I’m progressing pretty slowly at the moment but I really like Kotone. I enjoy her cheerful front mixed with less happy emotions bubbling beneath and expect (or at least hope) for this to progress with the story. I also like that she can be played as a weirdo.
Her new events are pretty fun though they suffer from the same issue as the original route, i.e. you have to agree with people make the most of social links. I’m used to it from the first playthrough so it’s not a huge deal.
The biggest surprise so far was Saori’s (health committee) social link as that’s not something I expected to see in the game and I’m really curious where it goes.
As mentioned in my previous post, I’m really glad I’m playing this as NG+ since it allows me to focus on the differences which are mostly present in writing. I like it.
That’s pretty much all I have for now. I’ll be making more posts as I progress with the game with possible longer write up at the end if I have some time (and enough thoughts for that). Playing this route makes me even more annoyed Atlus for not bothering with including it in P3 Reload but they famously hate money so it’s not like one can expect much from them on that front.

Yeah, I really like Kotone’s SLs (ignoring Ken), especially the fact that we get an actual Ryoji SL. I think Reload not having FemC was a huge miss.
But I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I really wish Atlus kept the dual protagonists in tbh, it makes NG+ a lot more fun to go through.

If they keep insisting that having two protagonists is too expensive despite having multiple successful franchises behind their belt then I wish they just went all in and made a Persona game with female protag instead - it’s been 25 years since P2!
At the same time I kinda dread what they would do with her to be honest. Atlus still has some issues with how they use their female characters so we could end up with some… let’s call them “problematic” events. They would also have to rethink some of their social links (can you imagine the reception of gendebent Kawakami scenario?). I’d still take that chance at this point though.
