I only just now learned that you can't romance the girls in Metaphor. That I can't have my knife-eared ginger wife.

Bro cant even play an rpg

Fat women hate "male-oriented" romance subplots so yeah it got removed
Non fat men dont need male oriented romance

Considering the Sweet Baby and DEI consulting allegations I am not surprised
SBI inc made SMT "the less sociable older brother of Pedosona" be about gameplay and religion rather than high school anime rp

Wait..an ATLUS game with no romance subplot!
This is who calls you a tourist btw ^^

This was know even before the release. In fact they will remove all romance from all games going forward. Bye atlus
Persona removing the dating elements would kill it because pedosona fans hate rpgs, stories, and video games. They only care about rizzing up 16 year old girls.

You couldn't romance in SoulHackers either...
Almost like thats not a pedosona game
!g*mers pedsona tourists discover that not every atlus game is persona
!chuds why do you like dating sims so much? I sentence you to 100 hours tokeimeki memorial forever with you since yall seem to like high school dating sims so much. Have fun neurodivergentally managing 9 randomized stats and randomized events to get your dream waifu rather then just choosing a few dialog boxes from the menu.

Ah, son of a b-word, you beat me to it! I was planning on writing about the chud seethe over this game later today. Even went through the trouble of collecting /v/ seethe threads for a compilation at the end of my post.
Anyways, something I'd still like to contribute is a very hilarious (and very unsuccessful) effort to get a hate campaign for the game off the ground. /v/irgins are very eager to rail against lizations of
weebshit otakuslophigh brow literary KINO that westoids are too stupid to appreciate. In this effort, they will pore over every new English release and start making comparisons to the Japanese script. Every self-professed Japanese-only-player will come out of the woodworks to explain to the rest of /v/ the subtle nuances of nihongo and how lators get it WRONG and BUTCHER it maliciously in service to DEI and globohomo.The extensive demo for Metaphor was no different! Immediately, people found this discrepancy:
and others like...
...well that's it actually. Amongst the dozens of ragebait over these TWO (2) lines people would always ask for more examples of differing meanings... and none would be posted in any of them lol. For whatever reason, maybe a single Groomercord cabal has an axe to grind with Fatlus or the swarm of ESL r-slurs on /v/ actually can't read English well enough to understand the localization, this game was fated to attract the ire of many a (or maybe just one) /v/irgin's wrath. Such is life on 4cuck. They'll take away the IP counter but let the schizos reign supreme.
Lastly here's a bunch of threads where chuds seethe that an original IP, hard JRPG with no casual dating mechanics sold over a million on its first day because it's a fantasy setting with different races.

Any translator with actual skill is either translating legal or technical documents for megacorps, or translating things with artistic merit.
Every so often some weebshit translates will make a big complaint about how little they are paid per character and nothing every changes since they don't have the skill to actually negotiate with

The spergout over this is actually a good thing as its attempted gatekeeping. Without backlash is would get way worse way faster

Wild, the old SMT was just brutal dungeon crawling and little else and it fricking ruled.
Strange Journey took me over 70 hours to beat and it just non-stop sci-fi fantasy with no waifu bullshit until the remake where they shoe-horned some b-word from Persona in it randomly.
