for those who beat the game

do you think Elizabeth will ever *save* makoto? or do you think they will never change his fate?

[guzcor]

Elizabeth one day will free Makoto's soul of the seal, but Makoto's body is dead and will never be brought to life.

[Chopsteak]

Here is hoping that one day Makoto will be saved in one way or another but truth be told i don't think Atlus will ever do more with him. Maybe will we get a spinoff game that has him but that will probably be it.

Truthfully I think it would have been great to have Makoto and Kotone fight alongside each other so that one could become the great seal while the other got to live on with the rest of SEES. As to which character gets which fate, let it be up to the player. At least in this scenario one could finally live instead of either not existing or being dead before the games events and the other dead at the end.

I think Makoto's fate will be left in limbo for a long time to come. Since P4A/U was successful, I expect that a hypothetical P5A would be the likely, investor-friendly way we see some kind of continuity update. ArcSys is a pretty booked developer, working on a title per year, so P5A may even already be in their project queue for all we know.

However, throughout the P5 Era, Atlus hasn't ... shown us their best work with the spinoff games, and they've been been fairly apathetic to matters of continuity, hanging threads, and canon. Right now, they're seeing if they can get in on the remake gold rush with P3R. They're seeing if all that demand in polls and surveys for a P3 Remake is pointing towards profit. The path of least resistance to more money is to have the P3R team start a Remake of the Original Persona 4.

So that's all what I realistically think will be going on before P6 hits, and it's anyone's guess what happens after that except the inevitable P6R with a new female cast member that the game will pretty much ship with the Protagonist, and that will drive some fans to having rage-prolapses and crafting effigies to burn during the full moon.

That's implying Atlus will ever actually continue an overarching plot with this series, or even acknowledge that it has one outside of a cheeky reference that will go absolutely nowhere.

[Arifufu]

no, once you dead you can't brought to life. Liz ins't a god either.

[MachineGod]

Depends when Atlus can’t milk P5 anymore they’ll give us our baby boy

[mutantbeth]

I don't think it matters. hes still gone whether his soul is trapped or not. I think really its all for liz's sake cause she now has a one true goal, making her more human and independant

[r1ver]

He's dead, Elizabeth can only free his soul from burden as being a door.
