Maybe its because I’ve had slightly more exposure to SAO than FT so I resonate with the hatred for SAO but why is Fairy Tail in the same ballpark? Is it them pulling the “power of friendship saving the day” card a bit too much related to it?
I think they're both subpar anime that somehow have a big following.

Are we sure "Jane" Isn't referring to Joker's Persona? I mean we all assume his Persona will have a model cause why wouldn't it, right? so what if it's simply Referring to that.

I personally think it's more likely than some brand new Gender option for Joker leaking in the Data when P5R or whatever it appears in likely isn't even out yet, I mean if Rex was too late for Base Game what makes Joker's new Gender not too late for DLC? assuming Joker has been worked on for awhile.
There's no reason for calling any of his Personas "Jane".

And a new gender option would be just a new alt and voice actress. It's not fair to compare these to a full-fledged newcomer.

Hold up. Just kinda realized.

Joker comes out in April. Reggie departs Nintendo in April, too.

To gain something immeasurable, we must lose something of equal measure.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Though at the same time, if they don't announce P5R between now and the Smash Direct we can assume that we're getting, the whole surprise factor's gonna kinda be lost, ain't it?

There is literally no reason for any of Joker's Personas to be called "Jane".

Most likely scenario seems to be a female protagonist.

And it wouldn't be the first time the series introduced a female protagonist after the game's initial release (Persona 3 did it iirc).

There's also the fact that it's part of the Alt Costume code.


Unless Joker's Persona is going to change drastically in appearance between alts(afaik, this is the only mention of Ponytail, which Arsene doesn't even have)....yeah.

I once saw this really good concept for a female P5 protag. It wasn't just Fem!Joker, it was like a whole new design. Sadly, the only thing I can remember is that she had white hair, and I've never been able to find the picture again.

I just hope P5R will have more to it than a female Joker. Give me new storylines and characters please.

That's... par for the course for all the Atlus re-releases.
Portable didn't have much in terms of new storylines, tbf, unless you count new Social Links.

I also hope they're not like Marie's story in P4 Golden. Not really the best addition.
Unpopular opinion, but I actually liked Marie's addition and think it added to the story. Though agreed about it not being the best.

I liked Marie, I thought she was a pretty neat character.

Her poetry ****ing SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS, though. I rolled my eyes and set my Vita down every time I was forced to listen to it when I entered the Velvet Room.

I did not mean to compare it to Rex as in it would take as much Dev time, I meant it as When did Atlus come up with this idea of having another Gender option for Joker and if it was Sometime in 2018 (When DLC was being Negotiated, if we don't know already) Sakurai couldn't possibly know what they would look like.

Atlus would've had to have Concept art of what she would look like, no telling if she changed or not and Atlus would've also had to share it with Sakurai to begin with in-which depending on when Joker negotiations were complete Sakurai would need to get the team to work on it and hope that Atlus didn't change the concept art. There's no telling even if they had Concept art if they met in let's say late 2017-Early 2018 as we have no Idea when the creation process of the Fem Joker was being made, Art takes time.

all these steps would've had to work out just right for this to have happened, and why would they be referred to as Jane? Cause if Brave really is Erdrick they would know at the very least that they should make the Codenames less obvious.

I have no problem with Jane if it is a Fem Joker, I welcome it but I have kind of a hard time thinking that this is super likely.

I'm pretty sure it's intentionally bad.

I just hope P5R will be Persona 5 with new experiances and not just P5 with female Joker. That's all I ask.
Does that mean we can date Sojiro now

Why is Jack Joker?


Jack and Jane are two just 'generic' names that start with the letter J.


Sure, we can make the connection that "Jack is a card, and so is Joker", but that's about it other than a connection to JACK-Frost.

Also "Jack-of-all-trades" due to being able to use any persona.

Guys, what if P5R ends up being the Persona equivalent of SMT IV: Apocalypse?

I don't think it's super likely, buut:
  1. Shigenori Soejima is generally pretty quick with coming up with designs, mostly having a few sketches before settling down. Granted, he noted the difficulty of designing a heroine, but it's not like a Bayo situation, where her design completed in a year.
  2. Jack-Jane. It just sounds like the feminine version of Joker's codename.
I'm not hyping myself without concrete evidence, but there doesn't seem anything big against it.

there'll very likely be extra scenarios, though changes to confidants alone make a female joker a big overhaul - 3's female protagonist also received exclusive scenes

it also means yusuke would be dateable

it also means that post-valentines day scene is going to look very different contextually all of a sudden
