I thought it was explicitly stated she wasn't in Inaba when stuff starts happening? I know ONE of the two news sites said it.
Was it? There's this part from the Shoryuken article:
That does suggest she's at least aware of what's happening in Inaba when it starts, but it also leaves the possibility of her arriving in town after it has already started.
Either way, wonder if there'll be more of Port Island explored than Club Escapade.
Edit: The Gematsu translation makes it sound more like she's starting out in Inaba:
She's certainly interesting. Her abilities seem to be rather intricate, like the music notes which she detonates by using an attack that makes sound, the analysis aspect and the shield with its own dedicated meter.
This might be the best top page post I've ever seen.

Empyrean 9th floor boss argh why does every boss in this part of the game have evade -weakness-. it turns the entire match about whether the RNG gods let you win or not.
It's the song that plays when
you confront Maki's consciousness in the Sea of Souls.
It sounds like this song from Persona 4.
I think? No, maybe not.
EDIT: Also there's a part in the opening song that sounds like something from Persona 4. Some 25 seconds into the opening video.

I have to say, her artwork in arena looks alot nicer than her ultimax version. In ultimax, she looks like an awkward rat on crack.
Hey now, that's mean

Yup. The Ultimax artwork looks rushed as all heck.
Like I said yesterday though, I bet Soejima is reeeeeal busy right now.
I'd think P5's character designs were done by now.

Sorry Smed
As a fellow Rise fan, it pains me to say it, but that piece of artwork just looks wrong. My own personal opinion of course.
Dude, that guy must be doing some serious overtime.
He's probably busy with promo art and the likes too.

It looks fine to me. It's just the hair being up in the air kinda throws things off somewhat.
Soejima does a lot, lot, lot more than just design the characters.
He's the art director for Persona 5 and the lead illustrator for the franchise. He has a shit ton of work to do all the time.

For me, I think the face is just off. I dunno, i feel as if someone else drew that picture.
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm thinking of something else.
Arena's art is drawn in a different style to Persona 4. It's more deformed and dynamic. That's probably why it looks different. I'm pretty sure it's Soejima though.

She's kawaii as fuck though.

Yeah, it's the face and her hair seems off too because I guess she is jumping.
It's the eyes for me. They look bugged out and crazy.
That was exactly the picture I was using to compare, haha!
I don't see it myself.

Guys, what are you picking it apart for, don't you understand it's a parody? Jeez.
Joking aside, it's not as deformed as some of the P4 character portraits in the original Arena, like Kanji.

Yup. Yosuke too.
It's all meant to add to the arcade style, I think. That, and it's probably to meld it in better with the sprites?
Weirdly, Naoto looks pretty much dead on, though that might be because she's not a very dynamic character, haha.

lol, the eyes and mouth freaked me out when i first saw them. To each their own though.
Yeah, he probably just wanted to go in a completely new direction with Arena/Ultimax.
Yo Dantis and other fellow Englishman, will you guys be attending comic con London next month. Last year, Yuri Lowenthal, Tara Platt, and Troy Baker were there for the entire day. Not to mention the art directors from Attack on titan.

It's hard to explain. It's like they look symmetrical but at the same time.......don't.

I read promo as something else
Yup. All the games have their own visual style. It's like how P3P has lots of black shadow illustrations.
I have friends who are going, so I could, but it's not really my kind of thing. Seems very anime focused, which isn't for me.

So when's the game suppose to come to the west? September/October?

Hahaha yo damn.
Yeah, I'm in the camp that can't see it. I'm comparing this:
...to her P4AU image, and they look practically the same except her mouth is open (wider).
Such lewd minds don't belong on team purity

That art is miles more polished, but I agree that the eyes look fine in both.
They're bigger in the Ultimax art though. It's just a generally more exaggerated expression. Which is fine, because Arena is a pretty over the top game.
Well, one's a 3D model and the other is a drawing. There's also the age difference to take into account.
But yeah, the art being dynamic in Arena, as you mentioned, is certainly an intentional stylistic choice.

Clearly too anime.
I'm not really seeing the complaint, she seems on par with the rest of the Arena art, for better or worse.
That's not a 3D model. He's just drawn over a render.
Yeah, as I typed that I had a feeling it'd be false. Though doesn't that mean the base is still from a 3D model?

You'd be surprised. It's more like a massive exhibition, one section dedicated to anime; one section to TV shows; Games; Culture; clothes; foods; artwork, etc

Oh. You guys are arguing about Rise's design's. carry on.
The base is, yeah. It's the same thing he did with Catherine.
