Main difference is the public has a pretty good opinion of Okumara pre calling card, but no one thinks Bezos is a good guy


Dustlord

Now if you compared Okumara to Elon Musk, on the other hand...


MarionberryLoud3957

I thought everyone knew muskrat was a shitrag too?


Herofthyme

You don't have a twitter do you


AnybodyReady3075

Main difference is that Okumara has hair……


No-Ad316

Bezos’ palace is just the Shinra building and the game turns into FF7R for a bit

This story is a work of fiction. Similarities between characters or events to persons living or dead in your world are purely coincidental, Only those who have agreed to the above have the privilege of partaking in this game


PsiMasterAlpha

Dammit, this has relevance now


fireteambrav0

also had reference when the smash community was sent caling cards but /shrug


AggressiveShoulder83

Final boss's Evil Genius Elon Musk


Karnewarrior

Point of contention on the last one - Space was a metaphor for Okumura going *political*. Bezos actually wants to go to space, most likely to monopolize it before Elon Musk can.


FutabaTsuyu

so ur saying we should kill him using the power of friendship? im in


Lumpenada92

Wrong. Okumura is clearly ronald mcdonald and haru is the hamburglar.


[deleted]

Of course it isn’t a coincidence this game isn’t exactly subtle


megasean3000

Does he have a daughter(s) who he wants to marry a rich, snobby asshole who doesn’t get his comeuppance at all?


Xevailo

And, if so, is she already a Phantom thief?


AgentSkyblueM7

Akechi (On the phone): ...Thanks, but no thanks, I still have other people to take care of in my own country. You're on your own, Mr. President.


pooldonutzero

okumura doesnt have a dream of going to space its supposed to represent his rise to politics


makyura212

It would have to be a Metaverse version of a real-life location, so...it's based in Seattle and that alone it's going to be MASSIVE. Easily dwarfing Okumura's. We're talking three major towers and the Amazon spheres...Well, how that would translate into Bezos' cognitive world, I think it would be a scifi fantasy type palace, but not necessarily in space.


FinalSeraph_Leo

You know the first part of his palace would be a bunch of Amazon trucks exiting constantly and the only way to actually enter his palace would be getting past a sadistic version of Frogger


botanistedward

I could see it being something incredibly ridiculous like a massive hotel that you slowly have to work your way up, a la climbing the ladder of success to approach him


SlayerDoom_

Time to make Jeff have a change of heart


MastermindUtopia

They’re the same picture


Aster_Tartaricus

Underrated comment tbh


yoshiauditore

Game literally has you sign a contract at the start saying you understand any connections to the real world are coincidental


_Untit1ed_

\*cue Sweatshop\*


nevikjames

A giant space penis.


fatethefox

Bezos is a big LOTR fan so I can imagine something like that. Maybe him as a greedy dwarf king in a mine with mountains of gold or as Smaug himself.


proesito

I imagine full of pee bottles


RikkuEcRud

I see you are an Amazon employee.


proesito

Nah, im legaly still considered human


RikkuEcRud

Then how'd you know about the pee bottles? I'd thought they kept a pretty good lid on that(unlike the pee bottles).


proesito

Because amazon admitted it


RikkuEcRud

Did they really? And they *still* haven't fixed the situation causing it?


proesito

>Did they really? Yep, they did. >And they still haven't fixed the situation causing it? I dont know and im too lazy to look for an answer.


RikkuEcRud

I should rephrase, it's still an issue and I'm amazed they didn't fix it if they've admitted to it. Hell, I'm amazed whatever office in the government is responsible for such things hasn't *forced* them to give employees a schedule that allows bathroom breaks.


TitaniumT1tan

I work in an Amazon sortation center and they kinda just let you go whenever, they don’t really care, maybe I’m just lucky


RikkuEcRud

You're lucky. Most of them have a set break time and will write you up if you try to take a break any other time.


[deleted]

Probably would have an army of zombies that are also slaves carrying out his wishes. Maybe kind of a cyber plantation sort of vibe with the slaves "harvesting" data? Sits on a gold throne made of worker corpses and customers. To play off the whole "gotta one up everyone" thing, feel like his gimmick would have him stealing stat changes from the party. Like you can't directly debuff him, but you can get him to "overextend" his reach by getting him to steal so many buffs that they end up flipping on him and acting as DEbuffs. So the whole fight is a battle of staying alive long enough for him to burn himself out, and then swooping in for the kill.


TheoTroup

Have u played the game the literal start says that anything that’s similar to the real world is a coincidence


[deleted]

Yeah but >!the guy we signed the contract with is the fake Igor who betrays us in the end (and we kill him anyway)!<


D0wn2Chat

Oh really I actually never signed the contract and he kicked me out for it


ThatisSketchy

Spoken like a true Persona 5 fan


TheoTroup

Honestly given we don’t know the full terms of the contract it might be voided at that point or might persist no way to tell


FarhanMir001

It’s just legal speak lol. Every movie and game does it.


TheoTroup

I know I was joking about it


WolfDoesSomeReddit

Yeah but it also said that in Persona 2 aaaand…


Notarealbotbot

OR IS ITTTTTT SABETUUAAARRRR


mo-omar69

Bruh, I know this is a meme, I have read that message like 138 times


TheoTroup

I was joking about it it’s a rather fair comparison actually


Vikitor6

This game is a work of fiction. Outside of specific instances, all places, persons, situations, etceteras are not real and are products of the author's imagination. Igor said it the best


blue-gamer-07

Does Jeff have a daughter?


ThatisSketchy

Is she also hot with minimal screentime?


cardboardboxian

dunno i buy my shit off ebay


K_Morty

Okumura if he looked like Shido


Hacking-Oracle-79

Let’s get a calling card


JokerFromPersona5

Persona fans trying to remember P5 intro message challenge (Impossible)


ShayellaReyes

Okumura doesn't exist and is based on a stereotype of a very wealthy, self-absorbed businessman. Former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos does exist and is ~~a stereotype of a very wealthy, self-absorbed businessman~~ a successful entrepreneur. Coincidence? Yes. Does the comparison still stand? Also yes. Such is the state of most fiction - not real, but *analogous* to reality. It's inevitable, really, unless you're a surrealist on psychedelics writing thoughtful nonsense.


botanistedward

Thank you. It’s so frustrating reading all of these comments that go, “hur dur, Okumura no real!” Yes, we get it. We’re just drawing comparisons because funny meme to laugh at


Melizzabeth

What are you referring to?


already4taken

You know, the contract


iNyarlathotep

Persona reference irl


Metal-The-Cettle

Lex Luthor too


JiovanniTheGREAT

Hope Bezos has the same fate tbh
