I wanted to try it, but locked room games really isn't for me=/
There was the tribute to ZE in Danganronpa 2.
I used Monokuma coins to skip it /confession

I'm taking my sweet time getting through 999. I gotta get that done and import and run through VLR before Zero Time Dilemma is out.
The escape rooms kinda interrupt the story's pacing imo, but I'm hoping they'll click eventually.

Beat P4G again. Probably my last time playing through P4, it takes me too long. But it's always a good feeling at the ending.
EDIT: Maybe I'll finally get around to drawing some more Persona stuff.

Neat art of the P5 cast from @ibisF5 (posted Ann before):
The chains are definitely one of my favorite aspect of new Persona summoning, though I think we've only seen it with the protagonist so far.
I don't know how far you got, but, at least for me, the worst part in that game is getting to the first ending, because the pacing feels really odd and you don't really get to know/like any of the characters. I do feel that the game, as a whole, picks up after that, though.
Oh, I just realized my first comment here isn't even about Persona. Sorry!

Kind of maddening to think we still have so little concrete details on P5. What is Hashino doing?
I might have thought along these lines before the huge TGS blowout, but now we have quite a few details if you ask me. We just need a release date, the remaining party members, and maybe some combat footage/info and we're golden.

By and large we still have very little, it was all derived from snippets of footage. P3 and P4 had massive blowout trailers by this point in time.
We still don't even know how the social linking will work(if it's even in).
P3 and P4 also had much shorter advertising periods too. I'm sure we'll get a Famitsu/Dengeki blowout sometime around the time we get the release date, whenever or however that may be.

We know enough about the story/themes of P5 now, they don't really need to talk much more about that before release. So I'd expect the next blowout to be much more focused on mechanics, which we don't really know much about yet. And another charecter reveal ofc.

I like the art! Thanks for sharing.
As for the chains, they've also shown up when Ryuuji summons Captain Kidd in PV#3 and the September Famitsu scans. So that's something. I'm guessing every character/persona combo will have chains, we just haven't seen most yet.
Oh yeah, they are shown with Ryuji; I've been trying to not look at the released media too deeply, but I had to check for that. Chains are definitely going to be a universal motif with the characters' Personas. Wonder how it'll look in motion during combat.
The chains also represent what I think might be more of an antagonistic or conflicting relationship between the user and their Persona than before, but that's just speculation. Could also be a way to symbolize the total opposite, reinforcing the symbiosis between both entities.

I think it's an analogue for breaking free from the chains of society, since that's a major theme this time around.
It's not that simple when it comes to what it would signify in terms of a character's relationship to their Persona. In every single Persona game, their Persona IS the power the characters have to confront society's obstacles and overcome them.
From what you're saying, the fact that a character would now be "chained" to their Persona would be a negative thing, ala Strega. They'd want to break free from the chains that bind them to their other self, because the characters' Personas represent themselves, not society.
Combine that with Arsene's extensive monologue towards the protagonist and some of what's been said about the game, and there could be implications of a more complicated relationship between a character and their Persona.

I'm always bad at interpreting this stuff. That sounds AMAZING.

Don't you mean the "bond"? -_-
Do you know what screams "I hate bonds" more than anything else? Red, spiky hair.

He is! Dont you remember him being labelled p5_hero in the ultimax files!

Ultimax. Or more accurately "Why Atlus sucks at writing human villains."
Or villains in general, to be honest...

Are you trying to kill me?
As demonstrated by my tantrum a couple of threads earlier, I would be very upset if Sho was in P5. However, I would love to see him return in a future spin-off game. The character has so much potential that it hurts to see what they did to him in Ultimax.

Always nice to see stuff about Sayoko aka "superior Devil s-link" aka "clingy seductress done right, (glares) Rise". Good job!

Sweet!
Love the lore.
The mountains of dialogue probably didn't help. For as much as I like the Danganronpa games, I can only really play them in short bursts, because of the way they are presented.
These type of games in particular, are so verbose, and so convoluted, that I'm sometimes surprised at how many people actually manage to finish them.

Thanks. Im going to try and hunt down a copy of the Revelations Persona OST if one exists at a non stupid price.

Japanese sites would be your best bet there. Mandarake is a good place to start if you don't wanna deal with proxies and forwarding and whatnot.

I have no problem going straight through danganronpa, its just 999 I couldnt do. Its probably just the whole visual novel thing...Danganronpa has a lot more in common with adventure games than it does visual novels
Heh.... I can't remember how fast I finished Danganronpa 1, but it was like... two or three days or something at best? I like verbose stuff.

Fate/Stay Night would break you. That was just too much ado about nothing. I speed read and that still took me months.
Dood, I used to have a Fate/Stay Night avatar. Nasuverse stuff is some of my favorites. =P

His core writing and major story beats are great, but he wastes waaaaay too much time on Special Cooking Works. Don't get me started on the eroge, blech.
Also, supposedly he's up there with ZUN as being very protective of his works to the point of being a nightmare to work with. Aksys pretty much all but said that he's the reason we aren't getting CCC.
Amazing. These have definitely been highlights of this community thread.

Thanks for the comments on the Persona design, guys. Only a few left.
Rarities, "link skills", collectibles. That has all the makings. Now that gachas are even more widespread, they should take a better whack at it!

Don't forget how you blasted through Danganronpa 2 immediately afterwards. ;P
