I need to buy a 3ds so I can play Persona q already.
No, CrimsonFist is right.
Aigis: "Then... my personality was created using you as a model?"
Mysterious Girl: "There's no direct corelation. There were several different test subjects, after all. You are you. It's just that we had a direct link so I was able to talk to you when you first woke up. That's right... In human terms, I guess I'm kinda like your mother or something? A-Ah, but, based on our outward appearances, I guess I look more like your younger sister?"
How many of them are hospitalized girls is anyone's guess. But assuming that Labrys's mother and Niko are not one and the same, then we have at least four.

This should give the concert start time in every time zone.

Oh. Well, that kind of dilutes it.
But if that's the case, why does Labrys only seem interested in one? Maybe the girl meant there were several subjects for the ASSWs as a whole, not several per individual unit?
And another thing. How exactly does physical appearance get taken into account? Maybe there was a subject for each aspect of the ASSW (Face, personality, etc.)?
Welcome to the very reason I want a compendium like book for Persona 3 onward. Having all the information in one place would be really nice.
Labrys herself, if I recall correctly, is only based off that one girl, as is the rest of the 5th generation. The P4A interview mentions that Aigis's personality is a composite, where as Labrys's is not. Again, assuming I'm recalling the interview correctly. I have the transcript at home, but I'm not currently there so...

I thought the outward appearance line was just referring to the fact that she looks younger than Aigis. The girl in Moonlight is described as having black hair.
If Aigis and Labrys are the best, where does that leave Metis and Genesis?
DEAR JRPGS: DON'T NAME CHARACTERS GENESIS. I HAVE SOME TRAUMA
Huh, that's interesting. And probably the product of people starved for info. But we can't rule it out...possibly a party member?

Re: Labrys and Persona Q (spoilers for both P4AU and PQ)
I don't think Labrys's mother and Niko are related at all, aside from the fact that they were both confined to hospitals.
Niko died at a young age due to a complication in surgery, whereas Labrys's mother was diagnosed with a fatal disease, and willingly submitted herself to many examinations in order to help doctors better understand said disease.
Going even further, Niko's entire character hinges on the fact that she views her own life as meaningless. She claims she died without achieving anything or being loved by anyone. I don't think that applies to Labrys's mother, consider she was responsible for helping doctors better understand and treat her illness AND she was the base personality for 5th generation anti shadow suppression weapons. Also, considering that Niko had to shave her hair off, it's highly implied that her disease was cancer.

Metis
is just the byproduct of Aigis, and therefore they are technically one and the same person.
Genesis canonically does not exist, so screw him.

It would make sense to have Aigis be created differently from Labrys since
she went berserk. At least those psychopaths at ergonomics learned something.
Metis isn't real. She's also shit.
And that goes for Gacktbot, too!

You're right about that. In the P4A interview, Yuichiro Tanaka from Index says that
"They basically copied and pasted one person's entire psyche into Labrys..." and that "Aigis, on the other hand, was installed with a basic personality that was a mix of several people and edited heavily..." He doesn't specify if this applies to all Gen 5 androids.
Metis is Aigis, which means you just said Aigis is shit. I do believe you have just declared war against robot life itself. Skynet has been deployed. Have a good day.
Huzzah! I like being right. >.>
It's not explicitly specified, but I like to think that seeing as the information about the girl came from Unit #24 (an older unit), that they were all based off the same girl.

I think that's a safe assumption. I just wanted to point out that he only ever refers to Labrys in that interview for accuracy's sake. The game dialog kinda fills in the blanks from there.

Well, someone's painting with a broad brush.

I remember people talking about that when the trailer first came out. I mean it's possible.
I don't get why so many people are expecting anything beyond minor cameos for any previous entries in P5. Nothing in history suggests they would ever do that considering everything that features the P4 cast has been labelled as such.
I guess that's not quite the case with P3 in regards to P4U but that was a dream game anyway, it doesn't count

I think that's believable. The whole "more detailed character" things is usually a stable of how things like that are animated. At the least, she may be an important character, if not a party member.possibly a party member?

That would be hilarious. I would pay good money for a game where Yu Swagtagonist shows up and constantly bullies Chair-kun.
Yu's popped collars makes this even funnier LOL.
I always think she got so detailed in that shot , because she is in the front of the camera or in the close-up of the shot.
But so part of me wants to believe she is a character in the game , she have a simple but great design.
The thing i love about Yukiko , simple but beautiful.
PD Hell she even have a black coat ... maybe a uniform of the P5 school.

Damn, I hope not. Mika Shimotsuki needs to stay the hell away from Persona.

A friend of mine is about to play Crisis Core for the first time and asked me what I thought of it.
I said, "It's really surprisingly good except for one very unfortunate character who basically ruins the whole damn thing. It's a lot better if you pretend he doesn't exist."

I have two floors left in Persona Q!
I CANNOT express how much i hate Mika. She damn near killed PP for me. Hopefully the movie turns it around
Who?
aww we all know Naoto's robot motorcycle boyfriend is the real deal

Hey guys what's going on in this thr*crushed by spoilers bars*
So just beat the mini-boss on floor 7 of the Rise dungeon. I'm level 29, Kanji is level 29, Yukiko is lvl 27 and Yosuke is level 27 too.
Should I grind now? Any specific personas to go for? I heard the next battle can be quite tough. Is it best to just grind the second to last floor over and over?

Have a persona that is either immune or absorbs ice ideally one with media or mediarama and you're golden for the upcoming boss. Just remember to guard when the boss does any kind of charge ability. Generally if you redo the previous dungeon for quest items and then run though the new dungeon you'll get enough exp to be at level without excess grinding.
-------
I was thinking for a name for my MC in Persona 5 , i think i got a good one : Kanzato Ryo or Ryo Kanzato.
Ryo-chan / Ryo-san sounds fine
The dungeon boss is level 35 and you always fight boss battles within five levels of the boss.
You're fine. Just proceed normally and figure out the best startegy/persona setup you can. Worst case scenario you need to gain a level or two for the ideal Persona.
Decision to draw Yu with eyes like that was a great one. xD
Don't worry Yosuke, Dojima's got to have someone to smoke with.

Thanks, those are some yes! Though not quite complete, have you the persona sprites somewhere too? And Margaret has pretty few sprites.
Mika Shimotsuki's a character from the second season of the Psycho Pass anime, also known for her hair scrunchie.

Scrunchie girl is the ultimate in fan reaching theories. I'd expect something like that from Lost fans.
