What about the new sountrack? What is no one finding that? *sobs*
I really want to listen to a clean theme from the Margaret trailer

There's a link out there containing all the new themes. Margaret's theme is fucking hnnng. Blood Red Moon (Minazuki's theme) as well as Adachi's are great as well

Just to clear things up, Sho was the Eerie Voice, and Ikutsuki, who now has a Persona,was the Malevolent Entity? Do I have this right? Or is the Persona the ME and Ikutsuki is just there with him?

Nobody knows for sure right now.

Here are some images I compiled that haven't been posted yet. No context. Click the pictures to link to their respective albums.


I'm guessing the distorted area around the images is to work with different TVs' safe areas, to help with different TVs having different specs. That, or that's just something weird going on with the ripping method.

I was going to do something like that, but I got lazy. So, thanks. Aki and Mitsuru's portraits look so good. Its too bad that their actual fighting sprites don't have those outfits.

lol wtf @ that close up of Nanako's chest in that towel.

Yeah, I don't really have a comment for that.

Man, the illustrations this time around are miles better than the first game.

Also, it looks like Soejima might have actually designed Yukari's and Mitsuru's new outfits?

Mitsuru's still looks terrible, regardless.

Wow, I love that Aigis shot. The game's art is looking really nice so far.

Somebody already ripped the OST.

Do you know the link to that? I checked all over Youtube and can't find it :(. I would really appreciate it if you can PM the link; would love to listen to the soundtrack :D.

Got the PM; thank you :D. Love how it sounds so far :).

I found a Pastebin that is apparently supposed to be the P3 side of Ultimax's story. Its about 300-400k characters long so I don't think its fake, but I haven't read through all of it so I'm not sure.

http://pastebin.com/7ATaAF79

Take it with a grain of salt.

I checked, but there isn't even a partial mention of Chidori, who is referred to in a cutscene from Junpei's trailer. It may be legit, but if it is, it's not complete.
 
>Ahaha! You finally figured it out? Fortunately, the horde of Shadows to create a vessel and the Persona fragments to control it have been gathered. All that's left is to fuse that brat with the Shadows as a base, and then devour the Persona fragments to inhabit my new corporeal form! I pay no heed to others.. I am the collective will of those who abandon all connections and strive to live only for themselves..! I will incinerate everything! I will rob, murder, trample, and cast you humans down into the depths of despair..! My name is Hi-no-Kagutsuchi! One who kills all who live in this world..!


lol brilliant

I'm just ctrl+fing various words for now, the whole thing is a jumbled mess and a more dedicated person could probably separate it into a more coherent form

I'm mostly interested in the Velvet siblings right now so I think I'm going to focus on that

It's definitely incomplete, I doubt that adding the Persona 4 story could fill in all of the gaps I'm finding... it's rather too dedicated to be a fake, but with the things I've seen over the years, idk.

edit: Oh, Sho got the impression that Ikutsuki was his daddy. Or something. Idk.
2: Ikutsuki is defs dead dead, all his appearances are illusions created by Sho to trap the Shadow Ops. It's rather headachey.
3: Whatever, the point is that Sho is definitely the Eerie Voice, he pulls out the remote control again in front of them and uses it to control Labrys

So Ikutsuki is definitely dead, and Kagutsuchi is another god like Nyx/Izanami/Erebus that is brought into exist by the collective will of the people and subsequently gets taken down by the power of friendship.
 
lol tsundere Shadow Labrys


Shadow Labrys: This is more garbage.. Do whatever you want,you idiots.
LabrysT: his place.. What's happened to me?
Shadow Labrys......
Labrys:.You...
Shadow Labrys.sla.I've had enough of this shit I'm not dealing.with it anymore.
Labrys.la.Huh.? You're.. You're giving control of my body.back to me?
Shadow Labrys.sla.Ha! You're the one who likes playing house.
The darkness returns, and she brusquely turns her back to me..Silence fills the area for a moment.. and then I suddenly realize something.She used a Persona a moment ago..It's true that she looked and acted the same as when she was a true Shadow.But I can tell.. She was, I mean, *I* was fighting with the controlled powers of a Persona just now.It may sound the same, but it's different..That wasn't a Shadow running berserk.Because I accepted myself, I was able to attain a Persona..Maybe the same could be said about--.
Labrys.la.You were actually...
Shadow Labrys.sla.....
Labrys.la.You did that.. to help me Thank you...
Shadow Labrys.sla.Shut up! Just take over for me, already! Oh, and...
The other me before me mutters something..I can't hear what she says, but I can tell what it was she wanted to say.Yeah.. Don't worry You're me, and I'm you..You do remember what I feel, huh...She is always sleeping inside of me..Even though she had forcefully taken over my body, I feel a kind of relief.

"Shut up, I didn't do that to help you, just take over our body again, b-baka"

Also Marie's presence is incredibly limited, victory

Sho is a 'Guest' of the Velvet Room, oopsie

What if Adachi is P5 MC? Maybe he gets time of his sentence for working with juvenile delinquents, or something. We'd get a school atmosphere, but playing as an adult. Party members could be class members, and getting to know your kids better would be S. Links. The whole "discontent/slave" motif would be Adachi being a prisoner and the kids overcoming whatever got them into trouble.

Just kidding..?

So apparently this happens. I don't know the full context.
Yu – Narrating
!?
Faster than I can call my Persona, the other Izanagi flies toward Kagutsuchi from behind, slashing at its giant arm and knocking it back.

Yu: Adachi-san!?

Adachi: *sigh* What're you doing? I set everything up perfectly for you, but you still didn't finish it off before I woke up.

Yu – Narrating
The way he scratches his head and rolls his eyes...without a doubt, that's the Adachi-san I know. Did he save me!?
Up until now, he's just dropped hints for us here and there, never doing anything to help us out directly. Seeing me surprised at this small change, noticeable only to those who know him, Adachi-san furrows his brow. He's displeased in an ever-so-slightly embarrassed way.

Adachi: Hey, what're you spacing out for? I don't have time to waste, either, so let's hurry up and put an end to this.

Yu: Right!

Yu – Narrating
I can feel it – the two Izanagis respond to each other and meld into one. I've never felt this fusion of conflicting powers before.

-They eventually coalesce into a sword, which launches itself toward Hi-no-Kagutsuchi's enormous, roaring form.-

Yu: Izanagi!
Adachi: Magatsu-Izanagi!

Yu – Narrating
The giant sword formed with a torrent of power pierces Hi-no-Kagutsuchi and shatters its body into pieces.

Hi-no-Kagutsuchi: Gaaaaaaaaah!

So, apparently, there's a file in the game labeled "P5" something. Is this true?
Nope, that was just bunk from someone impersonating the guy who was actually ripping the assets. Everyone with a brain called him out on it right away, so I don't know how that spread.
 
If a P5 file exists it's doubtful there's anything in it otherwise it would be all over the Internet by now

I've only skimmed, all this being 'freed from the seal' stuff about the P3MC was BS. Anything about P3MC is BS, he ain't a thing. Frankly, Liz isn't even showing up that much, and she's talking nebulously still about the 'journey she must make'.

Also Mitsuru watches Featherman because 'her best friend is one of the stars' omg my heart

The resolution for the P3 characters is really nice, actually, I like it. Just from the ending dialogue, leaving the characters as they are is perfect
(And by that I mean they've all moved on, he's dead, and he ain't never coming back the end. All their epilogues are about their own paths. no time for ruminating on your friend who died two years ago goodbye)

*sigh* I am grasping SO hard at straws right now, but does that mean she hasn't made her journey yet, and it's being saved for something in the future?

Welp.

Yu: If fighting is the only way you can form bonds, then I'll fight you 'til the cows come home! Just don't drag anyone else into this.

Yu – Narrating: Just like that, life returns to Sho's eyes. Along with it, the scar on his forehead and eyes shine a purer, bluish-white, and I can sense the fire of life, much stronger than before, surging through his entire body.

Not only that, but something rises behind him – it's the Persona that Minazuki was using!

So this is Sho's true, unbound strength.

Oh well. Looks like this strategy was a failure. I can't go easy on him at this rate.


Sho: Here goes. Hraaagh!

Margaret: It's over.

Sho Minazuki...To think he'd take so quickly to the Persona passed down from the self born of that Plume of Dusk.

It's been a while since we've had a guest with...that much power.

*chuckle* I presume Sho will be a rather dreadful "underclassman" for him. I truly look forward to what develops of this.

Elizabeth: Ah, so that red-haired young man has reached an...epiphany?

Margaret: Yes.The many encounters he had here have brought about a change within him.

Elizabeth: He'll surely have many more experiences and battles on his journey from here on, as a new guest of the room.

Margaret: Elizabeth, will you not return to us? Theo was worried about you. I believe he had been to this place, as well.
Elizabeth: Oh, did he? I hadn't noticed at all Not even a raindrop's worth. [???]

Margaret: ...I see.

Elizabeth: Well then, it seems the time has come for me to take my leave. Please tell my incompetent brother this: "My journey has just begun!"

Margaret: Elizabeth I sense that you may become a guest of our room someday yourself! *chuckle*

Sho: *gasp* *pant*

Yu – Narrating: That was close – my blood ran cold many times during the battle. I fought with all my might – without holding back at all – but Sho was fast, his slashes were sharp, and he fought like a seasoned warrior.
 
Elizabeth's Journey just beginning=she'll be trying to figure out how to revive Blue Haired Revolver Jesus next time we see her?

If that's the case, I think it's safe to say that he's now in Chidori territory. Left ambiguous so that the headcanon of each player can decide whether they're alive or not.

Yu – Narrating: Sho grabs Adachi-san by his collar and points his sword at the detective. I've bided my time long enough! I was hoping for a better opening, but I rush in now.

Yu: Stop it, Sho!

Yu – Narrating: Sho glares at me while breathing heavily. There's nothing but hate in his stare!

Adachi: Awww...You're early. Way to ruin the moment.

Yu – Narrating: Is Adachi-san safe? I glance to check on him and feel a slight bit of relief. He's hurt badly from the beating he took at the hands of an agitated Sho, but it doesn't seem to be life-threatening.

Adachi: Just to be clear: I didn't do it for you guys. I just wanted to set things right for myself.

Yu: I know. You're not that type of person.

Yu – Narrating: Adachi-san came here to honor his promise in his own way. Finding that out was more than enough for me. The load on my chest that's been there all this time is gone, and I actually feel good now.

Adachi: You're such a know-it-all – it's not very attractive.

Yu – Narrating: With that typical bit of sarcasm, Adachi-san falls unconscious.
Labrys: Yu-kun!

Labrys – Narrating: Had I not come here, everyone in Inaba would've continued leading peaceful lives.

Deep down, I was afraid to learn what he truly thought of me...That was when Ken-kun told me that I should go to him myself and find out how he feels.

He was right...Just seeing the kindness in Yu-kun's eyes right now makes me feel like there's no need for him to say anything.
Is this fan-fiction?

I'm almost certain that everyone does.
Makoto or Minoto always makes me go "huh?" before realizing who they're referring to.
Blue Haired Revolver Jesus, I hear that and I know who it is immediately.

Blue Haired Revolver Jesus, not to be confused with Hippie Revolver Jesus.

The thing is Adachi was The Jester arcana for his social link, which is another name for The Fool. They probably just decided to make it The Fool for simplification reasons.

P4G anime spoilers for episode 7:
In this episode, they show a flashback of Adachi in college blowing off all his chances to make bonds and just being a loner. After Yu beats the living crap out of him, he says "You and me... Ending up so differently, when we have the same power... Why do you think that is? I know... Because you have a bond... that's what you're going to say, right? You make me sick." and then Yu tells him he had a bond with Dojima and himself and says "Let's go back, Adachi." and then Ame No Sagiri shows up, Yu defeats him and takes back an unconscious Adachi. If the Golden anime is going to be considered canon, then it's just implied that Adachi had the potential to become someone like Yu but instead blew that opportunity off and became who he is instead simply because he has no bonds with anyone, despite Dojima and Yu bothering to spend time with him.
 
Lol, most of everything that involves Adachi is fanfictiony. The poor formatting of the Episode Adachi stuff is driving me bonkers, but Dojima visits him in prison at the end and it's all smiles and sunshine. And at the beginning, the detective interrogating Adachi mentions that Dojima grabbed him (the detective) by the collar when he was being disparaging about Adachi.

It's all rather Tohru X Ryotaro tbh
My subordinate to the end~

Honestly, considering how integral Adachi is to the story, it's immensely shady that he's been sequestered as DLC. I thought Episode Adachi would be it and he would be manoeuvring behind the scenes, but no he's right there as a key component of the ending.
