Yeah, when the trailer showed how badass he looks as a thief, it gave reason to people draw him as the new "boss in town". He looks way more confident, making more sense to shut down Yu in fanart.
I really, really want them to make an noncanon miniseries (anime probably) that's all about them trying to one up one another.

It's true what they say, Persona has something for everyone
Is author/artist aware that Morgana is a girl? lol

And Junko as the waifu

Say no to interspecies love.
I guess technically, none of us really do. I think Morgana's gender has been assumed based on her name, but I don't think Atlus ever said anything about it.
Apropos of nothing, a repost of the opening numbers for the main Persona games in Japan (via Famitsu):

Morgana is referring a pretty famous female figure.
Gonna take a shot and say 600,000+ opening week. Could totally blow past that expectation though.(or underperform idk japan is weird)
Fair enough. More reason to assume the other way for stuff like that, though.

Isn't a reference to Morgan le Fay, the sorceress from Arthurian legends?
I wonder what the P5 cast is gonna punch in the face.
Would be better if P4 read "I'm gonna punch myself in the face."
I assume it's a reference to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_One_Thousand_and_One_Nights_characters#Morgiana
Seeing as Ali Baba was a pretty famous thief.
Would be better if P4 read "I'm gonna punch myself in the face."
Or I'm gonna just keep punching until I can see what it is.

Yeah, that looks much more accurate. I wish I knew more about Arabian legends.
I'm very excited to see Persona 5 come out, from the perspective of the attention it will get and sales.
Top 5 persona game openings:
I'm thinking the minimum opening in Japan for Persona 5 would be around 400-500k, and even that would be a huge success for the series.

It is. Morgana is another name for morgan le fay.
Also mostly characterised as a villainess and a seductress too, and seeing that she represents lust, well...
Good write-up. Basically confirming parts of Chie that I like.
i think the ali babar thing is more likely that arthurian legend but really who knows
I would guess it's a mix of both.

So glad it's not more best girl shit.
Pretty good description about what makes her a compelling character, esp. her insecurities.

Seeing that it's been mostly western themed so far with the 7 deadly sins and features mythological ties to characters who might not be be morally "right" according to society, I think the arthurian legends might be more likely.
I wonder what the P5 cast is gonna punch in the face.
The series has rapidly descalated it's aspirations.

P5 will be probably be more punching society in the face. P3 didn't have all that many anti-society themes. They punched death and depression in the face.
That will come out before SMT x FE

I feel like Persona 1 was more "Punch little girls in the face" than punching God. Especially since one of the three "God" enemies in the game, the most apparent of those three, was sort of a bynote to the other two in the end.
God Kandori is chump change compared to Pandora and Nyarlothotep, but in-story he's more obvious than Nyarly, who legit just cameos during the boss fight.
Now, INNOCENT SIN, that is a game about punching God in the face. Because,
When Philemon persuades you to sell your relationship with Maya and your friends in exchange for Maya's life, you can literally punch him in the face.
A lot of the stylistic elements of Persona do undoubtedly make various allusions, which often are wide and varied. That said, there is a tendency (some would say, an unwillingness) to simply read things as they are.
In no way is this a knock at the community, because quite frankly, I often find it to be interesting. On the other hand, some conjecture does occasionally veer off into the ludicrous...
I'm pretty sure that "because it looks cool" is probably the clear winner here.

Catching the guardian in P4G is waaaaay easier on the vita than it is using the dualshock 3.
