art direction looks hnnnggggg, lol at the 2 identical models almost side by side at the end of the gif.

That's why I find this studio superbly talented, their games aren't groundbreaking tech-wise. but the art direction of their games is so good that it more than makes up for it.

And Persona games ever since 3 had awesome UI designs, it's nothing new :P
 
maybe I'm reading it wrong but if it's 「杏」 you read that 「あんず」"Anzu"

Some possible other names. f stands for female given name. No idea on what would be the most common or if certain names would only be part of a compound.
 
First thing I thought when I saw the masked heroes
was Philemon. Maybe he'll have a more important role this time ?

Also, I'm surprised at Igor appearing at all. With his VA's death and his absence from PQ, I'd thought they would find a replacement. Or maybe we'll just deal with the twin prison guards.
 
I'm assuming social links are just renamed cooperation in this trailer, and even that might change for the localisation, rather than them removing the feature that for a lot of people is what makes Persona worth playing. I ain't playing this shit for randomly generated dungeons, folks.
 
I think the FFXV hype will get real if/when we see more Versus elements and Accordo and Lucis.

I said in the other thread, but the difference is that I can put blind faith into Atlus and expect a great game already. The opposite is true for SE.

I think P5 seems only bigger now because well....15 has had a lot of news about it over the past months and so it's not "new".

Crazy.
 
Nitpick: you see the MC teleporting from cover to cover, then you see the group running through a building that's collapsing. Why not teleport? I'm guessing you get that ability after that scene.

They aren't identical. One is using a mask. :P

It's not a school or a train station. Bottom right says it's underground mall in Shibuya

Oh, ok, thanks for the correction.

For some reason I always expect a train station in Persona games. lol

Social Links is an Atlus USA translation, in the JPN version of P3 they were called COMMU I think, don't remember what they were called in P4. Could be the same thing with Persona 5.
 
One of them is actually coming out before I turn 30 anyway.

Let's hope they deliver and it doesn't end up disappointing D: XIII also looked gorgeous and the best ever in trailers.

Now you know that I belong to the group that enjoyed the XIII trilogy, but the first one certainly disappointed me on my first playthrough.

This is Atlus' first HD RPG, right? It might be too much for them.

And FFXV taking years and no sign of a solid release date has slowly made me a bitter FF fan and less excited :(

I'm not talking about "bigger" and dunno why you're assuming that. I love both series and Versus obviously has different stakes on it.

I'm just talking about expectations and anticipations for the game for myself and other dedicated fans and nothing else.

Obviously FFXV matters more to the mainstream.

It's more because Atlus has a great recent track record as opposed to Square.

Exactly. And this is also exactly what I said.
 
Eh...the last two Persona games had actual female characters that did'nt seem like jerk off fetish characters tailored to suit every otaku fetish. No, they actually were just female characters. So no...

ehhh I mean in P4 we had:

-tomboy
-japanese housewife (atlus pls)
-cute idol
-androgynous girl

P3's girls were much less "fetishy"
 
My fiance told me if anyone needs a P5 avatar from the trailer, he could do it. OMG omg. I can't stop freaking out.

There is a blond main character in the game. Ahhh.

He's awesome. Can I get the HP/SP counter for the cat? You should see it around 2:06.
EDIT: Specifically the version where the cat is holding it as the active turn.
 
ehhh I mean in P4 we had:

-tomboy
-japanese housewife (atlus pls)

P3's girls were much less "fetishy"

Really?

- Student President and Rich Ojou-sama
- Popular girl in class and Tsundere
- Shy softspoken girl
- Mecha musume

Just because they're not your fetish doesn't make them any less so.

In P3 we had:

-robot girl dedicated to the MC and the MC only
-online girl who falls in love with you and is actually a teacher
-girl who always acts shy around the MC at school
-tsundere
-queen of the school

Singling out P4 and not P3 doesn't make sense.
 
That's not a mall, that's a train or subway station. Some are connected to shopping centers.

edit- yeah, Shibuya underground mall

This will be TWEWY 2 we all wanted. Coming from Atlus of all companies. Goddamn Square, get on the ball :(

In P3 we had:

-robot girl dedicated to the MC and the MC only
-online girl who falls in love with you and is actually a teacher
-girl who always acts shy around the MC at school
-tsundere and KWEEN MITSURU

Singling out P4 and not P3 doesn't make sense.

I was about to add Mitsuru to your list but caught your edit.

Yeah, P3's characters were stepped in those tropes without much else going for them. At least with P4's characters, they were mostly relatable due to them having concerns that didn't really span beyond the confines of Inaba, a small town.
 
Persona and P2 didn't need Social Links D:

If you're fighting demons like in those 2 games, "Cooperation" may be cooperation you get from fighting demons.
Well...that was P1 and P2. What have the two most recent and successful games been like? They've had S.Links. They were never called S.Links in JON, they were called Community. There's no reason to think they won't be in the game.
I think P5 seems only bigger now because well....15 has had a lot of news about it over the past months and so it's not "new".

Crazy.
As much as I want to hype P5, we should remember that we're in a lull with 15. When the demo gets released, barring it being terrible, I expdct quite w positive reaction.

Would P4G count?
 
Yeah, dunno why I didn't have the last 2 letters.

It's likely An or Annu in Japanese which would be Anne romanized. It's not that uncommon for naturalized foreigners to take a Japanese version of their name.

In Persona 2: IS, Lisa can also be pronounced Risa which is a JP a name.

Anyway, a friend of mine on twitter was analyzing the video and noticed a bunch of Catholic symbolism in it that hints at the theme, setting, and content for the game. I noticed this too this morning but I was too tired to formulate a coherent thought on it.

Check out his twitter posts about it https://twitter.com/logichole

But the gist of it is that the theme for this one is "Sin" with each member symbolizing one aspect of the Seven Deadly Sins. Their eyes when they enter the equivalent to Tartarus/Mayonaka TV changes colors, each one representing sin. There are a bunch other elements too but you can check out his twitter for a more detailed analysis.
 
I couldnt get into Persona 4 because of the dungeon design. I LOVED the art style and "real" world, but I thought dungeon running and combat were boring.

This, however, looks like a masterpiece. Well done.
 
Social Links is an Atlus USA translation, in the JPN version of P3 they were called COMMU I think, don't remember what they were called in P4. Could be the same thing with Persona 5.

Yeah, in Japanese it was コミュ (COMMU in the game menus), which is an abbreviation for Community/Communication.
 
So unsure if this was mentioned, but when the P5 MC summons his persona, his eyes turn GOLD. Coupled with the theory that his persona is called Joker...

I hate names, did you know that?
because now you do

I've never seen some of those but they do show up on my IME.
That said I've only really seen it read as 「あん」or 「あんず」by itself, and I'm pretty sure 「あん」is the less common of the two readings. Im pretty sure most of the other readings are usually compounds. It's not like we'll actually know until we hear it or get some furigana anyway.

No, that's his shadow. They've been in all Persona games starting with P2.

Yellow eyes and a menacing look are how they're denoted.

Their first HD game was Catherine, but this is their first big RPG in HD.

I'm with you on the XV thing though. Maybe I'm just too old.
