Haha, Ikutsuki. Well, if you're going to bring a dead character back it's better to bring back one no one gave a shit about than one that's actually important.
And I love those outfits for Mitsuru, Yukari, and Akihiko. They're like... apologies for their terrible normal designs.

I agree with you; the Golden animation make this all the more clear as he really feels happy when with Dojima and Nanako. I think the person he really hates is Yu though; in the animation it looks like Yu just pushes his way into the picture and took Adachi's place and from his perspective, being nice to him was just rubbing salt into the wound. I think he grows to respect Yu a bit after being defeated by Yu and his friends (if that letter at the end of the game is any indication; he talks nicely to Yu outside of calling him a dumbass).
the plot thickens

Cause new designs is hard.
Mitsuru, Yukari, and Akihiko look so much better in their normal outfits. Akihiko in a suit? I've been waiting for this.
So P3MC's soul if finally at rest huh? I'm sad and happy to hear that. He's gone forever now for sure, but he is finally at peace.
I'm not that surprised regarding Ikutsuki's revival, but him being the villain behind the whole thing is pretty underwhelming.
Also, do we know why Sho's eyes and scar glow blue?

That Adachi/Dojima image is really sad

All I've read is that it has to do with the True End of the game. Not sure why it happens though.
Where are people getting this from?

There's honestly a lot more happening here than I thought there would be.
P3 MC gets closure
That long-haired oaf comes back, probably to get axed again
Sho blue eyes white dragon
Adachi doing anything

I think Sho's eyes are glowing blue is due to part of P3 MC being within him; I mean, his eyes are blue and he is a powerful Persona user (which seems to be the case for Sho).
What happened I think was that part of P3 MC's soul was split away due to Elizabeth trying to free him (she is on her own quest to free him, so it would make sense if something she did caused Sho to be created).
The problem, is that the part of P3 MC that formed into Sho might have been the 'Death' part of him (who is to say that 'Death' still isn't inside him?), leaving him in a state of chaotic rampage and bumps into Ikutsuki during his episode. He offers Sho more power or something and they work together to make the world filled with that red fog.
Events of P4A happen and then this game happens with Sho, Shadow Labyris and Ikutsuki causing more trouble to the point of the red fog happening. The main cast comes to stop this and Sho's 'soul' is fixed or something (Elizabeth and Margret are in that scene where his eyes/scar turn blue), making him be a good guy and help out the main cast and/or goes to the Vilevet Room as a new 'guest' or assistant.
Some some guesses I have
.There are no screenshots of some of these events yet, so I guess they're still not confirmed?
I don't see how Adachi's feelings on the matter change anything. He is directly responsible for almost getting Nanako killed and didn't let up on his dumb act in any way shape or form when Dojima and the investigation team tried to retrieve her. His "game" was clearly more important to him than Nanako's life.
A bit weird that Dojima can just laugh that off, honestly.
That is true :l. Just stating the impression I'm getting from the animation; doesn't excuse the acts he does at all but just some reason why he did them I guess (outside of being a prick to most people).

Just noticed that lol
2~ months
Right. It's not that he regrets what he did, but he finally took responsibility for his actions.
does he really? All I got from his letter at the end of P4 was "okay since you guys won, I guess i'll defer to your wishes and become a productive member of society...eventually..I guess".
He didn't really strike me as being very apologetic about what he did. He didn't write about regretting his actions or having the seen the light or whatever.
Of that, only Ikusuki being involved, Yu beating Kagutsuchi, and Rise unlocking her persona in a fight against Elizabeth has been confirmed, unless there's been new developments since last night.

Adachi is still a dickhole anyways, he killed two people!

Even if this story turns out to be utter crap, we'll always have that shot to lift our spirits.

Yeah, Adachi is a dickhole, but he's our dickhole.
I think its okay. If not then RIP.
this image is the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeessst. looks like Soejima drew it to my eyes as well
I don't think it's a Soejima picture. The only one that looks like it could actually be his to me is the Akihiko one, and I'd be willing to bet that even that isn't actually by him.
Kikuno deserves more love.
I agree, but not even the Akihiko one is that close to his style.
It's the line work on the right-hand side that makes me think Soejima, but I could be wrong. He (clearly) didn't draw any of the cgs in P4A after all.
Yeah, I'm worried I'd be saying RIP to everyone who's posted images here. As far as I know, no English-speaker has actually reached this point in the story. It's all one dude ripping assets directly from the .pkg file by downloading it from PSN on a modded PS3 and then putting the game on his computer.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't him, Kikuno's actual portrait art gives her a different facial structure.

I guess with dual audio, we'll have a better understanding of the story in the next few days.
I had to beat the game as Shinji without losing a round to get that footage.
What are everyone's opinions on what's been leaked then? Positive?
I think it's a pretty decent impersonation!

Idk most of this seems pretty fuckin lame so far. Hopefully whatever Makoto thing happens is well done.
Eh, there actually don't seem to be any files related to P3MC in the game, so the bit about his soul finding peace might be fake.

Well, the only noteworthy leak has been Ikutski and I'm not sure on what to think about that. Hopefully he has a bigger role in Ultimax then he had in P3.

Yeah that bit appears to have been bs
Not really. It's like the-plot-of-an-anime-based-on-a-video-games bad, specifically the events with Ikutsuki.
O-oh

Yup. Only thing I found were a couple of icons. Nothing else. RIP Door-kun.

Yeah, I mean, pretty sure something that big would have at the very least its own cg, if not an animated scene. However, Makoto doesn't even have a portrait.

Man, Akihiko in a suit. I'm officially moist. I wish the P3 cast weren't in such dumb outfits and dressed like that. Akihiko boxing in a suit would be awesome.
