Considering how dumb the casts of personas 4 and 5 are I wouldn't be surprised if they just gave up or went full retard when either Yu or Joker died. SMT demons make sense though they're just mercenaries.

How times have changed.

>boss oneshots your party member first turn
>have to wait 5 minutes until mc dies so you can restart

That's bad game design

>SMT1 +2 balances this out by having it game overs when human party members die
IV a shit

>>389673771
human members in IV die in a few hits and there's literally nothing you can do to prevent it, also there's 3 of them so they probably get KO'd and the rest of the samurais take care of them

Yeah, because they're just AI allies compared to characters who are pretty much leveling demons who can have equipment and use items

FF series
SMT series bar Persona 3 and beyond
Bravely series
Breath of Fire series
Come to think of it, it's more uncommon to see an RPG where you get a game over if the protag dies.

Yeah, i'd rather level up Walter alongside Flynn as an actual party member, would be much more fun and would allow some creativity with builds
