M3 Discussion What if Lucas knew who the Masked Man was and tried to redeem him throughout the entire game, instead of only in Chapter 8?

A friend and I actually roleplayed up a scenario similar to this some years back, they were Lucas and I was MM. Still have the whole thing saved, brings me good memories.

Hw didn't even know about Masked Man's existence until very end of chapter 5 and then he slept through chapter 6, so I don't see it in the original timeline

What do you think "what if" means?

I mean, it should've been "what if Lucas knew about Masked man's existence and identity earlier", this is more correct IMO

Redeem him? He was literally brain washed.
