Do we know anything about the conditions for duets popping up during sessions?
Just got them a bit ago but it seems like they pop up all the time during random battles and let you completely cheese them, but only pop up toward the end of boss battles when you've almost won to at least maintain a modicum of challenge.
Or is that just my imagination and when they pop up is just purely random?

Persona 5 Scramble topped the Japanese sales charts, though that difference in sales between Switch and PS4 probably indicates they're not going to make any major platform changes.

I read somewhere that if you preorder P5 Royal you get all the P5 DLC for free. Is it true?

Actually, all the original DLC is gonna be free for everyone, not just preorders, apparently.

On one hand, the fact that Joker is still unvoiced is annoying.

I love how the development team of #FE apparently put so much time and resources into making flashy anime music videos that they had to fill out the game's length with a whole chapter (5) that consists entirely of revisiting earlier dungeons, culminating in a boss fight with a palette swap of one of your party members. Not implying that they didn't have their priorities straight when making the game though.

Royal released a week early in Spain due to the lockdown. You get 50,000 yen for having a P5 save, but I don't know about DLC (I hadn't downloaded any and they haven't updated the store page...).

Re: homophobic caricatures. They're still there, but instead of being as overtly horny for Ryuji, they try to bully him into dressing in drag and imply they'll do things to him if he doesn't. Hardly an improvement.

Unless I'm misremembering, they seem much better in Royal (admittedly, the bar is on the floor in the original) and don't bully or threaten him into it, just say he has potential?

Also speaking of Persona 5, a thread just got made for the rerelease! :)

i mean also its a hasty translation change not an actual change in the jp script, so regardless of how good the change is (not very) it still doesnt show any actual change in thought on the parts of the actual developers

compare it to like, the yakuza games removing a couple transphobic sidequests in all regions

oh, it wasn't also changed in the jp script for royal?? was under the impression that it was, that's disappointing. :( i'm unfamiliar with the yakuza games, the devs removed those sidequests for the recent rereleases of their games because they realized they sucked, right?

hopefully atlus follows in their footsteps and gets a new, non bigoted director + dev team for persona 6!

yeah, they did, the Yakuza producer said so

However Yakuza is a work that was launched in 2009. Some things that were considered OK at the time are not as good as the current moral values. You know, Japan’s social atmosphere has also changed a lot in recent years, so there have been slight changes.

The director and many core team members of P5 all moved to a new division of Atlus separate from the Persona team.
So assuming all this stuff is true, around 2030 we can look forward to Persona 6 not having that type of stuff and also look forward to the offensive gay stereotype character in Project Re: Fantasy.

I'm wary of that being a good idea after Caligula Effect, which was full of fat jokes and a trans character that was poorly executed (not exactly maliciously, but really badly thought out).

Just give it to either the TMS team or the Dx2 team. They both have shown they can write likeable characters and the mobile game has at least one canon gay character (as well as a few implied) whose homosexuality isn't treated as a joke.

As long as they keep emphasizing the social sim aspects and tie it to high school. This isn't going away anytime soon.

There are a lot of gags you can do in a hot spring besides "Boys and girls wind up in the same hot springs, girls freak out and beat boys up." This joke has been repeated in 3, 4, and apparently in 5S going by the trailers.

Heck, you could just have the guys be the ones to flip out and accuse the girls of being perverts for a change. That'd at least be something different.
