Persona followers are passionate concerning the sequence’ numerous celebration members. This is partly because of the dozens upon dozens of hours we spend with these schoolmates. Our digital anime mates. I carried Morgana the cat round my bag for a yr, so he may as nicely be actual. As anticipated, then, when Atlus launched the outcomes of a personality reputation ballot for Persona 5 not too long ago, followers understandably had some robust reactions, notably over the putting of greatest boy Ryuji.
Conducted by Atlus’ Southeast Asia division, the poll ranked the ten celebration members in Persona 5 Royal primarily based on their reputation, with our primary hero Joker at first place. Late-game addition Haru, in the meantime, is on the backside of the pack, which is comprehensible since gamers don’t spend as a lot time along with her in most playthroughs. However, it was Ryuji’s ninth place place that left the RPS morning assembly rightly agasp, contemplating he’s my best- I imply, Joker’s greatest pal. Maybe Ryuji’s charismatic English VA contributed to the character’s reputation within the West?
Surprisingly, your whole different early-game celebration members didn’t make the highest 5 within the ballot, with Anne, Yusuke, and Morgana rounding out the underside of the listing. I assume individuals had been uninterested in them after 100 hours (give or take.) Makoto at second place isn’t any shock as she’s been a fan-favourite for the reason that base game’s launch in 2017. The solely different head-scratcher was Joker’s rank in first place. Isn’t voting for a semi-silent protagonist the identical factor as voting for your self? If so, congratulations to you, the reader, for successful Persona 5 Royal’s character ballot.
The RPS Treehouse cherished Persona 5 Royal when it arrived on PC final yr. It even made it into our favorite PC games of 2022 listing. Its predecessor, Persona 4 Golden, is simply as endearing, too, even when it’s a fairly barebones port. Persona 3 Portable can be heading to PC on January nineteenth, at which level all three of Atlus’ most up-to-date Persona games might be out there on PC Game Pass.
