Just noticed the yen font was different in between the shop and clinic menus.
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.

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.
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.
If you're going to have a mascot, make use!Also it seems the characters are handling the mascot with the right amount of care. None. Blonde guy is just throwing that cat around.
A friend of mine speculated the same thing this morning. Good to see someone else thinking the same thing.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.

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![]()
I've put them together in one gorgeous gif.

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.
That is one funky looking school.

Very interesting theory. If he is right there would be three more characters yet to be revealed, to match all the seven sins.

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.

Would P4G count?

When you have it on, mouseover kanji or JP words produces dictionary definitions.
I love how the MC has a super hero vigilante thing going on.

Okay my fiance Azula just made a bunch of P5 avatars, told me to post them here:

True. I guess that would possibly be more noticeable to the JPN audience. I personally totally forgot that manga existedYeah, it's fairly noticeable. The criminal element helps this too.
My only complaint would be that this setup is ridiculously close to the Seven Deadly Sins manga by Suzuki Nakaba which is very popular right now. Even the first 3 sins are in the initial cast is the same, lol

ehhh I mean in P4 we had:
-tomboy
-japanese housewife (atlus pls)
-cute idol
-androgynous girl
P3's girls were much less "fetishy"
I think those were examples of the the Tarot's Arcanas, just the Reversed interpretation of them...Unless my memory is failing me didn't Persona 3 already tackle the 7 deadly sins with each of the shadows you fought during the full moons?

Woowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I wish it wasn't another high school setting, but this game looks fantastic.
A few thoughts (that might have been addressed, didn't read 60+ pages yet):
- Looks like the Catherine game engine? Nope
- The menu/graphic design is so so good Yup
- Action sequences? Is this their answer to FF15? I'm down. lolwut
- The main menu had "Cooperation" and "Mission" items, hmmmmm! Is Cooperation a new multiplayer element? Are missions selectable instead of story-driven? It's probably the new Japanese name for Social Links.
- So guns are the MC's weapon? They all use melee + gun
- Is that cafe the one from Catherine?? Looks similar! Nope
The hype. The hype!

Erm...P3's female character tropes were every bit as tropey.
Popular girl on a sports team with good grades
Rich girl on student council with all the connections (doubles as plot device girl because yay monies)
and idk what to call Fuuka. I barely remember anything about her. :x
You can call P4 girl's fetishy (what does that even mean) or w/e but P3 wasn't "better", just different.

All of the Persona games take place in the same universe.Any word if this takes place in the same universe as p3 or p4?
