I still can't get over that stupid blonde bowl cut. We had two pretty great MCs with P4 & 5 and now back to scrubs again!

At least the release isn't too far into the future (if they don't push it back). I expected 2028.

Have we ever considered that those leaked headshots were prototype / tentative designs?

Is Persona considered one of the JRPG behemoths of today?

No

Of course, but where is the fun in that!?

1st point: It's a weird take being upset that your characters use magic to become superheroes in a game where it's clear you're supposed to play as superheroes.
2nd point: I have many problems with Persona 5, and it's not that it's simplistic. The first part of the game does a good job capturing what it feels like growing up in a world fucked up by those who have already come before. Hell, I'm pushing 40, and I wouldn't trust anyone my age. Screw them. Er, I mean, us.

1)) as mentioned, think of the previous games' casts. you can play as superheroes while still looking/behaving like high schoolers. that was the basis for the inherent charm of those games...

2) what it feels like? yes. what it actually is? not so much. we all eventually grow up, & it turns out that maybe it wasn't all quite as simple as we supposed? in p5, tho, it turns out that it really is that simple, & high schoolers have all the answers. aka 'self-indulgence'...
