Yeah Futaba romance is something I haven't even considered due to the creepiness of it. I'm otherwise undecided. Might go with Becky for maximum

The Gorp posted:Yup, turns out it's just one. Do what you like. All the romances with adults are creepy (despite the same links themselves being great) and I'm not sure why P5 has so many. I just brought up Becky as one of the more bizarre options. The journalist seems like it'd be the creepiest overall. If it wasn't for the psychological aspect Futaba wouldn't be so bad. She's a great character but it feels wrong to date her to me. I just managed to max out charm after the school trip so I might see how Makoto goes.

The Gorp posted:Makoto is a great character but I think her social link is super weak. And Ann is sort of the opposite. She's bland but likeable as a character but her S.Link really captures the vibe of a teen still figuring life out. Also wow the end of the ----Death link is so heartwarming.

Waterfall Watcher posted:I'm hoping she's a new party member instead of a new confidant or Alt MC. The other theory I've heard is this is might be a "The Answer" type sequel plot for P5's main story.

His alt costumes have been revealed and there's no female MC variant. https://nintendoeverything.com/super-smash-bros-ultimate-joker-screenshots-a-look-at-alternate-costumes/

I think they've hyped Kasumi up a bit too much for that. She's probably going to be the focus of the new event span, for better or worse. I hope the extra time helps Haru a lot too though. Haru is great but so terribly underdeveloped.

Geostomp posted:I’m guessing Kasumi will be a recurring character for the entire game, but only join for the new portion. From what I can make of the trailer, she will probably have something to do with the antagonist or that time. She does have a part that indicates that she probably will become an antagonist herself at least for a time. Most likely a misguided or brainwashed one, but an antagonist nonetheless. Would be nice if you started her social link before she actually joined.

TwoPair posted:My memory's a little fuzzy but I seem to recall that the non-romance option on Makoto's S-link being a pretty brutal shutdown The one with Futuba is strangely harsh as well. I mean I agree that she shouldn't be a romance option at all, but there's no option to let her down gently or you know make it clear she's basically your adopted "sister."

Lord_Magmar posted:Yeah, Makoto and Haru are the two who seem most actually into Joker when you get the romance choice and therefore the ones who just have to deal with being rejected if you do so. None of the adults initiate anything, even if they might suggest an attraction it’s subtle, outside maybe Ohya (who can be a terrible influence and person). Ann and Futaba are both vague and neither take it all that hard. Hifumi might be pretty let down but I don’t actually recall or know. It also helps that Makoto's S-Link really shows the two make an excellent team. I sadly haven't done Haru's. On a replay I suppose.

Yeah it's kind of a big deal that Sojiro even gave Joker a chance in the first place when his own parents didn't care. Also, the worse part about dating Futaba is the girl's working through her social issues. It just all comes across as creepy and somewhat manipulative. Some of the adult romances are just as bad, though.

Gruckles posted:I think Vaan and Penelo were actually always a part of the game, it was just the decision to make him the starting/PoV character came fairly late. Which was probably a better idea than having these rando kids get forced into your party later on. Fair late in the pre-planning stage. The change happened before any real development started.

I believe it's been confirmed you can't import a save because they've changed too much throughout.

Supersonic Shine posted:A trailer came out for Persona 5 Scramble, and it's a lot more expansive than I was expecting. I kinda love the weird design of that OG party member with the heart hair. Making the generic enemies cop shadows is kinda inspired.

Sony has adopted stricter content policies for games appearing on their systems that primarily appear to matter to Japanese games even in Japan. The current theory is that it's due to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics where a LOT of Japanese companies have been toning down their more explicit media (they've even banned selling porn in convenience stores which had been allowed since the start of the industry there,) but the chud line is that because Sony HQ is in California it has to be the evil SJWs at work. EDIT: Sony is, of course, a HUGE Olympic sponsor and, while Nintendo has their hand in it too, I doubt Nintendo will be represented by anything except Pokemon, Mario and Zelda (and maybe Splatoon as it's HUGE there.)

I'm still a bit saddened they didn't make Futaba playable. They could've gone all out weird with her moveset given her psrsona.

Yeah I've seen so much bullshit from the usual crowd claiming that Hoshino's homophobia is completely normal and the way things are in Japan. Apparently the Japanese version of Royale also toned those characters down according to the replies to that thread which kinda wrecks the entire false narrative the bigots are trying to push.
