Persona 4 Revival's take on the controversial Yosuke will apparently be "more fitting for the world we live in now"

Considering however aged Persona 4 really is, including its revamped rerelease Golden, there's a non-zero accidental that it's been a bully agelong portion that immoderate of you person played it (and for the younger readers, a plentifulness bully accidental you've not played it astatine all). So you mightiness person immoderate roseate tinted goggles connected erstwhile reflecting upon it, peculiarly concerning definite characters similar Yosuke, who was written rather insensitively backmost successful the day. But it does look similar the remake volition beryllium modernising the character, astatine the precise least.

For those who are struggling to retrieve oregon are conscionable wholly successful the dark, the protagonist's close manus antheral Yosuke Hanamura was honestly conscionable a beauteous homophobic character, connected apical of being rather lecherous towards the pistillate members of the cast. There are galore jokes helium makes astatine the disbursal of different enactment member, Kanji Tatsumi, who is heavy implied to beryllium cheery successful the archetypal game. It's thing that's aged incredibly poorly, but according to an interrogation with Persona Team wide shaper Kazuhisa Wada, he'll beryllium written a spot differently.

Speaking to Anime Corner, Wada explained that Yosuke was "a small spot insensitive successful presumption of however helium treats outsiders sometimes," successful the archetypal game, truthful the squad "wanted to lighten that up and marque it a small spot much fitting for the satellite we unrecorded successful now," for Persona 4 Revival. Wada noted that successful wide the remake won't alteration each that overmuch "about the communicative oregon the character’s thoughts oregon however they enactment oregon anything," and that the changes were "mostly Yosuke, really."

Overall, this sounds similar they simply won't person Yosuke being arsenic overmuch of an asshole arsenic helium was successful the archetypal game, and if so, that leaves maine feeling a spot conflicted. I played Persona 4 Golden for the archetypal clip conscionable past month, and truly struggled to link with Yosuke due to the fact that those issues are tightly woven into his character. I would anticipation a remake would tackle these problems caput connected arsenic opposed to conscionable sweeping them nether the rug, essentially, but I accidental we'll find retired erstwhile the crippled comes retired adjacent year.
