Not as far as I know. Its mainly just hoping (and how a lot of japanese games are coming to Steam as of late).
Absolutely zero.

If it's a definitive version of P3 (i.e. FES + Portable combined with FeMC) and P4G, I'd be perfectly fine with this.

I am ashamed to say it but I would quantuple dip for that (P3, FES, FES Digital, PSP, PSP Digital, P4, P4 Digital, P4G, P4G physical, P4G SE). I have a problem.
Am i the only one who wishes they would stop using anime cutscenes? based on the P5 footage we already have, Atlus have basically mastered real time cutscenes..and they for the most part look better than the pretty low quality anime cutscenes these days
When they're about as short and as sparse as the CG scenes in the PS1 FFs? Eh. They're not really necessary, but I don't mind them.

Can't wait for this to be a teaser trailer for the announcement trailer where they will spend 4 minutes and 50 seconds showing footage we have already seen and then at the last 10 seconds we get to see a small box of text that reads, "2018". . . can you tell that I am a bit cynical about this?
Seriously though I hope it is good news, I can't handle another delay :[

You saying these don't look good?
In general, they look average, they aren't mid tier or even really stand out, all all the models look nondescript and low on details(especially for NPCs) and it just clashes with the rest of the game when its using the engine rendering.
In previous games, it was a lot less jarring cause Atlus could not show as much nuance with their previous Persona level of fidelity in real time.
Yes, because they can just farm these low quality anime cutscenes out to anime studio while the rest of Atlus team can work on that NEO mode for dem 1080p 60 fps no drop goodness.

People are nuts, the anime stuff looks great. Sure, it's not the best art out there, but the styyyyyle and cinematography more than makes up for it.
But yeah, I'd rather them farm out anime cutscenes than have to invest deeply into performance cap or hand animating every part of an in-game cinematic.
Plus there's some things that anime just does better than polygonal models atm - like fluid movement. The ending of Persona 4, for example, wouldn't have been anywhere near as good with polygonal models

running down the train station with jarring animations and rendered tears - even with today's engines
Looks pretty bad? The only P5 thing with good animation so far is the stuff from the first real trailer

COME ON 2016 PLEASE IF THERE IS A GOD
This thread is funny with all these people thinking bad news would be teased. Bad news is never teased, it's just dropped.
You know, like the last time this game was delayed.

Wow, we have very different definitions of what looks good and bad. Sure, those particular scenes were visually striking, but so were the posted gifs - just in a different way.
You're making me wonder what on earth you think a good looking anime is, since I wouldn't watch a whole show animated like those particular scenes of the 1st trailer.

When was this announced? I can't find any info on it :/
I think they look good. Production I.G did a fine job making all of the anime scenes we've seen thus far.

They don't look bad, but they don't look good either. Just average.

The timer is tied to your computer's clock. Too bad it seems like setting it forward to May 5 (May 5, 21:30 EST to be precise) doesn't do anything fun.

Of the mainline Persona games, the glimpses we've gotten of P5's animated cut scenes (and its opening sequence) easily eclipse anything before as you can tell Atlus has a much bigger budget to give to the production company this time around (and the fact that it's Production I.G. this time handling these scenes is noteworthy as they are a prolific animation company in Japan).

Yall are crazy saying the Anime scenes don't look good.

Please be excited.Me, 5 minutes before that announcement.
It's gonna get delayed, isn't it
They look fine but Production I.G. doing it isn't any special, they handle every anime under the sun. If it was like Ufotable or something, then it would be remarkable.

I mean I'll give you that from what I've seen so far I think Catherine was better animated.

Now this is something I simply cannot agree with. It's fine if you want to put ufotable on a pedestal, as most people are wont to do (and for fairly good reason), but IG is in no ways a less than remarkable studio.

Could this news actually drop in Famitsu and/or Dengeki Playstation since it's website countdown is due on the 5th? If it's just an announcement of the date rather than an event, then it seems perfect for those.
If they announce a definitive version of P3, I'd forgive them for delaying P5 to 2017.
I'd imagine Dengeki would probably have more information the Tuesday after 5/5.
And even then I.G is capable of putting out really good stuff and the stuff we've seen of Persona 5 so far isn't really coming close to that. And even then most animators are freelance so we've no idea who could actually be working on Persona 5 in that regard.
Ufotable is relevant here too since their anime intros for games still don't look anywhere near as good as the really good fight scenes from the series that they've done do. Sure, they don't look terrible but nothing still comes close to the extended fight scenes they'll have that have a lot of excellent cuts spread throughout them.
Production IG is only second to Ghibli for me
Won't be surprised if they pulled a Diva and the countdown only reveal a date for a Persona 5 Stream event

I like it when Atlus use their style in the anime cutscenes:
Absolutely gorgeous.
And it's not like it's impossible. If what Hashino said is true, then the delay is mostly because of polishing and balancing stuff, so pretty unrelated to localization. Which means Atlus USA had a lot of time to do the localization and they might be nearly finished.
