That Was An Engine-ious Move.
More Persona 3 FES!
I'm genuinely grateful for the existence of the Persona series. At a time when leisure options are severely limited, it's hard to overstate how valuable it's been to have these long, engaging games to get lost in.
Oh, damn, apparently I missed the chance to start Yuko's social link! Damn damn damn. She declined to walk home together the first time I asked her, so I didn't ask her at the second opportunity; I didn't realise you had to ask her both times if you wanted to become friends!
What a player-unfriendly game. I retract my gratitude.
I was worried when I heard about the jealousy mechanic in this game, meaning it's difficult to hang out with multiple female characters. Apparently I've dealt with that by completely failing to persuade any female characters to hang out with me. Your girlfriend can't get jealous if she doesn't exist!
My trust in Shuji has increased enormously now that I've learnt he spends his time alone coming up with terrible jokes to tell everyone.
Akihiko seems more friendly than I'd expected from his 'wait, aren't you Draco Malfoy?' appearance! Also, after Junpei went 'boo, Akihiko's joining the team? I wanted a girl instead,' Akihiko asked me whether I'd also prefer a girl to him and seemed reassured when I went 'what, no, glad to have you on board,' which is sort of endearing.
This is the first Persona game in which I haven't studied obsessively in the lead-up to exams, perhaps because I am headcanoning Kosuke as good-hearted but not at all smart. It wouldn't seem right if he got excellent exam scores straight out of the gate. Kid's a doofus who just wants to sing karaoke by himself and hang out with the nice old couple at the bookshop.
The Persona 4 protagonist was the responsible one, always helping everyone he came across. Kosuke 'you tell someone to cheer up if they're grieving, right?' Niwa tries, but I don't think he could help his way out of a paper bag.
Kosuke's courage level starts out as 'timid'. I would contest this, because, as a fairly timid person myself, I think I would baulk at the prospect of shooting myself in the head with a magic gun, even if it did summon a catgirl to destroy my enemies.
