While I agree that the reasoning for the two teaming up is sloppy writing, I disagree that this somehow disavows everything else that I wrote. The groups do in fact line up with the classic MegaTen choice system. Yukari and Akihiko did both threaten the other groups that they would take their keys by force, and Junpei did want to talk the situation through more before making a choice. So it wasn't all "sloppy writing".Originally Posted by Skyblade
I enjoy The Answer because it did two things, it did a good job dealing with a group mourning a death and trying to come to terms with it, and it showed a very ambitious take on what happens when a group gets a very difficult choice to change the past even if it meant dooming humanity. We got to see how P3 affected the cast and The Answer shows us why this game is so fundamentally different from P4's happy family cast. P4 cast walked away as the unknown heroes, P3's cast survived a difficult conflict.
It also gave the cast a happier ending, which is something when you consider only one Persona game's canon ending is actually upbeat (P4) while the rest are bittersweet at best.
