It can gently caress you over sometimes, but I thought SMTIV's negotiations were pretty consistent. If you give them two things and then end talks, they almost always agree to join you.

Depends on the demon but I got a lot of "That's it?? Time to die!!" messages from demons when I did this.

Also I thought it was bullshit how some of the demons would offer to settle things "here and now" with you but then after you paid them Macca the negotiation would keep on going.

I remember back when I played Nocturne on an emulator and i used savestates during negotiations and sometimes i'd hit points where a demon would refuse to join me no matter which options i picked, even though i was a high enough level for it to join me. So it was pretty bullshit then as well.

Okay the protagonist is a high schooler who lives in Japan we know literally nothing more than we did before. That's a cool logo though.

Looked like it might take place in a big city. No boonies covered in fog or a weird island.

I found that this happened pretty consistently with specific demons and that the ones that do this tend to also respond well to continued gift-giving.

The P5 logo would look good on a racing game, maybe their next spin-off can be a kart racer.

Welp, I guess I now have enough of a reason to get a PS4. Kinda surprised that it's not PS3 exclusive to be honest.

Also, that teaser reminded me a somewhat of TWEWY. So I quite liked it. :)

It was PS3-exclusive, but I guess they changed their minds and decided to try and keep up with the new console gen by porting it to PS4.

Is it me or does the new protag look like a cross between the kid from Devil Survivor 2 and the kid from Trinity Souls?

The protagonist looks okay if a little bland which is fine considering I felt the same about Yu and Minato's designs. What I really want to see is the new crazy Persona and shadow designs and what mythology the cast will take them from.

All the cast should be redesigns of the fiends. Break the chains of god.

A certain someone was considered a Fiend in Nocturne. They should give him to the protag.

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

Make Daisoujou the protagonist. As in, have the MC sit the entire game in an almost sealed pit, going on wild adventures in his decaying brain and ringing the bell once a day. The endgame starts when they seal him in. And then he dies, and the world moves on.
Wait, that's the plot of P3.

That pretty much confirms the game on Vita through PS4 remote play. Hopefully we get a price drop on the PS4 before launch.

I'm so loving glad P5 is coming out for the PS4. One, I don't need to keep my PS3 plugged in for another year just for one game, two being on PS4 means that you can use the really good PS4/Vita remote play to play the whole thing on your Vita.

Now they just need to make a good game :v:

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

They'll still make a Persona 5 Platinum or whatever in a couple years after it comes out, but yeah at least with the PS4 you can remote play it for the time being.

Pretty sure that's because it would appear to take place in Shibuya as well. Or at least that scene did.

Yeah. I thought it looked surprisingly like actual Shibuya. None of the Persona games have taken place in real locations before, have they?

Now that I think about it, no, actually! There was one or two times and that was when you went to Kyoto and Yakushima (I think) in Persona 3 but that lasted maybe a week of ingame time total.

Nope all of them were in fictional places. They could easily have this new place be fictional too and just modeled after Shibuya.
