Also in further copy/pasted from tumblr news:



Seven deadly sins. 'Irritum' means 'useless.' Cavum means 'depression' (as in a low point in the ground, but they might have gotten the meanings mixed up.)



Later on you can see some bars with those words, so maybe a deadly sins gameplay element? Or your party members are meant to represent them?

Maybe it's over-analyzing, but why is Ira/Wrath the only one that's backwards? Maybe if the sins are applied to characters, it's the antagonist?

the hell is up with those pants?

All of the if... and 1/2 references... is 5 a return (or at least, have a more direct connection) to the old Persona universe?

Since Teddie already handled the mystery mascot gig, I'd kinda like it if Morgana was just the MC's pet who got dragged into the Persona shenanigans with him.

They could do it again, but you know, actually do it well.

"Who IS Teddie? This mysterious creature in the TV world?"

"...Well, it turns out he's a shadow."

"Whoa! But we fought his shadow version as a boss. Who was that then? Who is Teddie a shadow of? Why is he nice?"

"...Uh...it doesn't matter at all. Let's not think about it at all. Let's continue searching for the incredibly obvious killer."


This is one of the reasons I don't know how people can say Persona 4 has a better story than 3. Characters and gameplay? Certainly. But story? At least P3 was able to wrap up everything in a nice enough bundle.

Almost every single shadow in game is just formed from collective conscious gunk. Like every random encounter monster is a shadow made from nothing that are not tied to anyone. Shadow's don't all come from specific people. Teddie's just a weak, simple shadow that isn't aggressive and eventually becomes his own truly introspective and sentient being, that's how he becomes human and manifests his own shadow/persona. Literally every scene with him pre-Rise is him learning about people and starting to doubt his own abilities and his place in his world, hence Shadow Teddy being a big hollow monster that talks about how pointless life is. It's the most blatant and spelled out character arc in this game written for babies and you'd have to ignore hours of text to not get that.

I was originally responding to someone who was hoping that the new cat character wouldn't be a focus of mystery, since Teddie already did that. My point was that no, even if Teddie was mysterious at first, the "answer" to his mystery was boring and didn't really tie into the plot. It looks they're going to do it right this time, since the cat will actually have something to do with the overall theme/mystery.

(Maybe those games actually are unfun to play, I dunno, but they have so much style and I'm real interested in em)

The final dungeon killed all interest I had in finishing the game :(

I still recommend it though. Just play the Personas and the main series first.

hey did anyone else notice a lack of both Shin megami tensei AND fire emblem?

this is bullshit and i'm definetely not buying the game now. I mean, I probably wasnt going too before, but now it is a certainty.

The countdown will end and then it'll say that Persona 5 has been cancelled.

I hope it is cancelled. Then we'll never have to think about this stupid, endlessly delayed poo poo ever again.

With a gay and furry option Persona 5 will be the most progressive Persona yet!
