[up]

Tweet has been deleted, here's a Reddit thread going over the info with confirmation from the resident subreddit dataminer that it's legit.

Ah shoot. Thanks for the update.

Should've also added that Arsène, Joker's Persona, will also be in Dragalia Lost as a dragon.

Atlus accidentally uploaded their western release trailer for 5 Strikers before putting it on private; launches February 23rd.

Okay, so this trailer basically confirms that Atlus' console games will probably be getting more Steam ports for the West in the future.

Nope. He joins the Thieves in fact, Persona and all

From what I heard, he's the usual Persona spinoff ally which the plot revolves around.

Still, the fact that he is an adult cop makes the idea that he'd be a villain (negotiable sympathy) seems like the obvious conclusion, given how the previous game was.

I feel like Zenkichi's role in the game, and even his joining the thieves was meant to be a counterpoint to how Cops were portrayed in the last game.

And even then, it was just Adachi that was portrayed in a very negative light. Ryotaro's flawed yet heroic and the other cops are just unimportant NPC's.

Given the size of the force that just waltzes into a bizarre metaphysical realm like it's no big deal, it seems like, if nothing else, a good slice of the Tokyo PD is on the take from Shido.

And even if they weren't, as we saw with Joker they're corrupt regardless.

Zenkichi actually goes rogue when he sides with the Phantom Thieves, he's arrested and interrogated when he refuses to arrest them and has to be bailed out by Sae.

so don't worry

[up][up]...Am I missing something? What's wrong with having a helpful police officer character?

[up]It's the implication that the system or the culture isn't the problem that needs to be fixed, but "a few bad apples"

It also ignores the rest of the saying aka

It's late so forgive me if I ask a stupid question: how does this imply such a thing?

Edit: Also, I remember something about Makoto's sister being helpful, wasn't she a government prosecutor?

Because it says its the individuals at fault: But the system will do everything in its power to protect these individuals despite what they've done and changed nonenof the problems they caused.

It's a large, complex, and rather fraught subject, but the tldr is that some people are of the opinion that portraying any cops as heroic is ultimately a bad look, because the system as a whole is the problem, and individual cops are complicit it the system by virtue of being cops in the first place.

I would suggest that we not get too deep into that discussion on this thread, as the conversation tends to turn ugly quickly, given that there are people with deeply and sincerely held beliefs on both sides of the issue. If you want to get into the details, you should probably head to one of the relevant threads over in OTC.
