Given everything that's going on at Twitter, it seems like a good time to say that I've got Aikoto-dedicated pages on Tumblr, Discord & Reddit. Links below! ⬇️ #Aikoto
It's more of a place-holder for now, but it may see more activity once P3P releases 👀
As for the Aikoto Discord server, a few changes need to be done before we start sharing invites again, but I'll make sure to share the link here, on Tumblr and on Reddit once it's done 💖

#Persona3 has been adapted to 3 different mediums, so I thought it'd be nice to compare how #Aikoto was handled in each one. Which scenes from the game where adapted & how, which were cut & which inspired original scenes in each adaptation.
Thread will be updated (semi) daily!😊
‼️ I'll be focusing on the most important, canonical Aikoto moments that happen in the main timeline of FES outside of Aigis’ S-Link and of player-input.
For a more thorough list of Aikoto moments in the game, please do check this post:
The scene made it to the 3 adaptations! 👏 Leaders' interest in Aigis was nicely portrayed in both, the movies & the musicals, despite Sakuya not trying to "woo" her. The manga opts for a more indifferent Minato instead & cuts Aigis running away ⬇️
Personally, I consider the manga the only adaptation that doesn't heavily lean towards Aikoto.
The funny thing about it though, is that to achieve this, it had to implement quite a few changes... that only highlight how romantic Aikoto is the game🤭
Thread incoming! ⏬
The first main change and the one that pretty much sets the tone for the differences between Sogabe's Minato and canon Leader in regards to Aigis, happens in Yakushima.
As you can see, Minato's reaction to Aigis is a far cry from the game.
Where Leader got a literal ❤️ over his head the moment he saw her & was even disappointed he didn't get to approach her first, Sogabe's Minato is... pretty much indifferent to her, even as she hugs him.
I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but Leader's side of the Aikoto bond is pretty much my favorite thing!
Here are some of the moments that show how much he treasures Aigis throughout the games, drama cds, spin-offs, etc 🙌
warning: this is going to be long!
Leader in FES 1/2: Gets a heart over his head when he first sees Aigis, touches her on his own outside of her S-Link, promises her they’d stay together and find the answer together, hangs out with her during SEES’ last walk with Koro [cont]
Leader in FES 2/2: gets emotional when he sees her cry (his smile widens and his eyes start trembling), dries her tears without player input and spends his last moments on her lap with a wide, peaceful smile on his face.
