Protagonist

[AILAD]

Is it another silent protagonist like in Person 5 or it a fully voiced protag. Do they talk in all dialogue and combat?

i'm only 3 hours in so far, but all the lines that you answer to other characters are voiced or sometimes only text from the protagonist. so he talks this time around.

[xgc1986]

no, he talks, only on voiced scenes.

That's good to know.

It's so sad that Persona had the garbage silent protagonist.

Cause you "Self-insert" in rpg games. That's why silent protagonists exists. Definitely not my thing, but you also cannot say garbage cause a lot of people do like to self insert and rp.

there is a literal demo for the game, it will cost you nothing to find out yourself.

Nah, it's just bad bro. The protagonist is thinking and talking in Persona, it's just that their lines aren't voiced.

Also, if it's "self-insert" why is it not also an invisible protagonist?

Or the op didn't wanna download over 50gb worth of nothing if he/she only wanna know that one tiny thing, so people who aren't antisocial shmucks can give him/her an answer.

I was hoping that the protagonist would be a real character, with a name and personality, you know like in the Witcher 3 or Final Fantasy... but no, it's another lifeless awkward "self-insert" but this time they voice a line every now and then with deadpan delivery.

A real shame. I don't know who this stuff is for. Did anyone ever play the Witcher 3 and say "I wish the main protag was lifeless so I can self-insert"?

He talks, but he is certainly not a chatterbox.

Ironically the protagonist isn't a self-insert. The game asks you to input your own name first when the game starts, and later you're prompted to name the protagonist as his own entity. Even though you're roleplaying as him (he's often referred to in "you") he's still not "you."
