It's not really secret when the game is making a point of calling out the exact sin each boss embodies.

Kemix posted:Personally I think most (not all) of the confidants come off as pretty sympathetic all things considered. Kawakami's is one of those, but we get into that when it happens. ChaosArgate posted:One of the bigger ideas this game pushes is that appearances aren't always what they seem, and it's absolutely true for Kawakami. Her S Link is legitimately one of the better ones in the game, so hopefully we'll see more of it soon.

Oxxidation posted:This kind of regressive bullshit isn't endemic to all Japanese writing. It's just that Persona's writers, in particular, seem to be partly stuck in high school themselves when it comes to certain subject matter, and it gets more tiresome as its players get older. Which explains a lot about P3's romance routes when you think about it.

I got the sense they really didn't intend you to do every dungeon in one day(or the minimum allowed by stuff like the real-world interlude in Madarame's palace), but that was never going to stop people from doing it anyway.

DeafNote posted:You dont even need Morgana at this point At this point I was running MC/Makoto/Ryuji/Yusuke as my main team even though Ryuji and Yusuke both fill the same physically oriented slot(in slightly different ways, but still doing the same basic thing). I don't think I had Morgana on my team at all outside of Mementos(for variation's sake) once I had someone to replace him. He's too damned fragile for my liking.

gmq posted:I think Yusuke reads as being somewhere on the spectrum which excuses somewhat his past behavior. Mishima is just a dumb but normal kid with zero social skills, it's a lot easier to get annoyed by him.  I got that vibe from Yusuke too. Socially awkward, intensely focused on his interests, sometimes does odd things for reasons that make sense to him but not other people, etc.That and his bad behavior is 99% confined to his intro dungeon(which doesn't excuse it, but it minimizes the damage), after which he's just weird-but-harmless comic relief, whereas Mishima is all terrible all the time. Yes, Mishima has some mitigating factors from abuse by Kamoshida/general bullying, and it's obvious his path is going to some bad places unless someone intervenes, but that doesn't make him any more tolerable to be around. Just like some terrible people in real life! Robindaybird posted:It's more lot of the links is 'nod and follow along' - like the Qara example, the way to maximize her influence is to keep telling her it's okay to set fire to everything that remotely piss her off or that it's good she refuses to control her magic. You still get the 'nod and follow along' thing in P4 and 5, but both of them do a good job of avoiding the "holy poo poo, the MC is a sociopath" vibe you could get from P3.

W.T. Fits posted:3 does, but you don't find out that it's your teacher until you're partway through the link due to you meeting them and getting to know them anonymously in an online game at the start of the link. And you never actually meet with them in person for your link events, so dating never comes up.

Ages aside, another huge problem with student/teacher relationships is the inherent power imbalance. This is also why those relationships are verboten in higher education(at least in the US) - sure, everyone involved is legally an adult, but the power issues remain. You could argue that the situation here balances it by giving Maaku extra power on his side of the equation, what with him hiring Kawakami as a maid and knowing secrets that could get her shitcanned, but from my POV that just makes the whole thing even more hosed up. "I have these secrets hanging over your head, and you could ruin my grades and whatnot if you wanted to, so I guess we're even" doesn't exactly scream 'healthy relationship' to me.

Ah, the gym. AKA 'the place you go to once, see it gives you poo poo for the time spent, and never go back'. Does it improve eventually? Hell if I know, but I'm not sure why you'd want to waste the time trying. I guess it might be alright as a 'you literally have nothing else to do' time-filler in NG+?

LJN92 posted:It's stuff like this that reminds me of how much I've come to dislike these sadistic comedy shticks. It seems to be common in anime style media to have a character that everyone takes a huge dump on even when they really don't deserve it. I have no idea who thinks these kinds of moments are funny, but they leave the worst taste in my mouth, to the point I tend to drop anything that relies on this type of "humour". I'm really glad P5 dropped that after it was a minor point in P3 and a recurring "gag" in P4.
