  1. 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.

  2. Based.

    Being inclusive towards females is never worth it.

    Men rule the world. Off you go back to the kitchen.

  3. Aww man…I would’ve like they given an option to pick like in Persona 3

  4. 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

  5. Bro it's not worth it, but they are coming out a persona 5 x with a female protagonist as their lead bruh

  6. Sumire could have been the perfect Female protagonist similar to p3 portable gave u the option of either a male or female character

  7. She should've been she's an annoying choice as a romance option. Why developers scrap before they try?

  8. 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.

  9. Considering how well the female protagonist as the P3P selling point was received this doesn't make much sense

  10. What if you wanted to date Yusuke,
    But Atlas said: "It's not worth it."?

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  13. If Atlus did release Kasumi as Ren’s Female Counterpart, I would’ve romanced either Ryuji, Yusuke, Mishima or Oda.
