    the actual worst s-link is reporter lady

    her ability is fairly useless, and the link itself is not great

    I agree, it's too bad though since she was one of the characters i liked the most.

    Reporter lady's S-link being useless is balanced out by getting +3 Charm every time you talk to her.

    Mishima wasn't too bad. It was a pretty obvious redemption arc.
    I'm just more annoyed that Joker and company are so bad at keeping secrets.
    The whole *wink* *wink* I'm going to use the obvious fanboy as an intermediary to select missions sounds like a terrible fucking idea.
    No Mishima, I really have no idea what you're talking about.
    Oh goddamn it Joker.

    Moon arc suffers the same as some of the party members suffer, where the character growth in their S.Link isn't reflected in the main story writing.

    Speaking of maxing out social links, am I the only one who thinks all the level 10 evolved personas look MUCH less cooler than the regular ones?

    Anne and Makoto's in particular. I almost don't want to max out any other party members...

    Haru's is literally the worst. Futaba's is pretty okay, though.

    I haven't liked any evolved Persona more than the original since 3 to be honest.

    edit: I mostly like Ryuji, Ann, Morgana, and Yusuke's, but they're not as good as the originals.

    Yeah, that's not really all that creepy. There's no implication he's going to force the maids to do anything, just that he's heard "they'll do anything"

    Persona 5 dancing game is going to have Yakuza themed costume DLC. Why not Persona 5 the RPG as well? :(

    Also this:

    So is Strange Journey Redux the only upcoming SMT game we have a release date for at this point?

    I'm looking forward to that because, frankly, it's one of my favorites, despite all the shit it gets from others.

    But I need more.

    I need SMT V.

    I need an announcement on Devil Survivor 3, if there ever is going to be one.

    I need a release date for Persona Q2.

    Or a game literally set in the Yakuza series where personas are basically stands.

    I'm still pretty early in (well, "early" being seven hours and midway through the first palace) but holy crap, so far this game has everything I liked about Persona 4 slathered in style and quality of life improvements. Instant warping to the various locations! I can actually consistently ambush enemies! Vastly more interesting dungeons! So much goodness.

    Not sure if I'll ever like Ryuji and Ann as much as I liked most of the playable characters from Persona 4, but it's early yet.

    Ryuji became my bro almost immediately. I hoped Ann would grow on me, but eh... She's not bad, but I like the rest of the phantom thieves way more.

    Not really related to anything, but I also found the game more enjoyable when I switched the language track to Japanese. It's perfectly fine in English (though Ann's voice is a little grating, IMO), but when I switched to Japanese just to see what everybody sounded like, I ended up never switching it back.

    Maybe there's more to Ryuji than I've seen so far but he seems to be a combination of Youske and Kanji, only not as well done. And I love both of those doofs.

    But again, it's early.

    Ryuji being a rebel at least is justified in his backstory. The bits similar to Yosuke are more just character archetype.

    Ann was a character that started out interesting but got increasingly less so the more you went down her path. By the end of her link it was like, "Really? That's an arc?"

    I actually consider the English dub pretty passable and/or good in places. It just wasn't cringey enough to switch it to the Japanese. It's no Cowboy Bebop, but it's serviceable.

    The problems with the dub are the at-times clunky script, not any of the voice actors.

    Ann can't stand Ryuji and is sick of guys oogling her. Then you switch to animation and she's always all over him and encouraging everyone to check out her bod o_O).

    A few of the party member links are a bit weak partly due to having already resolved the major issue facing them during recruitment.

    ...welp, just unlocked the confidant you level up via hiring an ishy maid service. Good ole' Japan.

    So, am I going to have to shell out 5,000 Nipponbucks for times when the link won't increase AND when the link will? Or if I wait patiently, I can just pay for the times the link will increase? Because this is one expensive friendship as it is.

    If you're in it purely for the gameplay benefits, it's probably the worst link in the game, and that's before you take into account the ~50k-80k it's going to cost you.
