Seeing the usual suspects with localization this time, bragging about ruining things others like for their purposes, despite having a cool style and me usually liking Atlus games I have to full on avoid this one.
Had to full on avoid SMTV:V as well since it had the same localizer, but I at least played the original V before that one came around, and it may have had some localization fuckery I'm unaware of too.
I've actually heard the writer (not localization scripter, the ACTUAL writer) is also weirdly pozzed, has something against cars? Both SMTVen and P3R treat them like harbingers of death, and both have this writer in common.
EDIT: About that writer, I should have clarified, I think he's NOT involved with MRF, but I wanted to mention that there is always a possibility of Japanese "progressives" doing cringe moralistic shit.
I think it is likely SMT/Persona, probably Atlus as a whole got pozzed awhile back just because of the way some of their games have been. It has been more subtle with things I have played, and there has been the normal localization drama, but it is clear they are moving towards that "modern" "progressive" kind of messaging.
They were a lost cause years ago. Basically they were full of westaboos that always wanted to have a hipster eccentric image different from other Japanese companies. They let localizers oversee productions and advertised online how cool their office was, actively encouraging more foreigners to come work for them. You can guess what happened next.
