I'm with you there. That all we get from the definitive P3 game is Theo is a bit lame. I mean Marie made it in and who cares about her? Comb enthusiasts?

There could very well be unlockable characters in PQ, so FeMC still has a shot. Hopefully we'll even see the cast from P1 and P2, but we won't.

The most exciting part of persona 5 for me has to be the new soundtrack. Shoji Meguro can do no wrong in my eyes, and even though I don't constantly replay persona games, I am constantly listening to the p3/p4 soundtracks.

More games need Baofu and Katsuya. I would totally okay with Ken and anyone else being removed to make it happen, too.

Theo can still exist in the male MC universe. I'm pretty sure Elizabeth or Marie mention having a brother at some point. We're talking some multiverse bullshit here, but MC/FEMC did not affect anything in the Velvet Room or Gekkoukan until the day they arrived. Pretty much anyone introduced in the FEMC route can appear, not that Saori or Rio would have interacted with the MC. In the case of Marie, she was inserted into the main story of the definitive version of Persona 4, making her part of the main story and not an alternate universe where Yu was a girl.

Yeah, getting to listen to a Megten soundtrack near the Japanese release always makes the wait a bit better.


I remember watching the golden trailer a bunch just to hear the new battle theme.

I dunno, i kinda feel like the Catherine soundtrack was an example of Bad Meguro Music, so he's not TOTALLY flawless. The main menu theme was great, but everything else was either sort of bland, or just generic orchestral stuff.

I just hope he can branch away from J-Pop a bit and move back towards something more like Nocturne or DDS, but he seems pretty hellbent on making Persona a J-Pop thing.

There's actually five random battle themes, but the two most prevalent ones also have slight variations (the dungeon battle music has eight variations and the world map battle music has six.)

A rhythm game and some cash-in P3/4 crossover with chibi art? I don't want any of this pandering crap.

I think Atlus may be going the way of Blizzard and Bioware now. After being thoroughly disappointed with SMTIV, if Persona 5 is a bust, I think my favorite RPG franchise is already dead and gone.

"Generic" sure is exactly the term I would use to describe a selection of famous works by Chopin, Holst, Beethoven, Bach, and Dvorak.

Not gonna lie, persona is the only time I've ever been able to stand J-Pop let alone like it. And since I still haven't played any other SMT games persona going non J-Pop would be so weird.

The soundtrack in Catherine was phenomenal, speaking as someone who casually enjoys classical music. Stop hating on Polovtsian Dances and the freaking New World Symphony. There wasn't even any Mozart!

e: Actually the whole OST is from Romantic era or later composers, other than Bach and Handel. So yeah, "generic" for sure.

I'm not worried about them coming over to the West, I'm worried about them coming over to Europe. The PS3 may be region-free, but the 3DS is still locked up tighter than a nun at Manumission.

The style of 'J-pop' in P3 and P4 was pretty different. P3 was more rap and techno, with some heavy guitar songs thrown in. P4 is Pop-Rock with a touch of jazz.

I am legitimately surprised that people are seriously complaining about those things. It's not like this was without precedent; Final Fantasy is far less anime, and it got it's chibi musical spinoff. We just have it in two games, not one!

There are going to be four new Persona games across the next 20 months that are each worked on by separate teams, two even with the support of entirely different companies. Settle down a little.

The dancing game is the one pandering to the stupid otaku who buys vocaloid poo poo. The chibi artstyle is the one aimed at girls. :v: i.e. me, I like it a lot.

Just because you can, doesn't mean it's okay to do so. By the time Square started whoring its franchise was around the time its brand was starting to stink.

I dunno, I could be wrong and PQ and 5 turn out fine and my dismay is for naught, but this is a huge cause of concern for me at the moment.

I'm honestly legitimately excited for all of these games. The only reason I might not get the dancing one is if I don't have a Vita when it's released.

I suppose I can see that. Then again, I actually like the recent Final Fantasies. I may just be easily pleased.
