Allright! Thanks a lot!

Didn't know about the 2015 mentioning!! Wow, that would be amazing, but I won't put much faith on that yet.

If anything 2015 in Japan, maybe? Hopefully as well in America. But honestly they can take as much time as they need. Persona is a very special franchise
obviously to all of us here
, so it would be for them to take as much time as they need. They been working on this for the last 4-5 years since they did Catherine so if they need 6 more months that leads into the beginning of next year they should be free to take it :D
 
The fact that there have been 7 deadly sins discussed by the creator and that there are various roman catholic symbols throughout the trailer as pointed out by a guy on twitter a few pages back makes it seem like its influenced by christianity.
Awesome! Wonder what the bosses will be like.
 
I can't help but think the guy selling weapons (green menu) is going to be voiced by Steve Blum. For whatever reason he looks like a Blum character.
Atlus is lucky they can still get Troy Baker, assuming his schedule's free.
Then again, Troy is besties with the guys at Atlus. His schedule prevented him from doing P4AU & PQ.
 
Goddamn, those menus make Persona 4's menus look like they were made in PowerPoint 2003 for Mac. And Persona 4's menus were already awesome.

And P4 menus made P3 menus looks simple, it's just how everything moves and changes when you move in the menus in the trailer, it just looks so gooooood.

Yup! I realistically expect it to release in 2016, in the west at least. And I'm ok with that.
Altough if they release it here in 2015 will be a great and pleasant surprise!
 
From this screenshot, the name of their high school is 秀尽学園 (Shuujin Gakuen; Shuujin Academy). I may not have used the correct readings for the first two kanji, but I feel certain that they're right.

Oh her name is Anne.

(Vestal is a professional translator, fwiw)
 
So I suppose I'll make my VO predictions now.

Protagonist: Bryce Papenbrook (Cocky attitude voice but not overly masculine, just like our protagonist. Plus it isn't a big speaking role thankfully).
Anne: Laura Bailey (other people have voiced multiple characters in the series and she has such wide range, see her work in Binary Domain, would you have guessed that was her?)
Ryuji: Liam O'Brien (I think of it as a more energetic rocker version of his Orlando voice)
 
It's not just reflective tape. The brightest part of the column shows through his head and clothing]

You can also see the person through him in that second picture.

Damn, you guys must have way better vision than I do. Even in those two frames, if you hadn't circled what you were talking about, I probably wouldn't have noticed.

I thought you guys were talking about the lights reflecting off the silver part of his bag/shoulder strap - which I still think it might be doing.
 
Wonder what's the motif for main cast persone
In P3 Greek, P4 Japan, P5 French?
I think the MC persona will be The Phantom (from phantom of the opera) and there will be one character with Arsene Lupin as his/her persona.
 
Absolutely loving the STYLE in this game. Wasn't feeling the music for the trailer as much, it was a good fit for the type of trailer it was though, I can't deny that.
 
Anne: Laura Bailey (other people have voiced multiple characters in the series and she has such wide range, see her work in Binary Domain, would you have guessed that was her?)

I actually did, about an hour after meeting her character I ended up looking up because I couldn't shake that she sounded like Laura Bailey doing the accent. I do really like her voice acting though, I could see her doing Anne's voice as well but I don't know if they want her sounding like Rise. She could do the voice she uses for the Saints Row boss that she does but I guess it comes down to how Anne is written.
 
So is that Anne as in a western name? Pronounced like "an?" Because I'm unsure if Anne is also a japanese name.

Also i'm unsure if this was brought up but the appearance of the MC at the end very much reminded me of Femto/ Griffith.

Then people mention the persona is named phantom which reminded me of Leech from Phantom of the Paradise.

The kanji that is used for her name can be prnounced Annu which is how you would pronounce Anne if you tried to fit it into their system. It's also "An" as in Anna too which supports "Anne" as the official name.

I'm like 99% sure that it's a Western name. I have a Western first name and a Japanese last name myself, so I'ts not entirely uncommon, I think.
 
I keep getting reasons to not get a PS4...

Now i have a big reason to get one, not expecting this on another platform ever.
 
Oh her name is Anne.

Hmm yeah it could be Anne too, but I'll just call her Takamaki-chan until there's some kind of official word. Japanese names are hard, even for Japanese sometimes.. One Kanji can read in a million different way and it's just guesswork if you don't hear the name or see it in hiragana.
 
Presumably Anne is of mixed heritage.

I'm sure she has a chip on her shoulder about that. Probably an outsider.
Based on some speculation from the trailer, the green eyes she sports in this game's version of the shadow realm could be indicative of envy. Maybe she is envious of native Japanese? Or even native Westerners?
 
I had really high expectations going into the trailer, it completely exceeded them.

Absolutely incredible. Nothing comes close to this in terms of pure hype.
