Looks like Atlus is having another stream called Emergency Broadcast! Pre-Midnight TV after the reveal.

At 11/24 20:00, the 3-day stream we've been keeping tabs on will show "News flash! Persona channel"

At 11/24 21:30, the stream in the quoted link will be having a talk show hosted by voice actress Isomura Tomomi and a guy named Mafia Kajita aka SP Tanaka (wikipedia says he writes for 4Gamer).

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Long dev talk on Persona 5.

 

[duckroll]

Tomomi Isomura? P5 FeMC confirmed!? Start the rumors!

 

[Squire]

Sunday is going to be excellent. They're in blowout mode.

 

[Sophia]

Tomomi Isomura? P5 FeMC confirmed!? Start the rumors!

We will not fall for your antics again, ducky. :|

Oh my gosh please be right

 

[Dr. Buni]

Tomomi Isomura? P5 FeMC confirmed!? Start the rumors!

Don't play with my heart like that

 

[Squire]

Wait, possible FeMC?

oh shit

 

[michaelius]

Wait, possible FeMC?

oh shit

That would be glorius

EDIT: This is most definitely for a game. Ads for the stream (the current one) have a CERO rating, which is currently the CERO Pending Rating icon. This is definitely not a mobile game, then.

Atlus is really pushing this stream, even putting the live stream on a bottom tab of niconico's TOP page, like the description stated.

Paging 7th.

 

[MysticDistance]

Yeah, this is definitely not for an iOS game.

Atlus is really putting a lot into this stream.

Not only are there ads all over the TOP (main page) of niconico, but the stream is even being displayed on one of the bottom corners of the site on a mini player.

Also, one of the ads has a CERO Rating Pending icon on it. There are six versions of the ads, each with a different expression of Teddie.

Here is one of them:

Edogawa.

Another Edogawa. Le sigh. I'm going to bed but I'll keep the stream up. If something goes wrong then whateverz!

NANAKO!

NANAKO!

Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

NANAKO!

Akemi Kanda voices

Spoiler

Nanako

in P4, though...

 

[Yui]

Well,

Spoiler

teen Nanako

needs a slightly more mature voice obviously.

 

[Squire]

This actress plays Makoto in BlazBlue and Shouko in Baka and Test.

 

[Stone Ocean]

This actress plays Makoto in BlazBlue and Shouko in Baka and Test.

From what I recall of Makoto, she could work as Nanako

Come on Atlus, DO IT

 

[Dr. Buni]

Nanako as the protagonist in P5 would be fucking awesome, omg.

 

[Dantis]

Nanako as the protagonist in P5 would be fucking awesome, omg.

She'd be like 12, so I'd rather not have this, haha.

 

[2+2=5]

The stream showed what looked like gameplay from persona 3(portable? It was widescreen) and the next one will be in 20 minutes.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

I just want a new cast and setting for the next game.

 

[Dr. Buni]

She'd be like 12, so I'd rather not have this, haha.

Not necessarily. She could be 16/17/18, it all depends of the gap between the events of P4 and P5. Anyway, I just want a new female MC...

 

[swnny]

At least for me, one of the strongest points in both P3 and P4's story and character's development over the course of the game is the fact that both protagonists are silent. That makes it a lot more easier for the player to associate with them, which makes the story and it's characters a bit more personal.

Playing with Nanako will be cool and interesting experience, but more like a follow-up to Persona 4's ending (like "The Answer" in P3FES with

Spoiler

Aegis

). For a new game with new story, I'm definitely preferring another silent protagonist.

Same, I loved the FeMC route in P3P. Hoping we get it again. We probably won't right off that bat, maybe in a re-release.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Doesn't each Persona have like an 8~10 year gap between each game?

She'd be like 16.

If Nanako was the protagonist in P5, she would definitely be silent, like the previous ones. Lets not forget that while Maya speaks in P2 IS, she is a silent protagonist in P2 EP.

(Why are you even arguing about this, it is not like Nanako has any chances of being the P5 FeMC)

Sad but true. Even in a re-release, I wouldn't be so sure, since Atlus didn't include a FeMC in Persona 4 Golden.

Who said she has to talk?

Tatsuya and Maya yo

EDIT - Beaten

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

She'd be like 16.

Gap is very short between the ending of 3 and start of 4.

 

[go4theknees]

Uhhh p3 and p4 are 2 years apart so no...

 

[Stone Ocean]

Uhhh p3 and p4 are 2 years apart so no...

I'm pretty sure those are the gaps between P1 > P2 > P3 though.

I don't know, anything's possible I guess.

 

[swnny]

Well, with all the voice actors and "more mature voice" talks, I assumed some of you want her to talk.

 

[Dantis]

They're usually set a few years in the future. Persona 3 and 4 took place three years on from when they came out.

If Persona 5 was set in 2017, Nanako would be 13.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Well, with all the voice actors and "more mature voice" talks, I assumed some of you want her to talk.

No need to talk, just moan during attacks in fights.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Nah, I wouldn't want protagonists to talk in Persona games, but they still need voice actors to record they saying "Persona!", etc.

 

[afreaknamedpete]

Nah, I wouldn't want protagonists to talk in Persona games, but they still need voice actors to record they saying "Persona!", etc.

I'm rather curious what it's like recording lines for the MC. The VA just makes some grunts and shouts the names of deities right?

Good points. ^^ I, honestly, didn't think of that.

 

[rockman zx]

This is so painful, I hope the announcement is worth.

 

[Gbraga]

Hey, only 47 hours left! Let's do this @_@

 

[Dr. Buni]

I suppose. A 'making off' video of the voice actors recording the grunts/shouts would certainly be fun to watch. lol

 

[fertygo]

Tomomi Isomura? P5 FeMC confirmed!? Start the rumors!

OMG, plz be true.. plz.

 

[dock]

Wii U exclusive.

 

[Atlas157]

Wii U exclusive.

We all know it's going to be

Spoiler

iOS exclusive in Japan only.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Ahhh they reveal teasers at Midnight.

I GET IT!

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Just woke up in time for the previous event. So they started showing stuff other than game footage, huh. That's how they'll stretch this out!

 

[Gbraga]

ResidentSleeper

whens midnight?

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Seems like it's gonna be character recaps from here on.

 

[luxuria]

A part of me wants it to be a P3/P4 game that continues from where P4A left off. I want to see Elizabeth kicking ass.

The other part of me wants a new cast.
