Doesn't mean SEGA owns them (Atlus) that they can say anything about their releases. They have let Atlus keep full control of their operations (which includes game projects and related merchandise). So Atlus could publish the games they want, when they want. So... not happening with the Persona Team since they only on console games.

Love the art
Guess 2d artworks for conversations won't return? Daaaamn
We don't know, we haven't even seen a conversation yet.

I feel somewhere in there everything they're doing will somehow be a metaphor for this.
P3P and P4G really bored me, but that new trailer is really incredible. I enjoy the style so far a lot more than the other two games - very bold color choices, and the MC looks super cool.
The only thing that sticks out to me it that cat, having a feline mascot is such a generic trope. But other than that, the visual style is very cool! I love that the classic SMT demons are enemies again, the samey shadow enemies in P3/P4 were interesting sometimes but got really old quickly.
And I hope there really are proper dugeons, these RNG hallways were terrible and most likely a budget restriction - seems like they really poured production money into this new game!

Wait what? Didn't they show those in the trailer?

What we did seen was those tears showing the character's faces, so that could very much mean the 2D art should appear at least somewhere.

What an excellent birthday present from Atlus
Fair enough. I should probably be thankful that we're even getting this on PS4.
It's fair.
Imo it looks more like a red izanagi but whatever, you got the point.
I'm more inclined to believe it's the game than the player or the video (unless that screen-tearing somehow made it past all the quality checks) and since it's the only instance in the entire video and doesn't happen during the all out attack...yeah.
I mean, we'll know for sure when Gamersyde hopefully delivers true HQ footage.
Enough will be in there.
My biggest concern for the game was sticking too close to the settings and tropes of P3 and P4, but this looks like it shattered them by going in quite a different direction. The game still starts with the academic year, but it seems like you play as a bunch of delinquents, or good-students-gone-bad as vigilantes. Seems interesting and stylish.
I still have concerns for the game, such as:
- How well will dungeon crawling be integrated with the time mechanics? This was P3 and P4's biggest whiffs.
- Technical issues. Load times in P3 and P4 on PS2 were terrible.
- DLC. SMT4 and Persona Q DLC are both disconcerting.

They better have a red P5 themed PS4 release in NA because I desperately want something like that!!
ye, we haven't seen any conversations, but the general vibe for me is that 2d artworks won't be there

Yeah, I understand what you're going on, I just don't really agree that it's a lazy rehash. Izanagi has a long gakuran, "Joker" has a trenchcoat, that's about it.

Oh my God you actually do play as a Phantom Thief in this. That's amazing. I never knew I wanted a game like that until it appeared.

Work has been kicking my ass hard, so I wasn't able to keep up with the stream. Really glad this was up when I finally got a break though.
Couldn't watch it with sound, but it looks amazing as expected. I don't think I need to see anything else, just give it to me.
I didn't see a release date though.

Nooope...I played around 30hrs of P4 and P3 and my major complaint was the highschool drama with the clubs and nonessential highschool characters, and the "date" sections. I didnt mind interactions with the towns folk and other characters, because it was actually interesting an not "highschool tv drama 101"
Huh, must have missed their acquistion of Sega then. But before that their hands were kinda tied as you say

Now Sony just has to announce the Vita successor so I can buy every conceivable version of this game that will ever be released.
I really like the Catherine vibe I got with some of the art.

That's the main character in the Velvet Room.
In case you're too old to remember, high school drama typically happens in high school. P4 is a reasonably genuine depiction of teenagers discovering their identities (sexual, societal, etc.) seen through the lens of a JRPG.

They've got different last names. Just saying.
Sony won't release another handheld.

Good job man! I like this UI a lot. Everything about this trailer oozes quality. I really can't wait to get my hands on this and just play around with the UI.
Actually come to think of it, the concept behind the UI I think is quite similar to FF XIII UI (the one when you browse through characters). There's a split second animation before the game displaying the UI text which I thought is a simple, neat idea.
Wait...
I just noticed, and maybe this has already been pointed out..
This guy, isn't that just the main character? He has the same eye color, and hair style just minus the glasses. Maybe this is some form of shadow self?
For me he looks more like Vincent from Catherine and less like the MC without his glasses. The hair is not that similar.
Oh... Interesting..? Why is he chained up then and looks like he's ready to kill someone? Never was like that in P4 and P3.. Unless somehow their repressed feelings come through the Velvet Room now?

Yeah he's the main character. That's the new velvet room from what we've seen. And no, I doubt that's his shadow because we have this:
Which shows the main character with obvious shadow eyes.
Highschool drama in a highschool. Who woulda thunk?

Yes it is. You can see the twins from the Velvet Room just outside the cell too. Probably has to do with the "You are slave" thing they had going on.

Your right, but I can still hope to dip as many times as possible into this pool.

Persona 3's casts are of the 2nd and 3rd years of high school (minus Ken) while Persona 4's are of the 1st and 2nd. We don't actually know of what grade the Persona 5 characters mostly are, but the mark on the MC's collar suggest that he's in the 2nd year.
Velvet room being a jail cell would be really interesting and fitting.
