We should do an art trade some day.
She's a better character than say... Naoto. Who's job is basically just to tell you everything you already know.
Doubt it. Such an unimportant part of his character.
Indeed. I also was hoping P4AU would start with Yu at his old school.
And there's nothing inherently wrong with giving a blank slate character a set of parents. SMT1 and Soul Hackers did this!
Honestly, I liked that we didn't really see most of their parents in the game.
No because then my insane belief that he's half-American will be blown out of the water and we can't have that.
I suppose. Made me feel better about it when I played P2:IS and that was all about the cast's dads. It fit P3 'cause they're all orphans. In P1, the world's fucked so it's not like their parents would factor in. In P4, though, it's more like they're just omitted. It works, but I also don't think the presence of the cast's parents would necessarily be a hindrance. Then again, it could overcomplicate the plot in a way that they didn't find unnecessary.

My characters in P3 and P4 have American-ish first names with Japanese last names. In P4 it was "Nick Honda" and in P3 it's "Ed Miyahon."
Because my knowledge of Japanese names begins and ends with Punch-Out and NES game credits.
And car manufacturers, can't forget those.

No, that was from Punch-Out, actually.
Yu Barney for ultimate lols. Makoto Frost and Clara Tokiwa. Fred Yoshiwara in P1.
ALL my protagonists have a Japanese and a Western name.

Honest, I was this close to naming the P3 protagonist "Ten Ten."
In retrospect, glad I didn't, because I actually really liked the moment in Mitsuru's S.Link where she starts calling you by your first name. I think I would have missed that completely.
And honestly, outside of the doofy early couple of S.Link scenes with Mitsuru (you know, with the ramen and the cheeseburger and whatever), I don't really understand why some people think it was a bad S.Link. I thought it was honestly one of the better ones. It's nice to see her doing things unrelated to the plot, to see some other side of her. Makes me wish there was an Akihiko S.Link in FES, because that guy's flat as a board.
Only a couple days left in January. I think I've been prolonging it by spending too much time in Tartarus because I don't really want it to end. I've been playing it for too long. But I guess I have the Answer to do still.
I knew that
But a solid third of my Japanese words are from car manufacturer names.
Don' t tell me Hyundai is Korean
Also don' t tell me that I don' t know how to spell.

You may call me Rippo-sama

I do the same thing. It just feels weird using an English name for clearly Japanese characters.

The source for this sure was an interesting read.

I really enjoyed Mitsuru's, yeah. It was nice to see her loosen up over the course of it.
And Akihiko's SLink in P3P is pretty good. He's sort of a dork, though, haha. Like Shinjiro turns out to be a sweet-heart who wants to cook for you, Theo is like, 900% the sexiest man in Persona (I'm sorry Yu), and Akihiko looks like he's some badass but he's a lot less smooth than Theo or Shinji.
Ken is like "You like comic books? BUT YOU A GIRL. AND A GROWN UP. AND YOU MAKE MY PANTS FEEL FUNNY."
The greatest of all was the moment Junpei fucking friendzoned me, though. God damn you Junpei. You know you want this, no matter
how fucked up you are after Chidori dies.

Well, that's the beauty of blank slates--they're only as Japanese as anyone decides them to be.
Nick Honda, see, maybe his parents are one half Japanese, the other American.
Poor Ed Miyahon is just a victim of unfortunate naming.
Yep.
During my playthrough I stopped several times and wondered if Junpei wasn't the most attractive option by virtue of being completely unobtainable.
I wish they'd given him
the option of being the last voice you hear in the game. Junpei breaking down at that moment would've ruined me.

I tend to use the Japanese spelling of my first name Zachary (Zakari) and then add some Japanese last name to it.
Like Zakari Kaneda or something similar.
Though on the second playthrough, I do something a bit more goofy just for fun....
Does make for some good laughs when they refer to him as Ryebread-chan.

This improves both character designs.
The coat does make Akihiko look more like a boxer. Though I try to pretend the P3 characters' designs from Arena don't exist.

Hey hey, Featherman Yukari and Little League Coach Junpei are awesome. (this does not count as me waking up yet, randomly woke up to get a drink, NEXT TIME I wake up, when the sun is actually out,is the deadline for Labrys Week! Thus starts Yosuke Week, aka Not a Disappointment Week!)
YES! MORE PERSONAGAF ART!
Does anyone here visit any other Community Threads? I was thinking last night, it would be interesting to know how similar they are to ours in terms of 'things made', and honestly, just the general atmosphere of the thread.
i hate u dantis-kun
Well, I mean yours is a much better pose, which obviously made it harder to draw.
Your Labrys is good! You should finish it. ;_;
Thank you! And it is finished.
I kind of like the idea of spending fifteen minutes on a picture and then being done with it. It's very different from what I normally do.
I'd be down for something like that, sure.

Sounds kinda cool. Hopefully the characters aren't total garbage.
I hope it doesn't disappoint, its my most anticipated upcoming game now that inFamous is out.

That really it? Some of the title really blends into the background. Strikes me as odd.
