gonna post some stuff from atlusnet creator works (like a dev diary)
and a status screen:
also they made a program specifically to sort figures of mythology to arcana
all fascinating.
Thinking of all the work they must have gone through to make P5 happen is maddening. It's been five years.
It's a bittersweet deal for me, since the stuff that gets past the conceptual stage and has to be dummied out is hardly ever re-used. Kickstarter makes me anxious for similar reasons. If it doesn't go through all I see is wasted potential.
Having to sit there while the public judges what came of all that work has to be terrifying.
Who do I have to sex to make that happen?

I would love that, Megaten pre PS2 was mixed. There were great games, and there were some true stinkers. Say what you will about your personal preferences, but every single megaten in the PS2 era onward (We dont talk about NINE) has been a quality game.

definitely Makoto, he's design is probably my favorite out of all of the MC's design, not only because you look at it and you get an idea of what his personality might be (we all know that kid who sits in the back of class listening to his iPod, and puts his hands in his pockets all of the time) but also because his design fits in with the game's theme and aesthetic, P3 at its very core is a story about death, and it makes sense for the leading man to be this quiet, sarcastic, slightly goth kid (which incidentally is my biggest problem with P3P's FeMC, she's too damn chipper.)
The abandoned MaMC does retain some of those elements, but heavily toned down which makes him look a bit forgettable in comparison.
I was talking about the guy who's my current avatar.

Yeah, that's very true. It's always a bit melancholy looking at the really cool stuff that gets removed from games, especially if it was stuff that could've been in but had to be cut out because of time or money constraints.
That'd be great. I'd love to read a detailed analysis of the development of P3 and them moving away from the earlier games' style.

Oh jeez awkward haha
I'm kind of unfamiliar with the dude on your avatar, care to shed some light.
I'm more or less in this camp. I like insight into the development process as much as anyone, but total transparency in what they're doing or cutting or whatever doesn't sit right with me.
Heh, yeah, this something I've experienced with Kickstarter as well. I personally find it interesting because I'm interested in game development processes, but I've seen people in Kickstarters I've been involved with freak out over stuff that's really just part of the normal development process, you just don't see it. Cut content and delayed launches and such.
LOL
Btw I have the opposite opinion for his MC and FeMC opinion, I always like Yu's design more because its more easier to project various personality to him.
In heaven the original Sonic 2 is waiting for me.
He's pretty and he'd make a good house husband. That's about it. >__>
Persona 3 and Nocturne always just struck me as really ambitious games for a company like Atlus. They're comparable in quality to bigger titles, just as big in scope, and yet seemingly done on a fraction of the budget. It's fascinating.
There are some details on AtlusNet and in the artbooks, but having it all collected together in one big Iwata-Asks style book would be awesome.
If I was rich I would pay out the nose for Troika to reform and make a version of Arcanum that wasn't horribly broken.

Haha valid point
idk, I guess I like putting myself in others' shoes more than feeling like I am the one in the story. If that makes any kind of sense.
Nah, makes perfect sense. It's why I like FeMC so much.

Finished Episode 1 of Devil Summoner.
Uh... yeah. Not for the feint of heart. They even got away with nudity.
The gore was all kinds of campy, but it was pretty messy.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I love FeMC and her personality, I just feel like she would have belonged in P4 better than in P3.
Also dos masks.
That is really cool looking, would have preferred that over the glasses any day

ah, I forgot
Quoted from the P4 artbook
That looks fantastic, holy crap. I need to look into Persona art more seriously if this kind of quality is in there.
Soejima pls
ah, I forgot
Soejima pls
Wow, that sketch is really pretty. Makes me want to see a more woodsy rural setting in a Persona game, with forest temple and stuff.
Also, those masks are pretty cool. Shame they were tossed out.
Its neat alternative though, I like to have FeMC as caring leader that sticking cupid arrow to the rest of party.. daww
Wearing mask is kinda silly though lol
I dunno, I think the glasses were a much better decision going forward. Glasses keep the face visible, don't give off weird Super Sentai vibes, and they're less... I dunno, on the nose than putting on a different, literal mask to invoke your Persona. Less heavy-handed, I should say. Plus, glasses are much more stylish!

Wow all of this discussion about early designs and the artistic method are REALLY getting me hyped for 5. Can't wait to see what they've come up with.
also according to the P3 artbook, the evokers were orginally going to have tarot cards in them, and Hermes was orginally the MC's persona.
Me too. I'm fascinated about early designs. I might save some P5 info/screens/movies for the future to compare to the final product.

Makes sense, Hermes is the "quintessential fool" after all, he represents travelers, journeys, and new beginnings, much like the Fool Arcana.
I was wondering why he was better than most of the other initial personas
That's so 90's, they're obviously going to scan the cards with their phones.

All hell will break loose if they using clothes as the themes,
Sounds pretty Kamen Rider.

Kill La Persona
I would say the internet as a means of summon in general, but DeSu already kinda did that idea.

And I remember why Igor was so baller.
Doesn't mean they can't do it again. I have this feeling that mass communications are going to be an even bigger aspect than they were in P4.
Also holy jizzballs we jumped nearly 7 pages today.
Whatever they do, I hope it avoids feeling tacky, which DeSu couldn't get around.
I was thinking about that, but portability might be a thing . . . seems a bit too on the nose, too.
Vin Diesel is a big nerd, so he might be down. The rest of the details will just work out on their own.
The Adolescence of Persona.
I think they do talk about it in the Creator Works dev dairy, but my japanese is terrible.
funny thing is, the glasses/masks were almost kicked out of the game.

Persona: Five and Furious
Somebody needs to get on contacting Mr. Diesel ASAP
I can see it now, it'll be like card games on motorcycles, except without card games...or motorcycles...or terribleness.
We also need Dwayne Johnson for this
...Levito?
Levito is asleepo. But fear not, for when you call for him, The Rock will come.
Eventually. Heroes always arrive late, after all.
about that....
Notice the tarot cards, no evokers. Also, one Female Protagonist concept looks like the good old Female Protagonist we know today, but with longer hair. The other is basically Yukari Takeba.
and soejima assumed Yukari was the female MC.

Yea I knew about that, but I wasn't completely sure, so I just went with what thr page said. Funny how that worked out though!
