I think it's just people wanna be different. Like, we all know Inuyasha is gonna end up with Kagoem so why not ship Sesshomaru/Kagome? That's different and requires a bit more creativity on the part of the fanfic writer and so-on.
It certainly would take a creative mind to make Draco/Hermione plausible....
At least it's easy to do a Heel–Face Turn so that he can more easily hook up with people that weren't direct victims of his.
The legend has returned.Ok, still playing P 4 G.
I guess Ren/Akira didn't bother to do his summer homework? Because Yu had to do it and help Nanako every night, in addition to helping out his friend by working at Junes.
I see why max social links requires such a tight schedule. Also, Teddie is such a pervert. But it was kind of mean of Yosuke to leave him with Hanako, even if Teddie showed Yosuke's Porn Stash to his family at breakfast that morning.

Possible, but remember that in Persona 5, Diligence is not a stat for social life. Akira has no reason to invest in it since's he been labeled a criminal.
And on that note, I personally believe that Akira Kurusu is Joker's real name and that the name he has in the anime, Ren Amamiya, is an alias that he decided to use for his probation period.

Joker in general just overall engages a lot less with conventionnal social life than Yu does. He doesn't have any social link based on the school aside from his teammates, Kawakami for reasons that aren't linked to the school, and Takuto now that royale added him. He also regularly uses his phone in class.
Same goes for his jobs. They're a crucial part of Yu's life as several of his social links are tied to it and they're the main activities to undertake in the game, while in 5 you're basically incentivized to show at work twice for each job each and never go back to it, and you don't meet anyone of significance there aside from a flag for tora's confident, and things like his job with Iwai or takemi are undertaken because he wants to connect to the person first and foremost, as opposed to Yu who goes to the job to work and meet people there. In that regard, he's kind of closer from Makoto/Minato as the silent loner, except only for conventionnal social life unlike P3-Kun who was just all around dead inside.
"when you stare too long into the abyss, Xehanort takes advantage of the distraction to break into your house and steal all your shit."I forgot P4 had your party members gain special abilities as their S Links increased like P5.
P3 didn't have that, did it? I don't think it did. That's a pretty big "Quality of Life" improvement and probably one of the many reasons the post-P3 games are generally easier. That and Rise and Futaba being broken as hell compared to poor Fuuka which is more of the same thing. I don't even particularly like Rise or Futaba but I absolutely maxed their S Links for those sweet rewards. Perhaps one reason everybody gives zero shits about Fuuka is that, in addition to just being bland as all hell, you don't even get anything from doing her S Link.

Actually, no, p3 also had that - the follow-up after hitting a weakness,helping with status recovery, taking a fatal blow at 1hp, and protecting you from an attack - all those were in p3 too.
Agreed on fuuka being drastically worse than the other two navigators though.

I'm more grossed if anything by the Femc/Ken stuff you can do in Portable. Like, yeah sure it doesn't go very explicit, but you can romance an 11-year-old.
