We don't know yet. Doubtful though... Heh would be kinda funny if that was like a bulletpoint they mention during the info dump today.
- PS4 Pro support
- New party member
- A new semester
- NO MORE HOMOPHOBIC CONTENT!!!
There's some "features" in Persona 5 that actually bogged down the game. I hope they really reassess the game flow.
Two big offenders:
- The bonus to S. Links based on your current personas.
- The Fortuneteller S. Link and its bonus to other S. Links.
Shuffling persona for S. Links added like 2 hours to the game, alone. Likewise, having to go to the Fortuneteller to boost S. Links also inflated the game length. It should be moved to something more... passive, like the S. Link boost being based off of Compendium Completion % for that Arcana, and the Fortuneteller should give like a 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% boost to points based on your rank.
Persona 4 Golden was actually foreward thinking enough to switch to actual inheritance skill choice. Hopefully The Royal is as willing to rethink aspects of the S. Links as Golden did for Demon mechanics.

That's what they did with FES, basically. Except that it was still on disc. They had a full release and "expansion" release that required a save file, or something.
The Western version didn't have the "expansion" version.
Yeah, that's totally what Atlus is going to focus on in an announcement.

"4, almost 5 years" is strangely looking like slightly more than 3 years. Time is weird. P-Studio has been working on multiple projects as well. This was likely the biggest, but there will likely be a good bit of content added to the game.
My bad..I thought P5 released 2015 in JP.
Still, pretty disappointing P6 is many years away at this point.
They should, if they had any moral backbone. Of course they would phrase it in some bullshit sidestepping way like, "We have altered some content to be more palatable for western tastes." But the fact that they've said nothing probably means the team has kept all the homophobic content in there, if not doubled down on it.
Ok, well... I'm not sure what world you're living in, but that's not how you market a product.
"more palatable for western tastes" ? Excuse me but what ? Since when does a japanese company have to submit to western values ?
They've shown a three minute trailer...? I think you're expecting a bit much on them saying that right away in their first official unveiling. If we find out about this kind of thing before launch, it'll be in an interview, not a trailer.
Since when is homophobia a Japanese value? Because the LGBT community there in Japan has already protested against the content in P5.
Plenty to dig through with the trailer, and plenty to talk about characters new and old, but one thing I'm really happy to see are much more expressive character portraits.
Persona 3 started off with pretty dynamic portraits, but then 4, Arena, and 5 all had the character poses be completely static, with only the facial expressions changing. Not the worst thing, since you can still have the character's posture on the screen communicate a lot (especially by Persona 5), but I definitely felt something was lost.
However, along with some different faces in the , and here we have a whole new side to Ryuji in P5R!
Again, a very small thing, but a really nice detail I'm glad to see, and am really looking forward to all the other touches like that along with the fancy new stuff.

This is one of my favorite things from the trailer! Ryuji looks so good here. Looking forward to seeing new portraits for everyone!
That does look good, I think I didn't mind it too much in P5 because they used a lot of expressive cut-ins, but I'm certainly not against this kind of added dynamismPlenty to dig through with the trailer, and plenty to talk about characters new and old, but one thing I'm really happy to see are much more expressive character portraits.

User Banned (1 month): Excusing homophobia. Account in junior phase.
So let me get this straight, because there's one instance in the game where two men are flirting with Ryuji in Shinjuku, at night, would means that homophobia is a japanese value ? It's supposed to be a joke, and if you didn't find it funny fine but you can't say that they have a moral obligation to change it because you didn't find it funny.

This is something I didn't even notice was missing until you pointed it out. I loved the dynamic portraits in P3.
Can't wait to see the rest of the new portraitsPlenty to dig through with the trailer, and plenty to talk about characters new and old, but one thing I'm really happy to see are much more expressive character portraits.

oh another semester.
I think i will bite.
Not a fan of the new character design. personally she looks a bit bland to me, compared to let's say Hifumi (who should be part of phantom thieve initially). But I really enjoy the base game and the additional content warrant me another time investment.

Well they have that fantasy game they're working on, which I'm more interested in seeing first over a P6 right now.
I'm gonna guess you're either working overtime, typically work at night, or live in a different time zone because, otherwise, damn, you're working rather late
I think so. It's at least a tease, if nothing else
I haven't read or seen a lot of heist stuff but I have seen Oceans Eleven and a gymnast makes sense
A ton of people from Asia, Japan, Australia, and New Zeland visit this site you know? Right now over there it's around noon. I know it's easy to forget only people from the Americas visit this place since it's so US centric but c'mon, we've got people from all around the globe!
I live in Japan, lol.
Is Morgana male or female? I might be dumb and forgetting something but IIRC they were left ambiguous in the OG release
It is more than one instance -- did you actually play the game? because the beach scene is just as bad -- and they portray the gay men as sexual predators of boys. It's not a joke, it's straight out of a 1950s-era demonization of gay men. That kind of destructive, hateful stereotyping has no place in any society.
Morgana wasn't sure but he said a male. Turns out he actually is a guy.
Lol True, true, hencewhy I added in if he lives in another timezone. I just wasn't sure as most folk who post here tend to be from the Americas and that's the assumption I tend to work off of
I always thought he was a dude and the tease of human Morgana looks Male so I'm betting on him being Male
Never played any games in this franchise, but interested in trying it out. So far, my understanding is this game is the improved/upgraded or complete..er version of Persona 5 (and I should probably just skip vanilla Persona 5).
Is this a recurring pattern with Persona games i.e. to release the "bare bones" version then improved/fine tuned version later on?

Oh yeah I forgot they appeared again at the beach. The way I see the whole thing is that they portray THOSE TWO as sexual predators all to make their joke work. I see it like that because of the existance of Lala Escargot. Lala is a positive representative of the LGBTQ+ community because Lala is treated normally.
That it is a joke or meant as a joke doesn't mean that it's not homophobic, you know.
The cat having the obvious hots for Anne is a very obvious tell of the character being a male :P
I thought about that, but then I thought it might also be Morgana trying to mimic human behavior or some other weird explanation like that
I guess he is a guy though. I didn't put two and two together that that screenshot of the black haired guy is probably him. Better design than human Teddie at the very least.
It's become a bit of a pattern yes.
Persona 3 had Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable.
Persona 4 had Persona 4 Golden.
I seriously hope they redo as much of the localization as possible, preferably with help from the Yakuza guys. They have a golden opportunity here.
Wait, sorry, is this confirmed? This is not a P3FES situation where you can use your P3 save for bonuses and such?
Personally I think either way is fine but I adopted your suggestion with some recolors:Fixed it even further.
That boob window is ridiculous.
It is, except that the barebones version is usually packed with a fuckton of content and is almost insane because of how much playtime you get from it(110 hours average in p5's case)
I don't think so because even though a game is not translated, everything related to it is still translated (like the box).
Personally I think either way is fine but I adopted your suggestion with some recolors:
Top one looks banging
Why are people so annoyed by a character showing a bit of skin? Its not new and it's not a problem. People seem to overreact so much on this site.
Get a grip please. The problem with this scene is not that it's not funny, it's that it uses harmful stereotypes towards homosexuals.
OP
OP
You're the only one getting heated in this thread conjuring some non-existent boogeyman to get mad at.
Take a break from the computer for a bit, champ.
Showing skin apparently inherently means that it's sexualized.
I clocked 95 hours and I took my time, I can't imagine someone pulling another 15-20 hours beyond that.
