The point is that they're supposed to disparage the people they're associated with as well as exaggerate their characteristics; a riff on similar titles in certain circles of wrestling, according to the P4A art book interview. The "cabbage" part of this one's, however, doesn't really do either of the two. It's fine, though.

So, uh, what are we doing about
? I'm seeing 50/50 here on the spoiler tagging. Kind of useless if not everyone does it.
Adachi
Unless I missed something, rules haven't changed for this thread (i.e. it still stays under spoiler tags.)
I know Dantis was gonna ask the mods on what to do tho.

That's a great picture.
That's also what I imagine Rise doing in Persona 4 too, just without the phone, lol.

Cool, I went ahead and bought the full $12. I think I'd like to be the tutorial boss if that's ok.
I'll won't be back in town until Sunday unfortunately.
Todd, the series isn't that popular and it's not Atlus' conference to just do as they please. You make it sound they have a choice here when it's all the more likely they absolutely do not.

WAIT WHAT IS
A PLAYABLE DLC CHARACTER? #HYPE

You should spoiler tag his name, since everyone else has been doing that.

If we are going to be realistic, do not expect any new information about Persona 5 at E3 (other than a repeat of the WANT EMANCIPATION? trailer at the Atlus booth).
If you want to be even more realistic, do not expect June's Persona magazine to contain information on Persona 5 either - if Dancing All Night will be at E3, then the magazine will most likely be dedicated to Dancing All Night. If, on the off chance, that there *is* Persona 5 information at any of these, think of it as a lovely surprise. Otherwise, wait until TGS.
But I still want to believe. ;__;
Regarding his title, bear in mind that a lot of the luster of the original Japanese is lost if you translate them literally. There's usually a lot of subtle word play that gets lost and doesn't make the overall intent of the dig super apparent unless you work around it and basically rewrite them from scratch with that basic intent in mind. Rise's title is a really great example; it seemingly commends her for embracing her other selves while also taking a dig at her sensuality, all within just four characters! There's a lot of nuance you have to take into consideration and it's a big reason why (I would hope) the folks at Atlus USA coming up with the official titles get paid good money because it's super hard! I won't claim to be any better; just speaking from experience doing that sort of stuff for both Arena specifically and other stuff elsewhere.
I haven't seen the Japanese title in question, but if he's the one that ends up with a trailer this week, you can bet I'll try to do what I can to give it the right sort of flavor befitting the send-up he gets in Japanese. Writing that stuff is my favorite part of those trailers, so I figure if I don't enjoy it, there's no chance in hell anybody watching my subs will.

You're missing Famitsu issue June 19. Persona 5 would most likely be the cover for whatever magazine it would be unveiled in, and the #Spring issue cover is already known to be Persona Q, so that was out from the get-go.
Then again, if P4D is going to be at E3, then it would have been safe to think #Spring would also contain P4D, but in that case I would have also expected a P4D related cover.

All I'm really expecting from E3 are the english dub versions of pre-existing trailers like as was the case with P4A at E3 2012. Fine with me though~
I'd expect a bit more than that, really. First real console gameplay footage + info for P4AU, potentially including the new characters we haven't fully seen in action yet. Gameplay footage + info for PQ. Gameplay footage from Persona 4 Dancing.

Alright, though via all the context surrounding what everyone is talking about it seems kind of ceremonial.
I think it's pretty unrealistic to keep assuming they're not gonna show it. It has to be shown at some point and it becomes more and more likely with each passing event.

True, I think P4AU will definitely be playable and I hope the other titles will be as well. I just try not to get my hopes up too much when it comes to E3 XP

summer avatar sounds like a pretty good idea. Think I'll follow suit for a little bit if you don't mind

Sadly, I agree. I don't want to get my hopes up for E3. I expect PQ and P4AU in English at E3.

Not at all! I had the Makoto P3P sprites lying around in my hard drive and was bored, so I made 3 PNGs for the seasons (this one for the summer, school uniform for spring/fall, coat for winter). Just to keep things fresh throughout the year aha!
So good it hurts

Because this thread currently has a "no spoiler" clause, which does not extend itself to choice situations. Including this one.

No special seasonal outfits for hipster shiba.
Only lots of shedding.
Ugh, don't remind me. My allergies are already making me go nuts, and my dog here certainly isn't helping with all the shedding aha.
And about the spoiler thing, I would like to hear back on that too. Being a Junior and all still, I'm kind of scared of doing something that I shouldn't lol.

I actually have winter jacket Mitsuru like this as my primary avatar haha, but I like to mix it up once in a while

I know, but it's better to temper expectations than to get too excited. :V
I fully expect there to be a Persona 5 information blowout once Dancing All Night is running its course of advertisement - unless Atlus runs DAN and P5 at the same time like they did with PQ and Ultimax.

Great job, though now I'm kinda wanting that my character would be of some usefulness rather than just telling bad puns (which, still remains my main function cause well....that's just me)
Nice try, Atlus, but I had the sublime Dragon Quest Slime nikuman bun and you're gonna have to put in way more effort to top that if you have aspirations of becoming the greatest licensed convenience store food of all time!

Yo that street is straight up from Earthbound. Well, it's more city-like instead of a beachfront like Summers is. But still.
Anyway, looks good!
Earthbound already is a Persona game anyway. Magicant is Ness' Shadow Dungeon, Birdman is his Persona. Porkey is somehow cooler and more competent than any of those useless fucks in Strega.
Basically confirmation that P4U2 will be at E3... not that it was really needed, heh.
Wonder if it's going to be dubbed in English. I'd think so.

Actually, I think you're confusing something about the Famitsu article. The issue goes on sale on June 5, but it will be referred to as the June 19 issue. Kind of like how monthly magazines go on sale before the stated month?

I don't know Japanese, so that's fully possible, but are you sure? Since Famitsu is released weekly on Thursdays and June 19 is a Thursday, why would they refer to their June 5 issue as the issue to be released in two weeks? And wouldn't we have heard a bit more in terms of leaks from the issue already if it would have 20+ pages devoted to Persona?
Yeah, Fanitsu isn't monthly, so it wouldn't be off-dated. Bi-weekly/weekly publications are dated approximately. It's a different issue.
Chrono is correct. Famitsu's dating conventions are weird because of how they take weeks off for stuff like Golden Week, but the Japanese does say that the June 19 issue is in fact what's coming out this week. I meant to point that out earlier, but forgot to in all the chaos of today. If somebody wants to dig up the image again, I can check for posterity, but I'm 100 percent certain that's the case.
Famitsu leaks are dicey. They're rarely ever comprehensive and just happen at the leaker's discretion, often prioritizing what they deem to be the best drivers of traffic. They don't really bother to go through gigantic specials unless the magazine is super brazen about hyping up new information.
Gematsu has a digital subscription and I'll almost certainly be assigned to look through that entire special to do a write-up, so we'll know everything there is to know soon enough.
