Will this version feature friendship routes?

[CloudKira]

Like with the female protagonist in P3Portable?

Or will the male protagonist remain the ultimate Persona series casanova who can't help but romance every girl at rank 10 no matter what? :P

It's already confirmed that you no longer have to romance female social links.

Nice, it was kinda funny being forced to be an unscrupulous harem seeker in order to obtain as many ultimate personas as possible but it made a game focused on making positive bonds look kinda silly in that regard.

At least we will be able to stay loyal to one girl instead of making a fool of them.

Speaking of which...does it include Elizabeth too? She is not a Social link but we could romance her too with no way to turn her down. Granted it was mainly implied sex/kissing and nothing "official" but she appears to love the protagonist so it would kinda look bad if we lead her on.

I haven't seen anything about if Elizabeth's requests still always end with implied intimacy, so I'm not sure.

Kinda curious what happens if you try. It was hilarious watching a video of Joker getting beaten up and then Sojiro giving you pity choco.

I mean that was only a thing in the original P3 and has never been put in any other title. So, it makes sense they got rid of that mechanic like the tired system.

I think in FES and P3Portable the male protagonist also was forced to romance them all. Not only in the original P3.

Thankfully the female protag got friendship options and since Persona 4 all protagonists got the option to either become friends or romance girls.

Only the male protag of P3 stayed a casanova.

Makes me remember how we had a jealousy mechanic in the original P3 with girls being pissed off when getting high enough with their social links...while leveling other girls social links high enough too.

Its been awhile since I played them but I'll take your word for it. I just only remember it being in the original P3 game.

Will it still be a giga chad if this version features a super beating from girls Persona 5 style? :P

You'd have to be pretty brave to break Aigis's heart. You might get shot.

I played the original P3, (not FES) and I honestly believe the devs just expected you to focus on one gilr and to only slightly raise the others because it was almost impossible to max out all social links unless you followed a strict guide

Only if she awakened to the concept of jealousy by then.

In order to get Orpheus Telos one needed to max all social links in one playthrough if I remember right...
