I've been on a pretty thorough blackout since June (only read some headlines in my RSS feed) and it didn't spoil much or tell me many new things even so. I thought it was a nice mood setter for the game, and the writing and pacing wasn't nearly as terrible as I imagined.
Pretty sure the devs said they wanted it to be at least as content-full as P4:Golden was.
Edit: My brain's not working.

PS4 version is about 20GB, don't think we know about the PS3 one, although the disk version has a 5GB mandatory install.
Just so people are aware, even if nothing leaks until the preload happens, it's possible to grab assets from preloads on PS3 nowadays. Once that preload hits, there's a good chance that all portraits, music, voice files, and dialogue will be dumped pretty quickly possibly even models.
To be fair, she's even said that she really wanted to come back but couldn't because she was already booked for Gears of War. Considering her recast got the most outcry, I'm sure Atlus knows that people prefer Bailey's Rise to Burch's. Though whether that means she's guaranteed to return every time is another story.
They couldn't get her back for SMT IV Apocalypse either, so she might have gone the way of Troy Baker unfortunately.

Get your Persona 5 keychains featuring all members of the phantom thieves.
Where can I buy this? I need the Morgana one.
Maybe. Liam O'Brien's not reprising Navarre, either, and he was in a game as niche as Etrian Untold 2 last year. Things can always change, but Bailey's always said that she loves playing Rise and that she was disappointed that she couldn't return for DAN. The desire's there, if nothing else.
Thanks! I should be safe then at 60 GB space left.
Movic website but they don't ship internationally.
But Jintor-san!
Fun Fact: Episode Adachi is actual fan fiction that made it's way into Ultimax.

Haven't seen the second two yet, but they really, really nailed the moment when things get serious.
MC's reaction to Shinji's death was something else. Drove home how his passive attitude wasn't going to cut it anymore.

I always play Arcsys games on DS3. Can't stand using a stick.

I think I've only seen the first two PVs and some headlines in Siliconera, but thanks for the advice!

Siliconera's becoming a cesspool, so I'm done giving them the time of day. They only cover articles if it's PR or getting them hits.

Interesting way to see that scene. I wonder what the reaction to the full scene might be...

Oh yeah... isn't Morgana's voice like super raspy or something? I totally forgot we heard her voice before.
Yup the P5 animation is really good. I love the cast!!!
I don't think the honorifics stuff is lame... it's actually cool to me. Hahah

Atlus are inconsistent with it, though. They only do it with Persona, and (thank god) not with SMTIV or Soul Hackers.

I think it works in Persona due to the setting they chose. It would probably feel out of place in a less realistic setting for example.
Some day I'll play SMTIV. Some day. The delay for the European release truly killed my interest for it.

Soul Hackers also takes place in a modern day city. I think they only do it because Persona has a more light-hearted style to it, while Soul Hackers and SMT are more dark(cyberpunk) in tone.

Hmmmm.... I see... but wouldn't it had been cool to hear Burroughs from SMTIV call you "san" or "kun"?

Does Burroughs even call you by name? I'm only 10 hours into the game so maybe that's something that happens later
cj_iwakura

Nope, just 'Master', or maybe 'Messian/Gaian Scum'.

If I remember correctly... all she does is call you "Master". And what's funny is that I like her and Isabeau way more than "Hoy" Walter and "what do we do?" Jonathon.

So you want her to call you Master-kun? You're going to give the poor thing cognitive dissonance

Hey I never said that, that's slander man. SLANDER.

Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.
Honorifics in Western language translations are basically aimed at japanophiles - and I don't mean that in a derogatory way. They're great if you are just beginning to learn the language but know enough about Japanese society/culture to appreciate the subtle differences conveyed through them. I really enjoyed reading manga in translation with honorifics when I wasn't able to read the original versions fluently.
Once you've made the transition to simply reading the original version (or, alternatively, if you don't plan to ever make it), they're really jarring. There's a reason junbungaku translations never use honorifics.

Like any game, you get to choose yours. As for an official name, the best chance for that is when the manga launches on the 22nd.
As for the first two games being involved, I wouldn't count on it.
I liked honorifics in English when I was younger but not so much now, but it irritates me more how some translate honorifics into miss/mr.
No, and the Jokers from P2 were villains and had to do with the big bad of those games.

Yeah, I used to think they were above coincidence before we got Kagutsuchi instead of Nyarly.

It could be intentional, but not in a way that connects specifically to the Jokers of Persona 2 (although the Joker persona's evolution does bear a resemblance to Arsene...), in the same way that Ann and Yuusuke are evocative of Lise and Jun.
A theory I've had, especially after Daybreakers, is that

maybe that's not the Real Igor an maybe the Phantom Thieves aren't doing The Right Thing - I know Igor's old voice actor died, but the new one doesn't even sound remotely like him, you know, he sounds more sinister and I don't think that was unintentional, and you have the incredibly hostile Velvet Room with all the execution methods for fusion, so it feels like, you know, maybe they aren't on the right side of the law. Then you have Goro, you may end up being the actual good guy who'll get them set straight.

I am still thinking this game is going to return a lot of themes and characters from the P2 duology (and maybe, with a tiny chance, the P1 MC will finally return but for real and on-screen) but I don't want be seen like a delusional guy.
My craziest expectations involves the involvement of our favorite villain who embodies the humanity worst hour
and Futaba being the daughter from certain pair from Persona 2 Eternal Punishment.
But I don't want be the delusional guy, oh

Sakura Futaba looks really cool in this.
