Persona 5 Social-Link/Confidant discussion |OT| Laughing Banana is Makoto's husbando

OK, I was going to do this by Arcana (and maybe I will when I finish the game) but I am getting close and wanted to compare the cast members by the archetype and see which game comes out on top. My favorite will get 2 points and my second favorite will get 1 point in each category. If there there are only two names present then only one point will be awarded.

Archetype ------------------------- | Persona 3 | Persona 4 | Persona 5 |

Your Bro -------------------------------- Junpei ------- Yosuke [1] ---------- Ryuji [2]
Canon Romace (Lovers) ------------- Yukari [1] --------- Rise[2] ----------- Ann
Animal ---------------------------------- Koro -------------- Teddie[2] ---------- Morgana[1]
Princess --------------------------------- Mitsuru[2] ---------- Yukiko ----------- Haru [1]
Brawler --------------------------------- Akihiko[2] ----------- Chie -------------- Makoto[1]
Outcast ------------------------------- Shinji [1] ----------- Kanji [2] -------------- Yusuke
Youngster ------------------------------- Ken [1] ------------- Naoto --------------- Futaba [2]

Sorry Fuuka, Aegis, and Akechi!
-----------------
Total --------------------------------- 7 -------------------- 7 ---------------------------- 7


Oh dear....


Edit: I'd say for having 2 additional party members Persona 3 is the winner, and I'll let the other two stay as a tie.

Edit 2: So this would give me a party of Ryuji, Rise, Teddie, Mitsuru, Aikihiko, Kanji, Futaba, and let's say P5 protag. That's not too bad!

I finished the game and now I wanna go for a max confidant run. Should I go for a guide or new game+ makes it easy to achieve?

The latter.

I had all of December off on new game plus and I gained Kawikami massage and the affinity reading during that run.

I can't bring myself to cheat on any of them.


Funny, I was actually caught between Futaba & Makoto before the game launched in America.

Somebody help me!
Somebody save me!
Send me a sign, God!
Give me some hope here!
Something to live for!

Why are you hesitating? It's bloody obvious that Haru is the best. Don't listen to anyone saying otherwise, they're lying. Besides, you don't want to be *common* like those that chose Makoto, riiiiiight? Be different, be special, be Haru.

You may not realize it yet, but you want Haru. :)

80 hours in. Right now im at
Niijama's Palace
Fuck the Dark Labyrinth... That shadow that just sends people to sleep and then instakills them... had me have to start the whole thing from scratch.

Also why was Makoto hitting on me at the Beach when i just made up with Kawakami a week earlier... :/

The actual rl choice is easy. Go for Haru, the loaded one

Yes, Betty never really has a shot against Veronica
You......you understood the reference.
I'm a musical theatre actor (as well as regular plays), so I'm kind of a fan of musicals in general.

Just for that, I'm going with Haru.

Ohya being last never stops being funny lmao

Also people gotta stop being surprised that Haru isn't higher in these type of things.

Akechi love is way too strong...guy went from decent, could go somewhere but hasn't yet, to obnoxious cliche that completely thwarted that potential.

Ann and Ryuji being the least popular members in Japan was already known.

This really is P3 all over again with the protag being the most popular character in the game and the two first friend characters being the most disliked.
