    Conflicting Concepts? Hermaphrodite?

    This is a joke, right? The lead protagonist is a male...

    @Asurastrike: @Bones8677: Thats along the lines I was thinking...I haven't played the game, so I don't know who you play as.  But somebody placed those in there, and had them approved.  By definition of the two concepts being in the same game, the lead character must be a hermaphrodite... 
     
    Maybe I should've put this into the bugs forum...

    @Matthew: What the hell?  First off, there's no choosing the gender of your character in Persona 4.  Second off, do you think that Atlus would really be that stupid to have everything exactly the same for a male if you play as a female?  P3P will have a gender choice, and the dialogue and events will change accordingly.

    " P3P is the first Persona game (maybe MegaTen as well?) to include a gender choice, or maybe even a female protagonist period. "

    Persona 4 would be pretty awkward if you were a female protagonist.  Kanji is into dudes and Teddie is... well, Teddie.  That means you are stuck with either Yosuke, or getting a few shooters into Chie.

    Naoto could be a good bet. It could give a nice twist to her story arc, given the nature of the way the MC could help with her problems.

    Also, great topic.

    @Ghostiet: Yea, it came from just browsing around and seeing what concepts and such go into a game.  These were just two conflicting topics, like the title reads.   
    @gakon5: Yep.  I made a report in the combine/delete thread, and it has since been taken care of.  Thats why you're not seeing it.  Thats why these mods are at the top of their game!
