Persona 3
Just got to the beach. Urge to kill Yukari rising. And why didn't anyone tell me that Mitsuru-sempai's dad was hot like burning??? Facial scarring alkshgdakshgalgha

	on the bright side, I think you've hit the worst of it! Yukari's issues really stop being so central after this bit. but oh god, yeah. I remember having that exact same reaction. And trying SO HARD to choose dialogue options that would encourage her to leave me the fuck alone. ^^; Pure oversight! because yes. Kirijo-san, mmmm. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Just, so petty and jealous and full of entitlement! :( She asks, "What am I supposed to do now?!" and I was so sad that "go fuck yourself" wasn't an option. EYEPATCH. aksjgdhaklshg want (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hah, yes! I wanted something like "grow the fuck up and get over yourself," or maybe, "realize that IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU." But I think that really was her low point, for me. so at least it won't get any worse? And the other characters will get to do a lot more cool stuff in the coming months. ^^ now the question is who do you pair him with? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah. Watching Akihiko hitting on a transwoman (and being the only one not to freak out about it, I might note) went a good ways towards making up for it. <3

AKIHIKO. With vaguely awful incest-by-proxy and issues of guilt. Or Mitsuru herself, if you were willing to go just creepy and UST-ish instead of full-on pr0n. ~~Or grudgefuck with yukari, sins of the father-style~~

	...bless Akihiko, really. just. love for him. Both he and Junpei really shine in the second half of the game, too. purr purr purr. who starts it? is it that summer, or earlier? ...god, um, yeah, during that beach trip. I. sweet dreams, yus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's that summer- he gets all protective of mitsuru and goes to confront her dad about all the stuff he's just learned. Mr. Kirijo sees far too much of himself--and what he'd like to be--in Akihiko for anyone's comfort. And his hands are rough and thin like shinji's. And Akihiko is way too confused and angry to be this turned on. (Reply to this) (Parent)

yyyyeah. Like, the argument that people will "identify" with Yukari the most because she is nervous and unsure (while sort of a weak argument in the first place, I feel) goes right out the window when Yukari becomes an unreasonable self-centered bitch, lashing out at the people around her who have also been hurt. Not many people willing to say "yeah, that's so me." >->

on the other hand. AKI going "h-hi! ^//////^ I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO HIT ON GIRLS" is super, super adorable.

	I think the idea that I'm supposed to like her best predisposes me against her even worse, actually. I was so annoyed when we couldn't get rid of her during the sex-pollen episode. I KNOW, SO CUTE. loves aki like crazy (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It was too bad that nervous and unsure ended up looking like whiny and spoiled, wasn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You mean it took you this long? Yukari had started out reasonably okay, but then she got more and more psycho it seemed. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Well... for a while it was just sort of "oh hon, your jealousy's showing. How tacky." But when she started blaming Mitsuru (who I love like helpless adoration, for the record) moments after learning that Mitsuru's family mostly got blown up and after that she was handed over by the remnants to be tortured into artificially creating a persona? ;lakhdg;alshgdasg FAIL.

By the time we got to the beach, well... gale says it.

Yeah. I tend to wonder if it's deliberate, though. I mean, Aigis comes in so late that you think that Yukari is supposed to be the main romantic lead (because most rpg games have one) and she IS the easiest of the SEES girls to get. But then to make Aigis the primary, they made Yukari so annoying and stupid that you can't help but get annoyed by her.

And that reminds me. There is far too little adoration of the main character. There needs to be more main character love.
