+ The protagonist is a second-year high school student (the new kid in town, may or may not be a thief)
+ Social links are in (in some form)
+ Not all dungeons are randomly generated (but some probably are)
+ Starts in Shibuya, set in other Tokyo locations as well (Almost certainly a beach at some point)
+ Problems will be solved (but some probably won't be ... at least without a guide)

+ The cat thing Morgana can transform (perhaps into another cat)
+ Turn based battles, but with some differences (and the guns are not really guns, just things that look like guns and shoot)
+ Cutscenes are by Production I.G. (Ghost in the shell)
+ Everybody has problems

 

[jiggles]

+ Social links are in

And there it is

 

[YianGaruga]

Can't handle all that information

 

[AzureSkies]

+ Social links are in

 

[Sheroking]

And there it is

Was there a debate about it not being in? Seems kind of central to Persona.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Problems will be solved = funkystudent final boss

 

[WrenchNinja]

+ Problems will be solved

You don't say

I wish I lived in a coffee shop

There were plenty of people who believed that a series that got popular on social links, has a few anime series resolving around the characters and their social interactions and had a massive trailer reveal at a rock concert would not have social links.

I think it makes sense that it has social links.

People were stupidly freaking out when they saw cooperation in the menu

There was no Social Links option on the menus in the trailer, and people assumed the worst.

"The protagonist is a second-year high school student, who transfers to the city during the spring"

So original.

Anyway, the protagonist' first persona is Arsene, as in Arsene Lupin. Cool.

well, I guess that's that.

 

[Mailbox]

So the velvet room really is a prison, then?

All for that!

Also, yay for social links. Hopefully they are well integrated to the story/ gameplay like Marie's was (though hopefully more interesting)

 

[Stereogatari]

Arsene?

 

[duckroll]

Reposting what I said in the other thread:

Hashino doesn't appear to have said that there are no random dungeons in the game, only that the dungeon we saw in the PV is not randomly generated. He also mentions that they will offer a variety of settings and gimmicks in the game to present situations where the players have to overcome challenges like a phantom thief would.

That suggests to me that the story dungeons will be more about fun puzzle-ish scenarios than tough-as-nails dungeon crawling.

Also, Hashino didn't say that Social Links are in Persona 5, but he implied that there would be a similar sort of system.

There's a .moe TLD? Holy crap

 

[Moonlight]

Was hoping for more details on the systems, but oh well. Arsene is an awesome idea for a Persona, though.

EDIT: Oh, also, can we talk about how amazing the cover art is?

 

[jamsy]

I just hope that there are zero random dungeons in this. They were the fucking worst in P3 and P4.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Arsene?

Wenger is the gift that keeps on giving

this is just part of the magazine info leak. I think the full magazine info will have more stuff.

 

[Stone Ocean]

So either Cooperation = Social Links or we're getting a separate menu for those, neat. Also boo, we're a transfer student again.

In previous titles, the Persona summoning scene had the Japanese onomatopoeia of “カッ” (kka) which is something often used to depict a flash or clicking sound. In Persona 5, it’s “ブチッ” (buchi) which is a snapping sound (either physically or mentally).

The most important info right here

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Also, Hashino didn't say that Social Links are in Persona 5, but he implied that there would be a similar sort of system.

Yeah I was gonna say. He says something like the S.Link system will be present. Expect some kind of change.

Do you really want to lose at the end of every dungeon that badly?

When the trailer come out, i speculated that Arsene is one of his companion persona. Close enough i guess

"Wow... Then that settles it."

 

[Jimmyfenix]

duckroll pls

 

[Cipher Cat]

+ The protagonist is a second-year high school student

So we are finally not anymore the new kid in town, right?

 

[Kuraudo]

Ugh, not another game where problems are solved. Can't developers come up with something a bit more original?

 

[Stereogatari]

He'll reach the 4th last dungeon at least.

 

[duckroll]

Still a transfer student. It'll never change. Lol.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Important Part:

The game starts out in Shibuya, but the stage is set in various parts of Tokyo.

Goodbye the boonies.

 

[Dark_castle]

+ Not all dungeons are randomly generated

That's good. Please have as little randomly generated ones as possible.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

That's just mean

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Shibuya? Thank God.

Lupin is the correct answer.

The protagonist seemed like he was out of place in the teaser. Hard to say, though. Certainly possible!

 

[Cipher Cat]

And here I actually thought Atlus would do something different..

They played me like a damn fiddle.

 

[Nibel]

Possible TWEWY crossover action?

 

[raven777]

I like the suffering

I guess it is the easy way around the "Hi my name is ... what is your name?" introduction sequences.

Look on the bright side, think of all the possible "here in the big city is different" banter we might get!

 

[Dragon1893]

Was hoping for more. S-links being in really isn't news.

 

[TimorousPanda]

I'm so excited. I'll probably post about my excitement in every Persona 5 thread.

So excited.

 

[adamsapple]

Can't say i am surprised at any of those bullet points.

Right down to you being the 'new-kid' are exactly what defines the (newer) Persona games
