>>737780861rise
>>737780861Sumire mogs easily.
I'd like Sumire more if they weren't terrified of using her more due to the Marie backlash in 4G.As it stands she can't really measure up to Futaba.
>>737780861It's Sumire for me. Shame that Marie fucked things up so badly that Atlus was really scared of backlash so they didn't commit fully to her.
>>737781158It's been 10 years, 7 since Royal, what else is there to discuss?
>>737781826>the Iliad is 3000 years old bruh, there's nothing to discussreally nigga?
>>737780861Yes and anyone who disagrees is wrong and a faggot.

>>737781517>>737781584Was it really that or that they were too cheap to pay for her to be added to the vanilla game cutscenes? They even cut the anime scene where Joker returns to Leblanc after being in prison because they couldn’t be assed to add Sumire to it.
>>737780861Kawakami
>>737782134Anyone who likes this girl must be some in his 30s or something.
>>737782236I just remember pre-release interviews for Royal where the staff definitely seemed concerned about what kind of reception she was going to have which is why I played it on the side of caution. I think some people dug into the files and found some stuff that hinted she was supposed to join the party during the main game, even early on when Mona was still acting as the Navigator,

>>737785480What a coincidence. I just bought P3R on sale. Do you happen to know what I'M in for?
>>737785480>what am I in for?Long intro, otherwise good.If you miss catching a Persona in a dungeon, you can get it on the co-responding level of Mementos. I enjoyed Mementos, but you kinda have a hard limit early on with how much you can heal yourself. Also leveling gets easy once you can just run over random Shadows.Also when you get close to the boss for the Space Station, if you get fed up with the gimmick you can just swap out for one of the DLC personas and cheese it.

>>737788417It's a result of them being too lazy to make any variables which is why everything you do in S-Links is never mentioned in the main game.
>>737788307Yes, so does Ren. She literally tells him to wait for her if you finish her social link, promising that they will meet again in the future.
>>737788307I can tell a tumblr fujo made this
>>737788569and then she got banished to the DLC realm and they never met again...
>>737788732More like the game just ended, Ren left town at the same time, and since Strikers is no longer canon after Royal came out then you could say the same about Ren. I guess he died or something according to your logic.
>>737788307>that picBizarre cuck fantasy.
Joker ends up with Morgana (feral)
It feels like P5 got a low amount of spin-offs in general despite getting 4 games. Dance, Strikers, Q2 and Tactica. Strikers even setup some kind of follow up being set during the Winter, but that never happened. The fighting game never happened.
>>737780861Sae
>>737789031>The fighting game never happened.Maybe the Persona 4 fighting game didn't sell well and Atlus got spooked
>>737789142I think it's a case of Arcsys being in much greater demand now than they were during Arena. Marvel/Sony would probably pay far more than Atlus ever could.
Girls in 5 are so shit. Kinda glad 3 and 4 have gotten/are getting remakes so 5newfags can be exposed to good girls.

I thought she was actually cute like the P3 teacher, not a literal prostitute
>>737781158>BIRD BRIDE
>>737781090>>737781457>>737782836>>737786690>>737788887I really like Sumire but seeing how her romance comes pretty late in the game I think I will just go with Futaba
Can I do a true harem route in P5 without any consequences? Can I do that in any persona game? If yes than ill play whatever game that is.
>>737789976You can do it in P4, but not P4 Golden because they added those new valentines scenes where if you don't meet up with your girlfriend she'll still give you a gift and then say some stuff about how you're probably going to see another girl because why else wouldn't you be able to see her on ValentinesP5 has a similar thing where all the girls you're dating show up at your houseIn PS2 P3 there was no platonic option at all
>>737789976Yes, you can. When Valentine's Day comes all the girls will call you, and you can choose between one of them or spending Valentine's Day with your bros. If you choose a girl you'll have a normal Valentine's Day date with her, and she won't suspect anything in the future. Next day you will be beaten by all the other girls though.
>>737788417It is good when games dont give in-game benefits because then you would romance for build optimization rather than for the character.
>>737789628it's cute because you are her first and only customer, before you she wasn't getting any calls to the point her boss straight up told her if she doesn't shape up soon she's gonna have to start being more explict about what you should be calling her for as in she's legitimately gonna have to start whoring herself. but luckily she found you and you get to act as her sugar daddy til you use your memetos powers to solve her problems for her , then you start building a relationship, then she starts saying as soon as you hit legal age and graduate she's gonna bone you because you've proven you aren't just a horny kid after some easy pussy, basically it's simp culture before the phrase took off. meanwhile people going for Futaba and Sumire are groomers as both are mentally damaged girls who mistake their attachment to you for romance, if you try to get with them it's basically grooming, meanwhile going for Ann, Makoto and Haru is pretty whatever, I couldn't see them as romantic partners, but that's just me, I felt the same about Yu and Makoto's female companions as well, there's just no chemistry there for me, cool friends, not exactly girlfriend material
>>737780861Haru is best girl and her forehead is perfect for slapping my cock against it.
>>737789628>>turns out she CANONICALLY works in a part-time job were she jerks off old men in a maid costumeThats what you prevent from happening
>>737790470>meanwhile people going for Futaba and Sumire are groomers as both are mentally damaged girls who mistake their attachment to you for romancethis is the opinion every tranny on the p5 subreddit seems to have for some reason. Like literally, you see someone saying this, watch his profile image, it has that pink white and violet tranny flag heart
>>737788848Sttikers came out after Royal thoughbeit
>>737781072Her and Kawakami.>>737790641I really wonder what the JP dialogue is on this.I don't believe it was faithfully translated if it was even a little more explicit than that. I'd love to be wrong though I suppose.>>737790470>groomersStop trying to project fantasy video games onto real life, anon. No one had this issue 10 years ago and now you fuckers thing everyone who likes the anime girl is some kind of groomer.
>>737780861Yeah, it's Caroline.
>>737790470>people going for Futaba and Sumire are groomersweeb life simulator game with anime loli/self-insert romance IS grooming but not the way you think
>>737790797Strikers was being developed before Royal with the OG Persona 5 in mind. Pretty sure Strikers was primarily made by Omega Force and was just supervised by ATLUS too.It is not canon, think of it more as a "what if."
>>737790470Where it says you're her first costumer? I know it says she doesn't get called to ofter compared to her coworkers but she seemed to be on the job for a while in order to pay blackmailing couple>>737790641She was going to go FULL WHORE if required. But it's already implied that the maid job had at least handjob service when she says to Ren that he can't do some of her services because he's underage (it wasn't refering to the massage, because she comes a massages you regardless if you romance her or not)
>>737790641The one she's working at now is the handjob service.The one you're preventing her from working in is the full-on prostitution ring.
>>737780861This seems like the type of image to have a variant where they all have cum on their faces.
>>737790641>8 December>FRIDAY EVENING>[HOT NIGHT]what did they mean by this
>>737788417And yet Persona is still one of the best game series out there to do the dating thing since you can actually go on optional dates after you max out their links. There are plenty of games where you finish a romantic interest's storyline and they just become a fucking toy with a pull string to repeat the same 3 lines.
>>737791317and you sort of correct

>>737791426Outside of actual dating sims, Fire Emblem is still the king imo if you're someone that's into making virtual characters kiss.>most games that have supports will let you pair up each member of your army with multiple options, so it doesn't just turn into a MCsexual game>characters that get together actually fuck, and not the pussy fade to black whenever anything intimate shit that Persona does>depending on the game, you can get the offspring of your pairing in your army and then pair them up too>some games also have different dialogue that happens if characters that are max-ranked with each other interact>each pair gets an epilogue that describes what their relationship was like
>>737791705the fucking cat kills me
>>737790257>next day youll be beaten by all the othee girlsThis sounds like the exact opposite of what I want, I was really hoping that at least one of these games has a route where all or most of the girls know they are part of a harem and accept it and just keep on dating the protag together.
>>737791426I really think all they are missing is epilogues/endings, but I can understand why Atlus wouldn't do that since it would effect their spin-off plans.
>>737791823Keep hoping for P6, or see if you can mod the game further than sprites.
>>737789628The best Persona girls are always whores
>>737791823Fun fact, a harem ending was planned but it was cut from the final version of the game. Be faithful to your waifu.

>>737791925I liked Naoto more.But I like your way of thinking.
>>737791878I mean, it's pretty much expected now that a spinoff/sequel will never actually acknowledge any kind of MC romance route. So I don't see the harm in including an epilouge for each romance as a kind of>If the MC and [insert character] hooked up, this is what would happenIf you do it like FE does it, the only work that's required is typing up a page of story.
>>737791705Nice Futaba.
>>737792169That would be neat
>>737790641>Phantom Thieves ignore a full blown prostitution ring because lol I dunno
>>737792205That panda always reminds me of a Chinese girl much more so than a Japanese girl.
>>737792341Joker is pro-rape so of course he is pro-prostituion.
>>737780861The girl in the top right is non-canon, as she only exists in the cash grab downgrade edition.
>>737786690Built for standing split sex
>>737792341Joker prevents his girl from being involved in it, so why should he care what happens to the whores?
>>737792341Prostitution is legal in Japan
>>737792453While she didn't get much in spin-offs all the current marketing for PTs includes her.
>>737792393I assumed it's meant to be a Korean girl. It doesn't matter that much what race she's supposed to be, plenty of women from all over look like that.
>>737792453Royal is canon and improved the game in every way. You're just angry because you've already played the original game for like 60 hours and then Atlus added another 60 hours more of content and a new ending.
>>737792554It is kind of fucked up how all the marketing specifically has Kasumi in it. I get not wanting to spoil the twist, but it is in a way proving Sumire's right that nobody gives a fuck about her and just want her sister instead.
>>737780861yes
>>737792693Thats why I'm glad I stopped playing super early for some reason despite liking the game.Now I can enjoy Royal without feel like I'm playing on repeat.Also why tf does Atlus ALWAYS do that?
>>737791951>an actual good story was planned but kikes stepped in and ruined it so they could make the game into more jewish propagandaEvery day I get another data point that hitler was right and jews need to be erased.
>>737792693>Played P5 when it came out>Spent about 80-100 hours on my first playthrough>Walked away from it feeling generally positive about it>Played Royal when it came out>First Playthrough was 120 hours>Fucking loved it.I feel like I'm an abnormality. Perfect games cannot exist, but Royal is damn close to a perfect game for me. Royal is a damn long game, but it never felt long for me.
>>737792693The content was bad, the ending was worse, and parts of the original were censored.Only underage retards such as yourself would disagree that it was a downgrade.
>>737792720Is that so? When Sumire finally accepts that her sister died because of her she decides to keep wearing the same hairstyle as Kasumi to remember her. I think it's a pretty clever way to avoid spoiling the surprise and to stay true to Sumire's character development.
>>737792972Well damn, I shouldn't have read this thread. I never played Royal yet lmao. Oh well, she always seemed least interesting anyway.
>>737781158all the fanart shitting culture on 4chan comes from people that spend 90% of their time here bumping threads in /vg/
>>737792972>When Sumire finally accepts that her sister died because of her she decides to keep wearing the same hairstyle as Kasumi to remember her.she only does that when in when in the palace thoWhich does work for stuff that depicts Sumire in her PT outfit, but outside of that it makes no sense for her to look like that.
>>737793126The hilarious reality is that Atlus already sold Kasumi's design through marketing so she had to go back to the Kasumi look.
>>737781517>due to the Marie backlash in 4Gwhat was this likeI played it many years after and she does suck but I dunno if it was hissy fit worthy
>>737792730
>>737781158>asking this on the board that's been having Adachi did nothing wrong threads for almost 20 years straight now
>>737782368I am old and kinda liked her, to the point of not getting why she's such a pariah on the internet at least, but not my favorite
>>737793054
>>737782836people that have already played the game would all want to have a toggle that lets you add everyone in the game to the party even if they wouldn't even get voicelines yet, so we don't really count
>>737785885Based, even better. I'm not even joking, virigins disgust me. I want to have sex with experienced women only. Kawakami is the greatest ever because she has the experience of an older lady but still a cute disposition.
>>737793282
>>737780861the teacher
>>737793250We all like her. She is not a bad character at all.The problem is that her design is fucking boring. The Ohya from the concept art is ridiculously superior.
>>737789628the thing I really like about kawakami is that in this game where almost every girl like ann or makoto forces you to aggressively ask to date her with light hints at most, with kawakami she's actively trying to wall you off and crumbles as soon as you apply pressure in a hot way. Since girls always hounded you for your cock and were destroyed by being turned down in all the previous Persona games having this dynamic was new and cool
>>737785885out of ten
>>737793214It wasn't a huge shitshow or anything, but she simply wasn't popular even in Japan where she had one of the most popular female VAs at the time as well and even that VA couldn't make Marie popular in Japan.Intrusive is how I personally describe Marie. You go into the Velvet Room to do something and instead you get greeted with a Marie Scene and since Marie hangs out in the Velvet room it feels like you see her way too much. You need to do Marie's content in order to get to the new content in P4G. This is why you can tell that Atlus obviously took Marie into account when doing Kasumi which is why Kasumi is just a small chunk of the third semester and the true key to get into the third semester is Maruki. Kasumi's stuff just tied into Maruki's viewpoint and why Maruki's viewpoint is wrong.

>>737793468we've been robbed so bad
>>737793692>direct sequelLmao you mean that shitty spin-off that was made from a different studio?
>>737780972There is 4 or so spinoffs though, including a dungeon crawler, a tactical SRPG, a musou, a rhythm game, and a gacha, plus the expanded port.
>>737793540I know people say she has no screentime but she really has no screentime PLUS she's in a cornball oujo stereotype space that needs even more screentime to climb out of that she doesn't get. If she was just a broad cartoon all the way through like Yusuke she might work OK witht he time she does get
>>737793540She's the only one I felt about rejecting.
>>737793692I will never care about chie liek meat spinoffs anon
>>737793329>>737793664Funny how you never see this kind of posting from mainline Shin Megami Tensei fans. Why, pray tell, is that?
>>737793501It's a bit funny how Kasumi was in all the marketing but Maruki is the real star of the Royal content by far. but the cute redhead is more marketable and Maruki's arc was better left entirely unknown going in.
>>737793692At this point all the marketing acknowledges Kasumi as a member of the PTs including the multiple collabs Atlus does with other IPs. Royal does enough to justify why Sumire wouldn't be there since she would be busy with Summer Camp and while she is friendly with the rest of the PTs the only one she really knows is Joker so of course nobody else would really bring her up.
>>737793468WHAT WERE THEY THINKING
>>737793540She would have been more popular if they gave her a ponytail than whatever hairstyle she has
>>737793902>he doesnt know about the infamous cucked crying demon controversy from smtivfake fan + ngmi

>>737792730Tae's English VA in the original P5 was a neutron bomb on her fandom even as horny as it is written
>Tactica acknowledges Royal>P5X acknowledges RoyalThose are the latest spin-offs we got. I don't get why people are still making this argument over half a decade later when it's clear what Atlus thoughts on it are.

>>737782324b-b-b-based
>>737794229Who is Alzen
>>737794229Pre-release everyone knew something was up with Maruki, but nobody was expecting his character to be as good as it was and for him to be the real true star of the third semester. People were expecting P4G V2 where Kasumi was going to be the center of it, but instead Kasumi is just one part of the third semester.
>>737791095Strikers is canon and doesnt contradict anything from Royal. It even has the grapple that made it into Royal.
>>737793501Her SL is a fucking disaster. They constantly have the OG team coincidentally show up in every fucking stage of it, and like 90% of players will do at least half of the SL in the fog in december with ambient horror music playing in every scene and silent hill fog
>>737794339The two games were developed in parallel so some ideas were shared between Atlus and Koei TecmoSimilar situation to Arceus and gen 9

>>737794436the old farts that have been at the top didn't just want to be in the persona mines their entire career and no one in the whole industry has really been prepared for how long games take to make now
>>737780861I pick her every time
>>737794229NTA but I played P5R completely blind and without knowing anything about what was old or new. At first I thought Sumire was the main antagonist given the rumors that a black-masked villain was roaming the palaces, then it turned out she was best girl and my bro Maruki was insane out of grief and trying to brainwash the whole world. It was all a great surprice to me, the plot was a bit stupid from time to time but I really loved the game.
>>737794540isn't that screenshot from a game where someone friendzoned her because the 10 stars aren't hearts
>>737794229It was clear he was going to be important and probably an antogonist but no one knew he was going to be the main villain of a whole new third of the game and a straight up better final boss than Yaldy.
>>737794512this but the arrows are the opposite direction
>>737794436I think the director for P6 is quite literally stuck. Hashino pretty much had the freedom to what he wanted with P3 because the series didn't have as much fame attached to it. Atlus won't let P6 deviate too much from the formula that Hashino has developed for the series so I'm pretty sure they are breathing down the director's neck and questioning every single choice that they have made.The question also is how do you top a game that had the kind of reception that P5 had?My viewpoint is that they really do not need to re-invent the wheel. Just do a new setting, or even a period piece like the 70s/80s Japan, keep everything that they have damn near perfected in terms of gameplay with Royal and focus on character writing/story and introduce proper difficulty.
>>737785885Why cant 3rd worlders read?
>>737794543cool, it didn't even cross my mind to think Kasumi was the obvious suspect for the black mask hinting shit because I was used to the story already
name a more overrated game, no one cares about this game anymore, specially after expedition 33
>>737794624'80s period piece would be the easiest bunt humanly possible
>>737793501>>737794365Marie is just a reminder that there is a right and very wrong way to write a tsundere character.Ai has a similar personality, but her plotline is 100x more interesting than Marie's despite her having all that extra Velvet Room and Fog stuff going on in her story.Also doesn't help that your reward for doing Marie's SL is being forced to do the shittiest and most tedious dungeon in the game.
>>737794658politics is such a bad fit for linear calendar games
>>737794604The thing about Maruki is that I wouldn't even call him a villian. Maruki is an antagonist in the true sense of the word in that his values just clash against the PT's own values which is also why Maruki is so good because he isn't villainous at all. He's a genuinely good person who just went down a bad path because he didn't want others to face hardships.Shooting god in the face on Christmas is cool, but the game ending on a very strong personal arc with someone who was a supportive confidant for most of the game was far better.
>>737794624There's definitely internal expectations, but the real problem is actually external expectations.Persona 5 is a great game, but when it came out, JRPGs as a genre were seen as hopelessly outdated. Persona 5 made them refreshing and bold for a new generation and kickstarted a new JRPG golden age.However, this is 2026, and we live in a post E33 and BG3 world. The quality standard for tentpole roleplaying games has increased massively and so has the audience expectation, here in the west.Persona 6 is probably going to be less warmly received if it is a marginal sequel that only refines instead of reinventing. Let's not forget Starfield, although TBF there were many factors working against that particular game such as the fact it was shit, so perhaps that's a poor example. I think some of you will know what I mean though. Complacency won't get the industry taking Atlus seriously again.
>>737794917I wonder how much they kick themselves for not just going a super fast reused asset sequel to 5 like 4 was to 3. Would have gotten covid fucked tho
>>737781158>ummm but actually [wrong thing to do] isn't actually wrong???>posts peepeepoopoo the memetoad and/or slowjak the retarded ms paint character, depending on if he's depicting himself or another posterWhy are contrarians so innately worthless?
>>737795008The funny thing is that it pretty much happened anyways. P5X despite being a gacha game is just Persona 5-2.
>>737792341Anon, multiple confidants hang around the prostitution district on prostitution street. Makoto even asks you to take her on a first date there.
>>737794725Was she actually a tsundere in the japanese version, the english localization text was so bad it felt like someone that had never watched an anime looked up the term tsundere on wikipedia
>>737794658People would still talk about it if it had romance
>>737788887it was made by a fag
>>737795008Well, they basically have with the Persona 3 Remake and Metaphor. Which is actually another point I forgot to mention, Atlus have oversaturated their own monopoly, and the increasingly lukewarm reception to all of their RPGs in the last few years reflects that.
>>737794917>and BG3What does that game have to do with JRPGs?
>>737793508oh shit thats the mom and the girl who have the old dog
>>737794917Atlus praised E33, so we can expect something similar. I don't think they'd have the nerve to create such a sad and dramatic story as E33 for fear of alienating a fanbase who is used to happy teen adventures, but they might add parries and other stuff.
>>737794302>People were expecting P4G V2nigga if you are drawing comparison to rerelease version of P4 then it only gets more blatant, or do i need to remind you who were the extra SLs in that game? who could forget the seemingly unassuming yet newly added character (assuming you knew of P5R additions)?probably same people who were really impressed with baby's first lotus eaters dilemma and started spouting maruki dindu nuffin but unironically
>>737795254>haveYou mean had the old dog.
>>737794917if they still have hot teenager anime designs in a dating sim RPG it will work out fine, even if westoid critics start sucking their teeth. I'm not saying this as one of the usual /v/ histrionic coomers either.
>>737794658I like it fine, but it's not my favorite ATLUS title by far. I'm into the contrast between Will/The Prince and Louis , though. It's not brave, but it's brave by ATLUS standards.Shame you're not allowed to date, but I guess it makes enough sense, even if I'd have really liked to hook up with Brigitta.
>>737795210Everything. I can't believe I have to explain this but I work in the industry and the titles that truly make an impact on development are always obvious when you're behind the scenes.Why that game was such an unexpected wild success is going to be analysed by every studio for the next few years, even gacha and JRPG studios based in Asia. BG3 has literally changed so many projects midway throug, the impact is probably even greater than P5 launching in 2016 in terms of impact.
>>737794917The thing is despite many games copying Persona none of them nail the balance of Life Sim and Dungeon stuff like Persona does and that is the part of the series I find to be utterly addictive. I also think that the new director just needs to jump into the pool at this point and deal with whatever happens.
>>737794436Look at it this way. Persona 5 released massively unfinished with major rewrites and entire character arcs that couldnt make it into the game because of time constraints.Audiences loved that. Praised that element specifically.What the fuck are you supposed to do now as a writer?
>>737795456lol
>>737795456so basically its the elden ring effect all over againhow wonderfulcan't wait to see what shittiness comes to my fav rpg series after all my action games were ruined
>>737792393dey arr rook same
>>737795456I really don't see how a game like BG3 could effect Persona. A Persona game will never offer the level of freedom as something like a BG3 and nor should it. They are two very different types of games despite both being nested under RPG. I wouldn't want to see a Persona game where I could pick and chose party members and not get others because I picked another one or miss out on dialogue because I'm not using a certain party setup.I want Atlus to continue to perfect what they are doing and not re-invent the damn wheel.
>>737785480>what am I in for?20 hours of tutorials.
>>737794436>Replacing el director with whatever the fuck that isC'mon, man.
What are the recent big anime trends they'll have to insert into P6? webnovel isekai and demon slayer?
>>737795629You don't understand. You're looking at this from a design perspective only. What's happening is the suits saying to everyone else "We need to copy what is currently popular in the market because every headline is about this roleplaying game making money. We want a piece of that pie".It literally doesn't matter how different BG3 is, do you think the people who are scrambling to make all these dumb changes know or care about the intricacies of design work? No. They just demand the design change to chase trends.Again, I know this from first hand experience from where I work, some of our departments literally had to drop everything to trendchase.
>>737782134>>737782368>>737793250>>737793468By far the biggest problem with Ohya is that her entire fucking social link happens in that fucking bar. You just sit there and they say 'wow there sure are interesting things happening somewhere else huh' as she gives you yet another completely worthless or actively detrimental ability, and she doesn't even have an interesting draw as a character otherwise.
>>737795415It'd be hard to justify and romantic route when you're the future king and they're teasing a sequel
>>737795837That, and her face is fucking dumb. Her hairstyle is ugly too.
>>737795830Yeah. I don't expect Atlus to do that with what is one of their most popular franchises especially when Japan is utterly stubborn about change. I imagine it's more a scenario of the new director having the suits down their neck because they want to change something from Hashino's established formula.Atlus won't take a major risk with P6 because they are probably going to be using it in marketing deals for a decade.
>>737795896Yeah, I know. Still. :(
>>737795830if they had suits that bad they'd have never been allowed to make metaphor. There are tons of public corporate subsidiary japs devs that don't work at all like western AAA, mainly because on a financial scale the budgets are tiny
>>737794223Technically Haru DID get more screen time
>>737795896>sequelYeah, that's not gonna happen. No matter how much some people try to deny it, the game was not successful. This is the only place on the whole internet that still talks about Metaphor sometimes. No fanarts, no memes, no nothing. It is forgotten.
>>737796097That isn't the measure of a successful game, that's the measure of waifufags and fujos obsessing over anime girls/femboys
>>737795689well i also dont know wtf that is in your image so the feeling is mutual
>>737794052Q
>>737795964I'm about to go to bed so I can't give my full thoughts, but I really want to get this one thing through to you. I mean this in the gentlest, nicest way, this is naive. Please please please understand that Atlus is a public company and literally every shareholder for every roleplaying game company started asking questions about BG3 and applying pressure after they saw the dollar bills. Stubbornness means nothing when there is the perception of big money involved.I'm about to leave the industry and go work back home in a shitty job just because the industry is so fucking bad, please listen to me, I'm not trying to get you down but I don't want you to delude yourself. I agree with what you're saying however companies are so stupid that they only see the money, not the logic behind it and how catastrophic the risk of damaging their own IPs is while chasing trends.
>>737796164Ultimately, it is the people who keep something alive and profitable. When no one talks about your product you lose. Persona 5 is like 10 years old or something? Yet here we are talking about the girls butts and tits almost daily and meanwhile the game keeps selling well.
>>737796189Fascinating...Mine's the Director for Project Moon, who makes Limbus Company. The meme came from one of the roadmap streams for the game.
>>737795837chess girl is pretty much like that too though, she's just a sexy teen rather than old and gross
>>737796294uuuh mine is the depressed wagie from wuthering waves
>>737796274let me guess, you are a scripter or junior designer and now you have been given a redundancy slip
>>737796468Sweet. And now we both know.
>>737796291>original, bizarre looking IP>doesn't rely on teenage waifu sex>over 13k reviews on Steam, when it did best on consolesSuccess is not made into failure just because it's not AS successful
>>737796519honestly i dropped it, wuwa does not have a good story at all, maybe limbus will be my next gacha to try out, after i play the first two games of course
>>737796274I hope things turn around for you devfriendo
>>737795456>japs actually looking outsidelol>copying BG3looking forward to more mass effect copycats lmao
>>737796604You don't have to play the first two per se, but it'll give you more of an attachment to what's going on for sure.I wish you the best. Please mod as you feel you need, so that you actually enjoy your experiences with the first two- and whenever you get to Limbus, toss a friend request at E687530502. I try to keep some of the good stuff in my supports, and it should help you blow through some of the awkward early Cantos.
Persona 4 is miles better mate 5 was trying too hard to be cool
>>737793902Mostly because SMT barely has any noteworthy women barring literal demons.
Caroline and Justine > Lavenza
>>737799324But Aleph's motherwife
I keep forgetting Haru exists.
>>737799681Most people do so that's why whenever she's mentioned she always has a new retarded meme personality
>>737780861Persona 5 girl?Kawakami easy.Best girl out of phantom thieves?I’m gonna say Haru despite the devs best efforts shafting her.
>>737780861>Draw 25 year olds>Call them 16Japan needs to move past their high school obsession.
>>737799745Why did they introduce her so late in the game?By the time she shows up, You've already spent at least 50 hours talking to everyone and you're pretty much ready to fight the final boss.
>>737780861It's Haru>>737780972Hey my wife Ijichi
>>737799918Atlus really really really really wanted you to pick Makoto. Or Kasumi in Royal
>>737794594No.You get that if you open the menu and check her status if she is around doing chores.
>>737792531Horrible character design.
>>737799918the "putting everything together" stage of the game happens way the fuck later after they've sunk tons of costs into her designs and models and etc. and shit gets lost in the shuffle.
>>737800253tl;drfaggot complaining that he can't fuck Ryuji in Strikers
>>737800253What she actually needs is a 10m long red ribbon as a tassel on the hilt of her sword. The problem with the design is that by cleanly trying to combine 'ballerina' with 'masked thief' they ended up with a design that is a half-hearted attempt at both that fulfills neither.
>>737800330This guy is a loser, but I wouldn't mind having the option to date the boys.
>>737800330Cool to see my OC gets posted >>737800374GAY.
>>737800408>I wouldn't mind having the option to date the boysThat wouldn't be an issue but it just invites more niggers like him and makes talking persona just overall worse. Just look at Fire Emblem
>>737780861H-how does a jawjob feel? I didn't even know I had this fetish FUCK
>>737800495I'd waiting for all the replies from the quad-teenager blowjob getters in the thread
>>737800473ugh tell me about it. They don't even care. It's all politics to them. George Takei begged them not to turn Sulu into a homosexual because he believes it doesn't add anything to the character but they did it anyways.
>>737800408the massive waste of development resources always makes me say please don't. look at cyberpunk where two romance characters out of four probably get 1% of the interaction, and the lesbian for women gets maybe 15%, because they had to poz an audience of almost entirely young male nerds.
>>737795837I like Ohya, to me she only has one flaws: Being romanceable. It kinda disrupt completely her story, honestly Sae makes nore sense to me. But as far as a social link about a reporter can go, it is very interesting to me at least.It could be so much worse, you guys have bo fucking idea how bad written and annoying a reporter story/background can be.
>>737780972zoomer and gen alpha really live in the worst gaming era.
>>737800906>maya without the optimismno thanks
>>737800906Sae would only make sense as a romance if it was a completely reckless breakdown of her whole social character. It sounded like the hottest doujin shit ever when I heard they cut it but it probably just sucked and was some normal rank 9 blushy face crap and that's why it was axed
>>737791361euro bro...
>>737801109I think it could've worked if the game went with the original concept of having Joker live with the Nijima's instead of Sojiro's attic. But yeah, with what they ended up going with her romance would've made zero sense.
>>737780861why aren't there any persona 5 nude mods?
>>737780861As far as the girls in the party go it always felt like a competition between Ann and Makoto, they had the most chemistry with Ren. Well, as much chemistry as you can have with a plank of wood
>>737801825Aren't you forgetting someone?
>>737780861The real question is, do you piss on them or cum on them first?
>>737794540 i also love this side character who gets 8 minutes of screen time in a 150 hour game. it wouldn't be the same story without her.
>>737780861Imagine sticking sticking in between their chins and they give you a chin job.
>>737781398I wonder how many ugly old producers she fucked to get that gig.
>>737781398>Hagse
>>737780861Ann, by far
for me it's takemi but of the main girls it's futaba
>>737793501>>737794725I get the criticism towards Marie but she still is my favorite persona girl
>Metaphor underperformed hard>not even the sightly hint of Persona 6>P4R is only getting made because they can reuse the assets from P3RThe future seems dire
>>737800253I love Persona fana
>>737794436They took a detour to create Metaphor to experiment with the gameplay. I think they're making it now, but only have done so much now.
>>737794725I love Ai
P3: MitsuruP4: YukikoP5: SaeThe only objectively right choices for adult heterosexual men. All of them are hard working, successful, and intelligent while also wearing stockings and lingerie and would make top tier mothers. Makoto can replace Sae if it needs to be from the party.

>>737780861I enjoyed the game but honestly have no attachment to any of them.Makoto is the hottest but she's so insanely boring I can't bring myself to care.

>>737811086There was no discussion 1 week after the release they were aiming for a new IP to milk and they failed on sales predictions and relevance
For me, it has to be Futaba.
>>737809546The absolute death silence of Persona 6 worries me it's been 10 years already since P5 released.
>>737810782>>737811210I don't even like Makoto but porn of her in her PT outfit with a giga-offmodel ass just hits right.
>>737811698It's probably in development hell either from the production side or scenario side, and I guess Metaphor not meting the expectations after 8 years is making the big chairs at Atlus panic which is increasing the pressure on the team to deliver them a hit.
>>737811372>>737811632That too>>737811281Yeah, it's a shitty relic of the PS2 era which they're desperately clinging to so they can double dip on retards. Even despite the extras usually sucking I still find myself waiting just because I would feel stupid if I didn't, already happened once with p5.

Man, fuck Atlus. They wring every single drop of financial benefit out of each Persona, then come up with new ways to make more money. They're more content with selling shitty spin-offs and re-releasing the game in a more-complete state then they are actually making new Persona games. I feel like there's a dedicated, passionate development team that's just buried under piles of executive fatcats diverting valuable manpower into dead-horse-beaters.Persona 6 is only going to happen once Persona 5 (and the inevitable second wind from the Persona 4 remake) have fully dried up.
>>737794365Don't forget that Marie also retroactively rewrites the plot, cause now she'll show up in certain scenes she was never part of and be the one to give the clue for the IT to move on to the next part of the mystery instead of their original line, which is more forceful injection into the plot and takes away the original value of the scene. Marie is just absolutely the poochi of the series, and a huge reason why I unironically recommend people try Persona 4 vanilla instead of Golden.

>>737782450Yeah, she has animations at Leblanc's attic implying she was going to join at some point during the main game.I figured there'd be a mod that used it by now, but it looks like there isn't.The only thing I found besides the fanficy Rose & Violet is this mod that adds her to the party in Shido's Palace, meaning you can use her in 3 dungeons instead of just 1.https://gamebanana.com/mods/478577
They will never be topped.

>>737780861No, game is still on my backlog
>>737780861Unironically Ohya and it's not even close.>only one to figure out Shido's bullshit without magic powers>only one who actually does something useful when getting Joker out of jail>kept working an abusive job just for the chance of saving her friend>tirelessly works to expose abusers even when she catches shit for it>never gave up on her search>never said "oh well there's nothing more I can realistically do">never decides to slack off at her job even though she's overworked and needs to drink herself to sleep every night>secretly a cute spergShe's by far the most competent and loyal of the entire game's cast. Best girl, hands down.>b-b-b-but she's not a teenage supermodel!>b-b-b-b-but alcohol is icky!Yeah it's cool that you're 13 and all, but when it comes down to choosing a partner in life, when you're picking who will have your back when shit hits the fan, I'm not going to pick the girl who cries because you left her alone in a mall for 5 minutes, and I'm not picking the teacher-whore who swept up for a serial rapist to protect her career. I'm picking the woman that I know is never going to quit fighting for those that she cares about, no matter what it costs. The others are great fap material. Ohya is wife material.
