Persona 3 Reload - Makoto Yuki character trailer

They dropped it! I'm happy I didn't have to wait until midnight to see it. New character trailer weekly now.

You know, one of the things I enjoyed about PQ was playing through each Hero's side of the story and taking note of what choices they made while not under my control. Yu was pretty predictable, pretty much defaulting to all the choices I pegged as most in line with his personality (dry sense of humour and that brotherly sense of kindness).

Minato, however, surprised me several times.

There's a scene early on with the second dungeon involving Yukari where you options amount to either doting on her or still being nice but slightly less so. I'm not fond of these on principal, but when not under the player's influence, Minato chooses a third reaction not available us. He actually treats her with a bit of disdain, and that's such a step outside of our parameters that it actually makes me angry.

They gave Minato a very rich personality of his own (nonchelant and low energy, but abnormally excited for battles and willing to play peace maker for his team; the game's own description of him lists him as the least interesting type, but that's simply not true!! And actually insulting), but we as the player (/the writers of the game themselves) don't agree with all of his in-character actions. Where he'd choose to disregard Yukari, we outright take that choice away from him wholesale.

It's a fascinating view into the player choice as characterisation I pondered over a while ago and it's one of the few examples we'll probably ever get to see of the stark incongruence that can arise from dating sim components being prioritised over the player character's own personality traits.

Sig as Makoto Yuki from Persona 3 avatar. Alt version under cut.

Wanted to change my Discord avatar of Sig to something more Halloween-like and apparently not only did Puyo Puyo Quest have a Persona crossover, Sig got to cosplay as the P3 Hero / Makoto Yuki. I wish we got it in the States.
