God, I played 4 pretty late but that sounds obtuse as fuck.

I wonder how the experience finding the culprit was different for people playing Golden as their first playthrough.

Speaking as someone who saw a Golden playthrough first, Adachi did seem like the only possible option.

The Culprit from 4 was gonna Dojima at one point, but it was changed towards the end of Development because of how messed up the idea really was when the dev team thought about it, so Adachi, who was originally just a sidekick, was made the actual killer instead.

You have a source on that ?

That's a very interesting thing to know but it also sounds like the kind of thing that would get made up by someone and then be repeated until it's assumed to be true.

[up][up]For whatever it's worth, IIRC the spoilered character was my first guess, as it was the first person I found while scrolling through the list of options that actually fit all the requirements.

It helps that, if you play the original Persona 4, it's really easy to guess that Adachi is the culprit because you can safely cross out Social Link characters and despite showing up frequently, he isn't a Social Link.

Aka the reason why the traitor's so easy to guess. A mystery is no longer a mystery if there's only one culprit.

Yeah but how easy was it to figure out that you should go to the table and figure out the gas station worker? Both of those sound pretty obtuse.

@yumil: Its in Persona 4 Golden's concept art gallery you unlock after you win.

Him constantly telling Adachi to shut up about the case was originally supposed to be a hint at this, too.

Cops aren't supposed to share information about ongoing investigations with civilians. Always just figured that was Dojima being a good cop.

Do we know what Dojima's motive was supposed to be originally?

Both of those sound pretty obtuse.

Not really, the Gas station attendant was suspicious from the word go and made even more clear in golden as you could find him on rainy days spreading rumors. The fact that they wernt on the list for the 'killer' was a pretty clear giveaway. And the game gives you a LOT of hints that final day that the game is not done, like direct hints, Golden also leaves a lot of unanswered questions with what happened to Marie which directly spells out its not over.

I still say that Dojima has too much in the finished product to make him suspicious. Him being absent all the time and a pretty irresponsible dad doesn't give him any father of the year prizes in my book. His reaction to getting that letter also feels weird.

I like the part at the end if yhe trailer where Morgana and Ryuji together shout petty insults at an unseen character. That catches their dynamic more than their "rivalry" in P5 itself.

I wouldn't call their relationship a rivalry, just animosity. They weren't really competing with each other in anything.

Which makes sense. Ryuji is somewhat reminiscent of both Junpei and Yosuke, but Morgana is actually part of the Magician Arcana just like the former two.

True. Another thing about Ryuji is that he doesn't have a tragic girlfriend.

With time, Ryuji's leg will fully heal. Morgana however knows that as a house cat, he has no chance of being with Ann. Then again, the Yuri Fans would prefer to pair her with Shiho.

Random thought: Am I the only person who really hate the way Elizabeth treats Theo in Q/Q2?

Speaking as someone who used to bully a younger sibling, I didn't find it funny at all, and it really brought back some unpleasant memories.

One note personality quirks is part and parcel for Persona spinoffs.

Maybe Royal will break the curse.
