megaten for the ask meme!
blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)
Aleph. Aleph, my beloved. He's my best friend, he's my pal, he's my homeboy, my rotten soldier, my sweet cheese, my good time boy. I want to turn him into a marketable plushie. I want to see him dance. I want to paint his nails. I want to give him apple juice.
I just think he's such a fun protagonist with a lot of little quirks you can tell the dev team had such fun throwing in.
Aleph SMT II. My beloved little guy. In All His Forms.
scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)
hee-ho! Not gonna lie, Jack Frost, although cliche, kind of wins here. I think it's just because of how much he looks like a marketable plushie.
I also think that Isabeau SMT IV is way too adorable for all this shit and deserves better.
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)
JIMENEZZZZZZZZ. LET'S GOOOOO. I'll excuse ANY of Jimenez's crimes. He was right. He was right, okay? He was so valid for doing what he did. Plus he's kind of - he hits different. ESPECIALLY when he's got his shirt off in that one form. And I think the fact that one of his routes literally ends with giving the protagonist a ring (from what I can remember) is so fun? Love wins. Plus his voice acting in Strange Journey Redux is pretty solid.
Double hot take: I like Zelenin as well. Strange Journey was the first Megaten I started out with please don't kill me
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)
Now I'm not saying Heat was right for the cannibalism, but I am saying that he looked good doing it, and that's what counts. I also am strangely hooked on Crispin Freeman's voice acting for him in the English dub. It sort of activates Pop Rocks in my brain. His writing in QDS is also deeply fascinating to read through? You get what I mean.
Also, Jenna Angel, because she's gender as fuck.
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)
Jyoji Hijiri. I love the theory surrounding him, I love his design, I think he's a really believable character caught up in all kinds of bullshit and I am so utterly sad about his fate that I can't even convey it. I want to give him a bushel of grapes and tell him everything's going to be just fine. He's also just the tiniest bit pathetic and I love him.
Also unpopular hot take, but I really do like Dazai and Abdiel and thought they were a really fun team + fun dynamic to see, even if Dazai's design ended up having him looking like he was going Super Saiyan.
horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)
ah, Isamu SMT III, come to my cellar to taste this cask of Amontillado I just got in! you certainly won't get put behind a wall and made to suffer humiliations, nosiree-
eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)
I know Persona's only a spinoff of Megaten, but that fucking old-ass crusty-ass Crypt-keeper-lookin' ass coward bastard bespectacled two-timing back-stabbing Chairman of SEES piece of shit that reminds me so fucking much of my abuser is going straight to Super Hell, in the Hell Corner, and never coming out ever the fuck again.
