This project was the final and most ambitious installment of a long-running series of critiques of the video games Persona 5 and Persona 5: The Royal.

My initial inspiration for this video came from reception I received on previous works in the series, where viewers expressed a mixture of curiosity and agitation regarding an exploration of the morality of some of the characters' actions.

A great deal of research had to be completed prior to the writing of the script, which in and of itself went well over 10 pages in its initial drafts. The finished product hopefully captures the main points I set out to convey, while also avoiding the overly verbose nature of most other video essay projects on the platform.

The video combines in-depth analysis with engaging visuals, precise editing, and voiceover narration to deliver a comprehensive critique of one of the most historically controversial characters of the series' history.
