I find that her leadership skills and ability to stay calm and rational make up for her lack of personality. One scene in particular that me and my old roommate thought were cool was when the first shadow starts attacking the dorm and she immediately pulls out her evoker and takes command of the situation.
I can't agree with this enough, Sempai.
I think Mitsuru's character makes complete sense and works really well. She comes from a serious family with a pretty dark past and heaps a load of responsibility on herself. Therefore she's cold and calculating. You never know where she stands. But over time she melts that away a little bit and you see what makes her tick and how she came to act the way she does. I think she's one of the stronger characters.
Akihiko is the one that isn't really strong, in my opinion.

Yup, that's how I feel as well.. I also disliking the fact she supposed to be reliable but seemed throw all the responsibility to the MC. If the MC have more dialogue that show his leadership, her presence can be a lot worse. Lucky we are only playing silent protag.
Her VA terrible acting at "that moment" also not helping me to like her.
How exactly does Dojima digress?
Yeah, his character pretty much boils down to "getting stronger without dealing with the consequences of life" and his arc deals with... not doing that. Plotwise, he kind of falls of the wayside when
Shinji dies.
IIRC, his social link as all about getting over his past and spending more time with his family, only for him to constantly ditch Nanako several times afterward and the whole
I'm going to take you to jail and leave her by herself
held me in jail all night
Is she going to be on the next podcast?
^That is awesome, thank you!
Hey look what I found:

Hey look what I found:
Is there some equivalent of Rule34 for pony art? Because there should be.
Actually, I would argue that that's not the case. Adachi points out that Dojima only did imprisoned because he was worried about Y(o)u. From our universal god perspective he comes across as a roadblock who's just impeding our progress, but from a real-life perspective he's a parental figure doing everything in his power to protect his nephew (who's clearly embroiled in something big if he's getting threat letters). He had no reason to believe that
Nanako was in danger, so Y(o)u was his one and only priority.
Later, he trusts you enough to go off and
save Nanako
kidnapper is a potential killer.
So I wouldn't say that his development from his S.link doesn't apply to the main story. The immense trust he has for Y(o)u has clearly carried over.
Yup!
Making a questions post right now.
Like I said a few days ago, if people are interested in joining that one--There's a spot skill (potentially) open.
Yeah I'd argue that a lot of what goes on in the S.Links isn't immediately applicable to the plot. Especially when characters confide in you with certain(private) information.
I would like even just subtle little things though. Like characters are just warmer/friendlier the better you get to know them. Say you first met a character, they're distant--then you max a social link, then from that point on in the game they react to you differently.

You can find Sonic crossover art the same way.
I understand what you're saying, however is just feels odd that his first reaction would be
to take you straight to questioning. Maybe a personal talk at home, but not straight to holding.
I would but I've never been on one.
It's not just Dojima though. Kanji comes to terms with hinmself in his social link, but is constantly trying to prove he's a manly man throughout the story. Most of this stuff would take a lot of work to fix, but still. It could kinda be like in P3 where the party social links deal with different issues other than the ones directly related to the plot.
This is seriously how I read that the first time.
Mitsuru is okay. She didn't come across as a goober like half of P3's cast, which is a huge point in her favor. She's not interesting but she's not offensive either.
I'm not even sure how to feel about it. It's harmless, I guess? I kinda think that it's no different to any other crossover art.
Yeah, it's only when it starts getting fetishy or sexualized when I start to get creeped out. But that's true of most fanart, not just crossover, so...

I am of the opinion that Mitsuru as a character does nothing but improve in P4 Arena.
And I feel that she stays exactly the same between P3 and P4A. Other than her new obsession with Catwoman.
I am of the opinion that WARGARBLE.
Hey so here's the questions post for the upcoming Michelle interview. If any of you know of a good place to share it, please do! I'd greatly appreciate it.
Stil haven't heard back from Lotus Juice--But he hasn't even seen the post yet according to Facebook.
Question: People want Persona 2 VO's on as I've heard a number of times--is there any particular VO any of you want to hear from?

Levito for president.
The thing about P2's VOs is that they probably wouldn't remember it. Each character only has a handful of lines of dialogue. It's mostly unvoiced.
I'd vote for the Rock with a woman's haircut.
To which I say HURBLEBURP.
I'm with Dantis on the P2 idea. They probably wouldn't even remember the game.
Only if The Rock is rocking a Geisha Wig.
I know it's probably IMPOSSIBLE, but I would love to see Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, and Yuri Lowenthal on there eventually. There would probably be a waiting list for people who want to cohost though.
Also, if you ever get Tara Platt on, I want on the show. Dat Elizabeth voice....
Guys--The Rock is already president.
Yeah I know--As I said Sam Riegel didn't even remember like.. Anything about Teddie and that was only last year. However people have still expressed interest in it.

OK I am doing research aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.
Amanda Winn-Lee was Ulala in P2 and Yukiko in P4
Dave Whittenberg was Katsuya in P2 aaaaaaaaaaaand Teddie in P4
But yeah, I highly doubt they'd remember anything about the recording for a game that came out about 14 years ago and may have had like, 3 lines, lol.
Heh, I was about to say basically the same thing. Your best bet for P2 would probably be just using that as a connection for some cool VAs. And Troy did do Kanji. But yeah, they're all probably really busy.
I sent an email to Yuri before and he never responded
Troy Baker and Laura Bailey would be amazing--and yes haha there's a waiting list already for those. Erin told us that they're both incredibly busy though. (Also I believe Scrafty asked Laura and never heard anything back)
Hmm Tara Platt was Mitsuru and Liz, good call! I'll see if I can contact her via email.

Yeah I can see Troy and Laura being very busy, they seem to be in a lot of games now lol. And if by some chance a Tara Platt episode does happen I'm sure it'll be a good listen
LOL, dude. Yuri as in Lowenthall.
^That is awesome, thank you!
Hey look what I found:
I would judge you, but I have a Miku plushie in my car and named my dog after her. So whelp.
Damn, I'm tired. I thought you typed Yurizan for some reason.
Also, Tara and Yuri double feature episode? AWESOME.
Probably not happening though.
Makoto X Elizabeth is now officially canon
Makoto X Elizabeth is now officially canon
How have I never made this connection before...
Same can be said for Makoto and Mitsuru though.

Oh, I made it immediately.
Still better than ponies.
Actually they both did that Persona Podcast show, Erin said Yuri would love to do it. It's entirely possible my message got buried or caught in a spam filter or something.
Oh god you thought I was a Brony?
