How you feel about "No romance" in this game?

[DukeFavre]

I like having romance options like in Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect or Baldur's Gate 3. I'm a fan of Atlus but I have mixed feelings for ReFantazio not having romance options.

romance has never added much of anything to any long JRPG aside from letting you simp for your favorite waifu.

if anything its actively taken AWAY from most games by replacing well written characters with a girl with 1 personality trait - being obsessed with the main character

It is a fundamental part of the role playing experience.

not remotely no. the story does not call for romance at all therefore romance is not in it, there is no romance to roleplay as it has nothing to do with the role you are playing.

More options opens up the role playing experience. Less options limits player agency and immersion.

One of the biggest appeals of Persona was romance, so between this, translation concerns, and the diversity-centered plot with the tolerance stat nonsense and whatnot, this seems like a very easy skip. Atlus has officially jumped the shark. I have a feeling we have Atlus West to thank for all of this.

weird because from my experience with persona 3-4-5 romance feels like its tacked on and uneeded. could just be me though, I didnt really feel they added anything, and often RIGHT as you "romanced" the girl you would pretty much never hang out with them again lol.

I feel like the romance was withheld so they could have something highly requested to add later when they inevitably do a director's cut version in a year or two.

[bruh]

the problem is in jrpgs everytime they add romance it's always an option between multiple characters, and because of it they always have to make it non canon and more of a side thing which makes the whole romance pretty shallow.

so i can't really say i miss it that much

People expected a deep romance system in a persona game, an AA game.

In addition, saying "it's bad/unnecessary because it's just a pair of rushed scenes" shouldn't even be considered a fair argument, because even within the Persona series, there are main story arcs that are literally rushed, and it doesn't necessarily made it bad.

Did everyone already forgot about P5 ending arc?

Agree, I would love also something similar to Fire Emblem Three Houses.

Not every game needs it and it often feels tacked on.
Honestly even in BG3 it's really silly how you just act decent towards someone and five seconds later they want to get inside your pants lmao.

You say silly, I say "Why not?"

[八雲べに]

pretty sure they will make a ReFantazioR with romance

Romance in this game is unnecessary, and frankly, it's rarely done particularly well when it's an added feature in another game genre. I suspect most people equate "romance" in games to unlockable sex scenes.

Persona romances felt similarly tacked on, with the binary "friend/partner" decision available for all potential love interests at the end of their story arcs. Excising those out for this game takes nothing from the experience or the character interactions.

I don't mind no romance, I honestly felt like it was tacked on after P3.

Why do people care so much? Video game romance is so cringe. I'd rather them spend time on game mechanics and systems.
