Glad to see Slouchy McDouche outside the top 3 and at least a bit of P2 representation. Looks like the Japanese aren't very fond of Junpei.

Okay,

a) what the goddamn hell is Kanji doing at 12!? >:(
b) what's so cool about the Persona 4 main character? I don't get it. He's not... anything. besides JYB when he yells out persona names
c) there's only one character in the whole list that isn't from P3 or P4. :|

Most likely from the anime. :)

He's King!

Sgt.Pepper · (10-03-2012, 05:29 PM)

Yosuke spin-off when.

Naoto has one, so it is fair.

There.

Really, Yosuke? He was such a jerk half the time.

shidoshi · (10-03-2012, 05:29 PM)

Hmm... on one hand, this is another example of Japanese "favorite character" lists that seem more than a little questionable, and which are heavily weighed towards "who I currently remember the most". And seriously, Yu at #1? So players think THEY are the best character?

On the other hand, Junpei is nowhere on this list. Japan is redeemed.

The Vita version needs to come out so I can play at least one of them. :<

Holy Order Sol · (10-03-2012, 05:30 PM)

Needs more Baofu.

Electivirus · (10-03-2012, 05:30 PM)

People reeeeally love P3 and P4.

Yosuke is a dbag, why is he #2?!

Same thing when Gordon Freeman is voted as greatest video game character. It is like voting for yourself.

I'm more surprised that Aegis is sixth considering the fan pandering she gets.

But yeah, LoL about Yosuke and Naoto being above Chie.

The Grim Heaper · (10-03-2012, 05:31 PM)

why the fuck are kanji, mitsuru, and akihiko so low

why are naoto and yu so high

cjkeats · (10-03-2012, 05:31 PM)

Wow Yoskue #2? huh.

Poor P1 and 2 characters. I figured Maya would've had a better chance than Tatsuya.

dragonlife · (10-03-2012, 05:31 PM)

Yu at #1? Definitely the anime influencing that.

Sgt.Pepper · (10-03-2012, 05:31 PM)

And I remember seeing this like 1 month ago somewhere.

Banana Kid · (10-03-2012, 05:32 PM)

Naoto above Chie is a goddamn travesty.

The Mana Legend · (10-03-2012, 05:32 PM)

Where da fuq is Baofu, the only Persona character worth a damn?

Please tell me his name is different in the Japanese version and he is up there. Please. Or else idontwanttoliveonthisplanetanymore.gif.

Pureauthor · (10-03-2012, 05:32 PM)

I assume none of you questioning the P4 MC choice have actually watched the anime.

Because Yu Narukami is a swaggest dude ever.

Seriously it's pathetic that everyone is from 3 and 4 save for one person.

Personally I thought he was great. He has a lot of character, despite being silent. I'd say you have an argument for P3 MC being anywhere on that list, though. He was pretty dull.

ShockingAlberto · (10-03-2012, 05:34 PM)

Fuck Yukari.

randomkid · (10-03-2012, 05:34 PM)

I remember seeing a scan of the earliest votes for this ages ago and laughing, laughing, laughing. This is from that Persona magazine or whatever right? Seems to be just as funny as I remembered!

Venfayth · (10-03-2012, 05:34 PM)

Hahaha so much Yukari hate. I'm not surprised.

I am surprised Elizabeth is so low.

Yeah I'd imagine most of his love comes from the anime fans.

Sgt.Pepper · (10-03-2012, 05:35 PM)

Hint: Persona 3 & 4 are more popular than all SMT and older Persona games.

Korigama · (10-03-2012, 05:35 PM)

Mitsuru at only #13? Yosuke as high as #2? Yeah, I think I see how seriously I should bother taking this list. Lack of P2 representation is also depressing.

Beckx · (10-03-2012, 05:35 PM)

Akihiko is 18? Junpei isn't here? Yosuke is 2?

Someone rigged this. I demand an investigation.

TheSeks · (10-03-2012, 05:35 PM)

No Lisa Silvermen, but her clone Chie is in?

Japan one step forward, YOU SO STUPID steps back. :|

Chie sucks, kids

RomanticHeroX · (10-03-2012, 05:35 PM)

That's the worst list! No Lisa and no Maya means it's automatically invalidated. Also, the P4 anime is so fucking terrible please don't infect the games with that junk.

sleepykyo · (10-03-2012, 05:36 PM)

Brosuke at number 2. Not sure what to make of that.

ultron87 · (10-03-2012, 05:36 PM)

No Junpei. No Ken. Great work Japan.

Foxix · (10-03-2012, 05:36 PM)

This list makes more sense to me if I read it backwards.

dygiT · (10-03-2012, 05:36 PM)

North American Persona fans rank their favourite characters in the series

1. Chie
2. Chie
3. Chie
4. Chie
..
..
..20. Yosuke

Yukari first?

Seriously?

Seriously?

PartTimeWarrior · (10-03-2012, 05:37 PM)

Yukari at 20? Sounds about right

toastyToast · (10-03-2012, 05:37 PM)

Yu is the trillest JRPG protagonist ever

Japan showing respect

Anteater · (10-03-2012, 05:37 PM)

I don't even remember anything about Yukari

I'm not sure about Kanji, I never got him higher than rank 2 or 3 because I kept forgetting about him (he's in the other building I think) and I wanted to max the other personas... sorry Kanji! Maybe in a new playthrough

buddha0991 · (10-03-2012, 05:38 PM)

I thought I saw this same list but Nanjo was on the top 20, strange.

Persona 1 is still the best selling as far as I know dammit! I'll keep clinging to that in the face of market changes.

Coxy · (10-03-2012, 05:39 PM)

this pleases me, P4 MC is a super cool guy, P3 MC is a pretentious scrot.

I like the characters in P3 an order of magnitude greater than the P4 cast :(

Isn't that your fault?

John Rabbit · (10-03-2012, 05:39 PM)

no mysterious fox?

how is teddie on the list and junpei isn't? they're not related but fuck teddie.

Yea, p4's cast were entertaining though

Khold · (10-03-2012, 05:40 PM)

I'm not sure there is a Persona character I dislike. This could probably be in any order and I'd agree with it.

I know.... but in Japan for some reason MC is always the top favorite. Yu is there probably for P4Arena? It must have boosted his popularity.

And yeah, Yu's story in P4A was the most boring of all....
