They should do one for the persona's(non character specific) themselves. I'd probably go with Lucifer or Satan.

Okay,

a) what the goddamn hell is Kanji doing at 12!? :mad:
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. :|

I haven't played P2 yet.
But going into P1 even knowing it was nothing like P3 or P4, I gotta say i hated all of it.
Characters included.

Isn't Koromaru the dog? What the fuck, Japan.

At least I can get down with the top choice, although that's mostly because of Charlie.

But....but....Koro is one of my favorite characters :(

In fact, my top three characters are listed consecutively, and much lower on the list than I think they should be. But alas, opinions right?

As a rabid Yukari fanboy I'd be voting to P4 Yu after the anime as well. Pimp doesn't even begin to describe that effort. Best use of a 'silent' protagonist ever.

I have a feeling Kanji's english VA makes him more beloved over here. Troy Baker really knocked it out of the park with that one.

I have no shame admitting that's part of it, but I genuinely like his character and I'm glad they were bold with the direction they went with.

I love Kanji, even in Japanese. His character is fantastic. I just loved how Troy translated Kanji into a more "american" style of punk while not getting stereotypical.

Rather obvious Yu is number 1 on the list considering P4:The animation made him such a fucking swag its hard to argue. Probably when P3 movie comes out, P3 characters will be push to the top.

It's the best game in the series.

Go .

While that is true I tried to play that shit on psp and I can't do it anymore. Believe me I tried but the combat is slow and the encounter rate is way to high, the story can't save it for me because I already know it from playing it long time ago.

Does Tamaki Uchida count as a Persona User/Devil Summoner? 90% of this topic will Who? this and I don't blame em hah

This list isn't about all SMT games its about SMT persona as in the only 4 games that are called persona. It has nothing to do with who can summon demons or games like DDS.

She's in Persona 1 and 2 though, but I did mainly just mention her as a joke

Also in Persona's direct predecessor SMT If...

Why are you trying to mess with these people dawg :p.

Why is Yosuke so high and Kanji, Mitsuru, Akihiko & Dojima so low? (And no Metis?) :/

Also P3 FeMC > P3 MC all day, every day.

I'm glad Theodore made the list (especially considering Margaret didn't even make it), I hope we see more of him.

Atlus USA should do a similar poll, I think the results would be quite interesting.

Popular fan opinion is that Margaret is nowhere near as amusing as Elizabeth and Theodore so that makes sense.

Also, Metis is one if the main focuses of a quite unliked chapter of Persona 3 in fan opinion, so it also makes sense she's not here.

1) There is a spell to reduce the encounter rate, and since the game is easier on PSP you won't suffer from the loss of fights.
2) The BS is actually faster than P3-4 thanks to the ability to skip animations + set up attacks automatically.
3) The story shouldn't lose value because you are replaying it, when i replayed IS the second time i actually loved the story even more because of the huge ammount of details/foreshadowing you won't notice the first time. (there are even references to EP plot in the initial dungeon!)

Good thing they don't make the games based off these polls or else we'd get nothing but P3/P4 ports and spinoffs!
 
What do people find like-able about Yosuke? Serious question.
He's a completely normal dude who tends to screw up a lot but manages to keep the team moving forward during the case. I find him amusing, he reminds me of a friend I had in High School. Also he's the best party member in the game, does great magic and physical damage and has masukukaja and dekaja to boot.
He's an archetypal obedient sidekick.

He's the Tim Drake to my Batman. Doesn't challenge me for stupid reasons like Jason Todd...I mean Junpei.

As a party member, he's pretty versatile. Good physical attacks, buffs and debuffs, good magic attacks and limited healing. In P4G, they gave him even better healing spells. He's good all around in almost any role. Brosuke :p

He is an jerkass with everyone and people say that is a Bro cause he does what friends are expected to do.

Also, he needs a huge.

Tim Drake will be insulted and he will tell you that is Damian... and Damian will get insulted too and will affirm is Drake [REPEATTOINFINITUM]

I love Koromaru, how could anyone hate him? Also surprised to see Fuuka there, though she wasn't a bad character beside the VA. Maybe her JP voice was fine.

I actually like Naoto a lot, so it doesn't bother me she's that high.

What does bother me is why other people like her.

P4's protagonist is cool, so I'm fine with that. I don't really know why I like him though, haha.

Yosuke? Really? lol.

I like how Adachi made the list.

Also funny how P2's Tatsuya and P1's protagonist made the list out of all the P3/P4 characters.
