[Elwiwi]

Ah, no worries. If you are referring to the beast nation, I'm about to get to that part. Gives me something to look forward to, I guess.

Sorry , at least I can't spoil you anything more , I am in that zone too

That explains so much about why the Persona series is the way it is. Written by shut in weebs and meant to be consumed by weebs.

Tbh, I have never been friends with a girl either. But then again, I had no male friends either, so maybe I'm just a loser. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You got Bass though? What more do you need!

But would you assume it is impossible to have friends just because you haven't experienced it? That would be pretty limiting as a writer, I'd assume. That means we could never write about the medieval era or sci-fi, because we haven't experienced it personally. It turns out, you can talk to other people or (check this out) read books and learn more about things you haven't personally experienced.

That entire interview was dumb. As much as I love persona, I hate virtually everything that comes out of these two individuals’ mouths.

On a serious note, what he actually said:

“You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, ‘Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life.”

“If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it.”

“Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves.”

“Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know.”

“It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans.”

“And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!”

Damn, Hayao Miyazaki is based. I want to fist bump him through my computer monitor. Problem is the Manga/Anime industry is so commercialized now, and the fans are so fanatical, they can get away with any slop as long as it has a cute artstyle. That's why the director of Persona wanted all the girls to be cute. Easy to delude the otakus with pictures of pretty girls than to say anything of substance.

The Persona 2 duology and Persona 3 are good though.

He's the only person I can describe this way sans sarcasm. Dude does not give a fuck.

I haven't played Persona 3 but I did start playing Persona 2: Innocent Sin PSP version and I did like how it started. I should give it another try one of these days.

Persona 5 is overrated trash and Persona 4 is mid (except Adachi he's great).

 

[ObscureJigglypuff]

Let's be civilized guys, i still want to see dick monsters throwing Pulimpa in every turn.

That was one of the wildest things about playing SMT games. We can't put boobies in a video game without an M rating, but one of these madlads snuck in a giant dong monster into the game and no one noticed.

Some of you lack perspective. Genuine friendships between men and women were not common until maybe the last two-three decades at most, and the opinion that they aren't real in the way same gender friendships are was literally the standard. This is true in most cultures and for basically all of history until very recently. Men and women did not commonly just "hang out" in a non-dating context unless someone - usually the guy - was really trying to date the woman but didn't have the courage or honesty to say it. There are tons of study that show testosterone levels getting lower and lower for men across the board for several generations in a row, and women's hormonal balances have also changed a lot. These things affect how we think and act to a degree you may not realize. So we are becoming less different. These guys grew up before this happened and what they're saying is completely normal and standard for their generation. It doesn't make them "shut-in weebs". They're probably married and shit. They probably had girlfriends. Love isn't friendship.

it's not all persona 2 fans but always persona 2 fan

You're not wrong, but that doesn't change the fact that Modern Persona are designed to appeal to stupid otakus who will never have a normal relationship with a woman in their lives.

[Viviana Santos]

That's incredibly dumb. Sorry to be so blunt, but that shit is so divorced from reality I cannot call it anything else. Men and women have had friendly non-romantic relationships as far as I can remember. And I am old as fuck. If what you are saying is true, women could have never succeeded in a professional setting because all the men would have been hitting on them non stop. Also it generally goes that a man and a woman have some type of friendly/casual relationship and get to know each other before they become romantically involved. So, what you are saying is wrong, at least from a western perspective. What happened in ancient history is completely irrelevant to a game like Persona 5, which is set in modern day Tokyo.

And the whole bit about testosterone levels is yikes.
