Woah, weird. It's like Persona: Chain of Danganronpa Odyssey.
Gotta admit, I'm legitimately curious where the story is going to go now, mainly to see how they explain away this being squished into the middle of one of the mainline games.

I'm so relieved they wasted their perfect opportunity to turn Persona 5 into Persona Go for smartphones or something.
I believe there was a Famitsu link somewhere in the PQ thread.

So is Sho Yu's shadow.
I think P4A2 is going to be canon but Pq and obviously P4d won't be. As said before it won't matter at all if P5 does not include P4/P3 characters but I don't see Pq making sense unless they pull some time warp bs on us.

It'd be kind of hilarious if P4D ended up somehow being canon. P5 starts with the MC at the show or something.
Er, well I wouldn't laugh about P4D being canon just yet:
If anything, at least some thought went into it...?
We already know that P4A and P4A2 is canon, obviously.
Well then. Legitimately did not expect it to have an actual story. Kind of makes me want to get it, if I had a Vita. There'd better be more dancers playable though. I need my Kanji dance.
Watch it end up being super light.
Yeah, I really like the tone in the trailer. It's dark, but it feels like a different kind of dark than P3. Less doom and gloom and death and more... intense, I guess? It's what I was hoping they'd go for if they did another dark Persona game. Cannot wait to see some more info about it.

All I kept thinking when watching the trailer was that it kinda reminded me of EVA
Better than Per5ona.
That text looks very placeholder, I wouldn't expect them to ship it with a font like that. haha

^It was probably just a stylistic choice with the teaser.

Can someone make me a Persona Etrian Odyssey Shinji avatar?

Yo I've read that manga. Depressing as shit. Its like Eva except depressants are streamed as soon as episode 1.
True enough. Only thing worse would've been something like PerSona.
I dunno man, it is a pretty nice and clean font.
I felt it was mostly unnerving. Setting aside P3's doom-and-gloom it was a different kind of dark tone set in that game which didn't really rear it's head proper until after the first half of the game, and it was an otherworldly terror. This teaser makes it seem like that heavy atmosphere isn't necessarily from just another world.
Maybe with the chairs being in shackles it's implying an academy with an oppressing regime!

It all makes sense now!
"You're wearing me, and I'm wearing you!"
"Thou art I, and I am thou!"
EVERYTHING IS LINING UP
Does that make it bad?
I never said it was bad, just that I doubt it's final.
Hell no.
It's been stylized as Persona# in Japan since at least P3.

Any others? Also let me know if you want the avatar to focus on the face or the whole body.

Hope you like them. Sorry if they're a bit rough. They kind of blended into the purplish fog background.
You're right -_______-

Your social link has reversed
I wonder how Persona summoning will work to tie into the themes of enslavement? Everyone goes around in handcuffs until you summon your Persona?
Something like that seems likely. Nothing to lose but our chains. Emancipation will probably be thematically linked with unleashing your persona.
Yeah. I could see breaking chains as the mechanism. Maybe the item people carry around with them this time is a key? On the other hand, the actual Persona summoning in P4 didn't have much to do with the themes of the story, the glasses were a different thing. I hope they don't do tarot crushing again.
So here's what I want: More Persona characters as playable characters. The game is already full on stupid, might as well just throw in as many characters as they can. There should at least be the full Persona 4 cast, right?
Here's what I don't want: More playable characters in the form of Rise's idol group. I already don't like Kanami's design. I don't need more of that.
Also, for those more well versed in these types of games: Is it likely that there'll be alternate costumes? Preferably ones where they just wear normal clothes... Rise's idol outfit is bleh.
Alright, I've been up with coffee for a bit, so I can give more than an immediate, cursory reaction to everything.
PQ: Alright. It's cool the 3DS audience is being thrown a bone and the EO team has something to do. It doesn't interest me, personally, but it's cool it's happening.
P4A2: We all guessed it, but I'm also still surprised they'd announce the console version this early.
Adachi is a surprise. I'm not really a fan, but it's alright. I can see why they picked him, too. For starters, the fact they already have an Izanagi sprite done and ready to go is good reason enough. That's a nice portion of work done in getting that character going, but whatever - that's boring developer thinking. ~_^
P5: Finally announced; faith rewarded.
I'm glad it's announced, I'm glad the platform talk is (mostly) done, and while I'm confident thuway knows what's up, if it's not on PS4? Fine. My PS3 sits right next to my PS4 and she's all ready to go.
I like the teaser. Good style, good sound; obviously thought going into the themes, which is what we want most from these guys - something thoughtful. I think I'm more intrigued than excited right now, but that's not to say I'm not excited at all. I'm really looking forward to seeing more, hopefully very soon.
P4D: I just love stuff like this. This is fun and that's what it's all about. Moonlight pointed out how we've very specifically joked about a game like this, so seeing it actually happen is crazy and awesome.
I can understand why you'd react negatively, but this is what happens when a brand grows and gains popularity and credibility. We take Atlus seriously when they mean to be so and that gives them more room to joke. That's what you have to take this stuff as. These games aren't sacred cows; the series is growing and spin-offs will happen, but as a Final Fantasy fan, I'm already used to it.
But yeah, I think P4D is a great idea. I'm down for it day one and I love our new OT title in reference to it. <3
The teaser itself: Well played, Atlus.
Seriously, wow. I won't retread the details, but rumors, speculation, investigation; this is what Persona's about. I think it was the coolest tease ever, the biggest troll ever, and it ultimately delivered. Good show.
Edit: If someone can hook me up with a P4D avatar, that's be ace. Rise and Yu are taken, so Kanamin please?

Project DIVA typically has a good amount of them. (2 or 3 alts per character for the early games. Diva f has between 9-12 per character, and Miku herself has 27)
There's likely going to be more characters than DIVA's 6 or so, so there probably won't be more than 4 alternate costumes, if that.
Almost a guarantee, and cat ears too!

Hey, why don't we just throw in the Muses into the mix too, I think that would be fun to dance as them.

I agree, Yukiko and Naoto are the only P4 cast that are missing too.
I would love, LOVE, to see some Persona 3 characters in there.
I'm wondering if P3 characters are even gonna make it in, but man it would be nice to throw P2 fans a bone and at least get some Muses costumes in there.
Seeing Dantis not so negative about the dancing game is smile inducing.
More positivity more often everyone!
Also: Inorigo, Moonlight, kewlmyc, and CrazyTank--recording in an hour. Just a reminder
Yep and yep.
The vibe is good right now. Nobody should be bummed.
When they show Yukiko I'll probably pass out
P4 spoilers: (I don't know how long we can keep spoiler tagging this, it is going to become common media knowledge soon)
I hope there is a character that is almost exactly like Adachi in P5 who everyone is going to massively distrust the entire time and near the end of the game, he is going to get framed for everything and it is going to make sense and the bad end will be caused by agreeing with all of it
