Wait, if that's the Shibuya underground mall, does that mean that Persona 5 is going to take place in actual Tokyo?

Yes. so get your smt on.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

When I expected gameplay footage, I honestly never expected it to look so damn good. This is not the beauty of polygons but of the art style. Imagine looking at all this in 1080p on your TV in real time.

BTW I am sure the combat is still turn based judging from this short snippet of gameplay.

 

[super-famicom]

That last one of Anzu is so good. Your fiancé is a gentleman and a scholar.

And it's a real place? I really, reeeeeeally need to visit Tokyo at some point in my life.

Yup, I've visited Shibuya a large number of times, but only went through the underground mall once or twice. I'm looking forward to seeing the other locales in the game.

And I hope they will let us control all party members. I don't want to go back to crappy AI-controller party members EVER AGAIN.

Yes, it's quite accurate. At least, from what I remember there from being there in 2010.

[Shizuka]

I won't be able to get a PS4 until then, will probably get the PS3 version instead.

 

[JoJoSono]

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

Not on consoles. I liked Square's last gen offerings and 15 shows the continued correcting of the ship that the XIII sequels offerd. This is Atlus' first HD jrpg. Id be more catious of them then Square.

 

[Jb]

I'm curious to see if they 'll do anything with online this time around. The polls in Catherine and SOS messages in P4G were pretty clever way of implementing network functionnality in what remained story-driven single player games.

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

All these avatars made me join the fray


I hope Fox is in this game

 

[Qblivion]

All of the Persona games take place in the same universe.

The events of P2 split the persona universe in to two parallels, which is why in ps3 and 4 you fight shadows and not demons, but we clearly saw the party fighting demons in the trailer, so maybe this one takes place in the other branch.

 

[R_thanatos]

While examining the equipment menu gifs, I'm considering the possiblity that each party member has their own animation for the menu.

Man , more awesome menus , the better it will be ..

I wonder what role cell phones will play in the game. I have a feeling they will be important in one way or another.

Well it's in tokyo , with those kind of students , can't be a small role.

quality wise no way. Persona 3 and 4 are some of the best jrpgs in gaming.

 

[Willy Wanka]

Great trailer. I'm interested to see how close the PS3 version will be to that trailer but I suppose by the time it comes out in English, I'll probably own a PS4 anyway.

 

[motorised mallard]

And I hope they will let us control all party members. I don't want to go back to crappy AI-controller party members EVER AGAIN.

Maybe I were lucky with my P3FES & P3P playthroughs but I didn't have any problems with the AI. Can't remember if it was off by default in P4 but if it was on by default then at somepoint I did change to manual. Order was P3FES -> P4 -> P3P.

I can't remember the last Atlus game I played that was straight up garbage, their track record is hella good ever since Persona 2/Soul Hackers. If anything SE has more to prove with FFXV than Atlus does with Persona 5. FFXIII left a very bad taste on a lot of people mouths, mine included.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Judging from how "SP" appears on UI of each during the close-up of each character (like in Persona 3/4), I am sure that we are controlling each one of them individually.

That Gif crippled my browser.

Chrome is an ass lately when it comes to GIFs =/

I'm just going to nab this one.

Thank you very much!

 

[JJP12]

Watched this trailer about 20 times and its purrfect, can't wait to play!

 

[eyeball_kid]

That's basically what was commented here so far.

Thanks for the responses. RE: my ff15 I was joking, but I'm surprised to see action stuff in a Persona game. And that makes sense about Cooperation = Social Links.

When I expected gameplay footage, I honestly never expected it to look so damn good. This is not the beauty of polygons but of the art style. Imagine looking at all this in 1080p on your TV in real time.

That looks like the new "all-in clobberin' time" animation, so get ready to see that a thousand times during the game. ;D

The animation style to me has a bit of Cowboy Bebop flare to it, especially mixed with the bold graphic design.

 

[ArchedThunder]

YESSSS thanks to you both!

Sorry, I already took that one on the last page.
We can both have it though, doesn't bother me.

I can has?

 

[Iva Demilcol]

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 don't remember about "Community" to be honest, so I'll assume you're right. I'd love if they just drop the idea of social links. Seeing how the party is fighting against "demons" gives me P2 vibes.

 

[NoirVisage]

atlus won

Atlus ..Shrugged..

 

[Shouta]

I played through P3 on the Hardest setting with the AI and got through it fine every time. Gotta work with that Marin Karin. I twas a mini-game of its own, lol.

 

[d34thfrom4bov3]

I didn't even realize how incredible this was going to look at all. I'm so jazzed right now.

 

[Steel]

Lotsa slumpy businessmen.

Any word if this takes place in the same universe as p3 or p4?

Don't see why it wouldn't be. In fact, I would be terribly surprised if it wasn't, as if it wasn't they couldn't make another crossover fighting game.

 

[Kinsei]

Why? They are relatable to a lot of people even if I don't like some of them... I actually find some similarities with Kanji in some issues that I had in my personal life and some of the social links remind me of a lot of people I know, especially the Old Lad of the Death Arcana in Persona 4.

I think that is impossible to have a cast of characters that all people in all cultures can relate in some form but they manage to create situations that are almost universal (Like the feeling of loss after the death of a person dear to one, the struggle when you find life boring and would do anything to make it better, etc)

I never related to a single character in P3 or 4 (or Catherine for that matter). Then again I'm part of a demographic the Persona Team hates so I may be a bit biased.

 

[convo]

Would it ever work?

This made the wait so much harder. Looks godlike.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I kind of liked it. It gave each member another layer to their personality even if it was unintentional. For me Akihiko was someone I could always rely on.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

What's the release date in the west? A vague 2015 or not even that?

 

[Valor]

Is there any room on the hype train? I bought my ticket a while ago, but I think it's about time I boarded.

Well, it wasn't so funny on the last boss.
When he basically healed himself after I fought him for almost 2 hours...
I'll have to admit that I was rather weak though, as I didn't grind as much as I needed to.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

What's the release date in the west? A vague 2015 or not even that?

confirmed localisation in 2015.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Now all I want to do is try to make UIs that are that cool looking but in 480x270 pixel art. Today's not a good day for focusing on work.

 

[SolidSnakex]

What's the release date in the west? A vague 2015 or not even that?

It's a vague 2015 everywhere. Best thing now is to hope that Atlus US has been working hard for a near simultaneous release since this is probably going to hit late 2015 in Japan.

 

[Akainu]

I liked it. Mascot character is a negative though. It's up there with robots as something I don't need.

 

[super-famicom]

Where did you hear this from?

 

[DarkLordMalik]

PSX event confirmed 2015 release for PS3/PS4 but no idea if it still holds.
