Who's Persona 3's best social link and why is it Mitsuru?

>>723019568 (OP)
Mitsuru is the hottest in the main game but her S. Link is worse than Yukari's

Ann is the best

>>723020593
Aigis built for remodeling

>>723020285
Fair enough, but I still prefer Mitsuru personally...

>>723019568 (OP)
do you think they stink?

>>723021151
no, they probably smell like lavender or something similar

for me, its Rise Delphine

>>723019568 (OP)
Mitsuru is extremely cute and socially retarded and autistic which adds to her cuteness.

>>723019568 (OP)
I can easily understand liking Mitsuru the most, but her Social Link is one of the worst and it's delusional to think it's even good much less the best.

Akinari has the best Social Link of all by far and Yukari's is the best among the girls, all of whose suck at least in part by the way.

>>723021151
You tell me

Put some socks on.

k

>>723019568 (OP)
Aigis’ is the best one, but Mitsuru’s is better than I remember. Since you can only be a cheater, I didn’t really do any female links aside from Yukari and Aigis before Reload. I had seen the others mostly through youtube and had kinda forgotten the details, but maxed everyone out in Reload. Chihiro’s is under appreciated too. I imagine the non-party members had even less attention before.

>>723019568 (OP)
why the toe rings?

>>723022238
Socks are superior to barefeet.

>>723022496
Cause she knows we stare

>>723022531
hard disagree. they're still good tho

>>723019568 (OP)
It's Akinari's, though

Are all great
I love Fuuka('s) but they scuffed her link in Reload, it's a real shame

Based

>>723022692
Keep posting even if you disagree.

>>723022531
disagree. Barefeet is so much better and lickable. Socks are nice but it's a downgrade

>>723020285
iirc Yukari's is just constantly going to hang out then she gets upset and leaves each time.

>>723023284
we love tsunderes here

>>723022857
>they scuffed her link in Reload
how

>>723022857
I don’t remember any difference in her link. Or is this a Portable script change moment where the characters sometimes get overly descriptive.

>>723024332
The link is about Fuuka building up her self-esteem, and it's not just with her cooking and her hobbies, before Reload it was also with her having the courage to flirt with you, despite her nerves she's willing to take that chance because your optimism (at least the optimist she thinks you are) inspires her to try
Then in Reload because romances are now optional, all of that is cut out and replaced with a rank 9 where she doesn't even realise she likes you and you have to tell her she does, which misses the point somewhat and makes the romance more hollow than Persona romances already are
Also they removed the scene where you can hug her, the Reload version of the event in >>723022857 removed her blush, and she doesn't even make the cum joke in her security camera footage scene
But, Reload did include some handholding at rank 10 so it's not completely worse, just 95% worse
>>723024920
Even with Portable's script, the fact that Fuuka is just climbing on the jungle gym instead of being trapped inside it is something a human being could've inferred, but somehow the writers/animators of Reload screwed that up too

>>723025187

We can't have girls in Persona saying they like something in a "guy". The implications are weird and it gives off the idea that they already have some experience (or preferences) or would like to have it without player's presence in their lives.

>no tickling
genuinely what is the point

>>723025187
Reload often walks a tightrope in order to satisfy all the demands people had. It’s not a horrible remake, but it’s also the kind where they meddled with the nature of game to make certain complainers happy.
I see why friendship was something people begged for, but it wasn’t designed for that. It’s not as easy to change as more technical gameplay mechanics. And even in that case, the point ends up muddied in some areas. NPC dialogue still exists referencing being an effective leader, or being careful about not overworking yourself. But this doesn’t really mean the same thing anymore.

>>723020295
She has the second worst social link after Makoto but she is the best PT girl

>>723025187
Oh yeah they also gave her smell line in rank 10 to Ken's coffee hangout for some reason

She also was one of the only characters who only used her angry portrait exactly once in the entire game, not just because she's hard to anger but because she has difficulty expressing her emotions (per the artbook), Reload made her much more expressive (which isn't totally bad, she's fucking deadpan when you revive after the Nyx fight originally which is off-putting so it's nice she feels something) while also normalising her expressions (no more weird cross-eyes)
It made her rejection scene (also taken out of Reload) interesting because she's entirely deadpan throughout, because one of the things she has trouble expressing the most is being hurt like that
>>723025519
I don't think there's anything wrong with the girls having preferences, hell it's practically built in with the stat requirements, Fuuka likes courage, Yukari likes charm, Mitsuru likes smarts
I never interpreted it as her possibly having experience either, she's a wallflower who has ideas about relationships because she barely has any real relationships, sort of like Chihiro only less manga-based, you and Junpei are the first guys to pay any real attention to her
>>723025837
Yeah, there's good and bad
>But this doesn’t really mean the same thing anymore.
My favourite example of this is how you can still preview the track and art clubs, which is a function that only made sense when you could choose clubs so previewing them meant you could make an informed choice
Now it's just a dumb time wasting placeholder, really bizarre
I do miss kendo and photography
