yeah since they're dead set on the high school stuff it seems i'd at least like them to play around with maybe a teacher as the main character? idk it'd be nice to see a different take on it

how would be making the player character a teacher work at all. that would just be weird. people love the series for being what it is.

it wouldn't significantly change things i don't think. you could still have s links with your students you just wouldnt be dating them. you can keep the school focus. idk it was just a half assed idea i came up with, not going to pretend it was a great idea or anything

and yeah i realize that persona is the moneymaker for atlus so they're not going to shake things up or ever place the focus back on the mainline smt games :(

they just made smt 4? they are still going to continue making smt games. it would jsut be really weird and pauseworthy to be playing a teacher with s-links with the students and if it were with like your coworkers or other adults it would just be lame.

Given that there was like a 15 year old stripper in persona 4 I'm not sure I want to know what they would do with teacher student relations

Silver Striker posted:

there is a lot of hypocrisy for sure but there are definite levels of anime creepy and persona 4 golden is on the lower end of the scale. it's just that most games people freak out about in the vita thread are also on the lower end.

theres really gross stuff out there that people openly admit to liking in other threads

persona 4 is a game that sexualizes the hell out of 15/16 year old girls, and golden in particular has them able to wear poo poo like this while you fight monsters


anyway what they need to do is make an HD port of DDS, the best smt game

i never really paid enough attention to the sexualization or used any of the costumes, i guess

i just consider persona 4 golden to be significantly less creepy than something like, mugen souls z (which i've seen goons openly endorse)

That's shadow Rise, a reflection of her subconscious in Jungian psychology. Jeez, have you even played the persona games? Here, I'll let Mr. Edogawa explain it to you.

Personas are there when you need them. But Shadows, though...they are the "other you" that you reject. A good way to think about them is the "you" that you don't want to be and don't think of yourself as. Shadows are just that: shadows. They are the side of you that you keep locked away in your mind as "evil." Sounds like a scary "other you," eh? It appears that you need to handle Shadows with care. Eeeheehee...Now, Personas and Shadows are both "other yous" that you usually aren't aware of. So then, why aren't you aware of them? It's because they lurk deep inside your mind...in your "unconscious." The unconscious is the source of Personas and Shadows, and the foundation of Jungian psychology.

it's not that much more sexual than any given thing about high school if you don't count the costumes, it's just that you're playing a video game and so it's creepier just because of the subjective perspective versus the objective perspective in something like buffy, and also because the drawn characters aren't obviously twentysomething actors and actresses

p4 isn't really sexual besides some stuff like kanji and rise's shadow worlds, which are relatively tame. it's pretty innocent stuff

I wish japan could get over whatever fascination they have with high school and at least bump it up to college. Then you could still have a bit of structure without school taking up most of your social link time :argh:

You know what I can sort of understand. After Yu how could you be able to top such a perfect male protagonist? I mean what if this nerd guy is somehow more awesome than him, that would lower Yu a good tier or two in the ranks. And Yu has a much more better character design.
