For a brand new IP, I'm blown away by how much evolution I can see from Atlus in this game. It makes me leagues more excited for their future as a studio.
I mean, Personas MC pretty much have voices outsides of average grunts ingame in later cutscenes, there's no reason for Atlus not to have a personalised voicelines (outside of budget reasons, which didnt matter anymore when theyre currently one of the household name for jrpg in recent years)
I was not expecting to love the entire main cast this much especially considering Atlus' track record (this coming from someone who loves their games). I'm especially blown away by how much personality our self insert MC has. Usually we'd have to wait for the anime for him to get much of any personality.
I just love how Hulkenberg stops dead on her movements when Gallica basically insults her. Like, you can almost hear her thinking "wait did I just hear that? Why?".
Heismay is unreasonably cute for an old bat suffering from alcoholism, also there is the second shouting scene when they are travelling through Montario

“Gallica, please tune it down during the battles! I can’t hear myself think!”
“I love these idiots” - Me after this cutscene ended. 😂
Before playing Metaphor : These characters would probably be boring and bland af
After Metaphor : Okay all of them are idiots
This is literally just four children trying to get the attention of an adult.
I love how Hulkenberg freezes for a second when Strohl and Gallica start to insult her but then decides to strike back with doubled effort.
This edit makes me imagine they just KEPT doing it even when Heismay complained.
Makoto, Sanada, Mitsuru, and a tiny Yukari tries to annoy Koromaru
Alrighty... I wasn't sure if it was a stretch, but i have found another like-minded fool

"GALLICA BE NICER TO ME!"
Having a Protagonist that Speaks out the Options is actually the best game design ever tbh
Edit: Hulken one is my fav lmao
I know right, Atlas needs to do this more often and give us more talking Protagonists in future games.
This is something I wanted for way too long out of Atlus games.
Hopefully Persona 6 is gonna be like this too, i love it so much
I can't really explain why but that is one of my absolute favorite parts is that the MC actually talks. Also Hulken is pretty funny

They are stupid enough to do so.
