Atlus’ latest update for Persona 5 Royal, Update 1.02, dropped yesterday on the PlayStation 4. The update saw minor changes and fixes to the game, including remedying audio issues, fixing typos, and cleaning up overall performance problems. For the most part, the changes were minor; and in the official patch notes from Atlus, it appeared that nothing major had been changed to the game.
However, some eagle-eyed fans have discovered that one very random line of dialogue has been considerably altered.
The “small potatoes” line is gone; it has since been replaced with a new dialogue option that reads: “This isn’t ’trivial’!”
Reactions to the new line have been mixed so far. Many have commented that the new line holds essentially the same meaning as the original “small potatoes” dialogue; and that the inclusion of an exclamation point after “trivial” demonstrates Joker’s heightened emotion during this tense scene.
However, there are others who had grown fond of the idiom and are now disappointed that it can no longer be found anywhere in the game.
