The only thing about the tease that I immediately connect with Persona would be the Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman part, but even that might have some layer to it that I don't understand because I lack knowledge about Japanese pop culture. The umbrella thing confused most of the people commenting on the original post as well - the guesses are split between Resident Evil and Persona.

iirc, Featherman is based on Choujin Sentai Jetman specifically. I can't see anything else in the premise of Fiveman that would connect to what we know of Persona 5, aside from the "Five" part of course.

When you put it that way it makes sense.
Like Diehard and Aadrian1234, I don't mean huge modifications to the script or anything. The only places I would "require" the game to acknowledge relationships would be places where it would otherwise be jarring, something like the situation in Zolo's post or just a few minor changes to things after you enter a relationship/max out a s.link (I can't think of the specific situation but it involves Chie). Taking that a step further would be something like Aadrian1234 mentioned where the game simply acknowledges your relationship outside of story scenes or those post max slink meeting.
And something of interest happened! (Even if it seems like a stretch)
Implying the rumor is correct (im in the RE team ...but who knows at this point).
I really hope they announce something in the E3 about the American release.
Not like i was expecting to play the game in June or something , but with this japanese release window , unless they are working already in the game or made a fast localization i see it coming in the 3 first months of 2017 at this point.
Or
#TeamSummer .... but that date is like fucking end of summer / most fall (but still works).

Something else came to mind. Rather than the "however, you are already in a relationship with another girl" at certain S-links, the character would say "But what about you and *girlfriend*-san?" Meaning you have to either lie to the character's face or admit that the other girl means nothing to you. You Bastard.

I started playing PQ again. Man, this game is hard as heck but it's still fun.
The rate of enemies getting stronger is faster then me and the crew levelling up.
I don't know who the heck this bunny is but I'm getting tired of chasing it.
I made the grave mistake of not giving Yukari a Recarm spell... I still won but Morris (Minato) got killed. I was like, "This isn't happening again."

I love it. That was some Da Vince Code style reasoning that would be awesome if it ends up true.
Going through the spinoffs for Persona since I've never really done that. Beat P4 arena and the P4 storyline in ultimax. The storyline for P4 felt okay. It was kinda neat to see certain characters interacting, and a couple of the joke endings were pretty entertaining. I also liked Labrys who had a good backstory, and I felt actually blended into the cast really well.
Persona 4 ultimax story was....ugh though. I know a big part of Persona 3 and 4 is about finding strength though others, but it's brought up way too much here.
I still doubt it'll really be good, but hopefully the P3 story is better. On another note, I only played a bit of it, but I enjoyed PQ from what little I played, but that's probably because there's more character interaction which the Ultimax P4 story seemed to lack a lot of. Gameplay-wise, I've enjoyed all of them though.

I didn't really care for Sho, but I had to lol @ Adachi's 'You're just a kid throwing a tantrum because someone was mean to you' as if Adachi's background was in any way relatable to someone actually getting inhumanely experimented on through their lifetime. I also don't really care for Adachi here either, so that didn't help. I also thought having a set story instead of multiple ones would be better, but if anything, that just means it focused on the main story which sucked while watching character interations like Fuuka/Yukari/Rise was more entertaining. The big bad was also awful with his 'Graaagh! How could I fall to the power of BONDS!' Erebus in Persona 3: Answer was more intimidating as a giant monster representing humanity's wanting of death then this dude talking up a storm.

Ultimax legit has one of the worst stories ever. Completely wretched and unnecessary trash.

So, now you know the truth.
The next PSC episode (featuring Hikaru Midorikawa, Akihiko's JP voice) is scheduled for April 28. Teddie also says that it's almost Golden Week (April 29 - May 5) which probably means nothing.
I could go on to theorize how May 5 (Children's day) ties into that rumor, but I guess I wrote enough nonsense yesterday.

Stalker Club has run through all the P5 characters now, although technically they haven't done the MC in the same format as the others, so we could still get him.
And we went through the 5/5/15 stuff last year, and all that came of that was some Persona 3/4 music as part of a concert.

It's a odd scenario I'm in because I'm craving for persona 5 news but I would rather they stay quiet if the game has a late release or gets delayed again.
They might do Caroline and Justine next.

Also possible, but there's no footage whatsoever for either of them, just that 2 second clip from the opening.
Although there wasn't much for Yusuke either.
edit: And a bit from PV2 I guess
I'm in the same boat, so all I'm looking for is a release date.
I'll go ahead and be that hopeful guy and say I've got this good feeling we'll get news in May.
We keep saying this since February .....and we going to reach July - August saying the same every month

Also followed.
For me, it was
his inner monologues, especially when he's getting the tar beaten out of him.
I owe you a apology for my previous post hahaha.
But is not easy to keep faith all the time.
Wonder what are they going to show ... this time they have at least show a better window like a monthly release of something (August 2016 - September 2016).
And pls god more gameplay not more cutscenes / random stuff.
322 more hours, isn't that 6 May in Japan?
Or is the countdown tied to my computer time and just counts to 5 May, 23:30 regardless of time zone?
I have 330 hours 22 minutes right now , so i suppose is tied to our computer timezone.
I see, so it's actually supposed to count to 5 May, 23:30 Japan time (UTC +9).
So it's 16:30 in Central Europe and 7:30 in Pacific time zone, certainly not the worst times.
I had a feeling that something was actually going to happen on May 5, 2016, but I disregarded it like every other "feeling" I've had for Persona 5 over time that's been proven wrong again and again. "May 5, 2015" in particular was a thing we were thinking about last year, and that went by without nothing. 5/5/5 would have been cooler and, in retrospect, we know why they wouldn't show anything at that point in time, but now they're obviously ready enough to go with the 5/5 hype.

A lot of people are expecting a worldwide release date but think it will be Japan only info. Hope this announcement brings more persona announcements after the dry spell we have had in recent weeks.

Yeah I can't see them announcing anything for the west

Just a year late.
Atlus USA would have said something by this point, don't expect an NA release unless Atlus USA teasing information the day before.

Guys, is it time to make another avatar bet? I loved the Persona dunce avatars that we had last year lol
We have one going on right now, actually. 1 vs The World on whether the P5 release date will be delayed or not.

i cant believe it we're actually getting news, now summer doesn't seem far fetched

I'm totally with you. Think the most logical thinking is this announcement is for Japan and the most likely spot for western release information is e3. I'm just hoping to hear the game is nearing completion and no more delays.
