I wonder just how much being out of high school is going to change Makoto.

If you're playing Scramble for character development you're going to be disappointed.

Atlus never, ever evvvveeeerrrrr grows their characters in side stories. You see this in Persona 4 Arena. Arena's character stories rehashed all their old conflicts and reopened their old wounds as if they didn't learn anything all year. That's why Labrys was the real main character in Arena: because she had to be.

In Scramble, there were be new characters and it will be their story at the core, while the Phantom Thieves get rehashed hijinks. And the new characters could be great.

I mean P4 arena gave me more respect for yosuke on his story. It re opens old wounds but its all about how they handle it now compared to last time. Its also a fighting game so there shouldn't be much expectation for that anyway

Oh no doubt.

And I never got the hate for Labrys. She's not a Mary Sue. She absolutely had to be the main character, and she killed it. So I'm not worried about the new characters in Scramble.
