I would be thrilled if there were only these four playable characters.

Persona 5 New Trailer

I can't believe that Keiji Inafune really said that back then... some devs still care about the games we want to play.
I feel like the game would have been better without Youske and Teddie.
I doubt it honestly. I would not be surprise to see more and better than this.
With how long this game has been in development at least slightly? You think they have time to greatly enhance the PS4 version?
I mean I hope so, but I don't think so. To me, a nice 60fps @ 1080p would be enough for me... but I'll settle for locked 30fps with no drops and 1080p

Eh, it was harder than
- Persona 4
- Digital Devil Saga
- Devil Summoner 2
- Persona Q
- SMT IV (past early game)
It would be great if you can keep the party at the same level, but there seems to be a fifth that everyone seems to be referring to. The one on the signs, though I hope that is a navigator
What? No, no no ... DDS was bonkers regarding difficulty, I never finished it, because I sucked (at that time
Yep, the problem with P3 was the fatigue system, but DDS (specially the first for me) were HARD. Never had to grind for P3 but I did quite a lot of grinding in DDS.
Both DDS are not SMTIII levels of difficulty either, but all in all the Persona games are the easy mode games in the Megaten universe.

Always worth remembering that in most Persona/SMT games, the exp gains scale, so leveling up underleveled people isn't nearly as bad as it looks at first.

You are so beary wrong.
I liked the trailer. The glimpses of the changes look good. I hope the music isn't the main theme or the battle music. I wish that they showed some personas in action too. I hope they don't transform into personas. I feel like that would greatly limit how many personas there will be.
Persona 1 was wildly uneven due to the inability to even get cards from Demons until you were at their level. One of the worst mechanics in an SMT game, IMO. Also, the horrible save point placement escalated the difficulty in wrong ways.
I really disagree with that. Most of those at least had Hard modes, to boot. If we're comparing Normal modes (but why?), then I'll give you Persona 4 and Persona Q. SMT IV's opening is such a kick in the crotch that I wouldn't bump that lower. DDS is the one I'd actually note as an SMT with a single-difficult level, the one that is best-balanced. Lots of exciting boss fights. Devil Summoner 2 had a few rough boss fights strewn throughout its short length, like the Fiend battles. Devil Summoner 1 was easy, IMO, other than the last boss.
I don't think Atlus knew how to balance the new game formula for in Persona 3. Both revisions, P4, and P4 Golden added difficulty levels which helped out a lot.
I should note that Persona 3's last boss is my least favorite boss fight ever, so I'm just dismissing all of that Charm-into-Diarahan bullshit.

Persona 5 just shot way up my most wanted list after watching that trailer. I try not to let myself get too hyped up, but damn that looked slick. Looks like Atlus is improving the dungeons too.
As in, these menus are really goddamn impressive. Other video games need to step up.
Can you imagine another video game showing off their UI in their reveal trailer?
Not necessarily since in Persona Q, for example, you have to boost at least 3 party members. This doesn't guarantee one though, it's just that 3 is the bare minimum. The more members that are in boost state by the end of the turn, the higher chance there is of an all-out attack!

God, I have watched this trailer like 10 times... this, FFXV and Xenoblade X make this year so awesome =D

Persona 2 Innocent Sin PSP is also incredibly easy.

I would be very very disappointed.
If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, you may want to get a PS Vita to remote play this game while still spending some time with him/her. LOL

Oh crap, I just noticed this:
The phantom descends onto the city before the explosion shoots up. That could lend some credence to him becoming his persona.
Could this also be the intersection we saw in that first reveal trailer? Where the blue sparks appear and the MC is the only one noticing them? Maybe that's how he gets his Persona.

The bolded is actually the the only thing that I'm disappointed in so far and I hope there's more that haven't been shown yet. P4G probably did have a little bit too much going on but that gave it some replay value if you didn't have enough time to get everyone's backstory done in the first playthrough. If we only have 4 characters in the group and one is a cat I really hope the stories of characters not in the group will be a bit more fleshed out.
Well that's just crazy talk.
Yosuke was probably the most integral character outside of the MC.
I can't believe that Keiji Inafune really said that back then... some devs still care about the games we want to play.
Inafune is a businessman who cares about sales. In that sense, he wasn't wrong. Still isn't. At least, in his mind. Remember, he came from Capcom.

But it used time/days/money... time/days/money you could need to get your waifu.
I dont have anything against more Social Links. But focusing on a smaller group of people that are actually in your party is a plus for me. It also means the persona team can spent more time developing those characters instead of focusing that every character gets enough "screen time".
Didnt the director say that the Main cast is nearly batshit crazy?
I bet the BDSM jail dungeon will be great.
Haha this game knows me

Even Persona has heists before GTAV.
True but Boosting came from Etrian Odyssey right? I think the press turn system will be back in some form.
I'm getting really sick of it!
Sweet!! I have SMT IV on 3DS but haven't played it yet (and I loved Persona 4 Golden on Vita). Still stuck playing Pokemon Sapphire.
A part of me really wants to, because I've matured a bit with all the other SMT games in the last few years, but I have also spoiled myself the ending for DDS and feel somewhat less inclined to try it again now
But still, I think the majority of Atlus fans think DDS is way harder than any other Persona game ...

SMTIV is amazing. What are you waiting for?

So are people saying that they might be going the DDS route where you transform into your Persona? Hopefully if so you can still have more than one, though I suppose that would be a massive drain on technical stuff. Forgive me if this is obvious I've had really bad insomnia all week.

Also they count as types of attacks, so you had enemies that would reflect sword attacks but die to gun attacks and etc.
Depth!
I wouldn't mind a smaller cast because they never properly use a large cast in gameplay. I wish an RPGS that has like 7 characters but only lets you use 3 or 5 would have a final boss where all 7 fought because the boss was designed in a way to be so challenging that all 7 were needed.
I know... I would have been surprised too. As far as I know, the Persona Team always had good relationships with SCE.
