So true for me right now XD.
I played Dragon Age Inquisition on remote play and I loved it! Trying to play Shadow of Mordor with it however was kind of a pain. Once I feel the urge to play Farcry 4 on it, I'll see how first person shooters are on it.

Played a lot on it. My overall bullet thoughts in it:
- I played as a Mage Knight Enchanter. So keep in mind that majority of the time, I would just use my spell blade instead of the regular Attack, speaking of which...
- BECAUSE I didn't play as a Warrior or Rogue, I was able to avoid the odd decision of having the regular Attack button but the back top right of the vita. I imagine playing a Rogue in that game will be more frustrating because of the odd controls decision. You CAN'T change it.
- The game looked great on that super sexy OLED screen.
- THIS MAY VARY but for me, I suffered almost no connection issues besides one or two little freezes every couple of hours or so. And it lasts only a couple of seconds even then.
- ZERO lag for me. Again, that may vary depending on your connection but at my home wifi, I was surprised how great the latency was for this. Absolutely wonderful!
Overall, everything was functioning almost perfectly for me. My only complaint honestly was the odd decision on where they assigned the regular Attack button and how for some reason I can't change it. It won't hurt you much at all if you are a Mage but if you are a dual wielding dagger rogue, the controls will take some getting use to for sure. I would go as far to say that DA:I looked like it was made to be played on the Vita IF I was able to change the controls.
I also heard playing driving games like DriveClub on it was really cool. I have yet to try this considering I don't have DriveClub but I'll see later.
What I have yet to test Remote Play on:
FPS games (I'll try Wolfenstein on it)
More 3D Action Adventure games (Shadow of Morder was kinda a pain)
Online multiplayer
I imagine playing turn based games would pretty much be a god send for Remote Play. Hell, I plan to get the PS4 version of Persona 5 and just remote play that shit on my Vita. XD
I don't think the P4 video can be considered very spoilery. The mentioning of the shadow characters is not a spoiler but rather part of the basic story summary. Now I understand that there is a difference between just telling you there will be shadow characters and actually showing some of them, but I don't think it will affect your enjoyment of the game in any meaningful way.
Party members shouldn't be considered a spoiler as well, I mean we will see all (or most of them) on the box cover anyway. If it's really supposed to be a secret/surprise then they won't show them beforehand.
Yeah Atlus is usually very tight lipped about their games before release so I don't see why going on a media blackout would be necessary.

Not at all. At least not for DA:I. I think they did a great job with that as well. Everything was pretty crisp on my end. Filled the screen completely and was able to see text clear as day. It's like I said, it would be a great Vita game if I was able to change the controls.
EDIT: I'm getting The Order 1886 so I'm really curious how it will be like in remote play as well.

I wonder if the message from Elizabeth before the game's release helped.
"Please don't upload any spoilers after the 4th dungeon or I shall power/magic/agility seal you and throw you into a pack of FOEs"
Catherine had a similar warning too. I expect P5 will get one too. Probably issued by the twins?

I wanted to use some official art but none of it seems suitable for now. So I'll hold off D:My phone is Persona 5 mode now >

Just some quick thoughts:
- When the MC appears to be apprehended , what if it's the velvet room? It is a jail and he is in a cell after all..
- I get the characters are colour coded by gloves, but can't see morgana's so I assume black?
- Also, what if the figure skating scenes are actually puppetry ? Makes sense with the themes and can be seen elsewhere, i.e the protagonist on the train and the fact the velvet twins move like marionettes and look like toy soldiers / nut crackers.
- It's been pointed out before but the opening will be similar in, at the very least, visual style to burn my dread. Looks cool but could be symbolic of moving forward ala p2- p3, clutching at straws with that though.

So I read that many of you guys want to go on a media black out sooner or later, but what stuff do you want to learn about before that?
For me I need to know the following things (in no particular order):
- More tracks. Of course not the important ones from emotinal scenes or the end boss theme, but like the generic battle theme or one of the ambient tracks. I also want to learn about the new singer.
- 2D artworks of the characters. I totally want to see Soejima's official art of the characters, not only of the main cast, but also the side characters like the hospital girl and the weapon guy.
- More characters of your party. I just assume there are going to be more characters joining your party and I want to see some of them. P4 had the whole cast right on the box art, Persona 3 showed 5 of them (on the original EU cover). So they don't have to show all of them, but a few more at least.
- The (changes in) gameplay. Here I have so many questions, which I hope get answered in next week's Famitsu. How does the "Cooperation" feature work? If it's not like the S. Links, what about the S.Links? What's the deal with the Shadow-like enemies on the map and Personas/Demons in battles? How to obtain Personas? Are the stats like Kowledge, Charisma, etc still there? How about the daily life planning? What about the Missions feature in the menu? Are there still 2D portraits for conversations?
- A little bit more about the story. While we know the general theme, we don't know anything beside that. Not even something like "The P4 party is chasing a serial killer in their small town of Inaba."

I dunno. It's hard to say, considering we're mostly going off of design, which is the same thing that tricks people into thinking the P3 protagonist had a defined personality. I take the wait and see method.

I feel like the Protag being Clarku Kent-like might actually facilitate the idea of broadening the blank slate-ness of the Protag.
I mean, with the exception of his core friends, most people would know him as the meek-looking bookworm who gets thrown chalk on his head.
So, if given the options of the kind of responses to give out, one could arguably present the Protag's choices of one where he's using his facade to give out a meek-ish response, whereas a more aggressive one is where he lets his true character leak out a little bit.
So, having a core personality/development that's consistent from beginning to end, but at the same time, allowing for him to act like a bipolar dude who's all kind and meek in front of one, and hot-blooded in front of the other.

I just want to see some S link stuff and some combat footage, it doesn't even need to be substantial just enough to give an idea of some tweaks and changes that will be made to those system, similar to this trailer and the dungeon footage. Everything else I'd prefer to see for myself when actually playing the game, especially story stuff and other characters.
So I was thinking about what weapon types the remaining (secret) party members will have. What do you guys think about this:
Random anime picture from a girl with a sniper, but basically: Rise 2.0. She's support. What we've seen so far is that party members mostly have close range guns. I think a sniper would be a cool addition but it's not really close range unless we're going 360 noscope territory.
So what if she could be some kind of support character like Rise? Scouting the territory? If the idea about dungeons being heists in the real world now or whatever is true, she could be seated on top of a building or a random sniper nest somewhere firing off shots every now and then during battles like Rise does with her random attacks, no?
Just a thought :c

You might change your mind after seeing this:
Damn.
Edit: is that yours? I posted it in the trailer thread but I'd like to give the source if you have it.
Is that yours? It looks really nice.You might change your mind after seeing this:
To be honest, nothing more than what's in next week's Famitsu. I played Persona 4 six years ago while knowing next to nothing about it, and I want a similar experience with P5. That'll mean completely blocking out the usual channels where I'd be more likely to find spoilers without even looking, but that'll also give me more free time to do other things hopefully more productive ones. I have faith in both Atlus Japan and Atlus USA, so I'm not really sweating the juicy details, either.
It'll be funny if, after Hashino mentioned that they want players who complete the game to approach life with a newfound desire for change, some players who go on a blackout end up doing that before the game's even out.

Nope not mine, that person that made it, wrote that there'll probably a digital version. I am looking all the time if there's an update for this. Damn, I'm really looking forward to this!

Actually I posted this picture in the trailer thread too, with source. Look at the previous page.

I'm pressing F5 like almost every 5 minutes. I'll post it ASAP, once my eyes catches it. Gonna need to rip that cat from the pic do something!
That's not a random picture, that's Kozaki's sniper girl picture:O
We don't know if there'll be support character since it seems the dungeons are real world location (to the game) turned into demon invested. Unlike P3 and P4 where the dungeon is alternate dimension, navigation wouldn't so necessary. Of course this depend on how the dungeon work, it could perhaps warp reality and make navigation necessary but even then, support character will use electronic devices than sniper rifle considering the heist theme of the game. Maybe when shit turned to become more serious, a character with sniper rifle will appear. Who knows?
Man, Kozaki's so fucking good at drawing.
I hate him.
Also, a sniper would be cool, but I don't think it'll happen. Persona isn't really scaled to justify it.

A sniper mite be cool, but I think they'll probably have P5's Rise/Fuuka have the same fundamental approach as the predecessors... actually be legitimately relevant at her type of role for P5.
Actual intel support for the team in the heist activities, and beyond that when it comes to the demon stuff.

There should be a Persona 5 fanart thread.
Only if they include real guns, like Dragunov, Barrett M82A1, etc.(But they probably won't due to licensing, I think)
"Confirmed DLC." The only DLC that's been confirmed for P4D, as of yet, are costume sets.
I don't think they will be doing 18 min gameplay trailers anymore
What do you think the P4D special movie Blu-ray will turn out to be, then?
Nothing, pretty much. I don't need to see anything more concerning this game.
Erm, what? When did they confirm costume DLC?

I can dig it.
MC = handguns
Ryuji = Shotguns
Anne = sub machine guns
I'm wondering how are guns going to be used in gameplay? Is there anything special about them or their functions? Also how varied does the weaponry get going from previous games?
I was thinking of making one but the other thread is still really active.
Anime OVA? Tbh I forgot about that disc.
It's not just design, it feels like they're taking clear strides in setting up the P5 protagonist as his own entity—at least, in comparison to the other Persona protagonists. There was that bit in the live show where he directly spoke the audience, his phantom "phantom", and just the way he's presented.
There's simply more to him than any other protagonist. The fact that he attempts to pull off a heist at one point feels like a testament to that.
EDIT: There's also that animated opening sequence. I can't think of a megaten protagonist who directly appears alongside the other protagonists. (P4G doesn't count!)
I think the new setting has a lot of potential in term of a support character, it could have a much more active role than Fuuka and Rise had before, not only giving information on the enemy.
Also I just realized I have no idea on how the dungeons will work, in the trailer, we see what looks like the mc going through the window of a casino, but we actually never see the mc and other people together, my guess is that they are two different scene.
We also see the party only fighting demons, but never encounter a human guard, I'm thinking they might be conducting the heists in a sort of dark hour,
kind of like Strega run their business
It obviously wouldn't work like in P3 since we saw it's evening in the trailer, but that's my general idea, and it's just speculation.
Also I saw what look like stings hanging from the train driver's mouth, I think he's controlled like a puppet.
That train landing shot is so fucking good. Hot damn.
Also I agree. The first trailer presented him how the world sees him, whilst the second trailer shows how he wants to be seen. That very concept isn't possible with Makoto or Narukami. There's not enough there to warrant it.
Reminds me. I hope they do away with the single support character. Anyone not in battle should be able to give support. And I hope they get rid of the Rise crap in Golden.
I guess that's a possibility... Virtue's Last Reward style? It seems more reminiscent of the Famitsu DVDs for Persona 3 and Persona 4, but we don't really know.
What Rise crap?
Well, they do, kinda. Sometimes, Chie goes into battle on her scooter even though she's not in my party.
