PSA: Please wait and play P5 or P5R first

[Christou doulos]

Why do I even need to say this, just wait for a Steam port you fools. You will not appreciate how cool this game is without any prior P5 experience.

[MgNightmare]

True

[Scouali]

The game is fun in it's own right but I agree, the amount of fan service here is off the chart

I love how you think insulting people is going to convince them differently.

In any case, yes this is a direct sequel to Persona 5. Unfortunately, the issue is they may have to wait a long time for the PC port, the leading theory being exclusivity to Sony.

Heck, watch the Persona 5 anime if you need some context.

Wait, there is a lot of fanservice in this game or in P5R? If it's here I may consider buying it

I mean... You didn't have to say this. No one forced it upon you to write this. you CHOSE to do it of your free will.

It's not like Joker was holding his pistol against you're head or something.

Just saying...

I played Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal on the PS4....So I will play this game on the PC, even bought it for the Switch (not the PS4).

They mean like jokes and nods fans would get, not sexy time persay.

Hmm. I disagree.

Most objective observers have noted (properly) that

- P5 Vanilla is horrible from a UX perspective ("go to bed"ness, as I call it)

- P5 Royal fixed a lot of what was wrong but then catered to SJW's and went political

- P5 Strikers apparently did not get the axe and maintains the true spirit of what the developers envisioned (which is a reason I chose to pull the trigger).

So...while it may "help" in terms of knowing the characters...I would tell those people, just watch a "Let's Play" of P5, then play Strikers. Don't support censorship.

Apparently you didn't research the ResetEra post that triggered them (pun intended) to make the change(s) in the first place.

"At The End Of The Day", they catered to SJW's.

Someone who likes games left unedited and in the original integrity as per the Japanese dialog? Absolutely.

And no, "play in Japanese" is not the right answer - even if it were, the Western version was edited completely and I'm not buying a Japanese version without English.

The RIGHT answer is for them to NOT edit games simply because a minority group of people got triggered over flamboyant homosexuality.

As someone else properly said, just because there are flamboyant homosexuals doesn't make them all such; and just because there are bad eggs doesn't make them all bad, so editing just caters to the wrong people.
