Catherine/YMMV
- And the Fandom Rejoiced: On Catherine getting a release outside of Japan.
- Base Breaker: Erica, good god. Many people were riled up by the fact that she is a transsexual and how she's treated. Although it may be somewhat noteworthy that most of these complaints come from people who haven't played the game yet.
- Katherine also has shades of this, due to some of her actions. Speaking of which, Catherine has shades of it, too...
- Crowning Music of Awesome: A soundtrack composed by Shoji Meguro, consisting of smooth jazz for the quiet scenes and awesome classical remixes for the nightmare scenes.
- Someone REALLY loves "The Planets".
- Disappointing Last Level: The last few stages introduce Random Blocks and Monster Blocks, making the stages less about puzzle-platforming and more about undoing until that next Random Block turns into the block you need.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: There are some that argue that Boss should get his own game.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: This image. It's been floating around days before they announced the English Voice Actors. NSFW!
- "Hilarious" might be an overstatement, but some scenes become amusing when looked back on with the knowledge that Catherine is a succubus, and Invisible to Normals:
- When Katherine showed up with the cake while Catherine was over, she couldn't have seen Catherine anyway... and when Catherine went into the bathroom, she was probably just eavesdropping from there and waiting for the most inopportune time to flush the toilet.
- When Catherine showed up at the Chrono Rabbit while Vincent was there with Katherine, she was probably just hanging out in the entryway, shouting things in Vincent's direction.
- "Hilarious" might be an overstatement, but some scenes become amusing when looked back on with the knowledge that Catherine is a succubus, and Invisible to Normals:
- Internet Backdraft: Full Body being exclusive to Playstation consoles (PS4, Vita). While most expected a release for PS4, many got angry to see PS Vita getting a port while Switch, PC and even Xbox One didn't get one (considering the "vanilla" version was released for Xbox 360 and is playable in One thanks to retrocompatibility). Many players believe this a mistake by Atlus considering how many Japanese gaming franchises are no longer being released exclusively for Playstation and the fact Vita is at the end of its lifespan and being a unsuccessful console in comparison with the newer ones. Also this put more fire into the "Atlus hates PC" controversy considering Full Body was announced a few weeks after Atlus tried to shut down a PS3 emulator project saying Persona 5 "shouldn't be played on PC."
- It's Hard, So It Sucks:
- You know something's hard when the masochists that are the Atlus fanbase have so much trouble that Atlus had to patch in an easy mode.
- Hell Bennett the Sage of That Guy With The Glasses, often shown to be a rather... unpleasant fellow in crossover vids (all played for laughs of course; he's nothing like that in real life) couldn't even get through the game and come time to review it, most of his video on it was him complaining about the difficulty.
- Most Wonderful Sound: Haaaaallelujah!
- Nightmare Retardant: So you're facing off against the Final Boss, who is a giant head with a beard made of sheep that are still alive and Glowing Eyes of Doom, and what is the Pre-Mortem One-Liner he delivers before the fight starts? "Prepare yourself, boxer boy!"
- Non Sequitur Episode: The Cathedral, up to and including the wakeup from that fake day. It would make more sense if it were a Alternate Universe, but, due to the game's nature...
- Periphery Demographic: Surprisingly, the game's multiplayer mode has become popular amongst competitive gamers, to the point where in some locales, there is a tournament scene for the game.
- Unfortunate Implications: There are some issues with the meter, which symbolizes Freedom/Order, not Good/Evil (as the game leads you to believe until the end). While some of the choices seem far less unfortunate once this is known, some... still don't. Rather sexist answers tilt you towards "Order", implying that a pro-marriage person doesn't really believe in gender equality.
- That and some of the more Jerkass options push you toward "Freedom".
- Unintentionally Sympathetic: Vincent is treated by the narrative as being unfaithful... but the circumstances of him doing so more closely resemble Date Rape than actual cheating, with Vincent getting so drunk that his encounters with Catherine come off as Questionable Consent at best and Double Standard Rape (Female on Male) at worst.
- The Untwist: Catherine is a succubus. Who honestly didn't see that coming?
- Woolseyism: Calling a barkeep "Master" in America would be a trifle odd, though it's standard in Japan and would be the literal translation. "Boss" seems far smoother and more natural while still conveying the appropriate respect level.
