Isn't Mara a woman in P3/P4?

It's only a Strange Journey thing.

 

[Brix]

Sucks I gotta wait till February

 

[depths20XX]

UI looks fine and will become second nature after playing the game just like any RPG.

Only complaint is that I have to wait so long to play this.

 

[ckohler]

Is that the battle theme? Because if it is, awesome!

No. You can hear it the battle theme in this video (0:40):

[Phu]

I just discovered this new track.

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

Now that's smooth.

Damn, that's nice.

I haven't seen this posted at all.

Some details there I haven't seen before, namely you getting a skill in a co-operation that allows you to switch characters mid battle.

Awesome. Hopefully the game encourages character swaps so everyone can be useful all the time.

 

[Rushersauce]

The more I see of the UI the less I like it.

It's the opposite for me, the more I see it, the more I like it.

 

[Strimei]

There is a Yosuke in this game too?

Its Yusuke, not Yosuke. Yeah, kinda weird to have, but we also have Ryuji, when there was a Ryoji in 3.

Isn't Mara a woman in P3/P4?

Mara's an eldritch tentacled phallus on a chariot, which feels like it'd be male to me. Though when it comes to demons and eldritch beings, who knows what gender(s) apply.

Yes, I'm aware of Mara's aesthetic but from everything I've read about SMT it's been said that Mara is considered female.

mara is clearly the bigger man

 

[Olengie]

Sucks I gotta wait till February

A part of me hopes an Asia Eng Sub release somehow happens

 

[suzu]

The complaints about it taking up space are weird since it's menu-based combat. lol. The UI's graphics/style might not be to some people's liking, but I disagree that it's busy.

The visuals kinda reminds me of manga/comics, which is nice. It's something different.

I like that the persona is summoned while you're choosing skills.

 

[Sub_Level]

You know what that look means.

 

[Korigama]

I wouldn't expect Atlus USA to make any changes to how the game presents itself. They just localize it.

As it should be.

 

[KoroEunectes]

So the elements for the party are:
P5MC = Dark
Ryuji = Zio
Morgana = Garu
Anne = Agi
Yusuke = Bufu
Makoto = I'M NUCLEAR I'M WILD
Haru = Psychic
I guess Goro will be light or they could make him like Naoto in P4G and just make him good at everything.

Agreed.

Yeah, it's rather stupid, but what can you do.

Sure, we know he'll be a party member, but we don't know what his outfit looks like, what his Persona is, his arcana, etc. like we do for everyone else. And I don't mind them trying to keep at least something a surprise for when you play the game!

Just seems rather unnecessary and makes them look stupid for spoiling a party member that they wanted to keep a secret.

You know what that look means.

Makoto going nuclear.

 

[Niks]

The UI is awesome. You guys who think it's too busy should consider that this video shows someone playing as fast as possible (I think that's the point, to show how fast it can be now). You can slow down and not have all the effects run together. That will be more common anyway. Regardless, it doesn't bother me.

I think people are talking about all the text in the screens.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

The more I see of the UI the less I like it.

I... Kind of agree. It looks very busy and seems to take up a lot of the screen.

Weird coming from P4G which I felt had a very clean but appealing UI.

 

[Lynx_7]

I don't get the UI complaints to be honest. I just watched the video and it seems perfectly fine. Commands are easy to see and understand, menus actually take up less space on the screen than Persona 4 and 3, transitions are smooth and fast. There really isn't anything "busy" about it, unless by busy you actually mean "it doesn't look like every other JRPG battle UI I'm used to".
Opinions and all, I know, I'm just genuinely confused by some people's reaction.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Another good reason to go on BLACKOUT.

someone explain how that bike is related to theivery again

She ride that bitch like she stole it.

 

[Dancing Queen]

I liked it during the initial reveal, but now it just looks busy to me.

Yes. I don't know why they have to put so many things popping up. Just seems they are trying too hard to make it look cool.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Yes. I don't know why they have to put so many things popping up. Just seems they are trying too hard to make it look cool.

They pop up like that because of the speed of the player. Your not going to be playing the game at that speed normally

 

[ramyeon]

I honestly don't like how all the Personas have the same washed out/neon blue colouring this time around.

Everything else looks fantastic.

 

[Lusankya]

Yes. I don't know why they have to put so many things popping up. Just seems they are trying too hard to make it look cool.

Many things? You press one button and then one new thing will pop up.

 

[visiblemode]

Same, the UI is sexy AF

Same. I haven't seen anything I don't like about this game.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Is it just me who thinks Makoto is gonna be GOAT? I just can't get over it. Her sense of duty must be extremely powerful

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

Not a giant fan of all the garbage on the screen...

But at least it's craaaaaaaaaazy clean and sharp.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Is it just me who thinks Makoto is gonna be GOAT? I just can't get over it. Her sense of duty must be extremely powerful

No. She IS already GOAT

 

[kaisersephirot]

I never played Persona before, but probably I'll start with this one.

Just one question, do you often summon this beast? Somehow this summon animation is too quick for me, like those FF long cinematic summons :/ But if you summon them often, than its OK because you don't want to have same cinematics every battle or two

You summon a Persona every time you pick a skill. After doing that hundreds of times, I think one would appreciate the summon being a swift motion.

You summoned those in previous games for every attack. But who knows how it is in this game. We'll see.

Also, if your starting with this game your in for a treat.

YES

You cannot cast a spell without summoning the "beast" (they're called Personas btw.), so it's a good thing it's a quick animation as you will see it nearly every single battle.

Yes, you summon your Persona extremely frequently for the vast majority of attacks. In P3 and P4 it played a summoning animation every single time when you attacked, and it definitely slowed the pace of battles. Changing it to a near-instant animation while still in the menu is a hugely welcome change.

 

[Quote]

oh god, run me over.

 

[afreaknamedpete]

The one thing I hate is the brief screen filling flash that appears just before the starting eye cut in appears. It's sudden and probably seizure inducing.

Every 90s anime was seizure inducing with those flashes....i think that's not as bad as the Pokemon porygon episode

Tnx guys, that sounds reasonable then. EU Gaf here, so hope it will be released here next year :/ I like visual part so much and I hear here a lot praise for older stuff, so definitely day 1 for me

 

[Weltall Zero]

There are probably limitations to Baton Touch, and it's also an ability locked behind a Cooperation level.

Ah! OK then; I thought it was a game feature that was always on. Yeah, that makes much more sense.

OK that's the last thing I ever watch from Persona 5 until its US release I swear.

Besides the fishing video I just watched.

Help me.

Now I really want the Japanese VA DLC. Please Atlus...
Edit: It's fine if we don't get any, but I'd willing to pay.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Understood nothing, but fantastic trailer nonetheless.

Personas in glorious HD!

 

[Inuhanyou]

Flipping cat cars. What's next?

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Hopefully Atlus recycle the assets for these HD demons for a coule of games before the Gen is over. Looks great.

 

[Taruranto]

Yusuke sounds a lot manlier than I thought he would.

He's really a Jun expy through-and-through, kinda bizarre lol.

 

[artsi]

Morgana commercial

Whoops, looks like my previous theory about Morgana being a bakeneko is now confirmed.

 

[Ravage]

I love this but lol why is it named BreakableMarriedDugong.gif?

 

[Shin-chan]

Hoping for at least SMTV on PS4 and NX with another DDS style spinoff that stands alone.

 

[zoukka]

Yeah the UI looks like it will grow old fast.

 

[Ultimadrago]

I love this but lol why is it named BreakableMarriedDugong.gif?

It's the way Gyfcat names its processed files (I thinks). Adjective-Verb-Animal or something of the sort. Comes up with some silly results~

 

[Drama Zed Nod]

Yeah the UI looks like it will grow old fast.

I respectfully disagree.

wholeheartedly.

 

[AgentLampshade]

The only issue I have with the UI is that I'm definitely going to press the wrong button more than once out of sheer menu-browsing habit.
