anyway akechi is one of two (2) persona 5 characters with any kind of definable and consistent personality

the 2nd one being "everyone else" i assume, because they all seemed pretty consistent to me besides Ann's sudden weird swing from defying the stereotype to embodying it after the 1st dungeon

Endorph posted:

Adachi is a literal attempted rapist. Also Akechi is a 15 year old from an abusive family, Adachi is a grown adult with a fully developed brain who had a seemingly normal homelife.

Akechi is also an unrepentant mass murderer. His character is there to fit the theme of "old people are monsters" by showing how they twist the younger generation and use them as tools to keep living comfortably, yes, but he himself is still a pretty big piece of poo poo.

Adachi is also a huge piece of poo poo but he acknowledges that on some level in the end and is willingly serving a life sentence because of it.

Same, though that was likely the intention of the character. But it made his psycho flip a lot less impactful than adachi who was a lovable bumbler up to that point

It's hosed up they wanted to make an unlikable character and then made him like 1 of maybe 3 people in the whole story with any personality.

Ann "Lisa Bronzeman" Takamaki should have been the traitor because it would have at least given her something to do.

I would rather in the next game they keep the main cast to the initial four, and give them two personas or something to make up for the loss of variety, that way they can give them lots of story focus.

persona's hardly the only series to do this, where there's this huge cast to try to cast as wide a net as possible in people's interest
but i would be super down for condensing all that screen time and resources down to a core group and being able to properly flesh them out

I liked what the first DeSu did which, for the most part was just MC, Otakuro and Yohoo with the occasional 4th party member and you gained a lot of insight on your party members little by little.

Adachi is also, an attempted rapist, and at no point does he say 'sorry for all those rapes' just 'huh i guess friendship CAN be good'

i feel like people are missing the rapist part. akechi killed people sure but he's also, 15 years old, and desperate to be approved of by his father figure who has abused him his whole life. not that that makes murder cool, but. his brain is literally not fully formed. he does not have the mind of an adult. his faculties are not fully capable of grasping what he's doing. because he is a child. a child who was also never really given a chance to develop normally socially. unlike adachi, who is a fully functioning adult with a fairly normal upbringing, who decided to do a rape.

also makoto is consistent? lady went from angry punch girl to boring strategist student council girl but she still does the angry punch thing in gameplay.

I don’t think any of the Persona 5 cast had consistent characters. They all had a couple traits but the game barely cared about showing them.

I mean PQ set the characters to a point where certain devastating things hadn’t happened yet including the P4 cast not knowing who the murderer was yet.

I’d fully expect Q2 will set the events to around the Sae dungeon so while Akechi will have done all the bad things no one will know it yet. He has cool primary personas and cool weapons and a cool design ok yes I’m one of the girls who just thinks he’s cute and I plan to use him.

Since there would only be like 4 women in the whole game (one dead, one married, one obsessed with your best friend, and your mom) you'd finally get to date boys. And there wouldn't be any Best Boy arguments, since everyone would correctly pick Okuyasu.

Nocturne was fun and had rad world/level designs, and I'd love to see it in HD . It will also be funny to see all the new people who have "why can't metroid crawl" type reactions to meeting with a certain skeletal spaniard.

No, I don't want to play "Conversation Parade".
It'd track considering how much they're talking about evoking Nocturne's feel for SMT5. If it looks like there's a good chunk of development time left this would be a good introduction/holdover, especially for people who are only familiar with Persona.
