Futaba is just better than Rise and Fuuka in terms of everything really. Especially with how long I can tolerate her voice...ps: it's forever.

Yeah and her skills, Final guard saved my ass a lot
and the one with the surrounding enemies is glorious.=D

Rise to me always felt like obvious waifu bait, and she was cute, I'll give her that.

Fuuka was *GASP* the enemy of my P3 playthrough.

And Futaba was just....good. Like, she was a normal nerdy girl, with a not terrible voice actor and good character.

I actually found Rise more annoying than Fuuka.
Mostly because I played Persona Q as well.
Fuuka at least seemed worried an gave some good advices,
also in Q she was more usefull with Healing.

Rise is sometimes so savage, if anyone collapses like 'Yukiko get up and fight' .
First you worry about your friends. But she only worries about Senpai. :P

Futaba has cool lines, and her Voice actress is Magilou from Tales of beseria, so that was a voice I loved to hear.=D

I do seem to give Fuuka a bad rap, but meh, her growth is a lot better than Rise's.

*Likes Fuuka more than Rise.*

Futaba is the best Navigator imo, and Mona might be the best character in a combat support role to me too.

Futaba's skills are basically useless for me. Thanks for never doing shit for me Futaba.

Fuuka in my opinion is the best for character anD BEING ABLE TO FUCKING TELL ME WHAT IT'S WEAK TO. Her English voice is admittedly annoying.

Actually I forgot to teddie and Mona, Mitsuru counts too,
because she was also a side combat support character.

Does that mean Q's dlc with nanako and the velvet attedants counts too?

I never used Marie, but I assume it would be something akin to:

"I don't know, go punch them I guess?"

Futabas skills honestly appealed in no way to me.
Her map was less useful than Rises. (plus the floor skip was kinda glitched?)
Her buffs were as common as Rises. (Except often evade ups i didnt need)
and her cognition change is only good for people who cant sneak.
So not me.
Also Rise and Fuuka had the weakness filling in thing.
Which was nice.

Marie actually spoke in her pathos, I didn't buy but I looked into it on YouTube.

Rise > Futaba > Fuuka

I loved Fuuka's reserved nature. She was adorable and her quirk of being horrible at cooking was cute, as well. Sure, her voice-acting in Persona 3 was a bit shaky. But her personality and voice were reworked a bit in Persona Q and it helped her climb the ladder of favorites for me. She's definitely the best out of all three, personality wise. I love her design, her Persona's design, her social link, her dynamic with the main cast and just her overall appeal.

Futaba was endearing and I related a lot to her behavior. She's a genius and a huge driving force in the team. Her support in battle helped me when I was in a pinch and her social link both made me laugh and tugged at my heartstrings from how I understood her plight. She's my second favorite, but only by a small amount. If Fuuka was any less what she is, Futaba would easily be first place.

As for Rise, I was unfortunately never a big fan of her. There's nothing wrong with her, per say. Her optimism and talent is quite entertaining. However, her backstory, motivation, etc, didn't hit me quite as hard as it did with Fuuka and Futaba. Third place, but I feel guilty saying so.

Fuuka > Futaba > > > > > > > Rise
