>People that refer to this dude as Ren Amamiya>Not just calling him "Joker"People that do this come off as pretentious af. I was reading the Persona thread from yesterday and someone brought this up and it honestly makes sense. Even if it's his default name, they never actually say Ren in any of the games, just Joker. It's some random text that you can find in the game files, but no one ever actually calls him this in game. It feels very performative, like when English speakers will say the Japanese title of an anime or show instead of just using the English translation that like 90%+ of people know the media as. It's also dumb when you realize they call him Akira Kurusu in the manga.
....he's called Ren in the spinoffs.
Joker is ambiguous with the other JokerSo when I'm trying to get AI to write sexy stories about Persona 5 characters it starts writing about Batman Joker fucking Makoto
>>731007893>He's called Ren in the games no one playsIf Morgana calls him Joker, I'm going to call him Joker.
>>731007906Saying Ren as to not confuse him for the Batman Joker is probably the best explanation I've heard
>>731008753except there are almost zero scenarios where that confusion can even happen in the first place.
>>731007646Oh, shut up.
>>731007646I named him Diddy Blud
>>731007646Pathetic, you created this thread because you got butthurt in the other thread where everyone called you a retard for this retarded take.
>>731007646I do that whenever I replay a pokemon game
>>731007646Anon, this is an extremely specific problem to your own echo chamber. A thousand people worldwide, max
>>731007646I would never call them Makoto, Kotone, Yu or Ren, because I value that the characters were my own with their own names and personalities. That being said I think there's a functional use for Ren as referring to the blandest of the bland official personality and canon actions of Joker. That guy's Ren.
>>731009227No they're right. Everyone calls him Joker, why do you think you can call him Ren?
>>731007646Well we've been calling the other protagonist by their "canon" name so it makes sense to continue the trend with this game. I'm not calling this faggot Joker as he simply isn't Joker to me, Joker is a batman villain. Also I still call Door-kun Minato because I like that name more than Makoto
>>731014031Smash Bros tourist.
>>731007646Do you call Ann Ann or do you call her Panther?Oh, you call her Ann? Either you call everyone by their names, or everyone by their codenames. You don't get to pick and choose you faggot.
>>731007646>like when English speakers will say the Japanese title of an anime or show instead of just using the English translationBecause I don't discuss things with normalfags I don't know the English title of shit to begin with. Maybe you should stay in your little facebook circles where you can talk about your EOP garbage instead of trying to discuss things with the big boys who know more than you.
>>731007646people will use whatever is easiest for them based on the media they consumed. you probably just played different stuff to themsometimes the person who calls joey 'jonouchi' isn't a poser, they actually grew up watching it subbed because that's how it aired in their country growing up. or whatever
>>731008863Well someone just mentioned how AI confused them
>>731014418That's the only thing that makes sense. In the actual Persona game NO ONE says the name Ren. >>731014343The other Persona protagonists aren't named though so that makes sense. If you just refer to the protagonist of P5 as "Joker", everyone knows who you're talking about and you don't sound like a pretentious faggot>>731011330People on here call him Ren, it's annoying, stop it
>>731015256>The other Persona protagonists aren't named thoughThey are named though. They have canon names that are used in the anime respective to each entry/spinoffs and if you didn't just discover the series through smash ultimate you'd know that. If anything, you name the protagonist yourself, would you also complain if I just went around using the name I gave him in my playthrough?
>>731014706Vast majority of this site are English speakers. Most people grew up with dubbed and then transitioned to subbed once we started going to the source. It's like the whole Aeries/Aerith thing. Even though her official name is Aerith, she was known as Aeries in the English translation. They eventually changed her name to Aerith in the remakes, but you would only know her official name was "Aerith" because you went online and discovered that, not from playing the game.
>>731015447>hey have canon names that are used in the anime Of course, theyre in the anime. I'm talking about in game. They just gave them a name for the show because it makes it easier to write lines of dialogue. In the game, no one uses their official "canon" name, so unless youre talking about the anime, it's silly to use that name.
>>731015707>I'm talking about in gamePersona 3-5 aren't one off games you fucking idiot. They have sequels and other media as well, that are canon. You play Persona 3-5 once then you play multiple other things that come out for them. This effects how people view those characters and will influence things like what name we call the protagonists.
>>731015908In Persona 5 the main character is called Joker by everyone and anyone. I don't see a reason to use Ren since he already has a given name unlike the protagonists in 3 and 4.>>731014445The difference is that even outside the Metaverse they call him Joker so that doesn't make as much sense.
>>731016197>I don't see a reason to use RenThen don't. If you call him Joker nobody will question you. Stop crying like a little bitch.
>>731007646You're still mad about this? Jesus...
>>731016303They're not saying anything about THEM using Joker, they are saying everyone should use that name and if you use the name Ren you're a tool.
>>731007646>instead of just using the English translation that like 90%+ of people know the media asGet the fuck off my board. I wish normalfags like you would get their own fucking hobby.
