I’m just a simple man, who hate simple girls. And when it comes to simple and basic, Ann is the girl for you. When it comes to the full cast of female characters, definitely out of your female party members, Ann stick out to me as the one who potential was waste entirely. And I feel like my main problem with Ann is how her social link was handled.

A big problem that Ann faced in the beginning of the game is knowing that her friend, Shiho, was being abused by their gym teacher, Kamoshida. She’s having a crisis within herself because she feel powerless when it comes to helping the only person she truly consider a friend. Ann and Shiho’s dynamic and story could have played an interesting part in her social link, but instead we get her having some dumb back and forth with another model name Mika.

This bitch is wasting everybodies time

Now the reason I don’t like her social link is because to me, the Mika part of Ann social link, pretty much over shadowed the Shiho part of Ann’s social link. I believe that Ann social link should have focus more around Shiho and how Ann doesn’t know how to approach or comfort her friend after being through such a traumatic event. Show us Ann going to the hospital and helping Shiho through her rehabilitation. Ann whole issue was how she felt like she couldn’t be there for Shiho when she needed her most, why not show her trying her best to fix the past and being there for Shiho now. Instead of the whole dumb Mika crap.

You deserved better

In the end, maybe just having a Shiho social link would have been better, since we couldn’t get that in Ann’s social link. Shiho had an interesting story that could have been built upon and explored more. Persona is suppose to be a game that touches on real and hard hitting subjects. But I guess how to deal with a bitch of a rival model, is more important than dealing with overcoming abuse trauma.

Do you think As social link could have been better? Did you care about Mika at all? Do you think Shiho should have been developed more? Tell us in the comments below.
