To join in the "who is the best girl in P4?" talk. I actually find it hard to have a favourite. I absolutely enjoyed waifuing every single one of them. I rushed on Yukiko first but everyone is just as great so it's hard to compare.
If anything, it took me months after finishing the game to finally give the edge to Chie, but it's by a very small margin. In an ideal Persona 4 world, I would have Yuu harem everyone.

Spoiler

Who am I kidding, Chie ftw.

 

[Zareka]

Yukiko is canon. Fuck you dissenters.

This man speaks the truth!

 

[Aquamarine]

I guess all persona threads turn into a waifu (is that the correct word, meh) war.

 

[Chance Hale]

I know you're joking about fictional characters, but that attitude / behavior is really gross, manipulative, and predatory... And not really funny.

In the real world you don't fall in love with people you've just met (unless you're a creep) so this is what often happens on both sides.

 

[Dead Prince]

What I want is some guy on guy love link.

 

[Guess Who]

No way the chains on the website represent characters. Including the MCs, Persona 3 had nine party members and Persona 4 had seven. Five characters is too few.

 

[Soma]

lol damn it took over 1200 posts before the waifu wars this time

 

[LumpOfCole]

Will this be a thing?

 

[Afrocious]

I would say, Yukiko and Rise are both canon (at least, by default the writing leans more towards them). I know there is no actual canon. But having played the game 3 times, I've always felt that the writing favored these two with Yu more then the others.

I felt the same way too, except for Rise, she came across as forceful whereas Protag and Yukiko often found themselves alone in the story and they did react to each other in certain ways beyond the player controls.

Considering I liked Yukiko the most, I was fine with this.

What's wrong with 5?

 

[Chance Hale]

I hope they bring back Persona 3's social link system. Being able to blow off friends and have 20 girlfriends without consequence was pretty silly in Persona 4.

 

[Bunta]

Remote play, man. Remote play.

Yeah, I had forgotten about that.

Atlus is our waifu and we are all in one, big, happy polygamous relationship with her.

Yup I second this

I can only talk about the prettiness of the "MC" for so long.

Kinda looks like Lucifer to me

...I don't see it.

We're slipping.

 

[El_Fenomeno]

Yukiko is canon. Fuck you dissenters.

I got that vibe as well in new game+. I'm also one who believe Chie & Yosuke deserved each other(Kanji and Naoto as well.)

Note: Personally chose Yukiko because she reminded me of my wife when we first met in high school xD

it's just going down two again

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Fuck yes. Awesome news.

PS3 is close to being dead for me as well with this news.

sega-kun~

 

[Guess Who]

Aside from just generally being a small cast for a Persona game, if we're assuming a gameplay system similar to P3/P4, it doesn't allow for much skill or party diversity (four-person parties mean only one member ever left out).

 

[Supermanisdead]

needs to bring back the physical attribute sub-categories too. physical was OP as hell in persona 4.

 

[Mentok]

SO HAPPY to hear this!! This game + Bloodborne = a very happy 2015 for me gaming.

I went chie first, then naoto.

I realize I was steal-yo-girl senpai for my first two plays of P4.

But Yosuke x Kanji is OTP.

 

[jello44]

Correction, Rise was the best girl. And then the Persona 5 protag came along.

*snrk*

Probably because Most people always used the first 3 members they met in their party.

Chie, Yukiko and Yoskue and Junpei, Yukari, Akihiko were always able to clear the game for me.

 

[pixxxelz]

...I don't see it.

He's the only demon I know who have wings like that and is also blue

Spoiler

OK that's wishfull thinking but he does look like him tho

I only used like 4 characters in P4 anyway. It's not that far-fetched.

 

[sjay1994]

But Yosuke x Kanji is OTP.

So bummed Troy Baker isn't Kanji anymore.

Apparently he is a union actor now so Atlus had to get Matt Mercer to be Kanji for Arena, Q and probably the golden animation and DAN as well.

Your Johnny Bravo/Kaz avatar fits you perfectly lol

 

[Afrocious]

I was one of those guys who only beat bosses in P4 with the four senpai.

Kanji, Teddie, and Naoto? They were there to clear the extra bosses in the dungeons. The four senpai did the work while the other three were the cleanup crew.

I didn't care how all three of them were objectively better than Chie. I didn't get far enough in Golden, so I don't know if it's still like that with her.

 

[Supermanisdead]

yosuke x saki konishi.

Spoiler

yes, thats exactly what i mean.

 

[Fandangox]

What I want is some guy on guy love link.

You can

Spoiler

sort of

get that in Persona

Spoiler

2.

 

[Odie_Esty]

I've played an awful lot of Persona 4 and I never thought Yukiko's S link was more romantic than the others. I guess compared to Chie but much to my chagrin Chie always feels more like a friend than an SO but I thought Noato felt really natural, but with my homes Kanji calling dibs she's off the table. Frankly, with all the S links I've gone through, there's only one true love interest.

Spoiler

Marie.

 

[Mononoke]

Wow I didn't know this. That sucks! So that means he won't be back when Persona 4 Golden Animation is dubbed? Also, had no idea about Persona Q. Booooo.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Give me a Noriko social link dammit.

 

[ohlawd]

Wow I didn't know this. That sucks! So that means he won't be back when Persona 4 Golden Animation is dubbed? Also, had no idea about Persona Q. Booooo.

it's not really a problem

Matthew Mercer's got range. He can sound like Troy Baker and someone else anytime he wants.

 

[galvenize]

This.

Stop throwing Chie with a bloody secondary character.

Spoiler

No hard feelings Yosuke

Haven't heard it yet, so I'll take your word for it. But damn, I loved the Dub version of Kanji. Was perfection.

Mercer does a great job of imitating Baker. It's kinda become his job lol.

I didn't even noticed the chance in the second part of the anime

Wait whaaaaaaaat. I'm fucking bummed.

Yep. The game seemed intent on pairing Yosuke and Chie early on. Kanji and Naoto too of course, later in the game. Felt wrong to go against the will of the universe and steal them away.

I think Yukiko or Rise align best with the story. The game leans a little more towards Rise being the canon love interest (anime cutscenes and such show MC paired with her more often, esp in the added winter stuff in P4G), but Yukiko interactions seemed the most natural and fitting imo. And despite what people say, I like her character and weird sense of humor a lot lol

So yeah, #teamyukiko

 

[Gbraga]

Oh, we're doing waifu wars now? Let's take the next logical step then, starting with the truth:

Old Chie > New Chie.

EDIT: It would be cool to get a gay MC, since someone mentioned that. Not sure how that could impact sales though.

 

[sjay1994]

Wow I didn't know this. That sucks! So that means he won't be back when Persona 4 Golden Animation is dubbed? Also, had no idea about Persona Q. Booooo.

Probably. He only voiced Kanji for the first half of the original P4 Animation. Mercer replaced him in the second half.

Damn it. I want Troy Baker to be my best bro again in ideal Japanese High School

 

[Supermanisdead]

This.

chie otp is akihiko anyways. i need them to cameo as a detective and his young rookie partner in p5.

Is arena chie the same as golden chie? I hated golden chie's VA but Arena Chie is the best voice she's ever had.

 

[-Horizon-]

Its just that the middle body...thing is really bulky. Who knows, you could be right and its a redesign.

So bummed Troy Baker isn't Kanji anymore.

That's sad he won't be back but Mercer does a great job with the role

Spoiler

based on what I heard in the first P4 Animation when he took over for Baker

 

[Teddified]

Nice, was hoping this was going to happen.

 

[Afrocious]

Yukiko > Old Chie > everyone sans new chie and rise > new Chie > Rise

 

[sjay1994]

I know that's your opinion and all but

New Chie > Old Chie
