Obviously Charlie and Chie are meant to be but what is the canon relationship for Yu? I recently played through P3P and went with the relationship of Minato and Yukari because that is the canon relationship and since Golden comes out in 2 weeks (FUCK YES!!!!) would like to go for the cannon relationship as well. I haven't seen the Animation yet so I don't know if they venture into this subject (I assume so) but is there a definitive partner for Yu?

EDIT: Dammit, Canon not Cannon, my bad

#2 Posted by AltonBrown (840 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Rise, I think.

#3 Posted by Nightriff (2903 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

@AltonBrown: Really? I would've put my money on Yukiko....huh

#4 Posted by Hizang (8536 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Kanji right?

#5 Posted by Viking_Funeral (1076 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Yukiko, if I had to guess. Should be Rise, but meh.

#6 Posted by AltonBrown (840 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago
@Nightriff I'm mainly going off of Rise's arcana. Yukiko'd make more sense, but since when has Persona been about making sense? Also, thanks for reminding me that P4G's coming up! Between it and Zero Escape, it's been a decent couple of months to own a Vita.
#7 Posted by Shirogane (3405 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Nobody? That seems the most likely.

#8 Posted by Wraith1 (498 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

there is no canon relationship

#9 Posted by jking47 (1041 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

So, I am too lazy to photoshop it myself, but just imagine a clever image of Yu making out with a cannon here.

I would be down with this, Kanji is one of the best characters

#11 Posted by Dethfish (3370 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

I'd say if it was anyone it'd be Yukiko just because she's the only one that doesn't have a pretty clear pairing with anyone else. It's Chie/Yosuke, Naoto/Kanji, Rise/Teddie, and Yu/Yukiko.

I would take a stab at that but I need to finish my P4 ER Box Art photoshop before I can make a picture of Yu fucking a cannon....or the other way around

How much trouble would we be in if it was Nanako?

#14 Edited by sungahymn (963 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Unlike Persona 3, there's no girl that canonically has any romantic interactions with the protagonist in P4 (within the main characters, at least).

#15 Posted by Riboflavin (1255 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Who's Yu?

#16 Posted by Riboflavin (1255 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Oh right, hes a new character in P4A

#20 Posted by ArbitraryWater (8995 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Well, he doesn't end up with anyone in the anime, despite some teasing towards a relationship with Rise, so that's probably the answer.

#21 Posted by TheVeteran13 (999 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

I'm 78.694% sure it's supposed to be Rumor-Loving Student.

#22 Posted by david3cm (625 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Funky Student, doi.

#23 Posted by FluxWaveZ (17877 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

No one. But if there has to be one, it's the one of the Lovers arcana: Rise Kujikawa.

#24 Edited by White (843 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

It's Marie.

No I'm serious.

#25 Posted by ImHungry (375 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

I always thought it was Saki Konishi. Like, MC is actually the one that kidnaps her at the start and then keeps her under his mattress right?

Hell. Yes.

#27 Posted by TobbRobb (3316 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

I don't think anyone is canon, but I'd bet on Rise.

Yukiko is obviously the way to go though. :D

#28 Edited by MEATBALL (1991 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

I think I missed the cannon social-link when playing Persona 4, I'm sure it was explosive.

Well, there's no one who fulfills that role in P3 either, right? Even The Answer isn't enough to suggest any romantic involvement with any particular character.

Though, watching this video, I had completely forgotten the heavy implication that the protagonist actually had sex with Elizabeth and that she truly loved him. Makes her devotion to her quest make so much more sense in P4A.

#33 Posted by Nightriff (2903 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

@FluxWaveZ: Wait there is sex in P3? Need to play it again now

#34 Posted by FluxWaveZ (17877 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

@Nightriff: Nothing explicit, obviously. It's just heavy implications akin to the nurse Social Link lvl 2 scene in Persona 4.

#35 Posted by Nightriff (2903 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

@FluxWaveZ: Damn, to get to that point do I have to take her to all those places around town? I fucked that part up

#36 Posted by Hunter5024 (2709 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Fuck Yukiko. It seems like Rise has a crush on Yu whether you go for her or not, so there's more evidence implied there than with any of the other girls, however I do think that they were trying to portray it in a way that didn't guide you towards any one girl specifically, unlike 3.

unlike 3.

What did P3 do differently?

It gave you more emotional scenes between the main character and Yukari, and also let you start building a relationship in the story (not social link) sooner. She's also the only girl of the three main love interests who actually shares a class with you. Mitsuru's pretty closed off from you throughout the whole game unless you do the social link, and Fuuka gets introduced later and most of her emotional scenes don't involve the main character at all. I suppose there is also an argument to be made for Aigis but whatever, she's a robot, robots don't matter.

#39 Edited by Do_The_Manta_Ray (327 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

HIS FUCKING NAME IS "CHARLIE!". God damn it, people. Two pages and not even a mention of this. Yu suck, guys.

Also, Chie.

I stated it in the opening paragraph, did you actually read this?

#41 Edited by MyNiceIceLife (554 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

if i remember correctly, if you are going off the animation it's said that Yu/Charlie is a player (i think it was Margaret that said it in the fortune telling booth at the culture festival), meaning that he doesn't have one girl in particular. so if you go off of that, your only option is to go for all the girls (which is kind of what Vinny and Jeff did but didn't succeed with Naoto).

#42 Posted by ChrisTaran (1276 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Without a doubt it's setup for Yukiko. But I will always choose Chie everytime <3

#43 Posted by TooWalrus (11840 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

I'm pretty sure Yu just hooks up with everybody. Look at that popped collar, he's a player.

#44 Posted by Nightriff (2903 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

@TooWalrus: 10,000 almost there man

Yes, that scene is the last quest for Elizabeth.

#47 Posted by Video_Game_King (29358 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

ALL THE WOMEN!

#48 Posted by Lyfeforce (215 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

Barring any furthering of the storyline from p4 to p4a and beyond, I'm saying Rise because of the Lovers Arcana.

#49 Posted by Petiew (808 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

None. I wouldn't say there's a canon relationship in P3 either. You can make cases for Yukari, Aigis, Elizabeth and even Chihiro.

Yuko is still best girl though.

#50 Posted by Nightriff (2903 posts) - 6 months, 19 days ago

@Petiew: Yuko the best? No
