Lol everyone and their mothers are agreeing that a Teacher and Student relationship or an adult with a minor is a big no-no in real life and reality, and yet once you have it presented in a fictional work like here in Persona, all of a sudden everyone going crazy about it.

Y'all just wearing masks in your real life, aren't ya?

I dig teacher and student relationship. One of my favorite dramas:

I may have to go to TV Tropes to look at all the girls cause I still can't decide who to go with. So far my sensei is winning.

Favorite drama about a pedo teacher and a kid who look like he's 10?

galvenize · Apr 20, 2017

I wish Tae was as invested in my first play through as Becky was. She starts strong though: best looks, best outfit, best personality, best hairstyle but then as the game went on after maxing her, she kinda fell off my radar since I never buy anything from her. Pains my heart but Becky wins the best adult award.

It sucks that the closest save point before valentine is so damn far. Altough understandable. Still gonna reload that save to explore the other options. I got time to waste Atlus!

Yes... anything wrong with that? It's still a drama, after all.

There are some good messages conveyed in the drama.

BassForever · Apr 20, 2017

Did Ann's romance scene, I find it weird the invite back to my room inbetween rank 9 and 10 felt like a better romance scene then the actual rank 10 one.

Looked it up, the poster makes the dude look super young. Like in the movie he doesn't look like he's 10.

I know no one who thinks that is okay. Even on gaf, 'nice' comments about a teacher abusing their position to get with their student is considered ban worthy.

Yeah, he looks pretty young in that poster. But the actor is indeed rather small for Japanese average. He's indeed still in his teens in that drama and shorter than the teacher (well, the actress is a top model at the time), but not actually 10. Okay then, this is getting oot.

I mean a lot of people are raving about how romancing Futaba makes them uncomfortable since she's "family" or whatever but then again she's actually much more "acceptable" than the likes of Kawakami, Takemi, Chihaya, or Ohya

What's wrong with Takemi, Chihaya, and Ohya?

I'm guessing that Takemi and Ohya are still in their mid 20s, while Chihaya is in her late teens or early 20s. So Takemi is

an illegal drug maker

, Chihaya is

a cult

, and Ohya is

an alchoholic

. Are those the reason?

CrazyDude · Apr 20, 2017

I mean the teacher and student romance in this game is not worse then being able to date Ken in persona 3 psp.

Antiwhippy · Apr 20, 2017

I mean are you trying to roleplay as a teenager or are you just thinking about qualities you yourself like?

Because if I'm thinking for myself liking kawakami is a lot less weird than liking futaba.

gun_haver · Apr 20, 2017

Well I just decided to go ahead and choose romance with Kawakami and I feel like a god damned disgrace. Not cos of the teacher thing, but I have betrayed Ann. I truly am a piece of shit.

Just wanted to see what it felt like...It feels bitter. Feels cold...

It was for Female MC only and even so the localization changed a few things to make it not as daring as the original game

I assumed it was. Still, Atlus is cool with huge age differences, but dating guys as a male is a no go.

I'll probably go with Makoto since I can't have Yusuke.

bomblord1 · Apr 20, 2017

Is it just me or does the game's social links have a significantly higher ratio of eligible bacholerettes than previous games? Am I just looking in the wrong places for confidants?

Antiwhippy · Apr 20, 2017

You play P3P so you can romance Akihiko anyway.

So the point is moot.

Ulong · Apr 20, 2017

Ulong said:
Serious talk, dating Ken is a lot more fucked up then dating the adults in P5 because of agency. In real life a Kawakami would be seen as predatory, but because it's a video game and she is just an npc with no agency it doesn't really feel that way. Letting a player act out some "Get with teacher" fantasy is fine. On the other end of things the FeMc in persona 3 portable has full agency since you are the player, and letting players act out that relationship with Ken feels a lot more gross.

Don't worry, the US localization makes it as if the FeMC was just having a good-natured playful attitude towards a precocious crush that Ken has for her.

Even ATLUS themselves seemed to understand that that was wayy overboard, lol.

One plays games and uses the Persona 2 name of Maya in her game but gets embarrassed when she finds out who you really are. Also looks like an older Yukari. The other one is a maid by night! She even calls you Master! And she looks great!

I personally think Kawakami is much more attractive-looking in her normal style than in her maid clothing, which is one of the reasons why I found her Confidant storyline as kind of disappointing.
