Okay, I know this post and the last two are about Persona 5’s waifus (those in the main party, at least), but can we take some time out to talk about the potential husbandos? Or the bros, alternatively?
I’m not debating or downplaying the quality of the ladies in this game. But given the choice, I’d go with Ryuji above all others without flinching. If there was a very specific, character-driven alternate ending or string of extra scTales of Symphonia -- and the only way to get them was to get closer to one of your comrades, then I’d shove all of the other waifus out of the way for the chance to pal around with Loud Kiddington. Ryuji’s my bro, no contest…except it’s still kind of a contest given guys like Yusuke “Lobsters” Kitamura, Sojiro, Mishima, Yoshida, and the rest.
enes -- a la So on that note? I’ll go ahead and parrot a sentiment that’s been floating around for a while: give me romance options for the boys/men, whether that involves making a female protagonist or not. (I’d assume it wouldn’t because of the drain on resources a FeMC would be.) I don’t want to keep my bros at arm’s length, or treated as the loser option because I didn’t pine after a waifu. I want to hang out with the characters I think are coolest, regardless of gender. Chances are high that others feel the same way, or they just flat-out want that romance option because it suits them best. In which case? Atlus, don’t let us down next time. You’re pretty much our only hope in a world where Final Fantasy can barely scrape to the level of mediocrity.
But enough about that. Let’s get back in the waifu game…with ALL THE SPOILERS.
