Better to have them spelled out than suffer the weebs to misspell them in youtube comments.

OH WAIT THEY DO THAT ANYWAY

Respect. Unfortunately I doubt some people will go for letting him score her anyways.

>people cuck Kanji

What the fuck is wrong with you monsters?
>>
>>285454052
It's acceptable in P3 and P4 because without honorifics, they wouldn't be able to address the MC at all.
Other games in the series set in Japan ditches honorifics entirely because they use your name; see Nocturne.

Kanji's my boy but Naoto isn't his property. She made her choice and she rides with me.
>>
>>285458737
In their heads, they like Naoto, they know he won't go for it, so they'll try. I don't know, that's my guess.

I want to romance Kanji.

Why is Persona 4 praised so much? I don't hate the game but its disapointing considering P3 and generally speaking the whole SMT series. People always seems to praise the characters they made 3 fucking spin offs because "muh characters" but how are they even good?

>an asshole
>a dumb country girl
>an autistic guy
>boring stutering girl
>a tranny
>arguably a slut
>an obnoxious "mascot"
>a faggot

>>285454052
People always complain about english dubbing but the reality is that no one in the history of ever has been able to make honorifics sound good in english sentences.
>>
>>285460151
>3 spinoffs
Because not having your protagonist die at the end of the main game actually helps. And I think your baiting, but I'll indulge you: P3 and P4 are 2 totally different games with 2 totally different styles and themes. Some people like one, and not the other, fucking deal with it.

I enjoy P4 because of how light hearted and happy the general atmosphere is.
>>
>>285460151
I personally like P4's cast way more than P3's
I just find the P3 cast kind of boring to be honest

For a lot of people it was their first time playing a game of its kind so it stuck with them as something special. Lots of them ended up not being into the genre and/or never moved on so they became faggot fanboys, a lot like KSfags.

Unlike most other SMT protagonists had been up to that point, they're by the book likable, generic, attractive anime characters.

Part of me likes to think that they made them that way for reasons other than appealing to otaku. "Not being an attractive anime protagonist" was basically Adachi's motivation, which I thought was interesting and lent an element of bitterness to the whole thing.

Mostly they're just cute and people want to fuck them.
>>
>>285460151
If you word the characters that way then of course they'll sound bad! But personally I see what you're trying to say (sort of).
>>
>>285454052
The answer is fairly obvious if you think about it. Honorifics have lot of meanings and lot of different usage so it's generally a pain in the ass to translate them properly without losing inintial meaning. For example "-san" and "-kun" indicate different degrees of intimacy, "senpai" can be used as a pronoun or as a honorific, it can be also used as "our senpais" which would translate to "our upperclassmen" which doesn't sound very good. It may sound weird to hear native english speakers struggling to pronounce "senpai" but its for the sake of keeping the translation as close to the original meaning as possible.

A better question would be why did they had to translate "onii-chan" when the Persona audience is familiar with the term?
>>
Honestly I would rather have honorifics instead of forced nicknames. What gets under my skin is when they say "Big brother" or "Big Bro" instead of Onii-chan/Anakii. But that's just me
>>
>>285462275
You couldn't pay someone enough to say that.
>>
Because the game takes place in a japanese setting
>>
>>285462832
"How's your hamburger, upperclassman?"

Can you have sex in this game or is it just "Hurr durr u r my bf now"
