This game is woke, right?

[Anon]

Atlus lost the plot, just like RGG, Square Enix and other Japanese companies, right? I watched the IGN review that talked about diversity, equality and other communist hippy diatribe. Sad that Blackrock's forcing of behavior plan is working so well.

Sad to see a great effort destroyed.

I played the demo that had a phenomenal art style, orchestral embellishment, and aesthetics but no...I will not pay someone for re-education.

I am old enough and can make up my own mind about sociopolitical issues.

You're right art should ONLY be esthetic and pretty things. Depth and meaning is overrated I want pretty things and that's IT. ♥♥♥♥ politics and woke I'm returning to Bioshock. A true apolitical game

Hilarious. Never seen people like you in an anime game community before. This and a couple other threads here have been really entertaining.

If you have clown awards to give out, they are better off with me.

I mean one of the persona style personality stats you raise in the game is literally called "Tolerance". Never too late to train yours like the MC will be doing.

I will definetly be awake this friday tho

''I am old enough and can make up my own mind about sociopolitical issues.'' then procede to not buy a videogame because of ''it's woke''
Let's be clear, I don't like woke in videogames, but that's won't stop me playing a game I like. If you made your personality around your political orientation that's bad for you i guess.
(Also: the game is not woke)

[Deified Data]

Initially I thought it might be because swee baby concord but looking at the high review scores or must be based, not woke. If something reviews well it's never woke

yay here comes another thread of people arguing non-stop over a non-issue

you have to be such a miserable person to let the political undertones of the story stop you from enjoying a video game. if you don't enjoy playing that's totally fine, but purposely trying to start discourse is lame.

I played the demo and didn't notice anything.
Then watched the reviews and heard that it's pro diversity, etc.
It worries me but I'll play the game anyway. I didn't feel like it was forced when I played the demo. It was more of a common sense "lets fight injustice stuff".

I guess I am miserable. It looks like the new Dragonball game that teaches hardwork and inequality suits my sad existence better.

Yet, because turn based JRPG's are by far my favorite genre I really hope I am proven wrong as more people review its story. As I said from what I played I cannot wrong the game except its narrative.

It is literally relevant if a game tries to push a real life political idea.
Unfortunately more and more games can't separate gaming and pushing politics these days, it's become yet another medium for indoctrination.

But I'm hoping this is a false positive.

Got these images from a couple reviews, I'm pretty sure it would fall under "woke" for most. Really doesn't have to be this big mental gymnastics things, just engage with the story and its themes with an open mind. Maybe you'll get something out of it/agree with it or maybe you won't. Kind of the whole point of stories.

I am only doing this once and never doing it again. I will not respond you any further but HOW ON EARTH IS THE SECOND IMAGE WOKE ? what the hell ? learning about different cultures is fun and being tolerant is in no way a bad thing, for the love of God.
