          There's still plenty of gameplay discussion in UO threads, because of the sheer depth of mechanics the game and party comps have. Persona style games don't have anything like that.

          The gameplay/horny-posting was better at release and slowly getting increasingly skewed (never mind the furgays doing their best to drive people from threads) but that's the fate of all games.

          The game ended happily with every loose end tied up and everyone satisfied. Why the frick would I want things to turn to shit so I can have another game? I enjoyed these characters, I'm happy to leave them their happy ending. Same reason I prefer manga's with actual story progression, rather that the endless treadmill comics run on.

          A UO sequel could be in another world, or hundreds of years later, or anything else. I'd be happy with it.

          Anyway, Persona has no canon romance choice and that's got sequels of all kinds, with the same characters. Hades is getting one, and with today's technology importing a choice would be trivial. Honestly, more games should do save importing anyway, it always feels fantastic.

        yeah, that's a negative. Especially since they have a history or making games that lacked variety of enemies. The game still has press turn combat, there's still Tarukaja. Most people would like that their "not megaten" game uses 100+ mostly well designed demons for enemies.

              Because it is extremely gay. It forces you to use healing every turn instead of only needing to spend a few turns healing damage from enemies and you can buff, debuff, or deal damage the rest of the time. You get a dedicated healer who does nothing else and burns through SP like a drunk prostitute. But you still want a debuffer/buffer so that’s two one-dimensional party members which sucks dick. Aside from being boring this also slows combat down significantly because you have fewer offensive actions.
              The last fricking thing in the entire world I want to do when running an unga bunga str character is spend turns healing.

                I always hated Tactics Oger 64, Unicorn Overlord has been the best game I’ve played this year. I don’t know why but I feel autobattler though accurate is still the wrong word to use. There is a lot of choices made every moment.

                In every strategy game you tell your unit to attack and then sit back and watch what happens, UO is exactly the same. The only difference is that you've got far more granular control over exactly how the combat plays out.

                Calling it an autobattler is ridiculous.

        If you're actually curious unlike everyone else, followers are tied to the archetypes, which is this game's job system. Each follower you meet unlocks a new job/archetype for the player and party. They said this during the showcase. They also said that there are a frickton of archetypes to learn.

        The more you bond with a follower, the more your archetype/job will evolve. There's a screengrab somewhere showing some of the jobs and you can see that jobs/archetypes like "Knight" can evolve into "Dark Knight".

        In my opinion, the reason to eliminate romance with the followers is smart. Because archetypes are tied to the followers, if players had favorites that they'd want to romance, they'd be de-incentivized in meeting new followers and bonding with them. Worse still, players may end up bonding and romancing someone they like personality-wise, but the job they get from them is a play style they don't like, like "Merchant". No romance means players are incentivized to meet and bond with as many followers as possible for a more diverse job system and playstyle.

        People would be happy with 1 or 2 male options.
        There were already way too many romance options in Persona 5. Did anyone really choose Ohya over any of the other girls? Not even the best older woman.
        Also males already get social links/confidants, it wouldn't be a ton of extra effort to expand one of them to a full romance.

    A game can have romance and not have dating sim mechanics. They only said that the social link equivalent isn't about romance. Maybe they want a canon heroine, or for the party characters to have romance with each other. The problem with dating sim mechanics is that it means that every girl (and every boy in some games too) is already property of the main character by default.

        Everything about this game is intentionally Persona-like, from the art style to the UI designs, combat systems, social links, marketing, target audience, and more. This is Persona with a new coat of paint and a few new mechanics. It's done this way to attract Persona fans, and you know it. Maybe it's different enough for you, but I'm sure that for most people out there, it's clear that this is pretty much a Persona but fantasy-ish.
