Minato clearly has depression and a form of dissociation which you can see when he summons orpheus without a second thought and why he can't remember seeing Aigis and Death. He doesn't mean to seem so aloof, but having your parents murdered by the emobidemnt of death right in front of you fucks you up. Yu has had friends(assuming) but his parents professions have made him not able to stay in one spot for long and fucked up his ability to socialize. So when he goes to Inaba, a town full of fucking weirdos, he becomes the toast of the town and unlike Minato, has the social capacity to take advantage of his situation.
I've heard that the protagionist's characters are all fairly quiet for different reasons. Minato for instance, is just a depressed introvert, and given the kid saw his parents burn to death, had an alien horror forced into him by a robot, and then had to deal with the Dark Hour every day for ten years, seeing water turn to blood and every human turn into a coffin, it makes sense that he's screwed in the head. Narukami, on the other hand, much like Jotaro, doesn't really talk much because he genuinely doesn't know people can't read him as well as he can read them. Then there's Joker in Persona 5, who is the type who keep his cards to his chest, never letting people know how much he's thinking or what he's thinking about.
Philemon isn't Satan, and he doesn't really intervene or tell you to do anything concrete. The cast does it on their own to get to the bottom of the mystery.
i agree complete with pat for once. its such bullshit you cant or wont date a girl/boy just because you know someone else likes him/her. its not "stealing" if he/she doesnt try to make a move for like 6 months straight . im glad i picked mitsuru and naoto
I wish I never accidentally spoiled Persona 4 moments to myself, I if could, I would retain all I know about the first half of the game and wipe everything I knew about the last half, the same would go for Persona 3, god, out of all the games I wish I never got spoiled on, those are the two that I can't get over, I can still play the game but I won't have the constant wonder and the fun constant guessing of whats to come, if I played the games all the way by myself then I wouldn't want to wipe my memory at all, but because I spoiled it to myself...GOD I wish I could tell myself back in Junior High to not even look on the internet for anything persona related when I was playing Persona 3 and to tell myself to stop watching P4 streams and to actually go and buy the game to play for myself :(
2:20 Ya know, I never caught that "Ziodyne" reference until just now. Only recently started playing the version of P4G on Steam and I don't recall even questioning what Woolie said there when I first listened to this segment years ago.
I remember listening to this back when the podcast came out and thinking eh I'll never play this Japanese crap. Having played 3 and 4 this year i can now geek out listening to this.
Holy shit that's completely true, Yu absolutely is the most sensible choice to be the killer for 90% of Persona 4 that's hilarious. Also of course Minato is too perfect, he's literally Jesus.
I have a weird dilemma when it comes to P4 Waifu Wars. If I am choosing as Yu Narukami I am on the Rise easy mode train. But I too would feel bad about Kanji but then I realized that if my friends did a cosplay of P4 I would be Kanji and feel less guilty Being with naoto-chan and solving mysteries. maybe a more mature kanji who does not change his hair OMFG WTF ATLAS GIVE US BACK KANJI'S PUNK HAIR FUCK YOU TRUE ENDING!!!!! Also if we are in PQ universe damnit Atlas pay OG VA her money.
Its not that were shitting on Kanji's Development, its just that what Kanji turned into from aesthetic view is just generic nerdy high school asian. His Blonde slicked back hair and coat cape are Key iconography for him. If they put Kanji in the background of Persona 5 you wouldnt notice him unless he was significantly larger than other kids. Some change is good, like for example Yukikos switch from Red Clothes to Light Blue Clothes and the Bun is excellent, others dont, and one of those others is Kanji. Kanji is the only person in the game that has a Change in Hair Color and its jarring and distracting.
Only two people died and like the first dies before you arrived right? Can't remember. And the second only dies after you get there. Sure you are suspicious, but no one would really think you are the culprit. And I actually like how P3 protagonist seemed like he was faking his social link interactions. It sold the having different mask for different people concept which no other protagonist has ever been able to replicate. P5 protagonist just treats it like this is for power but I won't act fake. P4 just seemed to go with the flow and making friends. And I like Yukari. And all p3 social links. P4 I can't remember any non party members ones except that step mom one.
Adachi's number in New Game Plus *DOES* do something, actually: Act as a permanent reminder that at some point in time, either because you didn't know better or you simply "wished to see what would happen", you betrayed your friends, family, and everything you stood (and fought) for to save ONE person you knew was guilty. That's what it's there for: To remind you of your failure.

My man! Good observation
I've heard that the protagionist's characters are all fairly quiet for different reasons.

@@GSSAGE7ah yes, I relate to both those latter ones heavily
"The most boring Social Link in 4 is probably Temperance."
AND THEN PERSONA 5 MADE IT THE BEST ONE
REALLY MAKES YOU THINK (even tho Tae is the greatest)
In Persona 2 Satan sends you on a mission to kill Hitler.
+CrimsonRedHeat9 I need to play P2
innocent sin or eternal punishment
Philemon isn't Satan, and he doesn't really intervene or tell you to do anything concrete. The cast does it on their own to get to the bottom of the mystery.
In case you guys don't know, Liam thinks Naoto is best waifu.
Because Naoto IS best waifu
I half expected him to stick with his devil's advocate gimmick and say Marie.
*Liam KNOWS
kanji is best waifu
No one disagrees
i agree complete with pat for once. its such bullshit you cant or wont date a girl/boy just because you know someone else likes him/her. its not "stealing" if he/she doesnt try to make a move for like 6 months straight . im glad i picked mitsuru and naoto
I'm currently playing Persona 3 Portable as the FemC, and there is nothing that saddens me more than the fact that I can't get Junpei's D.
LittleMountain90 Yeah but that makes sense storywise
And yet he says rise is best girl and if you say she isn’t he’ll shit
Having finally finished P3 and P4 myself, I can now comfortably listen to this.
Same, had this one on Watch later for years
I wish I never accidentally spoiled Persona 4 moments to myself, I if could, I would retain all I know about the first half of the game and wipe everything I knew about the last half, the same would go for Persona 3, god, out of all the games I wish I never got spoiled on, those are the two that I can't get over, I can still play the game but I won't have the constant wonder and the fun constant guessing of whats to come, if I played the games all the way by myself then I wouldn't want to wipe my memory at all, but because I spoiled it to myself...GOD I wish I could tell myself back in Junior High to not even look on the internet for anything persona related when I was playing Persona 3 and to tell myself to stop watching P4 streams and to actually go and buy the game to play for myself :(
Just waiting for the P5 spoilercast
Me too Snowmen, Me too...
Well it’s here now
I skipped this section of the Friendcast because I wanted to clear P4 before listening to this. Seven years later, here I am. P.S. Mitsuru and Yukiko.
Oh shit that Hierophant thing Pat was talking about at 18:12 is super relevant to P5
Woolie has my respect on this!!!
No stealing!!!
2:20 Ya know, I never caught that "Ziodyne" reference until just now. Only recently started playing the version of P4G on Steam and I don't recall even questioning what Woolie said there when I first listened to this segment years ago.
I'll be honest, I actually liked Fuuka (mostly after her social link) but yeah her battle voice damages her
Ahh... the enemy!
Sorry to disappoint all of you but Elizabeth is clearly the best girl
My choosing for Yukari and Yukiko starts with how they look visually
A man of culture
I remember listening to this back when the podcast came out and thinking eh I'll never play this Japanese crap. Having played 3 and 4 this year i can now geek out listening to this.
Rise is love rise is life
Mitsuru solos all the P3 and P4 waifus
Mayumi The Titty Monster Not Elizabeth though. Or *pffft* Marie.
She’s not even in 4
Yuko is best girl because her personality is somber and realistic.
Woolie's got my vote. Good man.
Holy shit that's completely true, Yu absolutely is the most sensible choice to be the killer for 90% of Persona 4 that's hilarious. Also of course Minato is too perfect, he's literally Jesus.

Also if we are in PQ universe damnit Atlas pay OG VA her money.
"give back kanji his punk hair"
because fuck character development and wanting to put the past behind you right
+crazygamer4260 punk never dies, man

Rise ftw!
I come back here every few months to rehype myself for P5.
still a little sad there's no actual date event with Margaret...
this was really hard to re-find
Chrono Trigger is another game where that happens. You beat Magus and then there's like 30 more hours of game :D
when you found out SMT was as big as Marvel and DC combined together
Amazing how this comes up even if sbfc isn’t in the title
pat wrong again! The melevolent entity is NOT nyarlotothep
Chihiro is best girl
5:41 "fuck minato"
as usual everyone missed that
Wait, what?! I fucking KNEW IT!!
Romance girl,
the only use for gourmet king is only good for sandalphon
that p:q pic tho
yeah i thought ameno sagiri was the last boss but nooo
P4 was so good
Only two people died and like the first dies before you arrived right? Can't remember. And the second only dies after you get there. Sure you are suspicious, but no one would really think you are the culprit.
And I actually like how P3 protagonist seemed like he was faking his social link interactions. It sold the having different mask for different people concept which no other protagonist has ever been able to replicate. P5 protagonist just treats it like this is for power but I won't act fake. P4 just seemed to go with the flow and making friends.
And I like Yukari. And all p3 social links. P4 I can't remember any non party members ones except that step mom one.
Does anyone know when a P5 spoilercast will happen? Hearing Pat and woolie nerd out/philosophize about Persona gives me life
looked up "margaret rape persona 4" didnt get anything
Why does Woolie always have a reason to be wrong?
I disagree yosukes ultimate has that healing wind that also speeds you up
What podcast is this... or is there a podcast version of this?
Friendscast 54, it's titled the Personacast
Wow,
i assume woolie didnt play golden...
sucks they dont even mention shitty marie more
Adachi's number in New Game Plus *DOES* do something, actually: Act as a permanent reminder that at some point in time, either because you didn't know better or you simply "wished to see what would happen", you betrayed your friends, family, and everything you stood (and fought) for to save ONE person you knew was guilty.

Is Pat wrong again when he says God is dead? And by God does he mean YHVH? I can't find anything about God being dead in the persona series.
try SMT
Battle for Everyone's Souls isn't that great.
