TYOA: 8 Gaming Dialogue Choices That BETRAYED You
5. Hug Yukari - Persona 3
Though this is technically more of an action option than a dialogue option, it so thoroughly puzzled the Persona fanbase that it's absolutely earned its inclusion here.
In the original release of Persona 3, players encounter Yukari after she's had a run-in with some aggressive guys and is visibly upset. You're given two options - hug her or don't do anything.
Now, it absolutely tracks that a woman who's just been harassed by several men might not want to be hugged right away.
But when the only other option is to apparently just stand there gormlessly like a wet lettuce when faced with a clearly distraught friend, it does seem like the more compassionate choice.
Above all else, with the Persona franchise hardly being a paragon of good taste and tone, it genuinely feels like the game is steering players in this direction.
But if you do opt to hug Yukari, she'll respond negatively and it'll cause your social link with her to be reversed. Oops.
