Soejima has good taste confirmed.
:lol
Pretty interesting to get insight on how Soejima designs stuff.
I don't know why GI decided to include that promo art from the anime, though, because it is clearly not Soejima's handiwork.

Great article. I can never read too many interviews with him. Really cool guy.
WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE POSE NOT MARIE'S OUTFIT AND I NEVER SAID IT WAS STYLISH ANYWAY IHATEYOUSHUTUPYOUSUCK.

Eh? I liked Marie just fine, found her charming but didn't romance her though again, I maxed out her S.Link. But I won't say that she's not actually polarizing within the world of P4. Still, I thought she was a nice addition.
Her dungeon though? Mehhhh... due to the forced mechanic but was easy to get around it actually. Oh and the music for the dungeon is quite nice, as it's one of my favorite tracks of the P4G OST.

Looks like Marie fits into Arena pretty well, from what we've seen. Makes me sad that her implementation in Golden was so haphazard. If they'd fleshed her out more, this would be a pretty cool addition.
I think we have a different opinion of what constitutes as stylish.
She is "anime stylish" meaning that it looks cute for an anime character, but would look kind of weird/off in real life, that's how I think of it at least.
When you think about it though in general, that "anime style" thing is pretty much what 90% of female anime character designs are like anyway, flashy.
Yep, just like that Persona 5 info we were going to have in early 2014 (though, the more time goes on, the more I think that might have been some kind of mistranslation).
Soon could mean anything for them, as we should be well aware.
Her outfit is vaguely realistically stylish in that there is a kind of fashion that looks like that (Scene). Her pose is pretty typical animu though
Narcissists?

Kind of works the same way when you see some of the male characters' outfits.
For instance, I think both Yu/Souji and Akihiko rocking all white for their winter outfits is cool, but at the same time, in the real world, the look doesn't look that great if you have silver hair and are super-pale.
Teddie's outfit in the P4G epilogue falls into this as well - it's a nice look that works well in game but odd-looking if I saw some dude wearing on the street.

Yes what I meant though is that her style is definitely not something that you would see on the streets on a regular basis, and it would stand out
Absolutely. Anime is general has flashy designs that just work. In your own head when you are watching you actually don't even think twice, but if you saw a person that even remotely resembled Teddie on the street,I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't be able to take your eyes off of him because of how odd that person looked lol.

"Soejima's favorite game is Persona 3; his all-time favorite characters are also from this entry. He said android Aigis is his number-one favorite, followed by Yukari"
Well ill be damned, i always thought his favorite character was Narukami since he closely resembles Soejima.
"He does believe it's important to keep the fans happy, but he finds it more important that he and Atlus always present something new and original."
And this is why ATLUS are one of the very few company's that stand out from the flock. I wish other developers had this mentality.

Yeah, yeah. I suppose its just feels like its been so long since they even acknowledged the game it gave a bit more impact for me.
I think most of the good ones do. I know for a fact that Bungie feels this way. They've talked about it a lot.

Among those you also have Naughty dog, don't forget them, brilliant people.
But come on we can't forget the top two publishers that keep on pushing for that mentality, Activision and EA!

Even when I'm out in say JapanTown in San Francisco or am just in downtown in general, I do see the style on the streets, but I admit I always do a double-take before pushing it aside. Nothing wrong with it but yes, it's still uncommon to see it regularly on display.
Basically. I've seen great styles that work for certain people - whether in real life or in a celluloid fashion - but it certainly doesn't translate well for everyone. Cosplay works a bit like this too as if you are cosplaying as a certain character because you share a similar build/look, then regardless of how the outfit looks, it will look great. Cosplaying as your favorite character but not completely looking like them is often a crapshoot as it can go either way.
I'd like to think that "soon" meant something cool. Last time an Atlus Japan person said "soon" about upcoming projects, we got announcements precisely one month later.
Wonder if it's worth posting the article in gaming for that. Seeing that Soejima preferred Persona 3 to Persona 4 is interesting.

Good to hear. I haven't really been following Destiny, so im please to hear this. Im a massive Halo fan, so ill be sure to pick up bungie's next title in September.
I think alot of 3rd party developers have lost their way in the last few years. This is probably why im more inclined to purchase a Wiiu over a ps4 and xbone.
Hahaaa

The thing that actually shocked me the most at the end of the day wasn't actually Soejima's opinions on his favorite game or even his favorite waifus. It was the fact that this was a featured interview with him by Gameinformer.

Hmmm so that's the reason. Oh well, the Adachi S. Link episode will be worth it.
Oh maaaan are those PQ avatars? YEEEES! And even the P3 cast got updated and Labrys and Sho have models!
My man.
You don't like yourself? That's sad to hear, bro.

I just took that in! Future PQ DLC? I mean since this is already a game that
plays with time and space by putting both P3 and P4 character together...
It's a joke and all, but there's obviously a hint of sincerity in it and I'm just going to say that Atlus already said there will be no more PQ DLC.
Aigis confirmed for bestest character by Word of God himself!
I'm an unrepentant bastard, is it okay then?
names2hard4you

Jokes aside it'd be pretty neat no lie aha! But it is a cool touch not only the models being based off PQ, but also having the P3 gang updated to their present age in P4AU's storyline.

Listening to the PQ soundtrack while on my commute and knowing I still have to wait until the fall to play... Ugh.
The music is so good though I haven't even gotten to the P4 side yet.

Those models aren't based on the PQ art. They're just chibi versions of the characters.

Aigis is a great character indeed. But since my childhood, androids scares me. If she become human like Pinocchio it would be great. lol
Kazuhisa Wada said those models are based on PQ art himself.
Rei's even going to be in it at a later date.

Persona 4 was more lighthearted and had livelier characters, and every time he envisioned its rural setting he kept thinking of the color yellow, "like the wildflower you see along the streets," he said. But he also liked yellow because it was a color of warning, so he felt that worked well for the murder-mystery premise.
So what does the color red bring to mind?

I stand corrected! Those models look pretty different from Soejima's PQ art to me, though.
Anger, anxiety and distrust.

It could also mean passion, warmth and determination.
This isn't the first time a Persona game has been represented with red, though.

The Japanese associate red with heroism.
"In Japan, red is a traditional color for a heroic figure."

...Funny, I thought that would be hot pink actually.

But those chairs and chains... looks more like a desperate tone, to fight against something oppressive. Remember you are slave...

And that's why I'm thankful this series has a pantheon.
My two favorite characters in fiction are robots
(Legion from ME2 and Bladewolf from Revengeance)
Makes sense. The red guy is always the leader in sentai shows.
GO GO POWER RANGERS.
