    And here it is... After over 200 hours in the playthrough, we finally have some answers and I was absolutely not prepared at all. YOU GUYS SET ME UP!! I'm genuinely in awe and still thinking about it! LIKE WHAT?! In all seriousness though, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you! These past streams of Palace 6 had over 1600 people watching live on Twitch. I've NEVER had that many people in there before for any variety game in the past 5 years... Truly so grateful for it all!! 😭This has been quite the journey and IDK if the endgame is soon, but what a truly crazy ride this has been... As long as you guys keep watching, we'll keep posting!! Just thank you so much!! We'll be live with Arc 7 either tonight or tomorrow! We'll see. :D PS: I'm more of a waffle guy, but pancakes? Anyone want some this week? ♥

    @skynet09122 ай бұрын

    In the original, i didn't hear the conversation about pancakes as i was making food, with the cutscene playing in the background. But one thing i noticed was a BIG clue that happens when the culprit killed Okumuras shadow. I noticed that the culprit was lefthanded, so on pure instinct, i started looking at every single character in the game, and noticed that only Akechi was lefthanded! Royal points this out during your pool game with Akechi early on, but the original had no mention of it being important, and the game never brings it up at all. So when it was time to decide who the culprit was, i guessed Akechi purely because of his lefthandedness... I brought this up in a forum, and others apparently also made the same observation, so when Royal ACTUALLY made it a clue, we kinda liked to think that it was posts like ours that made them add the pool scene to Royal, to both make the clue more obvious, while also giving a nod to those of us who figured out the truth this way, instead of the dev intended one with the pancakes comment.

    The best part about revealing that everyone was onto Akechi forever ago is that the way they found out, through Akechi reacting to pancakes and unknowingly showing his hand, is something that any player could also pick up on with what they know at the time, but NOBODY catches it because its such a throwaway dialogue.

    One of my favourite pancake reactions is from some of the va's from the game. Max (Ryuji's va), Robbie (Akechi's va), and Ray (subway announcer) played through the start of the game twice and both times, that scene was hilarious. The first time, Ray was like "Wait, that's it? That's the pancake line?" And Robbie basically went on about how it's the best line ever. The second time, they just sped the end of that scene to annoy chat.

    Exactly, and that's part of why this twist works so well. The game leaves breadcrumbs for you that are not only easy to miss, but are purposely contradicted by the ability to raise his Confidant as well as Morgana suggesting to try and befriend him. The game flat out tells you that Akechi is the real villain, and makes you feel stupid for not realizing it right away.

    They also don’t really react to it in the moment. Only Morgana and Joker really notice and they talk about it in a scene you don’t get to see immediately. It’s the fact that they’re so nonchalant about it and at that point you’d be used to the characters hearing Morgana that you don’t even question it. It’s a really good twist.

    @2:06:50 I noticed it immediately, but also didn't because I gaslit myself. I didn't double check the script log or anything, which would've cued me in. I was like "Weird, I thought only Morgana said pancakes but I guess Ryuji or Ann must've repeated it" and moved on, oblivious to the fact that I'd noticed a key detail. But for me, I was always suspicious of just how much he looks like Light Yagami from Death Note, and Joker even resembles L. Then the game gives me a party member with 2 Instant Kill spells... the only ally rocking multiple elements, Light and Dark at that, and I was like "Okay yeah it's 100% this guy."

    To be fair, the bad ending makes no sense at all when you consider the fact that we've been telling Sae the truth of everything that happened up until this point so how would she not already know that our friends are involved? Obviously selling out your friends = bad but when you really think about it it wouldn't really make a difference.

    TBF JC, iirc you did pick up on Akechi mentioning pancakes in that scene, you said something like "he's already been to the metaverse, he knows", you just completely forgot about that by the time when he joins the team. So you didn't realise that the stuff he told them during the festival wasn't lining up with that previous scene. The game is purposefully long enough so that even if you pick up on the pancake detail at the time you're unlikely to remember it when it counts. It makes the characters also seem all the smarter.

    2:06:33 What they did is pretty clever. Between Morgana's line and Akechi's entrance, they actually had a few lines of dialogue between the other characters to space it out a bit so that you had your mind on the conversation they were having rather than who mentioned pancakes. Not a foolproof method, but clever enough to trick quite a few more observant people like you.

    I would say this was a surprise but I played Persona 4 before I played this so I had my guard up around Akechi for the whole game. Not to mention there were a few red flags. Early on he actually accidentally heard Morgana and I picked up on that. Second he actually used a silenced pistol just like when we saw the black figure take out Haru's father with a silenced pistol. Plus he was menacing at times. Makoto and Futaba were the mvp's of that whole operation. Futaba best girl. Fight me. Makoto is a close second though

    Gambling is strictly prohibited in Japan, that's why you wont see casinos like Sae's Palace anywhere in that country. Little bit of info to let those who know the law know that something isn't normal seeing a casino for the opening. That doesn't mean that there are no gambling places in Japan, they just are clever with how they do it. Pachinko parlors, a prominent gambling house in Japan, circumvent these laws by making you buy small metal balls that you use on their machines for a chance to get more balls. In order to get returns for your run though, the number of balls you have can be used to buy coresponding prices which are mostly various nicknacks or other useless items. What you do to get money from those prizes is to go to the nearby pawnshop, usually controlled by the Panchinko Parlor as well, and exchange those prizes for actual money. As you aren't gambling with or for getting more money, it circumvents the anti gambling law that they have.

    In the stream you seem to have been confused of what took place, so this is the chronological order. 1. Sae interrogated Joker in the real world. 2. Sae took the phone, and met with Akechi in the hall on her way out. She showed the phone, and both enter the metaverse. (Futaba remotely activated the nav app on the phone) REMEMBER THIS HALLWAY. Remember, you leave the metaverse when you go back to the place you entered from. This was explained during Kamoshida arc. Remember they threw out Ann the first time she followed them into the Palace by taking her back to the back alley? 3. Akechi walked to the interrogation room and assassinated the guard and Joker, in the metaverse. They existed there BECAUSE Sae was there just moments ago. They are her cognition. 4. Akechi starts walking back to the hallway. Akechi is returned to the real world because HE PASSES THE HALLWAY he entered from. 5. Futaba, as Alibaba, instructs Sae to go back to the interrogation room (using a prerecorded voice stored on Joker's phone). She passes the hallway where she entered metaverse on the way, and is RETURNED to the real world. This is why the guard and Joker she sees is real. It's actually not at all complicated if you understand the order of events.

    I really enjoy how they did this entire arc. They hatched a scheme, but didn't count on the truth serum messing with your memory. The entire game up until this point has been you retelling/remembering the past events, waiting for it to wear off so you remember what you have to do here. If you failed any of the previous deadlines, Sae would comment on your memory being unreliable because obviously you 'did' win in time because it has already happened, and heads off. Too soon for your memory to come back and you get killed for reals by Akechi then. The only way is to remember/play the story as it's meant to be, so you can give the phone and enter the metaverse to prevent your death. Such an interesting plot

    Our boy, JC getting a heart attack every other scene change is kinda funny. Mostly cause its very relatable around this point of the game. And things will just keep getting crazier. I look forward to it. Also, regarding Akechi: People like plenty of awful characters, ethically speaking. For goodness sake, people are fans of Walter Sullivan from Silent Hill 4, so there's no surprises there.

    Honestly, I believe that the gameplay itself kinda leans into the storytelling with Sae's boss fight. Yes you absolutely got lucky with her hitting Almighty and that gave you a near free pass, but it's a little more than that. Each of the palace rulers had something that made them ultra powerful, at least in universe. Kamoshida had the students under his thumb, Okumura had his legions of workers ect... each saw PEOPLE as something other than people. Sae never had her cognition be so far gone that she saw others as anything but themselves. The only thing that changed was her transformation into a heartless monster. Though, small detail on your talk of Sae. It's not that the Theives weren't successful. They never had any intent on taking her desires. They still needed her Palace in place, as the interrogation room was just within its influence. It's a bit of subtext so I hope you don't mind...

Sadly I only managed to catch one live but that’s ok. (It was the boss fight one, also yes I downloaded twitch just for you because your reactions and commentary are amazing) Also I know I said the Futaba arc was my favourite but, this one is also like really close because of everything that happens, especially because this game being replayed is so much different. Like in this arc it’s revealed about how Sae is all about winning and you can see that in her character throughout the game, I love it.
