I don't mean to start a war but whose worse? Adachi or Nanako? Or how Atlus handled Marie?
For the longest time, I thought Nanako was annoying until a certain HUGE scene happened. Don't really get the love for Adachi and Marie? Lmao just what exactly is going on with her????
I thought Nanako was annoying too but I got used. Adachi was pretty okay for me, but I can't stand his popularity in Japan. It always baffles me because he isn't that great and cabbage jokes aren't funny. And Marie, well, she grew on me after three games. I like her now and her poems are hilarious in Persona Q.

I thought Nanako was generally really well liked. You're definitely in the minority if you thought she was annoying, anyway.
Marie's SL in P4G was pretty terrible, but I didn't mind her that much. Then I watched P4GA, now I can't stand her. She's gotten a pretty polarising reception, anyway. I think the western consensus is that she sucks, but she has a decent following in Japan. She did get a little better in PQ, since making her character into a big joke was actually very fitting for once.
As for Adachi, I thought he was a very interesting character in vanilla P4. He was pretty fresh back then, since they hadn't really done anything like him before in Persona. Like every other character though, he's worn out his welcome by now imo and his "character thing" has long since worn thin. The additional exploration he got in P4G and P4GA was pretty great, though. It's almost like they remembered how to write convincing characters for a bit.
I just wrote up a paragraph on *that* character without using spoiler tags. I live dangerously.

Atlus' handling of Marie is easily the worst of the three. They got better with her in Q and DAN but by then the damage was done.
Also, you're in a small minority of players who ever found Nanako annoying. Hell, she's frequently used as an example of a child character that ISN'T annoying in a video game.
Wow, I thought Marie was pretty well liked. I always found her funny and unique. She was constantly irrational but that clearly stemmed from the fact that she was "different" from the others. Also found her poems interesting.
Tbh, I find everything in Persona 4 Golden absolutely brilliant. The only thing I probably disliked was lack of dungeon variety.

She's not that bad in P4G, but her SL is trash. Way too many times is it nothing but "you take Marie over there and suddenly everyone else appears, fade to black". P4GA was nothing but that, plus Marie acting like Shadow the Hedgehog over her amnesia all the time. The ideas behind her aren't bad, but the execution was terrible.
Persona Q plays up the emo Hot Topic teenager who writes awful and embarrassing poetry that she's really proud of angle over everything else, and she was a much better character as a result. Kind of the opposite to what they've been doing to Chie and Akihiko.

I don't think that's about Ryuji's role as much as Morgana just mentioning him in general. At least, that's what my limited Japanese + Google Translate tells me. Morgana's Japanese is rrrreeeeaaaalllllllllllly slangy so it's kind of almost impossible for me to understand them clearly, though.
Yeah, I know Atlus can write good child characters. Anybody remember the kid social link who had parental issues in Persona 3? She was adorable. But Nanako? I thought she was annoying and a eyesore until a particular BIG scene and I grew to like the character.
But Adachi?! How is he popular... AT ALL?
And Marie... Just what was Atlus thinking... Great character design but literally everything else is garbage.
why do people like villains? Adachi happens to be a pretty effective one, something the series kinda lacks, as well as a good foil for the protagonist. He's kind of an irredeemable psychopath so I'm not sure they really meant for him to blow up like that. But, like they often shouldn't, Atlus rolled with it.
Adachi is also kinda different in that (P4 spoilers obviously)
you're supposed to trust him and find him endearing and/or quirky for most of the game. He seems like kind of a loser, "accidentally" leaks you info when your hot uncle is all about shutting you down... he kind of acts like he could be a future party member if you didn't know any better. His true character being revealed betrays what you've thought of him up until that point, assuming you weren't suspicious of him already. He's kind of a similar character to Izaya from Durarara!!, who happens to also be pretty massively popular.

Come on MC, Rise invites you to her house and you decline (on 01/01)? Come on dude, why'd you do that? Lol
(I'm 16 myself so I was kinda looking forward to some fanservice at least, heh)
I got the choices and whatnot right, Marie is maxed... I just need to do some stuff on March 20th and clear Marie's dungeon to get the Golden Ending, right?
Is there anyone on Youtube who recorded all the romantic events (Christmas etc.) in P4G?

You're locked into doing Marie's dungeon, so there's nothing for you to worry about there. There's some specific stuff you have to do at the end of the game to get the true and golden endings, but I'm assuming you're aware of that?
Here's all the Christmas events. (edit: it's missing Ai but oh well) It's P4 vanilla, but I don't think they added any in P4G. And you get to hear the
superior
OG Chie and Teddie voices! The New Year's and Valentines events are floating around the you tubes as well.
When you look at some of the original designs they make him look super creepy & much more obviously a suspect. They definitely 'plained' up his design deliberately.

Oh I know that his plainess is deliberate. I just don't see the appeal of a character that has neither a favorable personality nor especially good looks. Adachi works wonderfully in P4 and is a great character in the context of that game, but the extent to what some parts of the fandom idealize him is absolutely creepy.

Oh well, got a bit too cocky with the above tags. I'll probably forget about those names before I get to play P1&P2 though (assuming the first two names were from those games in the "all series spoilers" post...). My fault.
Loving P4G
Winter is so beautiful man. It's back to the cheerful P4G again. Can't wait for the ski trip! Wonder what the justification for the Marie dungeon is?
Are Golden Ending and True Ending wildly different? AFAIK, Golden Ending includes some scenes afterwards, that being the difference. Not sure though.
The Snowy Inaba theme fucked my shit right up, saddens me so much yet it's so heartwarming ;-;

Don't worry about the spoilers too much. I only spoiler tagged it because others were mentioning a certain someone else under spoiler tags too.
There are essentially two versions of the Good ending, and of the True ending. One version is the original version from P4, the other is the the newer version for Persona 4 Golden that happens if you cleared Marie's dungeon. Some new scenes are added, and you get an epilogue after the ending if you got the True ending as well.

You figure out that Adachi is the murderer, but do not tell anyone, and either do not burn the evidence, or select anything that does not lead to the evidence burning.

What's this stuff about evidence burning and protecting Adachi? I just thought of Adachi at Aiya's (where not picking him gets you an ending) and that led to everything from him fleeing into the TV to defeating Ameno-sagiri. I don't think I came across any choice that could lead to me protecting him at all. Is there a video/LP anywhere that shows where those options appear? I'm VERY sure I never came across anything related to defending Adachi.
Yeah.... The fanservice stuff definitely took a hit in Persona 4 and I'm almost positive its because of "feedback" of how the MC in Persona 3 was a Harem King. If you played Persona 3 a certain way then you was truly a Harem King. The little fanservice stuff in Persona 4 doesn't really stack up to the huge fanservice in Persona 3. It's sad, though but there isn't even an attractive woman in Persona 4, in my opinion.

The option only shows up if Adachi's social link is as far as possible as it can go at the time when you chose who the murderer is. You'll be given the option to tell the others about Adachi (leading onward in the game to the good ending) or not. If you chose not to tell anyone about Adachi after selecting him as the murderer, you'll be given the option to confront him directly at the end of the game. If you select the correct options and burn the evidence, you get the Accomplice Ending. If you chose any other options that do not lead to the evidence burning, then you get another variation of the Neutral Ending. If Adachi's social link isn't as far as it can go by this point, then the game never offers the option.

There's actually a bit more you missed. Specifically, if you chose to head onto the Good/True ending, there's an optional sequence that can happen prior to Magatsu Inaba where his social link will change from Jester to Hunger. There's also additional dialogue pieces later on where his social link continues to rank up. Regardless if you select the accomplice ending (where it's Jester) or continue onto the good/true ending (where it becomes Hunger) it will eventually max out.

You... do realize how inane this is to say on a forum where there's a prevalence of woman right? Just curious.
Um, I think that's a little unfair of you tbh. Just because there are women on this site doesn't mean he has to find the girls in the game attractive. Matter of fact, I don't even think that opinion has anything to do with anybody who posts on this forum.

I've been in a Persona hibernation mode since the delay announcement, licking my wounds, but finally tomorrow I can think again that I'll play Persona 5 this year. Maybe in less than 6 months.
