Why Robin Hood when she's clearly French? Way more likely to be a musketeer.

Also Fubata's persona is Necronomicon so being a thief isn't a requirement.

Pattern was always literary figures rather than theives anyways

 

[names2hard4you]

I need this game now. Good lord Almighty this looks glorious.

 

[Trago]

Please let the western release be 2016!

 

[HeelPower]

The game represents a massive visual leap from P3&4 days.Its ridiculous.

Devs deserve praise for that.The dungeons look infinitely more varied than ever as well.

 

[Lusankya]

Character designs look suprisingly weak and unappealing outside of the initial trio.

Which is a bit disappointing idk.

Seems like your personal problem.

 

[Shadow Broker]

OP should add the staff interview to the first post. It had a good bit of gameplay in it.

 

[Nachos]

First person I've ever seen say this game has terrible UI. Oh well. :\

I personally think it's gonna spoil UI design for every other video game from here on out for me. There's NOTHING that really looks like P5's graphic design out there.

To be fair, it's breaking a TON of guidelines, but since Atlus said that everything graphic design-wise is supposed to be bursting with energy, it's clearly deliberate. My only issue is that the English characters don't look nearly as good as the Japanese ones in some cases and that during some parts, the interface is full of different elements that might not need to be in the field UI. I'm just hoping Atlus USA picks a good typeface for the body text and doesn't go with just a plain sans-serif or use the English characters that might be in the Japanese font.

"Tsuu ka saa, nakama ga fuetan da ne?" commenting that they gained another party member, and Morgana says that she seems like she'd be useful, specifically saying probably more useful than whoever she's responding to (which in this case I'm pretty sure is Ryuuji, who she calls a punishment game monkey whose desires are always completely exposed).

Man, i'm so not yet ready to listen to JP audio at not perfect quality/with clean audio lol
Thanks alot again!

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

I'm tearing up T.T

Only 3 trailers have made me this emotional. This one, Final Fantasy 7 Remake reveal and the last Persona 5 trailer lol.

 

[rhandino]

How does UFO = thief?

They abduct people, animals, etc...

Would not be shocked if the UFO is related to Roswell.

 

[formasymphonic]

There's about to be a third faction to this after today's trailer

 

[pablito]

So did Morgana

Spoiler

get a human version a la Teddie? Or was that a new character?

And yeah, biker girl is dope.

 

[mollipen]

That new French girl is CLEARLY targeted toward female players who like a little waifu action of their own. I mean, clearly.

 

[NeoHorizon]

I'm really loving the new characters and their design especially the hacker and the french girl <3. Come on Atlus, western release in the same month please!

 

[kadotsu]

Did the original Igor VA die or is there some plot reason he turned into the Japanese version of Gerald Butler?

 

[DNAbro]

Did the original Igor VA die or is there some plot reason he turned into the Japanese version of Gerald Butler?

I'm pretty sure the original VA did die

 

[Evilkazzz]

There's about to be a third faction to this after today's trailer

There's not Velvet Room girls so I guess I'm not apart of this Civil War.
: )

 

[Stone Ocean]

Hacker girl is the best omg

 

[AmethystEnd]

Did the original Igor VA die or is there some plot reason he turned into the Japanese version of Gerald Butler?

Died back in 2010.

 

[Renpatsu]

To be fair, it's breaking a TON of guidelines, but since Atlus said that everything graphic design-wise is supposed to be bursting with energy, it's clearly deliberate.

Guidelines are just guidelines, I know that is a pretty trite statement to make but I thought I'd make it anyway.

It's pretty clear that their UI designers prioritized style over readability, but that's not necessarily a huge issue because the gameplay isn't (from what I can tell and based on previous games) that complex anyway. They have the leeway to go over the top with their UI and imbue it with tons of personality because it isn't going to hinder the minute to minute gameplay as much as an RTS or other UI heavy game.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Holy shit has this game got style, I really don't think it's an overestimation to say that this is Persona's perfect chance to become a big name RPG like Final Fantasy.

Red haired supporter girl is literally perfect, she's even voiced by Aoi Yuuki.

 

[Zolo]

Died back in 2010.

Yeah. They've been reusing his voice since then or replacing his role with the velvet assistants in media like the anime, arena, and Q.

 

[PlatypusDude]

Did the original Igor VA die or is there some plot reason he turned into the Japanese version of Gerald Butler?

Igor's previous VA's death is the reason why he hasn't had big roles in the spin-offs along with using archival recordings for his voice.

 

[Murder. She Wrote]

I don't understand, this game will clearly sell more copies in US/Europe than in Japan, yet they can't even release a subtitled version of the trailer?

 

[Ostinatto]

That new French girl is CLEARLY targeted toward female players who like a little waifu action of their own. I mean, clearly.

What is "little waifu action"? meaning?

 

[Galang]

There's about to be a third faction to this after today's trailer

Wait What is this?! And damn I hate fuuka, but everyone else <3

 

[JetSetRadio]

Looking good, I should start playing P4.

 

[Hentailover]

What is "little waifu action"?

Sit down son. It's time we have the "Birds and Bees" talk...

 

[Verder]

Guys this is def going to rank in the stylish department like jet set .

FUCKING SEGGGGGAAAAAAA

 

[Xyber]

Good trailer and all that, but the insane pop-in on the people when he was running around in the town annoyed me very much. I kinda hope it's PS3 footage and it's improved on PS4..

 

[NeoHorizon]

So I was thinking that they were looking at Megane here:

Hnnnng, why does megane girls always have to be the cutest.

Hacker girl is the best omg

Yeah! Good taste

 

[Amani]

The victory results screen.

Gifs are coming from the interview with Hashino, sorry I keep forgetting to link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4GDo3mvSZY

This is literally the perfect thing to wake up to.

In fact, can one of you fine people just tranquilize me until September? I don't think I can't take this anymore.

 

[Verder]

She's the best one!

What's her name tho?

She the Chie of persona 5 !

 

[nikos]

Looks incredible. Can't wait to finally play it.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Still no release date? This is absurd.

 

[_Final_Phoenix_]

Really hoping that our original Igor english voice will be back, instead of that woeful casting for ultimax. (As much as I like Vic, he makes for a bad Igor)

 

[nowai]

That UI is terrible. It's so chaotic and takes too much screen space. Every time the MC went past a character in the city, that stupid splotch of inky-text pops up.
Maybe they're going for the crazy and out-of-control visual to emphasize the wacky cast, I don't know, but it's much too busy for me.

Terrible UI?! Oh man, that's hands down one of the most impressive and exciting aspects of the game for me!

 

[Nachos]

Guidelines are just guidelines, I know that is a pretty trite statement to make but I thought I'd make it anyway.

It's pretty clear that their UI designers prioritized style over readability, but that's not necessarily a huge issue because the gameplay isn't (from what I can tell and based on previous games) that complex anyway.

You're right. I was just putting that out there as a possible criticism. I know at least one pro graphic designer on GAF who isn't too keen on it, either.

Still, I think the design's doing exactly what it set out to do. It's a mess, but a deliberate one. We don't need persistent reminders of the controls when on the field, though. They can apparently auto-hide, but I don't know what triggers it.

 

[SneakersSO]

I don't understand, this game will clearly sell more copies in US/Europe than in Japan, yet they can't even release a subtitled version of the trailer?

Considering its going to be at E3, I imagine the subbed/dubbed version of this trailer + its NA release date is intended to be released then. From a PR standpoint, it makes sense to save this stuff for an appropriately larger venue than to just push it out on a stream in the middle of the early morning.

 

[Philippo]

Are Ryuuji and Ann a couple?
It would be cool for once to have an estabilished romance outside of the MC.

 

[DNAbro]

Still no release date? This is absurd.

it's literally at the end of the trailer. 9/15

 

[Jotamide]

Don't understand what's being said but still looks mad lol. Need a version with English subs.

Hope it gets fan subbed in the next few days. Inb4 Atlus US subs the same trailer and passes it as new during this E3 lol.

 

[Acquiescence]

Who doesn't?

Come to England some time.

 

[Setsu00]

Still no release date? This is absurd.

September 15, 2016 for Japan.

 

[Ostinatto]

Sit down son. It's time we have the "Birds and Bees" talk...

My bad, i've read that as waifu action for little people or something like that.

 

[KZXcellent]

Still no release date? This is absurd.

You didn't watch the trailer? Now THAT's absurd.

 

[t26]

The game represents a massive visual leap from P3&4 days.Its ridiculous.

Devs deserve praise for that.The dungeons look infinitely more varied than ever as well.

Persona 4 was 8 years ago, which was using persona 3 engine which was 10 years ago

 

[ys45]

Holy s.... I should not have checked the trailer this look sssoooo good .
The wait for to play this

Spoiler

in 2017

is going to be hard -_-

 

[Aters]

So good. They really nailed those dungeons.

 

[djplaeskool]

Man.
This and FFXV coming out two weeks apart show just how imaginative and wildly diverse JRPGS can be.
I'm hype as fuck for both.
