Blame Atlus.
Among many other things, I'm glad people are turning on this company for their backwards and ultimately pointless, shooting-selves-in-foot actions.
I see, thanks.

The fact that Atlus continues to do this when the world is so easily interconnected, and we are all watching the streams anyway is hilarious. But of course, we need to make everything needlessly hard for those dirty gaijins so they won't bother.

Morgana is gonna turn into another waifu at the end of the game, Midna-style. you heard it here first,
But that's point. He's a lonely bear stuck in a TV and finally he has someone to talk to.
That's probably why he's so horny too.
'Why would we want to spoil ourself to things that we'll get months later anyway', they can't imagine why we are wasting our time on this stream.The Marketing for foreigners is for later when it comes out here.The western marketing team is simply an entirely different team that has little connections to the japan one. Not saying it's any good but that's what they think.
It's really the mentality of a small company rather than a square-enix that can afford multi-language dubs.You'd think Atlus is big like that but maybe they're really not.

It sucks but probably just control yourself and stay away from discussion threads or anywhere with potential unmarked game spoilers for a few weeks until the heat dies down.

It doesn't matter if it's Atlus USA or JPN. They have ALL bungled something when it comes to P5. Atlus USA especially has shown that they are completely ill-handled to deal with both the US and Europe like JPN expects them to.
And with SEGA not even giving them any sort of stability on the EU, this joke of a show continues indefinitely.
Actually for the same reason why his Persona is a based on a doll: Teddie wants to be loved, and assuming the form of a mascot character is his way to do achieve that. It's also worth noting that once Teddie begins to understand human interactions, he creates a new body for himself that allows him to create more meaningful relationships.
Because Moogles are the worst part of Final Fantasy.
Just making new words doesn't seem that hard. There are so many Scrabble and Crossword helper websites that I was able to throw this together in a few minutes:
Unless, of course, you mean things like an over-reliance on the same two-letter words, and making sure that your average person can figure out the hints without going online. In which case, I totally agree. "Mayaguez" is already pushing it.

Doesn't the original crossword puzzle directly reference in-game objects? I feel like "Blue Mountain" was in one of the previous games as well. That would make it even harder to properly translate them without re-programming them.

Have to change the letter input too.
And after Persona Q I have every faith in Atlus USA not going overboard with localised puzzle difficulty.

The lighting the lamps part of PQ was the death of me.
Sega Eu really only does PC stuff, they are actually not equipped to do localizing stuff for japanese games, that is what they are. That they can't expand to do more stuff is a different matter, just finding publishers to do their work for them seems to be enough for Atlus.
Get out
Maaaaan, never thought I'd say this but Im absolutely LOVING Morgana. HA! Her AOA portrait is straight up boss.
Naaaah. Im sure they have competent graphic designers there!
Personally I'm jealous of those who get to localize the graphic design into English. The game is so beautiful in JP I would absolutely relish the challenge of getting that same beauty the English version *___*

The game is looking so stylish and the music sounds great. So much going on. Sad all the delays have happened but man, this game looks like it's gonna be worth all the waiting. Trailers confirm I'm gonna really love Yusuke. His angry face is ridic and his ending pose is great.
It's unbearable!!!All this Teddie hate, smh.
I think it's gorgeous. This is the kind of graphic design work you only get in pretty high tier comics at this point. Atlus USA has their work cut for them.
Tiny waifu is tiny.
Ahh, so she is basically Alice from Heaven's Memo Pad. NEAT + hacker + physically underdeveloped. Maybe there's new trope of NEAT girls.
I thought "Blue Mountain" just referred to the type of coffee bean. And now that I'm looking it up, I can't find anything Blue Mountain-related on the MT wiki.
Yeah, but I would hope that if they can change the characters in the crossword itself, that they could change the ones in the palette. I just didn't want to spend too much time on a quick mock-up.
But speaking of Persona Q, I have to wonder how much they actually can reprogram the game. Nich M said that they had to localize the quadrant puzzle without being able to reprogram anything (I think the original puzzle was kanji-based?). Have to wonder what they can do with 5's puzzles.
As someone who worked on localization of Grandia 3 back at Square-Enix many years ago, yeah, localization of an RPG is fucking rough. lol. I enjoyed working at Square for that short time on that project, but yeah, it's crazy how much work you put in making sure that the localization isn't busted.

have you ever met Asian women before? They aren't under developed, it's just a physical characteristic. But whatever, I don't want to derail this thread.

It's really interesting to think about how much gameplay we have yet to see that Atlus hasn't revealed yet. Even if this was all of the side content that we can expect in terms of activities, the volume feels pretty comparable to other games in the series. From memory, what we've seen so far (spoiler'd for those who don't want to know, but are in this thread for some reason):
Likely missing several as I'm doing this from memory, but the quantity is pretty impressive. I feel like the team is taking more of a Yakuza approach to its side activities in the sense that there were be several different activities offerings similar bonuses - which I'm all for. It'll reduce the sense of grind that you could sometimes develop while playing Persona 4 and doing the same activities over and over again to grind stats.
Combat looks snappy and fast, which is appreciated given the new, expansive dungeon layouts. Since things seem a bit more complex this time around, the less time you spend out of the map and thinking about where you need to go, the better.
It's definitely nearing the stage where I am choosing to go on media blackout, though. It's going to make the wait more painful... but hopefully FFXV and I am Setsuna will tide us well over to the new year.
Burger store, 7-11/'on-the-go' store, Cafe - food preparation and coffee preparations Cafe that is external to the one that the MC stays in; raises charm?, Crafting, Baseball batting centres, Muay-Thai(?)/martial-arts training sessions, church confessional?

Conversations are also a big plus, here. They look fun and it's great to see this mechanic returning to Persona.

And here I thought she couldn't get any better.
So she's like 4'6"?Tiny waifu is tiny.
137cm
Maybe I used the wrong word. She's not under developped, but still she's probably one of the shortest girls in her class, and I say this as an Asian.

I'd prefer that then this mascot crap. Make him a male yoruichi
Edit wait what is the gender of the cat?

Man, I hope that cat is talking all the time. Every video has it just talking constantly. Biggest turn off for my hype so far.
Do you mean neet? But do you actually mean hikkomori?
Most of it's not voiced. Morgana's dialogue seems to replace the narrator dialogue from P3/P4 (the >You went to the theater. or >You decided to hang out with Yosuke. sort of stuff).

Probably. It seems a bit weird to apply the NEET label to like... 1st year high school students.

Oh... She's much smaller than I thought. Is she like, 12 or something?
Is this a joke about small teenagers or something?
