I mean I come from the land that gave us Honey Boo-Boo, Duck Dynasty, Passengers, and a reality TV gangster in the White House so I'm not sure it's my place to dunk on other people's pop culture.

WTF pagetopper.

As long as you dunk on your iwn culture in equal measure. All things perfectly balanced, as it should be.

Ya know, Persona isn't actually that bad at comedy as long as the scene isn't explicitly about a joke. That's my opinion, anyway. Plenty of silly, humorous stuff in all the games. It's just when they try way too hard to be funny it falls flat.

I do hate the bumbling dad jokes.

Plus the ball & chain shit you commonly see in sitcoms.

They always gotta make the wives such drags.

Humor is extremely subjective; I tend to prefer my comedy from dialogue and clever use of dialogue than slapstick or other form of over the top humor.

Not that surreal comedy can't work, it just has to be Refuge in Audacity levels

There's great and well written Japanese humor that transcends cultural bounds the same as any other country

Persona 3-5 simply doesn't have any

Comedy using dialogue and slapstick as long as the setup for the slapstick isn't fudging stupid.

I don't think the humor in Persona 2 was any different.

I'm still never going to call her Ginko. The game itself abues and mistreats my poor Lisa.

Zenkichi has a daughter named Akane for more Valjean parallels. Even his codename references it via Wolf.

So his daughter is probably his sisters of something along those lines.

So I was reading about Greta Thunberg, the teenage superstar climate activist, and I wonder if she's played P5. She uses a lot of recurring phrases in her speeches, one of which is "You stole our future." That phrase and variations thereof recur throughout the game.

It's at the least an interesting coincidence, and one with relevance to the game's themes. She really hates those shitty adults, not that I can blame her much, of course.

Newest P 5 S trailer

Pretty much just summarizes what we already knows. Futaba isn't playable. Also confirms it's an Action RPG instead of a musou style game.

[up][up] Considering that the old guard really don't want to pass on the torch and are being a bunch of cu-♪Skeleton Warriors♫ about it, I'm not surprised if she did. If she didn't play Persona 5, it is indeed a very interesting coincidence.

At least for Switch, Scramble is 10 GB.
