Friendzoning Yukari - Persona 3 Reload

This is an interesting perspective compared to Persona 5. In Persona 5 the only girl you actually reject is Sumire (and to some extent Haru) since she is the one who confesses to you first. In all other romantic options Joker is the one who confesses to the girls, and they always accept it. But with the protagonist here the girls are the ones who confess first, giving him the power to reject them or not. Making rejection kind of more painful. But more human I guess.

[@elae4051]

Some of them also take it better than others. I went with Makoto for my most recent Royal playthrough, and of the PT girls, Ann and Futaba take the platonic route well, while Haru doesn't despite being the second oldest of the group. Like I think every girl in 5 takes rejection well except her.

Oh I did this literally 2 hours ago. I was really hesitating when rejecting her, and like 15 or so minutes I looked at these two posssible options and thought about the girl I want to be with. And I chose Mitsuru after all (tho I need to wait around 1 month to just start SL with her), but next time I replay the game I will certainly romance Yukari. She's kinda the most realistic girl in the entire series and I really like her. It was hard to reject this beauty. Huh, and I also remember how I just looked at screen around 30 minutes when rejecting Haru, twice, man. First, I already was with Makoto, and second, I wanted to romance Sumi. Tho third time I played P5 I romanced Haru immediately, so, Yukari, please wait for me just a little while longer!

She says she figured Makoto wasn't into her then cries for joy when Makoto says he tolerates her as a friend. Idk why people are saying this is sad.

[@bananabunch4590]

No, she's trying to reassure Makoto that she'll be okay even when she feels she's been rejected. When you're into someone, not knowing if they like you back or not is like someone squeezing your heart out while you wait in anticipation, just one word from your love interest could either make you or break you. But once their feelings are confirmed, whether the outcome is positive or negative, it's like you're no longer in the dark anymore. At least you clearly know how the other person feels about you and no longer have to stress about it. But that's not to mean that it doesn't hurt knowing the person you like doesn't like you back or only sees you as a friend. That's why Yukari was trying so hard to keep it together.

[@kasunex1772]

@@bananabunch4590 Her reaction when he says he's not into her isn't sad, it's "i pretty much figured that". When he says he cares about her as a friend, she is overjoyed. I've been on both sides of a situation like that. This is written as Yukari already assuming Makoto is not into her but worrying that he doesn't actually like her as a friend, either. When he confirms he does like her as a friend, she is happy. She hoped he liked her, but wasn't holding her breath and is perfectly content and happpy with them being friends. This is about as mild a rejection scene as they could have possibly written, unless they wanted to just have Yukari not like Makoto until Makoto says something, which contradicts that Yukari is canonically crushing on him even outside her S. Link. People find this sad because Yukari is self-concious and because they are self-projecting their own affections for Yukari onto Makoto. That's all.
