Doesn't PQ releases a few days after/before Smash (and Pokémon)?
So I was wondering.
I saw some pictures of other avatars to use in the lobbies in Ultimax aside from the ones available from the start, like Zen and Rei among others. Does anyone here know if they are unlockable or something?
Also is there anything else to spend your P$ on other than those little pics you stick on your P-card? Haven't unlocked any new announcers yet so that might be something maybe?

Well it will probably release close to Wii U Smash(which I'm also buying) and I'm skipping out on Pokemon to get PQ.
Girl's practically a P2 protagonist like this. "Get in the car, newbie, and start making engine sounds. We're gonna go tug on Stalin's nose hairs until he reveals the secret location of Shakespeare's diary."

I'm actually starting to really like the logo now. Reminds me of a racing series logo lol
Yeah same, so many games are coming around that time that some are sadly not gonna get picked up this year. Persona Q is something I've been sold on since it's announcement and probably one of my more anticipated games this year along with Danganronpa 2 and Bayo2/Smash. I'm a huge fan of Strange Journey and love the Etrian Odyssey games, so I have a good feeling that Persona Q is gonna be amazing for me. Can't wait for it to release and finally start exploring!
Yeah, there we go.
I don't hate it, it'd just look better like the image above.

Ah gotcha you were refering to Smash 3D. Uggh, I can't believe. Those four games (both Smashed and the Persona games) come out sooo near each other. ;_;
But I guess I will get the Persona games first because they are heavy story oriented and I doubt I could remain un-spoiled until Christmas.
Glad to see someone else excited for PQ!

What about without 2 5's

It's better, but the font and placement of the 5 still bug me.
I'm surprised by how much a simple change can make such a difference.
Also agree with Buddha about two 5's.

Oh okay but all the logos are like that (P3 persona 3 etc).
Honestly it doesn't make much of a difference to me.

Yes, but since the P's tail is right next to the P in Persona I dunno it doesn't look good. It's not a big deal, though. It's just a logo screen and I'll live.

It struck me odd as well. I like this revision, but I think it should be taken a step further:
Bottom 5 feels redundant.
I didn't edit the image, and I don't have the skills to remove the smaller 5 or else I'd try it.
Oh damn. Well done! It really does look nice now.
Things like this are most likely to change during development tho. So expressing our feedback is good. I wouldn't be surprised if that's why they showed it off so early.
I thought that the logo looked a lot better in the trailer when it's just white with no shadow.
I have a feeling that's how it will look a lot of the time.
I'm also pretty sure there's some logic to the design of the P and the 5 layout, though I haven't worked out what it is yet.

What do you mean by logic?
I mean that there'll be some reason that it looks like that, like there was with Persona 4's slanty writing.

Oh, my God. I'm dying, Lollipop Dave.
He means Atlus has a tendency to over-think everything in the design process. Especially if Soejima is involved somehow. Because Soejima reeeeaaaallllly seems to like over-thinking stuff.
I think I might be agreeing with you that it's not quite logic tho. >_>;

I hope so. If it has purpose, I can hate it a little less.

Hey, that's interesting! What was the reason for P4's?
UltraGunner

Was there some deeper meaning to Persona 4's logo looking like that beyond a stylistic choice?
Here's my (admittedly strange) theory: The logo - especially the way the P and the 5 are placed - are meant to symbolize that you can stay true to yourself and keep your individuality while living together with others. The P and the 5 match perfectly with each other; they don't have to change their shapes to fit together. Both the P and the 5 symbolize two different outlooks on life that seem to clash at first glance: The P and the 5 are the first and the last characters in "Persona 5", respectively. The P is a letter while the 5 is number. While the perspectives differ, they manage to stay together and form a unified whole.

This is what happens when you spend too much time looking at a logo.
I don't see any 'non-obvious' logic. They were always going to have Persona spelt out in full, after that it's just a case of 'what style looks cool and how can we fit a 5 in'.
And my opinion on it. A 5 has that natural curve that is easily fitted to the curve of a P. The slant? That's to keep the logo in a nice and tidy rectangle so it's more uniformed and neater.

It's grown on me for sure, but it's hard for me to overlook the double P's and 5's :<
(I prefer my edited version lol)
If the presentation text is all styled that way I'll be a big fan. Persona 5 maybe to have some sort of racing theme? heh.

If it wasn't slanted I think I would like it more.

I didn't hate the logo when it was revealed but I didn't like it either, I just remember thinking it looked like something from a racing game. Now I like it primarily due to how strange it looks.
The hype made me finally start playing Golden. Just half an hour but I'm already quite impressed by the amount of new stuff. Most of it so far is totally unnecessary, but I appreciate the work they put into it.
Also, maybe it's just because it's my first time playing Persona 4 with headsets, but Dojima's voice sounds a bit off. Though, to be fair, I remember most of his "non dialogue sounds", so that may still feel familiar when the social linking starts. Nanako still sounds just like I recall.
I really like Marie's voice too, which is a relief since after watching the first episode of the Golden anime, I was worried I couldn't get over HanaKana :C
Also surprised by how good it looks, it's the first not native res game (it's not native, right?) on Vita that doesn't look like shit (from the ones I played, of course).
Still aching, still aching, oooh

I love your avatar. I just saw that thread, actually. While the rest of OP's argument was well-argumented, the yellow-dick-sucking part seemed oddly out of place.
I'd probably bubble-wrap my controller as a precaution. There's a chance I would throw it at my TV if I died at the worst possible time and then that played.
...I actually can't find it. I felt sure that Soejima talked about it in the P4 art book, but maybe not. Maybe it was in a different interview, or maybe I just got mixed up, who knows? :S
Either way, there'll be a reason that the logo looks like that, I'm sure. And I bet you we hear about it in a year or two. Like Sophia says, Soejima overthinks everything.
As an aside, when I was re-reading the P4 art book interview just now, I was reminded how much Soejima contributed to P4. It's crazy, and I really hope he does a similar amount for P5.
I will say, its growing on me

I'm sure we'll get a new logo when it gets pushed back to 2016.

We'll probably have it delayed for Europe. Atlus really likes us.
Maybe when SMT5 comes out we will have an actual release date for SMT4
