Probably be just his race, also if he had an afro, I'd assume Atlus would have went for a sort of Disco-dancer style outfit for him as a phantom thief, who knows what his persona would be then.
Depends on location it's set in. If it's still japan, not much change and there would probably be one side quest having to with him being japan in japan. somewhere else like america? Yea expect a totally different game with a lot more to say.
realistically instead of allowing him to go to school somewhere else to pay for his crime, they would have just given him the chair without a trial or any evidence beyond Shido's lies. Either Joker dies 5 mins in or the game radically changes and he's broken out of his holding cell by Morgana and has to remain on the run.
That'd actually be a kino change to the persona formula. Imagining maintaining confidants while trying to avoid the law. No school obviously
Do Black folk ever get tired of inserting themselves into everything? I don't' have the whitest skin around but I don't have to go WHERE'S THE REPRESNETATION AT! I just enjoy media for what it is.
It's crazy to me that Persona, despite being an autistic self insert fantasy, hasn't gone the full route and given you a customizable protagonist. Just go the FE Awakening/Fates route and have a canon appearance as well. I understand that the anime cutscenes might conflict with that, but they're one of the worst aspects of the game anyway and could be entirely done away with. In engine cutscenes have always been better.
It works because of the set main character you homosexual. I can't imagine persona 4 without playing as Yu. Same goes for 3. Just because you want to be a Black person doesn't mean we all do.
Pretty much. Yeah Ren is a template character you're supposed to project yourself onto, hence being able to name him, but he still has a fairly well-defined personality. He's usually chill but also a huge theatergay, with a penchant for style and flashiness when he can get away with not keeping his head down. He'd be the good-looking and talented guy on the drama club who's actually popular. Someone like Yu meanwhile is more like the the small town chad quarterback of the local football team who's just a good guy all around. Strong but silent type, humble. Even Door is a pretty emogay, another type of guy girls like.
Door is also suffering from some level of depression for a good part of the game considering his backstory, he just copes by listening to the same playlist on repeat 24/7
Try having some imagination. Insert yourself into the role. I hate this idea of " HE MUST LOOK LIKE ME". Go play something else if that's what you want.
I still wouldn't have played it. P5 has a very "commodified" look to it, like it isn't some grand statement about the world but some product you consume, but who am I to complain about a game meant for 15 year olds. I'll tell you- a fricking jackass.
Children. I'm saying this game is meant for younger audiences. You might want to frick 15 year olds but doesn't change how immature they and their media is.
It would be just another reason for people to avoid him or think he's trouble beyond his criminal record and autism. Nips don't like foreigners, Ann is suppose to be a quarter american and nobody likes her because of it.
There are tons of blacks in tokyo, theres an area that is almost all nigerian bars. shady as frick, but they party hard. (they will drug you, steal your shit, and maybe blackmail you apparently)
The first dungeon would never be completed he would go with the sports teacher getting him more puss and getting sloppy seconds and then try and make a sex ring in the school. He might even be the star player in the Volleyball team and even double team a few people with the teacher.
It probably wouldn't have changed shit.)
(I have no experience with Persona so I'm just assuming this isn't an established character from previous games.)
He's the main character who's a fairly blank slate. The most you get out of him is that he's normally quiet and reserved but when he's his thief alter ego he's a wienery show off.
Have his arrest record be legit because he beat the shit out of Shido in the beginning. It makes Shido's fear when he realizes who you are in his palace feel that much more real.
>watching my cousin play P5 with english dub >one of the background students has an obvious black guy voice coming out of a pastey japanese teenager
You can tell he's trying to do as neutral a voice as possible but black people don't fit in doing English VA work for Japanese anime and games unless the character is black, an old ethnically questionable man or Medabee.
Doubt, all the best thieves are israelites since they rarely get caught. Black Joker would have tried to wrestle a cops gun off him and got shot to death before he even became a Phantom Thief.
Instead of being given a deadline when he would be threatened to be expelled/reported to the police by the various palace rulers, it would just happen immediately and it's game over.
He'd frick the blonde
Mutt's law
Ryuji?
yeah.
I would not have bought it
not funny :I
It’s just Bantz nobody here is actually racist
Me. I am.
I am.
I am.
Japs and Latinos are okay with me though.
Kys homosexual
I am but i only hate and despise Black wienerroaches and israelites,other ethnicities and races are fine with me.
I hate Black folk
Just the degenerates of each race, holding humanity back with their bullshit
funny how it didn't hold it back in the past, only just now, what changed.
I'm not racist but I am very antisemitic
I hate Polacks so much its unreal
>I hate Pol- ACK!
It's /misc/ACKS
I love polacks so much its unreal
out of 10
True tbqh
im sick of forced diversity Black folk in movies
This. Not everything has to have amerikangz. Especially not in Japan
yep
It'd be better because he'd cause even more seethe
Ryuji would try to act black around him. Also the school would’ve been more racist because of the whole Shido thing
He doesn't speak and has zero personality so nothing would change whatsoever.
He would have gotten shot by cops and Shido would have sic'd the sexual abuse on him
Probably be just his race, also if he had an afro, I'd assume Atlus would have went for a sort of Disco-dancer style outfit for him as a phantom thief, who knows what his persona would be then.
he would steal your bike instead of your heart
Well played.
it's japan so people would avoid him as if he was radioactive
First arc is already that
Depends on location it's set in. If it's still japan, not much change and there would probably be one side quest having to with him being japan in japan. somewhere else like america? Yea expect a totally different game with a lot more to say.
It would sell less
Into the jail, he goes
SHIEETTTT homie DIS MYSTERY THIEVES BUSINESS KINDA FIRE NO CAP
the game would be about racial tensions and suck even more than it does
Pools closed.
not every black person has a afro
what if every scottish person ran around in a kilt and played bagpipes
it would be kinda based then, they better carry a claymore too
Every black person should grow an afro though. fade is a mid haircut
>what if every scottish person ran around in a kilt and played bagpipes
They do.
Poster above has a mental illness
he gets called gaijin by everyone
Maybe he'd have a confidant with the black guy npc in Shibuya.
He’d be an actual rapist and a thief.
We'd probably get real world thievery missions too
he'd fail all the exams throughout the year with a low capped intelligence
Steal your heart (and your phone)
I was just thinking how great persona and smt is because there are next to no Black folk in them.
The assault charges would have been true
LE CASUAL RACISM SO FUNNY XD
Sae would've stuck him with possession as well.
Then there would be no group called phantom thieves, they would be just regular thieves
Harem route would be canon
More lockpicks
All the prison imagery would hit differently.
no one would buy it.
Everyone would fawn over him for 5 minutes and then never speak to his face again because the Japanese are weird about foreigners
Joker being Black would probably unironically improve the story.
>We're gonna steal your hearts and shiiiiet
It would flop
Akechi's ass would never recover
Would have not gotten parole
Nothing POC are already the majority that plays it
>final boss drops a long spiel
>MC : *smacks lips*
realistically instead of allowing him to go to school somewhere else to pay for his crime, they would have just given him the chair without a trial or any evidence beyond Shido's lies.

He wouldn't have gotten the chair, by statistics he'd be a Ugandan or Nigerian migrant and so would've been deported back.
doubt much would change
pretty much all of main cast is extremely fatherless
Do Black folk ever get tired of inserting themselves into everything? I don't' have the whitest skin around but I don't have to go WHERE'S THE REPRESNETATION AT! I just enjoy media for what it is.
Killed by cops before the game starts
He'd spend the game crying about racism and pretending he's not insecure around whites.
I’d ignore it
It's crazy to me that Persona, despite being an autistic self insert fantasy, hasn't gone the full route and given you a customizable protagonist.

wish fulfillment =/= self insert fantasy
with p5 they went for vaguely autistic, but charismatic and bold protagonist
Pretty much. Yeah Ren is a template character you're supposed to project yourself onto, hence being able to name him, but he still has a fairly well-defined personality. He's usually chill but also a huge theatergay, with a penchant for style and flashiness when he can get away with not keeping his head down. He'd be the good-looking and talented guy on the drama club who's actually popular. Someone like Yu meanwhile is more like the the small town chad quarterback of the local football team who's just a good guy all around. Strong but silent type, humble. Even Door is a pretty emogay, another type of guy girls like.
Door is also suffering from some level of depression for a good part of the game considering his backstory, he just copes by listening to the same playlist on repeat 24/7
>huge afro
>instead of knives you use nunchucks
it would be a huge improvement
why can't we customize the look of the main character if they are supposed to be us
Try having some imagination. Insert yourself into the role. I hate this idea of " HE MUST LOOK LIKE ME". Go play something else if that's what you want.
NO.
He'd have been deported after hitting the politician.
He'd be in shinjuku harassing white people.
I still wouldn't have played it. P5 has a very "commodified" look to it, like it isn't some grand statement about the world but some product you consume, but who am I to complain about a game meant for 15 year olds. I'll tell you- a fricking jackass.
Children. I'm saying this game is meant for younger audiences. You might want to frick 15 year olds but doesn't change how immature they and their media is.
meds
Absolutely nothing except Ganker's reaction
joker would either use a blicky or an uzi as his side neutral
Ann would become the canon romance
Would die of alcohol poisoning from drink to much 40’s
He would've been less lame and boring
He would actually have committed crime before the game began.
>a black
>leader of the phantom THIEVES
well at least it would be faithful to real life
It would be just another reason for people to avoid him or think he's trouble beyond his criminal record and autism. Nips don't like foreigners, Ann is suppose to be a quarter american and nobody likes her because of it.
WHO COULD JOKER BE COULD IT BE THE ONLY BLACK GUY IN NIPPON?
Frick you say, rice cracker?
There are tons of blacks in tokyo, theres an area that is almost all nigerian bars. shady as frick, but they party hard. (they will drug you, steal your shit, and maybe blackmail you apparently)
The first dungeon would never be completed he would go with the sports teacher getting him more puss and getting sloppy seconds and then try and make a sex ring in the school. He might even be the star player in the Volleyball team and even double team a few people with the teacher.
He would be a Black person
The final boss is the white supremacist government system, and you get empowered by BLM protestors and KFC.
i would have bought it
It probably wouldn't have changed shit.)
(I have no experience with Persona so I'm just assuming this isn't an established character from previous games.)
He's the main character who's a fairly blank slate. The most you get out of him is that he's normally quiet and reserved but when he's his thief alter ego he's a wienery show off.
Have his arrest record be legit because he beat the shit out of Shido in the beginning. It makes Shido's fear when he realizes who you are in his palace feel that much more real.
he would be a real life thief
Instead of arrested he would be shot by the cops after Saes palace
And he would deserve it
Very epic thread Ganker, very video games.
I'd never play it
Might be an improvement 200% more gun
Flop.
But people love Black person protags, just look at Death Loop, Forspoken, and Spiderman: Miles Morales
lel
Sunset Overdrive 2 is outselling Forspoken
>watching my cousin play P5 with english dub
>one of the background students has an obvious black guy voice coming out of a pastey japanese teenager
You can tell he's trying to do as neutral a voice as possible but black people don't fit in doing English VA work for Japanese anime and games unless the character is black, an old ethnically questionable man or Medabee.
He would've been even a better thief
Doubt, all the best thieves are israelites since they rarely get caught. Black Joker would have tried to wrestle a cops gun off him and got shot to death before he even became a Phantom Thief.
Jews got away with theft in the face of the Anglos so checks out.
He;d be a rapper
Instead of being given a deadline when he would be threatened to be expelled/reported to the police by the various palace rulers, it would just happen immediately and it's game over.
>draw a white or asian character
>smear it in shit and give it bad hair
>"wow, he's literally me"
He would've been actually guilty of assaulting that woman
Not much
Being black and being a criminal are on equal levels of social outcast in Japan
