I'd trust them to create a cool design for her regardless - P3P FeMC was very tastefully done while being a nice change of pace from the original Male MC.

They need to add her as Joker's canon sister. With a social link of course where she go see MC in tokyo out of worry since their parents couldn't care less.

Akechi/MC would really be uncool in my book. Guy a)
killed Haru's dad, b) perhaps also murdered Futaba's mom (unclear), c) is your would be murderer, and d) is somehow involved in the madness going on in various palaces. And...all his points as having a rival justice or being the Sherlock Holmes are thrown in the trash because he doesn't believe any of it and is just a jealous hypocrite.
Seriously, it would be fan fiction tier stuff and betray the narrative. If that is the way FeMC s link with Akechi went...I'd probably never play FeMC. A bridge way too far, imo.

Unless they treat it like Shinjiro in P3P and make it so ranking him up past a certain level before a certain date
changes the events during Palace 6 & 7? The phantom thieves - Haru especially - may not be ready to forgive him, but they could definitely sympathize with his situation, and even invited him to help them.
I assume a romance with the protagonist could possibly sway him to their side by then or earlier.

Actually, considering Joker's backstory It would probably be best for feMC to be unassuming. Colored hair and flashy clothes that almost break uniform rules wouldn't fit the narrative of someone trying to keep their head down in a new place. The game is pretty conscious of those things. The only characters with obviously dyed hair (not natural like Ann) are obvious outcasts. Futaba to society, Ryuji to the school, Sae to the police force.

Yeah. I'm going to be a hard audience to please here. The scene after the boss rush segment irritated me; just smacked so hard of
got to pity handsome,
troubled young man who lashes out at the world and kills people (and those close to you). Like no, I don't need to pity him or wax on about how amazing he was.
I really wish Akechi had been an actual rival character...and while
the twist worked on most levels, it did so at the expense of his character. Moreover, what came next was told in such a rushed manner that really did not build a healthy new narrative around him, imo.
Idk. It reminds me of
Adachi. I suspected him. He was fishy and there weren't many eligible characters to be the killer. So much of the twist made sense and the various pieces of the puzzle fit together and explained why the case was puzzling, but Adachi's sexual angle was weird and sudden, he had face changes, etc. They could have gone with a much more natural story leaning more on the chip on his shoulder and less hidden personality. Or make the hidden personality more obvious to the player.
Still, I think Adachi was better handled than Akechi. Akechi's hidden personality devalued his voice in the story up to that point. A voice that seemed to have something to say.

Do people dye their eyebrows? Futaba has orange eyebrows.
Also, is Sae's hair supposed to be grey or that light brown color? Her talk bubble drawing seems a bit different than her in-game model to me. Also seems like it has a shaved head on one side to me, so maybe I just really don't get it.
It is a bit of an awkward comparison. I believe what
Adachi is revealed to be fits, but it is treated like a new alien persona in text (I only played the original, idk if there is more Adachi stuff and of what nature in Golden) and there aren't really hints of that dimension of his character until he starts changing his face.
Now, Akechi
what I'm trying to say is he has a new personality reveal much like Adachi. The difference is that it is also not additive or revealing, but subtractive. Adachi has just been a jealous hypocrite the whole time. The game isn't actually giving you a trustworthy perspective that pokes at the iffiness of what you are doing. That guy is just a murderous hack with daddy issues and a pretty face to break the hearts of the girls in the group and give you your tragic rival
. So the difference is really more important to me, but I also think they do fail in a similar way to each other disregarding that difference.
When the Prosecutor's office (I dunno when this happens exactly, Palace 4-5?)
decides to put her in charge of the police in the PTs case I think I told to a friend if I wasn't sure if that was going to work. She is young, a woman, and an outsider. That's going to hurt a lot of egos.
I liked Sae. The interrogation stuff was a bit awkward
as you basically do sell your team-mates out and then the whole thing in November was you didn't but...didn't we have all those conversation and didn't you gasp at some of the people who came up? Sure I "..." and avoided commiting but it seemed often times the cat was laready out of the bag when I took control.
Also amusing how she assumed you must have all your ragtag crew. Like "Yes, you must have had a fortune teller helping you."
But...I liked Sae/Makoto and I also liked corrupted, zealous, ambitious lawyer who can't be trusted by you but not by your enemies either.
Also liked the awkward effusiveness at the end and playing her a bit cold there after the sort of stuff she had pulled earlier. I like seeing that as a relationship in progress and seeing her earnestly trying to turn things around.
Idk. It is a bit weird how much the thread cycles through waifus and how much that can affect your personal interest in the thread.
I've put up a couple long-form Makoto comments in the last couple days myself, but since I've been here it has been mostly a Haru conversation, then a Futaba conversation, then a Futaba vs. Kawakami discussion, then a Kawakami discussion, and now it seems to be in between discussions. There was a mini-Ann discussion too.
Personally, I found the Haru, Futaba, and Ann conversations interesting and the shift to Kawakami and fan-art not so interesting . I have a bias towards considering the teens as the love interests.
Kobayakawa: Well, he's probably the pimp himself?
Kawakami: 5k A teacher clearly on the lower rungs of the faculty from the opening scenes.
Kamoshida: Never get the chance to find out and he's probably allowed out because of volleyball anyway. Maybe some ridiculous price people aren't going to pay?
Ushimaru: 20k. I think he's probably been there a while and has a better contract.
Hiruta: 8k. Young like Kawakami, but he doesn't get saddled with you so I'm assuming he is more secure in his position.
Inui: 12k. Middle-aged and established but lacking in the charisma and seniority of an Ushimaru
Chuono: 15k. Much like Inui.
Usami: 8k. Much like Hiruta.
So I think FeMC would be expert mode, especially if they went for Ushimaru. Higher costs for the husbando and the time-saving services.
