Persona the Fifthhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Also, I have no idea if we're going back to real rear end dungeons or they're making the random dungeons cool as gently caress.

I wonder if the gimmick here is going to be breaking into other people's minds to free them from their inner demons. The Shadows/demons/whatever they're going with are thus parts of the target's subconscious fighting off the mental intruders.

Also, it's interesting to see separate weapon slots for what I assume are melee weapons and guns. They haven't done that since Persona 1, if I recall correctly. I'm guessing the "Protector" slot is for defense-boosting armor, while the "Clothes" slot is for alternate costumes.

I'm guessing we're going to end up getting alternate costumes based on the Persona 3/4 characters, either as hidden content or DLC.

Looks like the area under the mask is like a shadow. So I guess the masks cause them to get shadows/persona?

So any idea why Morgana is some kind of cartoon cat anyway? There's some shots of it lookin normal but other times looks like another Teddy situation of being a mascot.

Ahhh, thanks! I'm glad I was right on Sakamoto's name at least. The kanji for Takamaki Anzu just didn't click to me.

I am most surprised that they seem to be giving the MC some personality and style. Harry Potter-Tuxedo Mask rules and certainly looks like a Gangstar to me.

Well, in retrospect it makes sense how in the trailer last year, the protagonist was presented as the most boring mild mannered guy on earth, even compared to the protagonists from P1-P4..... so they could contrast it by later revealing his flamboyant secret identity

Personas are the masks we put on in everyday life. Teddie gets a Persona and becomes human, cat gets a mask = persona = human. Ish.

This is the closest I saw.

Anyway, "Commu" (SLink) isn't on the menu, but "Cooperation" is.

Let us all hold hands and pray that this game does not involve mandatory stealth sections.

Man, I should not be getting so hyped for Persona 5 right now.

Mostly because there is no chance of Europe getting it at a reasonable time. I suppose that won't matter too much if they don't do the Arena thing and regionlock it though.

...It doesn't help though that Persona: Phantom Thief Edition is basically everything I love rolled into one.

Now that the site is actually working, it looks like they have a new blog post up: http://p-ch.jp/news/detail/?nid=244

It's a message from Hashino and the dev team to fans. He talks about how Persona 5's main influences are School Juvenile fiction and Picaresque novels. Unlike previous Persona games where the players were clearly a team on the side of "good" going after a bad guy, this time they're trying for something a little different. The story is about high school students chasing after their own interpretation of "justice" after an unexpected incident. He hopes fans will enjoy the enhanced graphics and sound in the new entry as well as party members who might be a little more ill-mannered than before.

My glossing of it he sorta jokes about people making Lupin the 3rd compairsons, and that he was influenced by "Academy Juvenile" and some other reference I didn't quite get. He hopes people will enjoy the style they invested in it, etc.

Yeah, the PS3/PS4 is region free and I don't think Atlus is that much of a horrible company. Or maybe I am just jaded and like Atlus games too much to realize how horrible they are.

Literally the only region locked game on PS3 ever was P4 Arena. I don't think Ultimax was, and that was in the Index days (I think?), but still.

I think that was ASW's call to prevent people from reverse importing P4A since it had English and Japanese tracks. Still a lovely move though.
