p4 doesnt have any actual caucasians but teddie looks white.

actually it's kind of weird that teddie grew a white dude's body when he was hanging out with nothing but japanese dudes and was made by a japanese deity

He reached deep into the collective subconscious and withdrew the understanding that foreigners are sexier.

i mean, everyone in japan has either brown or black hair, so it makes sense to take any excuse to vary up the cast's looks if you're going for a more 'realistic' design sense. persona takes some liberties in places (dark blue that you can technically call black, mitsuru having red hair just like all french people do?) but there's nobody with green or pink hair like some anime.

Junpei, Shinjiro and Mitsuru are a few of my favourite Persona characters. Also Koromaru.

And Fuuka has no problem calling out your bullshit if you cheat at the game (but not in relationships).

Next persona game should have a foreign exchange student with black hair hanging out with gyarus and delinquents who dye their hair, IMO

Even long after finishing the game I'm still a little surprised at how well it worked to just make the Shadows classic SMT demons this time instead of weird, more abstract enemies. It works out on so many levels.
  • It actually makes more sense--if Shadows are supposed to emerge from the collective unconscious much like Personas do, why wouldn't they also take the form of prominent symbols, literary figures, and myths?

This one, in particular, doesnt make much sense to me. Shouldnt the collective unconscious be filled with things like Sheldon Cooper and the Me Gusta face?

And then of course DAN screws that bit up too.

Ryuji would look pretty weird with black hair after a whole game getting used to him being blond.

Eh, probably, but in Persona, they generally reach back further and more primordial than that. It's more like Personas and Shadows represent archetypes than anything else.

Fuuka really has quite an unflattering haircut. It's almost impressive how much thought went into that.

I like to imagine that the character designer rejected many drafts for being too stylish, and had to force themselves to make a boring-looking person.
