Same for me, but still, ugh. She felt forced; like the game was constantly saying "please care about her, please", which it perfectly understandable considering she's a new addition and needed for the epilogue, but she still didn't leave a pleasant taste in my mouth.

Have you seen FFXV? There is also tales and KH. They tried to experiment with raidou but it didn't really work IMO. We have the social Sim game, we have a SRPG and of course mainline SMT. A well executed action RPG would fit nicely under the megaten umbrella IMO.
edit: I don't want persona 5 to be a action rpg because I feel like the s links are it's gimmick and I would rather have a new ip that does action. Them turning it into a tales clone wouldn't surprise me though.
They should have made her a party member and introduced her earlier, and then made her S Link consist of more than just "OH HEY, IT'S YUKIKO AND TEDDIE HOW CRAZY".
They also went waaay too far with the tsundere thing.

Oh hey, it's Marie-chan!
You also forgot Chie, Yosuke, Kanji, Rise, Naoto, and Yu and how they all had whacky banter and stood around and had fun laughing and dear lord attempting to summarize it is making me physically ill.
Are those your friends? They're ok, I guess.
I-it's not like I want to go anywhere with you or anything!
Urgh.
Yup. Complete garbage.

Like I've said before, I think her design is meant to be an alternative fashion sense as a way of saying that she's from another world. The tartan, the belt, the sleeves, the paperclips on her tie, etc. all look pretty Scene to me. Even her terrible haircut does, I guess.
Marie not even among original cast, so.....

also, SHO's scar glows?!
I can't say which face I like the most between Akihiko and Kanji lol
I'd like if they did that for the party members more than anything else. They already did that a bit in Golden, but the party members need to be able to do SOMETHING the man character can't. Off the top of my head, maybe something like a pair of twins who take up a single party spot. They don't learn anything above medium-level skills, but their shtick is that they can perform an attack skill twice.
You're joking, but I would love if Atlus got involved in a crazy crossover. Kingdom Hearts is already a known quantity at this point, but it'd be great if there was just another collaboration to make everyone go "WUT?"
No Ventus, Mickey, Riku and Aqua S. Links, no sale.
B-but romancing ducks! Hatoful Boyfriend proves that relationships with birds can totally work.
Donald isn't a bird so much as a bird-man so. And Disney-shipping is brain-breaking even in jest.
That said I have the urge to ram KH characters into Arcana now. Thanks, PersonaGAF. >:[

Why are they sitting in such a dark room?
They're listening to Junpei's scary story.

lol, honestly, the pictures make it look like Akihiko is looking at Makoto with loving eyes only for Makoto to looks back looking like he's thinking "what the **** are you doing?"

Oh god, it's like he's staring right at my soul.
I know it's a still image, but that does not instill in me much hope of developing an actual character for Makoto. And yet, it's the most perfect screen of the movie representing the game to date. 
My favorite thing about Marie was Naoto isn't in any part of her social links, and in fact it kind of awkwardly stops before she's there(I'm almost positive she can be maxed before Naoto joins, and there's absolutely no lines between the two at all). It's almost like they know that the reason for Marie's link would be fundamentally broken if there was a detective that had connections or something.

Hey guys, first post here. Huge Persona fan. I'm about to finish watching Persona 4: The Animation. Is Persona: Trinity soul a good watch?
I skipped it because it wasn't an animated P3, I'm waiting for the movie to come out.
Depends what you want I guess.

She looks like the Seventeen magazine version of alternative. The "I got a $100 gift card for Hot Topic" version of alternative. Fake edgey and lame.
General thoughts on her:
Her design is dumb but it's hardly the worst thing about her. As other have said her slink is like a greatest hits for all of the other characters. They're more on display than she is in a lot of those scenes. And we're supposed to care about her by the time we get to her incredibly tedious dungeon? No way. I'm supposed to buy that any of the other characters give a shit about her when they've only interacted maybe twice before? Just terrible all around and I'm honestly shocked that anyone who played the original P4 could think her character was a worthwhile addition to the story.

I would have designed Marie to be a down to earth, kind of jaded character. A female version of Makoto or some such, to match the fact that
she's actually Izanami, instead of ruining her character.

Makoto: "....Is he flirting with me?"
I'm sorry you can't deal with how hot things are getting, but you're in denial if you think the mop from Fantasia doesn't have the hots for Eega Beeva.

That would be an interesting idea, though they would have to execute how they did it really well so they don't feel like really gimmicky party members and just there to be different. I think another interesting idea would be if the other party members besides the MC could turn into their personas, ala Digital Devil Saga. That would make for interesting battle mechanic if they did it right.
Persona X DotHack or Persona X Little Tail Bronx, if those were to happen I think I would be laughing for days on end if that were to happen.
Already have the perfect music to go along with that meltdown.
Yeah, they'd have to be really careful to avoid that. Even my idea sounds a bit gimmicky, too. Still, even if they just had more exclusive skills that they learn throughout the game instead of the end, I think that'd be enough.
And I'm still holding out hope on that Persona X Burger King Kids' Club crossover. I want something that seems as outlandishly stupid when it gets announced.
Still, I was laughing pretty hard when Hyrule Heroes got announced.

We have our new banner:

But I guess knowing if it has any demon recommendations would be nice.

Soul Hackers MC could break his jaw with a backhand. Those gauntlets are pretty heavy.

I'm not really a big fan of raidou's combat.
-animations are terrible
-sound effects are terrible
-limited moveset
-terrible feedback, combat is not satisfying(enemies react like raidou's sword is made from cardboard)
-focus on demon management also killed the game for me.
-repetitive (would have actually been better if it was a traditional SMT Game)
I just don't think you can shoe horn traditional megaten elements into a action game (which is exactly what they tried to do). Demon negotiation and demon management just doesn't work in a real time setting. If they do another action rpg it needs to have a similar concept to Digital Devil Saga or even Persona, little to no focus on demons and more emphasis on the characters. They were a nice experiment though.

Don't forget he (and pretty much everyone else in the banner) can stomp him out with their demons in the real world!

Soul Hackers MC, who I refer to as Spooky Hacker, is the most boring Megaten MC.
cj_iwakura
Member
You're the most boring MC. He's a boss. He takes on Finnegan solo and doesn't afraid of anything.
I don't really like his design, honestly. Although it's not like this series has a lot of protagonists that are filled with personality.

Well...that is true, anyone who can stand up to that Xiahou Dun voiced motherhacker should get some props.
...but he is actually a pretty cool rival character, plus I LOVED the fights you have with him, I loved the summoner and demons vs summoner and demons fights in SH, cuz they felt like legit summoner vs summoner fights.

Well, they're meant to be blank slates. I think SH actually has more personality than most.
He looks like he's been in some scraps. Could tell people he's an supporting party member and they'd probably believe it.
