All three look great. They sound cooler than the leading girl.

 

[Deft Beck]

Morgana's not looking too great...

 

[WrenchNinja]

So three dudes, four dudettes and a cat

 

[Guess Who]

So three dudes, four dudettes and a cat

There's a fourth dude who's been shown on the box art and some other promo stuff that they haven't properly revealed yet.

 

[ULTROS!]

Copying my post from the trailer thread, about Makoto's persona (Johanna):



I'm bouncing between this and the community thread, but I'm 99,9% sure this is the right answer.

Makotos' collar says BJ which appears in the priestess arcana / tarot card.

Could also be Joan of Arc.

dat smirk.

M'Persona

 

[Hikami]

Nice to finally know their names. Makoto seems pretty cool.

 

[raven777]

Haru is
-older than protagonist
-elegant and naive at the same time
-has good communication skills
-rich
-has time to drink tea during battle

 

[DrArchon]

Futaba's persona better be covered in fucking horrible tentacles and weird shit like that. It's the fucking Necronomicon, it deserves it.

Biker chick looks cool too. Reminds me of that girl from Rival Schools.

 

[Eumi]

So apparently I'm the novel Milady seduces the lover of Queen Anne.

Isn't Ann the name of the blonde girl? Could we have conflict?

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Haru is
-older than protagonist
-elegant and naive at the same time
-has good communication skills
-rich
-has time to drink tea during battle

This is why she's the best.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Futaba or Haru right now, depending their personalities in the events ingame.

Haru has the upper hand right now becuase I really like her design in and out of battle. And I dont actually like meganekkos in animes, but the smirk Futaba has in some scenes makes it seem a little bit more funny, actiony and interisting.

All three look great. They sound cooler than the leading girl.

Isnt the leading girl the inferior girl of Persona 3 and 4 also.
Yukari is super bland, and even if P4 hasnt got that really leading girl aspect to it, because each girl has nearly the same amount of importance (and Chie and Yukiko being friend for the start), Yukiko could be seen as the normal girl out of the group, typical of some animes. In fact, that doesnt happen only in Persona. The most boring female characters in animes, when theres a group of girls, is the majority of the times, the leading girl. Even happens in Mass Effect with the boring ass human female.
Quirks that people like are usually left to the side characters, that are usually less important to the story, but also have usually bigger fanbases.

 

[Korigama]

Hm, I prefer Makoto and Haru specifically (don't dislike Futaba, but not as keen on the meganekko types as many seem to be). Wouldn't rank An (or however they romanize her name) above or below those two at this point.

 

[Zombegoast]

They split Mitsuru into two characters with Makoto and Haru.

 

[artsi]

Could also be Joan of Arc.

Not that it's impossible, but she does already have presence in the SMT universe.

[NotLiquid]

As if Futaba wasn't already best girl, her Persona is the Necronomicon.

Mother fucker.

 

[McBradders]

Haru is
-older than protagonist
-elegant and naive at the same time
-has good communication skills
-rich
-has time to drink tea during battle

This fucking game. Holy shit.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Glad to have some names for them. The details for Haru just further cement her as being the best.

I'm fairly sure she's supposed to be (the original) Johanna Dark, from Brecht's Play, Saint Joan of the Stockyard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joan_of_the_Stockyards

The character is based symbolically on Joan of Arc, though. She could also draw off Brecht's depiction of Joan in another play, The Visions of Simone Machard. Either way, I think a literary or fictional origin is more likely than her being de-facto Pope Joan (although these figures often blur symbolically together).

 

[Menitta]

I'm still gonna call her "Biker-chan" and "Hacker-chan"

 

[kenji_sama]

I'm still gonna call her "Biker-chan" and "Hacker-chan"

Me too, and Tea-chan as well

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Sooooooo Harus ultimate attack is to tip a fedora?

 

[Salty Rice]

Biker-chan is the real waifu.

Musketeer-chan is cool.

Hacker-chan belongs in the trash.

 

[mrmickfran]

Nice to see that we have senpais this time.

 

[Lunar15]

I kind of like the idea of them recruiting a straight-laced goodie-two-shoes into their band of thieves.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Hacker-chan belongs in the trash.

Thank you.

 

[KraytarJ]

Hacker-chan belongs in the trash.

You monster

 

[labx]

There is a hole in my heart where P5 used to be.

 

[striferser]

I can't wait to see others character special finisher just like Milady

 

[Jameson]

Nothing changed for me, Anne still has my best girl award.

 

[Lusankya]

All three look great. They sound cooler than the leading girl.

Isnt the leading girl the inferior girl of Persona 3 and 4 also.

Hey, Anne is great.

Love how she is super relaxed during the beach scene. I am pretty sure once the game is out people will recognize how cool Anne is.

This makes sense too. About the subject of the play, and how Makoto seems to hate "dirty money" in the trailer, etc.

Anne has no cake tho.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Milady.

 

[SliceSabre]

I am sad Futaba is merely the Support, still love the design though.

 

[ChasingComets]

Biker chick looks cool too. Reminds me of that girl from Rival Schools.

It's the UFO in the trailer.

 

[Hektor]

My favorite thing about Persona threads is people judging characters based on their appearance.

With "rumor" you mean "stupid and baseless fan theory"?
It's obviously not true.

 

[Innolis]
