      Careful about persona 4, game is super homophobic and overall not nice towards minorities. If that’s a dealbreaker to you, Persona 3 or 5 are better experiences. Id argue p5 feels less like a jrpg too

      Also there’s a remake coming out soon which will flesh it out, as it is a quite outdated game

        I played it and don’t remember anything that isn’t typical in JPRGs. I guess you have to be able to withstand a certain amount of cringe if you’re a fan of Japanese games/anime.

          No, I played quite a bit of jrpgs myself, and even my anime loving gf who usualy is okay with the usual cringe amount said that it’s just overwhelming in p4.

          For context we’re trans and lesbians so it might just be that we’re more aware and concerned by the horrible moments than you.

          In stars and time is a wonderful queer jrpg I love a lot. No cis het character in the main cast.

          Persona 3 portable has a lesbian romance scene as female MC, or just if you consider the main character as genderqueer, which they kinda are in my headcannon tbh lol.

          There’s Super Lesbian Animal RPG which i’ve heard a lot of good from.
