I'm curious to see whether they keep the character portraits. I know they were mainly there because showing expressions and emotions with P3/4's graphical style was difficult, but I've become attached to them after all this time. It'll feel off if they're gone, even with HD character models.

They've said that P5 is using the catherine engine, but I imagine the character portraits will be there.

Completely agree, it won't feel like Persona without them D:

I don't care how good the game looks, leave them, please.

That makes her all the more adorable.

Also, regarding Rise.
She fits a certain famous stereotype. The one that always clings to the main character, constantly sending love waves but without success. In our westerner eyes, she looks like a slut when in reality she's everything but that. Please understand.

Yeah that's a great point. There is still so much we don't know about the new engine. I mean, the possibilities are endless. I definitely agree that the portraits have become ingrained in how I think about these games. I'm still excited at the possibility of them opening up the S Link stuff a bit more (ie. it being more complex/fleshed out).
On thing I really hope they include is people acknowledging your social links/relationships (if they're still in) with other characters. P4G did this at one point by bringing up who you went to one of the festivals with, but having Rise dry humping you for the entire game while the waifu of your choice doesn't even flinch was really off-putting.

When you first meet Rise and she's very apathetic and tired she is the best girl, and then she completely shifts into an idol and gets really boring. There's an alternate reality where bored Rise is best girl.
 
Awesome


I was holding on to my PS3 but I'd really prefer to play it on my PS4.... just has a better UI and ease of use

still keeping my PS3 till the end though ;)

Looked it up. Yeah you are right. Its going to be a new engine.

http://www.gameguyz.com/news/game/persona-5-won-t-use-catherine’s-engine.html

What I thought was just peoples speculations since Catherine was the persona teams first PS3/360 game.

Speaking of... do you guys thing P5 is going to xbone/360 as well? Like how KH3 and FF15 is not sony exclusive?

In Japan it's definitely PS exclusive.

They miiiiiiiiight do a 360/Xbone release for the west ala the Persona 4 Arena games, but I doubt it.

Rise is a timid girl who is a go-getter on the outside

Yukiko is a go-getter who is a timid girl on the outside

They should be my OTP.

Possibly for the west considering the PS4/Xbone just need any games at the moment but I don't think it's likely. We'll have to see what Atlus USA decide.

Yukiko is ultimate "please your parents" girl.

Chie would probably spill wine all over your parents before somehow lighting the dining room on fire. Yosuke's folks will love her

Very true.

Yukiko has that "motherly" like attribute that would make any boy's mother fall in love with her as a daughter, and then tell their son "she's a keeper son. Don't you dare let her get away!"

...and I would say "I won't Mom! :D"

Because this "X is my waifu" shit is a huge turn-off.

In all seriousness yes the Persona games are fantastic. It's not all waifus.

Its a game, but who's your waifu is essentially the same as "who did you bang" in Mass Effect.

Social Links and relationships are a big part of those games.

Everyone gets mad that I banged Miranda and not Tali.
