I'm betting the stealth thing is just a way to get first chance attacks, though there could be stealth missions.

1) Calendar System remains. Cool!
2) Party cut-ins during Dialogue. Looks slick. Good replacement for portraits.
3) "Commu" has become "Cooperation." Unclear if it means anything. Otherwise menus look like the standard fare (Look really cool though).
4) Dungeons look to be actually-designed this time. This is good, because the games these guys worked on before P3/4 had extremely well-designed dungeons.
5) Enemies continue to appear on screen, there appear to be stealth mechanics to bypass them in some situations. Unclear if there is an advantage to doing this.
6) In the equipment shop, when selecting Glasses-Kun to equip, the menu option has "JOKER: The Fool" written under it. Unclear what JOKER is, in this context.
7) Is that Vincent? Also, Velvet Twins this time (new ones).
8) Now we get a battle scene. Battle UI looks familiar.
9) ...But they're fighting Sandman and Pyro Jack. Either those are Demons or peoples Personas are running wild.
10) Brand-spanking new All Out Attack animation. It looks dope as hell.
11) ...Digital Devil Saga?
I like the look of it. It's all very pulpy and feels like some hyper-modern anime take on some 40s pulp novel about cat burglars. It looks slick as hell. I want to play this video game.

So at least 4 character confirmed in the trailer just off the first few shots. We see 4 characters jumping on the roof top. First on is MC (we can tell from the trenchcoat)
second is tights-chan,
third is unknown, we don't know who this is yet.
fourth is Yosuke/Junpei dude (we can tell from the scarf)

Trailer made it a lot harder to wait for whenever the game is going to come out. I do hope they end up toning down the social link stuff a lot from where it was in 3 and 4, always found that part of the games really tedious.
I like what i see so far though, makes me want to get around to finishing up my P4G save.

I admit stealth worries me a bit, it has been shoehorned into many rpgs and always sucks.

I thought of Junko as soon as I saw the girl in the trailer. And I like it.

Initial thoughts..
Not loving the design of the UI.
Apart from the general hype, I'm a little disappointed.

This game needs to be at Sony's E3 press conference.
This is it. This is Persona's breakthrough. Come on, don't screw this up!
Pretty sure persona broke through already.
Betting the english version appears at E3 though. Not going to bet a 2015 release.

The presentation is fantastic, P3 & P4 both had great style but this is just leagues ahead.
I'm not disappointed so much as I don't love it.
It doesn't look bad, but it's miles from what I expected or wanted.
The World Ends With You is actually a really good comparison. It's definitely moved further away from groundedness and further towards cartoon.

Anyone think the colour will represent how the game will be?
P3 = Blue = Sadness
P4 = Yellow = Bright/joy
P5 = Red = Passion? Excitement? Anger?

Wait so are all the NPCS on the street faceless?

That's why I'm disappointed.
The approach that it seems to have is not what I was expecting or what I feel like I want.
Duckroll posted this in the main thread.
Sold so freaking hard. I like me some anti-heroes.

Quoting from the trailer thread.
So we're basically a band of bandit vigilantes who fight with other factions?

I think I know what you mean Dantis, and I think some little part of me share the same worry as you do
Do you know, or anyone know, how dialogue is to be presented in p5? There is obviously no more dialogue 2d portrait of a character. So how is it presented, is there a screenshot, does that trailer show it?
who is that sexy nurse character, the one where MC sits beside her in a room facing tons of computers

You don't say.
I just wanted a game made by the same team. That's what we got. Here's hoping it's quality.
It always was an Anime game to some extent, what did you expect, QTEs ah-lah FF13? We don't need that IMO.
I. Am so, so, so happy right now.
This fits to what I've always wanted to a tee, and yet never expected. Catherine-like graphics,the style, the character designs, the overall more mature, but still comical tone.(Kind of reminds me of anime like Lupin the 3rd and Cowboy Bebop; two of my most favorite animes) Prowling around the real world, Personas(Demons) roaming around, and an overall more urban-vibe than P3 could even attain?
And even with all that, we still don't know shit about the story.
I'm sorry, bu I can not see this not be good, at least for me. So far it's ticked everything visually and tonally that I could even imagine.
Now I just need to hold myself from spoiling anything before it's released...Well, except maybe the opening(Since it seems pretty obvious that they spliced bits of the opening out to fit gameplay).

These are exactly what it reminded me of. So much. Even the AoA cut ins.
I don't like those shows.

This is a fantastic change, especially after the group dynamic of P4.

I agree it's really strange for them to go a cartoony route after the down to earth realism of P3 and P4
*kicks an enemy into the stratosphere*
*is literally a robot*
*giant cartoon clouds erupt as we all charge into an all out attack*

Who's getting the feeling that these characters look more mature this time round? Wow!

It's a message from Hashino and the dev team to fans. He talks about how Persona 5's main influences are School Juvenile fiction and Picaresque novels. Unlike previous Persona games where the players were clearly a team on the side of "good" going after a bad guy, this time they're trying for something a little different. The story is about high school students chasing after their own interpretation of "justice" after an unexpected incident. He hopes fans will enjoy the enhanced graphics and sound in the new entry as well as party members who might be a little more ill-mannered than before.

That is absolutely perfect, I love it and this aesthetic so so much.

You're kind of in the super-minority on that, dude.
Anyway it looks like as far as weapons go, the MC uses knives, Kitty uses a sword, Magic Man uses a Haggar-esque pipe and Clover uses a whip. Nice to see innovation in weapon types.

Probably it's the less chibi look, but they definitely look older.

I do.
It's the difference in mood and tone from the original reveal and this trailer that got me. It certainly didn't scream prince of thieves and ransom note UI's
Obviously, final judgement is reserved for when the final product is in my hands.
I don't like those shows.
Look like collegue or adults in the "phantom" suits.
Hell they even prepare a heist in something like a bar.

I meant outside its niche. Yes, Persona 4 Golden has given the franchise a big boost, but I'm sure Atlus USA wouldn't mind seeing their profits greatly increase due to an expanded audience.

Isn't P3 and P4 a mjor breakthrough for them in the west though already?
Also I seriously love delinquent stories so this trailer got me hook line and sinker.
I am so hyped I'm not sure if I can sleep.

Oh, I'm aware. The fact that I know anything about those shows kind of shows how far reaching they are, when I know virtually nothing about anime in general.
But on a personal level, it is not what I wanted.
The music was badass though. Meguro doesn't let me down, even if Soejima does.

I suppose there are various barriers to break through.
