Persona 3, shipping, hypocrisy , and robot lesbians.
So, I've been playing Persona 3: FES lately. Actually, I've been playing Persona 3 & 4 nonstop since about...February? I rented 4 on a whim, finished it (93 hours on one game: yikes!), and then decided to try out 3 (70 hours so far). After I finish Persona 3, I'm going to go back and start a new game of 4. And I'm probably going to spend my money this Christmas on a PSP (something I thought I'd never consider) for the persona 1 remake.
Both games are so damn good. I can't remember the last time a game made me this HAPPY to play it...maybe We <3 Katamari?
Anyway, let me ramble on more towards the subject of this post...when I was looking around for fanart for Persona 3, I noticed that Akihiko/Mitsuru is a popular pairing. For me this is like, "WTF? When do they ever interact enough to warrant a romance?" (truth be told, I'm in October, so I dunno if there's more interaction later.) Pairings that have little basis beyond "oh they were in the same panel, let's pair them up" usually annoy me, because I need some believable character interaction or expressed interest for me to get behind it.
Why yes, I usually go through fanart/fanfiction feeling smug about my superior taste in pairings/annoyed by popular fanon pairings Die Yosuke/Chie...why do you ask?
...Or so I thought. Today, in Persona 3, I saw a scene where Fuuka and Aegis were talking to each other. This one conversation is about ALL the interaction they've had all game, yet my immediate thought was "HEY! They're both really cute! I want to pair them up!" I really thought I was immune to that, but I guess not. D:
