Mix. posted:the headphones were an actual real audiotechnica model you could buy back when the original game first released, but from personal experience (still own the pair somewhere in a box somewhere) they're a LOT smaller than they looked lmao Yup I always wanted a pair but was a poor college student at the time. I really hope it gets re-released because I would actually use it.

Unclouded posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNGZiyvFkL8 Thanks! Actually not a huge fan of this remix, though can't put my finger on why. Edit: Kinda applies to most of the new versions actually. I hope it gives you an option to use the originals as well. New versions aren't bad or anything, but just feel kinda off. Part of it is that I don't like the vocalist quite as much.

Picked up Persona 5 Royal on the switch based on word of mouth and people's end of year reviews, first time playing a game in the series and I got to say the animation, music and style is pretty awesome but man why is everyone making GBS threads on this kid lol. A child makes a mistake and allegedly assaults some one so now no one even wants to see or deal with him ever? No wonder he becomes some kind of masked vigilante.

IIRC, what Shujin knows is just that he has a criminal record for assault. They treat him like a piece of poo poo because literally nobody knows the truth of what he did. They just see; "problem child who was expelled from his old school because he assaulted someone" (or maybe worse depending on far the rumors about what else he could have possibly done spread). 2. Japanese society can be very collectivist and values social harmony, so anyone who rocks the boat and is shown to be a non-contributor to society is gonna get poo poo on for it.

Yeah, you see early on that all anyone really knows is "he was accused of assaulting someone and sent to live with not Notuncle in Bel Air" and they've heard everything from "he went wild and attacked someone" to "he carries knives and guns around."

By the way (and if you follow the Megaten thread, this will be old news), I've been doing some amateur analysis of new Metaphor info and it's been said to be okay to discuss here, so I'm going to share some screenshots, info, and a few things I've noted. Firstly, we got some broad lore info, as well as bios of our first five party members. quote:A world separate from our own, inhabited by eight tribes. Some additional context on the "Humans" thing. In Japanese, you can gloss words with extra secondary meanings, one way having a word expressed via kanji to be read via katakana'd English. For "Humans", they use 'ningen', the Japanese word for 'people', but gloss it with 'Homo', as in 'homo sapiens'. 'Homo' is also used in some English-using screenshots, I'll provide one for posterity.  They are also, in a bit of trivia, inspired by the works of Hieronymus Bosch, a fantasy Dutch/Netherlandish painter from the Renaissance era. Anyway, onto our first protags: quote:Hero (CV: Natsuki Hanae) I'm not too versed in JP VAs, but Akio Otsuka is familiar to me: he's Japanese Solid Snake. So Heismay isn't gonna have a cutesy mascot voice. Come the dub I definitely expect something in the DC Douglas/Keith Silverstein/Patrick Seitz/Jamieson Price range. ------------------------------------------ Delineating official info with stuff that, while using official sources, is more speculative and analytical, and may not be true come release. So, eight tribes. Elda's unique, but our party starts with 3 tribe members in the group. In a bit in the second trailer, the one with an English dub, there's a bit where Junah (a girl with a fivehead that puts Haru to shame) saying a line that ends with "but it's thanks to you that I awakened my Archetyp(e)". (it cuts off before the e arrives but that's clearly what it's called.) Archtypes being our not-Persona. So she's also a party member. in a Japanese stream, we also get this image from an anime cutscene:  Junah's the blonde girl in the back, and given her big eyes, she's our Nydian party member. In addition to her, we have a girl with a third eye in the center of her forehead, which would make her our Mutsutari, and the person in the suit to the right back, who has something just above Hulkenberg's ear. that might be the pole of a spear, but it could also be a tail, which would track for Palipas. We also have this girl named Maria, who has wings, marking her as Ichthyian, though we have no hard confirm that she is in the party, she might just be an NPC with a bond, or a shopkeeper. Lastly, this bit from the trailer:  He's got an Archetype and he's in the party, and his age would put him as the Rogue member. Another thing. We've seen some more classes here and there. Here's a list of everything I've seen on everyone: MC: Seeker, Brawler, Soul Hacker Strohl: Warrior, Trickster Hulkenberg: Knight, Healer, Paladin Heismay: Thief, Ninja Old Man: Mage The fact that Hulkenberg has more than one 'class', and that Healer sounds pretty different in terms of what it would do than Knight, seems to indicate that we aren't operating on Persona principles where you have a set thing you do and you only get better at it. But I also don't think that we just have a FF 5/Crystal Project sort of system where anyone can do anything, either, because otherwise we wouldn't have more party members than battle slots through Junah and Old Man. My guess is that every character has a small web of classes, and while there might be overlaps (Old Man could pick up Healer, for instance), everyone does have some degree of 'classes unique to them'. Connected to this, we have a battle victory screen.  EXP and Money are expected, and A-EXP (Archetype) would track with some other images we have of classes having levels. But... "Mag"? coming from Persona, and thus, SMT, the obvious answer would be "magnetite" but I don't think it's that.  This is from an earlier trailer and I think it's the keystone of this Archetypes-as-classes theory. Lastly, a few neat screenshots that elaborate on characters and give us some early insight into their personalities.  Strohl seems to have a supportive 'cool older brother' vibe going on.  Hulkenberg, meanwhile, seems to be a bit of a hardass. Definitely get Mitsuru vibes from her, though with more of a focus on being strong/tough/disciplined.  Gallica being cute.  Heismay seems to be kneading some dough here, and it looks like his personality has a flair for the dramatic. --------------------------------------- Lemme know if you have any thoughts, counter-analysis, theories, etc. It's not easy playing amateur game journalist.

I'd be amused if people started shipping her with Heismay just because you can do the ship name combination thingy and get Heisenberg for easy Breaking Bad jokes.

I am kind of amused that the elves are like the stone-cold physical superbadasses apparently, compared to the standard elf trait of "low physical/high magical or agility"

Someone else shared some extra info they had found on the Archetype system, quoting them directly and using their screenshots: ---------------------------------- Characters don't seem locked to a specific class line. Here is a screenshot featuring MC with "Dealer", Strohl with "Monk", and Hulkenberg with "Mage".  In another interview (unsure if it's been translated) it's stated that you awaken new Archetypes through bonds with people. Back in the very first video interview with Hashino a few months back there were a bunch of clips playing in the background. In them we can see the protagonist unlocking the "Healer" archetype by strengthening his bond with Maria, as well as gaining the "Brawler" archetype by strengthening his bond with the pink haired knight named Catherine.  Here we can see the screen where you select Archetypes. We can see that the Archetypes are broken up into what looks like categories with some sort of progression system, either through continuing the bond with the character you obtained them from or maybe just mastering that Archetype with a character, or both. In the first trailer there are brief moments where we can see the protagonist with "Magic Seeker" and Hulkenberg with "Magic Knight" equipped, which also suggests this. This looks like an early game screenshot where we can see Strohl with the "Fighter" archetype equipped (I believe this is the same Archetype as the Warrior one we see in English trailers, just a different name), with the cell directly next to it having a ? on it. Further up in the chart two cells are highlighted blue and red, most likely the protagonist's Seeker and Hulkenberg's Knight. ------------------------------------

The bond strengthening scenes and the few seconds in the trailer where they showed the Archetypes being updated/changed caused a few reactions of 'oh, it's just fantasy Persona' when it first came out IIRC.

Looking at that grid, it reminds me a lot of Digital Devil Saga 2's skill tree. It looks like there are a bunch of small individual sections/segments, but there are also areas where they're too close for them to tesselate perfectly. So, I assume that each small segment connects to one Bond, and mastering that class is more for letting you carry over useful skills to other classes than anything else. I'd also assume that after a party member joins, they'll get a Rank 1 bond pretty quickly that would let you access their 'base' class (Warrior for Strohl, Knight for Hulkenberg, Thief for Heismay). Still, that begs a question: Why are there more party member slots than there are party members (old man, Junah) if everyone's customizable in the FF5/Bravely Default vein? My best guess would be, well, like Digital Devil Saga: Everyone has a unique statline that makes them more suited for certain roles, like Heat having good Strength, and Argilla having high Magic. Also, given the Bond screen has a circle divided into 8ths, but each segment having at most 4 hexagons, I don't think every rank will give a new Archetype.

I'm not sure what's to necessarily be gained from speculating via dissecting trailers and interviews now vs waiting to find out actual details as they come out organically. Unless there's some kind of bet going on.

Your Uncle Dracula posted:I would watch Junpei's video. That's genuinely sweet, thank you. Anyway, it turns out that there's a lot you can notice going back to the original trailer with additional context. Like, the Mutsutari girl can be seen making a bond with the MC, as well as that Catherine girl mentioned, who if her ears and tail are any indication, is a Palipas. I would also like to note that while Catherine, a businessman-looking person with white hair, the Mutsutari girl (if you go frame by frame you can see the name "Eupha" pop up under the wheel) and the white-haired beret-wearer who controls Archetypes in that menu go for a handshake in the Bond-forming bit, Maria and the MC go for a pinky promise thingy, which is just so adorable. Anyway, looking at the grid, it looks like there are about 14 segments of connected Hexagons. Strohl Hulkenberg Heismay Junah Maria Catherine Eupha Beret Dude Businessman Old Man Party Member Palipas Party Member Gallica That's 12. I'm not sure where the MC's Seeker class comes from, maybe it'll be a self-bond, or a bond with the Prince they're trying to save, or maybe it's with Beret Dude as the 'first' Archetype, or Gallica, but there's about two more bonds, probably.
