It's the spiral on the back. Maybe "awkward" is the wrong word to use. I dunno, it just looks like a Decepticon to me.

How about this guy then?

 

[Stone Ocean]

What? I don't see anything awkward with the design.

In fact it's really legit especially since it's going for the savior look.

I really dislike it because of whatever that thing behind it's back is supposed to be.

Makes the Persona look like a F-22

Sure. To me Thanatos is the undisputed champion in terms of P3 Persona designs.

I'm on the same boat.

 

[Trojita]

The magazine confirms that the trailer and the screenshots are from the PS3 version, if anyone is interested.

So it should look even better with the PS4 version :O

 

[Stone Ocean]

I really don't get what people like about Thanatos. I like the coffin-wings but that's about it.

 

[sjack]

I like it because it's basically a berserk Unit 1 with wings made out of coffins.

It's supposed to symbolize the Messiah

Spoiler

dying for everyone's sin, just like Makoto dying for everyone. Since the messiah's purpose is to be a savior that thing on his back is supposed to imply that he's looking down on everyone as their savior.

I really don't get what people like about Thanatos. I like the coffin-wings but that's about it.

Because it gives of a badass death vibe. I mean when he was first summoned he looked out of this world and just had amazing style.

I like it because of the sword...and the chains and coffin wings and the black coat..

Oh come on he looks cool as f*ck!

Well yeah, he's no Polydeuces, I just don't think he looks anything special.

I can understand that, but, I mean, it's not like he's jumping around all over the place with that thing on his back. He's pretty immobile.

 

[Axelstream]

Made a wallpaper for myself out of Bunta's cleanup job, if anyone would like to use it! It's 1280 x 800.

That's a sword.

Well, it looks like one to me.

The trailer gives one of the days as 4/11 Monday
The scan image moon jump gives the day as 4/20 Wednesday

This could likely mean that the game is set during 2011 or 2016.

I'm sure others years could be applicable, but I'm willing to guess that P5 will be set during 2016.

Does anyone know what years P3/P4/spinoffs are set in for comparison?

EDIT: Thank you FluxWaveZ (likely 2016 then)

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Does anyone know what years P3/P4/spinoffs are set in for comparison?

All spin-offs are canonical.

P3 = 2009
P4 = 2011
PQ = 2009 + 2011
P4A = 2012
P4AU = 2012
P4D = 2012

Why does Atlus hate Europe? :/

Nice. I attempted making mine wallpaper friendly. I also tried drawing the rest of his body and changed the resolution to 1920x1080 since it didn't fit well on my monitor.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Persona Q launched in Europe 3 days after the NA release, and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax was two months.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Persona Q launched in Europe 3 days after the NA release, and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax was two months.

But P5 is not even confirmed yet to release in EU land right?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

But P5 is not even confirmed yet to release in EU land right?

Yeah, but neither were Persona Q or P4AU for a while. We don't even have release dates for P4D or P5 in NA, so I don't think it's something to be alarmed by.

 

[jgminto]

Arsene looks great, love the black wings.

We also have April 7th as a Tuesday in one of the scans, which would be 2015. Maybe they started moving it to 2016?

EDIT: Nevermind. Read Thursday as Tuesday, my bad.

 

[UltraGunner]

The cravat and tophat really ties Arsene's look together. a mixture of classiness and horror.

Awesome, added these to my folder, I did a quick thing too, unfortunately this is the best resolution I could get on it(1536x864):

 

[Gbraga]

Can I dream of a 60fps PS4 version....I mean what else are they going to improve on the PS4?

YES WE CAN.

I wasn't really expecting it, but if it looked that good on PS3, I feel more confident now!

 

[Laughing Banana]

I blame your avatar.

Hey leave the banana man out of this

Yes

It'll take way more than Persona 4's low brow fan-service scenes to do the job

Hey, I don't care how you get your rocks off. Let's call a spade s spade though; Waifu talk is definitely lowest common denominator. It's baseline objection of a female character by sexist Neanderthals.

If you want to sing actual praises of a character than do that. By all means, more power to you. Waifu talk is junk though; Implying of arguing it's anything but that or has any kind of merit is silly. As stated, it just detracts from actual discussion and at lest for me, I really think Atlus deserves more than that. They give these characters a heart and soul and they have a depth to them that make them genuinely interesting and compelling.

I guess when I imagine the word "waifu talk" I am basically picturing people just having a little bit of fun here and there, like laughing and joking around. I guess I also imagine people saying stuff like, say, "I like Yukiko's S-Link more than Chie's and she's a better girl than Chie," which I personally view as harmless. I am just picturing that a red name stating that the "waifu" discussion will be wholesale banned will make people hesitate to post even light-hearted and fun stuff like that.

Anyways, the bolded above was precisely why I felt Persona 4's *double* bathing scenes were so disappointing and out of place. Since Persona 3 also featured such a cliche-ridden scene similar like that, let's see if Persona 5 continues the tradition, though it seems unlikely seeing the tone that we're seeing so far.

I really dislike it because of whatever that thing behind it's back is supposed to be.

Makes the Persona look like a F-22

That design actually seem a lot cooler than me than P4MC's ultimate Persona design, since the latter seemed like it's designed to conform to all the usual "cool-looking" stuff while this one actually looks both cool AND unique (and it fits the overall theme of the game AND the actions of the protagonist way better than P4).

Not sure if its been posted yet, but I found this album of textless P5 menus. Pretty cool.

Those "low-brow" scenes are just as prevelant in Persona 3.

MC blends in with the student crowd (with Clark Kent style fake glasses) while the other two scream attention towards themselves lol...

Wow, this really is Harry, Ron and Hermione now lol

Cannot unsee.

I picked up on the HP/MC vibe from the first trailer, but the trio comparison didn't hit me until you posted this.

Holy crap I just noticed that lol

[bwakh]

The point about every character having problems of their own makes me think of the Persona 3 and how every character has different problems. P3 takes time to flesh them out and solve them at different points in the game. A huge plus in my book.

 

[bwakh]

I've never even played a Persona game and I'm pretty hyped for this. Does Atlus seem pretty adamant this is US bound this year?

You should really play Persona 3 and 4. You will get a sense of the battle system and a couple of games on your top ten list.

 

[Qvoth]

finally saw the scans, gawddayum arsene is a beautiful persona

So we've gone from Buffy to Scooby-Doo to Harry Potter.

I hope Twilight isn't next.
