It's just a sidestory to the game. If you're already having problems waiting, it won't help. If you're not having problems waiting, it won't suddenly make you have problems waiting. =P
And it's pretty cool in it's own right, even if it's nothing amazing.
I'm handling it well enough for now, I'm just afraid it'll break down the wall I've built. lol
It's cool and shows good potential for how some sidequests in the game are supposedly gonna play out, not to mention it'll give you a little taste of the characters and setting. It's not amazing in its own right but does a good job of promoting the game. I'd say go for it.

It's cute and fun. I definitely wouldn't mind a full anime series of monster of the week plots like that.

I'm just ignoring daybreakers unless atlus usa decides to get the english cast into it

Hmmm wonder how long it'll be till we find out some more of the English cast for Persona 5.
Here's hoping they are getting some actors they haven't used before so that I don't associate them immediately with past characters.

I suppose I could be ascribing more to the character than was intended, but the game exists within our real world, so I can't judge it in a vacuum.
I see where you're coming from though, and I think it would be great if Atlus had a gay character in a future game that wasn't bogged down with a bunch turmoil. I have to admit I have a bit of a problem with the fact that gay people in entertainment are usually either the butt of the joke, or a super tragic persecuted figure. Both of which have the character completely defined by their sexuality. That's part of what I like about Kanji, is that his sexual identity stuff is just a part of his character, not the whole of it.
Johnny Yong Bosch to reprise his role as protagonist confirmed. He is Lelouch after all.

You'll get more Karen Strassman and you'll like it, dammit.
I was actually thinking he'd make a solid Yusuke.

I imagine that'd be up to Aniplex, not Atlus USA.

It's funny because both of them have dubbed for Joker's JP Va before so they would actually be legitimate choices.
please pick someone else there's tons of people in that vocal range
I do want to hear about the English Cast as soon as possible, though. Even if we manage to get dual audio, I'm playing with the dub. But because all the trailers and shit have been Japanese only for 3 years, getting used to the English cast will take a while. I'll need as much time as possible to adjust, lol
I've already put 50 hours into the game. Adjusting to the dub in February will be weird for me.
Already confirmed not to be in the game.
Still pulling for Robbie Daymond or Ray Chase. Those two and Max Mittelman are quickly rising to become the go-to protagonist voices for anime and games that Lowenthal and JYB filled back in 20062010. Plus, Chase can do cocky/smug really well, which is all Joker exudes whenever he speaks.

I wouldn't say RD is go to for protagonist roles yet- of the 7 or so things I have mentally tagged for him, only one is a protagonist role. Everything else is a major or minor character. That said I totally expect him on this game someplace, and wouldn't be suprised if he did end up as Protag.
FFXV is like the second time I've seen Ray Chase come up, and the first time was an anime I didn't watch, so I can't really comment on him.
Totally agree with your point on Mittelman though.

I normally prefer steelbook art to be more subtle (my mirrors edge catalyst steelbook is awesome), but with how they did the colors I think that looks great.

They also seem to tease more Persona 5 news upcoming.

I calculated Atlus USA's usual lead time to release for PR...it's five months. Five months to February starts in October. So pretty soon.
So Futaba is basically exactly how I predicted her to be.
Still haven't seen the beach scene, but there's no way I'm wrong seeing as (spoilers I guess but not really?)
That steelbook is much better. Really glad they used that art.

her face is never covered up. She's had her face uncovered for every scene she's been in up to this point.

I don't like the art being split like that. Even if it will be the same as the Valkyria Chronicles steelcase, which was very nice.
What ever happened to that Japanese preorder steelbook? Did we ever get any more pictures of it?

Oh you don't even. It's probably them getting ready to give us updates on the EU/USA release.
Context for the beach scene with Futaba (no plot spoilers)
Also I think I kind of hate Ryuji. He's a real fucking creep, even if Anne does handle him really well (she does).
Also Yusuke is the best and everyone will love him.
so I guess it's a recurring gag that Futaba puts on that dumb mask when someone first walls in, and then takes it off straight after. The towel is the beach equivalent of this.

Futaba: Weird
Ryuji:
Yusuke: Not surprised in the least bit.
I'm assuming Anne and Makoto are pretty great as well?
DRAW. WE TIED.
You lose, bro. It's totally a gag.
Futaba: Weird
Ryuji:
Yusuke: Not surprised in the least bit.

From what I can gather, Anne and Makoto seem really good. Makoto basically seems like a more female version of Naoto. Her crit is even super close to Naoto's autocombo.
Ryuji seems like the worst parts of Kanji, Yosuke and Teddie smushed into one idiot. I sure hope you like dumb, pervy characters who yell all the time and are animated like a monkey!
This pleases me greatly.
Just watched Day Breakers, and as expected, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna love these characters. And it wasn't my first time hearing it, but I love the opening theme song for this game so much. Easily on par with P3's and P4's for me, maybe my favorite of the bunch. I need dat new Persona music, but I'm gonna try to hold off on listening so it'll be fresh in February.
That's... a bit worrisome. lol
Yeah. I've seen plenty of people say they like him. I expect he'll be a mixed-bag like the other 'best friend' characters, though I won't be surprised if he's generally treated on the level of Yosuke.
I'm surprised, so far Ryuuji has been a total bro. I only just cleared the first dungeon though so we haven't really had a chance to hang out proper.
I think a lot of it is going to come down to the VA/translation. But they seem to have been going for a Yankee/Delinquent archetype (Morgana even suggests it as his codename), which is why he's animated like that.

You're all crazy. Ryuuiji is awesome. If you're going to hate a teenager because he likes tits and is prone to occasional outbursts of anger, you basically hate most teenage guys
He's a cool character -even his less than glowing moments don't nearly approach Yosuke's borderline bullying of Kanji. And, he has a good backstory too.
Also, Yusuke is indeed awesome.

Damn. Each passing day is getting harder and harder to resist. I wonder which two? Also does that part about making decisions mean what I think it means? Long term consequences for choices? Huh.
Well I'll be busy with SMT4:A so that'll probably hold me.
That's some high expectations for non-waifu bait!I can vouch that your brother continues to have good taste, PK.

No, the game's not that ambitious haha.
Like with P3's simple binary Yes/No endings and P4's "reach out to the truth", P5 needs you to make important decisions towards the end with serious ramifications.
Not to question your brother's taste, but this here sounds like some "in the moment" hyperbole.
At least nothing negative really left a mark. The game doesn't sound like it has any massive, glaring issues.
Persona (outside of EP) has never really had a particularly great main narrative so the first one isn't too difficult to believe.
As for the rest... Perhaps. He's not really the type to let hype affect his emotions though.
