I bring you the P5 cast:
@ Miguel and PK
Everyone on the Investigation Team is close friends, even though they don't show everyone's interactions without Yu being in the picture. Wouldn't a whole group of people jumping inside a TV, and that being such a paranormal occurrence, constitute for everyone bonding with each other and getting close? That's just how I see it.
For the most part this is me. I don't even want to know the rest of the cast.

I think this is the one you're talking about: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/09/01/persona-5-director-hashino-another-message-fans/
Lol
At this rate, the amount of Harry Potter jokes in P5 discussions will be as much as Hiimdaisy references in P4 discussions (outside of this forum.)
Regarding P5 news, I'm okay if I see the first four party members like the original four in P4. I just want a simple description of them and I don't want to see their inner conflict or anything. I'll also watch the rest of the trailers and even the opening movie of the game.
I bring you the P5 cast:
Since when is the Lovers Arcana reserved for horrible wastes of every single person's time?
This is Ginny's Arcana:
Because just like Ginny, you always go UGH when you get this card.
Perfect. Thanks!
Big city is going to be interesting. I wonder how they'll utilize it since they totally nailed the small town feeling with P4 and a lot of the game's map was designed around forcing the familiarity and nostalgia of a small, rural town.
The Persona team puts a lot of meaning behind their choices. I feel like one of the most important aspects of the short clip we saw was the sheer amount of people in every scene. From the crowded train to the crowded crosswalks, the idea of isolation (Phones, Screens, Diversions) in the midst of a dense population seems like a pretty core theme, especially when you consider the whole "prison" angle they're going for.

A big city is certainly an interesting setting especially after P4 and I'm really interested in seeing how they will present a big city, I don't expect them to give us an entire city to explore but I do look forward to seeing how they segment a big city without it feeling too disconnected.

I doubt it would be that crowded in game, but if can manage to pull of the same population density as Kamurocho from the Yakuza series I think it can still get that idea across.
I think I'm only going to watch Atlus(and Famitsu/Dengeki) released stuff. They're pretty good about avoiding spoilers for the game itself.

The P5 protag really does look alot older than Makoto and Yu. It's almost as if hes in college.

He looks exactly the same age to me.
Can't wait to see Soejima's art of him.
I think we should set a hard rule regarding Persona 5 spoilers
Absolutely no Persona 5 spoilers. No posting screens of things that haven't been officially shown (even if they don't technically constitute as "spoilers")
Even spoiler text shouldn't be permitted (someone can always make a Persona 5 spoiler thread)
Yay? Nay?

Seconded. I'd imagine avatar spoilers will be rampant, though.
I mean, this is what we've had for the last two OTs.
Basically, we want people to be able to go in completely dark and not have to leave the thread in order to do so, right?

I'm pretty sure there will be a spoiler thread/story discussion thread on gaming side. The OT should be safe.
These rules already exist and have existed for two community threads already.
Man I shoulda broke these rules three threads ago. With all that information about P5 I had back then.
I was thinking it should be a joke about how Sho isn't the protagonist. Something like "A definite no-Sho" or "The Sho is cancelled.".

"the Sho doesn't always go on"
Too good to pass up on this one.

Sho doesn't deserve to have a thread named after him even if its taking the mic out of him.

No, I like the No-Sho one more.
Infinitely better than Edgar Allan Bro, though. That was a forced one.

Yeah, we don't even know for sure he's going to be an alcoholic!
Oooooh yes.
I like this one that InsaneElite came up with:

I think its the color scheme, and the fact that he looks more broad/tall than the other two. It might just be my perception though. I've only watched the trailer once.

Coincidence?
I also vote for No-Sho
DISGRACE.

Who else here has played Persona PSP? I'm at Mana Castle in the SEBEC route right now. It's intriguing. The gameplay is really grindy and I really enjoy the soundtrack. I've been spoiled on the ending but I enjoy the way the story is unfolding right now. I'll probably do the Snow Queen Quest once I finish.
I'm playing P1 and Eternal Punishment simultaneously right now. I recently finished Innocent Sin and absolutely loved it. The constant battles got old but I loved the characters and story.

I actually think he looks younger than Yu, but going by the 2 on his lapel, he's definitely in the same grade, if not exactly the same age.
But yeah, I'm dying for the official Soejima art. His official character renders for the P4 cast are still some of my favorite pieces from him. The shading on them still blows me away.

You joke, but at the same time - how cool would that be?
Unfortunately, I think Persona is just too damn popular to avoid spoilers completely. I'd like to go on blackout and don't even know my party members, but avatars and gifs being used everywhere won't let me
Super cool.
As an aside, Soejima really likes to frame his character's faces with those bangs. Loads of his characters have them or something very similar.
