I want then to outsource a Kanji brawler to Platinum. Basically God Hand with Kanji. I don't even care if he uses a Persona at any point.

I don't think Troy Baker could handle a game where he voices every character.

Just saw the P5 trailer, and having watched Guy Ritchie's Revolver a couple days ago, all I can think of is that the theme is characters breaking free from the control of their own egos, and in doing so escaping the rules of the world. Maybe the "chain" concept is taking control of the persona, instead of being controlled by it.

It can't be any more awkward than giving Narukami Adachi's VA. Adachi was all I could hear anytime Yu spoke in P4A.

EDIT: ^^^^ It's worth it. You have time to make up other S-Links later. What, you don't like cabbage?

Just make sure to max out Marie's link because you miss out on an entire new dungeon if you don't. I think you have until the next year to do it if I'm not mistaken.

Basically the best way to do Jester is to get him out of the way super early. Finish dungeons quickly (he's a cop, he's not going to be available when someone's missing) and check his day and night haunts every day because he's sort of erratic. If you finish the May dungeon the first day it's available, you can knock Jester out of the way by like the first week of June.

Another thing to note (because it has tripped some people up) is that while Ranks 7-10 are story-based, you can screw up the last few if you don't go out and meet with him when prompted at one point. It should be a fairly obvious decision point, but it's screwed people over just the same.

In my head Persona Q is some sort of reference to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Q Who knows, though. The title screen is animated in the show:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZofSwdKQiU

My guess based on the Persona 5 teaser thing is that the chairs represent a person and the chains represent the restrictions put into place by another person. When it's one chair, there was no chain. Once a second chair showed up, the chains started. Also hey, chair and chain are very similar words, I wonder if that will be a thing.

If you get to use Personas to fight rubber Kaiju monsters, I will be A-OK with that.

What if what if what if you go through highschool and then graduate and start freshman year in college. :downs:

Seriously though Isn't highschool considered by many in japan to be like the peak of their life in a way? Or is it just portrayed like that by media.

It's the last time in their miserable lives that they get to hang out with their friends before buying their way into college and getting a job by their college's name before working a deadend job until they're 50 and retiring with too many bottles of sake.

True Story is the only song in that song list that even has a localization.

The real question is if it is set after the P4G ending. All the characters revealed so far have been in new costumes, but aside from Yu the other two kinda need to do costume changes for their job.

They definitely are. Some of the lyrics however are by a (presumably) native English speaker, Benjamin Franklin. :v:

Now I'm even more excited for P5 than I was, since I know the main criteria for design are "life-sized characters" and "a message of yelling defiantly". Thanks, Dengeki. Confirmed: Evokers/Arcana cards to be replaced with bullhorns.

I'm actually curious as to what they mean by "life-sized". Is the cast going to be depicted in the same way that they were in Catherine? Because I thought those guys looked life-sized and I really liked that aesthetic.

I just assumed it meant narratively, as in they will be fully-realized people with personalities, hopes and dreams, strengths and failures. Or all we will see on our screens is one person's head and upper torso and have to battle that way.

It's silly, but my biggest hope for P5 is that you can choose a female protagonist, even if it doesn't change anything besides a few pronouns or whatever. I really liked that aspect of P3P, it's nice to feel represented.
