i just followed your tumblr, pepsiman

there's a guy who steals memories and personas by turning them into discs

COMPACT DISCS?

 

[snow in jamaica]

yes

 

[PK Gaming]

Not going to lie, that sounds like a really cool concept

 

[Gazoinks]

Also there's this one part where they get attacked by a ghost football team

Also, thanks for the quick translations, pepsiman! You're awesome!

Nothing is known about the design, beyond them announcing it.
And also announcing another limited edition of the game, though this is a Famitsu DX Pack

There will also be a Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth Famitsu DX Pack with the game itself, a B2-size tapestry illustrated by the Persona Q anime staff, an A3-size clear poster illustrated by Atlus, a set of five different visual clear file folders, an original mug cup, and a Graphig paper figure of Rei.

COMPACT DISCS?

The main antagonist kills them by scratching the discs up with his car keys.

it's from jojo~

like how part 2 and persona 2 have nazis and part 3 and persona 3 have dogs and part 4 and persona 4 are slices of life with serial killer antagonists but the jojo part that takes place in a prison is 6 so i guess p5 is…

breaking the chain

tbh it'd fit in pq

What's up with all the jojo references in games lately?

WAIT. Does that mean Persona 5 is going to be a mafia drama. Because I'm okay with that.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure inspired a lot of stuff (including Persona), and it's currently on the uprise in popularity thanks to a recent fighting game + TV adaptation of Part 3 coming up.

I hope the final boss of P4D is Mark.

Don't forget the Part 1 and 2 anime.

 

[Necrovex]

TELL US WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT PERSONA 5 AND WHERE WAS THE CASTING SESSION TAKING PLACE.

ANSWER AND YOU SHALL LEAVE WITH A COMPLIMENTARY FEATHER DUSTER.

You know how Persona 4 involved the fog? Persona 5 will involve snow. Florida will become a slaughterhouse each time it snows, and it is up to the Persona team to figure out why such a horrible thing is occurring in Florida. Each time it snows, every Floridian reveal their inner Florida Man.

Dude it's totally SMT2's Aleph dancing furiously

It the perfect substitute for shadows.

Just wait for the hybrid of Florida Man and bath salt!

 

[Sophia]

That too.

The Strands that were introduced in Part 3 were basically the inspiration for the Persona concept, however. They even draw their names from taort cards.

 

[CrazyTank940]

The only way to beat Mark dancing crazy is to dance furiously

Don't forget the Part 1 and 2 anime.

I think I'm gonna marathon it again before Stardust Crusaders gets its animated debut

Spoiler

that doesn't suck

The idea of using discs reminds me of Monster Rancher.

Stands are literally Personas

They even have arcanas

 

[Gazoinks]

Stands are literally Personas

Persona should've taken inspiration from later Jojo and gone with music references instead.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

It's the other way around.

Can't wait to see the design!! I would love a Persona-inspired console.

 

[Gazoinks]

Can't wait to see the design!! I would love a Persona-inspired console.

I hope they go for a purple and black checkerboard pattern instead of just slapping some character portraits on it.

Also, I wasn't aware they sold the P4G Vita skin by itself. I like how the P4G backgrounds combine with it. Might pick it up sometime to make my Vita less boring.

Agreed! I hope that we get some more info soon. And yes, the Persona 4 Golden skin is beautiful, especially with the wallpaper applied!

That would be lovely.

PQ 3DSXL sounds cool buuuuuut I have a hard time wanting to import region locked consoles. I'll stick with my AC edition.

 

[Gazoinks]

All I want is a chibi Eikichi drawing

 

[PK Gaming]

It's the other way around.

No way, really?

 

[Gazoinks]

No way, really?

No. Stardust Crusaders finished several years before Persona 1 was released.

To clarify, PK said stands are literally Personas, but Stands came out before Personas.

 

[Gazoinks]

Oh, you're right, I misread it as saying that Stands were inspired by Personas.

 

[PK Gaming]

To clarify, PK said stands are literally Personas, but Stands came out before Personas.

Oh, I was trying to say that stands inspired Persona's (in response to Lunar's question) hence why they were paying tribute.

I should have gone into more detail.

 

[snow in jamaica]

there are two lotus juice songs in one of the jojo anime soundtracks (both without vocals when used in the anime).

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I got what you were saying.

It's a needlessly semantic detail.

Is this a fact or just an assumption? I would be pretty interested in reading about it if it's in an interview somewhere, and any other influences Persona may of had if they're about.

I don't know about the old games, but I don't think Hashino has ever mentioned Jojo.

So which version of that game should I actually play? Mark or Masao version?

 

[Meia]

True story, the new PQ trailer today featured students that Yu doesn't recognize, and one of them had a guitar and blue hair. I literally did a double take hoping it was Eikichi, but alas.
