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙

[Sarah-smuz]

RIP Billy Kametz, the guitar in this song cries for you

[Hika]

Me: Ok, this game seems to have a lot of reference to the Bible and the Judeocristian lore, I'm sure Maruki will too. Look, this is the Eden, that is the tre-

Maruki: Hold my Necronomicon.

[AtlasValentine]

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
















And now to wait for Persona 6.

[kadenroo]

Not gonna lie I started to cry when I heard this song fighting maruki

[AlexGalaxy]

Imagine... reading lovecraft stories, played some of the "call of cthulhu" board games, played through bloodborne, and then hearing Maruki say "....AZATHOT"
I flipped!

[TheMarketableJackFrost]

I don’t cry for video game characters. But...


Damn you, Takuto Maruki. Not only did you make me want to more than anything... but you made me feel so many emotions at once. Frustration from your regeneration, but... more so just awe from your persona, and the sadness of having to fight a close friend.


Edit: May Billy Kametz Rest In Peace. Thank you for assisting in giving me one of the greatest story experiences I’ve had in any video game.

When this started playing, I started crying. P5R is such a good game and it means so much to me now. Is as worried that it would just a P5 reskin that had a few new characters and fixed old problems, but as a finished it, it made me realize how much it meant to me.
