He also claims to look like Piccolo and Case Closed, so take that with a grain of salt.

What are peoples thoughts on the location of P5 now? When the last trailer came out it was said to be based on Shibuya, but not Shibuya, and the Crossing didn't quite line up with the real one. With this one however apparently the underground area is labeled Shibuya Station, and the Crossing in the OP seems to line up with the real world one pretty accurately:
Although both in game crossings seem to be shot from opposite perspectives.

Why are people calling the pigtail girl "Anzu"?

Cause apparently the kanji in her first name can be read "An", "Anne", or "Anzu"
Because there is no clear consensus between "Anne" or "Anzu" yet.

I see, thanks. I hope they stick with "Anne" or "Ann" for the english version. "Anzu" sounds so strange. Especially it doesn't fit to her character design, in my opinion.

I had completely forgot about this and I'm not sure how to feel about remembering it.

I believe Anzu makes more sense, considering it's written in kanji.
Technically, that doesn't mean anything. Japanese names can be incredibly weird, meaning that there is a possibility that the kanji is meant to be read as "Anne" instead of Anzu or An.

Is it just me or why do I not see any likes for Persona on his youtube channel?

Anzu means apricot in Japanese. I don't think it would sound all that weird as a girl's name, seeing how they're often based on flower and tree names. But Anne perhaps fits the gaijin look better.
Also, hi Persona GAF! I've been a fan of the series for some time now, and the P5 trailer has me hyped for more news, so I'll hang around in the days and weeks and perhaps months to come.

Prepare for never ending cat puns!
Anne makes sense to me. Getting a heavy foreigner vibe from her, specifically french.
Consider:
Arsene Lupin was french
Base of Operations is a coffee shop/cafe, perhaps her parents run one due to french origin?
Red white and blue hoodie (France, USA, England)
The whole cat-suit/spy motif lends well to a french stereotype
The wavy pigtails, to me, are evocative of french style. Particularly the wavy part.
However, who knows! Could be anything, she could even be straight up japanese.

Who's that?
The name and the design give off foreigner to me. Can't remember if I said it here or the other thread, but also the way her hair is colored - it looks like she's a natural blonde. That only occurs to me because if you look at Ryuji's hair, that strikes me as a dye-job.
I love the reform school idea, myself. But it'd be fine either way. The fact they're delinquents with surly attitudes is probably going to create an awesr dynamic. We often say SEES were like co-workers that rvebtually became close. The IT were fast friends that deepened their bonds further. The P5 kids seem like they'll have a pretty distinct group dynamic as well.

Kanji had eyebrows?

Pretty much yeah. The only way for Persona to become super mainstream is for it to be scrubbed clean of it's Japanese-ness
Famous Japanese voice actor best known for playing Lelouch in Code Geass. Apparently he was the one who announced the arrival of Persona 5 at the concert and will likely be voicing the protagonist.

They're so tiny I keep forgetting.
Yes?
To be fair, I had to check before I wrote that, lol.

It's only in 240p and my recording stuttered in a couple of places but I got all the songs that were streamed from Persona Super Live 2015
Right here.
Good audio quality too.

Did even notice that, I was just looking at the shading/color.
Adding your observation though, I'm sure she's narural/Ryuji is dyed.

I had to miss this because of school and work, thanks!
I asked Pepsiman about it on Twitter, and here's what he had to say over several tweets.
Pepsiman said:
Basically, it's probably not a delinquent school. If anything, it's the opposite. My interpretation is that it's probably referring to them more as like academy brats. Think Arsène Lupin or Lupin the 3rd.
At any rate, anyone calling it a such a school is jumping the gun and/or creating their fanfiction.

Very nice, thanks.
Edit: man, I really like that second piece but it's so small, isn't there a bigger version?

I think the videos posted here have slightly better quality:

I don't have a source (just browsing twitter, reddit, etc), but i keep hearing people say that it sounds like a reform school, but the cast is there because of society failing them, and not the character's faults at all that they are there.
If this is true, it makes sense with the theme.

It's looking to be a normal high school, through Hashino's statements.
Oh, cool! I'll also replace my Youtube version with a 360p version soon but those are even better. Thanks!
Edit: Done.
The Persona 5 PV01 has officially surpassed the views of the Persona 5 announcement teaser, and is thus the highest viewed video on Atlus' Youtube channel. Not bad for only around 34 hours.
The video was uploaded on around 7:00 AM EST right?
Still got like 14 hours left for that video to even be two days old lol.

This is what I said yesterday.
That dude looks awesome. Really like his AOA portrait.

Since the cast look like delinquents, Persona 5 should have skipping class as an option.
Ai confirmed.

One of the screenshots shows what the Protagonist has equipped.
秀尽学園高校制服：冬 is what he is wearing. The kanji reads "Shuujin Gakuen Koukou Seifuku: Fuyu" (Shuujin Academy High School Uniform: Winter"
That would be rad.
And than have it have consequences. Do it too many times and you will be expelled which means game over pretty much.

I don't think it's a reform school, but a regular high school.

I think the idea of making the characters a bit more down to earth this time is a genius idea. It works as a nice change of pace from previous games but it's also a great juxtaposition to the fact that they become larger than life masked vigilantes when they summon their persona.
