>MC always encounters the person who will be the end boss, at the start of the game
Doesn't the kid in 3 not come until like halfway in
Anthony Parker
3 doesn't do that.
But it basically rips off Evangelion near the end anyway.
David Carter
Is it not the journey that matters?
Andrew Ortiz
Sure, let's just ignore 1 and 2.
Jace Harris
I don't remember most of those in Persona 1 and 2.
Charles Thompson
Ryuji is at the half way point, kiddie him is at the start.
Jacob Martin
Isn't the kid who gives you the contract the baddie.
Gavin Cox
literally who
Juan Thompson
>Igor portrayed as a smart and clever man in all the games he shows up in, acting as a guide for the MC >Suddenly he's a bitch in 5
ruined
Eli Cook
the gas station guy wasn't part of the plot in p4 initially, was he?
Kevin Hernandez
>>is a nobody/outcast that nobody likes
Im sorry I couldn't hear you over the sound of being one of the most successful and influential people on the planet
Grayson Bell
>this is the actual state of persona now SOCIAL LINKSSSS were a mistake.
William Morris
Why isn't Igor anyone's husbando?
Michael Rivera
Nyx is the baddie, he just summons him
And 1 and 2 completely contradict this.
Nathan Collins
>minion/aspect of philemon gets fucked over by aspect of nyarly sounds about right actually
Thomas Thomas
Nose is too big. Also he isn't real, he's your imaginary friend. Nyx is his fault then, he's the real bad guy. Why didn't they just shoot him.
Logan Johnson
>And 1 and 2 completely contradict this.
Most of them. You do meet the final boss at the start of 1 though.
Christian Adams
This is now a Persona 1/2 thread! Who is the most handsome, talented Persona character, and why is it Eikichi Mishina?
Liam Lee
>is a nobody/outcast that nobody likes
Eat shit King Moron.
Kayden Morris
That's the bad ending.
Aaron Sanchez
Nah you meet mamma's boy's half brother pretty early in 1 Or Maki depending on how you look at it I guess
Jackson Wright
>nb4 someone posts a picture of his ultimate persona and calls it crap Eikichi did blue hair best.
Daniel Collins
>Why didn't they just shoot him but you can
Angel James
I'm happy this image exists
Eli Baker
>>is a nobody/outcast that nobody likes Boy with Earring was pretty popular I thought >>slowly gets to know a group of friends within a year P1 takes place over a fairly short period of time >>they all get powers that they can use in certain situations (in one particular after midnight, in the TV, in an alternate reality opened up by a phone app) Deva Engine shenanigans doesn't quite fit in my opinion but I can see somone spinning it for your argument >>there will always be a token animal/robot/nonhuman playable character The closest P1 has is the Maki TWEEST or Brown. >>after defeating the big bad boss, the group is disbanded/no longer have access to their powers, but they remain friends forever. Haven't played P2 so idk
Dylan Edwards
>dyes his hair every day at school and washes it out before he goes home, same for all his fashion >can pants anyone easily, boss of Cuss High >his dad who knows 18 forms of martial artists >has a banging hot girlfriend >rumor says he's getting Tatsuya Suou to perform for his band
Matthew James
>Haven't played P2 so idk
They all still have their Personas and occasionally help kick ass.
Eli Allen
Man P2 cast had it rough, even when they're works of fiction no one remembers them.
Charles Hernandez
t. never finished the game
Jaxson Watson
Igor is a bitch in P5 bro.
Kayden Jackson
But you finished the game right?
Carson Martin
>after defeating the big bad boss, the group is disbanded/no longer have access to their powers, but they remain friends forever.
True to the first part, not the second
Connor Wood
Yeah.
Zachary Wilson
Then you know that you're not talking to Igor for the majority of the game then, right?
Charles Harris
>Persona series started with P3: The Post
Landon Cooper
>>is a nobody/outcast that nobody likes tatusya, retard
Joseph Watson
Ryoji is the kid with the prison PJ's that tell you to sign your name at the start of the game
Jaxon Evans
I know what I said.
Jeremiah Thomas
...
Oliver Phillips
it makes sense for no one to like or care about you at the start of the game you spend the game upping attributes like charm and people like you more
Brayden Sanders
To be fair 3,4,5 are detached from the first 3, and it's not like you can do a formula for 1, IS and EP outside of "Nyarlathotep is revealed to be behind everything"
Jack Butler
Persona didn't start with 3, and Nyarly's meme magic won't make it so.
Jayden Perez
>doing Tatsuya's dungeon >get to the end >decision point >"My heart belongs to Eikichi!" >party laughs it off >locked out of all romance
IS is the cruelest Persona.
Eli Morgan
He was Demiurge's buttslut for 99% of the game he's a bitch bro
Ayden Allen
Does Eikichi laugh it off too? That's 2 cruel.
Lucas Morgan
>dressing androgynously with stupid hair and makeup is a rough street-punk type thing to do This feels dated in a good way
Robert Campbell
>made morgana >didn't make morgana female Real spoilers here. This is why Igor is a bitch.
Cooper Nguyen
fuck your irrelevant games no one cares
Jaxon Bennett
Yaldy is literally poor man's Nyar though
>wah wah don't talk about games I don't like
Lincoln Allen
IS was an old game user. They were both allowed and capable at the time of making it good.
Alexander Flores
>To be fair 3,4,5 are detached from the first 3 Canonically they take place in the same universe as EP and P3's TV confirms that
Brandon Gomez
No you described P3 onwards. AKA: baby's first JRPG
Colton Russell
>irrelevant games We're trying to not talk about Persona 3 and after.
Benjamin Howard
Well yeah. IS may as well just not exist.
Noah Peterson
I mean their formula. There's no more butterfly mask dude, Nyarly who you just know to be behind everything ready to asspul twist out of his ass, and a cast that actually stays relevant until throughout the game
Levi Rogers
things that dont happen in 1 and 2. in 3 they didnt disband and they still have access to their powers.
Henry Cook
I still think Innocent Sin followed by Eternal Punishment is cool as fuck for a naming convention maybe I'm just a big ol dweeb though
Jordan Williams
Nyarly and Philemon will never be back user. We have to let go, they got too btfo.
Daniel Turner
>they still have access to their powers Does it even count with an evoker?
Aiden Rodriguez
They always used an evoker. So yeah, it fucking counts.
Jeremiah King
Fuuka didn't need it. And neither did any of the older casts. How can they keep what most of them didn't really have in the first place?
Isaac Sanchez
Why is Lavenza the butterfly anyways? Is Phil just dead now?
Connor Lopez
They can apparently summon without an Evoker if they concentrate hard enough. Hell, Fuuka's so goddamn powerful she can summon her persona in the real world without using any external influence.
Juan Long
Well you can meet Kandori before going to hospital but most people miss that little event. So it'd be 3 dungeons into the SEBEC route before you see Kandori.
Jayden Wood
>games of a series are serial
WOW
it's alright when japan does it!
Wyatt Long
Also yes I realized I had a brain fart but technically he can be the final boss if you some how managed to get the bad ending.
Jonathan Lewis
Well and it also fits the theme of the games which are written as a duology from the get go
Adam Rogers
Regardless my point is op is wrong
Robert Martinez
>why is it Eikichi Mishina?
That's a weird way of spelling Katsuya "I love cats, my brother, and making pies" Suou.
Daniel Jenkins
No, it's a really sensible way of spelling "Eikichi 'Michel' Mishina"
Caleb Bennett
I wonder if Tatsuya is on the computer again.
Elijah Lewis
I feel bad that Eikichi didn't get a rehash version of himself in P5. Me too.
Robert Bell
>"Eikichi 'Michel' Mishina"
Ryder Carter
>is a nobody/outcast that nobody likes That's definitely not true of 3 or 4
