Ugh. Maybe I'll just get another used PS2.

Yeeeeah, Haru looks better in her thief ensemble. Her haircut is dumb without the hat/mask combo; should have given her bangs, Soejima-sensei.
Sae Niijima's design is great, though!

Yeah she'd definitely already in the upper echelons of Makoto's.
But can she top... Makoto "talent" Kino???

The Makoto... chooses its owner.

These new images and the new PV have left me wondering why we haven't seen more images of those really cool tear away close ups of the characters as was seen in the first full PV?
We've seen more of the traditional full head portraits accompanying the speech bubbles a la P3 and P4
. I hope those didn't get the axe as I thought those were a unique way to present the characters during dialogue scenes.

that I was hoping P5 would ditch entirely since it's running on new hardware but c'est la vie

Makoto Nanaya still best makoto, but we will see how this one stacks up if thats even the name
There are a lot of good Makotos though

Morgana has a car? Have I completely missed something from before?
That's actually a pretty accurate description. Her casual wear is pretty much the type of outfit you'd expect someone at least 10 years older than her to wear.
She can shapeshift. More likely than the dude, she's probably Ryuji's facemask in the plane from the trailer.

She's so 'eh' to me, I'm convinced she's gonna hook up with Mystery Guy/'Crow'.

God I need this game so badly.

Yeah, Haru's design (and even Makoto's to an extent) reminds me of early, rough designs of Soejima's that didn't make the final cut in other games. But mostly I just dislike that 50/50 part on Haru's hair. Yuck.

I feel like Haru being plain normally then letting loose and becoming gaudy in costume is the point.
The thing is that, particularly with Persona 5, the character designs cannot be taken in isolation. Soejima obviously would consider this: the dichotomy between how they are as a "normal teenager" and how they are as a Phantom Thief is important. The juxtaposition between the two manifestations of a character need to be conveyed by these differences and similarities.
Personally, I think Haru's Phantom Thief design is one of the most striking, and a huge part of that is because of how dramatic her demeanor and overall look is in that form compared to her normal appearance.
I just realized: with Necronomicon's level up screen, I wonder if we just won't get 2D art of the new personas in-game. People would most likely have to wait to see the evolved forms.
Yeah, she feels like she was designed with her thief outfit, and only that, in mind. I'm honestly not liking Makoto's concept art as much as I like her model, too.

Yeah. It feels you can already get that to a point. Along with that, you also have:
Makoto as this rough, angry biker type chick which probably correlates to how she can't really act in real life.
Sakura's this super confident super hacker whereas she's obviously shy and has societal issues in real life.
And of course, Haru seems to act dramatic when she probably has to act calm and subdued in real life.
DELETE THIS !!!!
I get what he was trying to go for, and I appreciate the dichotomy between designs (her phantom thief design is obviously fantastic) but I just don't like her base design. It gives me this massive case of deja-vu, I don't really care for it overall. She especially sticks out in comparison to everyone else, who generally look amazing.

Well after my PS2 cooled off, it apparently will read discs again... It struggles to get there, so it won't last, but at least I can play more P3FES tonight.

You and me both, pal.
What's a fedora supposed to even mean, anyway? Where did that tired as balls gag come from??
Please localize it as deWinter if only to nip this in the bud.
I see what you mean, though I guess it doesn't bother me as much because of that dichotomy, because of her background and also since I'm actually fond of the more plain designs for characters in this context.
Well, this all kinda starts when
he beats someone up for harassing women in what is presumably his normal form,

Does Atlus usually change things like that?
Yeah. It seems kinda strange that
his profile list him as seeming like a normal, mild-mannered student when it seems he'll have 'Oh. And he beat the shit out of this one dude.' on there.

What if she's your parole officer?
What if she's Makoto's mom?

This is starting to sound like a challenge. :|
We can do this .....

I kinda like that the protagonist's story apparently opens with
him decking some harassing asshole. Like, most protagonists, including previous Persona ones, stumble into something weird or life-changing to start their journey, but here's this dude starting shit with some scumbag instead. It's vigilante-esque.

I mostly like how it puts to rest any concerns I had about him being ultimately self-serving. Though I guess now I've still got to worry about Ryuji.

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And Id like to take a minute
To just let you know
Ill tell you how I became a thief in a town called Tokyo
We did see them as cut ins during battles, I think.
I am really glad they didn't ditch the full head portraits. They are so nice to look at and so many new JRPGs got rid of them.

I will somehow get her to approve of me, just like how the G Gundam's Natasha eventually fell for Argo.
