Chibi aside, this actually looks really good. A shame they had to go with this art style probably because of the 3DSs' weak-ass hardware. They should have just made this for the Vita, especially considering how damn good the graphics are on that dancing game. Seriously, had they gone with the art style of that dancing game I don't think many would be complaining.

 

[zroid]

The art style looks great imo

 

[Glass Rebel]

There are a great deal more in the trailer. Including that.

Oh, hadn't seen the trailer, thanks.

At least visually, it looks like a mix between EO's and P4's battle system with character models and animations. Wonder what they're doing mechanically.

How many time people have to post that this is also a spin off of this game.

They went with the art style because it's an Etrian Odyssey game.

 

[fertygo]

They are? At least the Character arts are.

They're not, the 3D model are semi deformed.

I think the game gonna have great gameplay, maybe gonna end up more hardcore than actual P5

I can't get over the idea this just silly crossover game though, even more than P4 arena.

 

[-Horizon-]

I think the game looks fine with the art style it went with.

I don't think it has anything to do with the hardware.

 

[vareon]

And is there going to be map-drawing? Or FOEs?

Dammit you. Now I want an Etrian Odyssey character/monster cameo.

 

[duckroll]

Better look at battle screens:

 

[GeekyDad]

The art style looks great imo

I feel the same. I love the chibi thing. It's a great way to express Persona as a 3DS spin-off. I dig the main games, but this seems like a great companion. Why do the exact same thing on a handheld?

 

[Magicpaint]

They are? At least the Character arts are.

The art is but the in-game models are deformed. Not super deformed, but slightly.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I hope there is an auto map feature. I want the game to be easy enough that it's enjoyable fan service. If I want difficulty I'd just play EO.

Also battle screens confirm you can mix and match from P3/P4 which is definitely a plus.

 

[dark_prinny]

Better look at battle screens:

Holy shit this looks bad.

 

[TurnipFritters]

Better look at battle screens:

So the two new characters share one character slot.

 

[Despera]

Someone add the trailer link to OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf8A6Nl-r-I

Edit: And yeah... Can't wait for this. Seems like a fun crossover game :]

 

[7threst]

Why would the artstyle have anything to do with the platform?

Not sure, it just seems to me going with a certain artstyle makes it easier to develop for a platform that is limited (as in: limited compared to consoles). In going with a less resource-heavy artstyle (I'm not even sure this is less resource-heavy ) there are more possibilities to make the game bigger or give it extra functions like online modes for example.

It's a stylistic choice since it's EO inspired...the idea that 3DS can't handle realistic proportioned character models is laughable.

I know. I'm not trying to insinuating such thing though. I was just wondering why they choose for a style like this

 

[clay_ghost]

Holy shit this looks bad.

It look like cute version of persona 3 /4 models.

 

[zroid]

Yeah, it's very cute and charming. Even aside from that, it's nice getting a chance to see a slightly different take on these character designs. Just an all-around good decision.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Looks like I need to finish up EOT 4 in preperation for this.
Looks like I was pretty smart buying that game now in hindsight.

 

[-Horizon-]

Better look at battle screens:

Looking good.

So the two new characters share one character slot.

Thanks for pointing that out, didn't even notice.

 

[dark_prinny]

Wich I don't like.

 

[Redhood]

Dayum this makes me a bit jelly for not having 3ds! Game is looking good!

But It will take years to come out in europe.

 

[TurnipFritters]

Wich I don't like.

- A person named after a Nippon Ichi character.

 

[Sophia]

Better look at battle screens:

Wow that looks awesome. I hope the game is long, with its focus on dungeon crawling.

Kinda strange how this will be the most P1/P2 like game released in the franchise.

 

[WrenchNinja]

If this is first person battling and exploring, I'm out

 

[clay_ghost]

Wich I don't like.

Ok.

 

[ohlawd]

Holy shit this looks bad.

lol it's OK I don't know what Etrian Odyssey is either.

 

[vareon]

I know. I'm not trying to insinuating such thing though. I was just wondering why they choose for a style like this

Probably to reflect the tone/direction of the of the game.

The art is too underline this are spin-off game and its cartoonish nature , I think its very inappropriate to use that dancing game style.

Spoiler

Holy shit this looks bad.

Never playing EO game?
And its in same level as SMTIV if you ask me.

 

[rtcn63]

If this is first person battling and exploring, I'm out

Same. I've played a few on those on the DS, not my thing. But if Q ends up being similar to the PS2 games just with a bit of added flair, I'm interested. I have a 3DS and PS3, so yeah, no next-gen for me yet.

 

[Gbraga]

Now that the salt is over, this game actually looks really good, I wish I could play it.

 

[slaughterking]

I hope there is an auto map feature. I want the game to be easy enough that it's enjoyable fan service. If I want difficulty I'd just play EO.

Etrian Odyssey is both these days. The games offer a very easy difficulty and the traditional EO difficulty.

 

[kyoakuma]

all the entitled fanboys bashing this game because they thought atlus was not announcing P5 better not buy this game. you dont deserve it.

 

[afreaknamedpete]

So from those battle screens the new characters join the party? Thought they'd be antagonists.

 

[Lusankya]

A shame they had to go with this art style probably because of the 3DSs' weak-ass hardware.

Wow, what horrendous logic.

 

[Lusankya]

Dayum this makes me a bit jelly for not having 3ds! Game is looking good!

Well, get one. There is no current system with a better game line-up.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

If this is first person battling and exploring, I'm out

Actions in battles appear to be an the third person, at least.

 

[-Horizon-]

She's too adorable to be an antagonist.

 

[Burbeting]

Traielr looked fine, imo. The art-style kinda works, since persona characters were already kinda chibi-fies in gameplay.

Want to see battle gameplay before making up my mind about buying this tough.

 

[dark_prinny]

- A person named after a Nippon Ichi character.

That's the main reason to not liking it.

I'm a hardcore Disgaea series fan for what it is.

I'm a hardcore Persona fan for what it is.

Se my point. I'm glad that people are happy with a chibi Persona spin-off. Sadly I don't share their opinion and I'm expressing it without being disrespectful or harsh.

I don't see a problem here. Apparently, some of you do.

 

[Sadist]

Dayum this makes me a bit jelly for not having 3ds! Game is looking good!

Nah. More like six to eight months later.

 

[KarmaCow]

I hope this is more like older Persona but the artstyle and it being directed by the EO4 director is kinda worrying.

 

[killatopak]

They're not, the 3D model are semi deformed.

I think the game gonna have great gameplay, maybe gonna end up more hardcore than actual P5

I can't get over the idea this just silly crossover game though, even more than P4 arena.

The art is. Which I have said.

That's what I said...

[decoyplatypus]

I'm intrigued. I really liked the EO games I've played, but I've only got the energy for one per generation. I'll have to see if PQ can inspire me to buck that trend.

 

[ohlawd]

all the entitled fanboys bashing this game because they thought atlus was not announcing P5 better not buy this game. you dont deserve it.

naw we need everyone to buy this.

 

[WrenchNinja]

.

That's the nicest way to put it.

 

[dark_prinny]

.

Saying that a game looks bad is being harsh or disrespectful now?

OK.

 

[Bladenic]

Think it looks awesome, unfortunately I'm not into dungeon crawlers like EO but I'll try this regardless.

 

[Steel]

I just got up... And I'm not sure I could be more disappointed. Why the hell would they be yet again continuing the P3/4 storyline in yet another RPG!?

Then again they did say they were gonna do a 3ds persona...... So how goes the riot? Can I sign up?

Edit: And wtf? Is that the persona 3 MC?
