P2 says friends are important, sure, and that being your true self is importand, but also acknowledges tge limitations on those things a bit more than P4 does and actyally carries a much more antu-collectivist message than it. If anything, it's the Chaos path.

that's why I say it's A deconstruction. It takes a closer, more groundedlook at some ideas from P4 that are handled in a manner taht is very appealibg, though perhaps with a bit of a disregard of reality
You're referring to stuff like when you go back to help Lisa when she's dealing with the fact she can't actually speak English and all the racist assumptions made by her friends? I did that but i guess I wasn't supposed to. But that's macho shounen garbage. You should always go and support people. Doubly so for Lisa because she clearly loved Tatsuya and I wasn't going to abandon her. And that's what the choices were. Stay or go support Lisa.
