I'm playing through Innocent Sin for the third time now before I finally play Eternal Punishment and I'm almost at the scene where you have to choose a 'romance' option for Tatsuya. I know in the grand scheme of things its a pretty minor romance choice as iirc all it really affects is some demon negotiations, but I was wondering who people chose when they played IS for the first time or who they usually go for on multiple playthroughs.

Here's the choices for those who might not remember them well;

latest


Maya Amano
The 'Big Sis' of the group. A cheerful and compassionate woman, she has a strong sisterly bond with Tatsuya.

latest


Lisa Silverman
Tatsuya's classmate. Hot-headed and rebellious, Lisa holds an obvious crush on Tatsuya.

latest


Jun Kurosu
Jun is a warm and caring person who is highly protective of his friends, particularly Tatsuya, whom he had forged a tight bond with since they were children.

latest


Eikichi Mishina

Essentially the 'joke' option of the four. Eikichi is flirtatious, self-centered and completely narcissistic.

For me I always go with Jun. Beyond it being the director's preferred choice (though not the outright canon one), I think it makes the most sense given the overall narrative of Innocent Sin. Who did you go with?

Lisa is the only right choice. Her father is Steven seagull after all.

Your anti-Lisa bias is clear from that description alone!

It's actually copied from the wiki (as are most of them)! I like Lisa a lot and she was my initial choice before I went with Jun.

You are right though that it sounds biased so I changed them all to hopefully be a bit more neutral.

Jun is the only one that makes the story and his arc make a fucking lick of sense instead of some contrived horseshit but the game pushes Lisa onto you p hard

I went with Jun during my first playthrough for the same reasons mentioned in the OP, though I did try to go with Eikichi and was bummed when he basically said "Sorry, but I don't swing that way."

Maya is cool, but I never seen her as a romance option, as it would've been very awkward. For Lisa, she needed a therapist than a boyfriend, given the shit she had gone through.

Jun, because it might as well be the canon choice and the best choice for Tatsuya. If it were me picking the answer would be Maya, but Tatsuya and Maya in the P2 duology are pretty well established characters unlike the rest of the franchise. This isn't a bad thing and in fact is a very good thing, I'm glad it's something different.

OP you're in for a treat when you play Eternal Punishment, it's the best Persona game. I would suggest the PSP version with English fan patch, but the PS1 version is fine. The PSP version of EP fixes one of my biggest gripes with the PSP version of IS: the UI sounds using the PSX version rather than IS PSP's cartoony ass sounds.

Everyone else, you should really #PlayPersona2

I haven't played the game but if I had to pick from a portrait and description I'd probably pick Maya just based on my experience with the other Persona games

I honestly don't even remember this part, it was in the PSP version, right?

I probably picked Lisa or whatever ..... is, partially because I didn't really realize until much later that Jun would also have made a lot of sense. But seriously, I feel like I never saw this dialogue choice.

How was that EP translation patch that came out last year? I heard that the team who was working on their own dropped it once the rushed version came out, so it's the only choice to play the game now.

Jun because that was the canon option.

It's the PS1 version's script patched into the PSP version with cleanup work to match modern Persona styles, and a new translation for the additional content. So... it's fine!

Jun, of course, since he's essentially the "canon" choice.

Slightly off-topic, but I really wish Atlus would remake the P2 duology with more modern SMT/Persona gameplay. Of course, I shall be hoping until my dying breath.
