Hello y’all! I happen to have a friend who worked on Persona 5!
Specifically, (in addition to some other stuff) they were in charge of localizing all the parts where you read internet posts and comments! Since a lot of the Japanese stuff was 2ch.net-type references and memes and mannerisms that wouldn’t make much sense, they had their work cut out for them coming up with lines that would be appropriate for an English-speaking audience more familiar with the English-speaking side of the internet. They were curious what y’all thought of that part of the game!

Considering a good deal of competition...it’s not THAT surprising. 2018 wasn’t the best year for gaming, I’m just gonna come out and say that now.

Also Woo, Joker is gonna Smash the competition! Wait...ISABELLE NO! :stonk:

I wonder what that'd look like. Twice more gameplay? More confidants? Explicit looooove!? :getin:

I'm rather curious as to what stage they'll create to represent Joker. Will it be an amalgamation of the various Palaces (with the bosses as various stage hazards), or will it be Mementos with the various Mementos requests being cameos?

Also, Jack Frost better be an assist trophy. No excuses. :colbert:

True, but Sony is still going to be displeased about it. Persona is one of their big cash cows these days and there's no way they're happy about Nintendo getting a suck at the udder. Sega did not sell that one cheap.

I mean there is no exclusivity contract between Sony and Atlus or anything. They can do whatever they want with Persona (including putting it on Switch oh God please :pray:).

I don't think anyone saw it coming, I didn't believe it at first when I saw it on this thread. Then I got lost in the reactions I was seeing on YouTube.

The localization of the 2ch style memes into 4chan style ones worked pretty well, even if my experience there has dried up over the past half decade. Seemed rather natural for the game too.

As for the gimmicks in this thread, I skipped over then where I could and still catch gameplay, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to keep interest in the game. While I don't have the same complaints against this game that others seem to have, you have been playing this game for us for a year and a half, so if you need to switch it up a bit to get through it, I don't begrudge you for it.

I, Giorno Giovanna, have a dream!

I'd rather something else as a stage, but in Mementos you could have bus Mona and the Reaper show up as stage hazards.

If they want a stage that encapsulates persona as a whole, there's always the velvet room.
