Yo man Mitsuru/Yukari are probably the most good looking females of the Persona series. More so than the female cast of Persona 4. As for male cast Makoto and Akihiko are extraordinary stylish and good looking.

I know it's a matter of opinion, but I just can't comprehend this.

This man speaks the truth. P3 cast have so much more style than the P4 crew.

Hey we may get senpai's in our crew in this one.

The more I look at this image the more the middle screen bothers me, the background colour is similar to the cut ins on the side and there is room for five separate cut ins on the side (though I believe we only see four) and there is five different characters on that middle screen so I'm under the impression it's the same image.

It's hard to really confirm this as the image in the middle is far to blurry to compare the cut ins and try to match them up on top of that I can't find a character on the screen who matches glasses kun which would throw the idea that there only 5 party members out the window. I was ready to just write it off as a generic advert but the more I look at it the more the characters stand out as having more detail than the people on the street and the idol advert.

And now the point I'm at is that those characters may very well have some importance, the main things stopping me from thinking that they might be party members is that they look similar to each other in terms of design whereas I feel like the last two games each character has had their own distinct style and on top of this they don't really look like high school students. So I guess what I'm saying is I may have gone insane.

My question is this, is this teaser supposed to be a prequel to something being shown at TGS? Like a gameplay video or a longer teaser or something?

Or is it just a standalone?

 

[Hot Coldman]

 

[AquaWateria]

Best name for P5 MC is McCurly or McCurls.

 

[MSMrRound]

Or is it just a standalone?

From what we heard, there's going to be a Atlus stage event during actual TGS.

Whether it's Persona 4 Dancing alone, or maybe some glimpse into Persona 5, we wouldn't know yet.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

5 seems a bit on the lower side in terms of party members.

 

[Mdesilva]

Makes total sense. Even on his shirt, those two arrow-like things... Yup that must be it.

Arrows… so Yukari is in this game? :O

 

[buddha0991]

P2IS had 6

 

[Green Mamba]

Why are people assuming there are five party members?

Because there are five chairs?

I can't help but feel that there might be five chairs because the number five may have some sort of symbolical purpose to the game, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

5 persons, 5 chairs, 5 phones - Persona 5. 2015. Play the quinary game.

Someone else posted an image that shows the first few frames of that part have the same cut-ins for the middle screen.

Edit: Here it is. Look at the middle screen.

Middle cut-in mentioned earlier. Sorry if old.

 

[Nap1400]

I don't think there will be only 5 party members, but I think they'll make up the core of the group. sort of like how MC, Junpei, and Yukari made a core group in Persona 3 and MC, Yosuke, Chie, and Yukiko made a core group in Persona 4.

Huh. 3 members, 4 members, 5 members.

 

[JNA]

Persona X Zero Escape?

Day 1

 

[MSMrRound]

Still waiting on the worst-cook-ever Priestess character, headband character, non-human character.

 

[Trigger]

I don't see P5 having such a small amount of party members. I wouldn't be upset if it did though. I'd have more reason to use everyone in combat if it did.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I can't help but feel that there might be five chairs because the number five may have some sort of symbolical purpose to the game, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

I think the idea came from the fact that after this trailer one of the chairs on the P5 website had it's shackles break so some people think that each chair represents a character.

Ahh, perfect, thanks.

Hm, I get what you mean, but I feel like P3 didn't have a defined core in that way. Or maybe it's because I've played P4A's story mode recently and see Mitsuru, Aigis and Akihiko as just as important as, say, Junpei, if not more.

 

[MSMrRound]

Think we can expect anything from this week's Famitsu/Dengeki?

 

[Lunar15]

Think we can expect anything from this week's Famitsu/Dengeki?

It's possible. I think it kinda depends on when in 2015 they're aiming for. If it's the first half of the year, then yeah. If it's the second half, then probably not.

 

[Levito]

Think we can expect anything from this week's Famitsu/Dengeki?

Possibly, thought I believe they may be saving additional information for TGS itself.

 

[MudoSkills]

Brit GAF! :h5:

 

[Spectrasonic]

I just hope the American release is still 2015 after this delay. I'm going to backtrack on my original position and say that the PS4 port was likely because of the delay, instead of what originated it.

Still waiting on the worst-cook-ever Priestess character, headband character, non-human character.

Don't forget about the Magician who loses their love interest.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

We have to hear about dancing all night soon, right?

 

[Blood Diamonds]

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

Man... that's brutal lol

 

[Ganzlinger]

Yo man Mitsuru/Yukari are probably the most good looking females of the Persona series.

Indeed. I remember the night I entered that dorm. "Are the ladies included in that contract, creepy boy? No regrets then."

Truly is the Final Fantasy XV of Persona.

Nah nah breh, this time around everyone in the entire city is an awful cook, making us all "slaves" to the convenient store industry.

 

[Gbraga]

I like how people are going nuts with the new protagonist.

Like this

I'm also mindblown by the amount of quality fanarts out there, those two are my favorites:

[names2hard4you]

So far from this thread it's only been Dantis and mine I believe. I would love to see other's posting their take on Glasses-kun. PGAF is full of talented folks.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Can I assume Kanji is gay or is it confirmed that he's not gay?

 

[Ganzlinger]

Do you guys think that Igor will still be the Velvet Room master?

 

[Blood Diamonds]

.

 

[wmlk]

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

Thank you. He's definitely gotten better but I don't always see it as more 'attractive'. Maybe he's better at making attractive characters look attractive, but I don't think everyone's just beautiful now.

 

[names2hard4you]

Do you guys think that Igor will still be the Velvet Room master?

I don't think so... With the VA dead, and their whole thing about voices belonging to characters... It's not like they could get away with using old lines in this game. Maybe Philemon will be back?

 

[Vox Chaotica]

So far from this thread it's only been Dantis and mine I believe. I would love to see other's posting their take on Glasses-kun. PGAF is full of talented folks.

But I already posted mine ;__;

 

[A Dead Diehard]

Can I assume Kanji is gay or is it confirmed that he's not gay?

Considering the only people he shows attraction to are, in fact, women... probably not.

 

[arue]

Prepare to die of laughter.

I lost it when Trimegistus came flying in. Freaking genius.

 

[CorvoSol]

Can I assume Kanji is gay or is it confirmed that he's not gay?

Kanji is whatever you want him to be.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I don't think so... With the VA dead, and their whole thing about voices belonging to characters... It's not like they could get away with using old lines in this game. Maybe Philemon will be back?

Hm... This reasoning doesn't work because of Ultimax.

 

[names2hard4you]

But I already posted mine ;__;

AHAHAH did not see this one sorry! ALRIGHT, 3 so far. Come on PGAF we need more Megane love up in here

 

[cj_iwakura]

Can I assume Kanji is gay or is it confirmed that he's not gay?

It's deliberately left up to you.

My personal opinion is that he's effeminate, but straight.

 

[names2hard4you]

Hm... This reasoning doesn't work because of Ultimax.

Spoiler

I was told that they are using old lines from when he was alive.

But you own the game so you could actually confirm that for me

 

[DryEyeRelief]

I would be fine with 5 party members. It gets kind of crowded when more people are added.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Spoiler

Whoever told you that was mostly wrong. Minor spoiler:

Spoiler

Igor is in the story, with new lines and both a new English and Japanese voice actor.

 

[AquaWateria]

I wonder if P5 female cast can be as great or even surpass Mitsuru's and Yukari's character design. That's unless the cast is an all boys group like Final Fantasy 15, which would be so hilarious.

 

[GamingBird]

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.

well siliconera specifically stated that p5 is coming out 2015, not "early 2015". if it was still within the "winter 2014" time frame, then wouldnt they have saod "early 2015"?

so the game HAS been delayed. i know u compared this to catherine, u know, the whole "winter 2010" thing and then tgs then BOOM release date "2011" then "feb 2011"

hope this doesnt become a smtiv and p5 gets delayed to june 2015

i dont think p5protag has a shy or reserved personality, sure hes got that more elegancemanly look than swagyu but im pretty sure the personality is shaped by the player. he can be as manly as u want in your own game

 

[names2hard4you]

Well then he can still definitely be the Velvet Room host. Personally I'd like to see him in there still. Inside an app or something LOL.
