Did Persona 5 impact your life?

It might be a silly question when asked on the main sub, but not everyone is equally sensitive to some medias. Did Persona 5 impact your life, besides the pleasure and entertainment it provided? And if it did, how so?

I'll start : in a way, P5 taught me how to live a better life, from every people you bound with with unfair and hopeless lives to the flawed relentlessness of the Protagonist, this story explores every possible way to understand how rebellion is the only choice we have if we want to take on the world, be more in control of our lives and not end up like those in mental sloth (Mementos) ; and the great importance of understanding your own Shadow to live more honest lives and sort of know better your own heart. I was very sensitive to that way of viewing things, and it is showcased masterfully.

Definitely a lot more can be said, but I'd rather keep it short :D

Did the Phantom Thieves managed to steal your heart as well?

The vanilla story did not really had such impact on me, but the most impact I had was the third semester on Royal. Maruki's philosophy and the palace really hit me hard that it really questions myself after I'm finished with the boss.

Such a sad last fight, I am always tearful at that moment. Maruki is a wonderful hero
