I won’t lie I was too young to see this game. So I hope that maybe someone can explain it to me as I just frankly don’t understand.Īs for a final note to context of why I ask, persona 4 is my favorite games of all time and it really clicked with me the first time I ever seen it. It’s not like it’s a “I’m too young I wish I were older so I can show my stuff.” I can see the difference between rise who wants to take a break from showbiz and her shadow, but I just don’t understand her wants and I really wish it were fleshed out more. Now finally rise: wants to show her stuff. He’s a sad reality of what happens to genuine real people who’ve lost all touch with other humans He doesn’t value life or anything and simply does as he pleases. Namatame: it’s been a few years so sadly I can’t remember to say muchĪdachi: from what many analytical videos have said, he finds the entire world a chore and pointless. Naoto: feels held down by society because of her sex and wishes she were male so that she could be treated as equal and no longer seen as a “child.” I’ll won’t be the first to say that I don’t understand gender stuff irl, but i always appreciated her story as I found it completely realistic. Sorry I can’t remember so I’ll just fill in by saying “irrelevant cry baby” Gamer kid: yea it’s been a few years and this is always the most forgettable part. Honestly this seems to have a lot of interpretations judging from his shadow that I think leads to really interesting discussions. Teddie: is at a loss for what his true identity is. Plus I think kanji’s one of the most memorable shadows so it needs no explanation) Kinda off topic but I thought it’s an interesting fact. Kanji: confused sexual feelings (note the localization team directly considers him gay, and told Troy baker to make the character gay.

Tired of her life and feeling as if she’s completely bounded. Yukiko: wants to break free and be taken away by someone, Chie, anyone really. Yea wanted others to come crawling for your needs is something I can see becoming reality if it’s strong enough. To the point where she wants yukiko to come to her aid for her own almost superhero mentality. I can see the realism of not valuing your surroundings and finding all of it a drag.Ĭhie: secretly wants to completely be depended on. I’d say it’s a hard reality but it’s realistic. Yosuke: see’s the country side as a chore and is only interested in the murders to tone his curiosity. To me every other character makes sense to me. Like the title suggests I’m relatively confused by the motives of rise personally.
