Wasn't a ton of reveals today, but that one was exciting for me.

 

[tomato shrub]

art direction is a miss for me

 

[Arsic]

Game of the show for me. Fired on all cylinders and was a well done trailer to show players a LOT.

Day one. This and P3 remake has me super happy. Altus on point… granted that P5 mobile looking off shoot is some serious doo doo.

 

[SABRE220]

Looks amazing, while the artstyle isnt as good as p5 the scale is massive and looks a deeper game, I hope its on ps5 aswell.

 

[adamsapple]

Never in my wildest imagination did I ever expect Atlus to reveal a new game at an Xbox conference

 

[TheMan]

Looking forward to this one!

 

[Croga]

This looks insane, wish it was coming out sooner, can't wait!

 

[Isa]

Man I like the music in that. Thanks for sharing.

 

[GHG]

This and clockwork were the two most interesting things shown for me.

 

[blackjon24]

Not gonna lie I feel like we kind of got bamboozled by atlus again. Reminds me of the SMT X fire emblem reveal where we ended up with tokyo marriage... If you look at the initial reveal of this game it looked like a true high fantasy world.

Now it is looking a lot more persona and the main character and the skate boarding doesn't look very fantasy...

Am I the only who feels this way? I know projects change over time but a little disappointed so far

 

[Isa]

Love it, stylistically off the charts. Can't believe we finally got to see it properly revealed and don't have to wait that long. I love the overall character design and the elf lady is fire.

 

[MudoSkills]

I'm already obsessed with this. I assume people are speculating next gen only because of the platforms announced - I don't see anything here that PS4 couldn't handle, but if it is PS5 only then this game has finally sold me on getting one.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

So someone on reddit has mentioned that this is essentially the true follow up to Persona 5 in a sense as the core team leaders (director, music, and character design) all left the Persona team to make a new team that's behind this game. So... get hyped guys and gals!

 

[LordCBH]

This was game of the show for me. In for the eventual CE on PS5

 

[Fbh]

Looks awesome, the art direction is nice, the setting seems interesting and you can really tell it's the P5 team with those stylish menus.
Kinda wish the trailer had stayed on the gameplay shots a bit longer instead of cutting away to something different every 2 seconds though.

All these recent conferences have had a serious lack of new announcements, it felt like after 3 big showcases I hadn't seen anything NEW to actually look forward to, so this came as a nice surprise

 

[Danjin44]

If you look at the initial reveal of this gamed it looked like a true high fantasy world.

It is Fantasy but same way kabaneri of the iron fortress was in fact they are going for that AoT and Iron Fortress aesthetic

 

[reksveks]

That menu font, so fucking hot.

 

[killatopak]

Day one Hoshino-san.

 

[ProtoByte]

This looks kinda lame and rote. It's like they can't stop making the same kind of game. Every SMT sub-franchise has been stitched together and repackaged in this game.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

So that was that Project Fantasia?

 

[Pejo]

Oozing style, that's all I know after watching the trailer. I'll keep an eye on it for sure.

 

[Danjin44]

I think watched the trailer 100 time by now.

 

[gela94]

Looks amazing, like a really deep dive jrpg. I guess only next year

 

[cireza]

Persona 3 Reload trailer is also showing is only coming on Xbox

This is an Xbox show, watched by Xbox players. Obviously games are going to be announced for Xbox. It doesn't mean "only" on Xbox. Stop interpreting stuff and calm down.

 

[Shifty1897]

This trailer gave me pee shivers in a good way.

Day freaking one. I want this so bad.

 

[Oberstein]

Well, that's something...

 

[Danjin44]

and calm down.

 

[Skifi28]

I think watched the trailer 100 time by now.

The moment I saw the trailer, I instantly thought of you being excited for 4 hours straight!

 

[Danjin44]

Well, that's something...

 

[nikos]

This looks great. It almost certainly won't support ultrawide, and I probably will never finish it, but it's a day one.

Not gonna lie I feel like we kind of got bamboozled by atlus again. Reminds me of the SMT X fire emblem reveal where we ended up with tokyo marriage... If you look at the initial reveal of this game it looked like a true high fantasy world.

Yeaaaah, I'm sort of in the same mind. Love what these guys do as a general rule but some of the stuff shown doesn't really gel for me. Maybe it's the "in your face" UI. I was expecting something a bit more...restrained maybe? Still, looking forward to it.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Day... effin'... one. On blackout until release next year.

 

[Danjin44]

Maybe it's the "in your face" UI. I was expecting something a bit more...restrained maybe?

It Atlus, they always do stylists UI and visual style, it what makes Atlus....well Atlus.

 

[Markio128]

Just looked like a barrage of what the actual fuck to me.

 

[StereoVsn]

Looks pretty good, but after all this time it's basically mostly SMT with some Persona sprinkled in? I honestly expected more from the effort.

That said, no question I will buy it, lol.

 

[Danjin44]

They are really going for that AoT look...

Also this menu design is....

 

[Nautilus]

RE: FANTASY LIVES!!!!!!!!

Biggest surprise of the show. Looks absolutely incredible. Just a *bit* bumped that the art style is identical to Persona 5. Wished they went with something different.

Edit: Hmmm maybe not? Gotta look at the trailers again.

 

[Sub_Level]

I love me some Persona 3,4,5 but

1. Im gettin a little tired of the high school setting.
2. I really don't wanna wait until 2026 to play another one.

This game basically kills 2 birds with 1 stone for me. What a pleasant surprise for 2024. Even if its not made by their main team it should be quite good. I can look past a subpar story if the characters & combat are fun.

100% agree with this. I don't like shitting in threads with new game announcements with my disappointment, but this was conceptually promised to be different from what has been presented. So I am quite disappointed in that regard too, but it still looks interesting, for a fantasy with its art direction.

 

[zedim]

Next gen only ?

So, no alliasing this time ? Thank god

this is absolutely a switch game, pretty dissapointed honestly, they should've made ps4 as baseline and launch on next gen switch, such a shame specially since the artstyle is so cool and for a game thats been developing for 7 years i expected more

 

[Thabass]

Atlus going off:

New IP
P3 Reload
P5Tactica

And they're currently working on Persona 6. My JRPG in me is eating really good right now.

 

[Gambit2483]

So its basically Not-Persona 6...? Looking for to checking this out on PS5 (or Switch 2)

 

[EDMIX]

Yeah Im excited for Metaphor Refantazio but id be lying if part of me doesn't feel the same way.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Isn't this just SMT?

Oh how i wish! If it's even close to the combat system

We have a glimpse of Danjin44

Spoiler

 

[SirTerry-T]

It Atlus, they always do stylists UI and visual style, it what makes Atlus....well Atlus.

Yeah I get that, something just seemed inconsistent with the UI and the art direction of the main game....maybe something as simple as the font design maybe?

 

[Danjin44]

Oh how i wish! If it's even close to the combat system

We have a glimpse of Danjin44

[Barakov]

Isn't this just SMT?

 

[NanaMiku]

So isekai SMT lol

Pretty hype that my favorite seiyuu is in this game!

 

[Madonis]

The trailer implies the main character reads a pure fantasy novel and somehow that leads to characters and stuff from the novel entering the real world.

Reverse isekai, if you will. Which is certainly more interesting than the regular kind, if I'm being honest. Let's see what they've got.
