Hikari x Rei

Persona Q/Q2

[0heartangel0]

AAAAAAHHHHH!!! I hate not being able to focus!! It's even worse when I'm on a deadline (I should've prepared first...)

Anyway, here's day's 3 and 4. I hope to have the last three done tomorrow (although, they will be rushed...)

Day 3: Dress-up/Unlikely Duo (Decided to combine the two prompts together to add a little fun. I've wanted to do PQ2 for one of these at some point to be unique (and not just do Strikers for all of them), so decided what better one than a pairing up category for Hikari? As for who she'd be paired up with, I went with Akane, since she's also...a school girl?? (I have not played PQ2, just own a copy, I promise I'll play it at some point) Anyway, I thought it'd be cute to do a clothes-swap (thus, the dress-up prompt), and I think it came out rather decently (I could've done better with Akane, but what can you do?)).

Day 4: Battle (FINALLY DID A TACTICA ONE! I thought it'd be cool to do a more dynamic one this time (if you can call this "dynamic"), and I think aside from line art and the background (as per usual), I think it came out decently. I had to pull up a reference photo of a guy holding a shotgun because I couldn't for the life of me draw the angle or hand position, and it came out okay. Could've done better with this overall).

This was Futaba's first lesbian panic.

Here are the results for Round 1 Matches 1-5!

[catnatch]

since i picked pq2 back up, i'm reminded how cute futaba and hikari are ^^

[twilightknight17]

I did these a while ago and never got around to posting them, so here they are now, since both of them have finally been properly mentioned. This is Hikari (on the left) and Mirai (on the right), who... I guess are technically alternate-timeline siblings. Hikari is Ren and Goro's daughter on the Other Side, and Mirai is Akira and Goro's daughter on This Side.

Somehow, despite being adopted, they still kind of look like their families. :D

[eyepatchdate]

tbh labrys is my favorite persona spinoff character

[2stregafangirl]

Have older adult designs of Hikari and her brother Kuragami!

persona 5 tactica

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

The more I think about it, the more I think Sumi’s plot shoulda been PQ2 instead of Hikari (sorry Hikari I do like you but TT0TT she’s kinda.....weak....like character wise, and this is coming from someone who likes Enlil but even I find them weak). 

I dunno Sumi fits the life/death/truth/identity and feels like a natural evolution from Rei. Plus, her identity crisis woulda mixed a lot better with the Hammy/Minty subplot. 

(now should it be P3/P/4/5, P3/P/4, or P3/P/5? should Maruki still be adapted into it? who knows).

who’s your favorite persona oc?

oc is defined here as a character introduced in content that comes off the side of the original plot (sorry marie+kasumi, you’re actually in the main games)

[p5x-theories]

Do you think it’ll be possible for us to get the persona q1 and 2 characters in p5x? So like Rei, Zen and Hikari! I think it would be really amazing if we did because I love them so much they definitely need more content and I think they could do so many interesting and unique things with them

Sorry to keep you waiting for a response! Like the last ask, I wanted to wait until I had a better, firsthand experience of how mechanics were changed for SEES before answering. Plus, the last ask also brought up a similar point to what I think applies in this case.

That is to say, I unfortunately don't know how likely it is that the PQ-original characters could appear in a collab here, at the moment. As discussed in the other ask, the collabs seem to be designed to lessen the technical strain on (particularly the art side of) the developers, by reusing as many assets as possible, and sending the already-modeled characters to areas that look just like locations from their original games to fight familiar shadows. There is a point to be made about the fact that the P5 and P3RE models are higher-quality than their original games, which shows they're not just taken directly from one game and brought into the collab, but I still fear that completely remaking the models for the PQ (and Tactica) characters would be more effort than the developers want (or are able) to put in right now.

In other words, I don't think it's impossible! It just doesn't look particularly likely to happen anytime soon. And thinking about it, this may also apply to the P1 and P2 casts as well, although the P1 cast at least got 3D models for a few cutscenes in the PSP port. With how much new stuff they've put into the P3RE collab (ex. Tartarus having its own rougelike game mode!), it does seem possible that they'll continue to ramp up the scale of the collabs in the future. But for now, it seems like they want to avoid straining the art team, so I wouldn't count on anything at the moment.

Since I feel like this response might be a bit of a downer, though, I did want to speculate a little about what sort of mechanics Rei + Zen and Hikari might have. I think it would make the most sense to keep Rei and Zen as a dual unit, like they are in PQ, with Rei being the one to use skills (probably as a Rescue teammate?), and Zen being the one to carry out physical attacks. Since he uses a crossbow, I could imagine them replacing either his melee or ranged attack option with something else, similar to SEES. Hikari, on the other hand, would probably make the most sense as a Navigator (given her role in combat towards the end of PQ2), so they probably wouldn't need to change any mechanics for her.

[futabapunk]

Futaba sees herself in Hikari since they both shut themselves away from the world after losing people they care for and being demonised by those around them. This is why she starts caring for her so much in a short time and wishing she could help her the way she once was.
