Err...why? I don't think they'll drop the current cast in the future Arena games.

I think that about Marie but people hate her...
That's because you're wrong.
It was still awful, though. Like, they could've gone about it in a better way. I also think his character was sort of too busy. Like, split personalities, plus embedded plume of dusk, plus connection to both casts, plus friends with big bad, plus bonus card at end of game.
I dunno, I just don't think they handled Sho well at all.

Please Dantis, you like her designs deep down.
Sho can only connect with other people through fighting them. At least, that's what Ultimax makes me believe.

I agree that they didn't handle him well and some stuff about his background felt a bit forced but I don't think he was nearly as bad as people say. Maybe they can do right by the character in the future but if he's confined to the arena games then I don't think that will happen.
i mean her design is fine with me, it's just her character that ultimately sucks. It amazes me that Q she was kind of likeable but utterly pointless.
I mean, I liked Minazuki, and I think they had some okay ideas for Sho, but he still feels like an over-edgy, over-complicated character. I mean, Labrys comes across as hamfisted but Sho feels like he was designed by a focus group.

What did she do in Q? Was it the same as Golden, where she manages skill cards?
Not even that, she manages street pass stuff. (Even though she really doesn't since it's just menu)
She had her moments in the story that were funny and fit better due to her not being an additional thought for Q.

I'm interested, what do you not like about Labrys?

Nevermore is a DLC song? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yooooooooooooooooooooou.
I don't particularly care about them churning out costumes as DLC, but songs is annoying. Especially that song, which is probably my favourite one in P4.
Do we even know how many tracks this is going to have?

I think it's a special mix of it, actually. It's also listed on the regular track list on the P4D site.
Ehhh, I think you're reading too much into that scene. It's just standard anime ending fluff.
I'm sure he'll come back, but there's no way he'll be the main character. The Arena games have a tendency to introduce new characters, so i'm positive 3rd game will primarily be about a new character. Plus, I want them to tread over new ground. Sho's old news
"Oh, so you're a part of the Shadow Ops? Nice, how long have you been there?"
"A month."
"Cool. So... what's your ranking? Are you still a rookie?"
"I'm the leader now."
"How is that even possible?"
"And i'm marrying Mitsuru."
"How is THAT even possible."

The P4 version of Never More is included with the game. The P4G version of Never More, that plays (P4G)
after the epilogue
MITSURU IS A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN WHO DON'T NEED NO MAN

You can tell it's the P4G version because of the epilogue design shown.

Crisis averted.
It's a marriage in name only. A political move basically. In reality, both Yu and Mitsuru are in a relationship with
Yosuke and Yukari respectively

No, but Akihiko sure needs her.

Is it okay to ship? Or does the fact that Akihiko has the mind of a child hold that back?

I think he was made to be portrayed as a bratty kid who thought he was being "so badass" by
wanting to destroy the world (even though the true reason was because he knows no other way to "connect" with people). He seemed the opposite of Labrys, in some regards. Like, what if Labrys didn't care? What if she wasn't able to get a control over her emotions, and instead let hatred consume her, like Sho did? In fact, both Labrys and Sho went through tons of abuse.
I want to know what about her you didn't like, and who is your favorite (gonna guess Zen and Rei)? I actually haven't beaten PQ yet, so spoiler tag anything if that's true.
It already seems obvious that they go together so well, i wouldn't see it as "shipping" if it's entirely possible they'll get together.

Motherfucker needs an intervention bad.
The thing is, Labrys did have flashes of apathy and despair. The fact that they were flashes made them tolerable.

Yeah, i could see where you're coming from. But it made it much easier to appreciate him after learning his past. And Labrys's few outbursts made it easier to feel empathy for her.
Has anyone done fan art of the Persona 4 cast in "ridiculous-future" type outfits like the P3 cast had in P4A?
Yu would absolutely be some kind of fighting butler or a fashion model. Bonus: he does more origami on the side and uses them as his projectiles. Chie would probably just be dressed as The Bride from Kill Bill.
Unrelated, but I'm slowly realizing that Atlus is totally going to keep bringing back Yu as the Jotaro of this series. He's just going to keep showing up and steal everyone else's thunder.

I would think that people have made some type of fan-art of them in Feathermen outfits by now
Akihiko got really dumb between P3 and the Arena duology. And kind of an asshole.
"C'mon Akihiko go to class. We're paying for your schooling."
"Fuck you. I'm going drinking."

As someone who doesn't drink, is mixing with protein powder ever considered a good idea?
I would think mixing any drink with protein powder would be kind of disgusting. o_o
Also Labrys is bestest character.

I think she's redundant the exists solely to rip off the character arcs of P3 and P4 in an attempt to mix them and ends up doing every part of it worse than the things she's knocking off. Ugly design and she has an annoying voice.
I haven't played PQ or the story of Ultimax yet, which is why I was worried that Labrys seems to still be the favorite. Not a fan.
I've thought about it but I'm not super keen on Arena's designs for really anything so I think maybe I wouldn't be the best choice.
Arena Akihiko is an idiot that doesn't deserve Caesar anymore. Should have reverted back to tiny hands Polydeuces. Then I might believe the pants on head level of stupid he displays.

Akihiko reverts back to his old End of P3 Answer self in Arena Ultimax for the most part then goes off the rails in PQ again

Although i can see what you mean by her arc going into Aigis' and P4 casts' story arcs, she also DOES have a side of her arc that is different.
Aigis never goes through the "torture" like Labrys did. Labrys gained her emotions during them, Aigis did afterwards, AND with the help of others and her "friends". Not only that, but Labrys had to deal with going through her emotions all alone (with little help from #024). And then being forced to kill her "sisters", including Unit #024.
I do agree, she does have the same arc in P4A as the P4 cast members, and she does fall under Aigis' story arc of "android with emotions and wants to be like humans", but it's presented in a different way, even it is similar.
PQ Akihiko is one of my least favorite PQ renditions of the casts

I just uncovered some rare fan art of Kanji, where he seems to be just wearing seaweed and a massive chair on his back.

Yup.
Hey, Akihiko reverts back to his old P3 self too near the final dungeon of the P3 side of PQ.
They're more like brother and sister than something you'd ship, though

On the topic of how the characters are treated in the spinoffs, one of the lines that Pepsiman highlighted from Kanami's trailer caught my eye.
I'm not sure I want to know how spinoff!Chie is going to react to Kanami...

Woah there! Hold up a second.... annoying voice?! Just who da heck do you think you are talking 'bout Labrys's voice like that? It's like ya askin for trouble...
I find her voice and accent to be the most endearing part of her character, English or Japanese. I don't think the story mode would have been half as effective without it.
