    I'm not sure if anyone here has heard about this yet, but SakuraComplex.com is reporting that there is an implied sexual intimacy scene in Persona 3 Portable if you choose to play as the new female protagonist.  
     

    Not safe for work link:

    Persona 3 Portable Gets Sex Scene 
     
    Now before anyone gets their either uptight or excited, what apparently transpires is the female character is given the option to spend the night with Shinji.  The screen fades to black and the characters spend a long time together.  Maybe it's nothing, but I know that in the old days of film directors used to use the same technique to imply something stronger than what the censors would allow continued off camera.  
     
    I'm not saying it's anything earth-shattering, I just found the way it was handled unique.  Who knows if it will make it into the Western release, though.

     @luce:  That's probably why he says it's a "NSFW" link. :/

    it's a good technique. It helps imply that a relationship is that much more deeper, but it doesn't force us to watch other people having sex, we experience that enough as people already (some more than others).

    There were already very similar scenes in P3, the Rank 10 with some of the girls.
     
    Don't forget Christmas in P4 either.

    Sorry if the link offended you.  But, for future reference, " NSFW" or as I spelled it out above "Not Safe For Work" is a general warning that what follows contains material that may be found objectionable by some.  It's supposed to let people who are at work know that they probably shouldn't click on a link labeled "NSFW" since they are likely being monitored by their employers.  Visiting questionable websites on work computers can sometimes get you fired.

    people see link and click it right away sometimes. it aint your fault. 
    Anyway its nothing new, this happens in the other persona games too and the fact that theres even an article on that website is still pretty foolish.

    Yeah, Persona 3 had all sorts of fade to black moments where you could imply at least something went down (considering how uptight most of the characters are, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just handholding).
     
    But Shinji? That guy is so badass he probably ties you up first. There'd be no implications there. I wonder if you can change the course of certain story events if you're a female character, though? Again, my choice to learn French over Japanese is absolutely killing me.

    Heh I'm not surprised though limiting it just to shinji seems well limited. The male protagonist already had something similar with the ladies. Also, the game already had implied sex in it. Anyone else remember the hotel level?
