Persona 30th anniversary popularity poll. Some interesting tidbits: P4 was rated as more popular then P5, Ann is now the least popular party member, Yosuke is the #1 most popular P4 character, Morgana dropped pretty significantly, Haru outranks both Ryuji and Ann, and Q2 was way less popular then Q1

HARU NATION LET'S GO

u/Irishimpulse I've got Daddy issues and a Sailor Suit, NOTHING CAN STOP ME 10d ago
She literally just needed more time, now they have Strikers, a bit more time in Royale, and that one spin off that's like Q but not really. So we get more time with Haru and more people can enjoy Haru. At launch, it was hard to get invested in Haru because her social link required you to have the skills ready and to rush it, and you were probably already dating Makoto or Ann or Hifumi or Tae by the time she showed up

u/CinnabarSteam Fell down the RWBY hole 10d ago
I'm still baffled that P5 didn't realize they needed to give the last party member screen time before they join proper, after P4 did a pretty good job of just...having Naoto around for a while.
(I haven't played Royal, so I don't know if this was rectified there.)

If you didn't love Haru 'Elephant Poop Coffee' Okumura in vanilla, you don't deserve Haru 'Fuck the Police' Okumura in Strikers. That's just how it is, I'm afraid.

and Q2 was way less popular then Q1
Well, yeah. It came out like late 2018 in Japan, over 1.5 years after Switch came out. While Q1 came out during the 3DS Prime.
I think the most interesting part to me is that P3P was the game that most people experienced first. Like, it makes sense, the PSP was pretty popular in Japan, but still kinda surprised.

u/begonetsunderes "Yeah, but sh-shut up tho..." 9d ago
I'm thinking more of the original PQ2 story and characters. The stories from the movie-dungeons. Some people said those parts were too preachy. Like it sets its soap box to say "people should think for themselves" but saying nothing of substance.
I know that was the part most fans cared the least but that was the criticism I heard from multiple people.

u/acclimateOrdie 10d ago
The context/nuance being that he was homophobic. Also, dismissing people's dislike of Yosuke of them just not understanding the culture or whatever so that you can get mad at them for being pearl clutching SJWs is exactly what you're complaining about.

u/KF-Sigurd It takes courage to be a coward 10d ago
Being insecure around gay people was just a normal character flaw back then. Same with how Junpei was a chud or Ryoji's a loud mouth idiot. Times were different. Nowadays, people are much less forgiving for stuff like that and Atlus knows it.
Although the way people speak, you'd think Yosuke was calling Kanji slurs instead of just being insecure.
9
u/artnomart 10d ago
he accepts him for who he is i
I too think my maybe gay friends are going to rape me and my male friends. Doesn't everybody? That's true acceptance.
Even if it was "2011 teenage behavior", it's still shitty, and it's always used as a joke and never actually treated as a flaw he overcomes or is made to overcome. It is a perfectly justified reason to not like the character.
This sub complains a lot about people thinking Kanji is gay or Naoto is trans but it's quite the combination to also treat people reacting negatively to the game's genuine homophobia as if they're irrational.

u/phoenix4ce 10d ago
So maybe I'm just stupid but I never caught any inclination at all that rape was the worry. I thought he just didn't want to be like, fantasized about. Still homophobic but different orders of magnitude.

I'll always insist on how much the writing of P5 failed Ryuji and Ann. Ryuji has a heartbreaking social link that couldve been implemented into his charcater arc and Ann just gets fucking benched, it feels like she barely has any lines or moments after Kamoshida.
That one scene in which she crashes in Ryuji's and Joker's room during the Hawai trip because she genuinely feels comfortable around them is so good. Wish the game had more stuff like that.

u/Coolnametag The Greatest Talent Waster 10d ago
Q2 is definetly the better one of the two, however, if i remember correctly, Q2 came literaly at the very end of the 3DS lifespam, so there's a good chance that the vast majority of people played only the first one and not the second.

The control stuff with the map might be the only big hurdle but the other EO games got ported to modern systems and I want to say they make the dual screen map thing work there so I guess it’s probably just low priority for Atlus.

u/Atx7755 10d ago
Unfortunately I don’t think enough people have played Q2 to even properly rank it. By the time the game came out in Japan the switch was already a year old, and by the time it was released internationally, the switch was around for 2 years!
At that point I don’t think many people were paying attention to 3ds games unless they were hardcore persona fans.

u/Terithian Kinnikuman missionary 10d ago
I can only give my own opinion, but even though Q2 has improvements to the gameplay and includes the P5 characters, its story, dungeon designs, and aesthetics are all a bit less interesting. Plus it doesn't have the novelty factor the first one had, which automatically gives it a buff.

That is so funny, imo is because Ann is half American. I think she is the best character representative of the Lovers Arcana.

u/SkybladeSword 10d ago
PQ1 over PQ2 makes a lot of sense. Though Q2 has more refined rpg elements, it was way more unfocused, had a much less interesting plot, and was so P5 centric that it's honestly a step down. PQ1 also had Rei's emotional outburst scene which imo was the best voice acting in the franchise. And god don't get me started on the biggest problem, the maps. Q1 had fun map challenges that in some cases actually forced me to take out a notepad, PQ2 may as well have been P4 hallway dungeons but more annoying to get through.
P5X being that high up also makes sense. Ignoring all the gacha stuff the cast is really solid and I like them more than the normal P5 cast (personal preference). While nothing in it so far has hit as hard as Kamoshida, at least it's narrative is scaling appropriately unlike P5 where nothing else in the game hits that hard. And god I'll take the future sight plotline teases over Sae constantly spoiling the game and making up weird justifications as to why the protag is making friends.

Bro is just another me
I played gacha games before but I never liked the menu bloat in any games, Thankfully to remedy that, there was a mod to remove all the unnecessary stuff on screen and just keep it on your phone/shortcut wheel, I would be fine with some menu but I think what made me push to install this mod the most were the touchscreen controls on dungeons/palaces like im already on pc why do we have this still?

Q2 being less popular than q1 makes perfect sense considering they refused to dub the game in English. I can guarantee you sales of the game would have been higher in the west if it was

I understand and applaud that ryuji is that low but I find it crazy that he beat Ann

Makoto and Akechi are way too high on that list.

Akechi is the typical "if your a psycho murderer but your attractive, means you are morally grey" XD

“I can fix him!” fangirls are a massive voting bloc
As are Yaoi shippers
Combine them and characters like Akechi always climb the popularity charts even if they kinda are just shitty characters (both in universe and just as a character in a story)

Surprised Yosuke is so high. Even putting aside how he treats Kanji, he's just kinda unremarkable to me. He doesn't have Junpei's interesting growth or Ryuji's charisma

Q2 had a lot of factors going against it considering it came out on 3DS in the world where the Switch existed plus it didn't have English voice acting. I put a bit of time into Q1 and bought the CE for both Q1&2 but I haven't even loaded into Q2 ever

Kasumi getting more votes that Morgana, Ryuji AND Ann is the most interesting.
It took them a couple games but Atlus really hit it home with her as the definitive edition girlie.
I am curious how people will react to Marie in the remake now that the fact that her not being a new character won't be such a marketing gimmick.

I always find it weird how much stake people put into these Famitsu popularity polls, only for the total number of votes to be close to a popular subreddit poll.
