I wonder who's going to be the person who's fast enough to claim it as their avatar?
P5 art?
Depends on... things.

Is that issue gonna have info on 5? or is it just about the other two?

It had a tiny interview with Hashino about P5's themes, it got a thread.

Oh nevermind I saw that, just thought it was something different.

You know, I'm curious to see the whole cast. I'll take who I can get and I don't expect everyone to dump their PQ avatar. Still waiting on P4D art, too!
That is one stylish avatar. Honestly, I can say with confidence that (current) Narukami is his best drawn character.
The Narukami army grows by day. Pretty soon we'll take over PersonaGAF.
I forbid you from changing your avatar. Levito too. Cute gals >>> Chie!Rock & 2spooky.

I'll eventually grab the inevitable Magician-arcana bro character maybe
The first issue of the new run of Persona Magazine releases on the 5th in Japan. Hopefully that has new info of some sort in it. Would suck if they just regurgitate everything that was in Famitsu/Dengeki a week prior.
Could be big though! The fact it's out on the 5th can't be coincidence. They could debit characters/screens in the magazine and release a real trailer early next year.
Edit: Basically, I'm hoping they don't treat P5 like a fucking Square Enix game, where they announce it and then disappear for months on end.

Maybe one the party members will be of the Devil arcana this time around. Considering the themes of this game and what the card symbolizes, that could be interesting.

Eh, as long as there's an actual date to look forward to, I don't really care much about seeing a lot of Persona 5 details. In fact, I'd probably be fine if the only thing we saw of it before its release was an official logo.
It'd at least make it easier for me to not have to intentionally avoid certain details to not spoil certain elements of the game for me.
They should at least have a character of the Hermit arcana or another that hasn't ever been a party member's arcana in a Persona game before.

Now your just making me excited into how the next protagonist will initially summon his persona.
They took like 3 months for SMT IV info. I'd imagine we get something in a similar timeframe or hopefully sooner.

Don't you mean Artemis, Maia is a completely different persona.
Caught that particular error myself, and duly edited.
Apollo is pretty awesome, though:

^I don't like the evoker, it just seems 2edgy4me, and silly.
in game Seimen Kongou is mediocre, but LOOK AT THIS GUY in official art

The Persona 5 chairs? Why are you trying to get it off of Youtube when we have the actual image?
(P3 The Answer spoilers)
Aigis' summon didn't use an evoker and it was pretty awesome as well. Yu's just sucked.

I've come to the conclusion that nothing beats Evokers for cool summonings.
If by "cool" you mean "really cheesy," then no doubt.

I don't plan to go too crazy. I knows there's going to be a certain point where I go on black out, but to start I really wanna see the cast. I might even skip personality descriptions; I just wanna see Soejima's work.
Doesn't sound too bad at all!
Eh, Yu's are my favorite.. simple and get the message done, btw no more suicide hijink plz for summon.
I can't agree with this at all. Even Eikichi's summon was better than Yu's.
The first time they awaken to their other self isn't supposed to be "simple." If any moment is meant to be dramatic, that's it.
The whole set up for the first time Makoto awakens to his Persona in Persona 3 as well as the scene's direction and the danger it represented was just fantastic.

I don't think there's anything cooler than shooting your head to summon. In-game I thought it was totally badass when you use those skills that use two Personas and his head reels back when he summons, too awesome.
I like the detail of everyone shooting themselves in the head differently, and how it actually does a good job of conveying who they are.
Yep. This was also a good detail in P4, like Yosuke doing his jump, Chie doing her kick, Naoto shooting the card, etc.

Ouch!
I thought that Yu's was awakening pretty good. Not on the same level as Makoto obviously, but they did a good at setting it up. I really dig Izanagi's speech (I am thou...Thou art I...The time has come...Open thy eyes...And call forth what is within!) and the look of utter satisfaction on Yu's face was great. The scene does a great job at conveying that he now has "the power" to change his destiny.
"Awakening" as a theme song really got the blood pumping too.
Its just looked damn cool with spell like Zio lol
Like he summon the thunder from angle from his back when you use spell in the game.
Evoker on other hand not as seamless for create similar immersion, same for Yosuke that doing unnecessary backflip.
Something with handcuffs might be cool for this thing.
This one is odd

I dunno, Devil Summoner or something
I think a lot of people think to start (I know I did), but once you realize P3 is all about the inevitability if death, it fits resale well.
I do think the glasses in P4 are better though. They represent seeing through the fog and the lies; uncovering the mystery and the conspiracy. The pursuit of truth, man. They're much more subtle.
Not going to lie, it looks like they're scissoring each other.
This one is odd
Having sex with a shadow, WHAT.

It would have been alright had it been a way that only a single character chose to summon their persona, as a way to convey something about that character. Having everyone do it just makes it seem like a stylistic choice made only to seem edgy or "hardcore."
It's a metaphor! For... something!
I think the themes for Five would allow for a lot more arcana choices that would lend themselves towards creating more tragic characters, particularly The Tower. Still, I just hope they don't go too overboard by making EVERYONE anti-heroes.

And now I can't unsee it lol
It'd sure be a different group dynamic than P3 or P4, though.
I think the best part about P3's evokers is that they only used them in P3. That's important. I'm fine with them as long as they remain contained to that game because I think they're pretty key to the overall themes of the game. If they had kept on using it because it was "so iconic" or whatever, the effect would have been lost.
Re: Evokers
I'm probably the only person here who thinks that they're legitimately cool. The concept of pushing yourself to the brink death to summon your Persona is just so appealing to me, and I like how each and every one of the characters look really stylish when summoning their Persona. (excluding Ken) It flows well with (all 3) of the P3 battle themes. IDK, I just think they're super cool in P3.
I guess i'm just weird.

The point of it is to invoke terror, stress, etc. to summon a Persona. I think it works fine in context.
