Also, as others have said, the main cast of friends are the dangerous combination of uninteresting and lacking in chemistry. About the only thing that seems to keep them together is their connection to the phantom thieves and the MC. Beyond that, it feels as though they only barely tolerate one-another's presence, with a majority of their interactions consisting of complaining about their current situation, mocking one-another for little-to-no reason (Morgana is the worst offender, which contributes greatly to him being such a loathsome character), and coming up with excuses to avoid having to interact with one-another. To put it bluntly, they just don't gel together like the Scoobies or the SEES crew did.
I think the devs meant for the players to find Morgana's shitting on Ryuji funny because he's the designated bro character, but it fails and he just comes off as a massive cunt. It's even more infuriating because when Ryuji tells him to fuck off he throws a tantrum. It feels massively tone-deaf.
I don't think this is a problem unique to P5 tho', P3 and 4 and suffered from the same thing at times, though the characters generally felt closer.
