Who looks better "Izanagi" or "Orpheus"?

[Shinji_Ryori]

I just wanna know who looks better, as for me its "Izanagi"

[Vicious1915]

Orpheus has my vote.

[Fatney]

Izanagi is way more badass. I love his design. Orpheus is really cool to, but he looks kinda emo.

[Vicious1915]

I agree, it's just my personal taste of harp over sword.

[Lauro]

Izanagi, He's badass.

[Shinji_Ryori]

By the way, Have you guys noticed that Orpheus nearly looks like P3 MC?

[Rin]

I think I'd like Izanagi better... But Orpheus is cool too...

As for Orpheus who might've looked like Minato, I'd say it's because of their hairstyle..?

[Isshin_Ryori]

Orpheus IS DA mAn

[rpgguy999]

Izanagi,of course

[The_Other_Self]

D: Gahhh~
It's so hard to choose.

I think Izanagi looks more badass, but i really like Orpheus too.
(maybe because I'm a mythology freak?)

[Saburo Hikari]

Izanagi looks cooler, but Orpheus is a close second.

Yeah, I noticed that Orpheus looks a lot like Minato as well. I think Io looks a bit like Yukari too.

[Isshin_Ryori]

Ha! Scratch that id go for Abel!

[BaizDaza]

Orpheus.

[Superkenon]

Izanagi.

[ax_colleen]

Izanagi

cool name, cool art

[PersonaFan]

Izanagi.
He is awesome.

[AbsyntheDelacroix]

I love Izanagi.

He's so bad.

[Door]

I never really liked Orpheus' legs. Plus, Izanagi just has a better look to it, anyway. Izanagi.

[Zacewing]

Izanagi.

[dragonlife29]

This is a bit hard...

Izanagi > Orpheus because of design

Orpheus > Izanagi because of the Mythological figure it's based on (love Orpheus's story, myself)

Izanagi > Orpheus because he's lightning and I prefer lightning to fire :D

Izanagi wins, I guess.

[OverGAR]

Izanagi is a japanese god so in Mythological figure it should be more badass. Anyway Izanagi of course, love the design.

But they are really weak, at least in P2 you have some upgrades for those first Personas D:

Izanagi-no-Okami or Messiah? (it should be another Thread)

[cj iwakura]

Orpheus, master of strings.

[FangzV]

Izanagi certaintly looks badass.
However, I have to go with Orpheus.

[Ark]

Neither, I perfer Thantos.

[gerry bob]

Izanagi and he is more cooler than izanagi okami and orpheus:)

[avince]

Izanagi

[OverGAR]

Neither, I perfer Thantos.

Nah- I prefer Thanatos xD

[StormofSwords]

Orpheus. He's just such a badass, you know? Izanagi is pretty damn cool too, though.

[killua93]

i go for izanagi. he looks badass except for his pussy-like groin plate.
but i also like orpheus but he looks like a robot with a speaker on his tummy

[scrpioknight016]

vote goes to izanagi..and yeah i agree to that person who said that orpheus looks kind of emo lol..he kind of does.

mythology wise they're counterparts.. orpheus and eurydice, izanagi and izanami..i like how atlus is kind of accurate with mythology and stuff..makes me feel that they really think about what they put in their games.

[trikz84]

izanagi. he's pretty badass. orpheus is cool too but not as cool as izanagi.

[Sheumin]

Orpheus. He's awesome. :3

[kybarsfang]

Orpheus, only because of the connection to Thanatos. Thanatos is better than both anyday.

[Tatsuya]

izanagi without question for me.

[Illya]

Because of Orpheus fuse with Thanatos become Messiah.
So I choose Messiah!

MEDICAL DISPENSARIES (http://dispensaries.org/)

[paradox_20]

izanagi, it looks cooler and more powerfull than orpheus i think. Well if you compare izanagi no okami with orpheus tellos actually...

[FirebreathFishslap]

Izanagi, he's got the whole delinquent look about him.

I kind of like them equally though.

[Fatney]

izanagi, it looks cooler and more powerfull than orpheus i think. Well if you compare izanagi no okami with orpheus tellos actually...

Doesn't Telos look exactly like Orpheus though? With only color that seperates them? At least Izanagi no Okami had a lot of different features. I love that tie. It makes him look like some kind of police-God, with a white suit to sympolize his greatness.

[No One]

I want both xP

[Silverevilchao]

Orpheus.

He's a harp-playing robot. Just think about that.

A HARP-PLAYING ROBOT.


...though Thanatos kills both of them.

[Tello, the Hark!]

Orpheus & Orpheus Tellos and day

[Madalex123]

Izanagi, though I like Orpheus a lot.

[RV0LVr]

IZANAGI!

*Crushes Card*

[Reduction]

Izanagi, he's the fiercest one

[Aegis Ages]

Izanagi the best.
His coat is cool.

[Reduction]

FYI, Both of Izanagi and orpheus, just an animation from Atlus
if you look at the historic illustration, I'd prefer Orpheus, he's cool

[Asch-no-Okami]

Izanagi because of his giant sword.
But he can only learn skills up to lvl 5

[Denninja]

I want both xP

Okay, I was really bored so I did this, so here,
Izanagi+Orpheus+ a bit of Izanagi-no-Okami and Thanatos,
it's an abomination, I know but I couldn't help myself.:very_sad:
I spliced them in Paint.

"I am thou, and thou art I...

That does NOT look like a paint job! O.O It looks like a photo editor job. xD

[Commander-Lynx]

Izanagi's crotch plate wins

[freezer250]

Izanagi wins! But Orpheus is not that bad :)

[Zhou]

Izanagi just because he has a sword, not too fond of Orpheus' harp(i think). Thanatos beats both of them imo thou.

[MightySpirit]

Izanagi definitely looks a lot more badass, but my vote goes towards Orpheus. I prefer his design overall. He's a lot more mysterious looking, and seems like an anti-hero. Plus, his harp is pretty awesome. Too bad he doesn't have a sword as well xD

[Kordero]

Orpheus is the best!

[lalalagirl]

Izanagi is wayy cooler.

[MomoChan]

Izanagi.

Orpheus may look dark and mysterious, but Izanagi has the whole "youth gang leader" look going on.

[True Hollow Demon Kira]

the true form of Izanagi?

the whole white celstial being and his weapon..are just...just GODLY!!..

[Raksha]

http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr282/Denninjutsu/Character%20Designs%20and%20Splices/3ecf6156.jpg
Oh God what.

[Blizz]

Orpheus just because it looks awsome very creative design if you actually know the story of Orpheus in mythology.

[Cloud737]

Orpheus, for me. I just like that mysterious look, like you don't know if he's a good guy or bad guy, or how much power he is hiding. He's like the perfect anti-hero.
As for Izanagi, I kind of hate how they did his head (mask is ok, I guess, Orpheus is way cooler), but he's still bad ass.

The coolest Persona, though, in my opinion, is Shin's, from Persona - Trinity Soul - (Wikipedia lists his name as "Abel", though in the anime no names are ever mentioned for any Persona; I really wonder where wikipedia got the name).

Now tell me that mysterious masked renegade knight Persona isn't cool (and quite powerful, too)! :P And Shin's pretty cool for a main character.

http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr282/Denninjutsu/Character%20Designs%20and%20Splices/3ecf6156.jpg

OMG, take it off, take it off, take it off!! :P
But in all seriousness, it really looks like an abomination, like some robot you'd have built from parts you found in the garbage can. Maybe if you tried to combine them differently (e.g.: Orpheus's head, Izanagi's coat and things on his back

[supernova]

izanagi looks better::::D

[ShivKH]

They both fit their games' styles pretty well, Izanagi is so sleek and powerful looking, while Orpheus really pulls off the mournful thing for the P3 MC. IMO I think that Izanagi looks best, he is sleek and really cool looking basically, that, and the Mshe's Orpheus creeps me out with its hair....

Mythology background wise, they both kinda failed with their most cherished ones :/ but I guess I like Izanagi better, just for the fact that he was a god xD

[B3nn3tt]

As interesting as both of them are, I love Orpheus' design so much more for some reason. It also may have something to do with me loving Greek Mythology :P

Although in terms of their final forms Izanagi-no-Ookami beats Orpheus Telos hands-down.

[Saburo Hikari]

It's really hard to choose. Orpheus for how he is sort of related to Minato and how his design reflects his mythology, or Izanagi for his pure awesome design.

Oh, but I do love the way Orpheus plays his harp in battle. Cooler than Izanagi's polearm swing and fist pump.

[Miyako]

:seesaw:

Izanagi -- because Orpheus is eerie; Izanagi is the flame of VIRTUE.

[TeddiE]

izanagiiii is cooler but i hav to say..orpheus is also cool...hw bout orpheus..telos???

[Nihou~Persona~Freak]

i like Orpheus cuz his more better looking than izanagi and Orpheus's stronger self is much much much powerful than Izanagi's. plus orpheus looks much cuter than Izanagi. but izanagi does looks cool.. mmmmm.. izanagi is a god.....
but Orpheus still gets my vote. :lovefirefox:

[Takoto]

Izanagi is way more badass. I love his design. Orpheus is really cool to, but he looks kinda emo.

Yeah, but so did the MC from that game (but he was still awesome).

It's a tough choice, I really like both of them... D:

[Eldorado112]

Its hard decision but when it comes down to it I think I liked orpheus more. Mostly because I liked persona 3 mc more than P4s although p4 made you really get to know the characters and stuff but still the mc wasnt as cool as p3s. So im going with orpheus jsut because he reprisents his mc the "G"est pimp ever.

[Gilgamesh-GTR]

Izanagi looks like a warrior, so he gets my vote...

Orpheus are more 'machine' and I don't like machine... sorry...

[Symphonia]

Personally, after I replaying both game...I would say, this is a hard choice.
Orpheus represents his master. Orpheus looks like harpist, and he represents Minato in so many ways. His hair style, especially. :lovefirefox:

Izanagi, in other hands, not quite represents his master. If we read the history, it is said that Izanagi lost Izanami when she gave birth to a certain god (I'm forget), but to think about the MC, what and who does he lost? I don't think it fits, though Izanagi's curve is sleeeeeeeeeeeeek. <3

So, I chose Orpheus. But Izanagi no Okami beat Orpheus Teleos.

[Master Ichijou]

Well, I prefer Izanagi because I choose electricity than fire, my preferred element is Ice, but no main character with this starting attribute, so...

[Archie55]

Ha! Scratch that id go for Abel!
OH YEAH!!!! ABEL!!
But in seriousness, I like izanagi better. I think they're both cool, but izanagi just looks a bit more professional. I like how SMT is emo sometimes, cuz most rpgs I've played are too bright, But Orpheus doesn't look as cool as izanagi to me.

[elf_boobs]

definitely Orpheus. He isn't as sleak, but I think the design fits what I know of the mythology better. I just wish that either persona would have been more useful after the first few hours.

[Raptorg]

definitely Orpheus. He isn't as sleak, but I think the design fits what I know of the mythology better. I just wish that either persona would have been more useful after the first few hours.

I agree with what is said here..
But I really understand why people love Izanagi more, he looks mysterious and has a bad ass sword.. While Orpheus looks more like a puppet and has a harp.

[Deified Data]

Izanagi, hands down. Though, I wish he had a different name. P4's Izanagi doesn't seem to have too many resemblances to the Izanagi of myth.

[Liontamer199]

It seems my vote goes to Izanagi. He has more detail than Orpheus

[shk_619]

i choose orpheus, but in ultimate mode i choose izanagi no okami :D

[DarkRPGMaster]

I prefer Izanagi. He looked alot cooler to me, plus he seemed much more mysterious...like the mysterious hero who appears in the troubled town.

[Darth Xelleon]

I hereby vote Izanagi as coolest-looking!

[LascelleLegend]

Izanagi just owns

[Superkenon]

Orpheus' limbs have always bothered me greatly. Izanagi is 100% badass, however.

[Deified Data]

Orpheus' limbs have always bothered me greatly. Izanagi is 100% badass, however.

It's his weird stuffed-animal legs that get to me.

That being said, I appreciate how he actually has a resemblance to the mythical Orpheus. This isn't something that can be said about Izanagi.

[Abandoned Heart]

Close, but Izanagi.

[arisato1337]

izanagi ftw

[MickC]

Orpheus looks cooler than izanagi.

[YinYang1st]

Personally, I like Izanagi over Orpheus. Just by looks it goes like this for me, samurai versus harpist. Something about Orpheus's legs just seem really strange to me. It just makes me sad that they're pretty weak considering that they don't get many additions throughout the game. I do know about Izanagi no Okami and Orpheus Telos though.

[waterblaze123]

Izanagi. Hands down!

[Waffles McCoy]

Hmmm... it IS a tough choice. I like both of them, for different reasons. Izanagi does look more badass.. though that codpiece makes me twitch. As an overall design, I'd have to go with Orpheus as the more aesthetically pleasing of the two. He's beautiful. And I actually love his weird legs. XD

[Crow T. Robot]

Izanagi. I never really liked Orpheus' design.

[khmerfujoshi]

Orpheus looks a lot like the MC from P3, but with gray hair. I prefer Izanagi's design since he looks helluva lot cooler.

[BossKado]

If were talking about the MC's main persona, i prefer thanatos.

p3 main has 2 sets of main persona. thanatos and messiah as his real main persona. and orpheus and orpheus telos, his original persona(w/o death's power).

[MinatoXAigis]

Devoted to Izanagi <3

[DarkAndersonEX]

Here's my take:
Orpheus has that look to him that looks like Minato/ the P3 MC. The same thing in Izanagi, his style of clothing is similar to Souji/ the P4 MC.
I'd go with the either one. I really wasn't much for voting.

BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT ME TO CHOOSE ONE I'LL GO WITH ORPHEUS.

[PhantomPersona]

Orpheus is cool but Izanagi is Super Badazz looking.:seesaw:

[unknownalice0313]

Izanagi, IMO, his appearance is quite mysterious for me, and the design for the appearance IMO is way better than Orpheus I guess.

[Persona_Evoker]

Izanagi looks cooler all the way

[SouthEastMex]

izanagi earth version over both of them

[Dojima]

I think Izanagi is definitely cooler.

[kirbs]

ORPHEUS
wait for it
wait for it
TELOSSS

[Chiyo Mihama]

I'd honestly say Soejima's Persona designs still aren't up to Kaneko's standards, but he improved from P3 to P4. Izanagi gets my vote.

[kratoscar2008]

The badass longcoat is only for badasses (Dante, Sephirot, Undertaker, vincent, auron, Shinjiro)

So with that logic izanagi is cooler, badass and you can level him to level 99 easily and i remember a shuffle time card changing a currently equipped persona gain a powerup skill in my case izanagi learn zionga skill so he is more useful than orpheus so in short

IZANAGI RULES

Honestly with that logic you can't say Orpheus is cooler the only thing Opheus even has going for him is the hair. Oh and for that list what about Snow from FFXIII.

[kratoscar2008]

havent played final XIII so i cant tell.

well as for my logic well lets see:

Dante: Quicked the king of the underworld ass and his stunts in 3 and his brother vergil is close to him (also has a longcoat).

Shinjiro: how he fights in the game and act cool to his last breath

Vincent: he act cool is inmortal (he is a vampire) can transform in monsters and if you tolerate the spinoff dirge of cerberus you can withness some serious ass kicking

Undertaker: 19-0 wrestlemania

Sephiroth: became a semigod he is the bes tsoldier before cloud kill him

Auron: best character in the game (well when he is undead) and die with a cool attitude

Izanagi: well he is a good when transform in izanagi no Okami kill his wife with one blow and the best persona in 4.

I know there are exceptions but so far i guess we can see a pattern here.

[P4jikyusi]

For me, Izanagi is absolutely the best looking mc's persona in all persona series. It's okami version even way much better than it's original.

[John Cavil]

ORPHEUS
wait for it
wait for it
TELOSSS
...It's nothing more than a palette swap of vanilla Orpheus. A very..."tropical juicy" one.

Izanagi for me. It's the only Persona with a crotch guard. What can I say - he's combat savvy.

[kratoscar2008]

:)You are right john Cavil a crotch guard give izanagi a anti-chiekickingnads proteccion for the main character (If chie find out him having an affair).

Yosuke: "Critical hit to the nads"

[mikecincifan22]

Izanagi all the way for me. Orpheous just looked like a regular not one for the main protaganist.

[mikecincifan22]

Izanagi all the way with me. Orpheous didn't seem like a persona meant for the main character, and just looked like one you could fuse IMO
