But I think the point is more that this game/series has NO gay relationships and this one feels like it could/should be.

WTF are you on about? Every age group is more emotionally vulnerable at night. “You know, offering someone in a Western culture food around 5 or 6 pm is textbook child predator behavior.” GTFO
In fairness, the Persona series has exhibited homophobia for a while in way more blatant ways. If you clicked on almost any of the links posted in the article you would find evidence of the straight up homophobic scenes- such as the predatory gay couple in Personal 5- throughout the series (or at least the Hashino era…
I get everyone saying that male friendships don’t have to be gay, but that point lands a little flat for me when we’re talking about a game that lets you romance the female characters and a series that has room to grow when it comes to depictions of gay men. I can understand looking at the whole situation, then seeing…
The thing that gets left out with this take is that it exists within a larger context.
“Does every male and female who have a close bond need to be in a relationship?”
Persona cannot handle romantic relationships in general. Easily the weakest part of the series. It is all mechanical.
We need a term for Bethesda-style “do literally everything” adventure games other than “RPG” because people have started conflating “RPG” with a level of customization and player freedom rather than actually playing a role. I’d argue that Cyberpunk and The Witcher are actually way better RPGs than most of the Elder…
Guys, Final Fantasy is apparently not an RPG either.
This is not a tenable debate position. It lacks understanding of what the generally accepted definition of a video game RPG is, substituting instead the an impression of what that is. You are, in essence, arguing, “This is what I think an RPG should be.” While human language is a malleable, ever changing mess, the…
It’s not a debate bomb, it’s a stupid thing to say. You are arbitrarily declaring that an RPG is only game that attempts in some way to emulate a TTRPG like Dungeons and Dragons, and have decided to absolutely ignore a HUGE swath of RPGs, such as nearly every single JRPG that doesn’t let you choose a character,…
“you said you had protection!”
One of my favorite lines from DBZ Abridged:

Yeah DragonBall is still my favorite shonen, no regrets. It’s as goofy, convoluted and bloated with upgrades and power-ups as any other shonen, but it’s just so damn good, and has such great, endearing characters that have stood the test of time, decades at this point.
Filming in the actual quantum realm is expensive.
Hmmm. Good review, but what I really want to know is: is this in any way like Star Wars?
“After examining the way the genitals are depicted in the mod and comparing them to the ones seen in the next-gen version of The Witcher 3,”
I guess CDPR is down with OPP?
