Yosuke's main problem is that he's Junpei Mk. II, but with less of a personality.
Sorry to ask it (as I am sure it's been asked over and over again), but the OP hasn't been updated at all.
Now, about the P4D opening. THE VISUALS ARE AMAZING. I love the art. It's different from P4G's a bit but still focuses on shapes, colours and textures (like TV static or now something similar to carbon) and I looove that. Now I'm pretty sure the UI for Persona 5 will be just amazing as Persona 4 Golden's.

His homophobia is so moé.Also, YOSUKE!? He's like the most boring character in P4.
Dude... that guy is Bro tier. He doesnt get angry at anybody even trough everyone is a dick to him. And he sticks to the group even after some kicks to the crotch.
And in the end the only problem he has that they could come up with is jealousy.
I think he deserves to be number 1... at least after all those dickkicks.
Less personality, but less obnoxious. I guess you can say Junpei grows more as a character in P3.

Yosuke is great. He's not my favorite but how can you not like the guy?

What I wanna know is will we get a Yosuke/Junpei-like character in Persona 5?
I'm sure we'll get our Polnareff.

Silly! Polnareff is Chariot!
I kinda feel for the guy. He's constantly getting shit for his dad's shop, his love interest turns out to have hated and used him but he can't shake the feelings he has for her, then she gets murdered! Sure, he has a certain naivety but he's always supportive, at least attempts to keep up a good mood and it's nice to see him yuck it up with Teddie later in the story.
I'm not saying he's a character with Oscar caliber writing, just a cool dude that's very likeable. At least to me.
Also, nurses.
(Jokes aside, I'd buy the shit out of a Persona style JoJo game where they just use the same mechanics and have Stands instead of Personas.)
Nah, Yosuke was less "gimicky" a character. He had more redeeming qualities than Junpei and was more grounded, if you ask me.

I don't dislike Yosuke but his arc feels like such a retread of Junpei's that Yosuke's character loses focus as a result. Forever the wingman, but a poor foil to others. He's outclassed by Teddie and Kanji in almost every way. Junpei also connected better with characters who weren't the MC, including his love interest.
Yosuke being #1 in P4 probably can be attributed to him having enough for an archetype but not a real personality. He's someone all Japanese classes have at least 1 of, without much more that makes him a unique, individual personality. He's the every goof, basically.
That's part of the reason why I like P3 more than P4. They're archetypes/tropes in P3 but there's a certain amount of nuance to them that really makes them different. P4 unabashedly embraces them and as a result feels a lot more pronounced in a number of ways.

The Capcom game is basically that. Too bad they delisted it.

Yosuke is the true protagonist of P4. He's actually a consistent and strong figure in organizing and encouraging brain storming in the Investigation Team. The only input Yu actually gives in the original game is when Yosuke turns to you in the end just to hear you say what you think and that's it.
Thats kind of untrue. What about:
Being the person that guesses who the actual murder is?
Yu being the person that dissuades everyone from killing Namatame?
Fixed, I never like Junpei after the start of P3, he always seemed like such an ass to me.Yosuke's main problem is that he's Junpei Mk. II, but with less of a shitty personality.
Not to mention Yu having the wildcard Persona... Kind of crucial.
Edit: I know it's not part of the textual narrative but Yu (You) having the ability to get and fuse any Persona is a significant contribution to the investigation.

Shouta, I am with you in wishing we could have prevented the character poll from happening in the first place.
At least in a year we'll have new characters to form lists over, I guess.
I feel like the characters not having nuance is a problem in P4, and the characters do have nuance in P3. It's just that I don't see P3 characters or game written even close to how good P4 is except for Junpei.
I can sort of get behind this. But, I'd say that even though the characters are better in P3, the writing in P4 is much improved over P3 which is why I enjoy it more, if that makes any sense.
I generally feel that the P3 writing is equal, if not better than P4. However, the biggest difference between the two, especially when it comes to the characters, is that P4 directly tells you X, where P3 requires you to create an image of who they are based on words and actions without directly saying it. Things aren't spelled out for you with the chars in P3. It's most evident in the S.Links for the main characters and what they deal with.

FYI, I'm pretty sure the video they posted for P4D isn't actually the game's opening, but just a video for the opening theme. I'm sure P4D's actual game opening will be a typical anime one, as they've been doing with all of their games.
This... this just appeared on Twitter (source).
It might be fake, but it doesn't look like it.
Whoa.
