Yes please
That's a good catch.
There was something similar going on in P4, with each of the party member's personas representing different genres/tropes of television/movies (Detective, Bancho, Military, Martial Arts, Ninja...)
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
For comparison:
Persona 4 Arena: E3 Trailer - 375,118 views
Atlus USA Trailer: Persona 4 - 365,872 views
Persona 4 Golden: E3 Trailer - 356,131 views
Weird that arena got the most views of any of those. But each of those games outsold their views by a decent margin.
Well, compounded with the fact that comparing the views to sales is a dead end, those are Atlus USA channel views, which will usually have much less than the Atlus Japan channel views.
Example:
Persona 5 reveal trailer (JP Youtube): 1.3 million views
Persona 5 reveal trailer (NA Youtube): 239k views
I'm looking up other noteworthy, recent games and their numbers of views to see which P5 has surpassed. Seems that the most viewed Bloodborne video (1.6 million) was passed.
Yeah, that's the predominant reason.

most people rarely care to watch the same trailer again once it finally hits Atlus USAs channel
Please don't make quote every instance of people mentioning rewatching the reveal in this thread alone...
If anything I'd imagine google is just using some IP filter algorithm.

I'm so glad that they seem to make the effort to make the dungeons feel bigger.
I kinda fed up with the narrow & cramped dungeon design from the previous games. I hope there will be outdoor dungeons, as well.

This guy tried to make a mock up of how the PS4 P5 sequence would start up. Not bad

Looking forward to see how fleshed out they are. From the brief snips in the trailer they look way more active than anything in P3 and P4, can't wait to see more.
It certainly was in need of improvement.

Is Igor in P1 and 2?
Yep! Though he's not as big of a deal, as he sort of acts as a Velvet room resident rather than its master.

He's in P2, but I don't think he was in P1
Igor is in every single Persona game, with the only exception being Persona Q (and we don't know about Persona 4: Dancing).
Yep, he plays the same role too. Although later games don't have his sweet cell phone made of bone.

It surpassed Xenoblade Chronicles X's trailer (1,143,686, initially dubbed as X). But if you don't count teasers, there's the E3 2014 trailer (612,057).

Never mind, he was in P1 as well, I was reading the wiki wrong lol

Because she would steal are hearts or something?
ain't got no time for a girl who'd steal my heart
Speaking of Igor, I'm really happy he's back. Apart from sparing us the thought of Marie being a recurring character in Persona from now on, Igor is such an odd, fascinating creature and he compounds the weirdness of Persona in a magnificent way, where your greatest ally is this weird, hunched over monster with a huge nose, bloodshot eyes, and a wide, permanent grin.
I know that this has been answered but he is and I love it. Pretty much makes him the link between all the Persona games. ...Well that and the personas of course.
He also didn't have a voice actor in P1 and 2 (and a different one in the drama cds released during that era) so I would've been really pissed if they had axed him because of his Japanese VA passing away. So glad he's still in.
I do hope they go back to Dan Woren over here though. His Ultimax voice was painful. :l
I wonder how much they'll fit into the tropes of the caper crew. They've already mentioned taking inspiration in some way or another from Lupin III which is a quintessential thieves series.
I'd also say Morgana is more inspired by Puss in Boots, the swashbuckling pirate type what with her giant cutlass and all that than a ninja. I bet we'll get a more traditional ninja somewhere down the line, though that fox/tanooki character could very well fit that bill as well. Still need a techie as well for information and support, which is a staple itself in the series with Fuuka and Rise.
Ryuji looks to be the muscle, dudes using a lead pipe and shotgun as weapons. Could also see him as the conman as well, he seems like he could be charismatic but maybe not if he follows in the footsteps of Junpei and Yosuke. Anne/Anzu definitely fits the cat burglar role. Morgana I'm not sure of, the distraction maybe being a cute cat or the greaseman since she's a tiny cat and can get into places no one else can.

No, I mean that, as evinced by Tharja, there is a significant community of guys that go for creepy/sadistic/derranged women. If you have ever been in a FE thread, you know what I mean.
Also, a character that steals from the party at various points in the game would be funny.
Indeed

His VA passed? Japanese or English? Bummer either way...
Yeah. They could not have made it any more clear with the way they showed him. They definitely knew.

His Japanese VA passed away. It's sort of a thing where characters will be retired if their actors pass away (as an example, the VA for Colonel Campbell passed away, so Kojima's decided to retire the character). Since Persona 4, Igor's been playing a bit part in all the spin offs and all his vocal tracks were recycled, even in English.

That sucks, I've read that in Japan VAs are treated like celebrities.

Jeez, so I just looked this up and it was the Japanese VA for Ocelot that died, not Liquid, so it makes even less sense for Ocelot to be voiced by Zimmerman than Clarke in MGS4. Except, nano machines.
Damn, I hate that game even more now.

Revolver Ocelot's Japanese VA (for MGS and MGS2) passed away in 2006, but the character is still around, though in different versions (Young Ocelot in MGS3 and Big Boss era games). And Liquid Ocelot in MGS 4 was voiced by Liquid's Japanese VA.

I'm gonna do a lot of Me2 comparisons because it is essentially the only RPG I've ever played extensively. Doing all the extra shit in Me2 has its gameplay advantages as well. You can level up quicker, and therefore have more skill points for yourself and your squad.
And you up your chances of having your whole crew survive.
What do you mean? that the game is just not as fun with new game+ if you do all the social links in your first playthrough?
so the story remains unaffected, you only gain more power during gameplay by doing the social links
I see. so you get one social link by just playing the game. probably the game's way of introducing you to it.
huh? i'm just asking whether the protagonist is an an anti-hero or hero.
eyeball_kid

I'm not sure how this relates to my answer about social links, but the MC's personality varies in each Persona game. In P3 and P4 I think you could definitely say he's a hero, but in P5 I think they're going for a bit of the Robin Hood, gallant thief thing so he might be a bit more anti-hero.
On another note, I'm surprised to see such love for Igor! I never thought he was very interesting, perhaps because we know so little about him.

The protagonist is a silent hero type.
The one social link that goes up on its own doesn't happen until ~25% through the game, so it isn't an intro. It is for plot reasons. Actually, three links go up on their own from plot stuff. 3.5 if you do everything right.
Plot twist: the twins are Margaret and Elizabeth as kids.
I've played ME2. I'm just saying that developing higher social links is linked to unlocking some gameplay advantages.
I mean that its not designed to get all the social links in one playthrough while playing it blind. There are advantages in New Game + that give you more time to get the s. links done in the same timeframe.
That is what it boils down to, yes. There is a few endgame scenes that slightly vary based on the social links, but its nothing more than who shows up to give a quick comment at the time.
No, they introduce it to you in a different way. The character arc of the social link is directly progressed by the main events of the story, so they're connected.
My mistake. No protagonists from P1 to P4 would be considered anti-heroes.

Though, honestly, I would not be surprised if they retire Igor after this game.

And now I'm going to be angry at you if this isn't true.
Maybe they give an in-game explanation why he won't be available anymore. He gets locked up etc
