She looks like one of those people who shops at Hot Topic.

This was intended. She is supposed to look like a fish out of water. Mission accomplished?
I don't think she looks like a fish out of water so much as she looks just flat out silly.

She had it right

The only thing I dislike is the dog collar. The striped thigh highs make up for it though
I like chokers but they don't really make sense on her.

I didn't care for the half assed Velvet Room attire. It looked so weird on her I was thinking just give her an entirely new outfit to match Margret's.

I think you're right, I might have forgot about that line.
People say stuff like this out Yosuke, Marie, and most recently Eikichi. Just because it's intended doesn't mean it's good
She has the outfit at the start of the game (sans hat and bag) before she ends up in the Velvet Room, so I don't think so.

Wait a minute, I meant the hat and bag that clashes with her overall outfit.
I remember seeing her for the first time thinking well she sticks out like a sore thumb.

Her hat is definitely the worst part, but red all over clashes with the velvet room in a big way.

Pretty sure I pointed this out like a year ago and you said "NUH UH DANTIS SOEJIMA FANBOY OMG UR DUMB".
Pretty sure that's an exact quote, too.
Intended or not, still sucks ass.
P2 IS
Finished up the Zodiac club part, Eikichi is fucking awesome. I thought the stuff between him and his old sweetheart was kinda heartbreaking. She was so embarrassed and he was so worried about her
But really these high schoolers are fucking crazy. The amount those dudes beat Eikichi is insaaaaaaaaane. And then that shitlord fucking cuts him up with a damn knife?????? These kids need to chill out.
I really like all of the characters so far actually and I'm loving the ties to P1. Think it's a pretty big mistake to not pay that game before this one. Maya is still fairly one dimensional but hey I'm pretty confident that she'll get a lot more development as the game goes on
So how are you enjoying IS so far? It looks like you're enjoying the narrative.
PS: Please tell me you
let Eikichi fight the boss on his own!
I like her design.
Garbage character though, my goodness. Combine Marie's design and Labrys' character and you actually have an alright character (Albeit still in a shit scenario in either case).

You mean I may have to resort to...*gulp*...fan translation?!
Edit: Persona 5's cast should compose of famous philosophers from different fields. Sarte and Plato on a team together, imagine the greatness!
Positive thinking is overrated. Lets all be logical!
No, just no. They're total opposites in personality and Marie's design wouldn't work for Labrys's personality.

Camus and Aurelius or GTFO.
Bentham would be the navigator because he's too busy fulfilling his desires to fight. Plus he could analyze enemies using his Hedonistic Calculus!
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Without having read the previous page, I assume we're shit-talking Marie.
Your joke is not funny. Rethink your material. You're suppose to make the audience laugh, not mock you.

I think I get what Hashino was saying in December's Dengeki.
For those who don't know what he said, he said that there is a "hint" in the chairs and chains.
I seem to have figured it out.
At 0:31 of this trailer it says "You are a slave. Want emancipation?" The four chairs are chained, but the fifth one is not. Then a sound plays, and the screen flashes, to show a chain on the fifth chair. That, in my opinion, is saying that the viewer/player of the trailer is the slave, and you will get emancipation once the game is released and you can play it. It makes a lot more sense if you read Hashino's interview in Persona Magazine Re:Birth.

He hates Marie's personality but likes her design. He likes Labrys's personality, but hate her design. He's saying put Marie's design with Labrys's personality and maybe he'd actually like it. I think that was the purpose of his "joke".
I know he's joking, but Labrys and Marie have totally different personalities so his joke was bad.
Marie is an indecisive and rude individual with a weary heart, and her outfit sadly reflects her awful personality. Where as Labrys is a straight-to-the-point, no-nonsense, strong willed individual, so Marie's outfit wouldn't work for her at all.

I don't really get Marie hate. There are lots of worse S. Links in both 3 and 4, e.g. Ebihara's. I never got the impression her poetry was supposed to be good - I mean, Margaret was leaving them out because they were shitty and wanted to embarrass Marie by showing them to Narukami, right?

You did not just say Ai's social link is worse than Marie's.
I don't even like Ai or her social link yet I wouldn't put it as low as Marie's....
1. Ai's social link isn't bad.
2. Marie actually changes the plot of the game somewhat and is forced into story scenes where she honestly doesn't really belong. Same can't be said for shitty s.links like Nozomi and Kenji.

p4 spoilers:
Marie's presence completely changes Izanami from a surprise final encounter to an inevitable enemy and adds the whole Sagiri business, making the whole thing seem like Izanami manipulated everything, where as she was completely hands off in P4.
It seems to be the main theme for P5. Liberation - or freedom - from the discontent of daily life.
At least, Hashino sure made it seem that way in the interview

SOCIAL LINK REVERSED
Yeah, I was not happy with changes to the late/end-game in P4G. I actually really liked the way a player could absolutely just miss the true ending in the original game.
Sure, but Marie's social link is still not well done.
I think it suffers in part from being added into the game and in part from the fact that unlike the other SLinks in the game, you don't learn anything about Marie until after her SLink is over. On the whole I think Marie could've been much better if they'd gone an extra mile on making her less obviously forced into the game.
Marie's social link sucks
but what you learn about her afterwords is pretty good at least.
It honestly probably shouldn't have been a social link. Rather, perhaps best integrate her into the story directly. Maybe even as a party member.

Okay, I really have to ask as I feel I need to understand it more before I move on to my next Shadow--what the heck was
?
