Ah, 2011.

Don’t expect Persona 5 anytime soon. Hashino warned of a lengthy wait until the game is released.

And now we are here. Glad to be living.

 

[raven777]

I don't think it's running on Gamebryo...

I remember their interview from long time ago where they said they were creating a new engine for Persona 5..

 

[michaelius]

Developer 1: We need a cute mascot. How about a cat?
Developer 2: Ugh, that is so obvious and pandering. Can we PLEASE do something else?
Developer 1: Ok well we did dog and bear...
Developer 2: God... it's going to be a cat isn't it...

Think positively - they could have made 9 tailed fox

 

[shinobi602]

Looks great, this will be my first Persona game.

 

[Kane1345]

Frothing at the mouth. Shivers whilst watching the trailer.

Need it.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I just waked up and this is what it greets me. What an amazing day this is going to be.

 

[Binabik15]

A sexy blonde, good graphics, sick art and a CAT COMPANION?!


Right into my median cubital vein, please.

 

[kurahador]

Judging purely from Reactions, Game of the year would be split between Bloodborne vs MGSV vs Persona 5 vs Xenoblade X. @_@

If everything goes well, 2015 is in the running for best year of the decade?

FTFY

 

[Steel]

I'm not a fan of the direction the Persona series tookk, but that fucking TRAILER was OUT of this FUCKING world.

Holy fuck, if they gave us proper dungeons, I'm ALREADY DEAD.

I'm already talking to a dead person then. If you didn't notice in the trailer, my good zombie, the dungeon footage they showed didn't look random generated.

 

[Palculator]

Looks great, this will be my first Persona game.

You're going to enjoy it! P4/3 are still recommended if you want to get a preview of how awesome this series is.

 

[Shockhog]

Trailer has left me utterly speechless. This game exudes style and I want it NOW!

 

[Y2Kev]

Hashino's comments in the short preview of the Famitsu interview makes it pretty clear where the game is going thematically I think. It's what a lot of people expected after the original tease when it was revealed. With Persona 5 he's interesting in a game about people challenging the status quo instead of just accepting social values and traditions as the way they are. A major focus in the game seems to be about there being a bad side to society, and delinquent highschool students will rise up against the things which are holding them down.



Y2Kev why don't you let me take some of your spirit? Just a bit?

Yes/No

Looks perfect.

Like, actually perfect. When can I have it, Atlus?

Still better than a rabbit with every-bunny jokes.

 

[bobeth]

Fuuuuuuuuuuck, this looks fantastic! Also there's a cat, so GOTY right there..

 

[UrbanRats]

I'm not even a Persona fan (saw my brother play 3 and 4 here and there, but never cared) and this still looks great to me.
I like the visual style and character design a lot.

Spoiler

Still probably not gonna play it, as the dungeon parts in 3 and 4 weren't my cup of tea.

 

[Chrono Helix]

........ And now I demand that the US release has Japanese audio. Lulu is best protag, persona Lulu is super best protag.

Wakamoto voicing the last boss? Yes please!

 

[_Ryo_]

It's AMAZING.

It looks so good.
It looks so good.
It looks SO GOOD.
IT LOOKS SO GOOD.

 

[RPGCrazied]

And both are on PSN! I have the real discs though.

 

[threelights]

If the dungeons are as great as the rest of the game...

Is...

Is this game perfect? =O

 

[Arsenic13]

A spectacular reveal. I can't wait. Glad to see that Catherine's visual style was sorta of a test to this. I really like what they've got going. I'll def get a PS4 alongside this game (assuming no whispers of a PC version comes up).


And forget the waifus. Where the husbando support?

They were very random and RNG based but I genuinely enjoyed the dialogue in every single SMT game I played.

 

[KeRaSh]

Yep. The persona stories really do not relate to each other that much. Of course there are some minor references to the former persona games. If you have a chance, you should play Persona 3 FES or Persona 4.

Great! Thanks for the comment. Now I'm even more hyped about this!

 

[Astarte]

Yo
Yoooo
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Valkyri von Thanatos]

She's actually annoying as all hell, and purposely takes on a weird accent.

Well, opinions and all. Interesting that she is somewhat divisive.

Ah, 2011.

And now we are here. Glad to be living.

Good thing I skipped most of the waiting game by becoming a fan last year.

FTFY

No FFXV?

lol.

 

[GamingBird]

rewatching the 1:13 part makes me wonder again

we don't really actually SEE the characters up close during convos. like we see the 3d models yea, but this isn't like catherine where we ZOOM UP to their faces and have some sort of dynamic convo

this is exactly like p3 p4 where we see the big picture, and the the XRD 3d or the portrait cut ins actually show the face of characters - sometimes you only see their eyes, thats a bit… disappointing…

no text box during dialogue? wait what..?

 

[duckroll]

Hey Duck does it say whether or not that footage was from the PS4 or PS3 version. It looked super clean so I am guessing PS4.

No, it doesn't. But honestly, this being a Japanese cross-gen game, I would expect both to look kinda similar, with the PS4 version having 1080p, better AA, and maybe 60fps.

Those were easily the worst parts of those games, but from the trailer it looks like they're at least improving the dungeons themselves. Hopefully they do the same for the battle system.

 

[D-Man]

Man, I was absolutely blown away by the trailer. The graphics, the music, the style, I loved EVERYTHING about it! I initially thought Glasses-kun was kind of a loser, but boy am I wrong. Dude is freakin' badass.

I also absolutely love the new presentation for the All-Out Attacks. It's awesome and everybody looks so mischievous in their portraits.

 

[lukeskymac]

Remember when Phil Fish said that interfaces in Japanese UIs look bad?

This is incredible.

Well, he's still not wrong about most of them...

 

[Palculator]

And both are on PSN! I have the real discs though.

He sold his PS3...

 

[Ourobolus]

Seriously. I was poised to have an absolutely awful day, and this has completly 180'd it. I need this game now.

 

[artsi]

If Persona 5 is released this summer I'm not even mad if I get laid out from my job. Work can wait until world is saved and compendium is 100% full.

Why do people want this feature back?

 

[Lyonaz]

Oh my gawd!! So fucking good, hook it to my veins please!.

 

[RPGCrazied]

He sold his PS3...

Well, if he has a decent PC, he could just buy the retail discs and use the emulator. They are still cheap on Amazon.

 

[duckroll]

Why do people want this feature back?

You don't want to hug duckroll...?

 

[OsirisBlack]

Having never played any of the other persona games I must ask Is it like the telltell games? looks like an anime in which you move the story along. I'm interested just have no idea what the gameplay is like any other comparable games?

 

[artsi]

Why do people want this feature back?

I don't know, personally I hate it.

 

[Kagari]

Wow. The MC is super stylish. Atlus really blew away my expectations here.

 

[JNA]

No, it doesn't. But honestly, this being a Japanese cross-gen game, I would expect both to look kinda similar, with the PS4 version having 1080p, better AA, and maybe 60fps.

That would be incredible. I don't epactually expect it but man...

 

[Logash]

I will be preordering the most expensive CE available for the game. I was unlucky enough to start getting into Persona after 3 and 4 already released but with 5, I am going all out.

 

[Kinsei]

The story plays a large part however the game is a turn based RPG.

Naw, it's a full-fledged RPG set in modern Japan mixed with a bit of dating sim elements.

It's very unique though. P3 and particularly 4 are widely regarded as the best JRPGs of the past era.

 

[bakedpony]

Finally after 7 years! My only worry is not being able to complete the compendium without buying a lot of dlc personas.

 

[paradox121]

Damn good trailer. So few games ooze style like the Persona series. Cannot wait to get my grubby mitts all over it.

 

[benicillin]

All aboard the god damn hype train.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

That looked so awesome.
I can't believe how great the visual style is. Its so much better than I expected.
