Long time, no see!

As you probably know by now, we've got a swanky new trailer for P4R, and a P6 teaser too!

As for this blog, once revival has been out for a little bit, I'm planning to put out a poll asking if people want to redo the persona 4 rounds (just in case there's an influx of new fans, or P4R introduces new content which gets people into a new ship)!

I'm neutral/indifferent to it

Not that excited, since I'm worried they'll change too much

Results time! As I only had this running for a day, the results probably aren't as accurate as I'd like, however, it passed the 50 votes threshold, and therefore even if I had run this for a whole week, the results most likely wouldn't change by more than ~3%.

56.7% of people predominantly feel positive towards the idea of a persona 4 remake, while 15.4% of people feel indifferent towards it, and 27.9% of people feel negatively about it. 21.2% of people are at least slightly apprehensive atlus will change too much of the original game in a remake, while 28.8% of people are worried they'll change too little.

While I didn't have a separate category for it, multiple people in the reblogs mentioned they were apprehensive towards the idea of a persona 4 remake due to the fandom drama it would bring, which... well, I can't blame them. It's very rare for a poll on this blog to be this evenly distributed, an indicator of the fandom's complex feelings towards both persona 4 and atlus remakes alike.

so, if this game does get remade, I'd like to remind people to be courteous. Be critical, yes, but don't be mean or heckle people who have different opinions from you. On the flipside, don't bite someone's head off in defence of the game either. Atlus does not need you to white knight for them, trust me.

Oh whoops, realised I only set this for a day! As it's a bonus poll, I don't really want to remake it, so I'd encourage people who are interested in the results to reblog it!

Closing thoughts

Now that the ~final big post~ (for now) has dropped, I thought I'd write a not-so-brief denouement about the observations I've made while running these polls, along with the plans for the future of this blog.

Throughout all the games, certain things became veeeeeery clear. The first big one (perhaps unsurprisingly) is that m/f ships are generally unpopular unless they're explicitly canon. Non-explicitly canon m/f ships popular amongst the Persona fandom at large (shuyuka, yurise, and shumako to name a handful off the top of my head) are particularly controversial.

In regards to the Persona 3 polls, my most interesting observation was that in a reversal of what you'd expect from tumblr, m/m ships generally performed poorly compared to the f/f ships (both canon and non-canon) and the m/f ship juggernauts, jundori and bunkichitsuko. On the incredibly unlikely off-chance some atlus executive somehow stumbles onto an english tumblr post, make more canon romance!!! people eat it up!!!

In terms of Persona 4, wow. You guys do not multiship. Compared to the other games, people were also hugely apathetic about most of the extended cast with one or two exceptions.

Persona 5 had the opposite problem, namely every big ship with the exception of shihoann had at least some backlash. Ironically, it was the shuake fans reblogging the poll one too many times that led to its loss against pegoryu, which was one of the most surprising results of this tournament to me.

With that all said, what comes next? For the immediate future, nothing. I need a break - I've got a few more obligations irl than I had since I started this blog, so I don't have as much time to run this as I used to. Don't unfollow yet though - I intend to resurrect this blog once Persona 6 has dropped and has had some time to marinate, and I might post a few bonus polls in the interim if the mood strikes me.

For now, you can find me on my main, and thank you for engaging with these silly little polls!

The ship Tumblr feels the most positive about is Yu x Yosuke (91.7%)!

[newsonashipopinionpoll]

The ship Tumblr feels the 2nd most positive about is Bunkichi x Mitsuko (91.6%)!

[newsonashipopinionpoll]

The ship Tumblr feels the 3rd most positive about is Chie x Yukiko (91.2%)!

[newsonashipopinionpoll]

With all stats now posted, I'm going to queue up the highest percentage ships starting with the ten least popular, before moving on to the ten most popular! I will be tagging them 'most disliked' and 'most positive' respectively.

I would like to stress that these results are not an indicator of a ship's overall popularity, just how proportionally liked they are. I would confidently state that shuake is the most popular tumblr newsona ship in terms of content made for it/number of fans, however, it hasn't made the top ten because like with all big ships, it's also got a small but still present number of haters.

Tl;dr, do not use these for shipping arguments.
