My biggest problem with Persona 4 is the teens are literally incapable of articulating the real issue with any of the antagonists proposed issues. They basically just go "shut up friendless loser" instead of dismantling the idea itself. They lose intellectually and then just use force to win.

Also Marie is forced as fuck and provides literally nothing. You don't get anything permanent from her dungeon, either. Her entire existence is to lampshade the true culprit for the casual fags who can't pay attention.
