Doe (Persona Q 2: New Cinema Labyrinth) Propaganda:
Wasn't sure how to categorize his name because it's just "Doe" but there IS an in game conversation about how it's specifically derived from John Doe so? Anyway he's a weird silly guy and also very plot important in the story of Hikari 8) I like him he's weird
John Doe (Milgram) Propaganda:
well atp hes prolly not gonna be forgiven in the trials so hopefully he can at least get farther in this

Mod Bias pick, but can you blame me? Jazz is one of my favorite genres of music and it SLAPS. It's energetic, it has all the singers getting together, it's got references to Robert Frost of all people, it has a rapping Kamoshida that doesn't actually move his mouth, what more can you want from an OP?
Mod's Satement:
To be honest I wasn't expecting either of the Q games to make it this far but LET'S GO PEOPLE CHIBI SWEEP
Heartful Cry
The fact that it's Aigis theme song and the context of the song being so sad
Mod's Statement
I'm gonna have to watch an LP of The Answer when I finish P3 Reload, aren't I?
Persona Q2 for the Phantom Thieves can be summed up in one song title parody; Trapped In A Movie Theater With Someone You Don’t Want To Be Trapped In A Movie Theater With. (reference)
I know it’s because Persona Q2 doesn’t want to spoil things for people who haven’t finished Persona 5, but god I wish they utilized the fact that the Phantom Thieves have all been trapped in this theater at a time when Akechi is going to murder their leader in like a week, and they all collectively are pretending they don’t know this.
It’s just so much lost comedy and tension potential here to have them dance around the whole thing, and it’s a huge lost opportunity considering the original PQ had tons of ironic foreshadowing surrounding Minato and Shinjiro’s situations.
(The future of Twitter is...weird, right now, so I'm moving a bunch of my Ryu Number stuff here. If this isn't your dig, I apologize in advance. I'm making and updating a lot of these images as I go along, so it shouldn't clog up your feed too badly.)
The Super Best Friends Play were a group of folks on YouTube who played video games, as groups of folks on YouTube do. At least two members of the Super Best Friends Play have Ryu Numbers.
Whether Patrick Boivin has a Ryu Number or not depends on whether you count the cameo appearances in Lisa: The Painful (e.g., whether you're alright with counting Slave Lord Jim as an appearance of James Stephanie Sterling). If you do count these cameos, Patrick Boivin has a Ryu Number of at most 3.
Following the same route, Matthew Kowalewski has a Ryu Number of at most 3 as well.
However, if those cameos aren't to your liking, a much more solid alternate route gives Matthew Kowalewski a Ryu Number of at most 4.
Using this route, Woolie Madden also has a Ryu Number of at most 4.
(Madden apparently has a cameo in ULTRAKILL that would give him a Ryu Number of 2, but that game's in early access so I've decided that Doesn't Count. Yet. Feel free to hootenholler at me once that's dropped proper, though.)
The P5 Cast and the P3P Heroine ended up in Kamoshidaman, a superhero movie that represents Hikari’s resentment of being accused of killing a class rabbit by her elementary school teacher.
The P4 Cast ended up in Junessic Land, a dinosaur movie that represents Hikari’s alienation by her middle school friends because of their selfish reasons.
The P3 Cast ended up in A.I.G.I.S., a sci-fi movie that represents the rejection Hikari’s desire of being a film director by her own relatives. Except Hikari’s father who supports her...
And the fourth movie is a musical based on Hikari’s emotionally, traumatizing past memories that gave birth to the last three cognitive movies.

So, our fav Persona characters from Personas 3-5 were all dragged from their original worlds and timelines (given the fact they shared the same world/universe or anything) as bait being lured into Hikari’s Theater in the Theater District, Enlil’s domain in the collective unconsciousness, where the movies they ended up are all cognitive worlds created by Hikari’s heart, an Akashic Record of her negative thoughts (i.e., negative films).
In short, they were pawns who dutifully played their role, just like in the previous game!?
