I updated the title. I still haven't finished Persona 5 (stuck on the boss of the sixth palace; they have an instant kill attack that I can't seem to dodge), but hopefully it works. (the old title was outdated, seeing as Joker's out now)

I'm honestly more hyped for the Warriors spin off than Royal, Royal being PS4 exclusive means a lot of it is gonna get censored or removed. Which kills the hype.

You’re still missing a decent chunk
Sounds good! I just reached the point where the game started, so I'm looking forward to finding out where the plot goes from here.

"If you were to ask whether there’ll be more new Confidants besides these two, between “YES” and “NO,” the answer is “YES.” Please wait for a follow-up."

This is such vague phrasing that it must mean something weird... I'm thinking maybe there will be "new" Confidants in the sense that some characters from the base game will get new Arcana and a new Confidant at some point in the story?

Akechi and Sae, maybe? Both are autoranks in the base game, but they also grow enough as characters to merit an Arcana change. The third semester could allow you to strengthen your relationship with them - maybe even romance them?

Atlus made Catherine: Full Body on PlayStation platforms without running into this sort of trouble. That game has a mode wherein all the characters are in their "pajamas" for no particular reason. I really don't see where all of this anti-hype has come from...

At least the wait won't be long since news is dropping tomorrow

Oh, I thought it would be a trailer because of the previous announcements. Did they ever specify what form of info the new would come in?

Some neat info on the post vanilla game stuff!:
"During the new January to April playable part, players will be able to freely enjoy their days, it’s not made of scripted events. All the different places in the game from Shibuya to Shinjuku and the newly added Kichijoji will be accessible. The other world will be accessible in some way too."

TIME TO SPEND THE WHOLE 3RD SEMESTER WITH MY WOMAN

Yeah. Helps that some info has been gathered that kinda insinuate her being pretty important, even compared to other house leaders.

It's sounding like FE is becoming like Persona, with conversations acting like Social Links, there being months, and that you can only progress the story and months by beating the boss (like P3's Full Moon Operations).

Yup. Makes the fact that the game has been discussed so much on this thread even more fitting. There is a distinct amount of time management to this game.

That and it kinda has the feel of Trails of Cold Steel

Hopefully she gets to be the true main character of the game (like how Chrom was the real main character of Awakening, while Lucina and Robin were right behind him)

I dunno, because I'm petty af and I judge things on appearances, that one tan house leader guy clad in yellow is the guy I plan to support (whose name I just discovered is Claude). Is it wrong that you can probably marry these leaders given how they're your students? Wow, that's a little uncomfortable, but I sure don't care since I'll be heading straight for marriage with that character. Fates had the one gay option for Zero/Niles (To which I suppose it's fortunate enough I liked the character design and personality well enough. I was going to pursue that option first playthrough anyway for the novelty anyway, but it's nice I liked the one option we were given. No child unit sucks but hey I get that finding a dragon child in the orphanage seems unlikely. Still, marrying Niles is objectively a handicap in optimal runs for Fates because of that.), so here's hoping I don't have to play the female Avatar to wed him, but I will if I need to.

That’s a good enough reason to go for a character honestly

Yep! I'm feeling pretty hyped personally, but definitely feel bad for the traditional fans who have been craving a more hardcore pre-Awakening experience, as Edelgard Potter and the Trails of Advance Persona is definitely not what thy were hoping for. I'm hoping the map design will be good enough to make it enjoyable by everyone, even if people use the "auto-tutor" system.

That said, more games that use a calendar system is non-objectionable in my book. It looks super fun and I am eagerly awaiting more.

It's weird how they haven't mentioned anything about romance yet... Maybe they'll reveal how it'll work at E3? Marrying your students would definitely be awkward - especially since you seem to directly control their schedules and who they do/don't spend their time with. We'll, uh, see what comes of that.

I also hope they'll let you date people regardless of player gender, like they did with Zero/Niles and Syalla/Rhajat.

The Western side of Pop Star.
So, apparently, furry!Joker is starting to trend now.

Can't believe that the stunt that was pulled in the Ultimate social went this far.

Atlus made Catherine: Full Body on PlayStation platforms without running into this sort of trouble. That game has a mode wherein all the characters are in their "pajamas" for no particular reason. I really don't see where all of this anti-hype has come from...
It probably doesn't help that Yakuza Kiwami 3 apparently is planned to have its controversial elements removed that were in the original.

So, inconsistency is the name of the game here. Some people are okay with this stuff, others aren't, that sort of thing.
