Be aware there are apparently some spoilers in the trailer for people who haven't played Persona 3

This hurts twice as much since I'm just going through the FemC route for the first time. She's great! (ಡ‸ಡ)

Sorry homie :,)

But have fun! Kotone/FemC is great, I played her as my new game+ when I first played P3P, and it honestly made NG+ less of a chore because of how different her personality is compared to Makoto/MC. And her social links are great too (except....you know...)

The "dual protag" experience of Persona 2 and 3 is honestly so underappreciated imo. But Altus won't do it anymore. I'm not bitter about this at all :clown emoji:

That's exactly what I'm doing as well. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Ken romance optional? Granted, it might be easy to fall into but still.

Still need to go through P1 & 2, for now they're just taunting me whenever I look through my game library...

Yes the Ken romance is optional, you can max it without romancing him. But I think most of the playebase is usually disturbed at the fact that dating the 10 year old orphan is an option at all. I've spoke with a few Japanese fans about it, and while they're more mild about the criticism, apparently it was still a bit "wtf" to some of them too.

But in the later games YOU get to be the adolescent dating an adult, so...uh...yay? I joke to my friends that Kenji from Persona 3 directed Persona 4 and 5.

It could also be Ken or the original MC considering his hermit social link. Man does Persona love their age-difference tag.

Listen, Makoto didn't know who he was playing his little video game with ok?? He's just really, really dumb! Plausible deniability!

I mean... I love ~~Ms. Toriyumi~~ Maya so there's no need to defend him. Besides, everyone is a dog on the internet after all.
