People are saying there's nothing about fake guns in the article. Can anyone confirm?
Edit: It seems like that was in a different article.

Check Gematsu, they have screenshots of what everyone is talking about.
Yeah I know, it makes me sad. Dude was unrivaled. But it's not like they can't continue in the same vein.
Yeah, the wackiness has always been there but up until P3 they were all still human looking but with some out there design elements for the most part. They looked like people with crazy costumes. Then in P3 they ratcheted it up to 11 and never looked back, most just look like weird toys, or dolls really, instead of people. I mean Yukari's ultimate persona is Isis and instead of using the pretty great looking design they had they create this weird disembodied abomination.
I mean what the hell.

So that shadowy thing we saw in the TGS trailer must have been Arsene. Knew the blue flames were the tip off.

If they are going with a sins theme, assuming the main character isn't going to be Cavum or Irritum due to the whole wildcard thing, I'd be shocked if he wasn't Ira. Arsene's design combined with the whole chains summoning basically screams massive internal anger issues.
I thought it was deliberate to separate personas from demons. From wholly design perspective, wouldn't it be weird if Yukari summoned the left Isis instead of the right? I guess it'll too similar to SMT or any game from its subseries.

The info leaked from Famitsu, some of this is coming from Dengeki

Arsene doesn't look that awesome to me. On an unrelated note, his attire resembles Edgeworth's from Ace Attorney.
I get that. I was mostly just comparing their overall design. I understand they'd want to differentiate the two, but there are better ways to do it. At the same time though all the persona the MC summons are the same old demons used throughout the other various SMT series so it's not that big of an issue.
I know the charm of Kaneko's design too, and it's pretty heartbreaking when I know that he just doing story stuffs in SMT IV

So I guess the people theorizing that you transform into your Persona (me included) were pretty off. The series is going crazy, but not that crazy.

It'll have an ultimate/end-game version like Orpheus Telos and Izanagi-no-Okami, for sure. Beyond that, though, is debatable.

That's what the Compendium is for, no?
Hopefully we get to power up Personae like the bonus stats in Shuffle Time, I wanna keep this guy super strong until I get the ultimate version of him.

Arsene's design looks amazing. God, why can't this game out sooner.
The Compendium is good, but you basically toss aside old Persona for new ones.
I want to scale the levels of any Persona until the end of the game. Basically, less useless Persona.
Check Gematsu.
For all of it's balance shortcomings, Golden has a special place in my heart for letting me keep Izanagi up to date.

I don't mind using other personas until the end of the game.
I mean, it's not like SMT designs are bad...

I disagree, all of what we've got till now scream pride to me, not only the phantom seems extremely confident, his persona also represent a gentleman thief, that figure to me allways screamed "look how cool I am, I'm so much smarter than everyone else that it's impossible for me to get caught", they don't steal for an income, they steal for fun and to test themselves.
Also I don't really get how anything of all we've seen hints to wrath, the chains are probably going to be part of everyone's persona summoning animation, since we know the summoning sound reflect that.
The main hints were we associated the 7 sins was eye colors in the opening I believe. MC was red so wrath.

I felt the same way about Izanagi back in the day.
And yes, Arsene looks incredible. I cannot WAIT for this game.

Yeah, P4G's strongest addition.
Also, we see 4/20 in a new scan as the date. I guess 4/11 may not have been a placeholder date? Or maybe 4/20 is the actual date lol.
Totally a placeholder date for some events. It's not even the first day, as there is a screenshot of 4/7 with the MC standing in front of a train.
I mostly feel the same, Soejima can't design Persona/Bosses to save his life. They mostly look like stuff out of Digimon.

Aresene looks kinda bad. Too many elements, too many points and trails, it's way overdesigned. Looks like the chain thing attached to it is how they summon a persona. It sort of reminds me of P3
how Strega (and Shinjiro) had their personae forced out of them and had to use meds to control them. Maybe the personae in this game are hostile and the chain keeps them in check?
I think it looks fantastic, but I could do without the wings.
Izanagi still takes first place for me. Gang leader >>> Gentleman Thief, in my opinion.

Seen the images......HOLY FUCK
I change my mind....based Arsene. The game looks so gooood.

You are right in that Atlus are capable enough to have the characters be older. However they do what is not only relevant but mainly popular. Catherine was a great thing but the next big thing was still going to be teenagers in high-school .
Why not be patient for once? Their first big next gen game and people are disappointment it's not a far out mind-bending-earth-shattering-history defining thing already, one can be too much of a fan. They could still make games with older characters as mains. They can hopefully catch up now with all the ground work done. But that's for the future.
edit: Not directed at you but the people more disappointed with Atlus' first new big game.

That said, Morgana (the cat)'s are red too, so *shrug*.
I think it's Arsene's face that really screams Wrath over pride. The fire theme is one part, but another is the way it;s not a natural face, which emphasises the whole 'repression/facade' aspect of it. It's just a theory, though. Also it just looks so damn angry.
Agreed, his character designs are fantastic, bosses and demons the less said the better.

They're kind of like horns with pennants attached to them.

Arsene doesn't look anything like I had expected... but it still manages to look really cool.

The scans Gematsu posted (particularly the Arsene page) are awesome. Not just because HOLY FUCK YEAH TOP HAT AND FRILLS AND SHIT but also because I can see some spell effects in one of the in-battle images and my god, it looks glorious.
Despite my love for P3 and P4, I always thought the spell effects were too plain. Special things like Alice's Die for Me were amazing, but things like Agidyne just weren't that visually impressive.
I'm hoping the huge fire spell in that scan is Agilao or Agidyne. Looks so damn clean and flashy at the same time.
