I would really appreciate this. Also someone who's just more different; Junpei and Yosuke had a lot of similarities.
That would be Tomokazu Seki. Tomokazu Suigita (I can see how you would get that confused) is the guy famous for doing Gintoki in Gintama. His voice is super distinctive and you've probably heard him in some other stuff, so you'd likely recognize him. I really liked what he did in Corpse Party. He played a super unhinged sociopathic guy really well.
Just saw that the VA for Char Aznable is also in P5. Just insanity. It's definitely the best VA cast I've seen in a game. This needs Dual Audio. It's just too good.

The answer is 20ish hours!?!? That means I still have like... 70 ish hours.

But then who will be the pervy classmate? Anne?
Speaking of Sakamoto, his bio was finally revealed. Could someone translate?

You're actually only about halfway done.
Both P3 and P4 cover a year's amount of time.
I don't read Japanese, but I'm pretty sure it says he is Gundam.

Ah cool. Is there a time jump at the end like p4? I thought that sucked.
The best friend with inner turmoil who deflects with humor is a difficult trope to let go of. I mean, it's a good one. It's engaging on a moment to moment basis and in the right hands the character does grow. Thru don't need to abandon that archetype altogether, they just need to set Ryuji apart from the others when it comes to the nitty gritty details.
It's also just a very relatable trope that's more than commonly found in every day life (as in, a lot of guys are like Junpei and Yosuke.)

Sort of. P3 goes on for a month longer than P4 does, unless you played Golden.
If the trailer is anything to go by, he seems really angry. That immediately sets him apart from Yosuke and Junpei. I'm kind of expecting more of a Kanji like character, but with development set off by some personal tragedy rather than inner turmoil.
Than there we go!
Ah wait dude, our bet's not over ye-
eh nevermind
EDIT: I'm sure Ryuji will stand out on his own
Rough translation (I should preface every one of these with a disclaimer that neither English nor Japanese is my first language):
Just like the youth assumed to be the leader, he is a 16-year old boy in the second year at Shûjin gakuen high school. He has a rude way of speaking and seems to be regarded as a "problem child" at school. He causes his teachers and instructors more trouble than usual, and his behavior is problematic.
According to our investigation, he did not exhibit this sort of behavior previously, and further investigation into the cause of his delinquent behavior is desirable.

Pretty much fuels my theory.
Something bad happens to him related to the shadows and the creation of the phantom thieves. He becomes a delinquent to cope. His S.Link will be him coming to terms with that tragedy and learning to turn the anger into something productive.
What about that implies Yosuke?
Yosuke sort of has that
delinquency brought on by tragedy
I wouldn't really call it delinquency... moving to Inaba from the city definitely caused him to resent the people around him, but he internalized it. He never really went out of his way to start trouble, especially at school.

people were talking about how he's probably the magician equal here, and I just picked at random between yosuke and Junpei but yeah, there's defintely more kanji there
It's definitely not truly delinquency. More of a personality switch to slightly more antisocial behavior. There are some parallels, but Sakamoto's character definitely has more in common with other characters than the 3/4 magicians. Are we sure he's the magician equivalent? Given the sort of bulky nature of his persona, I would not be surprised if they broke tradition and made him the Emperor or something.

Sounds like a great change from Yosuke and Junpei.
Ryûji's sound bites from the character profile might also offer some clues. In the first one, he says
Why do I have to go to school and receive instructions/guidance?
Nobody really pays attention to what I say

I liked Junpei.
Mobile Suit Gooch
Grundle: The Awakening
Me too.
I as well.
Junpei is a real man. Starts off as that dumb male friend, then he turns into a jealous jerk. But he matures a lot throughout the game, and his character culminates during the Answer. Just a real good guy by the end.
I can see how someone can hate Yosuke. He matures, but not to the same extent. Yosuke is still one of my favorites though.

Hashino teased a surprise for the Persona Stage Event tomorrow.

Brosuke was great!
And here is my attempt at a translation for Anne's profile:
A 16-year old, three quarters Japanese girl with American roots that attends Shûjin gakuen. At school, she appears to be unable to blend in and lonely due to her striking looks. She is being observed acting together with the youth assumed to be the leader and Sakamoto Ryûji. At school, strange rumors are spreading about her, but whether these are true or not is still being investigated.
Thanks for these.
Sounding a lot like
Ginko 2.0 here, tbh.
But the three rules are:
Unless I'm missing something, basic character profiles aren't covered.
Personally, I believe we'll have at least another strong announcement at the end of the stream, seems weird to drop your biggest announcement at the start.
Yeah, spoiler tagging the character's profiles seems a bit excessive to me, it's the typical stuff you could find written in the back of the box, it's supposed to give you an idea of what the game is about.
Oh. Guess it's fine then unless someone says anything. Especially since it's just character background info anyway.
It's a little disappointing that she's basically Lisa considering that everyone's first reaction was to compare the two. I'm just hoping that she doesn't have Lisa's initial shitty attitude, although that doesn't look to be the case.
Don't know whether that should be spoiler texted or not, but I'm playing it safe.
OK, so here's the corrected version without spoiler tags:
For some reason I'm having a hard time catching what she says in the sound samples. Anyone willing to help me out?
1.　変な人だね。皆、あたしなんて ??? なのに。
(It's not 叱った, right?)
2.　あたし、あんたなんかが好きにできるほどお安い女じゃないから。

Heads up: atlustube's removing videos from this stream and of Persona 5 out there. There was a YouTube profile that was archiving some of the stream stuff like the news reports that had some of their videos removed and the channel subsequently taken down, and that first English subbed trailer has been taken down as well.

What the heck, she's not Finnish?
It's actually just that Soejima doesn't draw ladies with large chests when he does his own thing.
Check out the Soejima art of her catsuit design from the Hashino interview, for example.

Is there only one female character in the group or will me see more characters revealed ?
The brown haired rumoured member is also male.

Er... how do you know that? I am 100% certain there will be more female cast members. P-Studio usually have a good balance when it comes to main character genders.
