DA MAN IS HERE!
e: shibeaten.
e2: Shadow Junpei, Teddie, Aigis, Kanji, and Naoto added in the character page.
Oh damn. Evil Aigis. 
No it doesn't. Looks completely different in his face.
Soejima has made him look miles more goofy in Arena, for better or for worse.
soejima neck returns full blast.
I think he's maybe traced the old Junpei art for the body, and then just drawn on a new face.
EDIT: Oh dear.
Maybe some people will like the new one more though? Who knows.
This is true. Ultimax is probably a lot lower in his priorities than Persona 5, also.
His profile does too.
元特別課外活動部の一人。現在は「シャドウワーカー」非常勤隊員を務めつつ、休日は少年野球のコーチに励む。乗り過ごした電車で八十稲羽に到着し、事件に巻き込まれることに。
Loosely, it says something like: "One of the former members of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad. Now serves part time as a Shadow Operative, while trying to strive as a baseball coach on his days off. He accidentally arrives in Yasoinaba by train and gets involved/caught up with the incident. "
Yeah. Jun looks bad.

The only thing off about Junpei's new portrait for me is the hair, the fact that his cap is backwards makes it seem like he's receding, and the sides look, I dunno, old.
Makes him look like he's aged more than the 3 years its supposed to be.

Overall only the face is different which is more than I can say about the rest of the P3 cast other than Aigis. Also face isn't all that bad. He looks older, which he's supposed to look.

The only thing I dislike about his design is that he looks much older than 19, but not everyone gets to keep the gift of youth for long. Maybe he's just one of the unlucky ones.

I guess the magician arcana requires one to have an abnormally long neck.

Holy shit, what happened to junpei lol
This are always so freacking amazing. I need more of this in my life.
We've come this far...
It's the Detective Prince, Naoto Shirogane! With her trusty blue cap (and a wardrobe that seems to consist of entirely blue...) Naoto is ready to solve this course. Despite her short stature, she's quite the powerhouse behind the tee. She doesn't particularly excel in any aspect of the game, but she does it all relatively well. Just don't mention how cute she looks.
That about wraps it up with the last of the Investigation Team.

junpei must have had some really rough experiences in those three years to look that worn out and age that much
It's not too bad, but there's something weird about the angle of the mouth.
Ideally he'd look like this anyway
It'd would be funny if Junpei pulled an Akihiko and showed up super buff.
Being a little league coach ain't no joke.
Also, Junpei in the anime cutscene looks like Vincent to me.
Junpei looked like he was balding even during P3. At least his drama CD illustration (where he's shown with Chidori) makes it look like this due to the angle of his hat.
Soejima even mentioned in the artbooks that he tends to give male characters a receding hairline (Ryoji and Kanji say hi).

Yeah man, I think it safe to say that it cost money, effort talent and a little bit of wizardry to actually get something out of 3DS. I mean, RE:R and SF 4 has yet to be surpassed and they came out at the beginning of the system's life. Even Nintendo's own offering don't touch those games. 3DS is certainly powerful enough to outdo Nocturne graphically and SMT IV does have some shader stuff that Nocturne and really, PS2 in general doesn't have(look at the rocks in Naraku). But for Vita, even the little guys are pushing out great looking games. Budget is definitely a factor though, if it takes money,e effort and talent to do something with 3DS, maybe Atlus didn't think it was worth it trying. It's also worth mentioning that If it were on Vita, it would be using the PS2 demon models. I don't think they could get away with 2D battles on that platform and there is nooooo wayyyyyyy it would be getting a significant amount of new demon models.
No reason why it can't be both, I'm playing through FF7 right now and it's cinematic as fuck. I'm talking set pieces and everything. Forced walking sections and a bunch of other shit. I wonder if it was SE that set the standard for modern AAA gaming LOL. Shit must have been mind blowing in 97.
Wasn't there recently an online magazine article flying around that traced Uncharted back to Final Fantasy VII? It also mentioned how FFVII's own cinematic approach backfired in the form of Final Fantasy XIII.

Yes, Junpei looks like those 19-20 year old guys with receding hair, is not that abnormal to see that in real life.

Yo whats going on with Junpei's mouth in ultimax? Is it just me or does it look weird? Especially when it moves.
Regardless, he's still the man.

I'm not sure but I think it's awesome that a Japanese RPG developer set the standard for the AAA games you see today. They spent 145 million on FF 7(45 million developing, 100 million on marketing). A quick google search says that would be around 212 million in today's money. That's close to GTA V's budget(a game that was guaranteed to do at least 30 million) iirc. I can't think of a game before FF7 that had that cinematic presentation, focus on FMVs and set pieces either. Shame they don't do groundbreaking shit like that anymore.
edit:That's probably why I like 15 so much, it reminds me of 7.

Eh, it's not that big of a deal for me. Personally I just hope they keep using the Soejima portraits as opposed to the 3D models.
EDIT:
Though I suppose if it's as good as Catherine, I wouldn't mind the scenes being acted out by the 3D models. Still I hope the portraits get used in some way.

No portraits. I want it to be as different to the previous Persona games as it can get.
And also make it edgy. and dark. and college.
