The phantom also has a very large guard in this concept.

Should've used, like, three times as much punctuation, but then again, people might've just thought you were three times as enthused.Goro's a party member?!!!!!!!!! I thought he was an antagonist???????
He even gets shafted in the OP, although Makoto and Haru don't get that much more time there either.
Well, if we somehow get another version of Persona 5 with a Female MC side...but at the moment...probably not?
I know P4 got praised for the writing regarding Kanji and Naoto regardingissues but I really don't know why some people are still going on with the idea of dating the same sex.sexuality and gender
I'm all for equality and all, but I don't think people should expect Atlus to do that just because they have touched *slightly* on the issue in the pastand add things just for the sake of adding stuff.and even scrapped what seemed like a Yosuke route

To be fair, it looks like they might be Atlus and Sega's new European partner going forward, as they also picked up 7th Dragon and SMT IV Apocalypse.
I was really confused for a second, because Nibel made that thread, and he has your avatar, just flipped horizontally.
DON'T recommend watching the first 18 minutes. Even if you aren't too fussed about spoilers like I am, the opening is very, very cool. You wouldn't want to spoil that.

And man, I seriously hope there are very little perv scenes in the game. That joke's been done to death in Japanese animation.
Because everyone wants a slice of the pie, not just straight dudes. Shit, I'm 100% heterosexual and the possibility of dating Yusuke excites me more than dating pretty much any of the girls.
Since the game's coming out with a 16+ rating out the gate, it could technically be dialed up from what P3 and P4 (not Golden) had.
Not even teacher maid?
Oh joy. Although I thought the 16+ had to do more with drug usage than anything else?
Even Fire Emblem: Fates, in all its assbackwards implementation same sex marriages, still had them. Shit, you talk about how Persona has only *slightly* touched on the issue, but you could straight up be in a relationship with Jun in Persona 2. It was a big deal back then and it's still a big deal now.
Crime and Drugs are the reasons given for the rating.
I'm sure people will find some of the current romance options not well written, so that's not really a good excuse.As one of those LTTP to the series, I only played P3FES and P4G so yea, you got me there since I didn't realize it's already a thing in P2.
Okay, just to clarify what I meant. Like I said, I'm cool with them adding them as long as it's well written and well executed and not "just there for the sake of being there". e.g while Fates had the option implemented, the game still generated a lot of outcry for what they perceived as censorship and what's not e.g the hoo-ha over changes to Soleil's lines, magic potions and other stuff until it reached a point where I thought, if they bothered to add these options, why do they had to change so much of the context and stuff just so that they can minimize potential backlash/outcry from various groups? In the end, it still created a lot of noise. If you wanna do it, just add the option, but don't do it half-hardheartedly! Might as well don't bother at all.
Don't really need that kind of drama to be brought over to the Persona series. That's what I mean. If they can pull it off without generating unnecessary hate and outcry, sure go ahead by all means. Chill. There's no need to jump at my throat like that.

Ah. It might actually be better than P4 Golden than.
I for one am surprised to learn Persona 5 has crime in it.

The "might as well not bother" mentality is extremely ass backwards.
Urgh. You seem to be still misunderstanding a bit on where I stand.
I'm for all options.
I don't mean it as
-but "writing for same-sex marriage sucks! Just take it off to save your company PR trouble!"
so I'm definitely not trying to think backwards but rather more like, while options are certainly nice to have, I don't think people should be content with JUST having the option available. I don't quite agree with the opinion. If you have it available, make sure it works, not just implement it for the sake for appeasing people who are asking for it.
Don't add something that's only at face value.
If the options are available, I want to try it as well. Impress me with your character building and stuff. Don't add this option to your game just because you thought it would be nice to.
Having choices are nice, but why settle for less? You are a consumer. When you are paying for something you should get your value worth. E.g if a game have both a male and female option or whatsoever, I expect lots of effort to be put in EQUALLY into both sides. Heck, P3P didn't add a female MC just because they thought "would be nice to have the option", but rather reworked social links and what's not and went the whole hog.
That's what I'm trying to mean. Apologies if it isn't coming through. Not the best at putting my thoughts into writing, especially when it's approach 3AM here >.>
Katsuya x Maya's probably my favorite (even if it doesn't work out).In ya'll's opinion, what do you think is the best written romance in the entire Persona franchise? Yep, even P1 and P2. Also P3P while we're at it. Just curious.
Of course, the old "gay options should only exist if they're written well" double standard, my favorite.
No shit people would like to see well written gay romance, but shit, just having gay romance period is a step up from nothing, and one point is better than zero.

Not sure if they can be considered the most well written romance, buy my favorite pairing from the series is Tatsuya/Maya followed by Tatsuya/Jun. Speaking of P2, the Tatsuya/Maya shipbut does the same thing happen with Jun and Lisa?gets sunk hard due to Maya having to avoid Tatsuya so he won't regain his memories,Did P2 sunk every ship except Baofu/Ulala?
Lol
Not looking forward to the incredibly idiotic "Anne is the canon love interest because Lovers" statements.
Yeah I'm being harsh but I don't care LOL.
I guess my favorite couples (in order) are Shinjiro and Female!MC, Ulala and Baofu and Junpei and Chidori. Just only one definitely is canon in its own game, other it's possible option (and the most canon it could be) and the last one is justhinted at the end of the game lol
The P1 cast have terrible luck for romanceFor the contrary, P4 are terrible at romance for many reasons, but mostly due with how MC-centric is the game.outside the group of friend, sorry Eriko, Maki and Ideal Maki.
Anne canon love interest confirmed.
The stuff with Goro is so bizarre. They've shown him as a party member, but now they're acting like they haven't.
We know he's there, Atlus. You're surprising nobody.

*that follows all of your obtuse marketing very closely.
I like that not all of the characters are in the OP, too. It's smart to account for people that will just end up playing the game by chance.
Player: It's neat how the detective's on the cover with all the other party members.
I'm sure there'll still be people who are surprised to see him join.
"Why are they giving me costume DLC for a charecter who isn't playable"
Hoping for a second OP to unlock later on, which focuses more on the other characters.
I'm still hoping we get that dlc that's coming with Japanese anniversary edition for the collector's edition over here.
The thing is that Persona 5's still clearly made with straight guys in mind even if they make hot guys for the female demographic playing their games. This is why you have scenes of the protag checking out Anne without input from the player.

Is that exclusivity something they should aim for?
More referring to the agency players have over the player character, and how the protag's essentially canonically attracted to women due to the cutscenes. It's not a case where the devs considered the player may want the protagonist to be gay.
Bisexuality is a thing, you know.
Am I alone in thinking that the MC never seems like he's ogling a girl? In the car, it just looks like he's looking at Anne, probably because Ryuji is making such a show of it. More of a "what's going on?" than a "that's hot."
