*Ahem* The issue of whether she should be in the game or not, I REALLY dig that design. She looks great in the Persona art style.

Anyway, newcomer to the franchise here so I thought I'd say hello. I'm very slowly playing through Persona 3 at the moment with my girlfriend since that she's already a fan, but a friend loaned me Arena today which I'm quite looking forward to playing.

I mean, if you check sites like AmiAmi and Hobby Search, her merch certainly doesn't sell like it used to.

My issue with Miku is that, if this wasn't a Persona game, which is a spinoff of SMT, I'd be ok with it if this was just some random rhythm game, but it's not, it's Persona, and I honestly think that fans of SMT proper are allowed to complain. I also know it likely wasn't Atlus' choice, but Sega likely went to them and was like "Hey, we make this rhythm game, put the character from it in yours" Like, as a marketing move, it's fine as it'll give Atlus money to make cool stuff like more SMT games, but as a fan of Persona and SMT, it sucks to see this anime girl I'm tired of seeing just thrown into a series where I feel she has no reason being there. Also, because I feel like she took away a spot from other Persona characters that could have gotten in.

As for the art, yeah, I like Shigenori Soejima's art, so the art does look nice, but still.
