Why didn't cognitive Joker and guard dissolve after being shot?

Why did Akechi bring heaps of policemen to capture joker in the metaverse when he just could have arrested him in reality, the story doesn't have to make that much sense, don't think about it too much.

You were in the other thread. Don't pretend.

Why is this game so fucking boring

Theres so many plotholes in P5 its not worth thinking about

Nah, I saw it in the other thread and wondered it myself.
That too.

just bought this game what am I in for?

godawful pacing

Catching them in the act with witnesses is larger grounds for an arrest that would stick then suspicion and circumstantial evidence (at best.)

This Play persona 3 or 4 instead. Sure they are more dated but they feel like they have more love in them. Like it was a small studio just doing the best with the limited budget they had and tried to make a compelling world, cast, and story. Persona 5 is bloated as fuck with a boring story and characters

great characters
great music
great combat
great character progression
sporadic but nonetheless annoying limitations on when and how you can spend your time in-game

Remember to save up lots of Yen and power through the Doctor lady's storyline until you get a discount on her SP Adhesive accessories, they are great

Persona 3 and 4 are dogshit compared to 5

persona 3 and 4 are even more boring.

Persona 5 is garbage, fuck off you neofag idiots

>handcrafted palaces that are unique experiences
>bad

>tartarus (260 floors, generated randomly), exactly the same setpieces all over again
>good

kys my man

4 is alright but 5 is better

seriously 5 is the best entry so far.

Uh, those were just Sae's cognition of those two individuals. Killing one's shadow in their OWN palace would affect their real life selves. This exact case happens (albeit with politicians) in the dungeon after the scene where Joker is shot.

do I need to play the previous games at all?

no

The megaten franchise used to be the third best selling rpg franchise in japan right after dragon quest and final fantasy before it broke out in the US, they had card games, figurines and all sorts of spin offs and merchandise since the 90s, these games were never the indie works of love the fanbase thinks they were, they just happened to have a lower budget compared to more mainstream releases because back in the ps2 days that would still happen and a game could still be a major release. There's a reason why persona 5 was the first major release on home consoles since the ps2 days and it's because gamer culture changed during the ps360 era and shifted thowards AAA releases and insane budgets, but that doesen't mean that it was always like this

OP is talking about their cognitive versions vanishing into black smoke, like when Ann kills her cognitive version in Kamoshida's palace.

I'm at the beginning of shino palace. please tell me I still can go out and do links on December I don't want to pass the last month doing palace and memento's shit non-stop with the fucking cat telling me I should go to bed.

>That one triggered user who keep making P5 thread to shit on it
>Every thread he get BTFO and thread turned to be civil and discussing P5

Because Akechi tought they were real people.

Answer: The story was rushed and not very good

I miss Persona 3

How could people be so fucking retarded is beyond me.
P5 is an objective improvement of P3 and P4 formula.
While you could argue about story and characters in those games (I still prefer P5 the most), all gameplay mechanics are utilized better in 5, demon fusion, encounters, dating sim and especially the hand crafted dungeons, with no more randomly generated bullshit, demon fusion and encounters.

people on Sup Forums exclusively care about stories in videogames, I haven't seen any gameplay discussion happen consistently in fuck, at least 4 years I think

Only thing I can think of is because Akechi thought both of them to be corpses? So thats how his cognition viewed them?
Beyond that no fucking clue .

Namely to catch them in the act, prove how they're doing the metaverse shit, and so they can't escape into the metaverse to avoid being arrested.

>Because Akechi tought they were real people.
>Only thing I can think of is because Akechi thought both of them to be corpses? So thats how his cognition viewed them?
How can people still not understand how the twist worked? It's Sae's palace, Akechi's cognition can't change anything there.
