Hej min vän, hur står det till?

Apparently Persona school logos are based on car markers logos

I was always wondering about that. The P3 and P4 school logos were very car-logo, but the first two I had absolutely no idea.

Also I like the P5 protagonist design so far, he looks average enough to be a good main character player-cypher but the glasses add a bit of specificity to him.

The Persona 5 party will consist of Rise and her previously-unmentioned quintuplet sisters that are all idols with her

Well, the Kirijo group is an analogue to Mitsubishi if you go into the lore, so it's not too surprising they had a car company logo for Gekkokan

It's also coming to PS4 and the Japanese release is getting delayed till next year probably because of that.

It also either takes place in Shibuya or a fictional part of Tokyo that is Not-Shibuya.

Winter 2014 pretty much meant Q1 2015 so we don't know if it's delayed for real or not.

It was supposed to come out in November so it would be pretty odd to not give it a set release date when its two months away.

Honestly, I thought the same thing. They totally aren't the P2 cast of course, but those portraits are drawn in a totally P2 fashion.

They're brief flashes in a low-res gif. They're like 20x20 images total. I'm not seeing how you can make any detail out of that, P2 or otherwise.

I think you're all just seeing things. It's the same character designer, right? Of course there's gonna be some similarities.

Nah, the P2 characters were designed by Kazuma Kaneko. P3 and onward, it's been Shigenori Soejima.

Kaneko designed the P2 characters, but yeah they're so low res and blocked out that there's no drat point to trying to ascertain information about them. People are being silly and trying to pull blood from a stone.

It was always confirmed for Winter 2014, which of course could've meant January and February of next year as well. Though some people actually debated it would be coming out in January or February of 2014 when it was announced in November.

Yeah, I'm not too sure why people are trying to think we're making more than simple observations. :shrug:

No one is actually suggesting a connection to P2 past being part of the same franchise.

Yer a Persona user, Harry.

I only play Devil Survivor 2 on the tube and have reached the day 7 fight against Yamato, it's genuinely annoying that it's difficult and I can't do it in 20 minutes. I assumed finally smacking down the anarcho-capitalist prick would be a fun time for the player.

There is an easy way of cheesing the fight. Solo it with an Arioch of your own + Desperation and priority counterattack everything on the map. If you're lucky, you can drop Yamato even before he gets a chance to attack.

Is that demon the fat winged demon with a very Freudian torso? If so I have one of those already, and pretty sure I have Desperation too so I'll try using that to just nuke the fucker. Cheers.

Someone in the SMT reddit asked about SMTIV DLC not being available in Brazil. John Hardin then pulled some strings to release it this week. Blame him.
