My neighbours hate me for that intro 😭
Well at least they considered it. Might mean good things for persona 6.
I mean why don't make her fully playable after the whole game even if you do or don't romance her with Joker. Just a thought.
Based.
Being inclusive towards females is never worth it.
Men rule the world. Off you go back to the kitchen.
Aww man…I would’ve like they given an option to pick like in Persona 3
I just wonder how heavily the story had to be changed with shido and everything. Can't imagine a 15-16 year old girl getting sued and put on probation for a year for pushing a grown ass man
GENUINELY HATE THAT SHE WASN'T A FEMC
Atlus made a terrible mistake for not romancing P5 boys, especially Yusuke
Creator: adding a female lead is not worth it
P3P players: 😢
Bro it's not worth it, but they are coming out a persona 5 x with a female protagonist as their lead bruh
Sumire could have been the perfect Female protagonist similar to p3 portable gave u the option of either a male or female character
Phantom X be like: 😐🤨
She should've been she's an annoying choice as a romance option. Why developers scrap before they try?
Ngl only reason I see a female counterpart is for all the fangirls who wanna date the male characters and I honestly cannot blame them.
He is rigth is not worth it
FEMC in P6 when
Considering how well the female protagonist as the P3P selling point was received this doesn't make much sense
We could’ve dated Akechi D:
What’s with the red-haired FEMCs? Japanese beauty standard?
What if you wanted to date Yusuke,
But Atlas said: "It's not worth it."?
Royal said "hell nah no lesbians losers"
Will be eternally bitter.
When you think about it if they do include a female protag they'll have to make it like P3P because reanimating scenes only to add a female joker costs money
FeMC would’ve been better imo
Persona tree portable
That's not really conclusive evidence considering that Joker's dagger could just be a place holder weapon during a time when they haven't finished working on Yoshizawa's weapons. Not only that, but Yoshizawa's metaverse outfit design is intentionally supposed to look similar/like Joker's so it wouldn't be strange for the early sketches to have Yoshizawa wear a version of Joker's outfit.
I don't have any doubts that the developers haven't thought about having a FeMC in P5, but it's too costly and changes the direction of the story too much considering gender roles will heavily affect how some characters treat the protagonist. They might as well be making a different game at that point considering the amount of changes needed.
Fair.
If Atlus did release Kasumi as Ren’s Female Counterpart, I would’ve romanced either Ryuji, Yusuke, Mishima or Oda.
