Sorry if I offended you, what I meant was that compared to everyone else she isn't the most in depth character in Persona 4 aside form Yu (silent protagonist).

I give it ten more minutes and TheTrueSelf will be a long with a significantly detailed post about why you're wrong. >.>;
Okay, literally nothing was a bit hyperbolic. But when "her mom is overworked" is the only specific example given, it really isn't too far off.
You're right though, it's likely none of them have very interesting stories. I wish they had given more insight into Rise's past.
Daggum it Pharos, quit creeping on FeMC. QUIT IT.
Well tbh I can't even remember ever seeing Yukiko's dad, so you don't know MUCH about her family, but there's more than "lit. nothin'." Not much more, you're right, but still more than Chie's "my folks want a new TV!"
MFW I REALIZE THE MATH TEACHER IS A WOMAN HALF-WAY THROUGH THE GAME.

Do you ever feel like a bird trapped in a cage?
Koro you narc, you can't be ratting out bros like Shinji just cuz you want to score with the robot girl. C'mon, man. I know you're all "She's the only one here who really understands me!" but repeat after me, Koro: "Bros before Robos."
EDIT: OH GOD MITSURU YOU KNOW THERE IS A CAMERA IN YOUR ROOM AND IKUTSUKI AND ANYONE CAN WATCH WHAT IT RECORDS YOU CAN'T BE LAX IN THIS ROOM GIRL.

This is a bit of what I meant.
Sure the past isn't there, but you do learn something, albeit very little, about their families.
OH MY GOD, YOU TOO?
I mean her name is Ms. Miyahara, but I never noticed because her afro / buck teeth distracted me.
We're terrible people.
The fact that, old lady and Kashiwagi aside, she's the first woman in the game to not be hilariously gorgeous made me assume she was a dude.
EDIT: DAMMIT Yukari I like Tulips don't make fun of me!
I remember some noteable actions of Yosuke's father throughout the game (including nighttime hang-out sessions). I remember one specifically where Yosuke questioned his father's judgement on advertising with some new promotion. I felt as though I got at least a vague idea of what his father was like through all of it.
I don't want them to focus on families, but I do wish they existed beyond more than a concept. I feel like it was a deliberate decision to not include them, as doing so would undermine a character's maturity, but I think I'd be okay with that. Kanji's mother is the only one with any real presence, and her role in the game is to undermine perceptions of Kanji.
I think the families could still be present, just to a very small extent.
I still haven't seen any of the night conversations, so this is pretty interesting to me.
I would like to hear of this depth, because I do not believe there is any.

Been readin' some Anna Karenina lately, have we?
That's too bad?
Anyway this here October boss is utter bullshit. "OH HERE PLS ENJOY BEING ENRAGED AND NOW MINUS 200 HP AHAHAHA."
Fuck whoever designed this fight.
I don't get how people keep confusing Yukiko for Yukari. The last three letters are different, guys.
Since all of the Arcana bosses had seemed so hilariously easy up to that point, I didn't even bother saving before that one.
I got some really, really, really bad luck.
I had to restart from my save from right after I beat Hermit.

You didn't save for an entire month? I save every day!
Seriously? Did you just spend your time studying 24/7 or something?
Some of the conversations are pretty amazing.
I never had any spare time on any of my playthroughs. On this current one I'm trying to get the book trophy, so again, no time. Not to mention the various night time S Links.

Man Yukari is leagues above Yukiko in just about everything except her obnoxious laugh, and theirs no denying it.
I'm always open minded. I think that as long as something services the theme, it belongs in the story. Just do it well.
I enjoyed the P4 "issues" since they were actually a little less dramatic, and therefore a tad more relatable. P3's all made sense with the core themes of that game, and I'm sure that if I had situations like any of theirs, it would have resonated a little more.

I thought the October boss was pretty easy when I played the game haha. I forgot how that roulette wheel works but I'm pretty sure I never had anything negative happen to me.
Now that I've looked it up and practiced a bit, it isn't so bad. But man, that first go against the boss leveled me.
EDIT:
P3P October 4th
Ken is literally Hope Estheim. I can't decide if this ONLY makes FF13 look worse, or if it reflects terribly on P3 as well.
Sure, I agree with this. I could empathize with a lot of characters in P4, but pretty much none in P3.

I reeeeeeeelly empathized with Junpei in P3, as well as Kanji and Naoki (retroactively) in P4. Other than them, most characters were very different from me.

If anyone ever asks, Ken included, regardless of whether or not I'm cynical jackass Makoto or kind and energetic Clara, I WISH KEN HAD DIED INSTEAD OF SHINJIRO.
Oh, you want to discuss what to do with Ken, Mitsuru? Well how about we LYNCH THE LITTLE FUCKER, HUH? OR MAYBE DRAW AND QUARTER THE SHIT? NO? WHY DON'T WE FLAY THIS SICK BASTARD ALIVE AND MAKE HIM EAT HIS FUCKING SKIN. You're a mobster, aren't you, Mitsuru? CEMENT SHOES WILL DO NICE FOR HIM.
Namatame? Namatame WHO. Here's a little bastard I would kill AND NEVER THINK TWICE ABOUT EVER.

It was during the summer and all I was doing was working two days a week. The rest of my days were spent playing Persona 3 virtually all day until I beat it. Despite having as much free time as I did, I also didn't want to waste any of it waiting for the save menu stuff to read/write! So I did that whole month in a day, then lost that entire day, then re-did it a few days later.
Edit @ Corvo: It begins. IT BEGINS.
Shadow Jesus gets his villain powers from the Wal-Mart bargain bin for villain products.

Main character
You can actually save him in FeMC's route. Although you won't be able to use him anymore.
Do I need to max his SLink?
Yes, then do the post S-Link event.
This is going to be a seriously close call.
EDIT: Nevermind I don't think I can actually make this happen. I'm only rank 7, I have 3 days left, and tonight he's not up for it. :/

Haha holy shit >.>
I think that's optional
You're right. It is.
Nope.
It doesn't really impact the story in a significant way, honestly.
