One of Elly's is stealth action where she stalks the MC and another is IdolMaster except with modeling. Kei's is a clone of Adventure Capitalist.

I'm not saying I think the P2 cast should've gotten spin-offs instead, just that I always felt they were stronger. The spin-offs were a novel way to get more money out of people and tide them over until P5, but I think it's just made me harbor more resentment than I ever had for either the P3 or P4 cast because it's been like 7 years and they've kind of just been the same. Any new character is at least refreshing or interesting because they're different.

You probably did like them at first and your opinion changed over time

It seems like a lot of popular games go through this. Like at first you play the game and you're hyped because you liked it so much and talk it up to people, then after a while the glow fades and you realize that ok maybe I was being kind of hyperbolic before but it's still good, but then you see other people that just played it still talking the game up more than it maybe deserves, and that keeps happening over and over again for years until your enthusiasm has been replaced by frustration. Especially when other, better games are released and people still talk about whatever older game as still being the best even though it kind of isn't anymore.

idk I'm just guessing, it just seems that a lot of popular games start off with the loudest voices being glowingly positive and then over time it becomes almost unanimously negative


That might be the case. It still annoys me that even if waifu wars are ironic or not that they're about the same characters we've been seeing for 9 and 7 years with maybe 1 or 2 additions and it never feels like the conversation is about anything else.

Junpei and Yukari are the best characters in my opinion, of any SMT game I've played, especially in P3P lady mode . This may have something to do with me playing hundreds of hours of FES when I myself was an emotionally stunted, depressed teen.

I wouldn't say of any, but they're definitely the best of P3. Junpei and Yukari at least have flaws they work out through the course of the game and have defense mechanisms to show they're rather broken people. It's especially different compared to like most of the rest of the cast who are all a lot less relatable as people or enjoyable as characters.

My biggest hope for P5 is that whatever problem you deal with in your party member s.links are different from whatever happens in the main story so they don't end up as extremely flat and 2dimensional like the entire p4 cast. Even if most of the p3 cast was kind of balls at least they had arcs that happened in the actual game and weren't in a vacuum.

What, don't you enjoy most of the party member s.links ending with 'I'm not going to change the status quo and I'm okay with that now!'?

Yeah. Alternatively don't have the party members be separate S links but have them get more stuff in the main plot to compensate.

Persona 5 will probably be good but people will have long since overhyped themselves into thinking it will be more than it is and so people will hate it when it comes out.
