![]() ![]() In the True Lawful ending of Catherine Classic, Vincent and Katherine end up getting married at the Stray Sheep bar. Toby is much younger than the other three, and has his heart set on the redhead waitress at their favorite bar, Erica, who went to school with Jonny, Orlando, and Toby.Įrica is a trans woman. Orlando is a cynical player who went through a messy divorce and thinks marriage is bad. Jonny is a cynical man who had a crush on Katherine in school but now feels he’s uninterested in relationships. None are especially given much development, but it’s worth noting their character archetypes. Joining Vincent on his journey are his (dirtbag) friends Jonny, Orlando, and Toby. Vincent, afraid of commitment, ends up falling into a tryst with a blonde girl named…Catherine. Katherine, you see, is ready to tie the knot but wants Vincent to propose. In Catherine, you assume the role of protagonist Vincent Brooks, a software engineer who has been dating his longtime girlfriend Katherine for many years. Persona 5 inserts a pair of unnamed effeminate male NPCs to chase and harass one of the male party members in the hopes that the audience will laugh.Ĭatherine Classic features another clear look at how the writers and project leaders view trans people. I could write 4,000 words just on the portrayal of Kanji as definitely not a gay character who is portrayed with incredibly dated queer male stereotypes, while party members get grossed out and mock him about it for the duration of the game. In Persona 4, despite the localization team at Atlus USA’s best efforts, there are many frustrating struggles with the sexuality of party member Kanji Tatsumi, as well as the gender identity of detective Naoto Shirogane. Persona 3 includes a random throwaway (yet unskippable) interaction with a trans woman who is portrayed as a predator to the unwitting and ‘victimized’ male protagonists. Games directed by and produced by Hashino-san, the new studio lead of Atlus’ Studio Zero, have had many problems with LGBTQIA+ representation.
