We think
I think Morgana is quite literally their take on Morgan Le Fay.
She had nine sisters (so a cat makes some sense, symbolically) and many lovers (there's luxuria for you).
To start I bet she'll be a able to go between normal cat form and the Teddie-ish form, but evebtually shell gain the humanoid form and go between that and being a normal cat. (Like Shouta said, cats can have bushy tails, too.)

Yeah, the interface and those dialogue cues are fine but I'm guessing minor characters/out of party social links won't be voiced. But hey, even if they were, they wouldn't refer to you directly by your own name, so anything voiced would just be replaced by "him" or "them" or something. It'd be pretty simple to voice everything if they wanted to do that.
I would legitimately bet money on Morgana not having a human form. The pragmatic intention of giving Teddie a human form was to allow him to participate in real-world activities without attracting attention. A stealth mode, essentially. Morgana already has that in her cat form, plus she's always hiding out in the MC's bag. I also think giving a character three different transformations would just be too much in general. I'd expect the team to restrain themselves in that way.

I don't know, I really like the artwork for those characters. I don't think they look like 'zombies', they're just in a neutral emotive state. He also tends to draw big eyes that can appear kind of leering. But as Palculator said, it's a subjective thing.
Yeah, agreed. Although Kaneko could help with the costume design; he always does a great job on character outfits.

Also, since people are citing Teddie as precedent for a transforming animal themed character, we've already had a cat companion who didn't transform into a human at all: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Gouto-Douji
Good point well made. I guess coming from P4G I fell into the Teddie trap but when you put it like that you certainly make a great case for a transformation not happening.
I could easily imagine a run down apartment with mostly absentee parents fitting the themes of this game.
EDIT: Or, on the opposite spectrum, extremely strict parents would be quite fitting as well.
Oh, dear. I am glad that was mostly a thing with some of his P3 designs. Yukari, Junpei and Aigis especially, when they wear clothes without collars.
You live with your uncle who's a detective.

Kaneko's P2 designs are in his transistion from the sprite & manga shading of the 8 & 16-bit era to the 3D and matte shading of the PS2 -> era.

Hah, there'll be some high tension high risk dinner conversations to be had, then.
I like it.
Yeah I could also see them in a dorm again if they are actually at a school for delinquents though this time more regimented and strict.
he also has a neice named Nana- i mean Hanako.
No way, that has been done before. It is your aunt who's a detective.
God, the necks. Once I actually noticed how massive Junpei's neck was I could never unsee it.
Aigis is the same in her summer outfit at the pier but I can't find a screenshot of that.
I'm expecting the inverse of this. The humanoid form makes her more useful/better equity for the heist/dungeon portions. The prior game gets phased out altogether.
Both takes are equally plausible.
an apartment downtown with a roommate or two
Uhh...
Well, at least we know what P4 cameo we are getting.
she's also a romance S. Link

You know what you have to do now, don't you?
Plot twist... She's the one in fox/tanuki getup. Whatever method Morgana uses to transform is used to make her thin and athletic for dungeon crawling.
I guarantee you someone on that team wishes they had waited, haha.

I just wish we could get another Kaneko Persona game even if Soejima did the in-game art again just for the Persona designs alone

Anyone going to replay 3 and 4 soon? Going to try 3 in the PCSX2 emulator.
Did Devil Summoner have an s-link/dating system?

I'm playing through P2:IS right now and it's pretty awesome! Though I'm only like 5h in so I don't know that much about Philemon yet.
Also, these guys didn't mess around back then concerning game design. The velvet room just exists in that game as kind of a shop, and none of the characters even tell you about it! It's amazing that it's kind of "missable", at least for the first few dungeons/bosses.
Yep! I finished up P4G in January and gonna try a complete run of P3P this month.
That's true, his designs are really fitting for Nocturne.
I think my main problem is not his character design per se, but rather his official artwork, because they all look kinda dead and have these creepy eyes.
E.g. Lisa has a great design and looks awesome ingame, but what's up with her official artworks?
Compare this
with these:
The same with Maya, who looks like a zombie in the official artwork, but great ingame:
Have you seen the official artwork for P2:IS (PSP version)?
Much better

Nah, not with characters, anyway. Your demons had a level of loyality that went up as you used them, but it's not really comparable to S-Links.
Yea and also now I wouldn't mind a diverse cast in future installments.
Like I want a black charater in their so I can freaking Cosplay sometimes lol
So no obligation to make characters friendable in gameplay.
Hmm, is this real?
In vanilla P4 Yosuke had a slightly shorter neck (or is it because of the hair?):
Kanji's was also perfectly fine:
Yeah, those are not drawn by Kaneko, though.
You can always recognize Kaneko's drawings by the eyes and the dark lips.
That was by Masuyaki Doi. His designs for SMT4 and the Trauma series are fantastic.

Oh, I didn't pay attention to the post your quoting. I didn't realize you were trying to make a point.
Actually, they were drawn by Soejima. Doi was responsible for the Persona 2: Eternal Punishment designs. Note the difference between Maya (IS) and Maya (EP)
