This perfectly sums up why I couldn’t get into Persona beyond the music. The characters don’t feel even remotely real, just purely fiction. No one reacts normally or intuitively. I have a hard enough time figuring out what thing to say at what time for people to begin with. In Persona those rules are out the window and I got so frustrated second guessing what they’d react like.
It’s like they expect you to put on a mask and behave in a way that best fits the situation and adopt a different, uh, persona for the situation. But, like, not just in combat. Which is really weird, especially with all the themes of masks (5), shape shifting (5), negotiating differently with different demon types (series-wide), shadow selves (4), evoker symbolism (3), etc.
