Hey everyone, Jason Schreier is giving away ten copies of his new book, Play Nice: The Rise, Fall and Future of Blizzard Entertainment in this thread, and will also be doing an AMA!
Persona 4 Golden PC modding is shaping up nicely (UI, music manager, outfits, Yosuke romance, etc)

This one is being worked on too, DAN models in battles:
Hopefully someone makes a PC version of the Yosuke stoner mod too, lol:
Regarding the romance mod for Yosuke, it's substantially easier to make one for him before any other character. In his case there are unused audio files in Japanese and in English, so the content for it was pretty far along before it was cut.

Yep. It's a shame that it wasn't included. Some of his sketchier actions might even be a holdover from that.
Wonder if it'll be possible to throw a filter on the entire image to match the models?
You'd only buy the game with gay MODS? Atlus is still homophobic, you know. This would be giving money to the wrong people. They literally cut a gay romance from the game in the first place.
Romance does help contextualize yosuke behavior, although playing the game today, there are some red flags even beyond what repressed queerness could reframe, tbh. Don't like the dude much these days all around.
I definitely remember a bit of homophobia from the first time I tried the game out on Vita. But since he was initially intended to be gay or bi (as clarified earlier in the thread,) I feel like a lot of that can be attributed to self loathing -- especially considering when the game was written. Context is key here. Also, not that it clears me of anything, but I'm actually bi myself, heavily leaning towards the gay side.
In terms of misogyny, I don't explicitly remember much of it that would be beyond the scope of a teenage boy at the time. That doesn't make it "good," but it is unfortunately realistic. (Note: this isn't playing the "realism card" in a fantasy game. I just mean it was a lot more prominent then, and it's reflected in works like this at the time.) I remember him playing the "male hero" card with Chie, not wanting her to help lest she be hurt. But that tendency by him also works in the game's narrative favor, as it establishes the cliché for Chie to then defy.
As for what's to like, well, there's more to his character than the above. From what I've seen, he struggles with his place in Inaba due to his father's job. He tries to put on a good, happy persona, but has deep insecurities -- a theme of the game from what I've seen. And, honestly, I enjoy his personality. I'm a fan of kinda awkward characters.
So yeah. It's totally possible the game takes a left turn with him (as last time I played on Vita, I barely got to the first "outted" character), but for now he's more than just those blemishes to me. *shrug*
(Wow, that was longer than I intended, lol.)
That's not the compression, you're just describing JP Teddie in general.
I just wouldn't be interested in the game enough to buy it again otherwise.
I rarely boycott game companies, though I do appreciate staying informed.
More power to you if you do, though.
I can't stand him as he is in the final game, but almost everything he does I agree with your read on it: Very much a sense of frustration and denial, in addition to try to prove to himself and others how "straight" he is.
I've talked to some friends about him and I do hear the "Well he's a horny high school boy, he's kind of an idiot, weren't you at that time?" And to that I say: No, I didn't sneak into girls' rooms on school trips, enter a bunch of girls in a beauty paegant they were all uncomfortable with, sit there and belittle a girl for her weight, and more.
I think he would have been 1000% better and redeemed for all the things he does if it turned out he was trying to hide homosexuality.
Did you just seriously say "I don't wanna date Yosuke he's toxic but I do want to date Adachi the king of toxicity"?
Yes
Crazy guys I find attractive
Yosuke is just annoying more than anything
