Hahaha. This will never stop catching people. It's a really well done fake. The 'music' is, IIRC, remixed P2 stuff.

It's the opposite, she wasn't in P3 or P3FES, she was in P3P which came out after P4.

Huh. I guess I retroactively placed her in FES as well. Edogawa was in both though.
Man, I hated the way she talked.
Different strokes for different folks. Translating the script to English admittedly made it a bit confusing when
, though.
...except I don't think they ever explained why she speaks Cantonese at all. Was it her mom? I don't even know.
one of her problems in the story is that she's frustrated everyone thinks she can speak perfect English

Nah, it's just handpicked music from various sources (not from any particular game or anything), some of them remixed. There's some good music to it, though I never liked the concept of the fans running with the "Persona 5" name and even at some point trying to make an actual game out of it.
I don't get people asking for it to be grittier. Play a Shin Megami Tensei game then.
P4 was already somewhat dark and P1-P3 were extremely dark. Simply watch FES's intro to watch

I think she learned it by watching Kung-fu movies.

Your guess is as good as mine

Started amazing. Loved the first few episodes. Lately it just feels like typical anime though. Ryuuko, initially introduced as a cool, rebellious punk girl character, has pretty much no personality after the first few episodes, shes just there to react to every situation the way any generic anime hero would. Without the hero being likable anymore, you still get laughs from supporting characters like Mako and rogues gallery of weirdo enemies Ryuuko has, but its just not what it could be. Its still ok, and I'm hoping it can come back strong, but the "Best Show Ever" it presented itself as in the first three episodes doesn't look like something it can measure up to, I fear.

High school again...
As a big fan of Persona 2's setting, I'm feeling the same.
But of course fans would be upset if they tried something new, so meh.
I'll still play it and enjoy it though. Just hope it's at least different enough to not feel like a rehash. But honestly I'm not sold by the synopsis. Becoming "free" or whatever sounds very similar to P4's "facing oneself" thing.

But even P2 was based around High School students. It just wasn't based IN a high school.
Maybe this one will be based in a juvenile penitentiary.

Maybe my memory is hazy, but wasn't Eternal Punishment from the perspective of a female journalist or magazine editor writing a story on a serial killer or something? Perhaps it included a lot of HS elements/characters, but that's not what stood out to me. What stood out to me is the game starting off in a office building with a female business woman protagonist. It was bold by JRPG standards, and I loved the adult characters/themes.
So yeah, I guess I'd just prefer it from a perspective outside of high school.
Yes
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment was definitely unique as far as Persona goes.
That said, Persona 2 as a whole is absolutely about high school students (Tatsuya, Lisa, Eikichi,
Jun
That's... that's weird.
It was the second half a story that heavily involved a high school and high school characters, whom said female journalist were heavily involved with.

More sexual tones? I'm ok with that, I hope Atlus delivers on the fan service and gives us another round of adorable waifus.

Lisa learned Cantonese as a way to rebel against her parents who wanted her to be a proper Japanese girl. I swear this was stated in Innocent Sin.
Did Atlus ever clarify if (P4 Spoilers)
We still don't fully know/understand why demons disappeared and why you fight Shadows in P3/P4. What is worth noting is that(P4G Spoilers)
I want to believe Atlus is tying everything together...
I'd say the question of demons is something that we probably won't get an answer for. It'd clash too much with modern Persona.
Izanami is a demon?
to my knowledge, Persona 4 Golden is the only Persona game to adhere to the Shin Megami Tensei mythos of True Godess Revival via the way of Marie, the reincarnation of Izanagi. Also ironically when they decided to drop the SMT moniker.
what with the possibility of Nyarl and the teaser Shadow Operatives pic in Arena.
I'd say the question of demons is something that we probably won't get an answer for. It'd clash too much with modern Persona.
I was diligent about trying to read as much dialogue as possible, stopped by everywhere after every event, up to and including the Silverman Manor and I swear I never read that.
That makes a lot of sense, though. Thanks!
I can't remember if I learnt this in the game, from you, or just my own logic. :/
Makes sense though.
Edogawa pretty much laid out the relevant mythological background(I love how he answers plot questions by being completely off the wall insane by real world standards),
basically it sounds like Atlus just wanted to use the Izangai, Izami myth in the story somewhere and by persona plot relatives Izanami is more akin to Nyx and Philemon(Eldritch abominations) than demons.
I remember that from the game. If it wasn't directly said it was heavily implied a few times.
Yeah, now that you mention it I definitely recall that from somewhere. I think it was listed in a description of her character somewhere in game, and not dialogue? Was it her introduction?

Atlus is the entity that many love to worship.

It has to be somewhere else in the game because its not in her introduction. Her intro pretty much says she is a white girl who speaks Japanese and the sexiest girl in school. PSP version is similar, says she loves Kung Fu and is the self proclaimed hottest girl in school.

That is exactly what I want Atlus to avoid. People want a more mature game, yet they ask for fanservice (which only makes the game less mature and also cringe worthy).

Are you sure about it?
Don't pretend like P4/P4G's success has nothing to do with them trying to tap in to the otaku culture as well, in some ways.
And what is "mature" anyways.
Laughing Banana
Weeping Pickle
I don't need a "mature" game. I do want a fanservice game though.
That said maturity in a medium and fanservice aren't exactly mutually exclusive. It's all about how it's done.
This is wrong.
For better or worse, Ryuuko has changed very little other than warming up to Mako and Senketsu. Hell, her punkiest moments were in episode 4.
My guess is it will be blonde, regardless of gender.

I hope he has natural pink hair. And modern society brings him down for being too awesome to conform to their gender stereotypes.
The new guy in P4 Arena 2 already has red hair, though.
Considering we have no idea who this guy is is it possible he is in P5?
Ah, I love scarfs. I would fully support this.
We know a bit about him. We know:
- His name's "Sho Minazuki."
- That he has a Yasogami outfit around his waist for some reason.
- That he wants to "slit everyone's throats."
- That he's probably not allied with Shadows either since one of his intro has him slice one in half.
- That he can fight without a Persona and his title is "The Lawbreaking Pun Machine."
- That he gains or uses a Persona at some point and his portrait looks more malicious when he does and his title becomes "The Defaced Dark Messiah."
- Is presumably behind the events of P4A and P4A2.
All that said, I don't think there's anything linking him to P5 aside from the color red while there's plenty just linking him to the P4A saga, so it's too soon to come with a conclusion either way, but the safest bet currently would be that he's just a P4A character.
Ginko 2.0: MC Edition? Is Japan ready for a foreigner main lead?

But it is a great example of what it CAN be. The cast of EP is far and away the most interesting of the bunch. You get to see not only the cast of P1 come into their own, in both good and bad ways, but also see that who you are isn't just decided in high school or college. It's a continuing process.
Not really, in fact while yes it is the 'kids' who start it its the adults who finish it.
They are the ones who have to fix the mess made by the younger generation.
God I love that game.
Or perhaps the MC is Aegis 2.0, hmm?
Whatever they do I hope they forget Lisa existed.

Well Rise was almost Ginko 2.0
Love both of those designs BTW.
