Falsely accused and tried in court

Who hurt you?

His parents, looks like.

Japanese parents are all trash

Clearly his parents

>dood adults suck! we kids know what's up, LOL
I am so close to uninstalling this piece of shit. Tell me whether I should beat burger palace legit or just warp to the day after the deadline. I can't stand the autism anymore.

adults r dumb

This. They either don't give a shit at all or are just dead to give the character a sad backstory.

>sad backstory
What's up with P5 recycling the same idea several times in the game alone?
Art fag lost his mum, autistic faggot hacker lost her mum, gun dad's "son" lost mum.

Post your PC's specs, I wonder how good it has to be to emulate this game smoothly.
And what do you mean by warping to the day after the deadline?

orphans are popular in weeb culture

i tried running a D&D game for like 6 people, 4 weebs

i ended up with a table of 4 orphans, a guy pretending he killed his parents but he was just memeing on the orphans, and 1 dude with an extended family

and ill let you guess which ones the weebs were

and Haru lost dad

Because P5's main theme is the older generation failing the young. This somewhat answers OP's question, though it certainly doesn't justify the parents' absolute absense from the game.

wow, pc poors are retards who barely pay attention to the games they pirate and can't beat them without cheating. what else is new?

Hashino is a hack, do I have to remind you that the entire Nusona formula has barely changed since P3?

Don't fix what isn't broken.

>I can't stand the autism anymore.
Killing yourself?

Skipping to the day after the deadline is the same as beating the palace. It’s the trigger

>And not a peep from his parents for a whole year.
This is a running theme in nu-Persona at least. They rarely show anyone's parents. In P3 for example, they only show Mitsuru and Yukari's dads. One dies and one's already dead. In P4 we only see Kanji's mother, though we hear about almost everyone's parents. In the case of P5, frankly I think that Joker's parents just kinda don't matter to the plot overall.

You know user games have these things called "themes"

Theme =/= being a lazy faggot who cannot into write
Xeon 1230 v3 (basically an i7 4470), 1060 6GB and 12GB ram. Game only really uses my CPU, usually hit 80-90% usage. The game runs fine, but it can crawl to like GEE do u think dis change of haert wil wurk??? idk it's only the 900th time we've done dis, maybe knot
Yes

True, but P5 just feels awful. Is it because I am "old" now or why do I hate all of the main cast? I was alright with just having Ann (fuck autists who say Anne), whatever HIS name is and the stupid cat. Even having Yosuke on the team was "okay", but as soon as Makoto joined, AND especially the hacker fag, I just began to hate the whole thing. I even skipped most if not all of the cutscenes during the finale of her palace and afterwards when you guys talked in the hideout. I couldn't stand it. Those scenes are always "boohoo guys this isnt okay" or "this is bad", but then others say "it ok" and then everyone's happy again. Like wtf. I know other Personas were like that too, especially 4 but c'mon.

5's writing is noticeably worse than previous entries. I think it's because P5 was clearly made to appeal to as wide as an audience as possible, but you end up with a wide variety of characters who don't really have any depth. It also goes with P4's format of keeping your party members' development exclusive to their arc, so everyone remains relatively static. Top that off with the current desire for perfect MCs who the entire cast has to fawn over, and you end up with shallow character interactions and poor representation during the story. It wasn't as blatant in P3, but you could clearly see it starting there.

This is intentionally done to allow the player to fill in what he thinks the parents are like. Obviously we don't see literally every second of Joker's entire life, so it's entirely possible that his parents did call him, or they called Sojiro to check up, or they were too ashamed because they felt they failed their kid, or whatever other explanation you personally want to headcanon into the game. The only things we know for sure are a) they agreed to send Joker to Tokyo so he could continue high school, and b) Joker wants to go back home. Come up with your own explanation that fulfills both criteria. Persona protagonists are not independent characters in their own mainline games aside from Maya (and only because she was a character in the previous game), only in later spinoffs, so the player has some room to self-insert.

>self insert reasons
Yet we still don't have a character creator.
Just get rid of the stupid low quality anime clips and there's nothing in the way of a proper character creator.

It’s because losing your mom is a big deal in Japan. It you don’t have a mother you spend most of your time home alone because your dad works a 9 to 9 job and when he gets home he just goes to sleep. Also your grades suffer because your mom isn’t there to jerk you off, so you labido makes it impossible to focus.

They're never going to implement a character creator because Atlus markets the hell out of their MCs now. Joker is the face of the franchise at the moment, has a ton of merchandise and has been in 10+ cross-over events.

Gotta sell that merch. Protags are always the most popular merch machines for each game, yet always the most popular characters because they're so narrowly-defined with room for the player to fill in the blanks. It's Atlus trying to have it both ways instead of picking either full character customization or full characterization, but it works for them.

What would having his parents contact him add to the story?

muh karakter kroatr

The same way the NSA can know who you text over here.

Game is even worse than BotW. Don't waste your time with it.

persona 4 poopy lmao

Dying is failing?

Man I really want an anti-persona game. A persona like game where you aren't popular or good looking. Maybe you have one friend that you can only speak with on certain days and they just vanish one day.

I understand part of playing video games is escapism but you could explore so much by having a depressed, sad game with no friends instead of a wish fullfiment. Hell you could make the character actually improve themselves and by the end of the game they have a small group of friends, not your average 15+ arcanas.

I think nowadays there are many people who feel lonely and out of place from society. People who are in some really dark places who are in such a weird state of mind that they buy something as ridiculus as a gamergirl bathwater. I know we are never going to get a game that makes people think about how they treat others IRL but there's so much potential.

Why didn't your parents in Persona 4 call you when serial murders were going on in the town they just sent you to? Or after your cousin got sent to the hospital? Dojima was in contact with them.

So, P4 as adachi?

No, Persona 4 as Mitsuo. Playing as him being a creepy because he doesn't know better, then maybe improving over time. Give something like Tartarus where you can explore at your pace from the very beggining, but instead of walls blocking your way, have something like strong bosses with weakness you can't cover, thus making necessary to go out of your way to recruit allies.

It sounds good.
But p3 was a bit like that.
You didn't really have friends more roommates, they didn't want to suck your dick 5 seconds after meeting you like the P4 cast did which greatly ruined the game.
With p3 you had to work hard to get them to want to suck your dick and even then some were still difficult.

wtf my mum never jerked me off. so that's why I never made it in life.
>make blank slate character to self insert
>is a pretty boy who everyone loves
Come to think of it, why don't Persona games have a moral system? Like good/bad, but also a system that decides whether a character likes or hates you. I hope the next Persona is about school shootings.

See, I really like P3 over P4 because of that. The characters felt like they were their own persons rather then just MC's little harem. They went through their own lives and dealt with their own problems. They really nailed the message of accepting death, especially with some social links like the Sun.

Maybe what I'm trying to say is that a persona game where the message is "Society shouldn't ignore creepy/weird people because them they would have no chance of ever improving themselves." Maybe old Atlus would try this, but not new Atlus. Persona now is a wish fullfilment game where you date your waifus and save the world, all in time for christimas.

>Man I really want an anti-persona game. A persona like game where you aren't popular or good looking. Maybe you have one friend that you can only speak with on certain days and they just vanish one day.
Then what would be the point of it being a Persona game? The point of the game is to be a) more casual than SMT, from a gameplay standpoint, and b) to focus on personal and societal problems with an overall message of "be cool to each other", from a story standpoint. If you're going to throw away b) then you might as well just make a different game.

Quick, someone call ShrineFox.

>why don't Persona games have a moral system?
SMT exists, my dude.

The ending was dumb and basically a poor attempt to recreate Persona 4's bittersweet ending.

>Maybe what I'm trying to say is that a persona game where the message is "Society shouldn't ignore creepy/weird people because them they would have no chance of ever improving themselves."
That was literally Persona 5.

Because the point of playing a video game is that you get to see things from a different perspective. The whole Mitsuo thing on P4 really hit me a different way because I knew someone like him back on high school. There was this chubby kid who followed me around and just tried to make cheap talk, he even approached my groups of friends and tried to become part of the group, but the problem is he was really boring, ugly and weird. At one point I even straight said that I didn't want to talk to him anymore but since he didn't had any other friends, he kept doing so. Looking back now, I know what I did was wrong, I was being an asshole to someone who needed help becoming normal and that's the leason I think a Persona game could teach people. Don't just point and call someone a incel or creepy or weird, because that's not helping them get out of that bad situation. That's why I say make it a Persona game. People will buy it thinking it's just like P5 but then no one is nice to them and I mean no one. You have to earn your friends, earn your social links, because for some people it's like that.

Just venting man, sorry.

Not him but if that was the game's message it was botched terrible.

That's depressing.

I think that's a good idea but it would be ripped to shreds by most nu-Persona fans.
>wtf why is the protagonist ugly?
>wtf why aren't the waifus on my dick immediately?
>wtf why aren't I the center of attention?
etc

SMT isn't like Persona. No social/dating sim aspects.

Jokers mom loves her boy.

Yes

>teenagers pretending they understand how the world works
no different from real life, only difference is they have Stand ripoffs

It's the culture of Japan being extremely hostile to offenders. Not only that, you can bet your ass Shido changed if from "he shoved me" to "He threatened my life" kind of charges. While it didn't stand, the damage is done. In America, people don't really like to associate with criminals but in Japan who has a much lower record, it gets much worse.

His parents probably didn't contact him at all because they were absolutely upset. Their child went and did something may or may not have been true in their eyes and the blame goes heavily on the parents. Joker probably went to Tokyo school because the shame was simply too great to continue at his normal school.

It's also a video game and greatly exaggerated as well.

What makes it funny/frustrating is their culture always demands the parents are forgiven and things are resolved, even if nothing changes. You have to just let it go.

Take Your Lie In April for example, considered one of the best and most moving romance anime. Now, even ignoring how bullshit the friends actions are, the whole story is about his mother abusing him.

She fucks him up and ruins his life to the point he gets trauma just thinking about playing music. She's been a completely evil bitch his whole life.

But his arc, the entire fucking point of that plot, is how he has to (please) understand that she was abusing him for his own good, and that he's a selfish dumb brat for hating her for it. He's forced to reconnect to her and she's completely forgiven, because she only wanted the best for him.

Such utter tripe.

That's literally Persona 5 you dips.

It's made clear from the start that no-one wants Joker around, everyone's annoyed by his presence and his teacher complains about having to have a troblemaker in her class.

You're an outcast from the whole school. Even things like going to study in the library, everyone complains about you being there, since a criminal like you isn't going to be actually studying.

If you're saying you should stay an outcast and loner the entire game though, then you're not understanding the whole point Persona is going for.

You must have played a completely different game from everyone else.

You are considered an outcast but yet you can easily form bonds with strangers and they start sucking off your dick immediately for no reason. Yeah, makes sense. P5 had the worst social link in the series, they are just bland and you have to tell them what they want to hear.

His parents :(

He brings shame upon their house, they do not speak of him. Love is not Japanese.

P4 still has the worst social links title bub
