@cerberus3dog: When I'm actually playing, I kind of get used to some of the awkward phrasing, though it's definitely stood out at times. I did find Ann's "Are you really a bad person as the rumor says?" line pretty clunky, especially as the opening to her character trailer. As someone who doesn't speak Japanese, a lot of this is pretty unknowable, but I guess I'm most concerned with complaints about the translation losing a character's "voice". If characters are really losing personality in the localization, that's a pretty big bummer. I think at one point Yusuke refers to someone as "that guy" or something, and it's weird and un-Yusuke-like, and I'm wondering how much care was actually given to the characters themselves when translating the game. I like the characters a lot! I just wonder if I'd like them more if I spoke Japanese.

@viking_funeral: I was with you, but it speeds WAY up after a certain point.

@frostyryan: I fucked up Takemi's thing too!! You really can't be coy about it, huh?

Yeah, that's fair! Do whatever makes you not feel skeevy.

I'm not gonna sit here and say a teacher/student relationship isn't wildly inappropriate, but there's a world of difference between Kawakami's situation and Kamoshida's. Consent, for example. Remember that the rumor at the beginning of the game was that Kamoshida and Ann were "seeing each other" and that was just treated as a piece of gossip.

Well, it's revealed to the teacher (whatever her name was) but I feel like it was obvious to the player long before that. The original release of 3 didn't even have the bonus S-Link scenes on the last day of school.

But 3 also had the MMO S-Link, which was the greatest thing ever.

Man, everyone here is so monogamous, I feel like a real scumbag. I just like seeing how they handle the romances, okay?? ... Anyway, I'd probably go for Kawakami.

@whatshisface: God help me, I think it might be Kawakami.

@dinosaurcanada: She's absolutely the mom of the group.
