Seriously, why does Persona attract normal burgers who hate anime

>>378898715
I don't think it does. I can't imagine anyone who hates anime playing Persona 5

>>378898715

People need a reason to justify buying a PS4.

Because its setting and themes are far more refreshing than the usual JRPG fare and it has a unique style.

>>378899624
I hate anime and I played Persona 5. And the rest of the series. And mainline. Pretty much the only JRPGs I like.

>>378898715
I doesn't
You just think that everyone who isn't you is normal

Persona gets shilled pretty hard in the west.

EYAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

>>378898715
I'm about to buy it and I don't watch anime and plan on using the English dub. The game looks good, so I'm going in with an open mind about the anime style. I just figured that if it had a photorealistic look to it instead of an anime look, I'd probably have bought it at release because of the gameplay, so I want to get it and not miss out on it for such a petty reason.

>playing high school simulator

normal burgers subconsciously wish they were back in high school because they probably made it a really shitty time for themselves
when they later on in life, realize that those are the days where your supposed to not give a fuck and have fun, make friends, etc.

normal burgers never had "real" friends and resort to playing weeb high school simulators to feel like they have some sort of a "normal" social experience in their lives.

>>378901718

>>378901306
Oh okay.
Why the 150 then? That seems like an awkward way to write 1.5 million.

Also, Is that considered big as far as JRPG's go?

>>378898715
Most Americans are monolingual savages and playing games or watching movies in any other language is a painful reminder of their cultural retardation, hence why they avoid it at all costs.

>>378899976
Persona has an anime aesthetic but actually has thought provoking and meaningful themes with fun gameplay, there's a degree of self insertion and fanservice but it's not the mindless escapism most anime is

>>378899624
Hate anime, love Persona (and SMT).
AMA.

>>378901858
150 followed by kanjj meaning ten thousand

>>378898715
Because it's trendy to like stuff with an anime aesthetic "ironically"

P4 didn't get anywhere near this exposure and still got a dozen spinoffs.

I thought P5 was good, but nowhere near as good as I expected to be especially after waiting almost ten years for it. Shame that we're stuck with these characters for the next six years

I never got this either. Modern Persona is very anime and filled with cliche anime tropes people who hate anime tend to list to justify why they hate anime yet it gets a free pass. Spoony is an example of this but he's insane and I don't think it's fair to assume everyone else who thinks this is like him.

you guys are out of the loop. P5 got a decent amount of shilling in the west -- US at the least. even gamestop had special videos promoting this game where a "nerdy" "gamer girl" presented the game. it's funny because most of them end up not liking it

>>378904168
Because you don't hear Japanese voices enough and you don't pay attention, you try to imagine them in English.

>>378903908
I understand it well enough. I played through all 3 & 4 with their odd sounding dubs. Just thought it would be nice to do it differently this time.
And I'm a fan of Aoi Yuuki, Sugita, Jouji Nakata etc.

Caroline is what broke me though. Jap she sounds like a tomboy. In Eng she sounds like she's pushing 40.
>>378904168
Even if you don't speak the language you can tell tone and emotion. That's what matters.
I want to feel the heart of what's being said.

>>378899624
I dunno why I like it either. Persona 3-5 are some of the only JRPGs I like and they're some of the most anime bullshit in the world. Normally I hate the stuff but I genuinely enjoy it.

I can understand using the dub since atlus was too lazy to subtitle half of each cutscene

>>378904624
Stop enjoying it.

>>378904624
It's because Persona is way better than anime.

>>378904624
I guess at the end of the day you don't need a reason to enjoy something.

>>378904837
Persona will never be as good as Samurai Flamenco though.

Either this is satire, or you didn't really make much of an improvement in 22 years.

>>378904625
What? fatlusa only subbed half of each cutscene?

Why would I use the sub? I know the VAs are high tier like Yuuki and Sugita but not everything is subbed, and the dissonance between what I can understand from my limited grasp and the translation triggers me.

>>378901858
>Also, Is that considered big as far as JRPG's go?
That's pretty huge for JRPGs that aren't Final Fantasy or Pokemon

>>378909972
Because then they complain that they should make the Japanese game less Japanese and that they're should be more diversity, so Persona 6 could potentionally end up being heavily westernized.

>>378910178
It's not just about the dub, I'm asking why these kind of people like the series.

>>378910340
Maybe people like turn based rpgs and dating sims so it´s the best of both worlds in one game

>>378910340
maybe because we've been playing these anime games since before dual audio was a thing and DGAF besides dub is always better than sub

Oh right you said normal burgers. Well I never played a Atlus game besides P5 but I wouldn't want the next Persona to be westernized, I would think that would alienate current fans of the series and make fans/people who started out with P5 and enjoyed it dislike P6 (if it was to be westernized)

Wow people still defend dubs and think they're not weebs when they play a Japanese high school simulation? Idiots the lot of them.

They might be into manga or something else weeb but don't actually like anime.

And dubs usually aren't the eldrich horrors that purists make them out to be unless the "localizers" took a hacksaw to the translation for a lower age rating and/or because they thought it was funny.

>>378910232

Except no they don't really, that's just paranoia rhetoric people come up with to shitpost. Even if it's not just shitposting how about don't be fucking paranoid shits and wait and see what actually happens with Persona. Just because Square Enix is precious with some of their properties like FFXV in trying to Westernize it a little (and even then not all that much) doesn't mean that's suddenly going to happen with everything. I'm pretty sure everybody is tired of hearing this shit from sheltered insecure weebs by now. Shit like Nier and Persona 5 got a little more popular globally than their respective publishers expected, deal with it and get on those anti-depressants or smoke a bowl of weed and breathe in and out nice and easy kids. Slow deliberate breaths, no hyperventilation.

anime hater here. Persona 5 is a great game. One of the very very few games with anime aesthetics which isn't a dumpster fire.

the only time dubs are better in anything jap is when the media in question is heavily western influenced. games like mgs, resident evil(though i think most of them are english only in the first place), soulsborne games, and anime like pic related (this is probably the only anime ever where dub > sub). it's retarded to play a game like persona with the dub.

>>378901895
Most Americans are bizarrely xenophobic when it comes to media to the point where even British stuff is considered spicy and exotic and they just wouldn't watch a non-anglosphere movie even if everybody was speaking fluent English with a neutral accent.

>>378911921
I've seen people complain there's no female protagonist, that there's not enough age or race diversity, that it takes place in Japan, that there's fanservice, that there's a cute mascot character, that it's anime-style, that it's turn-based, that the protagonist can date older women, etc.
How about just playing a different fucking game?

Good lord you people will turn just about anything into a stupid fucking argument. I'm off to play some games, had enough for today. It really is no wonder that even in 2017 almost nobody likes painfully insecure anime weebs and their bullshit let alone can tolerate them for any extended period. Like sometimes you'd figure if you breathed the wrong way a weebs direction their entire self-confidence would shatter and they'd instantly hit meltdown mode and go whine on the internet about how much they hate "normal people" to feel better about themselves. Years of consuming anime shit and nothing else has clearly rotted their brains inside and out.

>>378901528
ITS NOT FAIR

>>378898715
I don't hate anime but I also don't mind dubs. Manga is better than anime though hands down.

If movies, TV shows, and video games are not available in dubbed format in your country, it is a sure sign that your language is dead or dying.

>>378912741
Or because they like the original audio unlike burgers. There was a famitsu survey showing that most people who play western games prefer to play with english audio.

Subbed video games are normie-tier.

Master race watches subbed anime and plays dubbed games.
