I wasn't the only one who thought of The World Ends With You was I?

I too want to see what graphics style they'll go for. Hashino did say a while back that they were going for more realistic character models as opposed to the kinda sorta chibi look of P3 and P4 models. Does that mean that portraits are gonna be done away with?

Man i dont want to be that guy but three clips of Atlus anime scenes does jack for me. Im excited, i guess, but Square has beaten me out of giving a shit about nongameplay trailers.

Still, good news for PS4 owners and good to know we'll be seeing this next year.

Think I'll be infrequent, now, since speculation phase is under way.

So do you folk think the main character looking distressed in the middle of the crosswalk alludes to like social anxiety? Trying to figure out if it's trying to tie into the theme of people being stuck in their ways/a undesirable path. Probably reading too much into it. haha

Interesting that the MC appears to be summoning his persona in board daylight with crowds around too.

Sadly...I'm pretty much the same way. XD

For good reason though, the series is excellent. Seeing it get the recognition that it deserves puts a smile on my face.

Monsoon, that Terror in Resonance GIF is perfect aha!

What if the "shadow world" takes over the real world whenever time stops? That's a theory I've been hearing these past several hours.

Two things like that come to mind at hype speculation levels. The lack of audio made me think of the 5 senses, and the other thing was small village to big town as mentioned before.

I can't find it on Cruncyroll. :(

Indeed, so it's got the seal of approval right there. I believe you'll have to find other... METHODS to watch it, so to speak lol.

Truly a shame that there was no episode this week. It's one of the shows I look forward to the most every week.

I loved P3&4 but man, Atlus really went too far with palette swap in these 2 games.
For someone who like dungeon crawling it's really annoying to fight the same enemy over and over again.

Please Atlus, fix that in P5. Thanks.

I like to believe they'll do that but that means creating tons of assets so...=/

Game will have been in development for 5-6 years when it launches, so it's not like they're going to half-ass it in terms of assets. They can't really recycle much this time like from P3 to P4, heh.

Pretty sure Funimation picked up the rights to it, so it's probably on their steaming site. I still haven't had a chance to watch it yet, so I'm not sure.

I thought development only really started in earnest after they shipped Catherine?

Oh it is, it's just interesting consider the dark hour and the TV world were very removed from reality, why here his Persona is summoned with people around.

You'll never know lol, most assets from those probably has some uncompressed version for HD ;D, but yeah I hope they have made tons of stuff, just don't get your hopes too high.

It's all on the MC's mind. He broke his chains... with reality.

Probably not, but it would be funny.

The start of preliminary development was confirmed on March 24, 2010, meaning it probably started some time in Q4 2009. On August 31, 2011, preliminary development was said to be nearly complete, and then it was said the actual dev. process would begin from there, so probably in late Q3 2011. If that's what you mean by development in earnest, then they started active development several months after shipping Catherine, however, they had completed work on their internal engine by August 31, 2011, so if that's when earnest development for the game started, it would probably be near the same time preliminary development started.

I'm not expecting both versions to look TOO different from one another. I'd say upper res, and better framerate (30 locked or 60) are a given on the PS4, as well as better loadings (if any) between sections. Would also be pretty cool to see a lot of population on the streets, just like in the trailer! The PS4 would definitely be able to pull it off, but it's up to them and their vision really whether they implement that or not.

By the time the game is out I'm sure that there will be some kind of name that everyone will be calling him. Or maybe the devs will just pull a SMTIV and give him a preset name like Flynn's. I'm not too original with names (proof of that being my previous post), my name wouldn't work since they never put accents in, and it's waaay too Portuguese. So I will roll with either the preset, or whatever is deemed as "canon" (like Minato Arisato/Makoto Yuki for P3 and Souji Seta/Yu Narukami for P4)
