I'll never understand why changes like this are necessary at all. Last time I checked, 99.9% of the FANS who played original release of Persona 4 liked Yosuke just the way he was.
Him being insensitive was PART of his character. It was his flaw. What made so many people, including myself, resonate with the characters of Persona 4 was that they felt like real-life teenagers. Growing up, I knew people who just acted like every character in the main cast.
This developer said they made these changes to Yosuke to better fit in the world we live in today, but what does that even mean? There's still hundreds, thousands, possibly millions of people who act exactly like Yosuke today, just as it was 20 years ago. This is not something that "ages poorly". This a natural trait among teenage boys that made Yosuke relatable.
Why be ashamed of that now? Who exactly are you trying to please when you make decisions like this? How faithful can this game really be to the original if you don't even have enough *faith* to leave the character that you created, and everyone loved, exactly the way he was?
None of these characters should've been touched. After hearing this, my interest in Persona 4 Revival is now starting to disappear.
The Persona Twitter community with Persina 4 R in relation to Persona 3 is crazy. Atlus GENUINELY listened to criticisms about P3R and are learning how to improve their remakes, and rather than positively acknowledge how awesome that is, were shitting on P3R?
