I'd be willing to bet a whole lot that it is absolutely not a concert.

I've always maintained that this is game related, and I have full confidence that it will be. Not too sure Teddie means that this is Persona 4 related, either. Though, it could be.

You've maintained the whole time that it's Persona 5. Whilst still possible, your whole "It is absolutely Persona 5" thing is looking a liiiiittle bit sketchy right now.
 
The code for sharing on twitter has 'P4U2' in it. I still feel like location tests in those cities is the most likely thing.

Huh? I NEVER said that it would be Persona 5. What are you talking about?

You're the one being sketchy.

It's definitely game related, I was joking. It says it's game related in the tags of the webpage.

I'm still saying Persona 5.
 
Will post here too:

The code has P4U2 because the teaser site was made with copy paste from P4U2's original site reveal. It's a thing all companies do, especially for small sites like this.
They are commented.

Irregardless, this is not Persona 5 and it's most likely related to P4U2.

The dream is dead... for now...

Hm, well why would there be a separate teaser website for P4A2 when it already has two other websites (Atlus' and ASW's)? If it's because the announcement is so big that it required its own teaser website to contain it, then what could that possibly be? A character reveal wouldn't even suffice, one would think.

And why wouldn't they have done something like this for the first game, which has more of a "surprise factor" than this game?

Hm.

Really?

I'm probably getting mixed up.


Have we considered it could be the arcade release date for P4A2?

Yes, you're definitely getting mixed up. Don't really appreciate the false accusations.

And yes, we've considered that since the beginning.

Srsly there are still three boxes, this could still be P5. We're so close to knowing now anyway. I always thought this would be P4U2 + Another Game + Something stupid

Till then Teddies confirmed

I agree completely, P4U2 is no secret, so there would be no need for this, or for them to not include the ARC systems logo.

It may not be Persona 5, but I definitely don;t think it's P4U2.

You know, I was just starting to believe it might actually be P5, and then Atlus brings me kicking and screaming back to into reality.

If this turns out to be fucking nothing again, I think I'm done until an actual confirmation comes out.

Sorry!

Yeah, it's definitely copy and paste, the Facebook button has the web address for the first arena game in it's code "http://p-atlus.jp/p4u/"

Code:
<!-- <a href="#" onclick="window.open('https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u='+encodeURIComponent('http://p-atlus.jp/p4u/')+'&t='+encodeURIComponent('http://p-atlus.jp/p4u/'),null,'width=550px,height=350px');return false;"><img src="img/common/facebook.png"></a> -->

Had some nice convos in iirc, and wanted to broach the subject here and get some other thoughts on it. Massive P4 spoils ahoy about our new lovable bear mascot overlord!



Something I've been thinking of for awhile, and kind of just popped up now since they're using Teddie on like everything now.


What exactly IS the future of Teddie? Thinking about it, a part of almost all of the others social links meetings(including the 11th one) is them talking about the future and plans. Teddie....kind of doesn't though iirc. What are his limits? Is he immortal? Can he age? They kind of open a can of worms with a character like this, that has similar problems to Aigis for example. Unlike Aigis who will probably always have someone to take care of what she needs however, does Teddie? Suppose he can't age. Cool, he's covered for the lifespan of the 4's cast. Then what? If he can't age, can he even stay in one spot for too long?


I guess the question is how "human" is Teddie now?




Teddie as the new Igor in P5 that takes place 30 years later confirmed. :p
 
B-but the hosts...the ip... Idk

It's probably Atlus seeing us get too hype and deciding that it would ruin the announcement for some reason, so they put something completely unrelated to dampen our hype.

25 pages in 2 days. I'm officially giving up on following everything that's happening in this thread.

On a completely unrelated note, Imagine P5's combat going action based.... I say this because of this thread that popped up, even though there's basically a 0% chance of it happening (unless they, for whatever reason, feel like revisiting Raidou Kuzunoha in the persona series). I would be very sad if this happened.
 
I don't see it becoming an action RPG, But they have to update the game from PS2-era mechanics big time.

In all honesty, I find the turn based battle system the least appealing aspect of the series, It's all about the story and characters.

Battle systems* rarely are meant to enrapture players. Persona should hopefully know their strengths as a franchise over the mainline, which has way more interesting mechanics. Still though, I'd agree. I hope they do some gameplay changes, persona has had a lot of changes over time and One More! Is a bit stale after using it so much.

*in most JRPGs
 
Everyone has paper, ergo a Persona pen and paper RPG using GURPs.

I'm not ashamed to say that I was working on a Persona tabletop RPG earlier this year. Almost completed the dungeon-crawling and combat rules, too.

Also, this was not what I was expecting to see on p-ch.jp. I know it's not definitive yet, but the whole match-3 thing with Teddie's faces, coupled with the cities, has me thinking pachinko...

I'm a sad panda right now. A beary sad panda.

also if you click on a city while they're shaking they shake for even longer....this has to mean somethiong.

That's just a bug, it was probably done in a hurry as you can see bits and pieces of copy/paste in the source code.
If you click on a trembling element before it stops it will never stop until you click on it again.
Badly handled mouse/touch events :p
