Persona 5 - PV 04 [New Trailer]

giphy.gif
 
I'm at a loss for words...Everything just looks so good, it's actually a bit unreal. My most anticipated game for 2016 by far.

Still need to get a PS4 first, though. RIP wallet
 
1. Hero (Joker)
2. Ryuji Sakamoto (Skull)
3. Ann Takamaki (Queen)
4. Morgana (Panther)
5. Yusuke Kitagawa (Inari)
6. Sakura Futaba
7. Biker Girl (Noir?)
8. Adieu Girl
9. That Other Girl
10. That Other Guy

Whose the other girl if you don't mind answering. I'm presuming Sakura is the infer girl hacker.
 
Holy...

That was really good, worth making lots of .gif files good.

Can't identify with the main character really since I'm not Japanese, but I don't need to identify with a character to have fun or get engrossed in the story. This is going to be good.

Did I mention good?

Wait, who was That Other Girl?

Just know of 9 from the box art, I don't remember a 10th.

Wait, I thought the last main character was a guy. How do we know it's a girl?

Ohh, wait, did I mess up? Sakura Futaba is the hacker girl, right?

Edit: I got it, I separated "That Other Girl" with "Adieu Girl," when they're one in the same.
 
Fuck this trailer, I'm sick and got over excited when I shouldn't and now I'm coughing my guts out.

But it was worth it, hype!
 
Yeah. I'm also pretty sure there explicitly 9 party members. 4 girls + 4 guys + animal, just like P3
Shinji is only in the party for like a month so he doesnt count
 
Are Ryuuji and Ann a couple?
It would be cool for once to have an estabilished romance outside of the MC.

Of course not. How could you wife her during the game if that was the case? More likely they might have some hints to implied potential of pairings like Naoto and Kanji
 
I think you got an extra girl slot. Think we only have one unannounced male left.

Yeah, I didn't look at the trailer closely enough, though I'm also caught off-guard by how different her demeanor is when she's in Thief mode. I like that it's the case for the whole cast.
 
You can't really get the full picture without understanding the dialogue in the trailer. It's going to take a while for the 4th trailer to be translated, but I believe there are subs for the 3rd trailer somewhere.

I do understand Japanese.

I feel like people are being too harsh on you. You're right, trailers are suppose to be flashy and I feel like this trailer showed more of the flash that goes with Persona and less of the somber allegory on life that Persona is known for.

I just watched trailer 3 (I never saw it before), and it definitely seems to be Persona. I think a big thing here is now I'm in my 30's and don't find the story appealing or resonant in any way due to my age. I just don't connect to it anymore. Persona 2:EP came out when I was 15 and Persona 3 came out when I was 21 so I was a good age for them. It's probably because my tastes and myself have grown. But the third trailer is definitely Persona. I'm just at a point in my life where I don't find a story like that appealing anymore, I guess.

They said they're changing up the social links this time. What if you can't get into a romantic relationship with every girl in the game? What if you can't get into a romantic relationship with any of the girls in the game?
 
So never played a Persona game before. Where should I start? (note, I don't have a vita)

Wait for Persona 5.

If you like that get a vita, download all the personas and play them in reverse order. It's what I did after Persona 4 Golden :P
 
Well, trailers by their very nature are supposed to draw people in and provide a basic template of what they're trying to go for. I just watched it with sound on, and it's still not doing it. It's not a complete judgement on the final product of the game, but providing a core idea of the themes and artistic intent is pretty much a trailers job - to give a hint of substance.

Maybe... It's just not for you?

As was touched there's an imprisonment metaphor that should be a motif throughout the game.





By the way, there's now 9 party members and front the first trailer, 9 sins
 
Of course not. How could you wife her during the game if that was the case? More likely they might have some hints to implied potential of pairings like Naoto and Kanji

Yeah that's what i was thinking, mine is more wishful thinking that they drop the obligatory romance for at least one of the girls in favor of a more interesting group dynamic.
Also, since we're talking about relationships, it would be cool if this time you're actually committed to a girl and the rest of the cast acknowledges it.
 
I guess that's what I'm trying to articulate. It just looks really stylish to me, and I'm not seeing anything here that stands out from P3/4 or what I like in Persona. I'm seeing a lot of glitz and style, but not much substance. Maybe it's because they're trailers that I feel this way. But then I watch the SMT4: F trailers and I'm like "strap in." I'm not getting the same feeling from P5.



Do you mind telling us how? I'd like to know your viewpoint on this.

Well, at first the returns of demons was a first hint, but later some characters (well, Anne and Yosuke) reminded me so much to past characters. Now it can be confirmed that some battle elements, like guns and the elemental attacks like nuclear or gravity, are back.

The settings, even to be on Tokyo, seems a bit eccentric, and the PS1's Persona games were very weird. The dungeons are a reflect from this, are (or kinda like) based on real places but with a twist on them, and it seems there are real people inside of them, so it's not a "secret" world only known to the party (and their enemies).

Now I know the name of the persona from megame girl and its appearance, I suspect something, but it can be only a selfish wish. Maybe it's nothing, but it's still an unprecedented on this series.
 
They said they're changing up the social links this time. What if you can't get into a romantic relationship with every girl in the game? What if you can't get into a romantic relationship with any of the girls in the game?

What if the Social links were between other party members rather than MC everything?
 
Alotta shit happening in this trailer, confused me alittle, never played Persona

The reveal trailer was enough to sell me tho so I'll probably avoid these from now on
 
My god, this game looks stylish as hell.

P4G didn't really grab me - and I'm not sure why - but I'm cautiously optimistic about this. I might grab P4G again when it's on sale (always?) to see if it does.
 
What if the Social links were between other party members rather than MC everything?

Obviously still want MC social links with people, but character linking with each other would be awesome and probably provide a new interesting dynamic to the situation may be weird to do considering you only follow the protag.
 
Persona isn't for you? Kthxbai. Now I know how diehard Souls fans feel.

I want that Collector's Edition, baby!!!
 
This year, Atlus. I need it this year. Please.

That launch date is dangerously close to FFXV though. I'm gonna be pretty interested in the Media Create threads in September, lol.
