Persona 5 (PS4, PS3)

[Rain]

Pinned. Five stared. Repped

Will probably the only game I play for months. It was fun while it lasted Mass Effect. P4G left me feeling empty

Some EGM reviewer

There’s something else I need to bring up on the topic of characters, and it’s a subject I often try to avoid. There are two homosexual NPCs that appear throughout the game, and I was taken aback by their portrayal. Now, I want to be clear: I don’t think gay characters always have to be “good” characters, and giving such NPCs negative qualities isn’t instantly a cause for protest. However, the pair were overbearingly stereotypical in design and portrayal, and more importantly, their conversations repeatedly centered around their attraction to the game’s teenage boys. Japan has some complex cultural opinions on LGBT issues, but how a company like Atlus—a studio known for putting care into more “fringe” types of characters—could so blatantly portray gay men as child predators bothered me. It’s especially disappointing because Persona 5 features one other prominent LGBT character, and I found them not only to be a fun foil for another NPC, but also pretty spot-on for people I’ve actually met in Japan. Atlus is the Japanese company I look to the most with hope for some well-written and developed LGBT characters, and yet, this is now three games in a row where we’ve gotten examples of queerbaiting and/or gay panic from the studio.

They still gave it a 9/10 though.

I've been noticing complaints from LBGT folks lately in games like Mass Effect and I think Zelda.

Persona 5,coming 2015 for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4!

I´ve always been intrigued by the Persona series but have never played a game in the series.
Might be copping this on sight..

Props to OP for first posting something about this Feb 25, 2014 and then updating it Nov 16, 2016 to give us the correct release date. That´s that work.

alright I've seen enough from reviews, this is gonna surpass P4G as the best game I've played (not necessarily my favorite)

 

[Cladyclad]

Edit: my cuz want to know if this is coming to Xbox

 

[Fatboi1]

This is what makes the game feel heavy. Persona 3 was abstract dark, like anime apocalypse type dark but P5 feels more grounded because the events aren't too far off from reality in some way.

Persona 6 gonna come out like fukking 2025
