Current Events > Why do they keep the suffixes in the English version of Persona?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Makes no sense, CE-sempai!

Because it's a game engrained in Japanese culture?
---

a lot of it sounds stupid in English IMO
---

The suffixes add absolutely nothing to the English version since we don't use or even understand then unless you're very familiar with Japanese culture and/or a weeb.

They could be removed from the English game completely and nothing would be affected.

i always thought it was funny when you hear the kids complaining about how tough their english classes are while speaking perfect english lol
---

they're Japanese people speaking Japanese language but translated for your convenience.
no reason to remove it, especially when social strata matters a lot in Japanese culture.
if games like FF keeps the suffix, then it is silly.
---

The game is literally situated in Japan. It would be stupid not to keep the suffixes.
---

Cuz it's not hot unless Makoto is calling me kun
---

From what I've seen of it, nothing would be lost. Aren't they all just high school children? The honorifics just make no sense in english - even if it is meant to be a translation, it is almost certainly lost on most people.

Because thats how weebs talk.

senpai means cat
