Well. It is, because she's a fictional character and the plot was written that way.

people complain about Naoto but it isn't really her fault that she's the only party member besides teddie that actually moves the main plot along after joining

It fits P4, though, because you're just a bunch of high school friends goofing around and trying to do good with your limited understanding of thing, whereas Naoto already has one foot in the adult world and actually has a rough idea what's going on with the murdering.

(naw it's fine, it was always a crazy theory and there were plenty of reasons for them to not do it, there were just some elements that felt like they lined up a little too well

hell playing through P4G for real due to this hype I noticed one or two more things that made me go "wait what the gently caress")

Anyway Makoto seems cool and like The Best One, and I can't wait to see what role she has in the plot as I get the impression it will be substantial. Even if she isn't Literally Nanako, I stand by my theory that she's going to be a plot driver in the vein of Maya/Mitsuru/Naoto, as that's flat out a motif of the games at this point.

I still feel like there's going to be some kind of link to the other games, though, and at this point I'd bet it'll be during the police scene. I wouldn't be surprised to see Actual Mitsuru come in during Joker's interrogation or something similar. They set up way too many "Persona user with law enforcement links" in P4/P4A to not play that card against a literal pack of thieves.

They have to rename Haru's Persona in the localization or else it's gonna be the most insufferable thing to talk about with all the jokes. Just call it Dewinter or something.

also i just now noticed this but it looks like the soundtracks that in the JP CE of the game are either best of's or remasters of only some songs from past games since there's 5 discs instead of 6 (unless the two persona 2 games shared a lot of music)

Weird that Yusuke's codename was shown as Inari but it's written there as Fox. I mean, the translation makes sense but I wonder why they didn't just have it in English like the rest.

Also, that's Makoto in between Haru and Yusuke, right? Not the 8th party member? Because if so it seems like her moniker isn't Queen and is Crow maybe? Crown? Something that starts with Cr. Queen looks pretty scary though.

They're all still really rad though.

Yeah, it's kinda disappointing. But he seems to have traded that obviously evil smirk for a less evil but probably more smug one. Which I can appreciate.

Interesting that Futaba has one. Guess she'll be more than just a navigator.

I think Makoto is the bottom right. She definitely looks like the most pissed off one.

Yeah, I could buy her as being either. But from the literally one image we have seen of mysterious cute boy I don't think he looks like the bottom middle. Could easily be wrong though.

It confuses me because he's carrying a bunch of cutlery and a wine glass, right? Shouldn't that be for Gluttony?

Her thing is being a shut-in, so I would imagine her arc is about getting out and about. I could see her getting a persona upgrade to give her a battle form.

She's already been shown out in the field and in Golden Rise basically got a cut-in as well. So i'd be more surprised if Futaba didn't have one.

Fly man is for sure Gluttony as that has always been Beelzebub's territory. Gluttony does not even need to be related to food, just taking more then you should.


However Kamoshida is actually stated to be the school's gym teacher and the first level is called Kamoshida's palace. (There is also belief that he is stalking Anne.)

Holy poo poo. I hope the gang just calls all the enemies by insults. :allears: (even though a bunch of the other ones just had regular names)

Also, the translated UI reveals more than I thought it would. It look likes the dungeons might have multiple parts to them rather than just get to the end and defeat the boss. Like "secure the hint" or "escape the area". And that seems really cool and interesting. More than anything, the dungeons might be what's surprised me most about the trailers. They look so good.

Oh, and I know it was kinda obvious since we learnt they got sweet spy names but I love how often the gang seems to be calling each other by their monikers when on the job. It also looks like people other than the navigator will be making comments and stuff during the dungeons, which is good and cool.
