At least one person is.
Wow, this guy did an impressive job of emulating Arena's style.

To be honest, you'd have to be incredibly stupid to not see through that facade.
It's a great illustration, but a part of me dies every time I see it
Oh, sorry. Yeah, it's one of those things that's kind of a spoiler but everyone's kind of internalized it at this point. It's not really that big of a deal, though.
Yeah, um, I didn't either. I was more pre-occupied about who might be a killer that that kind of thing didn't even cross my mind to not take at face value.
Not to mention I think that was the first game I ever played that something like that came up in. At least if memory serves. But yeah, we're sorry about that one. There's some things we take at face value in terms of spoiling, and that's one that people by and large forget is something a new player doesn't find out til, well, late.
Then again, grand scheme, it's fairly small considering other things. Still, sorry.
To be honest, this is a shitty comment.
Very much so.
How is it a shitty comment? I also thought it was pretty obvious, at least in the English version.
And yet you chose that very outfit, instead of the various others you could have drawn her in.
Good for you guys, no need to be a dickhead about it.
I was drawing all the Halloween outfits, plonka.
May I ask how I was being a dickhead?
Wasn't referring to you, sorry if it seemed like that.

I'm not saying people who didn't realize Naoto is a girl are stupid, but I am saying you'd fit in well with the rest of the investigation team.
Yeah, but are you saying anyone who didn't catch it are incredibly stupid?
Oh, okay. I understand now.
Ahhh, so that's your excuse.
Those effectively mean the same thing, though.

Why don't you think it'll happen? That sounds very plausible. Spend 60$ on P5 digitally and then stream it from your PS4/VITA or what ever.

Let's say it's more "unobservant" rather than "stupid"
Yes, this is a better word for it.
Because streaming isn't free, particularly with the amount of data games would need to stream in comparison to something like movies. Say that, by volume, games and movies require the same amount of data in a given amount of time. Movies are about two hours, whereas with Persona, we're talking about a game people play for tens to hundreds of hours, sometimes several times in a row. When you have a lot of people streaming at once, Sony certainly would rack up a significant amount of costs.
I haven't seen the magazine yet, but it's interesting that the P5 logo is similar to the one in the video. They basically ditched all traces of Japanese text with the P3 and P4 logos, so it'd be cool if they're representing a shift in focus just by reintroducing it. It's clearly fake, but not because of the choice in typeface.
If I remember right, the first trailer used Helvetica Neueu Condensed, which doesn't really have a good Japanese counterpart. Part of the reason English-based logos are so common in Japan is because there are so few Japanese fonts (since a usable font needs to have hundreds to thousands of characters drawn). (Also, most logos with Japanese characters are commissioned and custom made, meaning that the only letterforms that exist period are those in the logo). Plus, it's generally easier to match typefaces across languages if they all have serifs, whether it be English, Japanese, or Russian. So I actually wouldn't be surprised if the next trailer uses them, assuming it has any Japanese text instead of "you are slave."
I don't know. Even the Giant Bomb guys caught on to it (P4 spoilers) immediately and they can be pretty unobservant at times.
It's the same voice actress in P4, Arena and Golden.
Screw the anime for not using the same voice actor. Now everyone makes assumptions.
Normally I'd agree, but considering that there are so many factors that can play into this sort of thing on the production side, like miscasts, I can't blame them for being willing to suspend their disbelief.
What if Naoto really was just an androgynous dude with a higher pitched voice? Remember that he would be a high schooler, so not many guys would be able to remove enough resonance from their voice to fit in that gray area. So you cast a women to do it and have her add resonance. Depending on both the actress and the director, the performance could really belie who the character actually is.
It's probably because Bang Zoom didn't know who it was when they recorded the anime for Sentai. PCB would, since they recorded the game, but legally, they can't release that info without the artist's consent. I think even Michelle Ann Dunphy said on the podcast that Naoto's normal vice actress might be union, so if she was outed, she'd be kicked out of the union and have her reputation tarnished throughout the entire industry. So, unable to find her, they just recast the role.

Worse than dead...forgotten.
My mistake.
Atlus should have just handled the anime themselves instead of Sentai. Ugh.

All I'm hoping if they do bring over P3 movies, whoever dubs it should be in contact with ATLUS USA in some way or atleast be coladbrating with them.
Fansub probably won't take long. Offical release probably by the end of next year.
I've heard that Junpei's Believe It or Don't was animated (as shown by pan-hime's posts), but not in the theatrical release. Odd...

Not really, Naoto seemed like the typical effeminate male in anime, The Japanese voice also made it seem more ambiguous.
I thought that people usually didn't do fansubs of camrips. If that'd be the case, I wouldn't really expect a fansub until it'd actually be out on DVD/Blu-ray.
And I thought that the Believe it or Don't shots from the P3M website were just teases for movie #2.
She was way better hidden in the anime, but I think the VA they used in the game is perhaps too obvious.
Vinny and Jeff get it right away, though they get confused as to whether the game is actively trying to fool them or not

That can't be, since Believe It or Don't was in relation to the ghost story about the school during the "rescue Fuuka" arc, and the first movie supposedly ends after the fight against the Emperor and Empress Shadows.
In fairness I only just met Naoto. Like I just got done to the part where
Kanji is on the Midnight channel and Yosuke's freaking out.
I mean I'm sure it isn't a big spoiler, but I only just met Naoto.
Sorry Corvo
As many times as I've done it on accident to others, I forgive. Like I said, I guess it isn't a big spoiler, so I'm not worried. It's going to make the rest of the
"Is Kanji gay?" arc sort of strange to sit through, now.
Ah, I actually didn't know when the first movie ended. If that's the timeline and the daily shots from P3M are actually supposed to be from movie #1 but didn't make it in the theatrical release, I guess they would be cut content for the home release?
If anything, it just makes it weirder
They probably couldn't, since I'm sure a lot of the skills and avenues for publishing games can't just be transplanted over to DVD and blu-ray publishing. It's not even really Sentai's fault in this case, except for maybe having Bang Zoom contracted to do the recording in advance before everything was sorted out. They would've translated and localized the script to hand over, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had no idea Naoto's actress is still unknown.
Even with non-union actors not being credited for their stuff, it's usually easy to figure out who did what, since most of these actors are going to keep auditioning for roles. It's very rare when an actor does a one-off performance and even rarer when they remain unknown for five years. Sentai probably assumed it would've been easy to track her down, but with no one claiming to have done it, Bang Zoom had to do the best with what they had.
I think Sentai sucks, but in this case, I can't really blame them.

I'm still fine tuning the Vita wallpapers for this set to get them just right, and they'll be following soon-ish. And, as more characters are revealed on the official Persona Q website I'll get started on wave #2.
Enjoy my friends!
