Cut me a deal
Mostly seamless world, with only minor transitions from going from City locations to dungeon locations. Seamless transitions to turn-based battles.
Imagine something akin to how Xenoblade handles it's technical aspects, and you have the idea.
Yeah the scope should remain the same(or slightly bigger)so that the game retains richly detailed environments and hopefully the hardware will cut down the loading between areas and make them feel more interconnected.

Drop 2D portraits and someone is getting slapped.
Yeah, no worries. As soon as the option came up I jumped the hell out.
I like the third and the last one, especially with that Koromaru Eyebrow!
what do you think i try to do
Eh, if it were a choice between 2D portraits with average/bad models or Catherine quality 3D models, I'd personally go for the latter without question.

I haven't played Catherine but from I've seen it has close-ups, different camera angles, etc. If Atlus is still going to set the camera at relatively far distance than simple high quality models won't be able to display emotions and reactions effectively. I don't really see why they would change it.
They'll probably do it for tradition anyway.

I'd go the former every time. Games these days don't have enough drawn art in them. Let Persona be its own weird thing instead of another cinematic 3D game in a sea of cinematic 3D games. I want static camera angles and 2D portraits.
Source: December issue of Famitsu:
Plus, situations like these because of low quality models are awkward:
I mostly prefer dynamic scenes over static ones, and if that's what cinematic entails, then I'm all for it. Ace Attorney 5 and Guilty Gear Xrd are prime examples as to why I have a preference for high quality models over 2D art most of the time.

I think we've found jello's alt account
All I'm saying is that the best method of building a sturdy mechanical weapon capable of passing for a human is to leave exposed joints.
NOBODY, especially not opponents, would notice that!
Ergo, screw boys and flesh girls, girlbots is all we need.
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Don't let Dantis see
I used to be a huge fan of LEGO's Bionicle back in the day.
Lemme tell you, the things I saw guys argue to support the need for a robot woman to have robot boobs were truly, truly impressive.

If it does end up like that I'd be cool with it. It's just with the hundreds of hours of cutscenes I have my doubts that they'll want to make everything dynamic.

Just started playing P4G. Love, love, love, Canadian Chie.
Unfortunately probably no whole plot thread involving maple syrup like in Untold

But don't you want a bunch of pretty boy robots at your command.
I doubt the handheld thing will have any impact on Persona 5. What platform the game will be one will have been chosen before production.
Yeah, there's that too. It's (probably) not like they started developing P5 for 3DS/Vita/iOS and then decided it would be better to switch to PS3 mid-development.
That's one of the best Labrys pics around.
Have an Aigis.
haha.
Funny because they both have the same Voice Actress. ;p
No thanks to a bus. It would just get tedious. What you're describing is similar to Yakuza where you can quick travel using taxis, and while Kamurocho isn't big the taxis are spaced out a lot. So you have to do a lot of running and it's tedious when you're trying to get to a specific store or trying to finish a subquest and you're running everywhere.
They can just keep the square button fast travel.
They should have a mix of dynamic and static. For the static scenes I envision them like Yakuza with realistic models, just probably more expressive and with more dynamic camera angles.

Persona 4 X The Simpsons
Sorry, that's what I meant, haha. Like to warp just find the nearest bus stop and off you go. If positioned conveniently throughout town, there wouldn't be much delay, I think.
I'm not expecting anywhere near this level of seamlessness, haha. I think the structure will be like Persona 4. World map, choose an area, fade in and out for battles etc.
Xenoblade has real time combat, so it's much easier to have no transitions.
This is how they get you.
It'll be $40 by October!

Ohhhhhh.
That's right.
"Sorry, Europe!"
The one thing I want is fully rotatable camera *_*
About beautifully drawn portaits vs Character models and cutscenes, definitely portraits.
I am playing P4 right now and I amnot missing character close ups or traditional cutscenes one bit.
Really the portraits are gorgeous to look at and rarely used in modern gaming.

It's fantastic, but that album needed a lot more from the game's actual OST.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Ultimate Edition (includes all DLC including Day 1 playable Ken)
Sad thing is that I'll probably hold out for said version.

Yeah, I'm really hoping for the Catherine Quality models/artstyle since it just worked so well with the expressions in the cutscenes in that game I adored it. To hell with 2d portraits I want to see my girlbot in a 3d model and blush and pose.

It's probably like Catherine, Im pretty sure that game was to test waters and thats one of the reasons why P5 is in PS3/360 instead of PS4.
About the tcity aspect I don't know how they are going to do it, but I hope is similar to P3 and P4 (the map, because it would be pretty hard for them to do a nearly full city), with the presentation of Catherine (bigger, more populated enviroments, with better done scenes).
As someone who loves the 2D portraits, after playing Catherine, I wouldn't mind if they don't use them in the end. The character models have basically the same facial expressions of the 2D portraits that Soejima usually does for characters. Also the scenes flow much better.
The best of both worlds would be having this 2D portraits in the character menus (level up, social links, etc...), while the rest of the game uses Catherine quality 3D models.
Also, battles are going to look spectacular with those graphics :O

I can only imagine what that is
Personally, I just get freaked out by doll heads. To much Japanese horror films as a kid lol.
I finally got around to playing Flux and TWILT on Arena. Those dudes are TOUGH! I did manage to win a couple of the matches, so im pleased with that. I haven't played Arena competitively for like 7 months, but the battles yesterday have made me even MORE excited for Ultimax. ATLUS, give it to me NOWWWW!!
ggs yesterday guys. Im coming for both of you in Ultimax
The mere thought of getting a fully explorable town in Persona 5 gets me hyped. I don't think it's going to happen, though...
Anyway, I believe that P5 will look like Catherine. I love the Soejima portraits, but I can see why it makes sense to get rid of them.

So my copies of the P3, P4 and P4A design works arrived, cant wait to start reading through them and posting my thoughts on here for discussion.
One thing I immediately noticed though was on the P4 book, the blurb states it as the "final game of the landmark Persona series." I wonder if they originally planned to stop making them at 4 before its huge rise is popularity or whether that's just a misunderstanding?
Either way should be an interesting read, if anyone wants me to look at something in particular then let me know and I'll check it out for you.

Catherine also happens to be shorter than a Persona game. I really doubt we will get Catherine style scenes.

And a lot more fun to replay.
I always assumed it was a mistranslation from the Japanese and they actually meant "latest game".

It will probably be Chet since he's the nearest person.
