P3 main character was too withdrawn to say he had much swag about him.

CAN YOU FEEL THE SWAG? IT'S GENIUS!

Because YouTube compressed video is such a good indicator of graphics fidelity.
Persona's presence, even in the west, has been slowly growing over the years. With all of these spin-offs, remakes, and everything else, I think its popularity was going to really come forth after a 7 year wait once the next mainline game was to be revealed. It helps tremendously that this is a PlayStation 4 game, too.

I won't say this is true but you gotta remember that one was a puzzle game with little freedom, this will probably have a city hub and dungeons. So even if true, I can't blame them
Pretty much a given. Neither P3 nor P4 revealed their entire casts initially.
True - but one is years ahead, and this is likely a PC based alpha...
Antibolo - your sarcasm is noted.
it just makes me wonder whether atlus has been aware how popular this series has been getting in the west, or it just hit them out of nowhere when they suddenly got >1 million views upon releasing the P5 trailer.

In P3 you don't have to go through the same stupid scene over and over again every time you save someone: Chie saying stupid things that make sense, Yukiko laughing because of a dumb joke, Etc.
It was unbearable all the fucking time.
P3 cast at least were actually more interesting.

compression aside, I'm favoring catherine over P5...
Yeah, its easy to tell P5 is using the Catherine engine.

These guys barely have that much personality of their own in the games, lol. All of the hijinx is really the thing that separates them and then the adaptations.

P3? That blue haired depressing emo punk is the opposite of swag.
And even Yu really only gets it mostly off of the anime, guy is annoying in the Arena games with his friendship talk.
It's not though.
Ok, that's pretty funny. Most of those commenters seem surprised by the popularity of the stream and Persona in the west. My favorite comment is someone being baffled how Persona is more popular than Dragon Quest in the west, that he doesn't understand our taste in games and that it's pretty similar to how strangely popular Sonic is in the west.

Catherine definitely looks significantly better.
But Catherine is easily the best rendition of an anime art-style I've ever seen in a videogame and it also takes place in one room. so it somehow seems a bit silly to hold that up as a standard P5 must pass.
It's reusing assets from Catherine, but not the engine.

Didn't they already say its a new engine?

Its not? Has Atlus said so? Point me to that please.

True enough, but Yu always seemed more outgoing in his conversation choices(Though you could "..." all day long if you wanted to I suppose) and Persona 4 Arena gave him a definitive personality that has poisoned my perception of him.

It's pretty much a meme from how everyone lets the MC coat that throat.
Atlus really kind of fed into it with the anime.
When you put those two together like that... wow, Persona 5 really does look amazing.
Yeah, it'd be interesting to know what Atlus Japan's perception of the western audience for Persona is like. I keep feeling that they underestimate the success they can have in our market, for some reason. I'd like Persona 5 to defy those expectations.
But it's not.

Catherine used the Gamebryo engine, the same engine used for Fallout 3 or The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Going around outside the school and town in Persona 4 is kinda similar to the gameplay in Life Is Strange...

Wow, ok. I'll eat crow now. That is pretty awesome they made a new engine. Wonder if other games will use it after P5.
In terms of release? Unfortunately not. Hashino had this to say, though:
It'll probably be after Persona 4: Dancing All Night, which releases on June 25th, because of that game's first-print bonus of the special Persona 5 movie Blu-ray.

Say what? On a technical level it looks pretty on-par to me. The only thing that looks better in that Catherine shot is the transparency on the drinks, and that may be a stylistic choice. As far as the cell shading and the lighting/shadowing, P5 looks great. That subway scene is gorgeous.

heh, just wait and see what happens on valentines day when you try and get with all of them leading up to itIn P4G you could be romantically involved with a bunch of people but you can only spend christmas with one romantic interest so be prepared to crush some hearts as you tell girl after girl "no I don't want to spend it with you"
Such a douche protag. But so much swag. In fact all of it.

Yeah, like I said. It's really a function of the scooby gang getting into crazy shit in P4 that helps a lot. P3 really doesn't have that outside of like Operation Babe-hunt and that one encounter with Yukari. Fes had the school festival too, i think but yeah, they dialed it up to 11 for P4 and P4G.
Gematsu posted an article with preliminary excerpts of a Famitsu interview with Hashino. He talks about themes they are exploring in the game among other things.
I'm loving the character designs(MC looks so much better to me with that outfit), loving the style choices they took (still got some of the best UIs in games), and the game being about thieves is just too fucking awesome. I'm now more excited for this game and almost anything, just knowing this much is making me too excited.
The game is looking good, the real life proportions to the characters makes it so much better, you can see the the generation jump from the PS2 games. The atmosphere in some the scenes is really nice too, the coffee shop gives me Catherine vibes, like a hang out spot for the cast. The casino/whatever that place was at the end looks amazing too. It's looking like the dungeons are going to be great, not all that hard to improve on that vs P4 but damn I hope it's a huge jump in improvement.
All I'm hearing about the deadly sins sounds interesting, the main character being wrath makes sense because of that ending flame on bit. Shit, he looks so much more badass.
Best explanation for what makes it so good, refreshing indeed.

Persona 6 will probably use the same engine.
Now that they're done developing the engine, getting more Persona games out on it will be quicker.

... You're going to make me buy Life Is Strange aren't you.
Thank you, didn't really know about it and haven't only played Persona 3 and 4 I wasn't really aware of where this was coming from.
lol
But as characters in the main games they don't seem to have swag, especially the one in Persona 3, unless I miss the real meaning of the word.
What the...I guess this is from the anime, lol.
I guess I have to replay Persona 4, because I don't remember him coming out with full swagger, lol.
Thank you, didn't watch the anime and don't have the fighting games, seems that Persona has changed.
lol
