Can you be gay in P5R?
- - - I must know if it is worth purchasing or not. - - -
I believe you can be gay whenever you want. One must not allow the developers to stop you from achieving your dreams.
- - - I suppose I should be more specific... in the game, are you allowed to romance Yusuke? - - -
In that case, I am afraid not. The only romance options the developers decided to add are related to the new characters, particularly Kasumi
- - - Can't be gay with Yusuke? Then why the hell did they even bother to make a special version? I suppose I will have to go back to fanfictions - My one beacon of hope. - - -
I understand how you feel, and intend to write a strongly worded letter regarding this basic failure in not providing the most worthwhile of boons. Would you care to sign this petition to ensure our voices are heard?
- - - Of course I will. Yusuke must be able to be romanced. I will not stand for less. - - -
Wonderful, I aim to set forth this petition on the morrow. This error in judgement must be rectified
Even if Yusuke was gay, it doesn't mean that Joker would be. Also if Yusuke not being gay is the only reason for you not buying the game then why even play the games at all. Just stay with the fan-fictions.

Former Holy General, you play as Joker. So if your gay, Joker is gay. If your straight then Joker is straight. Also just because they don’t want to pay $80 (USD) to play a remake of Persona 5 doesn’t mean they shouldn’t play any of the games. Also, fanfics are limited. I’ve read every clean one that a can for certain characters, and if you spend 100+ hours reading Yusuke fanfics instead of playing persona games you don’t actually get to interact with the character and your definitely going to run out of fanfics to read.

Who are you to decide how royals act? Also I think its called The Royal because they act less like underdogs and more like “royals” doing whatever they want, as long as they agree on it and etc
So we're the bad guys now? Sick
Calling P5R a remake is like calling FF7R a remaster
Calling P5R a remake is like calling FF7R a remaster It is a remake though. They REMADE it and then added some new stuff
it's a remaster. A remake is like going from RE2 to RE2 Remake where literally everything is different and it's practically a whole new game.
Egh, well I’m dumb
- - - How incredible! I return from my rest to see this not only revived, but my wishes insulted. I had played the original Persona 5, as a gay man, it did not feel good to me for to not be able to romance another man. Joker is a self-insert first and foremost. You pick his name, decide his choices... In the end, I can merely watch playthroughs of P5R. It's not easy to insert myself into Joker's shoes when he is not allowed to be gay. - - -
Can i date a man? No that's weird! But you can date this overaged, alchoholic reporter lady cause THAT'S normal!
It really is ridiculous... I hate being able to date adults but god forbid I date one of my fellow same-sex teammates. In a game where you’re supposed to go against society... heteronormativity is a bitch

Just stay with the fan-fictions. I mean, I'm fairly certain he was joking given he's on a website like this. Though I do think one or two gay options wouldn't kill anyone.
