What's the hype around Aika about?
So whenever I see hopes/expectations for Revival, one of the most common responses I see is for Aika from the persona 4 anime to added, either as a cameo or even a social link, but I never really saw what the hype was about.
Going off of what we see in the anime, there isn't really all that much to her, she's a one note comic relief character whose whole schtick is that she's always working, and will always show up to deliver her food... And that's about it, I guess it could be her personality but all her dialogue is about her one joke and doesn't really say anything aside from that.
I guess it could be her design, I can see kinda see the appeal even though she looks extremely similar to one of the female Yasogami students just with a red hair clip, part of me thinks it is actually that since if the Aiya owner had a son with one of the male student designs with the exact same joke and personality there wouldn't be nearly as many people asking for his inclusion in revival.
Don't get me wrong however, even though I haven't exactly been positive about Aika, I don't hate her, I don't even dislike her, I just kinda see her as she was in the Anime, as a one note recurring joke, and that's all I really feel about her, I guess since there's so little there's a decent amount of potential but literally anything could have potential if there's so little to go off of, like the Mitsuru fangirl or half the characters in the fox's link, in fact the anime kinda did that where characters like Shu and Sayoko became fox requests. Again, I don't hate Aika, I just see her as a joke, so kinda funny sometimes but that's about it
