Yeah, ultimately the reality is there really isn't an appetite for good writing, just something with the veneer of good writing.
True, but Earthbound was made back before formulas were as calcified as they are today. I would say that if you are 30 years old and have played enough games since the SNES era you have basically seen it all, just with the aesthetic suit switched out. That's what I am driving at.
IIRC, the entire reason the Persona series exists because SMT IF'S high school setting sold really well. No way they'll ever do a Persona game with adults.
But that did let it be a stealth Etrian Odyssey sequel which was the best part of the game. I'm really glad I didn't get spoiled on that.
if you watch The Amazing Digital Circus and would find essays praising the characters having realistic panic attacks interesting,
It's beyond time for a new SMT spinoff. Or a persona spinoff. You'd think this would happen after 4 but whatever sells. Fatlus....
I'll be honest Atlus has been on the woke path for a while now. They changed up social links in p3r and whole scenes for modern audiences. Even the original P5 had woke elements. Sae Nijima's whole story is about how she is never taken seriously in her profession cuz she is a woman. P4 had Naoto and Ryujii which is why many people myself included prefer the older Persona games along with mainline. Even the Catherine remake had a troon.
bro forgot one of the endings to the og catherine had it in there too
Most people went for Katherine or Catherine. We could also make an argument that the diner person I believe was trans too. The main difference is that unlike the forced 3rd romance option the remake gave the diner person never made it their personality and was a side character. My point still stands that Atlus has been pushing social justice stuff to varying degrees ever since neo-persona became a thing. Metaphor is just the most extreme example out of all of them.
There is no way they can let it stand. The dub/translation is gonna fuck it hard. It's probably gonna find a way to ease into it like "I am content with the persona (AH GET IT ACK ACK ACK) I've made and am comfortable with my body. To present as a man is enough." and it's gonna be so preachy and obviously hacked together to defy the original messaging.
We really getting the French Persona 3 nigga as the MC.
Yea the MC looks, bad/gay. Female party members look ok.
It's because it's only been recently partially translated, and like most PC-98 games, the 2D sprites are great.
What an inaccurate and whitewashed portrayal of the modern day 'french'... japs really need to get with the times.
