Bleached blonde hair is a trait of delinquents, to look Western. Meanwhile, Ann is simply half Western.

What the fuck.
Okay when I saw he was voiced by Matt Mercer in English I liked him a little more but in Japanese he's so fucking bland and his plot is just boring.
>Muh Sayuri
Why is he that high up? Japan please stop.

That's a pretty predictable ranking. Ann and Ryuji are introduced so early in the game and quickly lose any sort of focus and attention by the halfway point of the game whereas Makoto and Yusuke are introduced by the halfway point of the game and thus remain fresher in the memories of most players by the end of this 90+ hour JRPG. Haru is the inverse of Ann and Ryuji who gets introduced far too late to even have an impact and her arc gets hijacked by Morgana.

I mean to be fair Ryuji actually is a bro, but mostly about shouldering 99% of a cat's undirected and unwarranted abuse. He doesn't really get anywhere in his own s.link, he saves the team and stops the adults from screwing it up, but you don't go anywhere with him beyond "I want to help you fuck up adults" from start to finish.


Junpei basically becomes 30 mentally by the end of his character arc, and "Daisy" Hanamura is probably post-op by the time of persona 5. That's character development, unlike this overly long post designed only to get me the six at the end of my post.

Goro should've stayed for the Shido fight and then die to make escape for the Phantom Thieves when the palace was collapsing instead of Ryuji trying to "sacrifice" himself.

Whew I bet Atlus was worried when they decided to almost grow some balls and give the MC some kind of personality.

Thank god they just kept him a blank card with occasional voice dialogue, or else who else could we imprint our own pathetic lives onto?

The best part is the MCs are best when people build upon what little personality clues are given anyway, Yu being a Chad for example

>>387234484

>>387234363
>you don't go anywhere with him beyond "I want to help you fuck up adults" from start to finish.
I thought his social link was more about letting go of the past and finally making up for his fuckup that hurt the team. He was able to leave them with no regrets in the end.

This fucking game was the blueballs of drama like I've never even known. Even Goro goes out offscreen and the party gets over it like he's Harry Fucking Kim.

The nerdy antagonist hanging out with Jesus and Evanescence in P3 gets more tearjerking than anyone in this fucking game. I don't get it, did they forget? Did p4 damage their brains so badly they literally can't do bittersweet any more?

>>387234743

>Iwai and Tora so low
Tasteless monkeys.

>>387234606
That's valid, and he does do that. This is a relatively self-contained plot arc though, in that he doesn't bring it up anywhere except his own s.link.

So its not really a character development as much as a short pamphlet, and the real killer is that it doesn't reflect on any of his character in the rest of the game. He doesn't "learn to let go of past mistakes" in other situations, he DOES almost manage to show some development right at the end in the prison, but they miss a chance to go "Look Ryuji has learned to let go of mistakes and aim for a bright future by driving the team to free themselves" and hand the job to you, because Ryuji is a sprinter not a walker.

Compare and contrast with Junpei, who gets his own fucking sidestory about essentially becoming a man, loving and losing, and deciding what is really important between himself, his teams and his goals.

Awful taste japanfags

>>387234881
Fuck man he's basically the guy everyone draws in NTR manga its through his insane charisma that he's even out of double digits.

Its like having 18Cha on a leper, it can only balance the books so far.

Tora is easily the best confidant in P5,
and not just because he's one of the game-breakers

Also fuck Mishima for forcing me to break my "FUCK THE MOON S.LINK" rule.

Morgana should always be dead last. In a game where the majority of characters are 1 dimensional and spew the same tired shit for 70-80 hours that thing is the worst. It whines harder then any other jrpg character and thinks its the shit.

>>387234743
How could you even rank Igor as a S.Link? It makes no sense.

>>387235304
He was technically the Fool confidant, so I guess 35 people just loved the twist.

>>387234710
As much as i agree overall i don't agree when it comes to Megaten games. Yeah you make choices but every protag has a canon personality that is also reflect in cutscenes.

Joker is clearly a cocky smug pervert based on the cutscenes with Ann/Makoto during the fireworks/pyramid driving scenes. His all out win is a shit eating grin.

Hitoshura from Nocturne is a battle gluttony.

>>387234710
Unlike p3 or 4 mc-kuns, joker has a personality tho

>>387235161
Except they don't, what you have upon game release is basic hints that people run with and then Atlus picks what they like and uses for more games.

So take P4, when it first released the protagonist has no established name, he has multiple personality options, the only hints you get of his character are things like Margaret calling him a heart breaker, and the fact he can date all the bitches and not get ballbusted for it.

You take that and you put it with the king's game and you get a chad, you get the anime and P4a and PQ responding to the chad memery, but the original game didn't paint him in anything except the lightest hints and touches.

This is especially true in P5, where they have given lots of "outspoken/assertive third options" in dialogues but they've lots of more neutral ones too. Over here people fucking love the christmas-cake eating little tit, and if that's true in Japan he'll get lots of supporting material that paints him as this hilariously confident cougar destroyer, but it might go different ways.

They're not cardboard cutouts, but they are so lightly designed so as to allow most idiots to do their pointless little "I must be every character I play or I can't enjoy this game" thing.

Do people do that in books or films? Do you have to insert yourself into every story?

>>387235424
>Hitoshura from Nocturne is a battle gluttony.
He also has things for teachers considering how a major chunk of the game is just you chasing after her and for some reason you gave enough of a fuck to visit her at the hospital at the start of the game.

>>387235069
I'm a sucker for characters with obvious fatal personality flaws who somehow manage to stick to their beliefs/habits until the very end when you and the whole world would expect him to change.
For me, it's purity in the face of adversity. Kinda like seeing a trusting girl being deceived time and time again still believing in others instead of turning evil.
I liked Snow in XIII too.

>>387235069
It's funny how the scene where Ryuji realizes how stupid he was for being obsessed with fame and glamour of being a PT was just a fucking phone call he gives one night during the Shido arc.

>tfw makoto is canon in the manga
>tfw she'll be canon in the anime
is this what aigisfags feel like?

>>387235715
Yeah, I think the general consensus is that the team spend a lot of time wrangling and clasping hands over extremely small issues like this. "Are we doing the right thing?" "Yes" "ok" is basically 50% of all phone conversations, when really up until Okamura the results are obviously extremely justified and positive, as well as fucking REQUIRED because of deadlines.

autistic girl with no friends with an inferiorety complex towards her succesful sister, all the adults in her life either take advantage of her (principle) or abuse her (sae).

In the PT she cones up with strategies on how to get into the palace and when inside how to get to the treasure. Youre free to not like her, but claiming the most developed female member of the PT has no personality is frankly plain retarded.

You didn't touch on her personality at all aside from "good girl" and followed up by pointed out things I said expressly don't count as "personality". She's dull and an archetype we've seen done infinitely better in literally all other Persona.

I don't even like Makoto, but saying "she has no personality" isn't a valid criticism of her, especially when you compare her to other Persona girls. Can you describe, say, Ann's personality in a way that makes her sound more complex? What about Yukiko?

Protag, most blatant waifu and JAPANESE REFERENCES won the Japan fan polls? I'm legit shocked.

Japan only likes the characters that are the most easily understood to themselves. Foreigner baits like Ryuji and Ann need not apply to the xenophobia.

Why is everyone hating on my boy Ryuji?

>>387244395
Yes it is.

>>387245020
Because it hurts harder when the character had potential.

>>387244925
>Ryuji
>Foreigner
What are you smoking? He just bleached his hair like most delinquents in Japan

>>387235538
All of the personality options form a consistent personality, though. For instance even when you don't pick the obviously sarcastic options for Joker, he's still essentially sassing everyone with 80% of his dialogue.
>Do people do that in books or films? Do you have to insert yourself into every story?
Yes you fucking idiot. This is such common knowledge that nobody cares.

>>387229121
>1. Joker
My great, handsome self insert.
>2. Makoto
Demure, intelligent, and polite.
>3. Yusuke
Very Japanese, and a prettyboy. Is also fairly polite.
>4. Futaba
Cute little sister that need protecting, also maybe some dick.
>5. Morgana
A cute cat mascot character. A bit rude.
>6. Haru
Who? At least she is pretty cute.
>7. Ann
Rude, loud, and way too much force of will. Should learn to be more reserved, like Makoto.
>8. Ryuji
The rudest character, stupid, and the loudest. 0/10, would hate to sit next to on my train commute .

Why the fuck is the anime industry lying about the Japanese culture?

>>387246003
For the same reason they usually fawn all over the delinquent chick even after the initial terror even though the Japanese loathe those kinds of people. You're watching a fucking anime.

Joker clearly has a personality, a story arc, he also has the coolest Persona and he's literally everywhere in the game, even in the menus.
If you don't like him you must have had an horrible time with the game

What's funny about this poll and this thread is that Makoto was overwhelmingly popular among /v/ in the first weeks after release and now she became so popular that this board turned against her, I guess contrarianism is stronger than being faithful to his waifu in the end

To answer OP's question i'd have to say that japs are indeed xenophobic bitches
Ryuji is japanese but his behavior and looks would make him a pariah in his culture
Ann is just a straight up white girl because shes a quarter white

50% of the fun parts of the game come from him solely.
Also he's a type of character we didn't see in the two previous Persona games. That sort of fabulous weird and genius clueless character who seems straight from a comedy manga or something

>Everyone including my friends hate Ryuji for picking on Morgana

To be fair, this plot was done better in Persona 3 between Junpei and Yukari. They didn't really stress WHY Ryuji was being such a dick and really stretched it out for a long ass time, but come on. Even after all of that, Morgana STILL trashes Ryuji all the time.

Airhead ditz who major character moments all revolve another character, Shiho.

>Ryuji
Moron character. Japan hates stupid people so these archtypes all poll low even if they're good people.

Basically Ryuji and Ann as well as any similar archtypes will always be low for polling. Japs are autismo about studying and learning. I think Ryuji in particular suffers because he's a real stand up guy in his right.

>>387249927
Morgana is just the little bitch who cried first. He picked all those fights.

Morgana is definitely the biggest piece of shit character.

Morgana is the WORST

Guy basically saved early game because if you take him out and left me with just Morgana and Ann until Yuskue I'd have never gotten to fucking Yuskue
