Thanks!
Ryuji Sakamoto's profile will presumably go up along with a news report that he's been "identified" via the QR code campaign.
Oh, if that's all I'll pass on the stream 'till the special stage. Thanks.
As pointed out by CrimsonFist:
The campaign is apparently happening in the United States and Europe? I haven't seen anyone verify that this isn't some kind of weird mistake.
i have two theories, they either show countries in which the heist team will be active over the course of the game (we saw egypt after all).
Or they are placed all over the world and people just have to scan the QR Code to make them appear on the map.
If it the second option we should see new place plop up or incrase in the numbers soon.
The campaign involves Persona 5 posters spread across physical regions where people must scan their QR codes to unlock the thief's "identity" and get them updated on the website. The thing is, until now, we thought this was only reserved to Japan and Atlus USA's HQ. These are supposed to be locations where the posters are, but it's weird because some of them are in the middle of nowhere and don't make sense. Some are thinking it's a weird bug or something.
Like, passed through Google Translate, these are supposed to be the locations:
well maybe atlus booked some other places where ads where affordable to cover as much as possible. Also like i said there could be another twist to it, being that people have to actually find a poster for it to be appear on the map. After all it says report now.
But some are apparently located at places like this:
And other places in the middle of nowhere.
But hey, maybe. Still waiting on someone to actually say they found one or not.
Sure it seems strange. But those could be gps errors. Or they really put some on trees and such things. It seems too precise to be an bug. I mean why don't we see some on the ocean if it is a bug. After all the chances of a bug hitting a ocean is rather high since most of earth is ocean
Yep, someone tried to find one in the Persona Community thread and they couldn't. As I thought, there's just some weirdness going on that somehow had poster locations placed outside of Japan in random locations.
Oh, that's totally it! Damn, I should have thought of that earlier. That explains it all.
Ryuji Sakamoto's character profile has just been revealed with a new news report.

Are there any translations for his profile yet?

Yesss. time for new GAF avatar
She's Anne, not Anzu.
Soejima's concept art called her "A-n", so she's most likely Anne.
kiyoaki translated her character profile:
She currently sounds a lot like Lisa Silverman from Persona 2. All she needs is the daddy issues, and done.
She is actually Lisa Silverman.

I'm still tired.
Lisa's in Persona 5!? XP
I guess in a way, a lot of her character traits/problems seem to be.

Watch her turn out to be Lisa's daughter, or something crazy like that.

NewGinko, NewJun, maybe Ryuuji is a bit like Eikichi too, the main color being red, demons/personas being back in. This is the secret Persona 2 remake I always wanted. Thanks Atlus <3.
Masks were also a bigger deal in Persona 2 than Persona 3 and Persona 4 (The Masked Circle and
the masks the main crew wore as kids
There really are a weird number of similarities.

Anne's design is fab, and Ryuji (and the protagonist) somehow manage to make tartan pants work. I can't wait to see the rest of the cast.
So.
All the P5 protagonists seem to be based on literary characters and such.
We already know that the protag's Persona is based on Lupin.
Ryuji Sakamoto's Persona seems to be based on either Long John Silver (Robert Louis Stevenson) or possibly Cervantes' Don Quixote
Morgana, to me, seems to be Zorro. I say that purely because of the 'Z' it slashes in the trailer, and it's slightly bandit-y appearance.
Seems to me it could be the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland (we know from Persona Q that Atlus isn't scared of riffing on THAT mythology too much). She's the only one I'm uncertain about - what are your thoughts, GAF?

So who's Anne Takamaki's Persona?

Quote large pictures, please.
Also, cross-posting from the community thread:
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.

Shigenori Soejima knows his way around fashion for sure.

Rumors manifesting? I had no idea, was it talked about during the stream? Maybe it ties in to the new Co operation system somehow. I hope they speak about it before the stream ends.
It may be Bonnie from Bonnie and Clyde as posted by someone in the TGS trailer thread. She'll have to be some picaresque thief if not Bonnie.
That one specifically I'm not sure about, because I just heard it off-hand and I'm not analyzing much from the new footage myself. Still, though, these are kind of nice, coincidental callbacks to older games in the series. All we need is an adult party member.
Srey Plaughtered

Yep the callbacks are very cool, and very well done in fact. P5 seems to be it's own thing with some inspirations taken from the previous games, a good middle ground between a straight up reboot i.e P2>P3 and something based off of previous systems i.e. P3>P4 .
A very positive thinking one at that.
Haha, at least something good came out of my despair.

Just like Soejima said in an interview a long while back, yes, there are more characters (via Morgana).

Ahh they've been streaming Soejima drawing for like an hour! Should really check in here more often. Can't wait for the inevitable artbook for this game.
