Some more notes on Persona Q! These run from the Inaba Pride Exhibit up to the third floor of the clock tower.
Yukari's response to 'we should all go to a festival together!' is 'Oh, hmm. That does sound fun... But you'll be there, won't you, Teddie?' and I'm glad she understands my 'I love everyone here, EXCEPT TEDDIE, WHO I AM FORCED TO SIT THROUGH FOR TIME WITH THE CHARACTERS I LOVE' struggle.
Rise's disappointed that she wasn't in the party to see Kanji's bad bad bathhouse!
Akihiko's characterisation in this game is generally very poor, but it's cute to see him and Chie training together.
It's lovely to see everyone talking about the possibility of Kanji becoming a teacher. And Kanji actually starting to consider it!
Yosuke's canonically flustered by the giant sweaty muscular loincloth man monster. Sometimes I wonder whether 'Yosuke is very clearly into guys and repressed about it' is just in my head. It's not.
Chie: You don't use me enough in battle.
Riona: Oh, I'm sorry, Chie! Let's do some fighting together.
Teddie: You don't use me enough in battle.
Riona: Good.
Oh, wow, the game actually addresses the fact that the games these characters are from aren't set in the same year! (I'd be really interested to see the Persona 4 cast's reactions if they get home and try to look their new friends up online.)
Awww, seeing the Persona-users of the future gives Mitsuru hope!
Yukiko wants to see Akihiko in a skirt! I'm enjoying Yukiko in this game. (Yukari's also into the idea!)
I still don't understand how this game managed to get Akihiko so wrong. He's not stupid and he's not reckless, going by everything we see in Persona 3. Where has this characterisation come from?
Holy shit, I was not expecting this game's plot to be so devastating. I didn't know it had a plot beyond 'Persona characters from different games hang out'!
Also, I went 'oh, wow, I hadn't realised Rei's voice actor was this good' when the plot kicked in, and I looked her up; it's Ashly Burch, voice of Chloe Price and Aloy! Suddenly I can hear her so clearly. She's giving a very intense performance!
Tentarafoo continues to be phenomenally useful. I love you, Yosuke. I think you're wonderful.
It's nice that Yosuke's privately telling me how much he admires Kanji, but you could tell Kanji that once in a while, Yosuke, rather than just teasing him!
Yosuke really cares about the entire team! It's very sweet. It's nice to see him and Rise have a warm interaction, too!
I told Yosuke he's cool, and he went into a blushing panic. ('Yosuke is flustered,' the narration informed me.)
'Hey, maybe what's good about me is that I'm blessed with the friends I have.' You're so cute, Yosuke.
Protagonist: Say nice stuff about me!
Yosuke, blushing: Huh? Well, it's kinda tough saying it to your face... I can't say stuff like how you're reliable and cool and great at playing along, you know?
Yosuke's got it so bad. I love it. (RD's response to the screencaps I've been sending her: 'riona he's so extremely gay for you. every single one of his lines could have NO HOMO at the end of it and read the same.')
I just end up cooing over Yosuke whenever I try to talk about this game. I'm not sorry. I love this stupid in-denial kid more than he deserves.
