Not sure it takes an expert to realize that no streams of any of this directed towards a US audience is pretty lame.
That said, I'll have you know I do work in games marketing! I'm no expert though, lol.

Back to the starter Persona having only a small handful of skills, though it looks like we can get the skills out of sequence? Blue is Sukunda, skull is Eiha, and physical is Slash. Each question mark corresponds to a potential skill. Also, Arsene is weak to Ice and Light, but resistant to Darkness.

Ok, so Baton Touch becomes the R2 command if you activated 1 More! So in effect it's like passing on a Smirk.
Ahaha at the logo popping up and everyone applauding and the guy being like "Wait, we're not done, there's like two more minutes of footage left"
Edit: I wonder if this trailer was given to Atlus USA before the 5/5 event, because there's a conspicuous absence of all the new characters from that

I don't know how much you know about marketing, but I'm an expert!
Maybe we will get a new trailer with the new characters tomorrow?
It seems to be pretty early in the game, which is probably why the new characters aren't in it (you haven't met them yet).
That was sort of confirmed by the Japanese Persona twitter account and a voice actor implied that the ninth party member would be featured in it, so yes.

The battles are so faaaaast!
It's amazing what mapping the commands to the d-pad and face buttons has done for the speed of 'em.

What if we get PV1 again?

what if we get the reveal teaser again
The 2D one is triggered if you end a battle on an All-Out Attack, and the MC-running one happens otherwise, I think.
Nice catch. Funny that this is the one that had to be cut off.
How many actions? I missed that.

It was unclear - it showed all the possible things you can do in a day, but not the max number of things you can fit into a single day.
If it's like Persona 4 Golden, then you have Morning, School, After School, Dungeon, Night, repeat.
There are likely to be changes though.
On another note though - I'm taken aback by the lack of reaction to Takemi Tae's reveal. We saw her silhouette in PV#1 and never got to see her face until now.
I counted like 7 or 8 different visited areas. But about 4 or 5 of them looked like they would take up 'time' if they were in P3/4.
Obviously stuff like visiting shops or the school stuff wouldn't, but he seemed to work multiple jobs, hand out with ryuji, go to the movies, go into a dungeon, do 2 different night activities all in what was implied to be 1 day.
If you have to choose how to spend your time 5 or 6 times a day instead of 2 times a day like in P3/4 then that's crazy
exciting
It might not be all that stuff in just one day, could just be a trailer "this is all the things you could do" thing.
Hanging out with Ryuji seemed much more involved than in previous games. You even had to manually follow him along.

Everything seemed more involved. You actually go into the cinema with your cat rather than just a fade to black.
So much so that like makes me think it's a story cutscene event similar to when Junpei took you to the police station in Persona 3. I mean it even cut to the weapon shop after following Ryuji in the footage.

Few more details in there from the footage.

I had this same thought. I'm sure they were showing more things than could actually be done in an in-game day unless this game only takes place over a few months rather than a year like P3 or P4.
Also nice to see people were right about the PV02 theme being the battle theme, but it sounds even better than I would have imagined with the vocals.
At this point I'm most excited to hear a clean version of the soundtrack.
On that note, did they pitch it slightly down from the PV#02 version or am I imagining it? It's hard to make it out very well in GameSpot's off-screen footage.

Persona 5 is up soon on this stream, just after Kingdom Hearts
Should be direct feed stuff

From what other people said this is more of a one-sided hustle to gain strength, money or recruiting them.

I think I saw where someone did; IIRC, it wasn't really negotiation in the sense that there weren't any bad choices. Seemed like it might be a replacement for shuffle time? Picking like "Fight for me!" or "Give me money!"
Tar and feather me if I misread though :V
I saw that, and it has assuaged my fears for the most part. I just have a tiny needling worry, but I'm a worrywart, so that's par for the course, heh. It does look better overall. I just remember playing one SMT game a long time back when I first got into Persona, and was still new to the whole shebang, and being utterly confused. That Pokemon parody comic does a good job representing my own experiences.
My fears aside, I do rather like the look of the demon/shadow (saw that apparently they may be shadows after all?) accepting to join you. It looked pretty neat. This game just oozes style.
edit: Persona 5 about to come up on the Playstation Livecast stream

That's what that Famitsu screenshot had, but there's clearly a bit more to it in the gameplay footage they showed at E3. Check this bit:
https://youtu.be/oqcl-GRkVVU?t=298
There's a conversation between the protag and the Persona/Shadow/demon/whatever and the enemy seems to have positive/negative reactions like SMT negotiation.
Most likely just the gameplay footage we just saw right?
They have the main translator, Mai Namba, up right now, so maybe we'll learn something.

It seems pretty clear she doesn't know anything we don't. Or she's under strict restrictions.
Yeah. I was hoping a tidbit or something at least. Pity.
That said, Teddie over Morgana? No way.

I usually ask myself how I'm going to wait this long for P5, that feeling lasts for a few days, then I find myself being too busy with life and other games and forget about it until closer to release.
....Right now, I'm asking myself how I'm going to survive for another 8 months.

"So what about social links?"
"Well they're going to involve-"

Maybe it's just familiarity with fan subbed version, but there were a few points of that which bugged me. "Beauty Thief" being the main one.
