I don't know if this is well known yet but if you stall for about 23 turns in the Tenna fight then there's special dialogue.

does anyone else get, like, jealous when a fictional character dates or has a crush on another character?

... no? just me?

[8thnotehao]

Zenkichi's a really valid choice actually. AGREE AGREE AGREE. Great character all in all with a great arc. Perfectly tilting on that morally gray scale and love how the conflict with him plays out. (Although strikers is a whole lot less realistic than vanilla so I do tend to go easier on my criticism there)

While I can see what you mean with your reasoning on why Makoto is last, I'd argue that what she's thinking isn't "I have to help my sister with this very dangerous criminal to not disappoint her", I believe it goes more through frustration. She chose the target, yes. But she was never supposed to be involved directly, the only reason why she even became involved was because the phantom theives were going nowhere. Weeks had passed, more pressure was added, not to mention Sae started becoming more aggressive and cold to her again. In the grand scheme of things, I'd consider her a very realistic character, we'd already been shown that she was willing to do anything for what she believed even before that, imo. Besides even before that, it wasn't just about being pressured to do well in school, she also dealt with feeling useless, her principal literally forcing her to do a criminal investigation (which while hard to digest at first, actually makes sense. We have multiple student detectives in the world, and Makoto already has a reputation being Sae's sister, and he knows she'd do anything to prove herself). I guess what I'm saying is just there's a lot there that makes her arc a very realistic pipeline, taking into consideration everything from the beginning to bits of her backstory later down the line.

I guess I could also argue that Sumire could be lower, but that's another long winded opinion that will make me spiral- My bad, I got way too into it 😭 (im not trying to hate- hehe this is just smth that entered my head while reading and I just had to yap)

My Ranking of the Phantom Thieves

Apologies for the very long wait, I was so drained from playing P5R that I decided to take a break.

Now remember this will include P5, P5R, P5S, and P5T that means all the playable characters from those games will be ranked.

I will also like to mention that I love all the characters in these games but I do like certain characters over others.

This will also include spoilers if you have played all of the games listed above so if you have not played them or seen a playthrough of it then I suggest you leave watch a playthrough then comeback.

We are starting from the bottom and going to the top. Remember this is just my opinion if you don't like it that's fine.

14. Makoto Nijima - Queen

I think she is a good character, I just don't think the way she became a phantom thief makes sense. She was being pressured by her principal and sister to be a perfect student/person by getting good grades and go to a good school. Which then somehow turns into "I want to help my sister with a very dangerous criminal with other criminals because I don't want to disappoint her." Kaneshiro had nothing to do with at all until Makoto went to find him. I am not saying that Kaneshiro's palace doesn't make sense to the plot what I am saying is that Makoto being there doesn't make sense. I think Makoto should have been a later in plot that connects with either Sae or maybe even the Principal if he didn't die since the Principal knew what a lot people were doing and had a connection to Shido. It would have made more sense in my opinion if that happened. Overall I like her as a character but the reason and how she joined at that point in the game makes no sense to me.

13. Morgana - Mona

Morgana is also a pretty good character I used him a lot during my playthrough, but I didn't like his "arc" if that is what you want to call it. I think Morgana being a part of Velvet Room is a good idea I just don't think it was executed correctly. That could have dropped more subtle hints throughout the game like Morgana seeing blue butterflies or the farther you went into mementos the more of the door to the Velvet room Morgana can see. I also think Morgana being a car is a cool idea but I also think that he should have been able to change to other vehicles. And before you say that it depends on that person's cognition or the cognition of the people you know how is it could be for Futaba to send a post on the Internet talking about cats turning into certain vehicles and people making memes out of it.

Morgana's potential is what drops him from being any higher than this.

12. Toshiro

Now Toshiro is from Tatica. I love his character throughout the whole game. Considering this game is mainly about him and another character (who will be on here later) he has a great arc from the beginning to the end of the game. The only reason why he is this low is because I like the characters who will be higher on this list better. He goes from hating the phantom thieves to tolerating them to being good friends and saving the world with them.

11. Futaba Sakura - Oracle

I love Futaba so much she is such a gremlin. She is very high up here because I love the idea of her palace coming from a place of grief and blame on herself. I also like the relationship she has with Sojiro the father-daughter dynamic that have is very cute. She also just reminds me a lot of my sister. So maybe I am a little biased.

10. Ann Tamaki - Panther

And Ann starts off our top ten! Just like Morgana I used Ann for a lot of the game. I liked that even though without her parents or very many friends she still was happy with her best friend Shiho. Then once Ann found out what Kamoshida did to Shiho, she wanted to kill him because he hurt her best friend. That will always stick with me. I was also a big fan of her confidant story with the other model girl being jealous of the other models but Ann in the end forgives her.

9. Sumire Yoshizawa - Violet

I actually like Sumire's character throughout the story. You very little about her besides that her sister died and she was a gymnast. Then you get to the third semester and you learn all this stuff about her and her past and despite all of it she still tries to be happy after everything. In strikers I believe someone mentions that Sumire went to a gymnastics training camp for the summer or something like that. She is trying to keep her promise to her sister that she will be the best in the world for the both of them.

8. Yusuke Kitagawa - Fox

Now while I didn't use him much in my P5R playthrough, I did use him a lot in Tatica. Yusuke is a quiet and cold character but once you get to know him better through the story plus his confidant he is really just a big artistic dork/weirdo. Yusuke and Futaba are very similar by the fact that they are introverts it's just they need other people or each other to bring out their weird/goofy side. Yusuke also brings some good points to the table when it comes to strategy. I also just like his love for lobsters.

7. Erina

Erina is the other character from Tatica she is the representation of Toshiro's rebellion in the form of his old friend from middle/high school (I can't quite remember which one it is) Erina is very selfless and cares about everyone the group meets throughout the game. She tries he best to protect everyone from danger. She is very optimistic always hoping for the best outcome which is something that I can relate to.

6. Joker

Joker is one of the better main characters I see. Since I think a lot of his personality comes the choices that you the player makes I didn't want to put him in the top five but I didn't want him below Ann so here we are. Joker no matter what you choose is a big showoff and an overall dork.

5. Goro Akechi - Crow

Akechi is such a passive aggressive person. He also is very intelligent being able to fool almost everyone that he was a good person and not a murderer. His conversations with Joker about what true justice is also made love him even more. Actually all of his conversations with Joker are just good.

4. Haru Okumura - Noir

I like how she loves plants and wants to start a better restaurant with her company. Haru is very shy and quiet but also very compassionate. I like that she took care of Morgana even though at the time she had no clue how Morgana got there in the first place. I also like in some of the strikers dialogue that Haru is also somewhat scary.

3. Ryuji Sakamoto

Ryuji made it this far because he is the goat. He truly had everyone's back during everything. I mean he was the first to figure everything out (sorta) during the third semester and also blocked an attack from an out of control persona. He was a real one day one of the game. Bro even sacrificed himself in Shido's palace just so everyone else could escape. Ryuji is the best member out of the OG Phantom Thieves

2. Sophia - Sophie

I loved Sophia in Strikers. She wanted to be humanity's best companion. Which she succeeded and if anyone tells me otherwise well you're wrong. She is so sweet and just wants to know everything about emotions so she can be a better companion. She learns that there are good and bad people and how the world is not a great place. She understands and still wants to be humanity's companion.

1. Zenkichi Hasegawa - Wolf

I am going to be honest I did not expect Zenkichi to make it this far. I was certain he was going to be top 5 but when I thought about it seemed right to put him here. Zenkichi aka Gramps for the rest of this rant is honestly what I expected when he was introduced. He is reliable and tries to keep the others in the right mindset. He is a dad and wants to make sure his daughter is safe but he also works for law enforcement so he still needs to do things by the book. All in all he tries his best especially for his daughter he wanted to find the man who killed his wife and has being doing that for years. He wanted justice for everyone who got affected by EMMA not just his daughter. I think that is what makes me like him so much.

Thank you for letting me rank the Phantom Thieves. Next time I post I will be ranking the Palaces, Jails, and Kingdoms from each P5 game.

Blizz out!
