Also that problem you have with the overpraising of Makoto is unfortunately a quite common trope in Japanese media that I've noticed in anime too. Persona does have a few missteps with the writing that I wish I could improve, but overall it is pretty much the only "traditional" turn based jrpg I'll ever play now. Or jrpg in general besides Ys. I haven't liked anything else, with most of the recent jrpgs neither improving in story/gameplay/writing from the 90s/early 2000s era and if anything, regressing. With only 1 or 2 standouts I can recall off the top of my head.

And I really wish they handled the Ryuji/Morgana thing much better. It came off entirely mean-spirited and unappealing and a better approach would have been "friends ribbing each other" where they include scenes like if someone else started to rag on Morgana, Ryuji would immediately leap to defend him like in a sort of older brother role, or a scene where morgana rescues Ryuji from some danger scenario in a "show don't tell" that he cares sort of way which makes their constant bickering actually charming and not off-putting.

Are you implying you like Haru most? She appears so late game and in what many describe as the worst arc because of the above so that's rather surprising. I was hoping for someone sassier when I saw her in the original P5 intro and she was quite bland to be frank. Honestly the characters this time around weren't as strong as the previous game's but P5 makes up for it by just oozing style from every corner. And the music. Good god the music. Topping P3 and 4 seemed nigh impossible. Loved this game's soundtrack.
