Oh yeah, bee tea dubs: Persona Q is in this week's Famitsu. Please look forward to it!

(Please do not take this to mean there will be no information on other Persona-related projects, I am simply relaying what is being advertised on Famitsu dot com)

Another point of interest: The results of a reader poll re: which games readers want to see remakes of. Please look forward to it!

Of course, since tomorrow's when Famitsu leaks concerning the new P4AU character come out.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Which characters from Persona 4 do you want to see show up in P5?

Personally, im hoping that there will be a massive timeskip between 4 and 5, and that we get to see a cameo of grown up Narukami, Chie, and Nanako.

Would be kool to see Vincent and Orlando on the toiler aswell.

NONE

 

[Dantis]

Cheers for the positive comments, guys!

And now I'm telling you to draw Fuuka.

Really good picture by the way. It amazes me how you can get a picture like that done in a day.

Unfortunately, I don't like Fuuka, which is why I never draw her. Maybe she'll show up in a sketch someday, but I can't imagine ever drawing anything all coloured in and polished featuring her.

.

BRB, gonna vomit.

EDIT: Plus one vote for a minor character showing up. No major ones though.

God, why does this have to come out on April Fools Day?

 

[TurnipFritters]

God, why does this have to come out on April Fools Day?

Well technically it isn't supposed to hit shelves until the 3rd and won't be leaked in Japan until the 2nd so.

I didn't notice this post. Hello!

Have a picture of Yukari to commemorate the occasion:

Can't wait what comes next!

Spoiler

probably should get started on my end...

 

[TurnipFritters]

NONE

None.

I dunno, considering how obsessed they are with making Persona 4-related stuff, it seems pretty likely we'll see them in one form or another.

None. We need a clean break. I'd be cool with a Teddie cameo tho.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Or, given how obsessed they are making Persona 4-related stuff, it means they mean to disassociate it from an actual sequel.

Still likely, though, even though I hope myself that it's nothing big at all and on the level of Chidori in P4.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

I don't doubt that they will make a cameo or something. That doesn't change my answer though.

A Junes store is fine, fuck anything else though.

and on the level of Chidori in P4.

?

 

[TurnipFritters]

That logic doesn't follow at all.

Yosuke and Rise are main characters.

 

[arue]

Omg that's like one of the best drawing you ever did Dantis! How long did it take you to draw the whole thing?

I don't want to see any P4 characters, but I'm okay if they're being referenced in Trish's Who's Who.

Meanwhile, I look forward to the Famitsu reveal. Hopefully it's not an April Fools joke

 

[FluxWaveZ]

That logic doesn't follow at all.

Hm, maybe not in terms of a minor cameo (I was thinking more of a significant one). I meant that since they're doing a bunch of P3 and P4 fanservice stuff, it's not like they'll bog Persona 5 down with it since I'm certain they'll let it be its own game and let the fanservice games be their own thing as a result.

?

Oh wait, "Chihiro."

I figure it'll be more than what was in P4 but less than what was in P2. Although you probably won't go visit Inaba on a vacation since they already used that in P3P.

(Edit: I am excluding things like costumes, because I just remembered that Golden had a bunch of those. It's p. much guaranteed you'll see P3/P4-related costumes in P5. But then I also thought it was p. much guaranteed that you'd see, like, the Demi-Fiend's hoodie in SMT4 since they already had a hoodie graphic in it anyway but nope.)

Oh, for some reason I thought you said "tomorrow" instead of "this week's".

False alarm.

Still, it's April Fools right now in Japan since it's April 1 over there.

As much as I love Chie and would love to see her in Cop form, no. Persona 5 shouldn't have any of the cast from 4 in it. I mean, cameos are neat, but you have to have some reason if it's an IT member why they're not personally getting involved if there's some shit going down. It just opens a can of worms that's not needed.


I expect what we've already had, Tanaka selling you stuff somewhere, but since this is a new engine and everything, I want it to be as clean a break as 3 was to 2. 3 and 4 were linked because of engine, and then they linked them more in terms of story. That's fine, and I'd rather they do the same with Persona 5 and 6. ;D




Besides, they've shown they're not averse to the idea of having "side" games with more of the old characters, but even that should have a limit at this point. Q is a neat fanservicey thing where we can see the full SEES and IT at the height of their stories meeting and interacting, Arena is our sequel to P4 and P3, and who even knows what the dancing game is, but yeah, getting to be enough of that too. Well, barring Persona 3 Vita.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Something like this would also be fine.

Yu Narukami strung out in an alley desperately trying to make money showing people his "Persona."

Spoiler

I hope very little, if any. Kind of sick of the P4 cast at this point.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

I'm starting to notice that Kaneko's art(most of the time) looks better in game than it does outside of the game(only when the game is 3D though).

 

[Acid08]

I don't like how all of Kaneko's characters look like draculas.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

I don't like how all of Kaneko's characters look like draculas.

It works for every game he's done except persona. I think he said in a interview that he doesn't even do the coloring for his works iirc. I think Eji Ishida is the art director for Kaneko's games, maybe he does it?


edit: I never noticed how good Digital Devil Saga looks, GOD DAMN.

Soejima colored Kaneko's P1 stuff.

P2

P2

I meant Persona 1's artwork. Like this one here:

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

I meant Persona 1's artwork. Like this one here:

Nah, they asked him why does his art style look so cold and he said it was because he doesn't do his own coloring or some shit like that.


edit: and that picture doesn't look like soejima to me, way too shiny.

 

[Squire]

Real talk though, this actually made me laugh out loud:

.

*sigh* #videogames

 

[TurnipFritters]

It really would have been nice if Soejima or Doi or someone had redone the in-game art for Persona 1 Portable.

 

[Squire]

I don't like how all of Kaneko's characters look like draculas.

Right? They all look like vampires.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

It really would have been nice if Soejima or Doi or someone had redone the in-game art for Persona 1 Portable.

Right, P1's art is probably the worst looking out of all of the megaten games I have seen so far. Ayase in particular is just........WTF.

Right? They all look like vampires.

It works really really well for games like DDS and Nocturne.

 

[TurnipFritters]

Right, P1's art is probably the worst looking out of all of the megaten games I have seen so far. Ayase in particular is just........WTF.

The original Devil Summoner (the Sega Saturn one) is in the same style, and it's hecka frustrating because both DS and P1 have illustrations/promotional artwork actually have good coloring.

 

[TurnipFritters]

The cast of Digital Devil Saga literally live in a place that does not have sunlight, just perpetual rain.

 

[Gazoinks]

It works really really well for games like DDS and Nocturne.

Yeah, as I've said before, his art works really well when the game has a creepy tone where the weird slightly off-putting character art fits well, like DDS and Nocturne, but it feels a bit out of place in Persona to me, even in 2.

Has Dracula ever appeared in an SMT game?

 

[Squire]

I forgot Shirley called him "Lulu ". That was cute. I should watch that again. ^_^

It does. It creates a sense of dread and otherworldly-ness which is good for games like that. It's stylish; I do like it generally I just don't think it fits everything.

He thinks so himself, which is why he backed off of persona.

He is as smart as he's made out to be.

 

[TurnipFritters]

Not by that name, but stuff like "Vampire" and "Nosferatu" pop up here and there.

Is the Devil Survivor guy a official employee at Atlus or is he freelance?

 

[CrazyTank940]

Hello, PersonaGAF! I've been lurking here and a few other threads for a few months now (I started back in OT3). Now that my account has been validated, I thought I'd drop in to say hello.

Welcome to the madhouse!

I didn't notice this post. Hello!

Have a picture of Yukari to commemorate the occasion:

Looks good, Dantis

 

[Setsu00]

edit: and that picture doesn't look like soejima to me, way too shiny.

It is, Soejima explained in an interview (I believe it was for his artbook) that he was allowed with coloring the promo illustrations for Persona 1 after somebody (most likely Kaneko) liked his work on Soul Hackers.

 

[Caladrius]

Is the Devil Survivor guy a official employee at Atlus or is he freelance?

Yasuda?

Freelance artist. He also made character designs for Durarara, Yozakura Quartet and a bunch of borderline porn other things not worth mentioning.

I was literally about to bring that up haha, it just looks like he does porn. I remember reading that the original Megami tensei novels/anime/games dabbled in euroguro lol.

Yeah! I kind of hope that we get to see them, even if it is an Easter egg that we have to go out of our way to find. Maybe a Junes cameo? Catherine appearances are always welcome, too! Can't wait to find out. ;-)

"Satonaka! You're a loose cannon! That's the 4th perp you've Galactic Punted into the sun this week! That's it, you're off the case!"

Yeah, it's so important for the world and ensemble to "flow" naturally like that. A P5 rendered into a fanservice vehicle would not be taken seriously (and we've seen how bad that can get before). Some would be OK with that, but they're ok with a higher-made one too, whereas many other in the kaleidascope of the fanbase wouldn't.

I would like to see Hashino-vetted later stuff, or side games with twenty-something crew like what's being aluded to in Arena.

I'm starting to notice that Kaneko's art(most of the time) looks better in game than it does outside of the game(only when the game is 3D though).

I swear up and down he developed that around 2000 for ease of rendering and modeling. It's brilliant, intended or no.

Happy birthday Slink Fm.

I love this show. Ive been listening since episode 1, and you guys continue to get better with each installment. I definitely look forward to more episodes in 2014.

Hopefully, I can make an appearance one day.

Thanks for the awesome podcast Levit0. Give my regards to Armada and the rest of the Slink crew.
