i feel like to stop the 'spot the main character' moments in persona games, they should have random NPCs that give MC vibes. Because, like, all the Shujin characters are just, like.. Wow, i wonder who the MC is! It could be this brown-haired kid, it could be the black haired faceless boy, it might be the grey-haired girl, or its the boy with bright blond-haired boy and a t-shirt that doesn't fit in! I wonder who it could be!
But that just feels weird. So make a few characters that kind of look like other mcs! give some randos deviation to the uniform! make someone wear a scarf on top of their uniform! it's like, my only problem with the games.
