Catherine with a 3?

I'm so glad I waited to show this game to my girlfriend. This definitely looks worth the wait. Gonna bust out my massively oversized boxers to wear for this one.

Same trailer but they swapped out the controversial stinger for new, safer footage. As I suspected.

I love Catherine but idk if it's just a bad trailer but this new version looks way more focused on sexuality than horror. Not really liking what I see tbh.

Elaboration please? What was the stinger in the first one?

Was the first game marketed as horror? Pretty sure the main theme always revolved around elements of sexuality and relationships. Hell the marketing campaign was asking couples if they want to get married and their thoughts on it.

Yeaaaah more innuendos about a teenage-looking character's organs !
Can't wait to see if it's just bad taste or really transphobic.

(P-S : I really liked Catherine, but I'm super afraid of what representation this is gonna give to the LGBT once more)

I don't trust Atlus with this topic if it's the topic i think it is.

A much younger Atlus, sure.

But current Atlus?

Am I a weirdo if the biggest reason I'm anticipating this is so that I can play a non-messed-up, beatable version of Axis Mundi?

(I didn't import)

edit: oh jeez someone actually did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCnrylaLUXM

For context, the final bonus stage was bugged in the US version with the bottom falling off at a far more rapid pace than intended. This was never patched. The video above is way beyond what I expected to be possible.

First game definitely focused on the supernatural elements as much as the sexual, if not more

Also consider this. That has to be a boy, because the only other alternative is that he falls in love with a loli.

So have this shota ass looking dude.

I really enjoyed original Catherine because it was about people in their 30s and adult issues. Not here for this infantile looking girl added to the mix.

edit: fuck spoilers

If they really wanted to use a trans character, they should have used the waitress from the first game, I liked her design more than the new lead

I mean the fact that they advertise Rin(we can probably expect art of Persona Ren dressed as them BTW) as a love interest would suggest that there's probably an ending where you end up with them.

So if Rin is trans then improvement?

ATLUS has demonstrated that they aren't able to handle LGBTQ issues respectfully.

In fact, I have a feeling that they will handle this with the opposite of respect.

It's Japan, they don't have too much respect for the LGBT community, not saying they ''disrespect'' the LBGT community, I'm just saying they don't have too much respect.

Sailor Moon had respectful queer and trans characters back in the 90s. I think this is on ATLUS more than anything.
