Aren't you forgetting someone, Persona 4 Arena?

[pitythefool]

All right, all right, I get it. You're a little disappointed. But so what?

Seriously, so what if I'm not part of that new roster? You really think I'd give enough of a shit about those brats to join their little after-school fight club? Ahahahaha... Thanks, but no thanks.

It's okay, you don't have to be ashamed.

We all know you just hate fun.

[ace_defective]

Yeah, that's because they know who's really important after all.

[pitythefool]

[Oh, he can think of a few other things he hates more.]

Wellllll, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't say I hate fun. More like... I'll let you have it.

[There's an underlying "for now" hiding behind that last sentiment.]

[yumadbro]

So I guess you'll be sitting on the bench with Minato and Minako. ...Or is it Makoto?

You know, the 'no way in hell this can chronologically happen' reserve squad.

Well, it's not like we're seeing what's his name... Um, emo kid with the blue hair? Looks like Shirogane? That guy. He's not in it, either, and I've heard some people making a bit of a fuss over that. Still, of course we're not in it. We've gotta serve a sentence. I'm surprised people keep expecting otherwise.

[You don't even go here, Junpei.]

Or it could be they wanted to keep things fair.

You're the baseball expert, right? So look at it this way: there's no sense in asking a major leaguer to go back to playing tee-ball, y'know?

[pitythefool]

[Ah yes, their sentence. Adachi squirms unpleasantly.]

I know, I know. Believe me. So does he, for that matter, which makes this whole thing even more pathetic. You wanna know what I've had to listen to all this time?

[He straightens up to deliver a mocking impersonation.]

"Well, what if they made him a secret boss? Or, wait, they could just make him multiplayer-only, couldn't they?"

[And back to slouching he goes, scoffing.]

Kids say the dumbest shit.

[pitythefool]

[Stuck on the bench. Story of his life.]

Looks like it. {He snorts.] Y'know, maybe I'll run into that dog of theirs, too. Unless those rumors about Kirijo's fur coat are true...

[magatsu]

Hey, believe me, I get it. [He sighs.] I mean, it's not like they couldn't write us in if they wanted to. That's just it, though. I doubt they want to. Don't wanna spoil the original game for anyone who got into the franchise through the fighting one.

Maaan I'm disappointed too. You're at the top end of the list of people I would love to get another chance to punch in the face again.
