I'm glad there's no female protagonist in Reload.
The female mc was always niche and only chosen by a small minority of people much like fem shep in the Mass Effect series. Despite journos claiming otherwise there's no point in the devs wasting money writing and designing a female character next to no one will play.

It was an understandable decision

It's not an insult, it's what's transpired. He's getting what he wants, and he's gone out of his way to dismiss the rest, rub our noses in it.

You think this is the only game she does this? She made one in the new Fate game that had 24 jester awards. Also lies of P for not having a mandatory female mc even tho the main character is literally pinocchio, and then jester awarded every reponse. This is nothing new to her just leave it be. No point responding to these kinds of people

Do you have statistics to actually back up this claim, or is this just poor troll bait that's already working?

Hopefully those statistics also account for the different player groups i.e, ones that only played original/fes Vs. P3P so we aren't accounting for the large group of players that by design only played Male MC.

There is not really any proof that I know of, so I think he prob refers to the p3p popularity poll in which she was not in the top 3 despite being a protagonist.

Whether or not she's chosen a lot doesn't really matter. As you said, by design she was not an option in any version of persona 3 other than portable. She was always considered an additional take on p3 as quoted in portable, while a nice addition, it isn't and wasn't a priority for a reimagining of persona 3. Her route would also likely consume a big part of the game's development time and budget, meaning they would prob have to sacrifice some of the planned new content and additions for the main game, which many obv don't want.

I think that was the main point of the post

Also there's also 2 groups of players to take into consideration the group who actually purchased a PlayStation Portable and who owned Persona 3/FES on the PS2 who bought Persona 3 portable and the group of users who owned Persona 3/FES on the PS2 who bought a PlayStation portable but didn't purchase Persona 3 Portable because they were turned off form the lack of cutscenes vs the OG P3 and FES. Back when P3P was new. But now a days I think more people have played the Female route than we think since P3P is over 10 years old at this point.

Even in games where devs try to gaslight players into playing ad the foid because western devs hate men like cyberpunk, still nearly 70% of players played as male V. This being a niche jrpg means the statistics would be even more skewed male

Same that cries over couple words of alleged "censorship", he is totally fine with cutting half of the game.

He doesn't. So the latter.
By now FeMC was played by vast majority of P3P players since it's been 10+ years after all.

Do you have stats or are you just talking out your ass? I already know the answer

The female mc didn't constitute half of the game though. Persona 3 and FES existed long before the portable version was ever conceived. This also isn't a remake of Persona 3 Portable so why should the devs have to include the FEMC? Even in Portable's case I'd wager that most people who played chose the male option given the overwhelming majority of gamers are men and have no interest romancing guys. It makes sense that the devs didn't want to waste resources on something so minor as including the gender swapped Makoto Yuki which was my original point.

And yeah I and some others are far more concerned with the translators on this project being ideologically motivated to insert propaganda into the game given that's what progressives have been doing for years at this point both in the gaming and anime industry. Shouldn't you also be concerned as well? If authenticity and faithfulness to the games is what you want then you should be critical of script changes as well.

That re-release of P3P isn't a remake since they didn't do anything to upscale/upgrade the graphics of the game. It's more or less a port. Well so far with the trailers for P3RE there hasn't been anything weird with the English text. However that's only a very small piece of the puzzle here on whether or not that there is any unprofessional translations with the game.
