Is Yuzu in Devil Survivor 2?

Unless all the character art has been lying to us, no. Plenty of other females with enormous chests, though.

I think the reason the female characters' breasts levitate is so they appear just above the text window, so you know which gender the characters are.

Ah, yes. Practicality.

I don't really think you can simplify Naoya to that degree. He's not so much an over-petulant manchild as the direct result of the hubris of YHWH, who in the Megaten games is a prick who hungers for as much belief and power as he can get. And for that matter, I don't think you could consider the LAW path good at all in this game, since the bastards are kind of responsible for the whole situation to begin with, pulling the strings and trying to make the world in their own image.

Well, you might have missed it, but Naoya is only in the situation he is in because of his own hubris. He has an out - to admit that he was wrong, repent, and YHVH will let him out of the cycle of reincarnation. But he's too spiteful to ever consider doing so.

It's pretty much a Biblical thing that only blood is capable of washing away sin.

Regardless, 'refusing vegetables as a sacrifice' still ranks way lower in the Dick Move scale than 'murdering your brother'.

Watch the 3DS game be Persona 5 just for maximum troll value.

Also, P4 fighting game sounds either awesome or ridiculous. I wonder just how over-the-top they're going to make the whole thing.

Maybe this is part of a section of the story where the MC returns to the city, and runs into her or something. Probably could happen during one of those slow periods of the plot. That or during the field trip.

In SMT1 the Chaos Hero fuses himself with a demon and retains his personality (at least as far as I've played that was about where I've gotten to)(spoilered even though it's an old game that most people probably won't play even though they should)

Question remains of which demon is the dominant personality, and in any case at least one demon gets shafted.

Personally, I think that the reason that most of the characters revealed in Persona Ultimate are from P4 is because of the upcoming anime and most fans will be more familiar with them because of that that. The reason Aigis is included is because she seems to sell a ridiculous amount of merchandise in Japan compared to other characters. I've even seen people who are familiar with her and buy her figures despite not having even played the game. :psyduck:

There's a level beyond a charcter being merely 'flawed' at which point they become annoying to sit through.

This level tends to be brought even lower in games because the 'flaws' tend to directly lead to problems that you, playing the game, have to solve.

And if the gameplay itself isn't particularly good (The Answer fits that bill), that just makes the problem worse.

I really don't intend to come across as trolling here but what exactly is it about Persona 4 Golden which has you guys all excited? All I see so far is a new character that doesn't seem to contribute much, bunch of pointless gimmicks that don't add much to the overall game or even make sense and more wacky anime stuff that didn't seem particularly amusing in the main game in the first place.

I just don't really get it. Mopeds, a Demon's Souls style messaging system in dungeons that never really needed it to begin with and gardening were the last things on my mind when I think of what could be added to improve Persona 4. What I thought could be improved was the shoddy storytelling, the annoying characters and that S.Link with the fox, things which got in the way of an otherwise fun game. I was hoping the port would have fixed some of that or at the very least, added a whole new route throughout the game.

Instead we're getting... things I never even considered and seem kind of pointless to me personally.

Well, these sort of things don't get changed in ports anyway. So hoping for those would be pretty pointless, regardless of whether or not you like the other additions.
