hmm i mean it could but it would leave a very different impression. I personally would never want that. FFXV looks great graphically but I don't think it holds a candle to the "style" P5 has. When a menu is so fucking impressive that it puts any other to shame, I don't know why anybody would want a realistic looking Persona.

Or steamy fanfic atleast.
... Oh God, I see where this is going.
Oh wow, I do remember that stuff from my time playing FES. I think I recall that, once exiting the dorm during a weekend, trying to go back in would immediately move the day forward to the evening.
I think it's less about retaining its identity, and more about what would look better. P5's sense of style is better than anything with a more realistic tinge could bring to the table, in my opinion. I do associate Persona, and maybe even SMT, with a more cel shaded look, anyways.
Nanako would be 11 years old by the time of Monday, April 11th, 2016.

The fanart that launched a thousand slashfics.
Heh I know that one.
Meant real Detective. Maybe in Persona 6 I guess. Nanako with Dojima as her mentor.
Wow, awesome art here. I'm so pumped up for P5Can't wait.
For me, I'm really curious to see how stuff like the social aspects will play out. Social Linkage is my favourite part of the later Persona games, so I'd love that to be expanded upon. Maybe have it be a little more dynamic somehow?
The Japanese name seems to have been changed from "community" to "cooperation" so they've definitely altered somehow.
I hope Famitsu has a lot of info next week.

All this fanart has made me realize the P5 protag is basically Naoya without his earring and discolored eyes, with a slightly altered hairstyle that's more straight than curly.
Ehhhh. That's kinda like saying the same thing the same thing with any other MC from any major anime

What am I reading here? Creepy.
In Persona 4 Golden at least I'm pretty sure he was also available on Monday and Tuesday. There were a few times I answered a phone call and went out but still purchased an item the next day.
I was thinking of P4G, honestly. I guess that might have been a thing, but they had to have just been during holidays, right?
Yeah probably otherwise you wouldn't be home until night.
... and I don't recall it being night when I ordered items. God now I want to go check. I'll do that soon lol.

Well, that's true. Lots of anime is...yeah. I dunno, I get the impression that if I were to contrast him versus the other protagonists, he's closest to Naoya in appearance by far. Minus the earring anyways. That and this fanart has got me contrasting Naoya to the P5 protag's shit eating grin at the end of the trailer.
Oh god... There's going to be fanfiction about this, isn't there?
You can? Persona 3 trained me to sacrifice my sundays on the altar of Tanaka so I never actually missed out on a sunday in persona 4...

I'd be more surprised if someone out there hasn't already written or drawn something.

It'd be cool to see a cameo from SMT Nocturne, maybe the occult writer Jyoji Hijiri who investigates the heists as somehow being occult in origin. (Why are the character designs so much better in Nocturne than any of the Persona games?)

So I watched kindafunnygames and gametrailers exclusively talking about this reveal. Any other places that did as well?
IGN did a better job than anyone else.
Because you didn't have emotive portraits, as such the models actually had to look half decent, and even then they were stiff and creepy as hell(which fit the atmosphere).

Because Kaneko. Absolutely nothing against Soejima but Nocturne's unique atmosphere gets a huge benefit from Kaneko's designs. I played Nocturne only a few months ago and stylistically that game is god damn amazing still.
Also, I was thinking about Nocturne cameos too. Although my idea was that you could maybe visit Shinjuku Hospital (assuming P5 is set in Tokyo) at a very specific time and see Yuko or Hikawa doing some shady shit. Your musings about how elaborate that medical center is compared to a regular school nurse's office might tie into this if the P5 MC is actually visiting Shinjuku Hospital.
Edit: That guy knows how to design some demons.

Already answered in the post above mine, but basically because Kaneko.
I hope we see him design something again sometime soon.

I'm loving this so much. Thanks for posting it! That kind of style is where the Persona games really exceed, since we were talking about SMT designs earlier.

Just overflowing with style. I love it.

Ah right, I forgot that Kaneko wasn't involved in the Persona titles. You'd think they would want their "star" artist on their biggest series. It looks like the last thing he did was on SMT:IV...is he basically just stuck on that series forever? Or does he choose what he wants to work on?
Yeah, Nocturne probably holds up better than most any PS2 title. It's just gorgeous. P5 seems to be at least partially in Tokyo, so yeah, it'd be cool to have that tie-in. You could be right about Shinjuku Hospital and it'd be awesome if that had a Nocturne link. Though I still don't understand why they're looking at an x-ray of a fish.

I remember saying I wasn't keen on the logo after it was first revealed, and also that I'd wait for future material before judging properly. Well, I've done that, and I'm sold on the logo. Remind me to never question Atlus's sense of style again.

this was me during the 48 hour stream
By the way, here's the reactions in the GAF thread when the P5 trailer was revealed at the concert.
Yep, this is an amazing title card. I liked the logo when it was first revealed, but my appreciation for it increased by magnitudes because of this trailer.

Man, that looks sooooo good. P5 is just oozing style.
Edit: Nvm. I'm dumb. That's cool, though. Good job.
this is beautiful!
I could've sworn I heard that he felt his style isn't the best fit for the Persona series due it's difference in tone to SMT.
