Honest question: did ANYONE think Naoto was actually a dude before it was "revealed"?
>>740644673No, the guy they replaced Doi with only has 1 face for women and Naoto had it.
>>740644673No.But I was pretty confused when I kept hearing a woman's voice and everyone in the game kept referring to her as a boy. I ended up thinking it was a mix of the classic woman plays young child and bad voice acting until it was revealed she was indeed a girl.By the way, all the new sprites suck and there was ne need to remake P4.And fuck trannies for ruining striped thigh high socks.
>>740644673i know i did
>>740644673first time I played on ps2 I actually had my doubts since it was super normal for male characters to have female voice
>>740644673the only time i fell for this trope was with Fate samurai remnant.
>>740644673I couldn't fap to Naoto anymore after learning it was a female
>>740645140>I ended up thinking it was a mix of the classic woman plays young childThis, they made it seem like Naoto was just very young. Anyone who has ever seen animation before just saw that same thing
>>740644673i first found p4 when i was pretty young and new to anime stuff and couldnt fully comprehend the concepts of traps/reverse traps yet, so i actually did for a bit. i used to think makoto in street fighter was a boy too but thats more tomboy
>>740644673No because i never miss
>>740644673I mean look at her chest, it must be suffocating to wrap those udders to look like a boy. Also, coming from P3, she reminds me of P3 Makoto a lot.
>>740645241Wait this guy actually a girl?
She kind of looks like Minato in this image >>740645778 so yes I thought it was a boy at first
>>740644673Romi Paku voices both boys and girls so there was some confusion early on.Add that with Soejima's shit variety in "attractive teenager" designs that tend to look androgynous.
>>740646071no, he's a guy. i thought he was a girl, cuz every single Saber prior to him was female.
>>740644673If I played the Japanese dub, I would have been fooled. Every English VA fails to sell her "disguise" the second she opens her mouth
>>740645241>Introduce the cutest saber by far>Make it a trapI hate tourist astolfofags so much
>>740645241Its intentionally left ambiguous. Neither has been confirmed.
>>740647018he's obviously a guy.
>>740645140Yeah, it's probably less jarring in Japan where it's nothing special for women to voice boys up until high school age.
>>740645140>I ended up thinking it was a mix of the classic woman plays young child and bad voice actingI think they tried to play into this in the original dub, her JP voice actress has had a lot of young male roles
People are speculating that she's going to be dubbed by a transformer, but the three words we did hear in the trailer did not sound Optimus Prime-ish to me. Though obviously it's very little to go by.
>>740646349Then that's not the trope, idiot.
>>740647792He's probably unfamiliar to the bifauxnen concept.
>>740647169just because it has a penis doesn't mean it's a guy
>>740644673>keeps saying she’s a boy>but stinks like a girlwho would really for it?
>>740644673Retards maybe. I just gave her a permanent slot cause she had a gun. She had a gun dude.
Is Naoto the queen of reverse traps?
>>740647863At least half of the main team apparently.
>>740647792>>740647856in that case it would just be bifauxjo
>>740647937Oh, right. I confused that character who's actually a trap compared to Naoto's bifauxnen gimmick.
>>740644673Because a woman could never be a detective. Especially not a good one.
I mean xhe is biologically a dude.
>>740647018His father literally calls him son in his own memories.
>>740651107That is contrary to the game. Her other says she's not a man>そもそもオトコじゃないのに、 強い大人の男になんて、なれる訳ないだろ
>>740644673For a very short amount of time, until it was clear he wasn't delivering bishonen fanservice. The other police officers don't treat her like a too young male as well. I played in JP with JP voice if that matters. I found it bizarre when I ran into trannies that absolutely insisted this was the story of their lives.Pic related won't upload.https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/6/6e/Naoto_reading.png
Will they be bringing back characteristics? Because I'm not sure if they should.
>>740644673Pretty boys in anime isn't exactly a new thing. Though the script was as subtle as a sledgehammer about it
>>740653062Well, being subtle means you have insane trannies going on a rampage like with GG strive.
>>740653139even doe strive wasnt subtle about it at all
>>740651615
>>740655191my beautiful husband
Let me know how they will censor this shit.
>>740644673Yeah, people thought Naoto was somehow door.
>>740645140Trannies don't exist irl.It's on you for being terminally online
>>740644673Yes when I played it when I was 12
>>740659415What’s up tranny
>>740644673It wasn't even a "surprise" in japan. The thing was to guess and find out why she's a little off. I remember hearing and seeing that she was the bustiest even prior release.T. Old man anon with jap knowledge
>>740644673what's with the huge gap between her eyes?
>>740661883Different artstyle, and people need to remember this isn't in house. I'm not saying this isn't a good thing. Maybe they'll blame tose or leave the game intact because of this. Even in japan people are worried about any potential changes for western "fans"
>>740661883All fucking Persona characters now suffer from this shit and it pisses me SO MUCH. It was the same in P5 already. I hope modders will try to fix that because the incompetent devs are definitely leaving this as is.
>>740644673You can clearly tell it's a woman.
>>740662398>this isn't in housereally? they outsourced it to India?
>>740661883original artists intent
She always sounded like a girl posing as a guy, but I thought the real twist in P4 is turns out Naoto was the girl with biggest tits and maybe only second to Riise in being gorgeous.
>>740663079This is arguably only an issue in the west, where people will insist on having men voice boys, even prepubescent ones. In Japan, Naoto is voiced by the lady who voiced Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. She voices more boys than girls, so it wasn't that suspicious.
Think they'll let Izanagi have its original affinities or will they nerf it? They completely revamped the affinities for Orpheus, Thanatos and Messiah in P3R.
Noot's mega cannons
>>740662894No, it's be a japanese support studio. They've been around for years. They're called tose
>>740664068*It's aI don't know why I became a pirate there
>>740644673>>740655191how can she hide her gigantic udders
>>740644673No?I think this was literally the only thing I was spoiled on before getting into persona 4, but even then, come on...
>>740662913Kanji is a lucky boy
>>740644673she was voiced by one of those japanese voice actors that routinely plays little boys in shonen anime doing her boy voice, so it was reasonable to think it was a boy character in japanese. In english the VA was so feminine it never crossed my mind the game intended her to be read as a boy. They could have gotten some VA like Bart Simpson's and just didn't
>>740644673How can I stop myself from choosing Naoto every single time that I play P4?
>>740663754The fact that she "passed" but in the meantime she has the biggest tits of all the group really makes you think.
>>740665071Mentally ill women enroll themselves in school as a runaway teenage boy more often than you think.
>>740664926You can't. Sometimes one of the girls is the one. I pick Yukiko every time.
>>740644673everyone that says they didn't are lying or got spoiled.
>>740665418or played with the dub
>>740665361Yeah but she has *big* bazongas. Bigger than rise i mean it's impossibile she could pass.
>>740644673Yeah, absolutely. It was more ambiguous in the original P4 art/models, and male characters having female VAs was super common. Unfortunately, like most stories that have been well-known for a while, present-day knowledge tends to affect our hindsight, and it's very well-known now that Naoto's a woman.
>>740665530Big naturals can be squished close to a girl's chest with the aid of some tight cloth bindings.
>>740644673i did when i originally played golden on the vita when i was a teenager. i didn't know anything about persona and pretty much bought the game because a review in a gaming magazine said you could date girls in it. so i romanced rise in my first playthrough and got surprised by the naoto reveal. i've romanced naoto in every run of 4 i've done since then though.
>>740665597>>740665946You guys are nuts. The dub is as feminine as a makeup commercial. It never crossed my mind it wasn't supposed to be a woman from the first line she speaks in Kanji's mom's store until the party members used male pronouns.
>>740666007i wasn't very famliar with anime tropes back then, i guess. maybe i just figured it was all leading to a joke about naoto not feeling like a real man for being small and having a high voice or something. to be fair, i also thought dojima was the killer in my first playthrough, i remember having to look up the correct choice and finding out adachi did it that way.
>>740662398TOSE is nothing more than a support studio. P3/P4/P5R have all been done by a C Team since the B Team got promoted to handle P6 and the A Team left with Hashino to do Metaphorm
>>740651356Mordred calls Saber "dad" too.
>>740661883That's what a lot of Soejima designs look like. It's actually bigger in the original.
>>740644673Why are her eyes so far apart
>>740666432They announced tose as the main developers when itnwas first revealed. Persona studio is just overseeing the project
>>740644673Yes.
>>740644673Yes, in artworks until I got see her in gameplay. Then the facade slipped.
