Btw Emancipation? FeMC only? (Like P4, MC only)
I know that word not exclusive for female movement, but maybe they gonna touch Japan's sexism as theme.

Emancipation contains no connotations if gender

 

[Frozenprince]

No chance in hell lol.

About the theme...I guess the students are like slaves to the school? Will be interesting.

They didn't go for the highly predicted internet theme it seems.

It's early yet.

After all, what are a lot of people but slaves to social media/the internet?

 

[Moonlight]

I'd love Atlus to touch on sexism. The same company that writes all their female so desperate to please the main character.

uh

[Lord Scrambles]

I was wrong, my hype didn't get replaced by grief, my grief got replaced by hype! So what if they make a chibi game? It don't matter, what matters is that Persona 5 was announced!

A slavery theme? This sorta gives credence to the whole "Egyptian/other Middle Eastern mythology as the theme for Personas (even though the ancient Egyptians never really had slaves.) The only thing I hope now is that they don't use personas from any Sub-Saharan African regions... might be a tad insensitive.

 

[Frozenprince]

That was fast.

Never underestimate the internet.

 

[Spectrasonic]

What's this about Adachi in P4A2? I missed that announcement.

Egyptian mythos would be sweeeeeet.

Just got done partying. Full of alcohol and hype. What's the good word.

 

[Lord Scrambles]

They outright showed what looked to be his sprite at one point didn't they?

 

[Higgins113]

I'm assuming the text says

Also Chibisona Etrian Odyssey game and a P4 Dance game.

Oh and Adachi is in P4:A2.

[fertygo]

Forgive me, still got carried away from the suspense.

 

[TurnipFritters]

Yes. One of the PC's shadows showed up right after.

-No P5 footage
-Dantis might be dead


Lol:
-P4D

So overall, you didn't miss much

 

[Frozenprince]

Know what.

Screw it. Don't even care anymore. PERSONA 5 YOU GUYS! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! THE HAPPENING IS ACTUALLY INTENSIFYING!

 

[Lunar15]

Man this sounds great

You missed the greatest troll in Internet History.

 

[Lord Scrambles]

There is also the possibility that they retread greco-roman mythology since slavery was a big part of greco-roman culture. Itt would, however, be boring as hell I WANT NEW MYTHOLOGIES DAMMIT

Also P4A2 main confirmed: Adachi bitches, prepare to feel the wrath of my cabbage-themed attacks

 

[Jintor]

Holy shit I'm going to be buying so many persona products next year

Guess I'll have to bring my ps3 with me to Japan

 

[fertygo]

Why Daichi seem summoning the shadow character at one point, he gonna playing bad guy role again?

 

[Spectrasonic]

I'm guessing everyone noticed Sho doesn't have a Persona? WHAT COULD THIS MEAN!?

EDIT: Also, doesn't his eyes look like Aigis's and Labrys's?

 

[Lord Scrambles]

He does, and he used it tons of times

Edit: that screenshot is weird, but he definitely had a Persona during the footage

 

[Sophia]

If anyone wishes to watch the announcement again, I've uploaded all 10 hours of the stream unedited to Twitch. I'm too fatigued to do anymore for now, as I've been on and off up for 72 hours. This has the final 9 hours of the countdown + announcement.

[Taruranto]

I imagine they feel great shame when Hashino, Soejima, and Megruo roll by on their waves of cash.

Well, there still hope modern Persona fans still have some self-respect and don't end up buying everything with P4 cast on it.

Thanks for the stream, what a ride

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Holy shit what a ride. Atlus are some serious trolls. First with the countdown, then with some random old lady deliberately not showing us footage, then announcing a 3ds chibi game, then some stupid dance spin off for the Vita and finally P5 for PS3.

No, no. Abraham Lincoln is the MC's Persona.

 

[Zephyx]

I'm guessing everyone noticed Sho doesn't have a Persona? WHAT COULD THIS MEAN!?

He has a Rinnegan!

I feel P4A2 will be a prelude of some sort to P5.

 

[Lord Scrambles]

No, no. Abraham Lincoln is the MC's Persona.

No Abraham Lincoln is the MC

 

[TurnipFritters]

No true Persona fan would ever be sick of the P4 cast.

 

[Squire]

So, what about the interview with the voice actress? I'm guessing she either plays the new girl in PQ or Kanamin in P4D.

I tried to stream it, but Nico Nico gave me an over captivity message as a premium user. :\

I have a feeling that part of the footage might of originally been for a trailer or something so they kept the Persona out.

'cos later on in the trailer he definitely does have a Persona.

I was curious about this. Did anybody translate it yet?

I want them to go outside the sphere of comfort. Like, Gaelic deitys. Make Tir Na Nog the new Tartarus, or a dungeon, make Celtic gods involved too if you have too, hell even just go to freaking Norse mythology if you have too. Just something other than another "Hero must find his lost love in the underworld."

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

My guess for P5's plot: Teenagers kidnapped and forced to fight shadows with personas for their freedom in some weird test?
