Ooooh ooooooooooh this looks fantastic.

 

[Fancy Clown]

Holy hell that looked good

Now that the site is actually working, it looks like they have a new blog post up: http://p-ch.jp/news/detail/?nid=244

It's a message from Hashino and the dev team to fans. He talks about how Persona 5's main influences are School Juvenile fiction and Picaresque novels. Unlike previous Persona games where the players were clearly a team on the side of "good" going after a bad guy, this time they're trying for something a little different. The story is about high school students chasing after their own interpretation of "justice" after an unexpected incident. He hopes fans will enjoy the enhanced graphics and sound in the new entry as well as party members who might be a little more ill-mannered than before.

Hnng.

I don't have the time right now and I'm sure some people are already typing away furiously at their translations anyway, but my main takeaway is this:
- they're aiming for a blend of "young adult high school" drama and "picaresque romantic" tales.
- in the previous installments, you were chasing evil. This time, you're the one being chased.

Japanese version, Day 1. (I think I said that already)

Wuuuh? Shadows got the system trying to hunt down the vigilantes? I accept their challenge!

Wait the protagonist is gonna speak now?

That would be great. I still think they are going for a semi "insert-yourself-here" kind of character though.

 

[N.A]

Looks like it's just a 3 person core party this time around. (plus cat)

I'm sure we'll be getting monthly famitsu character reveals.

Dunno if any of you guys caught this, but it seems that The Velvet Room in P5 is a jail cell, and Igor's assistants are your guards:

I assumed that was the velvet room. I wonder if it functions differently.

 

[HabeeNo]

Dunno if any of you guys caught this, but it seems that The Velvet Room in P5 is a jail cell, and Igor's assistants are your guards:

Ow shit, good catch!

 

[boredandlazy]

I like the choice of protagonist's VA

Persona 5 [OT] All According To Keikaku

 

[Risk Breaker]

Cat with a slingshooooot

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I can see the cat puns already.....

 

[sappyday]

Honestly if the party is that small then I feel like the MC should have a voice acting beyond just grunts. But hopefully the party is bigger.

 

[Stereogatari]

I can see the cat puns already.....

Catastrophe, cat it out!!!

 

[Atlas157]

That looks amazing.

Now where is Persona 6.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

This trailer. Holy shit. After months and months of teasing they just drop this bomb on us. Fucking hype.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I wonder if they're going back to negotiations or if the MC has a locked persona like the rest of the party. Not gonna lie, I'm hoping for the latter.

No locked Persona, gimme an entire Wild Card party again!

 

[Zareka]

Oh man that blog post sounds so good. So goooood.

Hoping the protagonist is silent if I'm honest. A nameable, but still fully fleshed out and voiced, main character just sounds so weird. Like they can't make up their mind whether they want it to be the player or not.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I can see the cat puns already.....

Puuuursona!!

 

[cj_iwakura]

Nice to see weapons/guns again, awesome throwback.

 

[LuuKyK]

Is that... Pyro Jack?

 

[Dawg]

The castle seems to be the first real dungeon. Also all gameplay seems to be in the castle.

You have 4 party members. Two human allies, one cat and yourself.

In Persona 4, Yukiko's castle is the first real dungeon. You get Chie and Yukiko there. Yosuke before. Also 4 party members total.

So that means there will be a bunch more party members after eh? :3

 

[Human_me]

Oh man.

I can not wait till this gets a proper English release.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

The music

The graphics

I can't

Release date pls

 

[arue]

Road-skiing and shooting stuff confirmed.

I love this part of the trailer so much... wait no, every part of the trailer!

Everything looks so good; it's glorious. Can't wait until Tuesday.

 

[Kinsei]

Is that... Pyro Jack?

Yes, and the other 2 are Sandman (Sandmen?)

 

[duckroll]

It's interesting that in SMT3 and P3, Atlus removed the gun weapons from the respective series, but in SMT4 and P5, they've brought guns back as weapons with their own equip slot. Maybe they're.... gunning for their fanbase?

 

[Sandfox]

Is that... Pyro Jack?

It looks exactly the same so I would guess so.

 

[Seik]

Holy fucking shiiiiiiiiiiit.

That theme.

Those stylish menus.

That gameplay.

This is soooooo day 1!

 

[cerulily]

I'm sure we'll be getting monthly famitsu character reveals.

ah ok. This just looked like the opening videos for the other persona games. So it was odd to see only 4 charas included.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Amazing! Looks like Persona alright!

Hype!!

 

[bonercop]

1:17 is that Catherine's pub?

Nah, though it does look similar thanks to the reused assets.

 

[koutoru]

The Shadow Operatives are going to hate all over this MC.

 

[Sinfamy]

Its 5 AM, I have class in 5 hours and a ton of work afterwards, but god dammit I am happy.
I am giggling and smiling like a little girl.

I got a Type-0, FFXV and a Persona 5 trailer the same night.

This year is going to be amazing.

Buying it day -0.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Holy fucking shiiiiiiiiiiit.

That theme.

Those stylish menus.

That gameplay.

This is soooooo day 1!

Day 1 is an understatement!!

 

[Paper Sparrow]

Can't wait for when we stay up for the Persona 6 premiere.

Morgana: How's everyone, nya? Get ready for the trailer in 5 minutes, nya!

 

[Jintor]

Wuuuh? Shadows got the system trying to hunt down the vigilantes? I accept their challenge!

It almost sounds like it's gonna be Persona-users vs Persona-users

 

[Nameless]

If the Japanese version has the option for English subs/menus and drops months earlier than the US version, this will definitely be my first PS4 import.

 

[Steel]

Looks like no more social links and you fight your old persona like sandman in fights. Didn't see social links in the menu. Big changes holy crap.

There's probably something like social links in, they still have the calendar system.

 

[Nibel]

Still watching the trailer.

Just wow. I love everything about this.

 

[Tirod]

Dunno if any of you guys caught this, but it seems that The Velvet Room in P5 is a jail cell, and Igor's assistants are your guards:

Oh wow, I never noticed the guards at all in my ongoing repeated viewings lol.

Nice catch, that was the only weird, out of place scene I couldn't wrap my head around.

I also find the idea of the Velvet Room being a personal jail cell hilarious.

 

[YuriLowell]

Everything about this looks amazing.

 

[M0nochromatic]

I just saw it.

I am crying. My god atlus, my god. It's everything I wanted and more. JRPG of the forever

 

[bomblord1]

Anyone else notice the transformation sequence at the end had the persona awakening sound?

It looks like persona's in this game are literal masks instead of figurative ones.

 

[Thoraxes]

Famitsu Screen + Hashino Interview taste (buy next week's magazine for the full thing peeps).

 

[Xenocthul]

That trailer was amazing. I'm definitely getting this day 1.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

All they need to do now is nail the english voice acting.

 

[GothPunk]

guys,someone is able to pick up the background from the official website?thanks

This is the highest resolution (1659 x 1440) I could find from the official website:

Using it as my FB cover photo now

 

[Inuhanyou]

I like the choice of protagonist's VA

I'm sorry, this picture just reminds me of the VA's work on this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8NgPddoPkQ

Considering the kinds of characters he usually voices, i hope to see a similar performance in this game too.

HE JUST VOICES THESE KINDS OF CRAZY ASS CHARACTERS! I can tell the MC has to be like Lelouch or some off kilter guy

 

[Acidote]

I can't wait for this game. I'm buying a premium sit for it's HYPE TRAIN.

 

[KojiKnight]

I'm not liking the super hero thing going on in this trailer.

Also, a cat is apparently part of the core team this time around?

Also, their persona's seem to be literal masks/outfits in this game based on the sequence at the end.

Super hero? It's more of a cat burgler theme like from the 1950's serials.

 

[Protag]

The dungeon design looks glorious, glooooooriousssss.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Is that... Pyro Jack?

It is. Looks like they're going back to using demons as regular enemies.
