So in some videogame related news, Atlus just announced and posted a trailer for a remake of Persona 3. Pretty normal gaming news right? Yet the response I've seen on reddit and elsewhere has literally been batshit crazy.
They announced that it was gonna be a straight up remake and not include any of the portable content (Which added a female main character route). This has people I guess losing their fucking minds calling it misogynistic and "heteronormative" or other crap about how they're gonna boycott Atlus and not buy the game and yada yada yada.
Like who cares? It's a remake, they can make it however they want. Not to mention the female mc they're creaming over was only in the portable remake and never mentioned in any of the official works. Yet these people are foaming at the mouth over it? Have videogamers always been this crazy, like is a portable spinoff character from 14 years ago worth to sperg over? I just don't understand it and wonder if I'm alone in it.
That definitely explains things. It's just weird to me that their foothold is a PSP release from 14 years ago. As someone who used to play a lot of import releases and japanese games for the Playstation Portable adding a female mc or other routes was bog standard for most of the releases of the time.
Which makes sense, they needed something to get people to buy re-releases or portable ports.
It was released on Steam 6 months ago alongside P5.
