I hope it's not an unpopular opinion because this is what Atlus needs to do to push the series forward in a big way.
Having the MC be an actual character would drastically make every single confidant relationship better. Those relationships would stop being one-way streets and start being an actual two-person relationship.
Right now, almost every confidant has the confidant just use the MC as an exposition-dumping ground or a place to bounce ideas off of. It's a one-way street that's very one-dimensional.
Actually this reminds me of a cool thing in Harvest Moon where if you don't make moves on girl x, guy y* will eventually. Then you can still give your character the time to try and woo Naoto whilst crushing Kanji's heart.
*Except one guy who you could save or leave him to die, ensuring one of the girls remains forever alone.

The last name thing would actually work, considering it's more common to refer to someone in Japan by their family name unless you are particularly close. And yeah the Mass Effect model is absolutely what I was hoping to see in P5, so maybe the dream will actually come true in P6.

Sums up my feelings exactly - how late did you start her? I started her link at 11/3 with no Chihaya boost available and was able to complete it fairly easily.
Welcome to the Haru fold.
100% this, I really hope they do this in the remaster, wouldn't take too much to inpliment either.
One or two sightings before getting her as a party member is not enough, I don't know why Makoto got all the love in the story, it makes the other female characters feel like afterthoughts.
Absolutely, I can't help but feel like if Haru joined earlier, the gap between her and Makoto would be much smaller, if not reversed.

I really like the song that plays when you max out an slink, whatever that is.

Once I knew the lyrics it really grew on me, it's up there with past songs like Heartbeat Heartbreak and others.
"I'm a shep shifter."
Oh yeah I remember that one douchebag who wanted to go after Karen. I sure showed him.
I bought karen heart with lots of wine
Ugh, they'd be so bad for each other.
Makoto and Ryuji would be better because both could learn from each other. Makoto's horizons would expand beyond being the perfect student, and Ryuji would probably learn how to make himself a more responsible person. Futaba and Yusuke had some cute interactions.
Shipping aside, I really hope for P6, your best friend character isn't such a douche. The whole class trip with Ryuji really pushed my nerves. Give me a nice guy like Lucio, Atlus!

There should have been a secret yandere haru ending, where she kills everyone if you romance everyone but her.

Fixed.
Also, if this game is going to make the logical leap and say that all these grown women are totally down to date a high schooler, why not just go the extra two steps and let the game have gay relationships? I'd find it far more believable that any of your male confidants would be into you more than these older women, including your teacher.
Ah well, it's something we say with every persona. Maybe next time.

Dating Makoto, Ann and Becky at the same time.
Suddenly the name Izaya Orihara seems extremely appropriate for my MC.

I misheard it as "I'm a stepshitter".

About to begin NG+, I assume getting all confidants maxed will be easy with the NG+ bonuses? Or are there any tips I should know to ensure I become Mr. Popular?

Best girl with best boy makes for a good wallpaper.
1. Have a persona with an arcana corresponding to the social link's arcana when you hang out with them. You'll have money and personas registered presumably so you can just summon a cheap one from the velvet room real quick.
2. The Fortune link can speed up the process
3. The Temperance link can buy you time to do social links, thereby also speeding up the process

you wanna shaft your sister?
Unfortunately, I think to the average Japanese person, the impression would definitely be that a teacher banging a student is more likely than male highschool students having a homosexual relationship.
Remember that entertainment is a reflection of society, not the other way round. Very rarely do works of entertainment lead the way in changing people's thoughts about societal norms, but rather the change has to occur first and be accepted, before most entertainment tags along and introduces these ideas into their work. Even then, it often lags behind on reality.

nah Ferro romanced Ohya, not Futaba
I looked up Futaba's romance scenes last night beause its not something I'll see on my own and I'm pretty convinced she's the best written character in 5 and easily one of the best in the series. She's great.
"I read about this guy who dated his teenage step-sister. It was rad."
Sorry, couldn't resist.

I like how Tae's rank ten relationship is basically 'well, uh, you're a minor... but what the hell, why not.'
I wouldn't know. Since I'm not a deviant, I asked her "what do you think?" and as a responsible adult she backed off.
What's interesting is so far with her and Becky, I didn't even have to try hard to friendzone the relationship because just picking what made sense auto directs the relationship to a non-romantic one. I guess you'll have to REALLY want to get in their pants to go that route. On the other hand, the Makoto thing was really naturally integrated, and you basically have to turn down the relationship if you don't want it, rather than forcefully establish it.
Chihaya is the first one to show signs of being thirsty for young ones, since she literally asked if I'm into older women. Wtf!
"I read about this guy who dated his teenage step-sister. It was rad."
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I won't judge people.
But just ignore my shocked and disgusted face when you talk about how great it is dating your
younger step-sister that can't go outside if you aren't around. Yup. Sounds great. Totally healthy relationship. I mean, it's not as if she's romancing the first guy that she felt she could rely on. Not at all. Nope.
@duckroll I think Chihaya must be like 19 years old. Which, well, shouldn't be that bad.
Well are you?

Waiting for a S.link where you can romance your actual little sister.
But during the course you find out she is not related in any sense

Go all in
Sister AND Mother s-links that are both romanceable
Just embrace full anime trash with Persona 6
I agree with this. Blank slate protagonists suck, and I'm glad that Joker has the feel at least of having a personality compared to the soulless husks we get in games from other series

I feel like Joker is trying to be this jack of all silent protagonist with some uniqueness and kinda fails at both. Make him a fully unique character, make him a complete blank slate, or go the mass effect route and spend some money making him a flexible unique character which is what I think atlus wanted Joker to be.

haha why not? What other anime trash tropes should be added.
My main problem is that he says too little. The character has an actual personality that's often shown in cutscenes, in a lot of his animations and even in quite a few dialogue choices.
I think they should reduce the amount of romance options too. Not every woman in the game needs to have a romantic route. Having fewer options but fleshing them out and integrating them better would be great. Maybe having 4-5 options would be better than over 10.

Ohya's romance is the most f'd up since she keeps bringing up the age gap and even makes a joke about how the protag will probably eventually dump her for a younger, hotter girl. I feel like of all of the older romances, she's the one who more implicitly treats it like a fling.
That's impression I got as well. No older than early-twenties given what her backstory is like.
I agree few options and more story about the couple Like witcher 3

Afaik her age isn't given anywhere, my guess is she's 19-21.
I think it'd be cool if they found some middle road approach to the calendar stuff. Like, don't remove it, but allow the narrative to take the lead when needed and bring it back when there is some free time.
My take is 19 since:
She sounds like she left her hometown as soon as she finished High School to go to Tokyo.
She had problems finding a job due to various reasons.
She was found by that sect guy and I think she says she's been working with them for a little over a year?
