I also kind of think his Social Link is the most boring/poorly written in the game. It's kind of all over the place.
Is he talking about Stallone or Dan?
Lol you too?

Yukiko is pretty chill. Chie's a bit try-hard, and Naoto and Rise can fuck right off.

Yeah he's an asshole to everyone, I still like him and I really like that Atlus just decided to make a character who's just an asshole teenager and I think they do a good job with his character but Kanji is where the true BFF action is at.

Interac?
?????????????
oh yeah, if you wanna make a case for him being a well-written character, i'm right there with you
like you said, they pretty much nailed the teenager assholery
i doubt this was the angle persona fans were coming from for that poll, though
crazy fucking talk

if there's one thing I've learned in all my time playing games and watching anime and following idols, it's that japan and the west almost never agree on their favorite characters or members.
I mean, Yosuke is basically the "cool guy" you see in any high school based j-drama, so I can't be surprised that a character that fits a popular trope is popular.

Seriously, yukiko is written like she's constantly on weed.
Meanwhile rise is written like she's constantly on MDMA.

The popularity of Lightning (Final Fantasy) in Japan is something that will forever baffle me.
fans like her for her design only, imo. i've never heard a Lightning fan say they like her for her personality lol

Yukiko is the kind of girl that peaks in high school and then the rest of her life is a string of depressing pregnancies and broken dreams. She'll spend the majority of her life attempting to live vicariously through her six children who want nothing to do with her.
That is really confusing, yeah.
Lightning is one of those characters that really needs the Red Letter Media character test run over them of "describe this character without talking about their appearance or listing their actions".
Because having played all three of those games, I'm coming up pretty short.
lol jesus christ

Lightning was literally voted the best female FF character of all time
they also voted Zack (FFVII) the best male FF character so who knows what the fuck they're thinking

The popularity probably just comes down to the forced BFF stuff, Junpei always does poorly in these polls which is likely because he's the opposite of Yosuke in that he doesn't really like you for a while.

or maybe because Junpei sucks

Yukiko's Social Link is depressing as shit in that regard. Before she's even 18 she's basically accepted that she's going to have to spend the rest of her life running a hotel in bumfuck nowhere because family. Most people don't get chewed up and spat out by the world like that until they're in their 30s.

Junpei is a wayyy better character than yosuke with better character development than half the p4 cast.

All this animu talk is making me dizzy
Junpei has an arc, yeah.
Yosuke is a weird mish mash of survivor's guilt and wanting to recreate that carpark scene in Fight Club.

shitty, unfunny, unappealing tsundere
character design is cute though
yeah but turning from a dud of a character into one with pathos 2/3 of the way into the game doesn't really do it for me
she's a cutie and i like her

Nope, best character in P3 and he's better than most of the P4 cast.
Yukari is also better than most of the P4 cast.

Just about Kanji - yeah, a lot there to criticise, but I do like how he is often assertive during the investigation, whether it be
or
questioning young detective regarding Namatame
during Naoto's confrontation with her other self.

Hey, I'm not talking who's the better waifu. Just talking about character writing here.
>_>

On a serious note though junpei has depth man. He's not just your generic-trust-you-immediately best friend. You have to earn his trust but once you do he's got your back.

Yukari fits both and that's why she's the best.
What the hell are you guys talking about in here!
Soon we'll be discussing our Waluigi slashfiction.
Oh nice, I was gonna go for them but I started filling out the application and then found out the deadline was the next day and there is no way to fill out that application with everything in less than 24 hours, how are you finding it? Did they put you in the middle of nowhere?

The best night of Yukiko's life was when she slept with some kid from the city who was also fucking her best friend, a genius detective prodigy, a popstar, a delinquent girl, a drama queen, and a little girl with a trombone. If she thought about it at all, she'd realize he didn't actually care about her and was simply addicted to sex. If she thought about it on a deeper level, she'd realize she would most likely be at the bottom of that list. And that would break her because her entire conception of love was built on that one night.
man, poor yukiko
i take it she's an angsty teenager? seems like she's quite effectively written judging from the general reception
agreed on the design

well, she was alright during the main game but after learning who she really was in the Golden Epilogue, i liked her in the end.
It's always tickled me that in a game fundamentally about facing hard truths, this dude blows into town and has more tail than Miles Prower, and everybody politely declines to address that fact and continue on as usual (maybe it's different in Golden).

Pretty much yeah, she's not great but she could of been worse, her poetry however is the worst. People seem to dislike her more now after that recent Golden anime but she's ok in the game.
