Finally someone who talks sense. You haven't played P3P right? If that were the case Junpei's s.link would've been on top

Welcome KakesuSora!
You've got balls man. I mean, sweeping everyone who likes Yukiko under the rug like that, especially when your favorite gal is exactly what you've described (minus the sass, but with 10 times the pandering).
Boring is subjective. Yukiko isn't exactly miss personality, but I like her. I like how she starts out as the Yamato Nadeshiko archetype (or in other words the pretty, smart and unapproachable popular chick that you knew at school), and your perspective on her slowly changes as you progress throughout the game. You get to see another side to that kind of character; the silly, sassy, spacey and spirited aspect of personality that more or less becomes the norm for her once you get fully acquainted with her.
I don't think it's quite right to say that the game reneges on subverting her initial character setup because never goes back to acting like she does at the beginning of P4. Once she fully integrates with the group, she stops being submissive, she almost always speaks her mind, and is more comfortable in being "herself" in front of people who aren't Chie, which is the conceit of the entire series. There's even subtle things like the fact that she and Yosuke exchange phone numbers post P4, which again, she would never do because she used to be overly reserved.
(and before anyone throws a fit, her response is to Junpei's misguided "girls can't be true friends" line)
So yeah, she's a fun character, and i'm totally on board with that. The laughing fits are admittedly pretty cringey, but her spirited approach towards everything is appreciated. It's not as overbearing as Teddie, but her genuine excitement over new things is legitimately refreshing, and wholly reminiscent of Elly from P1 (who is like the best character, ever). So what i'm trying to say is, yes there are reasons to like Yukiko outside of the fact that she's "pretty."

I agree with your post, PK. Well said.
Yukiko is far from the submissive one in the cast when the entire point of her social link is that she grows from that initial phase. And she does do that not just in her social link, but over the course of the main game too.

To be honest, you'd be stressed to find a megaten game that isn't cynical on the subject of people.

I like Yukiko because of her deep SP pool.
As a character she's fine I guess.

Also firmly in Camp Amagi. Stay losing, false prophets.
Well, I'm preparing to have my heart stolen, one way or the other.

School Days
4) favorite persona scene
Hm, hard to choose so I'll cheat and choose a few I'm fond of: Persona 3's ending, Persona 2 Eternal Punishment's (endgame spoiler)
and again from P2:EP (near endgame spoiler)
5) favorite persona
Scathach
6) favorite s.link

7) Do you still think that Persona 5 will come out in 2015? How many months after the Japanese release?

cast confronting their shadows at the end (Katsuya's instance was my favorite)
in Mt. Iwato, when Tatsuya finally reveals everything he's been hiding, Maya reassures him with a series of hugs. Thought that was pretty heartwarming.

Flux put something yesterday , Atlus in the badge puts Persona "is one of the most anticipated RPG in the world" that give me confidence , that give the hope they going to take this golden chance to "kick off" their game. I can see it giving good information to help one of these remaining playstation exclusive games of this year.
I hope Sony help Atlus with the marketing since they know that too...
Here with the release window and a english version of the PV 01 i am happy.
But they need to take chance to break out (more) from the niche status , make it notice. I hope they thinking that way and make a surprise today
Let's see what happens i am believer.

Agree with pretty much everything in this post. Will only add that I felt she kind of vanilla in her character originally, and think the things added post P4(including Golden) helped add a bit of charm to her. Her love of scary things was a neat addition, and her snark in PQ made her a god tier character.
Then again what do I know. Chie's my favorite character and her being bland is an almost universal complaint apparently.
This guy knows the deal , maybe no my favorite but this one i can hear it non-stop in repeat for hours seriously is so great.

The minute CL throws the first pitch at the Dodgers game on Wednesday night, that's my new avatar. I'm sick of this fucking Kanamin avatar.
That's why one shouldn't bet if they can't handle the loss. We had one sore loser here who opted out before his time was actually due.
Glad to hear it, heh.

Oh, I can handle it. I'm just saying I can't wait for the 25th to come.
Im actually fine with this one , i was expecting something worse ... seriously. But is kinda of funny.
I mean i dig Kanamin and everything.
Now you have to use that until 25th , i have to use this until the unknown release date of Dancing All Night in North America.
Is going to be a large ride until that happens.

This is the only place to show it off.
Ah.
Well, the optimist in me says that they wouldn't bother talking about "kicking off" P5 unless they were going to do something, so I guess I'll stay tuned. At the least it won't be as bad as the massive trolling that was Gamescom.
Do we know how long the presentation is lasting?

If the Blackhawks win and P5 is a no show, then this is going to be the most deflating day of my life
