since the kids are tied to the father this time, you can potentially marry not-severa to the guy who gets not-cordelia as a kid, thus giving her daughter issues in addition to mom issues.

if you do it you should feel bad.

Technically there is no time loop because this Cordelia is a reincarnation, and there is no incest involved with making her her own grandma

Yeah, I'm thinking is that has more to do with the people they fight. Because all the party's Personas are all based off of noble or morally gray thieves so I don't think they're making the party out to be the sins.

So with the new bit of Persona 5 story information it's not hard to extrapolate the structure of the game

With the latin names of the seven deadly sins in the opening and the theme of going after "corrupted adults" that might mean seven evil people, seven palaces, at least seven main story bosses, probably themed around the sins, though they'll likely change it up and not be that obvious

gonna have to work hard to make lust even more uncomfortable than shadow rise

I agree that the dungeons will probably have some sort of "Seven Sins" theme going for them. From what I saw in the trailer:

Palace: Gluttony or Lust
Art Gallery: Envy?
Casino/Vault area: Greed
Ruins/Pyramid area: Sloth?
Futuristic observatory area: Wrath?

Lust is also a possibility(if it's the one with the crown and wineglass you're talking about), given the background of the fight. There also seems to be a female figure floating in the glass, if you look carefully.

The music isn't the same, but I do feel that they have a really similar "atmosphere" that isn't found in the other Persona games.

One of the reasons I hated the PSP version is because it gutted the whole soundtrack and replaced it with modernized vocal poo poo. Terrible thing to do to a game which doesn't have much going for it except for the atmosphere.

While I liked the new soudntrack when first playing the remake, in retrospect it's really not as good as the original. Still, Lone Prayer!

Oh, an old interview on Persona 1 was recently translated, 19 years after the fact: http://atlusatlas.tumblr.com/post/111724547998/here-we-are-at-last-about-two-months-in-the

Twin Peaks was hugely popular in Japan (possibly even more so than in the West) so it's not really that surprising that Persona took some inspiration from it.

I keep watching the P5 trailer and it's really awesome how the in-game engine is so good looking and it makes me want another Catherine game too or a vita port of Catherine. I also wish they'd get rid of the anime scenes and just use the in-game engine, but the characters models look so good.

yeah idk why they're even bothering with the anime cutscenes now that the game looks good. P4 needed them since it looked like poo poo but I thought it was stupid when they kept doing it in Catherine.
