Yeah, I was kinda surprised how kind and responsible she was about Ren, she won’t let him drink but he’s always welcome and won’t let Ohya be a bad influence, and considering the part of the city their in where shadier stuff tends to happen, she is probably one of the nicest characters funnily enough 😂

Not joking

[@persona4cat]

Seriously

[@segiraldovi]

The problem is not that she is younger than Ren (Joker), the problem with Futaba is that she is like a little sister to Joker (they are not related). Her confidant missions are like teaching your isolated brother/sister how to interact outside their bedrooms (I can relate), they don't handle romance at all. Yoshizawa was written to be Ren's canon girlfriend (Although I would have preferred her to be FeMC)

[@mostlyjovial]

@@segiraldoviI see this argument constantly and it really frustrates me to see how people either see a waifu or a sister with no clue about how her confidant is actually intended to be interpreted. At the end of the day it’s up to the player to interpret, it’s great that you see it that way but others see it as helping a girl who only trusts you (Ren/the player) and her surrogate father enough to be around, and your attempts to help her come out of that shell. Only for her to confess that she still prefers hanging out with the player over others. It’s not inherently leaning one way or the other. She isn’t intended to be your sister, but she also isn’t written as a blatant love interest like Makoto or Ann. I appreciate that about her confidant but hearing this argument is frustrating because it’s so bloody subjective an opinion.

[@VentusFury]

Always funny that Futaba did get "left behind" in grading only for that. She is a damn genius after all

[@raziel2499]

@@thatguysho227 That's also something people are getting wrong pretty often. She isn't Joker's little sister (not even half-sister). They aren't even related in any way. She is the adoptive daughter of Sojiro, the dude who took you in after a customer of his recommended Joker's parents to send him to Sojiro for his probation. And even though Sojiro does initially isn't totally thrilled of Ren dating his daughter, he doesn't mind it either (he even supports it later on). Now, *all that doesn't mean an individual player isn't allowed to see her as a sister character despite no family ties* . But nobody should judge anyone for dating her in the game. Especially since it's actually more appropriate for Ren to date her than any of the adults (like your homeroom teacher). You know, since Ren himself is a minor and only a year older than Futaba.

[@MrBeanzies]

​@@thatguysho227 I'm happy to see someone else gets it. I also feel weird about Haru because even it feels like Joker is just a rebound after a shit relationship her father forced her in. And Ann feels like too much of the group eyecandy to do anything with.

[@raziel2499]

@@thatguysho227 To reassure you, I did read the "basically" in your response. Hence why I said "people" (since it's a common misconception) and not "you". I apologize if it somehow implied an insult. But I still stand by the opinion that nobody shouldn't be judged for the whole dating debate. If you or others think it's weird, hey, that's no problem. If you think it's normal/okay, that's also valid. As long as both sides aren't going to be a d**k about it, everyone should be fine. About Sojiro: I'm not a hundred percent sure if we can call Joker his surrogate son. He cares deeply about him later on, "seeing himself in him" as he answers Yusuke question about why he took him in, that's for sure, so one could interpret it that way. But he never actually states it directly. At Rank 10 he does asks you not to date Futaba, due to being called "Dad" by Joker being weird but in the very next sentence he basically admits that this maybe wouldn't be that bad. I personally interpret it as, if they were to marry later in life, but don't take my word alone for it. Also, it being disrepectful really depends on how one does view it. I mean, both parties of the relationship in question agreed on their own volition to this, and I'm sure Sojiro himself isn't the person to dictate who his daughter dates, as long as they aren't a bad influence and/or dangerous. And to elaborate on the adult thing: I just wanted to hammer down again on the age debate. I mean, in comparison, it would be more normal for Joker (a minor) to date Futaba (also a minor with an age difference of one year) than *any* of the adults. Personally, I couldn't care less about who others dated in their playthroughs.

[@kyoko-kokoro]

Has nothing to do with age. If we use that argument then the jail loli twins are possibly thousands of years old, and that's stupid. It's about how they are depicted. And futaba is depicted as a younger sister who's on the spectrum.

[@renaki2870]

@@kyoko-kokoro Dude… the lolis inside Joker’s head being thousands of years old isn’t comparable to a REAL HUMAN who’s actually 15… Of course the twins don’t age normally. And for the record, just because Futaba acts more childish doesn’t mean she’s any less mentally mature than Sumire. It’s Persona, so all characters show some level of maturity at some point.

People say no to futaba bc she’s young? Bruh sumi is the same age. You don’t need to make reasons for why you don’t like them

[@branlopgar]

Not only because she's young, but because she acts young. As, a lot younger than 15. Granted, she has valid reasons to do so, but still. Sumire does act her age, and she also has traumas to heal from. Joker is 16, and there is nothing wrong with dating one year down. And because Sojiro trusts you to care for her, while explicitly stating he cares for both Joker and Futaba as his kids. So, while not legally or by blood, there is that little sis-like bond with her and it is indeed weird to date her.

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

@@branlopgar And Futaba doesn't have trauma to heal from? At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. They're not real people and it's a game, not real life. It doesn't matter how old they look, or what their "age" is because it's just a made-up number for a made-up character, and many anime styled characters look young anyway.

[@JoseSanchez-fk9dg]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@branlopgarexcept neither Futaba or Sojiro consider Ren family heck in strikers when someone refers to her as Ren sister Futaba is weirded out because she does not view him as a brother but a friend. Futaba also acts her age that being teenagers have various levels of independence and behavior do to how they were raised with some acting like adults such as Makoto and her sister when she was a teenager and other being more immature like Futaba Ryuji and Yusuke. But at the end of the day all the do no how when to be good and when to take it serious. In contrast Sumire is a depressed suicidal mess of a girl who has all her problems magiced away and when it all comes crashing down she over it in less than a week, despite having a massive inferiority complex self hate issue do to being the cause of her sister death and jealousy about her sister. Sumire is not more mature than Futaba she never confronts her issue or gradually changes. She starts out depressed and jealous is fixed by Maruki is back to depressed and after a single pep talk is back to normal because this isn’t her story is Akechi and Maruki so don’t think about how her recovery makes no sense and the fact she reverts to her sister confidant personality just consume the rerelease waifu that was poorly created.
