>2017 >silent protagonist with no core personality Really

Talk about missing the point. You know that the reason he's forced to steal the masks of enemies and wear them is because he has no personality of his own. Listen to the lyrics of Beneath the Mask.

>>387909657
He's a vigilant justicefag, way more personality than the last two protagonists.

>I'm a shape shifter
>At Poe's masquerade
>Hiding both face and mind
>All free for you to draw
>I'm a shape shifter
>Have no face to show
>Please don't take off my mask
>My disguise

>>387909823
Don't be pretentious, the japanese silent protagonist archetype is for the player to self insert effectively

>>387909823
Or

They wanted him to be a silent protagonist like the other games and try come up with lore excuse to justify it

>>387909657
Except his possible response choices clearly indicate a core personality. He's snarky, but unassuming most of the time. Add in a flare for theatrics and showing off and a tendency toward older women.

>>387910854
To be fair, that's actually something Atlus has come out and said about the silent protagonist and there was even commentary on it in game in Persona 3.

>>387909657
I used to think like you but after playing a couple of Tales of games now I consider silent protagonists a blessing.

-yond the capacity of western devs ?

>Dragon Quest

>Soulsborne

All those franchises with silent protagonists are so behind the time, that's why they sell so poorly and are barely talked about right ?

>>387911691
>i play shit games so hur dur

What the fuck makes you think your opinion has any weight because you play tales games?

>>387912493
Dragon Quest is one.

Shit is still not better than most turnbased games despite kicking off the genre lmfao

>>387912601
Because they're the same weebshit as persona? Are you retarded, mister?

This. Is it not obvious? Why do you think he's named Joker? The other silent protagonists have their own personalities as well.

>>387912979
Italy not the voices's fault Aigis sucks ass.

Joker is smug as fuck

>>387913209
Aigis is cool and has a good voice.

>>387913287
Aigis is nothing but Otakubait and it's one of the worst characters in Megaten.

>>387909657
The bigger issue is linear dungeons in 2017, if they would make it non-linear with multiple ways to complete it I would rate the game 10/10 right away.

my jojo sense says your going to respond with a reaction gif; stupid normie

>>387913994
>gives answer
where was the question

>>387913994
I think his condition supposed to be a poignant statement about depression, and that he lost his sense of true justice when he got sent to LeBlanc for standing up against Shido's crime. But maybe that's just me looking into it too deeply.

>>387913469
>otakubait
so, like all of persona?

>>387914286
Well that may be true. Every character reached some sort of conclusion when they awakened their persona, I guess MC had to have one too.

>>387914469
Most persona don't talk dog or bend realty to their will so no

>>387914837
>talking dog is an example of otakubait

>>387915297
Yes? How about everyone ignoring the fact that Aigis barely resembles a human?
>look at that thing with its weird ass face and no feet
>oh, it's the new student. Don't mind it
A robot learning to become human is as Otakubait as it gets.

Silent protags are the best though.

>>387911342
There's nothing wrong with it if the justification is good.

>>387918383
And its not. Only ZHP did the silent protagonist trope justice.

The song is actually from the perspective of Joker's Personas, not himself.
