Winter 2014 was always vague to begin with, so I never put much faith in it. Especially as we got closer and closer with so little information.

I'm gonna say we wait and see what info TGS gives. If we get a lot, it's probably not delayed significantly.

Yeah, it became pretty obvious that it was going to be 2015 a while back. If Persona 5's actually been delayed, I do hope it's not something like late Q3/Q4 2015, which could potentially mean we'd have to wait until 2016 to get it.

I don't think Persona 4 Dancing's delayed. Still think it's going to launch this fall, so before December.

 

[Dantis]

He's only made character designs for 3 main games, though (including Catherine).
I don't see the trend.

We're referring to Soejima's art, between 2006 and now. His style has changed in how he draws bodies, eyes, outfits etc. etc. As time has gone on, it has emphasised attractiveness. Your 'three games' misses out every illustration and every spinoff work. A good example is how his style of drawing ladies' eyes has progressed.

I don't want to make a big thing out of this, but it is literally a fact (with evidence, if one was so inclined!), so if you still don't understand then I'll just leave you be, because I don't actually care very much.


Persona 5 gets shown for the first time and you're sat arguing that the characters haven't gotten more attractive. Lol.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

The girl speculation seems to be looking into it a bit too strong. Looks like a design that could work, but its also generic enough that she could easily just be any other generic person in that shot.

Maybe it's a social link character. I would think a member of the main cast would stand out more in terms of color.

Cmon guys, don't start going at it already, let's positive thinking!



FUCK I CAN'T GET OVER THE PS4 NEWS, SO GOD DAMN HAPPY.

P5 without the PS3s godfuckingawful OS?

Fucking CA$H.

No chairs no buy

Also that p5 topic totally turned into a p4 waifu war

 

[Acid08]

I wonder what kind of graphical style they're going to go for and how the extra power the PS4 has will benefit it. Like, are we still all expecting Catherine-like visuals? Maybe something slightly more realistic?

 

[Red The Hunter]

It's interesting that the game is set in Shibuya or just Tokyo (since I bet Shibuya isn't the only place were gonna be able to go in the game) instead of some fictional city.

Cel shaded cartoon look à la the Tales series and the Naruto games?

pls no realism, Catherine looked infinitely better than any realistic graphics ever could.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. The PS4 version is probably going to be a simple up-port. I hope i'm wrong though.

 

[AquaWateria]

I feel that the music might be a bit rock heavy for P5. Considering the atmosphere of the trailer.

 

[Style]

Obviously the courtroom teasing from PSC means that the game will have court sessions à la Ace Attorney. That's why the design of the new protagonist is meant to radiate intelligence instead of carefreeness, pain, indifference or masculinity like Naoya, Tatsuya, Makoto and Yu.

 

[Silky]

Persona 5? More like you can't pay me enough to play Persona 5 because it will be a bad game.

This is what I'm expecting. That's okay with me though. Visuals are the last thing I care about for Persona.

You'll get a Sega prize figure for the CE.

 

[Style]

A Sega prize in the sense that you wont receive it unless you live in Japan?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Catherine style is my bet and it will look amazing on PS4 and even PS3:

Imagine if it was more crisp, 1080p and even 60 fps (though its not needed)

 

[FireSol]

Fuck! Im already wanna P5 artbook...is there any cure from it??

 

[Zareka]

Imagine if it was more crisp, 1080p and even 60 fps (though its not needed)

Persona's gonna look weird at 60fps. Not bad, just...weird.

 

[Lollipop Dave]

I still don't see it. Two examples don't form a trend.

I don't see it either. His character designs are getting better but I wouldn't say the newer ones are more 'attractive'.

 

[Gbraga]

Catherine does look really good. Even if it's not much of an upgrade at all, just having those visuals at 1080p and 60fps would be awesome.

 

[Setsu00]

Catherine is such a fantastic looking game. Persona 5's gonna look great!

Persona was always weird.

That screenshot is compressed to hell, too. Better examples of how great the game looks:

I still hope we have character portraits.

I still hope we have character portraits.

I think those were already confirmed to be out ages ago? Expect Catherine style cutscenes, at any rate.

Pretty sure an older interview said to expect full cutscenes, give or take. I may be misremembering and Flux will correct me shortly.

this ain't no poor man's rpg anymore.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

That and as in like the figures similar to what Tales CE get, so quality like this, not bad not great:

 

[Gbraga]

I'll miss it, to be completely honest. It was part of the series' identity to me.

But, that said, the series' identity already changed from 2 to 3, so I can't really be that upset, unless I still think they should go back after playing the game.

 

[JNA]

Atlus should go a step beyond and include statues in for the main protagonist and the waifus. XD

 

[Lunar15]

It's hard to put a lot of stock in old interivews at this point. I feel like this game has probably undergone a lot of twists and turns in development, and has probably only begun to solidify fairly recently.

Well, I don't recall anything of the sort. I think all of the places we've heard any information about Persona 5 since the November announcement until now were in: #Re:birth, Dengeki #555, Soejima GI interview, #September and potentially the PSC #7 blog post.

I believe a translation from either #Re:birth or Dengeki #555 stated that the game would be using more "life-sizesd models" or something similar, but I don't think the character portraits were specifically referenced. Wouldn't be too surprised if they were gone (or still there).

All information after the November reveal would obviously be after the project had solidified. Before then, there had been absolutely no concrete details about the game other than the fact that they made their own engine for it, which is probably still the case.

That might be what I'm remembering then. Either way, I think it's a safe bet to say they're probably not prominent.

I have a strong feeling there have been bumps since last year's reveal even. But my point moreover is that it's really too hard to say if anything they've said has stuck. I'd imagine the engine would have to have been nailed down some time ago, however.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Haha and that title edit: Persona 5 also launching on PS4, releasing 2015 ["waifu" crap = ban]

Hey, malcontents and freaks, stop discussing waifus and husbandos right now. This isn't the community thread where you are all quarantined. Knock it off or get a vacation (where you can replay Persona 4 and creep on Rise/Chie/Yukiko until you are blue in the face!.

 

[Guess Who]

The joke is that we rarely ever have waifu wars in this thread

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

People forget how good Catherine looked.

Do you think we will have larger areas now without load screens?

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

That was a shop in P2, also.

I bet it'll be an upscale shop of some kind.

Huh. I didn't know that.

That is not what most people think of us, as they think that everyone who posts in the persona topics on the other side are PersonaGAF people.

 

[Sophia]

It is highly unfortunate that the people who regularly participate in this sub-community are blamed for something we don't even do. :\

Heck, we rarely tolerate "waifu" discussion in this thread, because of how badly it derails stuff.

 

[Andrefpvs]

I do not want to be associated with the people that constantly derail threads on gaming side with "waifu wars". That was a bit harsh from Kev.

Edit: I meant I don't want to be associated with the act of derailing the threads, I didn't mean to insult the people who do it

 

[LelouchViBritannia]

that's because everybody knows Yukiko = best girl
