Not Currying My Favor
Strain42 on June 16, 2011
As far as the game goes, this is probably my least favorite scene. Not just this scene on its own, but most of the camp out in general. This is the scene that unlocked my hatred of Yosuke. This is the scene that made me go “Wow, Yosuke is a douche” and then made me look back at all the other stuff he's done, as well as pay more attention to the stuff he did in the future, most of which served to give evidence to my “Yosuke's a douche” theory (which I know many of you don't share, and that's fine)
I hated listening to him during this scene, whenever I thought he was going to stop talking, he just kept going on and on and on (I'm aware of the hypocrisy here…) and so I knew when doing this scene as a comic, I wanted to showcase that the curry was bad, but see if I could make Yosuke funny without turning him into an asshole. The result was this.
Interesting side note. I posted this comic on GameFAQs once several months before the first comic even went up when we were having a discussion about this scene.
Most people told me that they liked this comic better than what had actually happened, and that they wish the game had done it more like this than having Yosuke throw a world class hissy fit.
Another side note regarding Hiimdaisys comic…I love “and no one ate dinner that night” I do still quote that sometimes around friends and family :P

Yosuke's problem is just that he doesn't want a boring, normal life, so he tries to be....... Dramatic comic relief? I'm not sure what he is really.

That's it. Silent panels are my favorites (together with the skip ones).

Frankly, I like Yosuke, but I can see how you hate him. He gets on my nerves smometimes, but I still like him. I actually like this scene in the game because I was like,"Oh, Yosuke. You little drama queen!" But I like your take on the scene the most.

This was one of my favorite scenes, I even made a save to go back to. Which I did. Ken was kinda annoyin, but Youske is the epitomy of a tragedy. I felt his words appropriate here.

I was expecting tears to come out of Yosuke's eyes

Sometimes I think I'm the only one who likes (or at least has a fair opinion of) everyone. Everyone has their stupid moments and everyone has their good moments. As for everybody having a character they dislike, a lot of people on LJ's P3 community said they didn't like Junpei or Yukari until P3P came out. (By the way, I made an account just to post here)

...The campout is really when I started feeling that Yosuke was cool...

Darth Xelleon: Actually, Junpei's managed to earn himself a sizable hatedom in my gaming group. Also, it's not so much that everyone hated Ken as much as everyone liked Shinjiro. Strain42: I hate Yosuke too. You're not alone, man.

Interestingly, with P3, just about everybody hated Ken, but for P4 there's more of a division. You hate Youske, I hate Teddie, somebody else hates Naoto or Kanji or Rise.
