The Lust Arcana

I wanna make something very clear. This scene here, the real scene…is my FAVORITE MOMENT IN ANY PERSONA GAME. Seriously, I love this scene. I still get chills just watching it. I wish it had been a bit longer, but I seriously loved it.
Now you may notice from the title I call it Lust and not Hunger like it was called in the localization. This is because while I'm usually perfectly fine with subtle changes in localization, I just can't agree with that one. I think by changing it from Lust to Hunger Atlus USA essentially tried to undo the entire symbolism of Adachi's social link. Pierrot to Jester is fine because those are both fake arcana. But Lust is a real arcana, Hunger isn't. To me the entire point of this scene is the change from the fake arcana to a real one. Essentially meaning going from a fake bond to a real one. The Lust Arcana is the true link between these two characters. So anyway, that's my take. Just wanted to explain why I will be using Lust instead of Hunger for these comics.
