Finally got around to seeing the trailer. It looks like it's going to make a lot better use of the sets, just going by the trailers. Persona games usually suffered from hallway-syndrome, there the only interactivity to be found was a automatically triggered battle, or a NPC to talk to. Heck, large chunks of these games are spent in literal boring hallways. These Person 5 trailers have been showing a much more lively and interactive world already, which is exciting news.

PV 01 Track - Opening Theme
PV 02 Track - Battle Theme
PV 03 Track - Boss Battle Theme

Oh hey look its Junpei 3.0 / Yosuke 2.0!

In the anime sequences he always looked a little bit like Naruto, but Soejima's official artwork is much better.
The school uniform trousers really fit his punk image.

Yeah they are so cool i'd actually wear them irl.

 

[Blunoise]

5 revealed so far including the protagonist. More could very well be revealed later. Given they have ~10 more months to advertise, I expect they're holding something back. Would not be shocked if we got another revealed on the Stage show.

Ok thanks. Cuz I like having a big party of characters to interact with. Besides I gotta rank up those relationships lol

 

[kiyoaki]

Translation plz!

I'll just copy my translation post from the Persona community thread:

Speaking of Sakamoto, his bio was finally revealed. Could someone translate?

Rough translation (I should preface every one of these with a disclaimer that neither English nor Japanese is my first language):

Spoiler

Just like the youth assumed to be the leader, he is a 16-year old boy in the second year at Shûjin gakuen high school. He has a rude way of speaking and seems to be regarded as a "problem child" at school. He causes his teachers and instructors more trouble than usual, and his behavior is problematic.
According to our investigation, he did not exhibit this sort of behavior previously, and further investigation into the cause of his delinquent behavior is desirable.

There was actually one more member with brown hair on the pyramid that you couldn't really see.

Edit: Nevermind. It's Ryuji.

Edit2: Nevermind. I was right. There's a sixth member. =p.

.

If he is like Brosuke then he is already the best character

I hated Junpei tho.

 

[Cyborg]

Is this a RPG? What are you supposed to do in Perosna? Never played a single game

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

It's Ryuji. You can see him in the other shot on the Pyramid. Just a weird color choice for that shot, I guess.

Half the game is (usually) a fairly standard JRPG with dungeon crawling. The other half is living your daily school life. You make decisions how to spend your day. You can either go out and do events, do things that raise your social stats or hang out with friends and build bonds. Those bonds than let you make stronger Personas to fight with. Stuff like that.

It's probably a coloring error and that's just Ryuji.

Oh. I just thought he was in front of him with the blonde hair there. Nevermind then.

Cool I will try this in 2016

It's an RPG series where teens catch Pokémon that have their dicks out, and use them to fight through nightmare worlds of pagan gods, while occasionally stopping to listen to the crippling anxieties of randos.

 

[silva1991]

There was indeed 6th member in the trailer

 

[Dusk Golem]

There was indeed 6th member in the trailer

Not very surprising, but surprising no one as of yet took a screencap of it and just a bit ago look to check that.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

There was indeed 6th member in the trailer

Oh welp, excitement!

 

[Zolo]

For party balance purposes, I'd also guess it's a female character.

 

[hughesta]

guys this is gonna be the best game ever you GUYSSSS

 

[Lusankya]

For party balance purposes, I'd also guess it's a female character.

P3 and P4 were close to a 50/50 ratio each.
P3 had four female, four male and a dog party member. There was also Ken
P4 had four female and four male party characters, when you count Teddie as a male member.

Navigators are included as party members.

So overall I again expect around 8 party members.

 

[ChasingComets]

For party balance purposes, I'd also guess it's a female character.

You can hear a third female voice along with Morgana and Anne during the opening dialogue of the trailer which leads into the pyramid escape.

Though it remains to be seen if it's really a girl. Japan's no stranger to having females voice male characters.

 

[immortal-joe]

Anyone has a new link for the translated trailer? Atlus took the one in the OP down.

 

[Ganzlinger]

I hope so, we need more girls.

I didn't regognize the first female voice. I think Anne is the one who is rather paniqued, Morgana has a distinct high pitched voice. Oh and I suppose the "deep voice" must be the "never give-in" guy.

 

[AtomskEater]

Don't know how I missed that Morgana is in the MC's bag while he's walking around the town and school. No one cares that he brings a cat to school?

 

[Error]

Looks increible but I'll be going on a blackout, that trailer showed way too much.

 

[muteki]

I hope so, we need more girls.

Scrunchie-chan needs to make a comeback.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

The first female voice is Morgana's, I'm certain. The second voice - the one who suggests taking something - is the one I think belonging to a not-yet-revealed sixth member.

 

[cbq]

Noticed a couple neat touches:

3) Every time someone's Persona is visible, their mask isn't, so the idea of Personas as masks is really quite literal this time around.

Yeah, and I think we can conclude that again only MC can have multiple personas. We have only saw him (obviosly) obtain a new persona and masks of the other characters are pretty distinct and bear resemblance to their personas.

 

[Gbraga]

Jun did Lelouch Lamperouge. I'm excited

Wait, Lelouch's voice was the one in the Super Live 2015 hype up before the trailer, wasn't it? Isn't that supposed to be Arsene?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

That's the protagonist's voice. Again, you can hear it at the very start of PV#03 when they're escaping.

 

[Gbraga]

Arsene is the one from PV02 then?

 

[Nemesis121]

Chopper voice actor and they pull almost the same gag....lol

 

[cj_iwakura]

made quick and dirty image of the main characters and their VAs other anime work. The anime characters were randomly picked from the ones I know. The last character is the mysterious brown haired girl we barely see in the very beginning, but from the voice we can hear that it's Sato Rina.

I have no idea who Ryuji and Anne are voiced by, though I know Sugita was Jonny in Catherine(and the best).

 

[wmlk]

Arsene is the one from PV02 then?

Well, MC and Arsene are pretty much one and the same since that's his Persona. Fukuyama voices both, though, if you look at it that way.

 

[oti]

Oh hey look its Junpei 3.0 / Yosuke 2.0!

Twist: You can date him.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Wait, has anyone posted the full translated list of Persona 5 voice actors here? If not, here:

Jun Fukuyama (Protagonist)
Rina Satou
Aki Toyosaki
Nana Mizuki (Anne Takamaki)
Hirohiko Kakegawa
Tomokazu Sugita
Jouji Nakata
Yuji Mitsuya
Ikue Otani (Morgana)
Kazunari Tanaka
Minako Arakawa
Mamoru Miyano (Ryuji Sakamoto)
Yuko Kaida
Masane Tsukayama
Soichiro Hoshi
Aoi Yuki
Shuichi Ikeda
Haruka Tomatsu
Yukitoshi Hori

 

[KibblesBits]

Twist: You can date him.

Sudden unruly behavior can be a sign of latent homosexuality.

 

[Kozmos]

I have no idea who Ryuji and Anne are voiced by, though I know Sugita was Jonny in Catherine(and the best).

This is probably a more recognizable picture of who voices Ryuji:

EDIT: And Anne:

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Arsene is the one from PV02 then?

Yeah, but it seems you're under the assumption that the Persona and the main character don't share the same voice.

 

[Okrag]

Sugita didn't voice Jonny in Catherine.

He did voice

though.

 

[Setsu00]

That's the protagonist's voice. Again, you can hear it at the very start of PV#03 when they're escaping.

That line at the start of PV3 doesn't sound like Fukuyama to me. It's a bit too deep to be him.

But yeah, Arsène and the Phantom most likely have the same voice. They did the same thing for Tatsuya and Vulcanus in P2IS IIRC, and it also makes sense from a thematic point.

Fukuyama doesn't speak in the early part. It's Miyano Mamoru (Ryuji) and Sugita (Blue haired guy)

Actually, I don't think Fukuyama has any lines in PV3.

 

[Setsu00]

Yep, that's what I was thinking.

Wait, then am I the one totally confused? I thought... Ah, was I assigning Sugita's to Fukuyama? I'm totally not familiar with the Japanese voice actors, so that's probably the case.

Then...

Arsene is the one from PV02 then?

Sorry, I was wrong. Fukuyama is the protagonist's VA, though (and might be Arsene's, too), but he apparently wasn't in PV#03.

Edit: Oh that's right! Actually listening to it intently and currently watching Gintama, I recognize Sugita's voice.

 

[Curry-Hakase]

Tomokazu Sugita
Jouji Nakata

Finally, the Blazblue and Guilty Gear crossover we've all been waiting for!

Joking aside, that is a really nice cast of VAs.

 

[raven777]

Arsene's voice (or what we believe it to be Arsene) from PV2 is Fukuyama, the same VA as the main protagonist.

 

[Megidolaon]

Dang, most of the characters so far are cute guys. Hopefully you can be bi in this.

I like the character designs. Ryuji seems like a really hyper rebellious kid, but no so much of a "punk" as maybe Kanji.

Morgana will be the new mascot. I like mascots. She's cool.

And Anne, well hopefully she has her own uniqueness. She seems like Yukari 2.0 right now, but we'll see.

And the painter boy seems like a senior, and from another school, maybe? His uniform seems different.

 

[Gbraga]

Well, MC and Arsene are pretty much one and the same since that's his Persona. Fukuyama voices both, though, if you look at it that way.

Yeah, but it seems you're under the assumption that the Persona and the main character don't share the same voice.

Oh, ok, I was indeed assuming they didn't share the same voice. Makes sense to me. Even if it wasn't his voice in PV03, it's still important info.

Dang, most of the characters so far are cute guys. Hopefully you can be bi in this.

It would be cool, but they better make Ryuji gay if that's the case.

 

[Lunar15]

There's definitely two different female voices in the first part of the trailer, aside from Morgana.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

There's definitely two different female voices in the first part of the trailer, aside from Morgana.

Alright, let me lay the very beginning out, just for my sake if anything:

(Part 1)

Morgana (Ikue Otani): "Let's Hurry!"
??? (Rina Satou) "Since we're here, we could take the big one..."
Blue-haired(?) (Tomokazu Sugita): "We'll think about that later!"
Ryuji (Mamoru Miyano): "What's going on!?"
Anne (Nana Mizuki): "Whatever! Just hurry up to the roof already!"
Morgana (Ikue Otani): "This is bad, bad I say!"

(Part 2)

Blue-haired(?) (Tomokazu Sugita): "Come on! We have to get out of here!"
Ryuji (Mamoru Miyano): "Damn it! It was all a trap!"
Anne (Nana Mizuki): "The car! Is the car ready yet!?"
Morgana (Ikue Otani): "I know! I kno-"
