Persona 3 Portable was one of the few Persona games with a protag who wasn't a shitty self-insert for otaku. Over the years, Persona has gotten a lot worse in terms of being waifu simulators aimed at maladjusted Japanese dudes.

P3P is the best otome game

In all seriousness, what happened to Atlus? Why did the female characters in their games go downhill so rapidly? And why is the series so overtly fixed on male protags?

>haha le edgy emo kid with dyed hair and cold and silent personality
>not self insert
fuck off

>trips
is not only atlus japanes vidya and anime are like this now
is like an entire generations of men doesnt want to live anymore in reality

>protag who wasn't a shitty self-insert for otaku
Hold on what game are you referring to?

The shift in tone between Persona 2, and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (which had a female protag!) and Persona 5 is absolutely bizarre. And I gotta admit it's kinda disappointing that the devs behind modern Persona brush off questions about female protags. They've pretty much abandoned the OG Persona fanbase in favor of waifufags.

Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5 all have the exact same kind of self-insert Japanese anime male protag thing going on. P3P fixed this by having a far more interesting female protag with greatly expanded social links.

Back to resetera with you, you didn't even bother changing your ip so now you just look like you're samefagging, also
>self inserting is bad
>except when girls can do it, then it's okay

"With Persona 4, though, we needed the character to come from a big city to a small country town to be the driving force of the story, and it seemed more natural for a male character to fulfill that role."

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

Who gives a fuck about self-inserting? The Persona games with female protags have been vastly better written. It's no coincidence.

Otaku/weeb bucks, plain and simple. They only care about the money

Why are so many Japanese devs obsessed with teenagers? Is it because they're trying to revert back to their childhoods or something?

Because only teenagers buy console games in Japan

it's the last time they remember having fun before becoming depressed salarymen.

I just finished P3 last weekend and finally got around to playing Royal today. The amount of dicksucking Joker gets compared to Minato is fucking absurd lmao

their audience demographic is children and manchildren

>Who gives a fuck about self-inserting?
Literally the OP
>The Persona games with female protags have been vastly better written
P3P is 90% the same as P3, any improvements in writing can be attributed to them having more experience with that kind of game since P3P was post P4. The only other full game with a female protag was EP and if you actually played the game you would know she was not the standout protag of P2, that's Tatsuya, EP Maya was a shell of her former self since they turned an outgoing and upbeat character into a silent protag and that just didn't work.

Yamai is in the second group.

What's wrong with that?

Probably because dudes rock

>persona game
>not promoting self insert

The absolute fuck is OP

There's also the fact her being a female MC leads to fundamentally more interesting writing. Persona's male protags are bland as fuck.

Shut the fuck up, live and let live.

>Persona's male protags are bland as fuck.
anime yu was great.

I don't understand the mentality of not wanting to self-insert as the protagonist of the story. Why experience it vicariously? It's more fun to be the one directly in the story, instead of controlling a characterized puppet. I'm convinced that people who prefer not to self-insert are just cucks. They experience their fiction the same way a cuck experiences sexual stuff, as an inactive, sidelined voyeur, as opposed to the chad active participant who inserts himself directly in there, and is actually ther because of that.

Dont kinkshame please

You don't need to self insert when you have that thing called empathy.

I'm not kinkshaming, I love cucks, the emotions they feel as I ejaculate into their waifus bring me pleasure in my masturbatory fantasies. The overall amount of pleasure I feel would be reduced if cucks didn't exist. Thanks, cucks.

>ejaculate into their waifus
100% virgin

>There's also the fact her being a female MC leads to fundamentally more interesting writing.
fucking what

I'm far more interested in experiencing life through someone else's perspective. People who need to self insert are shallow.

Japan has no shortage of stories about bland male teenagers with dark hair who hang out with a bunch of women. It's a tired approach to story, and changing the main character to a woman shifts a lot of subtle stuff, and leads to richer characterization. There's so much lazy bullshit that gets a pass with a male MC.

Like?

There's about as much lazy bullshit that gets a pass with female MC too though, You'd actually know this if you read/watched the more female oriented works like shoujo manga and stuff.

Also, your average female MC is almost always this slightly above average nice girl with some genkiness sprinkled on top of it.

This is fucking hot, someday I'll do something like that to another Zig Forumsirgin, at least I hope I'll get the chance.
