I guess we already know this, but this puts the nail in the coffin of a female protagonist?

 

[random25]

Trailer delivered.!Looks to be quite a jump from the last 2 Persona games, which I'm really happy about. You're making me wait so long Atlus!

 

[Sakura]

It's a cool trailer but I'm not really sure how I feel about the phantom thief motif. Not really digging it. Though I will have to see how it is actually handled in game first.

 

[LordBaztion]

Ok, this and bloodborne sold me a PS4, just give the release date.

 

[Trojita]

Nice trailer with a lot of style. I really like the heist feeling. The entire vibe of having a group of thieves, planning heists in a big city, is just something I really like. A bit weird that they have a cat with them though. Graphics aren't particularly impressive, but the style makes it okay.

A cat has to be the mascot of this game. They are cat-burglars!

We had a dog and a stuffed animal bear in the last games. It isn't that weird lol.

 

[Kaako]

Dayumn sons, that was dope as fuck.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

I just noticed the cat used a scimitar in one set of fights, but in that Pyro Jack fight image I put up he has a SLINGSHOT?

My guess would be that you can switch weapons during battle like in Dragon Quest VIII.

 

[duckroll]

I hope the dungeons are still random, but that's the one thing I couldn't quite tell from the footage.

With the platforming traversal and the unique staircase room, I am wondering if maybe the dungeons are more hand designed now. Did any of the new info translated by Shouta/duckroll tell us about that?

They haven't really said anything about the gameplay at all. Maybe there'll be more in the full Famitsu interview, but everything else is just as it is in the trailer. My guess is that it's possible story dungeons are no longer randomized, similar to how stages in Catherine were actually designed, but that they will have a randomized mega-dungeon of sorts which is optional. This is not based on anything I have seen or read, just a guess.

That's for persona 5 (whatever it's called for the rerelease )

 

[Ultimadrago]

Oh you~ lol

 

[AtomskEater]

Kind of hope they have some kind of Dojima reference or cameo, since the characters will likely be on the wrong side of the law.

 

[Newboi]

Welp...here's to another 3 months of my life taken up by Persona...


Dat trailer was BANANAS!!!

 

[Zia]

Its already confirmed 2015 for NA and JP

Oh. Snap.

 

[Sadist]

btw is it coming to the PS3 and PS4? or just one of them?

Both

 

[DataGhost]

My guess would be that you can switch weapons during battle like in Dragon Quest VIII.

I think it's more so that you can use your weapon or gun for an attack like in the older games

 

[F4r0_Atak]

Wow, I would have never noticed that when its the characters turn, it changes its portrait like they are holding their prisoner plate. So cool.

I think its his "long-ranged weapon".

FIXED IT.

I think it's more so that you can use your weapon or gun for an attack like in the older games

Thanks!! I forgot about those...

 

[Dominator]

Only games I've played in the series are Persona 4 Golden and Persona Q (P4 story line).

THIS SHIT LOOKS AMAZING. PLEASE RELEASE THIS YEAR IN THE WEST I BEG OF YOU ATLUS!

Spoiler

Playing on Very Easy to enjoy the story.

 

[Nameless]

I think the graphic quality is lower than Catherine. There is a lot of aliasing in the graphic.

Just watched the trailer. That was the worst trailer I've seen in a long time. It looked stupid as hell.

 

[LX_Theo]

It was a perfect trailer

 

[Captain Smirk]

So this may be my first ever Persona game...how much of my life will I invest in this game?

 

[Trojita]

My guess would be that you can switch weapons during battle like in Dragon Quest VIII.

That or a Melee and Range preset ability. That's how the older games and SMT worked.

 

[Ikon]

P5 just jumped past a whole slew of games I was looking forward to more. This just might be one of maybe 3 day one purchases this year.

 

[mekes]

Fun trailer, its a nice step up visually from P4G. I only put a couple hours in on P4G, this trailer makes me want to dust off my Vita and start over. Love the music too, and that overall it just seems a great change of pace from what we've got on the PS4 so far.

Will buy.

 

[Pappasman]

That trailer was ridiculous. I'm very impressed. I just hope P5 is able to stand up to the rest of the SMT series gameplay-wise, unlike 3&4.

 

[Busaiku]

Kind of hope they have some kind of Dojima reference or cameo, since the characters will likely be on the wrong side of the law.

This is a city, it looks absolutely nothing like Inaba.

 

[darkwing]

So this may be my first ever Persona game...how much of my life will I invest in this game?

most of it

 

[firehawk12]

That's for persona 5 (whatever it's called for the rerelease )

There won't be another Sony handheld for them to port the game to in order to make a Platinum edition!

Oh you~ lol

No, you!!!!!!!

 

[Trago]

Consider me hyped! What's up with that cover mechanic though? Is there gonna be stealth in the game?

 

[F4r0_Atak]

There are actually 9 words, the 7 sins plus cavum and irritum, also if you look at this:

you see that the cat is everywhere. There are bars for every word. Maybe there are nine different types of persona? Nine Social links? Also the cats are in different positions in some of these.

Spoiler

Clearly overthinking, lol

They aren't faceless, they just don't have eyes, also if you look at the menu with the main character you can see the words "Don't look at me like that", clearly the word that the main protagonist represent is "irritum".

Spoiler

Not too sure about what "cavum" means

I wonder if it will have anything to do with the seven sins or the gates of hell. :/

 

[Altima]

Really

Aliasing is real if you are not blind.

 

[Alo81]

This trailer just pushed the PS4 above hte WiiU in my must have list.

Incredible. Great work Atlus.

 

[ChasingComets]

I just noticed the cat used a scimitar in one set of fights, but in that Pyro Jack fight image I put up he has a SLINGSHOT?

Melee/Gun attack options like in SMT4, Strange Journey and P1

 

[RedNumberFive]

That trailer was ridiculous. I'm very impressed. I just hope P5 is able to stand up to the rest of the SMT series gameplay-wise, unlike 3&4.

Persona has always been SMT on training wheels.

 

[convo]

Hot damn were those menu screens hype, so stylish!

Made some quick gifs

Out of fucking control! I loooove how every menu screen has a unique style for everything.

 

[headofbowl]

Just noticed the protagonist and his bro have different colour gloves, characters colour coded by gloves?

 

[F4r0_Atak]

MC - Knife/Handgun
Dude - Pipe/Shotgun
Cat - Sword/Slingshot
Chick - Whip/SMG

The range weapon for the girl is not shown in the trailer.

Edit: But it's in the Famitsu article screenshot!

Could be a ''club'' type weapon. I would guess that pipe is more of a starter/beginning weapon.

 

[Pappasman]

Persona has always been SMT on training wheels.

I know but I would really, really like it not to be haha.

 

[zombipuppy]

Legit goosebumps... I CANNOT WAIT!!!

 

[BiggNife]

Consider me hyped! What's up with that cover mechanic though? Is there gonna be stealth in the game?

Well, it's a game about pulling heists. So I assume there's some sort of punishment for being caught by police.

No one knows any extra info about the gameplay outside of what was shown in the trailer.

 

[Jamix012]

That trailer was ridiculous. I'm very impressed. I just hope P5 is able to stand up to the rest of the SMT series gameplay-wise, unlike 3&4.

Let's not do this shit.

 

[delSai]

The menus have to be some of the best ever.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

No, you!!!!!!!

Well they could do persona 5 fes on ps4 5 years from now!

 

[rhandino]

My guess would be that you can switch weapons during battle like in Dragon Quest VIII.

... in SMT IV (And the older Persona games that nobody, even Atlus, remember) you have Melee weapons and Guns, the Guns are mostly used to inflict status ailments or attack weak spots while the Melee weapons are for regular attacks...

 

[Uthred]

Looks cool, love the phantom thief aesthetic

 

[Nyoro SF]

Holy crap that trailer was amazing. The presentation looks really interesting all around. Digged the music too.

 

[TalonJH]

That cat don't belong:/

Spoiler

...hate speech?

 

[Amir0x]

They haven't really said anything about the gameplay at all. Maybe there'll be more in the full Famitsu interview, but everything else is just as it is in the trailer. My guess is that it's possible story dungeons are no longer randomized, similar to how stages in Catherine were actually designed, but that they will have a randomized mega-dungeon of sorts which is optional. This is not based on anything I have seen or read, just a guess.

Well your guess is a nice idea though, would be a nice trade-off between people who like random dungeons and people who like hand-designed dungeons. Give a little bit of both to each player base.

Will be very interesting to see how far they go with hand designed dungeons. Will there be puzzles in these dungeons if they are? Exciting times ahead

Melee/Gun attack options like in SMT4, Strange Journey and P1

Yup someone confirmed that to me earlier, very excited to hear that.

 

[Steroyd]

Just watched the trailer. That was the worst trailer I've seen in a long time. It looked stupid as hell.

I know opinions and all, but given the one way traffic of opinion in this thread, you're going to have to be alot more in depth on why you think this than that.

 

[freeofgreed]

OMFG that was amazing. Everything I'd had hoped for and more. Thank you based Atlus! Jesus I can't even remember the last time I was this excited for a game. That's how you do a fucking trailer/reveal!
