Persona 5 - First details from Dengeki
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
So, could the story revolve specifically around shadows feeding on this overly positive energy that people have overcoming trials and end up killing themselves after it's been taken away? Or even being influenced to kill themselves after reaching that catharsis to release that energy?

I never played Mass Effect, but did Bioware change the interactions on which gender of Shepard you played.

Yeah. Atlus never promoting or including Hamuko in post-P3P games is really sad... and baffling. I mean, adding a female protagonist can only do good. Look at the Pokémon female player base, it is huge and the fact Game Freak introduced female protagonists in every post-Gen II game certainly helped that.
Really? Never heard of that. The bold part only makes me fear even more we won't see a new FeMC in Persona 5, unless they decide to use the engine for the cutscenes, instead of using animated ones.

What was the theme of Persona 4? Moving to a different city? I haven't played other Persona games.

Glad to hear it is sticking to the High School age group and am thrilled that the tone is going to be different. I will probably have to get a PS3 again (I traded mine in after finishing GTA5) just to play this.
I'd be quite disappointed if they rid of Igor...I'm with you

on Maire though.....not that I thought she was bad. She was okay...just not worth bringing back IMO.
But I say it all the time
p4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> p3

I loved the shit out of Persona 3: FES and it changed my life. I liked P4 a bit less and it was still handily GotY. Meanwhile, Devil Summoner 2 is the best JRPG ever nobody has played.
Yeah, P5 is gonna be rather good.

...Yeah lets start judging it a year before release. Seems like the right thing to do.
I liked her, it was refreshing to see such a art house freak in the middle of that group. Even liked the voice actor. Sure it was cheesy but really fitting for a teen, or have I missed it and today's teens are perhaps more mature in their ways?
lol
I think you have to appreciate that the Japanese voice actor for Igor passed away a few years ago, and as I understand it the Japanese fanbase were very fond of him. It might not be a particularly good idea to replace him with a new actor, so they may replace the character instead, as disappointing as that'd be.
To be honest, I actually think it's quite narrow-minded to think Igor might be replaced by a currently-existing character. The Velvet Room in P5 could have a new character to replace Igor, and possibly a new character as an assistant too.
But if we are looking at the current crop, for story reasons, I'd say Margaret or Elizabeth makes sense. Margaret because maybe she simply gets a promotion, and Elizabeth if (Arena 1 spoilers)
her new journey at the end of Arena has come to a close by time P5 begins, but she is a wild card Persona user now, so maybe that somehow precludes her from taking her old role in the Velvet room again
seemed to have left the Velvet Room, and was the weather woman. She never really was part of Philemon's group as Igor and the other Velvet Room residents were; she was simply lost and happened to find her way there.

Please give me a female option. Not being able to date Kanji or Daisuke in P4 already broke my heart enough, Atlus.
One of the things about Persona is that the protagonists (except in P2EP) are high school students so I don't see nothing bad about that.
And I'm glad that they decided to choose a theme like that. The Japanese school system is very stressful and people think that it's like anime and manga. Can't wait to see more information about the game.

I dunno how they're going to do Igor in Persona 5, or if he'll even be in the game, because the iconic Japanese voice actor for the character passed away in 2010.
I know that in japan once a seiyuu has voiced a character he will always be linked too said character forever. but i seem to remember that for Tales of Vesperia ( PS3) they did found a replacement for the VA for Dhaos who passed away so it can happen.
What's the theme of p3?

Almost wish they used a college aged theme, so they could really get further into the relationship links. They could really go places there, not by showing in game sex scenes, but really expanding that area of the game, it just wouldn;t be right to do that with HS aged characters. Darker and more adult, yeah..

Memento Mori ("Remember your mortality"), if I recall correctly.
Just like the announcement of the game loool.
Really? Didn't seem like it while I was playing it

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Kinda happy that I am not alone in my island, too bad that we likely won't get what we want.
not terribly excited about the high school setting but what can you do... teenagers probably make up the bulk of the target demographic, so it's probably a sound business decision.
hopefully this one actually has well designed dungeons to keep me interested in between the excellent character bits.

It is been a long time since I played Persona 3, so I might be wrong. Anyway, I just checked the wikia and it says the following in the P3P page:
You know... my P3 collection is exactly the same as your, if you replace the PSN ones from your list with physical Japanese copies. I was thinking to get Japanese digital P3P using that UMD passport for discount actually, so I can play P3P on my Vita...

we've got to wake up, disruptive art!! play that arcade fire song!
I'm going to say it out loud so listen.
Highschoolers are screwing. Get used to it. Teach them proper protection and let it be. Think the majority of the world doesn't have 18/21 to be honest but early teens(14+).

Why does everybody want a Female MC so much?

I personally just want a tone closer to Persona 3. Which was indeed darker than P4.
Though obviously it wasn't hugely dark and gritty. It was a pretty good balance honestly.
--------------------------------------------------------
I can't see how anyone can say P3 is a bad game. It set the ground work for P4 and is for the most part similar. The most I can understand is not liking the dungeon levels and the grind to finish them. But as I played on a easier difficulty it gave me all I wanted. Still actually prefer it to P4. Just found characters and story far more memorable. gameplay wise they're the same to me.
i think you have it backwards... they want a maifu

A shame it's in highschool again, but I guess it's tradition at this point.
My man.
I want to play the game using a female avatar. She's not my waifu, she's me in this instance.

This might shock you, but some people like how gender changes the character dynamic and the storyline.
Shocking, I know.

You keep telling yourself that.
Some people here are female and want to play as a female character. Others just want to have husbandos instead of waifus, others might want to experience the different routes both genders can provide, etc. There are plenty of reasons to justify a new FeMC in Persona 5. It is not rocket science.
OH BOY
Because the choice P3P gave us made the story and overall feel of the game comepletely different with having both a male and female protagonist.
Also, I want my FeMC to be the best goddamn asshole delinquent. I want a Jolyne Kujo

I will. I have read the numerous comment's on the matter but from my personal experience it indeed felt that way. I mean if I didn't get that vibe from when I played it I wouldn't be saying it. Though I can understand where the disagreements come from.
I think you're missing the point. Let me quote an earlier post to perhaps enlighten your conundrum.
And I agree, inclusion and choice are nearly always a good thing. Only time I can't see it as a good thing is if they included Rainbow Dash from MLP as a demon in the SMT series.
