Oh hello there person I know and haven't seen since OT1 I think

Smed, that was before he went dark side.
She an awesome character, though my favorite P2 characters besids Maya would be...
Baofu
The dude is a badass, what with his cool suit and his P2:EP voice makes him so awesome.
And he has one of the best lines in the game.(This image contains MAJOR SPOILERS for the end of the game. So view at your own risk)
And...
Ulala
She is just such a fun character to be around, and she is there to help lighten the mood when it gets down in EP.
But also caring of Maya and rest of the team. And always though that she and Baofu made an awesome duo together.
And she gives us one of the most hilarious lines in all of the Persona games...
We know.
Woah easy there chief, you're the lieutenant at best!
The king is one who ultimately leads; i'm the architect of the revolution here!
I wonder what that could mean...it's kinda eerie...

You're lucky FGW doesn't know your True Self, Smedwicks.
Wait, was that really part of the anime? lol
In P4A, it was the same for every character except for Shadow Labrys. Even the Shadows in P4A2 have the confetti and everything going on when they win. I guess it means that the ones behind the tournaments don't have fanfare going on for themselves when they beat someone up, heh.
Finally getting around to watching the Best of Endurance Run videos. Good stuff. "You never buy me cotton candy, all you do is smoke and hold a jacket!" Makes me want to play Golden more than I already do.
They still hate anime?

It's just that he denied that his waifu's Rise there
Poor ChieYou're just jealous of his swag.
It's hilarious that you don't even deny it any more, Smedwicks.
Whew, finally translated those last two pages of the Hashino interview with the Persona magazine. Basically, if you know where to find the first set, you'll know where to look for the second. Hopefully I'm not doing anything wrong by saying that. I mention it on the post proper, but a GAF lurker volunteered to do the image cleanup for those two pages so I could focus on translating. I don't know your GAF name, but thank you Naotolan, you kind duder. You stepped up to the plate when I didn't even think there was one to step up to to begin with.
Anyway, for these other two pages of the interview, Hashino talks about the other games that they announced along with Persona 5. I actually enjoyed translating those bits even more than what I did for the Persona 5 portion since it sheds some light on the reasoning behind why some of these games exist. And the guy just comes across to me as earnest in Japanese. That makes my life as a translator that much easier.

Awesome, I look forward to reading it during my lunch break!
Bonus!

In someway, at any one point, everyone had something to do with the novel.

your record a poop, mister daki
Oh please, he denies her everywhere, even in game! He's all about that fishing shizz anyways
The Collar Arcana has evolved into The Universe arcana
You're just jealous of his swag.
Chie is probably thinking to herself: "BUT I WAS INTIMATE WITH HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM"

That would be wrong, Soejima did draw the characters in game, but the character designs are all Kaneko man.
That probably means, they showed Hashino the Soejima cover and Hashino nodded: "Yep, thats Naoto all right."

Hey I just said I'm a King is all.
You all are the ones pulling out false info from said declaration.

Some king to deny his queen, huh
That is incorrect. Soejima is responsible for the majority of the side characters like Anna (Atlus even posted a piece of concept art that Soejima drew on the blog for Persona 2). By the way, Soejima also created Seven Sisters High and the P2 version of Philemon's realm. Source: Persona World Guidance book
I believe that this actually means that the book's concepts and characters were penned by Hashino. After all, they are very Hashino-esque. The actual story is probably the work of Yuichiro Tanaka (Persona series headwriter) and Natsuki Mamiya.
Oh I know that, I was just pointing out that Soejima was directly responsible for drawing the amazing character portraits.
Yeah, that is interesting. Even though P4A2 is branded as the one to end the saga, which I presume means the story from P4 to P4A to P4A2, all involving the Midnight Channel, he's not immediately dismissing a sequel to the game and, in fact, considering how they would handle its story.
This might mean P4A2 will have a satisfying ending and story as a whole, like I'm hoping it will, if they won't intentionally leave dumb cliffhangers for the sake of a sequel. "Proper closure" and "tying everything up nicely" sounds pretty good to me.
Given Yuichiro Tanaka's comments in the P4A art book, I would expect an eventual sequel to P4A2 if its console release is a great success like its predecessor was.
I hope this also refers to Elizabeth and her quest
to save Minato/Makoto's soul.

Huh, you learn something new every day! Popular fan conceptions being shattered left and right! On the other hand, this means Soejima was responsible for that crappy first dungeon objective? Soejima pls
It'd be interesting seeing this subplot going from The Answer, to P4 to P4A finally resolved in P4A2. I think it's a good place to resolve it, instead of a full blown RPG that will have other things as its focus. Persona Q wouldn't work because of the timeline, either.
Well, it looks like it won't be a sequel to Arena, at least. I'd expect a P5 fighter or something, still made by Arc and using similar mechanics.
He did P1 and Soul Hackers side characters too.
I haven't actually read the book, but I'm not sure about it being Hashino-esque. I heard that the plot is teeeeeeeerrible.
Oh snap!
I take it back; even in the late 90s, Soejima was drawing awesome character designs.

The plot isn't too bad, it's what they use to fill in-between the plot points that's terrible.

I knew he did the Soul Hackers side people, but I didn't know about P1 and P2.
The plot is really dumb. Oh and the manga version decided to randomly show us Naoto's boobs for some reason.

"like Kujikawa-san, who had found her calling as an idol, or like Tatsumi-kun, who had decided that nothing compared to making crocheted animals.

I would live it if they reused that Kyoji Kuzunoha tribute outfit somewhere else though
Long haired Naoto and her outfit can stay, I guess...
