• Persona 5 The Royal Teaser (feat. potential FeMC)

why are you so dismissive and condescending about this? what is it about people wanting a female persona protagonist that gets you so riled up? you're acting awfully smug considering we don't even know anything about P5R/S yet and a female reskin of joker for smash could easily be additional dlc or added in later
That's what I was thinking, granted I am someone who knows 0 about Persona. I just click around on threads and read them to pass the time and that's how I ended up here. As someone who knows nothing about Persona I don't see how having a female protagonist could even be a polarizing thing.
Y'all have clearly never been involved in the debate of Persona 3 FES vs Persona 3 Portable. People get stupidly uppity about their preferred version. I picked up 3 Portable because I had a Vita at the time. I've been berated for playing the 'lesser version', been told I should just pick up a used PS3 and a copy of 3 FES instead and even had several people call me casual trash. And that's not even getting into the mountains of shit the FeMC route gets in some circles.
Nah I'd be fine if there was a a female route was in the base game but for something like Persona 5 that would legit require almost a complete rewrite and essentially a whole new game. FeMC in P3P is horrible though. People say P3P is the lesser version because it objectively is. The game is literally screenshots of FES and only allows movement in Tartarus which is a huge drag because walking around the city is great. All cutscenes are now pictures of Des and barrel descriptive text boxes. P3P also is missing the epilogue called "The Answer" which is included in FES and has around 30 hours of extra gameplay (I don't care that some people don't like it that's only because it plays differently from the main game but has a great story to it). Now onto FeMC: FeMC in P3P is objectively trash and negative impacts the story all around to the point that huge parts of the story literally do not make sense because her inclusion was so poorly thought out. They also had to drastically change certain characters and make them worse. For example: Junpei in P3/P3FES is jealous of you becoming the leader because you're new to the school and he thought he was special because of his ability to summon a persona which gave meaning to his life. Not even a day after finding out he might be special he finds out the new kid already summoned one and can summon more then him. Now in P3P in the FeMC route how do they do this? Junpei doesn't like you being leader because you're woman. Also this is how lazy they are with FeMC. There's rumors around the school in P3 that you're dating Yukari because you showed up to school with her, how do they do this in P3P? Surely it's just not there right? Nah everyone now thinks you and Yukari are lesbians because you came to school together. That's only the beginning too in the FeMC route some characters even have the wrong gender then they're supposed to and again one scene later literally makes no sense at all within the established story because of her. Tl;dr I'm not against the inclusion of a FeMC but you're expecting too much and that FeMC in P3P is objectively trash and poorly implemented
Leave it to people like you to read complaints like mine and then proceed to completely prove me right. Is it so difficult to not be a condescending, elitist asshole and just let people play what they want?
What? I gave a detailed response on why it's objectively the lesser version. Play whatever you want I don't care but FES is the best and definitive version of the game. If you can't play FES (which emulates well and isn't hard to run) then play P3P
"Play whatever you want, I don't care, just don't play the version I shit all over in this post." Makes sense.
I actually like the FeMC for p3p better.
Hey man it's your call to play the worst version haha and if you think a review with objective parts to it is bad maybe you're just not being honest with yourself
But I mean who cares what people want to do? im a huge UC gundam fan but if people enjoy seed, a gundam I hate then I'm just happy there enjoying themselfs. enjoyment is subjective.
That's entirely different all together
I am grill In an rpg where Im supposed to insert myself, having the option to play a grill is nice. Yeah I was wrong about the smash thing but I'm not completely dismissing the possibility that this is a female protagonist for a different route or even a post game sequel type deal. I think youre letting your biases against p3p dictate what exactly you think this is. I think that a bunch of people have wrote off the possibility because people like you who hate the Femc for some arbitrary reason will look for any reason to deny atlus ever recognizing her or implementing another one. You made the fact she was 'non Canon' such a huge meme and shit on anyone who liked her. Yeah sure, p3p is the worse version, I won't argue that, but Femc isn't part of its flaws for me and plenty of people. As a long time Persona fan, this series is one of my favorites and having the option to choose my gender is nice. So I'm going to remain optimistic that this is a female protagonist and not immediately dismiss the possibility, especially because another Marie situation would just be lame.
"feMC isn't apart of it's flaws" "Arbitrary reasons" I listed out perfectly why she wasn't a good addition to P3 since she was poorly implemented and going off of P5 and P4G I doubt there will be a FeMC option in P5R
Your 'objective reasons Femc is bad' sure sound subjective bro
Negatively impacting the story and characters is subjective??? Akihiko getting Caesar makes literally no sense in the FeMC route
As much as I love rambling, nonsensical game version elitism and weird hatred of female characters, is there any indication of a possible Switch release? I hear nothing but great stuff about the original release, and the series in general, but I don't have a PlayStation and I won't get one for a single game so I can't exactly play it.
This month we're getting a full Royale reveal, as well as a reveal of whatever Persona 5S is. Which might be a Switch release. There was some sort of best buy leak that they were selling preorders for P5 Switch, so who knows
Cool. I had a classmate in Uni and it's his favorite series, always said I should try it.
I'm hoping with the full P5R reveal they also announce P5 Arena
P5S is the closest candidate and I'm not sure what else it could be. We already have a dancing game and we already have an anime so it can't be either of those. If it were announced by itself, maybe it could've been a re-release but we also have Royal being announced at the same time and that seems more like a candidate for the re-release. There's more coming on the 24th so if we are getting a Switch version, that's when it'll get announced.
I do actually hope we get a collection of P3FES and P4G on the Switch that would definitely be pretty awesome. A perfect world would have that collection contain P1P as well as P2ISP/P2EPP
