Well 2. I gotta tell you, what he says about feeling this heat in him and everything after that is not from this scene. its an edit. It isn't real. So the this you're talking about is fan-edit, rather than actually unused stuff. (EDIT: Read further down the chain, I do not believe this anymore.)

@@Stargun-vj1uh If that makes you feel better

@@Stargun-vj1uh It's not a fan edit. This was actually within the game files and there is absolutely no way to fake these lines so I'm not sure where the hell you got the idea from that this was fake.

@@Stargun-vj1uh Even if we assumed the "heat" like was fake, the rest of it wasn't, in Japanese dialogue the way it's said is usually said in a romantic way

They did WHAT to Ryuji!?

Atlus had a lot of chances to take bold risks with these games but they're just too cowardly.

It would make his slightly offensive remarks on Kanji make more sense and make him a better character, at least more than the Inaba is a small town thing he had. It would also remove the poor taste he left in some people's mouths due to his remarks.

@@df0rdeath58 I think they were more than just slightly hurtful.

@@Conchobhar Yeah they were downright cruel and bordered homophobic. But I guess that do be how gay people were treated at the time. The game came out in like 2008 when there was less acceptance.

@@df0rdeath58 It's cool to have a homophobic character in your video game if you do something meaningful with him. Atlus did not. It's become a pattern, where they broach uncomfortable topics and then turn out to not have anything interesting to say about those topics. P5 was the most disappointing.

First: that’s what she said Second: I agree

Is that why he always tried to get girls all the time

@@user-ok8yq6nc6x You can like both my dude.

J It’s not uncommon for a closet homosexual to go after girls to hide the fact they are gay. It’s possible he wanted to have a gf so badly so people wouldn’t think he was gay. His homophobia towards Kanji also is a red flag lol

@@Crystal_Star07 I don't think he would have been so torn up about Saki if he was purely gay. I ascribe to him being bi (or at least bi-curious), personally.

If someone made a fanmade revamped version of this, they should make an option for you to date Yosuke or Kanji ;-;

Stuckgoat There’s a fan made game called Persona 4 New Days, which basically lets you do that. Try searching it up on KZfaq

@@KM-mu7uy well we can blame Hashino for it now. Since it seems every project he's a part of has some sorta bigotry in it when he directs or leads it. Atlus even hired a nonbinary actor so i really can only blame Hashino

*THANK YOU*

@moomin I saw it somewhere before, but it's just a part of a long video that I can't remember the title. It's pretty much the same thing, but "I like you" is translated as "daisuki dayo" which while translates as I like you, is the standard word for affection and confession in Japanese.

@moomin I already responded to someone else, but I did find the original folder I had at the time of the uncut lines and the Japanese lines are in there too. Hopefully I can make a version like this for the Japanese lines sometime

also the hug option seems pretty sussy

Not me replying to a 2y old comment 😝😜 Anyway, in the video you posted with the Japanese voice actor, at the end he says: 俺、お前が好きだ。(Ore, omae ga suki da. I… like you.) This is definitely a confession for anyone in denial, because despite what anime might show and say, お前 (omae) actually can be used to refer to a loved one such as your significant other. Obviously 好きだ means to like, and using omae really emphasizes that this isn’t just a, “I like you as a friend,” talk. Anyone who tries to say it’s fake or mistranslated can go look up a quick video about confessions in Japanese 😅

Me too

COUPLE OF DUDES BEING GUYS

I mean if we had a female yu named mi we could have gotten it

There's a mod for the PC ver with a romance route for Yosuke! I think (hope) it uses these lines 😳

The Fluff Same

ME TOO FR

First off before I say anything on it, the I like you and Don't make me say something so embarrassing doesn't come from this scene, it was added to it just because I guess. And like you said, it kept the stuff he did earlier in the game ambiguous to his orientation, which is kinda the point to some degree, because of how he acts. Also, even if he is bi or whatever, doesn't make him dateable, he may be too insecure to want to go out with you, especially seeing how he acts when faced with kanji's gayness. If he can't deal with that, I highly doubt he'll try anything himself either. I honestly think it's better this way, because instead of his treatment of Kanji being hypocritical and kinda ironic, it's still used for comedy instead, and doesn't have to solidify anything. To me a good gay/bi character is literally Kanji, he isn't dateable because he doesn't care to or want to, and he just realized his sexuality doesn't matter much at all.

@@Stargun-vj1uh the big difference is that it would give him a good development, realizing that he is bi and leaving his homophobia behind to be happy with a guy, at least i think he would have gotten that kind of development, but i think it was maybe too much like Kanji's.

@@gmobanana7814 I agree, having him as a dateable option would have made his homophobia much less douchey and honestly could have been such a cute route.

Gosh dang it atlus let me be gay

Financial problems were the reason it was scrapped.

Can you guys boost this so people know it was recorded in both English AND Japanese

More like a re-re-release since Persona 4 Golden is already a thing.

I don't. I don't think he actually is gay, I think he's just not secure on his sexuality, and even if he is bi, I don't see him able to date guys, due to his interactions with Kanji showing how insecure he is and uncomfortable he acts.

@@chrisjackson6149 Persona 4 diamond, or persona 4 golden deluxe lol

@@Stargun-vj1uh Honestly I don't think the idea of Yosuke liking Yu is too far fetched. A lot of gay people actually do experience some level of internalized homophobia when they first start coming to terms with themselves, it would help explain his interactions with Kanji. Honestly, Yosuke liking men would be better for his character development because it would transform him from a homophobe to someone whos still just struggling to face who they are.

+MintyCoolness That was....kinda why Persona 2: Innocent Sin was NEVER RELEASED here until they gave us it on the PSP. XD Well, that and Hitler.

+Quil63 and the Nazi symbols

+MintyCoolness Cause Atlus cares zilch about character development - the guy who was homophobic suddenly being Yusexual? Please.

well it happens like that. it's like a defense mechanism. sometimes people think, or say from tooth to outside that something is not right at all, yet like it. So yosuke could be all the "hell no" to homosexuality he wants, but for me it makes him suspicious the most. plus, having yu as best bro and also not becoming yusexual? utopy. (?)

Doña Lilmeliz Yosuke is totally Yusexual. He praises his 'partner' way too much to be fully straight. his cut out confession scene doesn't make him gay: he still likes girls but he also likes Yu so Yusexual.

No, how dare they try to pander to the audience without making a real representation of a real relationship. Also, this scene is edited.

Hanako should've been one of the TV Victims, not Yosuke's senpai. Heck, I'd take King Moron over her.

@@SpideyfanX Was I the only one, who was sad about king moron? I liked not taking him seriously. I just hated the next teacher.

@@nerdineverythingnerdinnoth4984 Agreed. King Moron at least cared about his students on the inside. But if Hanako died instead, and it would've been MUCH better.

@@SpideyfanX I think King Moron need a therapy session if he's so grumpy.

you guy's are losers.

QuickWayToTheRapture I think it was because it wasn't finished in time not because they didn't want to add it lol

if it really wasnt finished they just could’ve added it to P4G the higherups of atlus probably said “no, thats gay” and didn’t let the yousuke route make it into the game

If I remember correctly it was implemented originally but cut because it made beta testers uncomfortable.

One thing about it though is, why add something just to pander to the audience rather than focus on the character's mindset more? Yosuke could easily be gay or bi, and I think it's canon that he's at least partially bi, but I don't see him dating. He acts the way he does around Kanji for a reason, and if he'll act like that toward him, do you honestly think he's secure enough about his own feelings to go after that? I don't think so. I think even he finds it weird. It isn't just about not letting people stumble on it, that doesn't matter, it's about if the character even is dateable, because yeah, the girls want relationships, does that mean the guys do too? No. If you want real gay characters, making them only sometimes dateable is the way to go, because honestly, alot aren't. Alot really aren't comfortable even with themselves on it, aren't confident in it, or just only delude themselves into thinking they are gay or bi, rather than actually being it. To me, I'd love a persona gay option where eventually he just decides it isn't for him, because that's the reality of this. Not everyone is, and people need to see that in video games, that not every game with dateable characters should always include a guy in the roster for that.

@@Stargun-vj1uh As a bi nonbinary person myself, you are very incorrect. The majority of queer people just want to live their life without hate, and those that do repress it usually do so because it's not safe for them to come out or they're convinced that it's wrong or immoral. A story where a gay character starts to open up but then closes back up again is not very inspiring or tasteful in the current climate. The real problem with Yusuke's whole thing is that they had a really great opportunity for character growth by showing him moving past his insecurity and learning to accept himself. I'll agree that that doesn't necessarily have to happen because of the magical power of gay romance, but since many queer people face romantic loneliness due to there being just not as many gay/bi people as there are straight people and therefore less people to date, him ending up with someone he loves would be empowering. Though of course then he'd face the problem many bi characters have of being reduced to "just gay" or "just straight" depending on who they end up with. But that's another discussion entirely.
