There's no way Kasumi can ruin Persona 5.

It's terrible just the way it is.

I mean I think saying Persona 5 is "terrible" is a bit of an overstatement. I dislike it but words like that are reserved for games that are unfinished.

Like Final Fantasy XV.

I still enjoy it's style and presentation, and hope that doesn't get lost.

P5 is generally still considered a modern classic that put Atlus on the map, but the honeymoon phase is over so the only people left talking about it are the ones who really like it or the ones who have gripes with it.

Indeed. This gripe is one that was actually imported from Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and was also present in the previous two games, but the main character dying equals a Game Over can get quite irritating.

Well we could always talk shit about P4 but its not getting a new game soon.

I will say there is some reason to have low expectations for Kasumi. She's part of atlus' recent trend of trying to sell a re-release of an old game by adding a new waifu- and according to most people they've all been poorly written and implemented. I never had high expectations of her for this reason.

To be fair, they actually do seem to be trying a bit more this time with this re release.

And at the very least, P3's new waifu was a character that already existed, so all the writers did was make her a Social Link.

Aigis, who got promoted to lead character in the Answer and got a Social Link in FES.

Well Metis is just manifestation of Aigis` ego, so I don't think she counts.

And Aigis herself does have the Aeon Arcana requisite that Marie had.

FES was before the trend started (Marie was the beginning). You could argue that the female main character in P 3 P counts albeit she's different by virtue of well, replacing the main character instead of just being a new waifu.

I wouldn't count Aigis because she already existed in the original Persona 3, but the trend did start with a Persona game. Persona 4 Golden added Marie, and from there is snowballed. Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker added Miyako, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux added Alex, and even Catherine Full Body added Rin. Not all of these have been great, though I personally go Rin > Miyako > Alex > Marie. Where Kasumi falls on that list I won't know until her game comes out, but it'll take effort to be worse than Marie.

I personally like Marie as a character. Her role in the main plot was garbage, but her personality's surprisingly enjoyable.

Incorrect. Tatsuyas Scenario new girl was not poorly written!

Alex is mixed because even though it skews into more exposition than anything, explaining her motives and such in better detail would make more sense, and them wanting to avoid that hampered her role as Lucifer's Time Traveling Half-Human Daughter from the Future with an AI companion.

[up][up][up] Agreed, also I loved the relationship Margret developed with her. A slight older sister dynamic with her trying to get Marie out of her shell.

Also the Poetry was just funny as heck but very telling.

I didn't really mind her overall plot too much though, it was kinda bungled though in the way it was executed though. The order she was introduced was off, being introduced before Izanami. Honestly she should have been a factor in final boss and potentially added a new phase to the fight.

From looks alone, at least Kasumi looks like she'd fit in among the cast. Unlike Marie or Alex, who stick out among the cast.

Hey! alex is a time traveler from an extinct human feature she shouldn't fit in to begin with.
