I've been thinking a lot about this topic. The games are really fun and are well thought out even without nudity but I think that Atlus could bring the games to an even higher level by adding just a bit more maturity to them. I don't think they should go overboard with it though. Just the girls and even then avoid doing nudity for the older women even. 


I think they could make a really memorable game this way. Not only would it add a little bit of maturity but it would also add realism. I mean after spending so much time with girls and then to not see them naked? It's just unrealistic. 

They could even incorporate nudity non-sexually if they want to go that route to be more artsy. Instead of having an uncle that was a cop he could be an Ob/Gyn or Security Guard at his video monitoring console. Things that would fit into the story so that maybe they would fit into puzzles too. 

I know this just sounds like a guy who wants to see naked girls but really it's more about improving gameplay and story.

I think what you are wanting is a game that leans toward allowing relationships to go past the sentimental nature they they usually stop at in games and go on to something on more of a mature, sexual level.

It could work but it would have to be done really really tastefully, and I have no idea how one would go about doing that.

Because then you could remember them to fap to?

I don't get it. There's no reason for it. Sorry, but this idea is rather ridiculous. Way too many threads started!

Umm... no really it's not. LIke I said, I've been thinking about it a lot. I've got lots of gameplay ideas behind how it would make things work better obviously, If I just wanted to see naked girls than I would just suggest they put nudity in it but I have genuine ideas that would affect story.

I have seen your posts and topics on this site for a wile now (including your chie cosplay post), and I've realized you really just have a pent up, intensely weird sexual fantasy with Chie of Persona 4, which you are letting out on the internet.  I really don't want to be offensive, but It's so plainly obvious it had to be said.

I mean I think that they would end up doing it tastefully just because they're afraid of backlash but if it weren't for that they could do realistic sex scenes via anime sequences.

I don't think nudity has been used in games in a tasteful way that much. GTA IV's DLC is the only use of nudity that had a  purpose that I saw. It made you uncomfortable like the character and showed how much this man was asserting his dominance over him. Other than that, I can't recall nudity serving a purpose in a videogame.

Yeah, but then the remaining 50% will be enjoying a much more realistic and deep game.

sir, the additions you desire are selfish ones. have you ever taken a moment to consider the people you would harm if your request were fulfilled? that's right. the fine japanese animators who publish persona 4 hentai and yaoi would go bankrupt.

please consider the producers of japanese-based pornography before you ask atlus to take food from their children's mouths.

It's weird that Persona 4 IS rated M for partial nudity. But I don't remember seeing anything.

But I think it's morally wrong cuz you know... these are high school girls.

Well some of them are but some aren't. They could censor the younger students like Ayane and Chie but the Nurse and Young Mother are certainly of age.

If a future persona game was still set in high school, then yeah I sort of see this as a possible point of contention.

Nudity =/= maturity. That is the fatal flaw in your argument. The third game is very mature, yet there is no nudity. Do realize, we're discussing high school students.

Dude this is just stupid. I want to ask one thing though. How old are you?

Seriously adding nudity to any serious game is a bad idea. Look at Mass Effect, hardly any nudity at all and that got tore up by the media. And guess what? I would have enjoyed that game just as much without those scenes in it. It adds nothing to the game and since the people in this game are like 14 years old or something it would be disgusting.

There is only one type of person that would "enjoy the game more" with nudity but I won't describe them because it would probably get me banned.

The whole reason I have yet to play Persona is because there are a bunch of hot anime chicks, but no nudity, so yeah, I'd definately say Persona should have nudity.

There is technically nudity in the game already. Some of the persona's 2D art have frontal nudity.

Also I found it weird there's no nudity in the damn strip club.

All that being said its a good thing there is none.  I think it would be forced and you need to remember THEY ARE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL.

Stop pretending as if you have an intellectual argument to putting nude anime girls in a game.  It's clear by your history of fucked up threads on this site that what you really want is to jerk off to hentai.  Keep it there.

Partial Nudity is for the Personas and Shadow Rise. And no, nudity would not make this game better at all, and it as sure as crap wouldn't make it more "mature". There's a difference between a "Mature" rating and a mature game. I also don't see how nudity would make any game crazier or more controversial. There is porn on the internet, why do you care if there is porn in games?

I guess I'm not really sure what all the backlash against nudity here is. It's cartoon nudity so it wouldn't be illegal. If Helen Mirren were to play the role of the Wendy's girl in a commercial and got naked it wouldn't be illegal. Also, it's just a logical progression of what the game is doing. It seems like Atlus is holding back the nudity just for taste's sake which doesn't necessarily equate to quality.

...why do you even want nudity besides for your own self-pleasure of seeing Japanese high school girls naked? Also, full nudity in Japanese games is illegal.

Also: Joshbra97 is a dead giveaway for either an eleven-year-old troll.

The backlash isn't against your topic as much as it is you, because everyone who has seen more than one of your threads on this site knows that you are rather a sexually pent up loser, or an idiot making up shit because your bored.  Meaning your argument has no merit becaus of you.

You kinda come off as some perv who wants to see high school girls naked.  There is more to a relationship than sex and nudity, and strong relationships are kinda what the Persona games are about.

Nudity can be artistically done in video games. It can be used to symbolize a number of things. Just as nudity can be used in critically acclaimed films, in can be used just as well in video games.

I can't imagine it in Persona 4 though due to the way I've been introduced to the game through Jeff and Vinny. Making it some sort of daily show, and also since the game has a anime-style format, it would be weird to see nudity in it just because I have seen it in any of those mediums before. But if I was to view Persona 4 from a different perspective I think nudity could be effectively used in the game. I mean it's a game about a killer who kidnaps his victims and kills them by making them fight their hidden emotions. If the game took a more gritty approach to the story then I could see nuditiy being used to cause fear in the player.

The reason joshbra's whole argument is pointless is because Persona has arleady been released, played by many and seen to be a game that really doesn't swing that way at all in the story.  The relationships don't ever go anywhere past innocent, and the how those relatioships were set up to work with the games story does not show us anything about Joshbras argument other than that it's a fantasy he created in his head while playing the game.

I am guilty of having a fantasy of Yukiko, but I keep it where it belongs. In my head. lol. But seriously, I don't know about nudity in these games. The part of me that's in my pants says yes, but the *thankfully stronger* part of me that's in my skull says no. Nudity wouldn't make these games more mature. It'll just make the rating an M on the front of the box. The games are fine as is. I mean, I'm not against it if the designers actually find a really good reason for it or something, but it's not needed.
