Even though P4 was better at least more than half of P3's main cast didn't make me want to deck them in the fucking face. Junpei was a fantastic sidekick, he acted like a human being. When he was a dick he responds like a human being does, "Dude I'm sorry I was a dick, can you forgive me?" AND THEN ALL IS FORGIVEN. Junpei doesn't even drag you into shit half of the time.
Now Yosuke, the supposed sidekick character is just horrible. You are automatically punished with him by association. And I can see why, Yosuke does so much shit that everyone should hate him and rightfully so. Chie's rage at him, him being such a loser, Yukiko slapping him, and Teddie just being an ass to him. Yosuke deserved every bit of it. Then the game has the nerve to not give you an option to just punch him in the face everytime he does something stupid. I can't understand how Atlus thought he was a good enough character to warrant not being able to punch him in the face. The faggot literally drags you into everything you don't want to do.
Here's some examples...
"HEY, YOU'RE GOING INTO THE TV WITH ME!"
He's demanding.
"HEY. RISE IS SOOOOO KAWAII!"
He's a fanboy.
"HEY! LET'S HAVE THE GIRLS DO THE COOKING, BECAUSE ALL GIRLS CAN COOK!"
He's a sexist.
"HEY, LET'S GUILT TRIP THE GIRLS INTO WEARING BATHING SUITS AND THEN BE PERVERTS TOWARDS THEM! BECAUSE WE'RE TOTALLY NOT STANDING IN FRONT OF THE EDGE OF THE GROUND IN FRONT OF COLD WATER!"
He's a perverted bastard who deserves to die.
"HEY, LET'S MAKE FUN OF KANJI'S ATTRACTION TO A CERTAIN SEX AND NOT EXPECT HIM TO GO NUTS!"
He's a homophobe.
"HEY, LET'S HAVE US DECIDED WHAT GIRLS WE'RE GONNA GO WITH DESPITE THE FACT TEDDIE IS AN IDIOT WHO THINKS HE CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING!"
He's fucking retarded.
"HEY, LET'S SIGN UP THE GIRLS FOR THE BEAUTY PAGEANT BECAUSE THIS WON'T HAVE ANY REPERCUSSIONS LATER!"
He's an asshole.
"HEY, LET'S GET MAD AT THE GIRLS FOR SIGNING US UP, BECAUSE THIS TOTALLY WASN'T COMING!"
He's far too self-absorbed.
"HEY, LET'S THROW A MAN INTO A TV BECAUSE WE TOTALLY HAVE THE EVIDENCE TO BACK UP THAT HE"S BEEN KILLING PEOPLE!"
He's a potential murderer.
Fact is, I don't know what faggots down at Atlus thought this character was a good idea but they need to have their pay halved for this bullshit.
