What do you think of her crotch rocket?
>>3938968Sousei's persona was "non-combative". So he wouldn't have worked in an RPG.
Meanwhile in P5...
There's a youtube video asking "why is it a bike"I'll watch it later. But they obviously like the idea of detectives on bikes.
>>3938977Boooo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCiGqyEErho>Mythical Pope woman crossdressing as a man>Zero connection to Naoto - crossdressing as a man. It's big brain time.

>>3938972Mitsuru's eventually gets the Artemisia persona.Based off Artemisia I of Caria. The advisor to Xerxes in the 300 movie, and queen of Halicarnassus.I'm not quite sure where the gender-bending comes from, but Halicarnassus in Final Fantasy also uses it. There's also the theory that FF8's Ultimecia was supposed to be spelled Artemesia, but I won't get into that here. Sousei's persona is Tsukuyomi. Which is Japanese lunar deity. That would have been much more significant in Persona 3, which focused on the phases of the moon, and where Nyx's body was. And that the gimmick of P3 was the "Dark Hour" when the shadows come out. Everything shutdown during the dark hour, except for "special" machines created by the kirijo group, such as Mitsuru's bike and their anti-shadow androids. Sousei is just the combination of those things. P4 had the "midnight channel" instead of the "dark hour". While the Persona x Detective Naoto manga has the "midnight site" a forum where 5 judges pass judgement. Likely inspiring P5's Phantom Thieves concept, who also made announcements through a website.
FF8Schizo out of absolute nowhere
Naoto is cute but I pick rise
