2015 is a long ways away still.

I kinda feel like the protag's subdued understated design is very much intentional due to the game's supposed themes of restraint and emancipation. I imagine that breaking free from the shackles of modern society and finding one's identity will play a major role in the story.

That said I'm still hoping for some light cosmetic customization options for the characters.

 

[Sandfox]

Switch his unnatural grey color with black or blue, and he is your McDude #44. The charateristic of his hair that supposed to make him not look generic is the curly feature. There aren't that many characters with curly hair, but I guess we thought him as generic because he have plain expression and this guy:

The P5 MC looks like a random japanese student Atlus pulled off the street.

 

[Canis lupus]

So disappointed it's Soejima art again.

 

[StoopKid]

What exactly is Persona? I hear about it all the time, but I've never played one, don't know the story, gameplay, or anything. Saw the trailer for P5 and I have no idea what to gather from it.

Play persona 4 golden.

I've never really been into jrpgs but persona is just amazing.

They've already announced the PS3 version for NA.

 

[Platinum_D]

Great news

 

[Murder. She Wrote]

I will have a PS4 by the time this game releases.

That MC is one damn sexy metrosexual. Give me dat hair.

 

[xJavonta]

Literally the only reason I kept my PS3 around. I can now trade that bitch in

 

[Agent_4Seven]

PS3. Day one. Don't see any reason to buy a PS4 and PS4 version of the game.

Atlus USA already announced that the PS3 version was coming.

Bad person, you are

Why?

 

[CertifiedFP]

By the way, interesting theory here as well:

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Those glasses look worse than the joke glasses Teddy gives you in P4....

Getting this on PS4 day one.

:'(

I have those glasses on right now. I mean not as big proportionally, but thick rimmed square-ish glasses.They're very popular.

 

[Bloodrage]

That avatar, man. Bravo. I love it.

Thanks, man. I think you were first (that I noticed) to change avatars.

 

[bobawesome]

I have no reason to continue owning a PS3.

 

[BeforeJam]

Man oh man. Wow, he's just. He's a pretty dude.

 

[Immaculate]

So disappointed it's Soejima art again.

who were you expecting? kaneko hasnt worked on persona in a long time. last game he did art for was SJ iirc

 

[Kisaya]

They've already announced the PS3 version for NA.

Aahh cool!

Sometimes I forget how good Altus is with localization.

 

[Hasney]

Get double Platinum trophies for Persona 5 of course.

Spoiler

Actually it's Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and PS+ games for me, PS4/Wii U/3DS/Vita will be getting most of my time

Getting Ultimax on 360 as thats where my stick is, but that is the last last-gen game I think. Banking on AC Rogue coming to PC/current gen at some point since PIRATES.

 

[robotrock]

*prays for worldwide release date*

 

[Nesther]

So when will we see in-game footage?

The MC reveal is cool and all, but I'm so anxious to just see a single screenshot of the game.

Yeah the plain mature look would go well with the over-all serious/darker vibe they've got going with the game.

 

[artsi]

By the way, interesting theory here as well:

I'm pretty sure now that it's either law school or this.

The shackle stuff would also point to being imprisoned.

 

[7threst]

Aahh cool!

Unless you are in Europe...

(sorry, don't want to turn this into a 'EU is screwed again'-thread)

 

[DangerMouse]

Bad person, you are

Yup, I'm glad Soejima is back too.

So glad they really did it and got it to be on PS4 too.

 

[aspiegamer]

Man oh man. Wow, he's just. He's a pretty dude.

Asexual silent protagonist in that art style = automatic win.

We'll probably never get a FeMC again but, eh, this is pretty damn gender neutral.

 

[Neoxon]

Okay, the trailer looks interesting.

 

[-Horizon-]

Man oh man. Wow, he's just. He's a pretty dude.

Yes, yes he is lol
I do not like those glasses though.

 

[-Stranger-]

How could we possibly know this if the only information we have is a new anime trailer and a PS4 confirmation.

The best bet is that the PS4 version will run at 1080p, while the PS3 one runs at 720p.

No big deal then
I can't believe people throw away their PS3 when the new consoles come out.
I keep my old consoles

 

[Reversed]

This protag and Noctis

JRPG dudes rocking out with stylish black hair.

 

[the_sun_king]

Main character looks badass simply because he's rockin that Man from Nowhere hair.

Tangent: That's not the look of Won Bin's I remember from Ahjussi...

 

[Kisaya]

Still upset at this design though. Not about boring pretty boys

 

[SephiZack]

Can't wait to remote play this

 

[LX_Theo]

By the way, interesting theory here as well:

Doubtful. It looks like they're in Shibuya with a lot of shots showing stuff like cellphones. The emancipation theme seems like its going to be more based in the tech around people than anything (based on that trailer).

I suspect its just a school emblem with some similarities (maybe purposeful for the emancipation theme).

 

[Blood Diamonds]

I'm all for pretty boy MC

 

[Baroquemantic]

You guys saying you don't need your PS3 anymore, I'll be glad to take it off your hands.

Spoiler

My PS3 died today

 

[Love Deterrence]

Thanks, man. I think you were first (that I noticed) to change avatars.

My man! (I tried, ha!)

I have no reason to continue owning a PS3.

NOR DOES ANYONE ELSE.

 

[-Stranger-]

Literally the only reason I kept my PS3 around. I can now trade that bitch in

For $15

 

[JNA]

I'm all for pretty boy MC

He is a pretty boy but at the same time, he is also more normal looking than Yu. It's kinda hard to explain but I like the fact that his look stands out less than Yu did.

 

[Zee-Row]

TGS is already better than E3 for me!

 

[cj_iwakura]

Sure, I'll get rid of a console I own 20 games for. Makes perfect sense.

Yeesh, people should value their systems more.

 

[Nesther]

Spoiler

My PS3 died today

Phat PS3 ylod'd?

 

[Levito]

Everyone is so thirsty for the new protag.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

I'll say it now. I Like the MC.

 

[Zalman]

Everyone is so thirsty for the new protag.

Just wait until they reveal the waifus.

 

[Akibared]

The protagonist looks really cool I can't wait to see all the waifus I can date.
