Mrs. Claus it is then!

Nah, she should cosplay as Jack...with a santa hat!

 

[EMT0]

You guys just want to have evidence against Dantis. I'm on to you guys.

Spoiler

Get something good

 

[Lord Scrambles]

I might draw myself a terrible Christmas avatar. Who should I draw?

Do Teddie...Santa Claws

I'm saving that screenshot of Maki thanking Dantis. There will be uses for it, I just know it.

FTFY. Man, Revelations: Persona... I'm so glad I missed that version and played P1P instead.

It's kind of funny how they left some of the sprites completely untouched between the PS1 versions in spite of all the changes they made.

 

[InsaneElite]

It's kind of crazy for me to think that all of that Persona stuff, including Persona 5, was only announced a week ago. Feels like I've known about them for so much longer.

Probably due to the lack of information. There's not really anything to digest or think about.

What really blows my mind is that it's been about a year and a half since SMT IV was announced.

Watching that stream last night reminded me on how much more I love the first two games.

Pretty sure we're going to get Persona 5 before we even hear about SMT IV. . .

For some reason Yukino is the only one who hardly changed from Revelations: Persona to Shin Megami Tensei: Persona. She went from Yukino to her nickname Yuki, her sprite and portrait is the same in both, her personality remained the same. Her Persona is the only one of the main cast and all the other Personas you can get that is not renamed, Vesta, where as others became STARION, VOODOO, and SHAMAN

I still can't get over some of the cosmetic changes to the characters. I mean Mark obviously, but why make Elly blond? Ayase is already blond... NEED MOAR BLOND I guess. It all just seems so arbitrary. Plus they removed all references to Japan; imagine if Persona 3 or 4 had that kind of localization...

*shudders*

Coulda got rid of all that weeb BS, am I right?

Was there one called PUDDING?

As for Yukino, maybe they were looking to have a token Asian.

*shudders*

If I heard right they forgot to remove a shinto shrine.
It's a good thing they learned better before EP Persona would probably be deader than dead if they didn't.

You honestly make this far too easy.

 

[Dantis]

It was a joke, you plonker, you.

even I got that plonker pls

Don't you know, we're very protective of our weeb BS here. ;-)

 

[Marche90]

Man, fuck this bomb shelter dungeon.. and the guide barely helping.. ugh

Ah, yes... that dungeon. Enjoy

Spoiler

It made me drop P2IS entirely....

Shame on you ;_;

And of our weeb wet blanket too. You're famous amongst us Persona weebs Dantis. It's time to elevate from plain old Jack Dantis to King Dantis, hee ho!

Spoiler

If you know where Philipine is, then you're set.

 

[fertygo]

I get pass the bomb shelter, hooray!
Btw the gameplay is horrible but faithfully following guide just made it even more suckier.. I enjoy it much more when I accept the guessing with trial and error mechanic of demon negotiation..

Reminds me that Phoenix Wright localization has the game set in the US.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Reminds me that Phoenix Wright localization has the game set in the US.

A choice which totally screwed them over when the second game was localized. Yup, Los Angeles sure is known for its mountainous regions and spiritual villlages

Dual Destinies justified it decently well though, as they use the excuse of Japanese immigrants to explain all of the crazy hardcore Japanese stuff.

 

[Tamanon]

Guys

We need to talk about this weirdness.

 

[Dantis]

Those graphics are amazing. Hot damn. If only P4G had looked half as good. ;_;

Also, high quality amazing art.

EDIT: Wait, is Izanagi... dancing?

EDIT: Wait, is Izanagi... dancing?

I really just wanna see Himiko dancing it'll be the most awkward thing ever

 

[Meia]

Of COURSE the personas can dance too! Can't wait to see Chie with Tomoe dancing to Kung-Fu Fighting!


Game will probably look pretty, just hope the designs aren't, well, stupid. So far, not so good.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Guys

Why does Yu's uniform still look so low-res? That annoyed me while playing the game on PCSX2.

 

[Soriku]

Those graphics are amazing. Hot damn. If only P4G had looked half as good. ;_;

It's OK P5 will look even better.

 

[InsaneElite]

Soejima's art translates very well to HD systems.

Spoiler

When's Kaneko's turn?

 

[Dantis]

This is that potential story screen I kept talking about. Seeing it full res makes it look even more like a story mode to me.

 

[animaSerah]

Here's some more!

I love that Rise's outfit is basically a pink, idol version of the Yasogami uniform.

EDIT: Wait, is Izanagi... dancing?

Yes he is, and he is making it look good.

 

[Dantis]

Feel like putting those images in quotes so that they don't engulf my screen?

 

[animaSerah]

Feel like putting those images in quotes so that they don't engulf my screen?

So that's how you "resize" images... thanks Dantis!

EDIT: Wait, you don't want Kanamin engulfing your screen?!

 

[Caladrius]

I just realized that those things hanging off of Izanagi's helmet were belts.

In fact the more I look at Izanagi the more it makes me think that Yu is a major leather fetishist.

(Finger snaps)
PERFECT

Haha so they're actually going for a full fledged story mode. Oh lordy. I wonder how they're going to rope the rest of the cast into dancing.

 

[Dantis]

EDIT: Wait, you don't want Kanamin engulfing your screen?!

Only if I want to force myself to throw up for whatever reason.

Astoundingly terrible design.

Haha so they're actually going for a full fledged story mode. Oh lordy. I wonder how they're going to rope the rest of the cast into dancing.

It even looks like a more typical story mode than P4A had. I wonder if P5 will use a similar presentation with the faces, as opposed to 2D art?

 

[Squire]

I love that Rise's outfit is basically a pink, idol version of the Yasogami uniform.

Those hot pink pumps are killing me.

 

[SloaneRisette]

...No more animal outfits.

No more Naoto more like.

I'm sure Soejima could make even her design look good if he ever were to draw her in an everyday normal non-idol outfit

 

[PK Gaming]

I kind of wish Rise went with her epilogue design. Her poofy hair makes her look kind of silly. Then again, every character that's been revealed so far looks silly.

I'm actually eagerly anticipating the new designs for the rest of the investigation team.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Kanamin has stars in her eyes. Literally.

Thanks, high res.

 

[fertygo]

Man I want P5 use full body model and portrait like that.

 

[Caladrius]

Kanamin has stars in her eyes. Literally.

Thanks, high res.

So we can confirm that she's an alien now?

I really hope Kani is Nerd!Kanji, because watching him bust a move in that outfit would be a riot.

It'll probably be Punk!Kanji though. Maybe they'll at least give him a Grease- or Footloose-inspired outfit to make up for it

 

[Marche90]

Shame on you ;_;

Some day, Buddha, some day... I need to get a PSP again or a PSV first

Guys

We need to talk about this weirdness.

About how good the character models look? Sure.

 

[Red The Hunter]

Now I see the problem with Kanami's outfit, too fruity.
