Shit character, and his death happens to advance the plot.
I'm just worried they'll kill off my waifu in P5.

EMOTION

P3 is full of cheap cliches to force emotion and motivation out of the characters, it's not that surprising.

That said Ken is a faggot and should have died instead

Persona 3 tries to be all emotional in really cliche ways by killing people off and making bad shit happen.
Persona 4 builds up these characters and makes you feel something for them, and at the end you leave them. Playing that the first time on PS2, not knowing all the milking the franchise would get made me think I'd never see them again and man that is some sad shit, on a far more personal level than Persona 3.

Stopping death from destroying the world and dying in your waifus arms is too "epic" to feel sad about. Saying goodbye to close friends is something most people can resonate with.

Well said. The ending of P4 always got to me when I thought it would be the last time I would ever see the IT. The spin-offs are enjoyable, but they really detract from the original experience.

In other words you only played two social links.
>There's literally no reason Yu can't call them on the phone or visit for the summer anyways
Completely missing the point. The point is that the game is over. The player can't just phone them up like that once the game ends. But yeah, like I said, they ruined it with all the spinoffs and bullshit.

>>320431460
Development tued to social linls is retarded, because they act exactly thr same with or eithout them, so the little development they have is completely ignored and ghe characters regress badly, nulling any semblance of "development" they have
The IT are shallow as fuck as characters
P3's character development has them tied to the mains story, which shows how well the change and gives you deeper connection to them.

Meanwhile in persona 4 its literally a fucking shonen anime where nobody dies and everythings happy 90% of the game. All the character development is in social links (AKA doesn't impact actual plot points in any fucking way.

No, you missed the entire point of Yukiko's arc. In the beginning she was miserable because she didn't take initiative in her life. Her growth was that she willingly chose to accept responsibility over the inn, rather than just having it dumped on her because it was "expected."

Gentle reminder that Ken L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y did nothing wrong. Shinji set himself up. It's the only reason the Strega "murder for hire" subplot exists.
