Nah, there's already speculation that we've seen them already.

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.
I really like her expression in that scene, and would be great if she is more than she appears at first. Like super fun or something, but right now im basing her in the majority of anime co leading female characters, where I usually prefer secondaries because they have more fun quirks.

Baseless fan theory, sure, and of course it's not true. Stupid? Well that's uncalled for, I thought it would have been cute. No need to call people names.

Yeah. That guy ryuji slept next to on that plane.

Yup! I personally agree with it too, since we've seen that character in other PVs as well, I believe

It's the guy that's on the train in PV#3 and the one sitting next to Ryuji in PV#4.
Judging by appearance, it doesn't look masculine or feminine.

It's not impossible, but I wouldn't bet on it. It's probably just some random class mate we see regularly. His behavior doesn't seem very Morgana-like.

I think he's just some lame social link NPC at most, like Kenji in P3.
If Morgana has a human form I think he/she has a groovy personality, or then he/she is simply a cat.
The guy in trailers is like the most vanilla person there is.
Morganas human form is just Funky Student.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Haru Okumura (奥村春(voiced by Haruka Tomatsu)
Her starting Persona is Milady.

afaik it's bannable in OTs.

Makoto all the way. Wonder if whatever form "cooperation" takes, like Persona 3 and 4, we'll have 2 or so other girls that we can romance that aren't in our party.

Interesting how they are using completely different tropey females this time and there is no Rise, Chie or Yuki clones..

Anne is still the best waifu. That catsuit.

Why does this series keep using high school students? I grew out of the high school phase after I graduated high school. That's probably why I still prefer Persona 2's characters over the others; they're more relatable as adults doing adult stuff. It'd be cool to see a future Persona use young adults again.

Yep, I thought the priestess arcana sealed the deal.

Most party members in Persona 2 IS were high school students.

For now yes, but need to play game for final choice, you know we can only together with one waifu, so need to be carefull.

Unfortunately our series don't always grow with us, target audience is what it is.
I've been in work life for over 10 years and still ok with high school, though.

Persona wouldn't be what it is now, if it wasn't for the waifu(wars).

Make it it's own OT, lock them inside and throw away the key. Don't Dead Open Inside!
I'd be cool with a college campus setting, but I do enjoy the daily activities, tests, general social setting, etc of a school. I think it lends itself better to the social link concept.
But she is a normal cat in the human world,i doubt she has another form.

Pfft! Anne is best girl.
Makoto and Haru are really cool as well though...

It turns out, there are other people in high school right now.
right
now!
Joking aside, this sort of setting will always have an audience. I can't imagine them moving away from it any time soon, especially with the general fondness for youth and school years in Japan. But who knows?

People called Romanes they go the house?
I'm somewhat curious if the Milady is an obvious tell to the 'betrayal'/getting caught situation that the protagonist finds himself in with the police/the enemy group (who make reference to knowing about the new variant of the shadow realm), but that almost seems like too obvious a tell.
Have to wait and see, I suppose.

I think I'm liking Makato the most out of characters in the OP. Where is the info on the new brown haired guy though?
But will they be allowed in the LTTP and RTTP down the line?

Romancing Makoto first.
I hope they reveal male characters, too. This makes the party seem like a harem.

Praise the motherfucking sun.
Until these three were revealed there were three dudes and only one girl (and a cat). And there is a fourth dude who hasn't been shown off yet, except on the box art and the odd promo pic here and there.
So, 4/4 gender split, not counting the cat.

There's 4 boys, 4 girls, and one unconfirmed gender. It's fine.

Way to nip it in the butt now. Lol. Someone needs to just create a separate "P5 Social Links" discussion thread..

I've been super busy and am not up to date with Persona news but can't recall if there was a thread about new guy characters. All I remember from old trailers is Ryuji.
