5 is literally how he beats Conway. The polyhop CEO just gives him the audio he needs to beat him *for no reason*

I'm fine with the idea of Frank having a Batman gambit where he fucks himself over.

Kamoshida is taken seriously. his actions are viewed as evil.

Its difficult to learn about less clumsy representation when 98.5% of the country is of one ethnicity.

NieR is also made by an absolute mad man who never gave a damn about expanding beyond his niche (yet managed too anyway)

There's a simpler solution here.

That's basically Atlus' official explanation, with the added note that P3P was unique in how easily a female protagonist could be added.

Yeah but she says this first (Minor spoilers, Kawakami dating scenes):

There's some other wonky romance options that pop up if you make all the men romance-able for a Female MC. You could just, you know, not make them a romance, but EVERY girl except Sae is an option for the MC and I suspect a Sae romance is a lock for any remake or remaster of this game.

P3P did it because all the 3d cut scenes and hand animated cut scenes were removed, thus, no extra time or money was needed to implement beyond the hefty amount of re-writing.

Japan's relationship with LGBT communities is…complicated.

Well, that goes both ways,I'm playing P5 with Japanese audio and its staggering how many loanwords there are from English being used in different capacity (to the point where different words were chosen for the translation even though the original dialogue was "in English"

Yaoi is also made primarily for women.

There is unfortunately some cultural dissonance here.

Japan's* portrayal of gay men

Japan is oddly selective in its social conservatism.

She lived in Scandinavia, but her Confidant profile says she is 1/4 American.

Japan is a country that is 98.5% ethnic Japanese.

Eh, a little bit sure, but MOST deaths I've had would have been prevented If I played it different (I don't need to buff my defense, its almost dead. *miss* Well that's my fault for getting cocky.)

I don't know what the dub is like, but his Japanese voice actor is fine, and isn't constantly screaming.
