Yakuza 8/Pirate Yakuza shows that you shouldn't move settings to America

Let me guess, they're just saying this because they think a non-jap setting would lead to more SJW bullshit happening in the game and not because an international persona was literally the original plan for P5?

It's the version of Persona 3 that is the most easily and readily available.
I honestly don't even know why people would shit on it, FeMC adds way more than The Answer ever did.
The Answer was basically a bonus mode for retards where you experienced 30 hours of mind-numbing gameplay for roughly 15 minutes of shit anyone with half a brain already would've figured out about the game's themes.

switzerland persona would be dope

>>712767626
Really, a female protagonist is available in Persona 3 Reload?
No? Then it's not the same, P3R is a remake of P3FES, not P3P.

>>712768167
Anon, how many platforms is Reload on.

>>712768167
>P3R is a remake of P3FES
no? The devs explicitly said it was a remake of vanilla P3. They added the answer after for a quick buck but it was never supposed to be a FES remake

The best you'll get is Adachi having a social link, but even that is not certain.
And that trailer was thrown together in a weekend because Yuri Lowenthal broke the news that the remake was happening. That's why the "trailer" was 15 seconds and looked like shit, I don't even remember what song it was but it was definitely some temp shit.

>>712769193
I look forward to starting the game and immediately meeting Marie and laughing at you, if she's not revealed in a trailer first

>>712769318
>I look forward to Marie

Nah, it's still probably gonna be in Japan, the same reason they put Digimon Story: Time Stranger in Tokyo.
It sold well the first time and they now see it as part of the formula for success.

>>712769359
>I can't read
I think you've got bigger problems than a remake having the later revision's content

>>712769441
They were literally going to make Persona 5 not in Japan until the earthquake happened and fucked up Fukuoka forever or whatever and they changed their plan out of Nipponese pride, that's why it took so long for P5 to come out

>>712769612
chat is this true?

>>712769463
I don't have any problem. Marie won't be in it, and you're such a spineless little bitch that you'd actually enjoy seeing something stupid and shitty to spite an anonymous poster on a Taiwanese megablocks forum.
You've given me two wins, which I will not remember in a few of hours, because none of this matters.

>>712769612
And then Persona 5 did better than all the other Personas despite being set in Japan.

>>712769775
Persona 4 did better than all the ones before it, and they were then not going to set 5 in Japan until a natural disaster occurred.
What point do you think you're making?

>>712766592 (OP)
Why are journos such dumbasses?

>>712769741
it's always funny to see someone be so confidently wrong with their whole ass chest. Yeah man P4R won't have any golden content, just like how P3R didn't have any FES content OH WAIT

>>712769931
That the games keep doing better and better despite being set in Japan.

>>712769954
They just want to force in niggers and trannies. The west's two Gods.

>>712769931
...but they did.
So you just supported his point.

>>712769991
Didn't they repackage it as paid DLC?

>>712769991
The fact that the teaser opens with Time to make History should tell anybody what kind of content is going to be included in the remake.

>>712770124
How did the earthquake causing them to change their P5 plans support his argument that they wouldn't set a game outside of Japan based on the success of the previous game?
They would done exactly that, if not for the earthquake, regardless of the success of the previous game.
Your argument is complete stupid.

>>712769954
>>712770068
You're looking at a clickbait site whose articles are primarily written by AI retards.

>>712770214
yeah of course but some people just want to argue with internet strangers despite their position being extremely stupid because it gets them the attention they oh so desperately need.

>>712770258

>Lovers Arcana is about you helping your female friend deal with her teen pregnancy

I don't understand why burgerniggers want foreign talent to pander to burger "culture" instead of encouraging burger talent to make their own burger games. Persona games don't have copyrighted gameplay so if burgers want that type of game, they should just make it themselves.

>>712767826
>digital devil saga

>>712767914
this, the foreign market "grew" because your goods had a quality foreign goods lacked, turning them into bad copies of foreign goods is just a recipe for market suicide.

>>712770263
Your point being? You think I clicked on their faggot filled site to check? No, I don't need to because these tards are so predictable you'd be able to fool any normalfag into believing you were psychic by telling them what was written in the articles without even opening the page.

>>712770330
>current formula
Except it's not a formula, P5 was set in Japan based on external factors, given no natural disaster, they would have abandoned the "formula" you're talking about that doesn't actually exist.
You are aware P5 Arena would've been more successful as a spin-off than the Dynasty Warriors thing they did, right? But there wasn't a mass-murder of Japanese FGC people during development, so they didn't alter course in that instance.

>>712769182
Just because mister shekelberg has his multi million dollar yatch doesn't mean average American isn't living in third world conditions

Why would weebs want the Japanese teen life simulator series to not be about Japan?

Why not just play GTA if you really want to play an America simulator?

>>712770214
>The fact that the teaser opens with Time to make History
Doesn't really mean much considering reload had a new soundtrack. Plus they know they can sell it as dlc and scam people.

>>712770647
Earthbound was good cause it was a surreal game with burger culture as mostly a background. Persona "fans" want a game centered around burger culture that makes commentary around burger culture (Persona games usually have social commentary).

>>712766592 (OP)
American schools are already dangerous dungeons

>>712766592 (OP)

imagine the absurd amount of DEI

that said TFW NO PERSONA LIKE MAGE SCHOOL SIM

Ann being blacked at last

The average "cosmopolitan" lefty genuinely can't stand to see anyone's culture be represented or shown to be of interest other than his own.
This is why they seethe about depictions of the american south, japan, etc.
They really can't stand anything that aren't just tiny microcosms of los angeles/san francisco/seattle in sheep's clothing.
For all the talk of how worldly they are they are super-provincial and chauvinist at heart. If they travel it's only to go to copy-clone capital cities or university towns to hang out with people just like them or to make hostile hot-takes against the native culture.

>>712770691
I haven't needed to.
They would have set a Persona game outside of Japan, and would attempt to do so again.
You have no argument against this, your vague assumption that they continue to set the games in Japan because it's a "successful formula" is disproven by the fact that P4 was successful and they were going to take P5 in a completely different direction, then an earthquake happened, not a sudden realization that the change of direction was too risky financially.

>>712766592 (OP)
>set in america
>all white and jap cast
>mc is adult with teenage romance options
holy shitlib meltdown kino

>>712770214
the fact that that trailer had no sound effects or even text on screen says they dragged and dropped an mp3 from the nearest computer than a persona 4 album on it

The devs know they can't set this outside of Japan even if they wanted to due to modern political concerns.

>>712770557
>You are aware P5 Arena would've been more successful IN THE WEST as a spin-off than the Dynasty Warriors thing they did
Why did you leave out those three words? They did a musou precisely because it's popular in Japan. A fighting game would've died like a bitch and had no players but they'd need to keep the servers up anyways. Musou meant it'd be single player, they could make things feel more dynamic like you were actually playing a phantom thief vs some static side scrolling fightan.
The west would love it but it'd be dead in a week. They made more money working with OmegaForce to build a musou.

>>712771081
>in the west
So it would've quadrupled its sales numbers? Wow, crazy, surely the team at Atlus should be informed of this since all they want to do is stick to a winning formula.
And the Dynasty Warriors game was not as successful as Arena was 10 years earlier with a smaller playerbase.

>>712770647
They do that with modern games, it's called the No More Heroes series. They sell terribly.

>>712770804
the only game (out of the new ones I haven't played P1 or 2 yet) that's really a commentary on the society it takes place in is 5 (and it does a very bad job at actually analyzing and dealing with the problems it tackles). 4 touches on some aspects of how women are treated in male dominated fields with Naoto, and how traditional masculinity demands one not have what is percieved to be feminine interests, labeling anything not traditionally masculine as gay with Kanji, a concept not exclusive to japan. and it only does that to serve the actual focus of the game, being finding truth with one's self. 3 is basically entirely about Memento Mori

>>712771081
Musou games are nowhere near as popular in Japan as fighting games, retard.

>>712770993
>They would have set a Persona game outside of Japan, and would attempt to do so again
And then it'd flop horribly that they'd never try it again because the fact is no one in Japan actually wants to play Person burger edition. This goes doubly so now with burger nuisance streamers being fuckwits in their country. If Atlus wanted to kill the series they'd make it's setting foreign, they won't. Even more so when you KNOW they'd be pressured to bring up "muh Trump" and if he isn't shown as literally Hitler but worse the burgerfags and journos won't support it.
Why even waste your time doing something useless that wastes millions when you could keep things in a state where they're successful?

>>712768561

Wouldn't be the first time a Japanese company did something like this.

>>712771509
Okay.
I don't even disagree with your paragraph, but it's still not an argument.
They were going to set P5 outside of Japan, but then didn't out of a sense of obligation, and not to the "formula" of the series (which already abandoned it's "formula" before) but instead out of national pride after a disaster happened and morale was low.
They might try it again, and it would most likely still successful anyway because it will be called Persona 6.
If Metaphor had been called "Persona M: Rephantazio" or whatever it also would've been more successful.

>>712771556
