What about Ulysses/Odysseus as someone's main Persona? Not a thief character per se, but certainly stole some things and is enough of a quick talking smooth walking cool guy to fit on a heist.

Prometheus would be great. I'm not sure how willing they are to repeat party member Personas, though, and Prometheus was Baofu's ultimate Persona in Eternal Punishment.

Jun had Hermes as his starter Persona in P2 and then Junpei had the same as his starter in P3. They're totally fine with repeating.

Baofu starts with Odysseus and has Prometheus as his ultimate. He's a shady dude who taps people's phone lines and blackmails them, all in hsi pursuit of vengeance against the Taiwanese mafia. Baofu's cool.

I'm not sure what they mean in that article when they say the sound the characters make when they summon their Personas will be a "buchi!" instead of a "ka!" and why that's important enough it needs to go in the reveal article. Maybe I'm missing how that's a big tonal shift or something?

Ah, that's right, I forgot. Then if they're going for a legendary/mythical thief motif, Prometheus had better show up.

"Ka" is like, bursting with energy or the clicking of a gun. "Buchi" is like something being torn apart.

To translate that into English,

"The sound will be less of a 'crackle' and more of a 'rrriiip.'"

More violent and less desirable, basically. Think about how Adachi and Strega summoned their personas.

Oh, Persona 5 properly announced at last. Wonderful. Trailer was pretty great. Glad the cat seems to be a playable character but I hope there's a dog too. I always like the more fantastical characters. Koromaru was the best. Oh forget it, just bring Koromaru back. Plus I wanna see how a dog shoots a gun.

If there was a dog character, they wouldn't have a gun at all. After all, Morgana got shafted and stuck with a slingshot and she can transform to use a proper gun.

It's also complete bullshit for that and all; Europe doesn't even have a confirmed release, never mind anything necessitating a placeholder date.

Maybe she chose to use a skillful, silent slingshot over a brutish gun, way to participate in cat erasure, speciesist.

I suspect the main characters will all have criminal-themed Personas, so there's not a likelihood of a lot of detectives showing up. We could get the Scarlet Pimpernel, Fantomas, Moriarty...what other famous fictional thieves are there? Probably something Japanese or Chinese. Prometheus was mentioned and would fit quite well.

Fantômas could be an interesting ultimate Persona for the main character, though that would suggest a different sort of development than Persona main characters usually get. He starts with Arsène, the gentleman thief who draws the line at committing murder. Fantômas, meanwhile, has no qualms about killing, and actually seems to enjoy it. Making the main character's ultimate Persona Fantômas would suggest the gloves coming off, things getting serious--he's willing to go a lot farther for his goals.

Another way to go about it would be to give Fantômas as a Persona to the main character's foil.

Oh so that's what acid jazz is. Like over a decade ago when I applied to be a DJ on the local college radio station I said I would play "acid jazz" on my show because I heard the word somewhere and thought it sounded cool without knowing what it was.
