Why this game has no romances ?

[EarthwormJim]

The romances are the detail that has give Persona the opportunity to overtake the main franchise Shin Megami Tensei...

Why this feature is gone in Metaphor?

IMAO: No romances = No buying

[Rekombo]

They need a selling point for an inevitable special edition.

[REBirthTheEdge]

The game has some implied romance with Gallica being hot for the protag.

It just doesn't have straight out romance scene like Persona.

[JCKLNTRN]

Not every game needs romance in it.

[Drunio]

Dev said in an interview it’s not the point or focus of the game and would take away from it. Persona is about teenagers and romance is a part of its identity.

there is no point in being a king, saving the world and defeating god if you don't get a girl in the end...

romances should be present in every RPG of the world, it created affects to the player and give him the will to imply in his journey... that's why the Tales of franchise is such terribles evrytimes

I don't expect it in most games, but I thought there would be romance of some sort in this one for sure since it has you raising bonds with various characters; it doesn't make sense that there aren't any ramancible characters.

Romances are of little importance to me. Its a video game. Not a dating service. I am glad the distraction is not present.

[zero]

didn't sell me on persona and wouldn't of sold me here, a romance system is fine, but lets not pretend persona ever did it well, you get it at the end of a social link, and it changes a number of events you can count on one hand.

With the number of posts I see about waifus and such in Anime games with romance I am not far off.

You kinda are. For starts they aren't real and no one thinks they are.

exactly, they just give you some affect for characters, you're not just passive over their choices, you decide their fates, worst things of all is when you don't like a character and you just follow the scenario, and it happens to be the love plot...

it's like Tales of Arise, you have the romance that the games impose to you and you just have to deal with it... terrible

imoa Persona without the romances, it's just shin megami tensei, (or persona 1 and 2) it's really the romance system that has granted the success of the Persona franchise, it feels like a regression to be striped of it.

Yeah, this game ain't Persona.

And I'm glad it ain't.

Devs must have wanted to be taken seriously after seeing people calling Persona games "dating sims" as a way to dismiss them for many years.

Congratulations, you did this,
