FAQ.1. "What is this account?".This is a gimmick account dedicated to the writings of the Megami Tensei series. A sort of Out of Context account focused more on its writing 2-3 times a day with art retweets in-between, the occasional narrative discussion, and the even rarer meme.

Ryuji is a fascinating example of cultural differences influencing character treatment. He scores the lowest in Japanese popularity polls, but is one of the most loved and celebrated party members in the West. I can't help but think about it whenever he's the butt of most jokes.

It's been some time and I want to talk about Persona 3 Portable, specifically the characterization of Kotone and how I interpret her as a protagonist with general Portable thoughts. A lot of this is off the cuff and beware of spoilers for Persona 3, Portable, and oddly P5 Tactica

Revisiting this to say, while I've always known Yu was on the weirder end of Persona protags, the Internet's frequent use of him as what the youths call a "Chad" and character in P4 Arena and Ultimax I think soured him on me.

Now that enough time has passed on this tweet:.P5 = P4 = P3. Each of these titles do some things better and worse than one another. None are "better" than the other and everyone's favorites comes down to how much they resonated with the cast, narrative, and gameplay.

Because Kotone is not a gender-swap MC; she's her own character with her own journey. She deserves her spot in Reload alongside Makoto so others can relate to her and engage with Persona 3 in a much more intimate and personal way. Like so many already have.

Both characters are aloof and distant from life, Makoto more closed off and apathetic. Kotone meanwhile uses her positivity to hide a similar emptiness; it gets her through the day and people like having her around, but she doesn't have any genuinely real connection to people.

So, with the Spotlight. Atlus is re-releasing a game, on multiple platforms, with an entirely new route, the original game still on the same disc, and can just choose which story to playthrough at the start?. That doesn't sound like Atlus.

I honestly have clue what to think of this. I'm not even sure what game it is. Is this an alternate reality Persona 5? Another semi-sequel? What are the possible gacha game elements? Is this just P5 on phones? Will it be localized? I feel like there's so much and so little here.

DLC demons is one thing and has been a common practice of ATLUS' since SMT IV. But, even if I'm not a massive fan of the demon, putting Mara of all creatures behind a paywall is the strangest move I've seen the company do in a while.

I guess an apt metaphor would be she's the person who you meet and can genuinely make people laugh only to go home and be comfortable staring at a wall. It's through her becoming the Leader of SEES and learning about that responsibility that changes her mentality.

To me, what makes her journey through P3 still work despite her different (and new) characterization. Instead of being a gender-swap of the original story, she's her own distinct person from Makoto in the same situation, still growing connected to life through new circumstances.

@m3110w2 @PiniRosa2 Strangely, I think Yosuke is actually quite popular among Japanese P4 fans. It really just comes down to Ryuji being informal for a majority of his screentime, a big taboo for that culture.

In Kotone's route, it's through connecting with the team does he fight back against that fate, making memories while he still can and growing uncertain about his original mentality. And it's through his S. Link does he hold on to that life.

It took me a lot of time for me to solidify who Kotone was in my head. It wasn't until I got to career orientation and knew their answers were different that her and her journey solidified itself.

With that being said, these are the best Kotnoe exclusive S. Links. Saori is genuinely one of the best Links in the series and getting to learn more about Ryoji and Shinji, paired with some great writing, made me a fan of them and actually got me tearing up.

I don't want to dog pile on this person even more than the rest of the fandom has. I'll just say, if you're only playing Persona for the dating and life sim aspects, you're still missing out on a lot of what makes those games and the rest of Megaten special.

In Makoto's route, Shinji is a sort of reflection to him. Both have resigned themselves to death and are comfortable with that mentality. They've made peace with their lack of connection but still step up when they're needed, finding something to live and die for.

And now I know why people want Kotone in Reload. Not just because they are fans of her, but because she is otherwise trapped in a game that, while accessible, was severely limited by the hardware it released on. A remake was the perfect opportunity to bring her back.

I still think it's great. I'm glad the early hype and wave of anger have subsided to the point we can criticize the game, its narrative, and combat mechanics while still praising the music, the voice acting, and stellar presentation in the same breath.
You guys remember the first 2 months this game was out and everyone was raving about how great it was?

What's a shame about the 3DS store closing is that those who want to play SMT IV legitimately are unable to access the DLC. And I truly believe it is a loss because of how integral it is to understanding the universe of IV and helped me reconcile some of my narrative misgivings.

3. You can't see the full turn order. One of the key components of FES' strategizing was planning things ahead and you were able to see the full turn order to do so. It made adapting to the fight much more fun and engaging. Reload only shows the next turn.

I do like the distinction between both of their S. Links, though. It's interesting Makoto decides to look beyond the group to form connections while Kotone looks more insular. It's a difference between, "I see these people every day," and, "Well these guys are right here.".

@StellaNoxEclair With the flashbacks, it mostly works and adds to the whole thief angle, like watching a heist movie and the characters reveal their circuitous methods on how they pulled it off. Other times, there's this, the "We're evil" dialogue after Ren's assassination, a lot in December, etc.
