Incidentally, I think that the Valentine's Day OVA for the Persona 5 anime came out this week and is entirely from a first person perspective

Yup. It's even fansubbed already on YouTube, for however long that'll last.

Man, the adults all have a powerful jailbait thirst.

I know there have been creepy romance/interactions with an adult (and I have pretty much written entire essays on how that is handled vs GLBT themes in the games because I'm that kind of nerd) social links in P3-5, but 5 really seemed to go all in on that one.

Ryuji’s Royal introduction trailer. He gets a combo attack with Yusuke and, more importantly, third tier personas are back. They seem to be fusions of both first and second tiers
It’s gonna be really hard for any other pair to top that combo attack. Yusuke really put his all into cooking that beef bowl, huh. :allears:

I know Captain Kidd's first name is William, but it cracks me up that that's the name of Ryuji's new ultimate Persona. I can't stop myself from shortening it to Billy in my head because that's the kind of name you'd give to a guy like Ryuji.

Who do you think is going to have the sickest-looking Ultimate Persona?

So P5A had a Valentine's Day OVA released a couple days ago. It's plot is skit style with Ren going on Valentine's dates with all the women, and the last skit is the Harem Ending. The stinger is what makes it though: It's a date with Sae.

Preview of things to come in P5R?

I thought Morgana had a combo with Haru. Are characters going to have multiple combo attacks?

I think the original combo attack was with Makoto and Ryuji so it looks like that is the case.

It's a really minor thing but I like the fact that it looks like everybody including minor characters have a ton more outfits depending on the situation, instead of just always wandering around in the same two "school uniform/not school uniform" outfits. Just one of the little details that makes the slice of life sections of the game feel more realized.

I'd imagine (or hope at least) that every character would have at least one combo with every other character, so that you're not forced into subpar party setups just to use a combo move.

Golden only had one per character with Yosuke/Teddie, Chie/Yukiko and Kanji/Naoto so I sort of assumed it would be the same here.

I haven’t gotten to that point in P4G yet, but in #FE they would randomly trigger during attacks. Like a super crit, functionally.

I imagine that it won’t be quite as absurd as every possible combo of thieves getting together, but it would be great. Especially since it seems that the attacks unlock after the characters have an interaction in-story where one suggests it to the other, if Ryuji and Yusuke were any indication.

I’m always up for seeing one on one interactions in a cast that rarely operates outside of a big group. The possibility of Haru getting some interactions alone has me happy.

Her name in the Japanese version has an e, they removed it in the localization for some reason.

Isn't she supposed to be Finnish or did I imagine that? I was thinking about it while playing the other day because Takamaki could easily be Takamäki, a not-impossible Finnish last name. And Anne would be more appropriate than Ann in that case too.
