I think it's sleek AF.
Didn't see the word gameplay so I had hoped it was more up close shots of them yanking their masks off the first time sorta thing. Still, neat.
While I still think the evoker from P3 is the coolest (if silly) way of summoning a Persona, this is pretty close.
(Crushing/destroying a tarot card for p4, kinda meh)

I liked it during the initial reveal, but now it just looks busy to me.
Same, the UI is sexy AF

I wonder how long they'll continue to pretend that the other guy on the box art doesn't matter.
I can understand, though I don't think its that busy. If anything, I think its less busy than a UI usually is.
To each their own, in any event.

I've been on blackout for this game (and have been slowly losing my grip) but uh
Makoto's stand is a motorcycle?

I love how they continue to try and hide him being important or even really existing despite the fact that he's on the god damn box.
That oversaturated, bloomed pink scorches my retinas.
They released some of his info and Soejima's artwork on last week's famitsu. So I assume they will fully reveal him soon.
What the hell kind of attack is that? Doesn't look like dark or almighty.
I wouldn't be surprised if they don't reveal Goro's thief outfit or show him in the party before launch. He starts as an antagonist, so they probably want to keep the details of him being a party member secret.
Psionic, from Devil Summoner. In particular, that attack is Psyo (medium Psionic attack). Atlus is going for the deep cuts in P5, it seems.

Noticed this as well. I wasn't expecting it but I'd be thrilled if this was 60 on PS4.

This game should not look and sound this damn good. The UI and animations are awesome.

I had to laugh at Morgana running into the screen. Ow.
All the personas look fantastic, but I have to give the MVP to Makoto and Johanna. Motorbike, all day, everyday.

Yes, its a motorcyle.
Its name is Johanna, better known as Pope Joan. Yes, Pope. And she, as I recall, has nuclear skills.
Its a nuclear powered pope-cycle.
Same way a persona named after a fictional eldritch book and is a UFO is (the Necronomicon, specifically).
In truth, the motorcyle doesn't make sense to me at least but it may relate to Makoto wanting to "break free" and motorcyles are often seen as a symbol of freedom
Cool. Do you know what new skills (at least from P3 and P4) that we've seen so far?

As visually appealing as it is, it looks about as difficult to navigate as a HAL Laboratory game.
Off the top of my head, we've seen Psionic skills (Haru has them), Nuclear skills (Makoto has them), and non-Mudo Dark skills (the MC's starter Persona has them), none of which were in P3/P4 but have been seen in various other Megaten/Persona games.
The top menu is all mapped to face/D-pad buttons which are clearly labeled, and the skill list is just a vertical list. Nothing like a HAL game.
We've seen non-instant-kill dark skills (eiha, I believe is one of them, and the MC's Persona uses them), as well as nuclear ones.

I love the Persona series, but damn this color palette mixture and everything is just too much. I don't like it really. I'm disappointed this is what they came up with. Just keep is simple man.

Really? I'm the opposite. I feel that this stylized look is perfect for a jrpg where I'm gonna be in a dungeon for half the game. It moves in and out fast and feels sleek and smooth. The color contrast also really makes it pop out for me. I can understand why you might not like it though.

I have found my wife.
That felt sort of disorienting for me. It feels intuitive at one level with how commands are mapped directly to buttons on the controller and how you queue immediately into summoning your Persona when you're preparing to cast spells, but it just feels like a lot goes on at once on the screen whenever you're doing anything. Made it harder to follow than it should be. I really feel the style of it, but I can't say I'm entirely happy with how things seem to go down in practice.

I agree. All these transitions and the design make it look very busy. Style is cool for a video, but not what I want for 100h.
I honestly think people will find it the opposite - it only looks overwhelming at first, but it's both quicker and easier to actually use than, say, P4's UI, and by 10-20 hours you won't even notice how flashy it is anymore.
There's actually not all that much stuff on screen, and in some ways the UI is actually less intrusive than P4G's, it's just more animated.
it definitely seems to move at a faster pace than p3/p4 which is nice

This UI is gonna give me a seizure. Or it's more of the flashing really. Probably get used to it, but I'm actually having a hard time watching this vid. Hurts my eyes.
While Makoto's my favorite party member, Yusuke is easily a close second.
I plan on leveling everyone equally (I always do it in Persona, just in case I end up needing to switch someone in for something specific) but I'm pretty sure him, Makoto and whoever the dedicated healer is (probably Anne, I think?) will be my main party.

Seriously. I was wowed when we got our first glimpse...but man, it's beyond busy and borders on being unreadable.
TMS' is significantly clearer and just easy on the eyes.
