It's wonderful, congrats on getting it.
I put Corridor on with Rainy Mood and it's basically the most melancholy but also relaxing thing ever
It's good, but kinda depressing
and this is the best Persona 3 ost that no one knows about

This one will be broadcast at midnight, but only if you look at your TV alone while it's raining. It's curious though, even though it feels like it lasts for several hours, the clock says it's only 12:01 when it's over.

Different orchestra, but there was actually a concert last year which preformed a bit of Persona music, and was livestreamed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V49pc-5tbWI&feature=youtu.be

I'm having trouble remembering when exactly this is used in game
Final Persona 4 dungeon. One of the best dungeon themes in the series.
Actually I don't know. I don't think there's a way to find out who tagged you.
I got it right, yes.
. It's sort of wonderful, that this will be my legacy on this site.

Was about to edit my post as I just remembered, haha. It's such a lovely piece, I don't know why I didn't immediately place it.
Yeah, 8 minutes for a song that is actually fairly repetitive like that would probably be too long. They have 6 games to cover in 2.5 hours. I guess, divided equally, that's 30 minutes each (consolidating P2:IS and P2:EP into one like they did in their list).
From a really quick look for the longest track they played in a previous concert, the longest I saw was Dreams Dreams from Nights at 6 minutes.
Edit: Thinking about it, I'd be equally excited to hear the Persona 1 and 2 arrangements as I would the Persona 5 tracks. Perhaps more so since I'd be able to recognize the tracks.

Apparently set list go up a few months in advance, looking at a few of the other ones. At the very least we might learn the names of some P5 tracks.
Guess for it to work they'd need to chop off the first 2 minutes or arrange it to finish off a sort of medley to end the P4 'section', if they do indeed perform the games in blocks.
I dunno, it's still one of the more interesting songs I feel they could attempt to perform.

They might just list it as Persona 5 Medley if the OST tracklist hasn't been released yet.
For all you "Ken is the unknown on the cover" people.
And if you're that confident it is Ken, match me. Don't be scared, homie.

I'm... not sure I've seen anyone post that here? That idea has never even entered my mind until this post.

It was prolly Kagari. I think she looks at this thread every now and then.
Not really, "Crow = Ken" is equally as idiotic an idea.
That's aside from the fact that we've already heard his voice, which is completely different from Amada's.
Can't believe we're at this point and people are still seriously speculating about Persona 5 like we're in 2013-2014.

the real question is what role ariana grande's character is going to play
(i know the blurb will read something like "she'll be important to the plot" just like makoto and haru and yuusuke's did, but that doesn't say a lot you know?)

There's still mysteries, so speculation will still be had, no matter what year it currently is.
The "Ken is the mystery 9th member" is the absolute dumbest Persona related theory I've ever seen
Even beating out the "Sho will be in P5" theory
You should do this anyway!

one of those is yuusuke and the other is the last party member though (you can tell because of the hair sticking out of the bag)
Not all speculation is equal. Some is actually substantiated with proper evidence and logical reasoning. Some is actually based on precedence and context. Some is baseless drivel from people who still can't comprehend that Persona 5, at its core, has completely disassociated itself from the settings of P3 and P4 and that there is absolutely no chance there was ever going to be a party member as a character from any of the previous Persona games.
The matter of year relates to the fact that we've had a proper amount of information to determine this fact since at least February 5, 2015. If not that, then definitely September 2015.
At least some of the old MC art sorta lent itself to the Sho comparisons. Perhaps even facilitating Soejima to redraw them.
Believing the Ken thing means you not only give credence to a "returning character as party member" gimmick but also that P-Studio would be dense enough to choose a character not even that well liked.

Guess it's good that I'll be pleased whether that idea's true or false, then.
edit: In all honesty, I'm not even sure how sincerely I believe it. Guess that means I don't.
"Sho is P5 MC, because the color red"
Ah, what a ride waiting for Persona 5 has been.
I kind of want to, wearing schoolgirl uniform would be fun. 20 *good* pullups would be way hard though. I can only do about 8 right now, 3ish months to train for it I guess~

P1-P4 were just video games in the P5 world. It's like Digimon Tamers (or Loop).

Didn't they also pull that in one of the Star Ocean games that totally went over well?
but have you considered that sae niijima is a shadow operative
Heh, now that one I have heard. I won't say that it's as dumb as the "Sho/Nanako/Ken are party members" stuff because "Shadow Operatives" could just be given as the name of whatever investigative group "the enemy" is a part of without dwelling on it or giving any big exposition on their place in previous games (basically, just as a piece of fanservice for fans to then take further as they see fit or to create a piece for future P5 spin-offs).
That said, it's pretty out there as well and it's very likely not happening. That's not to say that one of the antagonistic groups won't be a shadowy organization looking into supernatural activity for the betterment of mankind, but called or associated with the "Shadow Operatives"? Nah.
I would like to see them place an actual year on Persona 5 in the final game, though. Not a fan of the "20XX" stuff; it's always neat to have a concrete time reference to at least mentally place when this is happening and put it in context with previous Persona game timelines, if one's so inclined.

20XX will allow them to keep the setting fresh and modern should we keep seeing spin-offs until 2024 when Persona 6 gets released.

That's Shu. They mean a character from Ultimax.
Also I have no idea why people are doing this to themselves
I think if it's not 2016, the alternative is that they actually have decided to do away with a specific year for whatever reason and it really will be "20XX" as a vague, but not definite time frame. That'd possibly distance Persona 5 further from any real connection to previous Persona games, too (or give them room to breathe, depending on the consequences P5's ending has on their world and what the team decides to do with it next).
I think of Catherine and how that didn't have a set year associated with it,
though I imagine a lot of that was because of the twist they set up with where and when the game actually takes place
Thinking about how P3 and P4 were set in the near future, something I'm also thinking is the possibility of P Studio presumably not being too into how the delays actually made real time catch up with their designed in-game time? Dunno what the thematic/design reasons for that would be but, hey, it's something to think about if they stick with "20XX."

or maybe it's a plot twist that it takes place in 2011 alongside P4
This is 100% sarcasm

The final party member is Yosuke before he moved to Inaba.

P5 is breaking a few series norms with it's setting already anyway, with being set in Toyko rather than a fictional location. Could just be that they decided to not tie it to a specific year.
