*ruin your party dynamic*
pssh nothing personal, Joker
She makes the party more dynamic by adding a straight edge into a group of off-beats.
Hifumi should've been in the party.
>>376126964
best girl
>>376126964
That's Futaba
For proof of this look at palace 4 vs. palace 5
>>376127378
>>376126964
should stop at Yusuke. and maybe add 123
>>376126964
when she joins its just joker, yusuke, ryuji, and ann. ann and joker basically have no personality, so its just yusuke and ryuji being dummies/wierdos. i think having her in the mix was a good balance. she's an autistic wierdo too but she hides it better.
if anyone had a detriment to the dynamic it was futaba. i like her interactions with yusuke, but that whole week after she joins where everyone tries to help her branch out was so dumb. i liked futaba's reactions, but everyone fawning over her (makoto especially) was just dumb imo
>>376126964
Makoto should've joined after Futaba
Also Haru should have been more relevant before the dungeon she joins in to make the player give more of a shit about her and make her not feel shoehorned at the last minute
>>376126964
I wanted to like her but it really felt like her personality did a complete 180 once you got her on the team.
She went from fucking head of the student body to some autist that didn't know how to properly interact with people. In Japan are the student council students treated like shit? Cause they sure aren't over in burgerland. They're the damn king and queens of popularity. Maybe that was just at my high schools or something.
>>376128463
She only won because no one else wanted to run and she wanted that letter of recommendation
>>376128157
>Also Haru should have been more relevant before the dungeon she joins in to make the player give more of a shit about her
this 100%. they show her randomly in the fireworks cutscene, should have had some actual interaction that night too
>>376127091
>adding a straight edge to a group of outcast
why. also she does it ruin the fun, she's the naoto of P5 but even worse
*steals your heart*
The entire cast is trash, not even just her
>>376129338
I don't know who this is. We're talking about Persona 5 characters in this thread.

Yeah, fuck her. And not literally, especially since her sister is hotter.
>>376128463
Everyone was silently in agreement that the school sucked and Sae pressured her into doing everything possible to get that letter of recommendation. Probably the most interesting part of her social link is when she stops and thinks about her future and sees it all mapped out in front of her, even though she doesn't really want it.
>>376129830

*fucks your sister*
pssh nothing personal, prosecutor
>>376129737
No silly, it's Haru!
She's completely necessary.
The Phantom Thieves are just a group of naive kids running around and playing with fire until she joins.
When the police start actually cracking down on them its her leadership skills that keep them out of even more trouble than they got into.
>B-but muh Joker is the only leader we need
As the player insert all Joker can do is parrot other player's opinion. Makoto has to be the voice of reason.
>>376129982
It's not like she's been studying her whole damn life or anything

Yeah she drops major spaghetti in real life and not at school
that's her flaw
>>376126964
One of the major problems p5 has is that the cast is too big. The main talkers become Makoto, Ryuji and Morgana leaving Haru, Ann, Futaba and Yusuke to quip occasionally but otherwise say nothing.
>>376130121
You don't use it for the damage, you use it to crit shadow's that don't have weaknesses to exploit.
>>376130116
A big part of her arc is not knowing how to talk to people on a personal level.Beep Boop

she only took the job because she was expected too. Typical "My sister is doing all the work and I"m a useless piece of shit so I'm just doing what she wants me to do" gig till she realizes she needs to forge her own path, but realizes that she needs to learn how to think for herself after her awakening
>>376130259
Wrong.
Main talkers are Makoto, Morgana, and Futaba.
Ryuji only shouts and gets mad.
Ann is the only that regenerates the group with her cheery personality but she's no bimbo. When she understands, she actually understands.
Haru is the only one that I'll agree that actually is too late to join.
Still everyone of the girls is good in their own way. Why are you guys so mad that some people like a girl or something? Does it really hurt you or something?
>>376130297
To be fair Makotofags are the ones who most often shit on other girls.
>>376130051
You forgot something
Makoto (at least in my experience), says the shit I wish I could get Joker to say. It's so frustrating how shit and milquetoast everything Joker says is, the only good responses I like from him are the sarcastic ones. Makoto says the shit I wish I could say. Well with the exception of calling Goro out sooner, that nigga felt like a rat piece of shit right from the second meeting with him.
>>376126964
Computer! Activate personality parameters 0452GB. BEEP BOOP.
>>376130051
Makoto is not neccesary, she warns them about texting and shit and they still don't follow up on it, then they still continue to act retarded by going in palaces in public.
Futaba is the only SOLE character that is needed in phantom thieves
>>376130457
Are you sure? because I could swear that all who shits on Makoto are Kawakamifags, from my experience at least
>>376130051
I mean really only Futaba and Joker are necessary
>>376126964
More like ruins herself with that ugly outfit and mask.
>>376130457
The only people who routinely start shit are falseflaggers like you
>>376130051
She only exists to give the PT a connection to Sae. It was even said by the developers
>The best party member ruins the party dynamic
>>376130649
The outfit and scarf I like a lot
Her mask is literally the fucking worse though
>>376130470
>Help me or I tell the police and ruin your entire life!
Damn bitch.
No wonder no one in the school gives a fuck about her. How is she even the prez?
>>376130649
>ugly outfit and mask.
you have something against biker outfit anon?
>>376130457
If you said this before (like a long time ago or in the first few days after it released) I would agree. But now the only thing Makotofags keep on saying is "I like her!", "She's the best!" or explanations why they like her without shitting at the other girls that badly.
But antifags go all the ways and just shit on her totally to the point of making sure no one likes her.
I'm a Takemi guy and even I feel that it's really too much now. I've even seen exaggerations that never happened in game being pushed as the truth.
If it's going to be this way then fuck all of you. Takemi is the best. Ohya as well.
>>376130686
You're a fucking retard
>>376127128
This meme needs to end.
>>376128463
A lot of the times, people on Student Council are the only ones who ask for the position.
Anyway, Makoto was cute as a fuck up. The moment she joins the party, she's ruined and it's ruined. She turns into a total Mary Sue and doesn't interact with anyone else in a meaningful way, everyone's just sucking her dick or parroting her thoughts. She's honestly ruined the game for me.
>>376130801
She's a miracle of the universe, child.
>>376130331
You're not separating thoughts, you're separating each sentence with a line break. It's unnecessary and poor formatting.

And Ann was put there just so they can say that there's a foreigner in a school.
Ryuji was put there because they needed a moron.
Yusuke was only needed to say that they needed someone from outside the school.
Haru was there because.. why was she even there.
Actually why are the confidants in game then as well? Only Takemi and Iwai.
See how retarded that argument is?
>>376130708
>The best party member
How is that? Is it because the bitch talks the fucking most and controls all the conversations as soon as she joins the goddamn party?

It's actually Morgana > Sae > Ryuji > Makoto > Futaba > Ann > Haru

Unlike Futaba nothing would hardly change, Akechi would just replace her as the connection to Sae and Futaba does all the planning anyway

They just felt bad for the poor girl and Makoto is naturally a caretaker.
>>376130801
Agreed. Hifumi a shit.
Post em
>>376131076
Literally hardly any of them are needed after their introduction, once you have Yusuke what the fuck do you need Ryuji for? His calling cards are garbage. Why do you need Makoto when Futaba is more efficient? What is the point of haru in the team if she won't slide some cash to make phantom thieves have larger resources to work with? What the fuck is Ann needed for, seducing people? Morg is only good for being a bus once he dumped all the info he had
>>376126964
Story in the game leaves a lot to be desired in the game from Kaneshiro to Haru's father, she's not the problem.
My problem with her is how the group readily accepted her after a retarded action and half-assed confession from her part. I would be more cautious of someone who blackmailed me into doing something.
>>376131151
I bet everyone voted Arsene because he was in the game for all of an hour.

The fact that they have Makoto means they knew they needed her as a character. Also maybe you didn't watch the interview. But the last character that they made was Akechi. It was Joker > Ann > Ryuji > Makoto > Futaba > Haru > Akechi
>Futaba does all the planning anyway
Goddamn as long as you really can hate on someone you will spread lies huh.

>Helps Futaba in a motherly way

I'd agree with little comms with Haru,
Wow this place really wants to say lies just so they can justify their hate. Antifags really want to cling on a 2 year old interview where concepts were still being made.
I understand not liking something. Sure. But outright just falsifying stuff just to justify that? Goddamn. I hope you people get help.
The only good thing I'm getting from this is Takemi is not included in this shit.
>>376131160
>tfw they actually ask where Makoto is immediately when she isn't bossing the chat room around with a gorrilion messages
Fucking ruined. Everything revolves around this bitch
>>376131104
Which is pretty ironic for Ann considering she's there the longest. Ryuji and Morgana being up there make sense since they argue with one another every chance they have. Where's Yusuke? I'd place him at around Ann's range.

Bitch your previous feats definitely are the result of an omnipotent tool. But apart from that line I didn't have any serious complaints about Futaba, the writers needed a deus ex machina plot device.
shes garbage but not as shit as Ann

The entire plan set up to ruse Akechi was set up by Futaba, she was the one who actually confirmed he was double crossing the. She was the one who even told her to hack her sis's laptop and then was the one who set up the TV stations as a calling card. Once Futaba is in the team she actually does all the main planning, don't go pretending Makoto actually came up with any large plan when futaba was around.

When you said do all the planning it means she's the one who only actually plans everything. In that fact you already lied big time.
You are just focusing on one instance. If you said the shit about Akechi the of fucking course you are correct. But the fact that you only focused on that and never included anyone else means you are cherrypicking.

I listed 3 different scenarios which futaba dealt with once she joined. You're the one cherry picking which one you're reading. Stop acting oblivious, makoto became irrelevant in the grand scheme of plans when Futaba joined.
>>376132551
And so? Why are you not including Futaba in your reply? Haru is so fucking late to the party and has 5k fucking lines. Only 1.5k lower than Ann.
>>376128463
You had a student council or even class presidents in America?
I sure didn't.

>>376132895
>But the fact that you only focused on that and never included anyone else means you are cherrypicking
That revolved in one palace. But she didn't plan what to do on those palaces. THEY ALL DID. She was the one that had to do some of the important things for that palace, that I will agree.
And why are you focusing only on Makoto when I didn't even say anything about her being the main planner? Aren't you jumping to conclusions?
I just said she's an integral part of the crew. And people like you lying that she isn't needed is retarded.
>>376130447
>Cleopatra
Nice, but that impinges on Futaba's dungeon theme and Hifumi is distinctly very Japanese compared with the girls.
I reckon Chacha (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yodo-dono), evolving eventually to Tamamo-no-Mae if you go with the 9-tailed fox = god thing. Then load her up with ailments and battlefield control spells like Stagnant Air, Revolution, Marakunda, plus Concentrate, and steal Kaguya's multi-hit magic spell.
>>376131151
Do people really hate Ryuji that much? Why? He can absolutely annoy you with his retardation, sure, but he's an bro

It's OK. We know now that there are a lot of lies being said just so they can hate on a character they do not like. The only one in the party that I agree that should be really hated is Ryuji the moron. I don't need a retard in my party who gets mad and blurts out his anger in public, or shouts he's a Phantom thief over and over again.
>But he's a bro..
A bro would actually shut the fuck up when needed. Not keep shouting like a full blown parrot.
>>376133324
Goemon is pretty based.
>>376133452
Yep that's the problem.
Cleopatra perfectly fits the trickster theme and her queen-like behavior.
Buuut, the egyptian theme is already taken by Futaba's palace.
I like the Tamamo-no-Mae way, especially if she goes full bless skills (which makes Goro the Curse pursowner he deserves to be).

Telling makoto to hack her sis laptop happened eay earlier and then how she came up with the plan to ruse akechi was in sae's palace arc and then how to send a calling card that would be effective to shido was literally on the ship palace arc so what the fuck you on?
>And why are you focusing only on Makoto when I didn't even say anything about her being the main planner?
Go check the post replies before you ask dumb questions again.
>I just said she's an integral part of the crew
Pfft i said it already, once futaba joins her role as the management and planner of the group becomes irrelevant and only a blind fag like you will fail to realise this.

>>376131151
>no LOOOKKKII on that list
Spoiler sure, but he was good design.
>>376134145
Would it really have been too long? Persona 5 felt shorter than P4G to me.
>>376133453
>Do people really hate Ryuji that much? Why? He can absolutely annoy you with his retardation, sure, but he's an bro
Because he's garbage and took like 90 hours to stop being retarded. Yusuke is your bro but are you seeing him sperging out constantly in serious situations?
Being a bro doesn't stop you from being disliked and faggots like you are the reason why they keep re-using his character
>>376134145
That's a /v/ meme, she doesn't even have concept art
>>376134193

Goro is NOT a Phantom Thief
>>376134193
N-no, my guts isn't high enough.
>>376134262
I dunno how but I finished P4 in about 90 hours, and P5 in 120.
It still felt like it was lacking a dungeon or two, though.
>>376134253
He is not a teammate.
>>376134334
That's the point, Hifumi will never happen, just like crimson won't replace Leblanc and Sojiro with Sae Nijima and her apartment
>>376134421
>>376134340
I guess but that design was nice for an enemy persona.
Least Nips have decent taste
>>376134273
>Originally, however, Hifumi was planned to be involved in the game’s main scenario, eventually becoming a Phantom Thief herself as part of the main party. In the end, she was changed to just be a Confidant character, because the main scenario was already long at that point and that it would make it even longer.

Please end yourself.
>>376134145
She must have been so damn good as a PT that they didn't even bother making costume concept art or anything for her and then decided she was too good as a PT so they had to forcefully nerf her into a confidant.
>>376134587
Why were they gonna bring Ryoji back
>>376134728
Kill yourself you fucking subhuman.

Shut up pleb. I only like really obscure girls like yukata wearing girl 2#. Fucking normies liking actually developed girls. They just don't get it.
>>376134717
>>376134804
I can't wait till Crimson and see Hifumi won't be a part of PT so you can shut up for good
>>376134064
because theyre great
>>376134470
Crimson won't replace Leblanc that's for sure.But we all know we will just have a Marie 2.0 asspull
>>376134686
>>376134728
I know that was before the Leblanc and everything.
Of course they did concept art, if they had the idea of Hifumi as a PT, there HAS to be some sketches somewhere.
You can't put everything in a 500 pages artbook.
>>376134912
She will still be best girl.
>>376134382
Dunno you but I felt that I did a lot more in my play through of P4 than on P5. P5 scenes tended to drag quite a bit and starting some palaces also dragged a lot(namely madarame, kaneshiro, okamura).
>>376134064
liked most of the confidants here, my main issue is that sadly most of the non-automatic ones storylines ended up being them blackmailed or mother is a bitch.
>>376134887
That's just an illusion. You still get far more evenings than you need. i see them revamping Morgana's cockblocking when a new evening s-link is aded in the next version.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgW41uwP8co
Where did this "crimson" meme start from? P4 wasn't Golden for any reasons due to color. FES has nothing to do with any of that.
>>376131408
I'd move Tae up a tier but otherwise I'm the same
>>376135052
I hate this.
>>376135092
We need a name to refer to.
Crimson is a simple and logical choice.
How would you call it ?
P5 : the lost ones edition ?
>>376135092
>P4's main color is yellow
>Yellow>>>>Gold
>P5's main color is red
>Red>>>>Crimson
that's about it. It's not like anyone genuinely believes it'll be called Crimson , it's just that we gotta call it something until the official name is revealedor not
>>376134104
>Telling makoto to hack her sis laptop happened eay earlier
Ok she suggested it I agree.
>and then how she came up with the plan to ruse akechi was in sae's palace arc
It was actually Makoto who suggested this.
>then how to send a calling card that would be effective to shido
No problems here.
>Go check the post replies before you ask dumb questions again.
I think you should check it again. The only thing that was said in the post replies was, "I can't believe people will lie just to say they hate a character".
>Pfft i said it already, once futaba joins her role as the management and planner of the group becomes irrelevant and only a blind fag like you will fail to realise this.
Actually really, no. Like seriously. All of them had a part in the planning. The management actually fell on Joker and Morgana. Being retarded on Ryuji, Cheerful and Invigorating the group on Ann, double-checking and finalizing strategies on Makoto and Futaba, Coffee on Haru, Shrimps on Yusuke.
Actually if you are only saying this because you like Futaba more than the rest then I'm out. Everyone had their hand on the planning. You are the only one here that wants to say that only Futaba does everything when it is a total lie. Stop. No one here is insulting your girl.
>>376135052
I wonder?
>>376134064
But Hifumi's totally going to be a party member you guys. Never mind the fact that she's less popular than fucking Mishima.
The only thing I actually wish for is that your choice of romance would be brought up more often, somehow. I dont mean making them a party member or something, but some interractions with the phantom thieves in general. I waifud sensei on my first go and I hoped so much that I could see Ryuji's reaction to that for example. Having Soujiro lose it over it was already great, but I want reactions from my peers too. Granted it hasnt really been a thing in the previous games either, but still hoped for it to be there.
>>376135214
>cat box
I made up my mind.
I didn't romance Futaba on my first playthrough (did only SL lvl 2), but on NG+ I'm going to be faithful to her.

>>376135645
>>376135784
Writing is kind of wonky because they had in mind Joker cheating on one girl. Even what Sojiro says later.
Then again it's funnier getting beaten up by that many girls. Fucking lost it when Ryuji sent the text.
>>376134193
Bitch I just wanna buy a toy lightsaber for Goro stop trying to hook me up with a full grown man.
I want to be covered by Haru's fluff from head to toe!

This was the only good thing Ryuji did in the whole game.
>>376136012

I'm still buttmad that you only got to use Akechi for one dungeon. Him and Haru are so fucking useful, but you get both for the least amount of time.
>>376131408
Makoto had the most promise but failed on delivery badly.
Persona 4 or Persona 4 Arena DLC?
>>376131204
But Futaba was the original Medjed, so she knows anyone claiming to be them in Japan's all talk anyway. That and she was a fuck-up with suicidal thoughts that entire time.

Sending Morgana and seeing him blasting the glass panel with his slingshot was so satisfying.
>>376135251
>It was actually Makoto who suggested this.
But who came up with the plan? It was obvious that they needed to set up akechi when everyone knew he was a traitor. Stop acting like a mere suggestion means anything when she didn't actually come up with the plan.
You fucking said she was necessary and i basically tell you she isn't once futaba joins, took you 3 posts to even read the 3 scenarios i listed so clearly you aren't reading shit anyways.
>Actually really, no. Like seriously. All of them had a part in the planning. The management actually fell on Joker and Morgana. Being retarded on Ryuji, Cheerful and Invigorating the group on Ann, double-checking and finalizing strategies on Makoto and Futaba, Coffee on Haru, Shrimps on Yusuke.
Look at this shit, you are literally listing minimal shit that don't mean anything in the grand schemes like you really fucking said shit like coffee, besides the MC futaba is probably the only integral important member consistently after her own arc.
I don't even like this bitch since she kills all the tension and not my fault the cast was dogshit in this game to the point where only 2-3 members were actually required in their 8/9 man party.
>>376136350
I used her anyway. She's worth it!

>Tora being so fucking low.
I think of all the side characters I think years from now I will remember him the most. Especially considering how low anyone ( including myself ) trusts politicians nowadays having a character like him left a big impact on me. I'm suprised he's not more popular, guess I just have shit taste.

How can one girl generates so much salt?
>>376131853

Boy, that explains all these opinions about how useless almost every character is to the group as a whole besides Futaba for her deus ex machina hacking.

Oh no, your healer's utility side skill doesn't work in two boss fights! Makoto would be so much better with her flash bomb!
>>376136897
Sadly this is what a normal persona thread is
endless waifuwars
>>376136897
Its just persona fans who started with 5 getting to their first waifuwars and not knowing how to deal with the bantz. So people start screeching.
>>376136972
You don't use her for Flash bomb though
>>376136897
Makoto has been called a copypaste of half the female cast of Persona by now while simultaneously being a nothing character and a Mary Sue that takes over the whole story.
They're just trying to make you angry.
>>376126964
Greatest girl to ever not exist... ;_;
>>376127091
Sort of defeats the purpose of having a game about offbeat losers, then, doesn't it? It's not even like the school shuns her. She's actually exceedingly popular because she's the student president.

I thought Makoto is a the useless robotic character
>>376137069
It's about rebelling and none of them are outright losers.
No wonder you don't like Makoto when you don't know what the story is about.
>>376132023
And how is this actually calculated? Voiced, text, or both? It's pretty clear that length of any line has no bearing on the number, given Joker's got 30,000+ either from saying singular Persona or attack names or counting his one-line dialogue choices as 3 different lines of dialogue each time. Same for Morgana/Futaba being inflated from being the in-battle navigators.
>>376136828
>2 fights in the entire game
Are you joking.

>actually attacking with makoto and not just having her spam Defense buffs and Items during bosses

Perfect party would be everyone minus Makoto and Haru
>>376127091
Wasn't Morgana already kind of the straight edge?
>>376136897
Futaba was gonna be a mary sue hacker like i said as soon as her bio dropped.

Not one main character in this game was good.
>>376137245

Well we're clearly at odds as far as P5 girls are concerned, but I think we can all agree they're all better than Chie.
>>376136897
I like Makoto but not Makotofags only girl I truly dislike is Ann
then again nobody likes Ann, its also fun to bully Haru

>>376137267

>>376137167
Hifumi did the same shit with knowledge.
>>376137232

Haru is not for bullying.
>>376137218
Makoto is the X-girl of this game it seems

You hate Chie? just call Makoto the next Xhie
and the list goes on and on
>>376137435
Makoto don't have friends either.
>>376137392
Why do you dislike Ann? I can understand if she's not your favorite but there's nothing unlikable about her.
>>376137510
Mass effect?
But that's low hanging fruit.
Futaba ruined the group dynamic. Persona 6 should just get rid of the whole navigator role.
>>376137558
I guess, but only because she works hard to keep the high opinion of her in the school. All the students revere her because she's so smart.

>>376137648
I can sort of agree. They dropped the whole social anxiety thing pretty quickly and only brought it up for comedic purposes or S.Link scenes.
>>376137656
Actually they hate the fuck out of her. There was never even a mention in game that the students looked up to her. Except for maybe the members of the SC.

I never do 2nd playthroughs but I want to 100% the confidants. It takes the freedom out of things but I can't stop myself.
Always the flimsiest reasons for why they dislike her and then tripping over themselves to legitimize their highly subjective opinions.
>>376137764

I want her to have her hair whatever way she wants it. She's perfect as she is and I would never ask her to change anything about her for me.

What were you niggers actually doing with all your time? I didn't even use a guide and maxed everything with like a month to spare. Though finishing Haru's S.Link came down to literally the last day.
>>376137943
You can do fine without an all-present guide and just with minimal hints, the most important of which is rushing Chihaya to lv7.
hand over the fucking hairline
>>376137769
It's pretty easy to abandon any hint of social anxiety when you're around people you're comfortable with.
And they kinda boring it back up during her encounter with Sojiro near the end of the game, but that's more her emotional instability in the face of face-to-face adversion.
I can't wait for the honeymoon phase to end so people can stop making persona threads just to have a waifuwar

I can see why Akechi told them to shut up, I'd find it funny that seemingly the only characters not to acknowledge Goro and then immediately heap praise on him after are Sojiro and Ohya. Maybe the PT were just trying to humor him, though.

Replace Tae with Futaba, and bump Kawa up a notch and you're golden
>>376137980
Proficiency has by far the lowest amount of points required for rank 5. The only one that even comes close is guts and you still need 9 more points for that. Proficiency is also very easy to raise. The only downside is that Iwai is the only confidant that raises proficiency and you don't get too much from him. By the time Haru becomes available, you should very close to maxing all the stats anyway.
>>376137778
Nah. It ill be Futaba.
Futaba is cancer.
>>376129338
*drinks poop*

>>376137997
>Yusuke making some incomprehensible artistic musings
That's not true at all though. When they're not discussing serious stuff, yeah, Yusuke is autismo as fuck. But every time it was time to get down to business he was always one of the main contributors to the subject at hand and always caught on quickly. He arguably could have made just as a "strategist" if Makoto wasn't there.
They only play up the "eccentric artist" schtick for non serious scenes.
>>376138025
>Yeah I fucking hate girls that won't instantly suck my dick and might not even be that interested in me.
No, I hate her because she acts like a total bitch to almost everyone with little to no provocation
>>376136897
Nigger, how is Futaba NOT a deus ex machina. Her hacking is completely unrelated from her Persona powers, and yet as a 15 year old she can wiretap phones, hack police databases, hijack and broadcast edited videos to televisions across the nation, and even overcome the police trying to shut that down, among all the other stuff.
Like you can like the character, but she's singlehandedly got powers almost as bullshit as going into the metaverse and changing hearts in the first place, just because she's a shut-in. Imagine if Ryuji could punch down walls and shit in real life and the explanation was just "well he's an athlete"
>>376138238
I was 5 in charm, 4 in the rest when Haru was available. Prof was the 2nd last - after guts - to hit 5 for me.
>>376137997
Only one I would trust to lead the PT while I'm gone. Morgana's got knowledge of the Metaverse but good luck getting the team to respect a cartoon cat.
>>376138069

so as I'd ask her to do that, I'd also be fine with whatever she asks me to do

>>376137997
Yusuke is pretty smart. He's my favorite male character in the game because he's a good mix of contributing to investigations and funny autism. For one he actually bothers to research shit unlike most of the other characters.
>>376138341
Charm is easy because two confidants give you +3 per rank, but the amount of points needed for proficiency is very low.
>>376133173
>Not overpowering and making her submit to you
Come on, anon.
>>376138335
STOP. Remember. There is only one character that should be hated in this game.
Futaba, even though is an actual deus ex machina, should not be hated because she's small.
>>376138412
I don't think asking her to grow her hair out has anything to do with doing her best. It'd just get in the way while she's gardeningand I think she's got just the right amount of fluff anyway.
>>376138394
What was the context with this webm again, I have completely forgotten what Yusuke said there
>>376138310
That's what makes her likable though. Just because you can't handle the bantz doesn't make her shit.
>>376138335
>Like you can like the character, but she's singlehandedly got powers almost as bullshit as going into the metaverse and changing hearts in the first place, just because she's a shut-in. Imagine if Ryuji could punch down walls and shit in real life and the explanation was just "well he's an athlete"
this actually made me laugh and was a good point
this post does a good job putting into words my kinda-problems with Futaba
>>376138078
My point was that her anxiety around the gang went away in literally a week. It would take way longer for someone who was a shut in as long as she was to get used to any form of company.

>>376138649
They came out from Futaba's Palace and ended up in front of Leblanc, when Sojiro said what's up? Makoto said we came to have coffee and Yusuke said "but I'm not thirsty."
>>376138481
Oh that makes sense. When I saw the rest of his rank ups were just gun upgrades from Special Fate Reading I decided if someone was getting left unfinished it'd be him (and Ohya)
>>376138402
just because a character is realistic doesn't make them likable.
Yosuke is a realistic character and I think he's a prick.
Chie is a realistic character and I like her.
Haru is the most pathetic character after Akechi.
She didn't even despise the PT despite having every reason to and not even a little bit after her fathers fuck up. She just takes everything in and accepts it. A nothing character.
>>376137863
Yeah that makes some sense. At that point I had max Charm and Knowledge with the others stats sitting at rank four. I didn't need her too badly in NG since Shiki-Ouji had some Psi skills and was still pulling his weight.
>>376138767

>>376138614

From what I heard, you could hang out with her during the Hawaii trip instead of Makoto, teach, or Hifumi, but I don't know what the conditions are.

>>376134470
what will Persona 5 Crimson even be? just the base game with more content or?
>>376138335
Because she's grounded. Every single one of the Phantom Thieves have grounded backgrounds except for Makoto. There is absolutely no good reason for her to be as strong or as smart as she is, and it's a terrible fault in the writing.
Say what you will about Futaba, but the detriment to the writing isn't that one or the other is a Mary Sue, but that they don't provide ample reason for me to care about Makoto in comparison to Futaba (who's given possibly the most time for development and in general, screentime), and that her background dump was shit and unfulfilling, and that they dropped her Queen act not even 5 minutes into her dungeon.
You guys go on and on about terrible story devices, but I haven't seen a good argument that addresses how they drop the ball on the actual writing and characters.

I'm not specifically blaming either Makoto or Futaba, but the writing admittedly took a pretty big nosedive after they joined.

Why the change? You can't even use the "he's a male" excuse because Naoto pretends to be a boy.

>>376138860
We'll just have to disagree on that. I think it's simple and practical, yet elegant, which fits her perfectly.
>>376138767
Given the outfit is skintight in the first place, it's a bit concerning how low Makoto's ass droops despite that, with all the curves on the hips instead of the cheeks. She must have a flabby pancake ass.
>>376131151

He's probably the only comic-relief character in this series whose actually funny. Although I don't know what it says about everyone laughing at autism but
>>376136567
Why do you pathetic faggots always do this? Always put your rancid fucking fingers in your ears and just shout "LALALA YOU JUST HATE HER BECAUSE SHE'S POPULAR!!!!!!!" every single goddamn thread? If you actually read the posts instead of assuming shit, you would realize that most aren't even the character, but that she ruined the party dynamic and turned the entire party into an echo chamber for her thoughts and Futaba's. It's not her fault, but you can't deny that's what happened
>>376138968
Yes, in fact if you finish his dungeon but don't send the calling card right away your party members will be unavailable until you send it. So like the others it's best to do it as soon as possible.
>No hint or any kind of remote explanation on why Yusuke/Haru have a AK/Launcher
You can't ruin what was not there in the first place.
>>376138394

>>376139115
Shido's influence. Also the fact that Naoto became so successful might have given him an in.
>>376138767
Makoto obviously has the best body but there is much more to a girl than that
>>376139126
Okay then
you now remember that part of the game Yusuke left the student dorms, just assuming Ann would let him stay with her
>>376139115
Naoto has the most boring personality possible, Akechi actively tried to make himself seem "desirable" and it worked
>>376132057
Didn't sound like they followed that trend in the dub.

>>376139161
Yes. Basically that guy is making stuff up. It's like he forgot how desperate Makoto was and forgot to actually think.
She made it harder yes, but they couldn't actually find him and almost gave up.
>>376139161
No. Go replay the scene again or watch a LP if you don't have a save near there.
Joker is talking to one of Kaneshiro's subordinates and is about to be offered a job, which would have inevitably led to them finding out about Kaneshiro. Then Makoto walks up and starts pressuring the guy too hard, making him suspicious so he walks off. When she realizes she fucked up that's what prompts her to jump the gun again and lead to the whole blackmailing situation.
She sped up the process by being reckless, but it wasn't like they had absolutely no leads prior to that. Not even being anti-Makoto.
>>376139186
I have yet to see a legit reason why would someone hates her.
She's useless! she's not
she's a Mary sue! she's not
I hate her because she's the main focus of the game! she's not

What's the explanation about why Ann gets an SMG?
>>376138975
>There is absolutely no good reason for her to be as strong
She's not strong
>or as smart
She literally studies all day are you fucking stupid ? Not to mention her parental figure is extremely educated and pushing her towards being the same as her. Her intelligence makes much more sense than Futaba's, who just... sat in her room reading books and now she can hack japan's entire tv broadcasting system at a moment's notice ?
>they don't provide ample reason for me to care about Makoto
If you don't care about her that's fine but they give you more than ample reason to care about her character arc and personal crisis, pretending otherwise is being intellectually dishonest.
>her background dump was shit and unfulfilling
She had no background dump, her background was unveiled little by little and it made organic sense. Sorry you can't pay attention for more than five minutes.
>they dropped her Queen act not even 5 minutes into her dungeon
Yeah, I admit that didn't make sense considering they didn't drop the panther or skull act oh wait no nevermind you're a fucking retard and there was no "act" to begin with
>>376139428
But that guy would let Joker meet Kaneshiro personally
Joker would be like that kid from school

Which of these four are virgins? I'd be very surprised if Haru was, and I feel like Makoto and Futaba - ignoring they were raped - are. Ann could go either way though.

Joker was about to be offered a job but Makoto ruined it. It's after that when she gets desperate and pulls her stunt. Even if that turned out to be a bust, they still had other sources to fall back on from the people at school who had already been tricked into working for Kaneshiro.
No one is making shit up. You just conveniently block that part out of your memory to defend her.
Futaba, Haru and Chihaya are the only girls who express interest in you before you take initiative.
Incidentally, they're the 3 best girls in the game.

Second of all, I could excuse the homophobia if Yosuke wasn't a self-righteous asshole throughout the entire story.
>>376127128

Can we all agree both Futaba and Makoto made the game worse as a result? One literally only exists as a deus ex machina and the other adds no meaningful dynamic to the party except ruin the fun.

>>376138975
Wasn't saying she's not entertaining or that there's good writing. If anything, it was more that Futaba is a deus ex machina and almost every other party member feels useless.
Personally I would have liked them all to play it up more. I thought the story was going to stay with the Phantom Thieves being more aggressive, but after their 2nd attempt, almost every change of heart was defensive and forced instead of something they did for their own justice.
I thought they'd do more stuff like the Madarame heist where everyone had a part to play. Or in real life, they'd do things like use Yusuke's artistry for pro-Phantom Thieves propaganda-esque grafitti to try and get the general population more rowdy. Ryuji traveling with Joker for muscle, and popping into metaverse while the others did their things. Ann using her modeling connections to find real scumbags or rumors.
It just sucks that Futaba is the only one that has standout utility while the rest don't get to have their talents shine. It's just another thing that makes everything about the story or group feel way more passive than everything in the first like 20 hours implied. I don't even feel like a rebel so much as a bullied student.

>>376139946
Then why we can see some atms on the ground and not up there in the Palace?
you have to be a special kind of customer to let that palace get lower
Just like that door in Madarame's Palace, if you open in in real life it will open in the Palace
You need to see Kaneshiro himself so you could go to his palace.
>>376140080

I'm a Kawakamifag. Why is Makoto the default? Did she hurt you or something?
I ain't making Kawakami massage you fucks.
>>376139576
And? Meeting someone in person was never a condition to entering their Palace. All you need is their name and keyword.
Once he was in with the group anyway it probably wouldn't have been that difficult to find out who he was working for since it wasn't even like Kaneshiro was trying to hide his name or anything. The police couldn't even touch him after multiple attempts. It might have taken a bit longer but they would have had more time to find out his name and they would have been considered customers since they were working for him already as well.
Like I said, Makoto sped up the process, yeah, but she also put them in a much more dangerous position while putting them under a timeline.

This palace is floating which makes sense , since no one not even the police, know who or where he is. so it reflects the real Kaneshiro

Every palace has its own condition, if Haru didn't help the PT opening that door they wouldn't be able to proceed

Yea this "party" that relied on a NEET to solve everything for them.
This party that needed 90 hours to stop fucking around. When the MC only needed 3 word liners to convince an entire party who can't think for themselves and wanted to give up the final battle with shit like "don't give up" and they all did a 180, i knew from then this party was just as shit as 4 but worse in the sense it took them like 8 years to shit this out.
>>376140517
>I'll just jack a one sentence long dictionnary definition, that oughta cover it
No
A deus ex machina is very specifically a plot device that is completely external to the plot up to that point and that quickly intervenes to solve a situation that has no other solution.
This doesn't apply to futaba at all if you rub two braincells together. Her existence was set up plenty of time in advance, the party actively seeks her because they want to ask for her help to solve the situation they're in because they had a first hand demonstration of her skills, and they have to work for it.
There's literally no fucking ground to call her a deus ex machina.

I just replayed P3 a few months ago and I think this is a good point. In P3 when the party are trying to cope with the end of the world and Nyx, they all take some time off and come to their own resolutions and courage. You even see people like Junpei and Fuuka talking and encouraging each other. P3's MC has almost no involvement with 'encouraging' them other than acting as a strong leader.
It's sad how this can never happen in a persona game ever again.
>>376140169
Y'know, I always wonder this alot.
Why don't the P5 crew ever stop and think "What the fuck? These things even beg for their lives. Are we murderers?". I'm kinda glad that they don't because it stops the "hurr we are the REAL monsters" retardation, but it's still weird in an sociopathic sort of way.
