True, but Yosuke's Social Link also keeps drawing parallels between you and Saki until the end. I think a romance route would make you play the role of a replacement goldfish.
Also true, but the fact that those parallels even exist in the first place says something, right?

Edit: I should really rewatch Yosuke's social link again just to think about this a bit more.

If you ask me, I'd say subtext is there and Yosuke can easily be a romantic partner to main character. I'm just saying there are justifiable reasons why developers break the helm at last second.

Yeah, it is certainly there. It certainly puts some of his behaviors relating to the topic of homosexuality in a new light when you consider everything, that's for sure.

I came here just to say hi to NintenZ NintenZ .
Two things:
  1. We totally forgot to celebrate Futaba's birthday yesterday.
  2. While it does not reveal any new info, We have gotten this today.

Hello Shiny!

Also to answer your question I think we will get P5 Spirits and they’ll be the Phantom Thieves, I imagine they’ll all be upgradable from their civilian outfits to their Phantom Thieves attire, although I’m on the fence about Akechi having a Spirit. (I’d prefer if he was an Echo Fighter of Joker in the form of Crow)

I really think Joker is going to be shadow dropped in April after the direct. I'm basically expecting a Roy and Ryu situation. I think it'll go

1. Joker gameplay trailer
2. Overview of P5 content ala Castlevania segment
3. Extra dlc stage
4. Dlc Mii costumes
5. Free update modes (home run contest type stuff)
5. Brave gameplay trailer
6. Overview of content coming with Brave
7. All released after the presentation!

Given how ATLUS is so tight-lipped about spoilers, if Akechi had a spirit, then I imagine it would be non-upgradable.

That would be awesome! I do feel like they'll want to shadowdrop something at E3 though, so part of me feels like Brave could be delayed until then...

Also, I dunno about you, but I've been seeing that Smash DLC trailer-thing posted here yesterday everywhere as an ad (on Instagram, before YouTube videos, etc).

Yup, totally tight lipped.

In all seriousness, yeah, they would probably avoid any major P5 spoilers.

Seems likely. Heck, :ultpiranha: was released with absolutely no fanfare at all, so it would already be an improvement for only Joker to get advertised within the next couple months.

I mean for P5, given how they blocked the in-game screencapture feature and tried to get people to stop streaming it. They do spoil things in their own spin-off games, but those are designed for people who have played the main games.

Yeah, it's nice to see them actually advertising it! It does also directly say "Approaching: April," which I would say means he is coming in April for sure, but also the Plant shows that it could be "very very late March"...

I don't see anything getting shadow dropped at e3. Don't know why. I feel like Joker and Brave are at the same stage of development. My guess is e3 will announce one character and everyone will be shocked and appalled that we didn't get multiple. Then another mini smash direct will show the last 2.

That's also very possible. This last direct did suggest that Nintendo is wanting to prove itself by not relying too much on Smash to build up the hype, so I could see them downplaying E3. That said, if we're getting a western third-party character, I could see them revealing it at the conference of whatever company the character is from.

Also, regardless of your opinions on Catherine: Full Body, I think we can all agree it unperformed hard in its first week in Japan (61,065 copies sold in the first week, when the original sold 163,762 copies in its first week). This is notably worse then Persona Q2, which sold 79,747 copies in spite of being a 3DS game in 2018 that was primarily advertised via magazine. It is also worse then Etrian Odyssey Nexus, which sold 71,946 copies on release in spite of the entire series not having reached 2 million sales worldwide. It did do better then the dancing games though, so that's... something.

ATLUS, uh, definitely isn't doing a great job at keeping their sales up after the boost Persona 5's success should have given them.

So, I don't want to bring up that topic again, but it seems that the Yakuza 3 remaster had some controversial stuff removed, according to Imran Khan.

Hopefully they'd pull out a big gun in that case, and not something random like Poochy (which I wouldn't mind at all).

A well known Smash 4 modder dug into Smash Ultimate's data, and found what appears to be Joker's stage. Turns out, his stage is Mementos.

Don't open that spoiler if you don't wanna find out details about what Joker's coming with before he's released.

Sort of expected. Hopefully the Mona van can be ridden as a platform.

Okay. I hope it transforms between the metaverse and real-world version, because (i) everyday locations becoming video game dungeons has been a major feature of Persona since P1 and (ii) I like the idea of fighting Mario in the Shibuya Subway station.

By the way, quick note about the new Joker intel.

Because his stage is Mementos, that means it is 100% possible for The Reaper to be a stage hazard.

I am not surprised that the stage is Mementos, but yes I would have preferred Sae's Casino Palace over Mementos.
I feel like Mementos will be like Gamer in that the stage layout will be entirely randomized each and every time.

maybe they did not want to include the casino since it's technically a reference to gambling and nintendo likes to stay away from these things, and the esrb ratings for the game i don't think already include gambling

You know, as dissapointed as I am about the stage, I have confidence Sakurai will make it great. Based on his comments after Joker's reveal, he seems to be a bigger persona fan than any of us. If there's any character he'll put maximum love and care into, it's Joker. I expect a great moveset, a fantastic stage, and a generous selection of music.

We're talking about a guy who gets almost no free time ever, yet maxed all but one confidants. A guy who's been a fan since Persona 1. A guy who bought the special edition sound track and has regularly listened to it since it released, and still does now. A guy who draws persona fan art in his free time. A guy who hasn't had a break in years, yet spent his whole new year break playing persona Q 2. There's really no chance at all he's going to snub persona fans.

Man, Futaba has dominated the best girl poll since day 1. Now she has twice as many votes as second place. Can we just declare her "official best girl" already?

While it might not be overall, I think she is very likely the Smash community's top choice for very obvious reasons.

Sorry but im standing by my queen ok
Thank you for not being one of those people who demands that everyone else agree Futaba should be considered a little sister. I can't tell you how many obnoxious people there are out there who try to shove it down your throat. BTW Makoto is a close second:)

Hey, guys, comin' back at ya with the Hot Joker Intel™.

There was a problem fetching the tweet
The same dude who found out Joker's stage is Mementos found a new interesting string of code in Joker's files. It's got a filename associated with costumes, makes reference to someone or something called "Jane", and seems to be the model bones for a ponytail.

Me right now:


Edit:
I am slightly offended that they did not put "Jill" as the codename.

I wonder what this could be. At first I thought it was a Persona of some form, but one theory that I've heard is that it might be related to a potential female Joker. Maybe in P5R or whatever rerelease we might get will give us a female main character to choose.
