![]() No! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO, a thousand times no. The vast majority of these "suggestions" are basically "combine what was done in previous games into new games" or "Make the games more like Persona 1 and 2 but with the Dungeon design and Social Links of the later games". You mean the ones that started off in PERSONA 2! Not every female character should be dateable and not all problems should be solved by the MC Real repercussions for dating multiple charactersīetter and more varied Social Links. So.Persona 1 and 2/Shin Megami Tensei-mainline Shortcut option with it's own rewards and challenges More Meaningful Choices that result in branching storylines So.Persona 2? Then again that depends on your definition of mature. ![]() Make Personas more interesting as demons/characters Story-based character development and Ultimate Personas Lala-chan dressed in drag but wasn't treated as a joke, and actually was a really positive character who constantly worried for Ohya and the player. There's Aigis and Mitsuru(who is portrayed as somewhat bi-sexual in the female path of Portable), neither of them were jokes. There's Kanji and Ryoji (both are somewhat bisexual), which I guess Kanji was at the butt of a lot of jokes by Yosuke but it's not that bad. Neither Tatsuya nor Jun(The only characters in the franchise that are confirmed LGBTQ) were jokes, and if you choose to have them in a relationship(which the character designer of the game feels is the canon choice) it's a really positive portrayal and none of the other characters disapprove(except Lisa, but not because it's gay but because she's been in love with Tatsuya since they were kids and even then she approves of it since they're both happy and she starts to act like a protective sister). Honestly though, looking back at their past records Atlus aren't too bad at this. On the one hand I get it, that whole creepy old perverts going after Ryuji thing wasn't funny to some people. I feel like the OP has never played anything beyond the last 3 games, and even then remembers a lot of details wrong.īetter treatment of LGBTQ characters. Well since this was already posted I might as well repost my comment Fuck no they're not going to quadruple their production budget and sacrifice polish so that roughly a quarter of people who play their game can rate it as a 10 instead of a 9.5. So that's (VERY roughly) approximately how many people would get genuine value out of this. Maybe 30% of that 80% continued on to NG+ and played again. Lets be generous and say that 80% of the people who played P5 beat it. Branching story paths that are significant and each valuable in their own regard? Okay, let's literally storyboard, write, voice, animate, and basically make five different games in the back half. Japan doesn't fucking care.īesides those issues, a lot of these are asking for a LOT. ![]() Western audiences want better representation of the LGBTQ community because America is currently undergoing a cultural revolution in that regard. Eastern audiences want to play as Ren Amamiya, or Travis Touchdown, or Noctis, or literally any example of a Japanese videogame. Western audiences want character customization so that they can play as "Rodney McIntyre-san", idealized self insert extraordinaire. ![]() Half of it is trying to shoehorn western concepts into an eastern story. Older cast would be neat, but I disagree with 60-70% of this. The way I see it, it wouldn't have the same effect if the protagonists were university students for example, as college/university is often something that people willingly take part of, in contrast to a high school environment. The idea of a couple of young teenagers, often considered just children by society, taking matters into their own hands and enacting social reform by targeting corrupt adults who rule the world they live in is a genius idea in my opinion. I think anyone who has graduated high school can resonate with and remember the feelings they had back during high school years of being restricted to what you could do and how you sometimes felt forced into a school system dictated by society. The reason why is because in general, I feel like high school is the perfect example of a form of societal prison. However, for Persona 5 in particular with the theme of rebelling against society, I think the high school setting with teenagers being the protagonists works perfectly. Regarding the idea of the adult cast, I think it could work depending on what themes the next Persona is trying to convey.
