Whoa.

If it's not fake, I think that's the trailer protag wearing a different get-up (not Sho). Wonder if the game has a Jekyll/Hyde type mechanic. Wimpy bookish dude by day, weird magician by night.

 

[Hot Coldman]

School kids by days, superheroes by night. Masked vigilantes of the shadow world, seeking a thrill from the mundane, oppressive slog of Japanese education.

I mean, that's what I'm guessing. Note the difference of expression between commuting MC and masked, ready-to-kick-ass MC. He's so into it.

 

[Setsu00]

Translation on that P5 ad?

"Preliminary notice: I will appear in the Nippon Budoukan tonight. - The Phantom"

after playing as a cool protagonist in yu, atlus decides to do a 180 and let players be Tuxedo Mask, a useless piece of shit

Well, Persona is basically all about the women nowadays, so that fits

 

[JNA]

woooooah

Crazy Theory:

Does anyone think that these teenagers will be wearing masks and be taking a different "persona" as a way to break free from society's shackles?

That would definitely fit the theme and would be very cool!

So the new Persona will be a toku show. Sounds great.

 

[Dragon1893]

I kinda feel for the guy. He's constantly getting shit for his dad's shop, his love interest turns out to have hated and used him but he can't shake the feelings he has for her, then she gets murdered! Sure, he has a certain naivety but he's always supportive, at least attempts to keep up a good mood and it's nice to see him yuck it up with Teddie later in the story.

I'm not saying he's a character with Oscar caliber writing, just a cool dude that's very likeable. At least to me.

Also, nurses.

Yup, he's also the biggest driving force in the IT until Naoto joins. People tend to overlook the fact that he's much smarter than Junpei.
Saying that he has less personality is completely ridiculous.

lol


Maybe we are the bad guys in this one? Like now we're the ones doing bad shit and fighting other persona users or some shit, idk.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I'm assuming something like that or Gatchaman, yeah.

Translation from Twitter:

The poster says "See the reveal at Nippon Budokan!"

Below it, on top of the logo, it says "Persona 5 Begins!"

HYPED!

Whoa.

It translates to "Tonight, I will appear at the Nippon Budokan! -The Phantom"

 

[Trigger]

Damn it, it's too early for me to get hyped. I hope that poster isn't fake.

T-that actually sounds fucking awesome.

 

[niahbvgpq]

"the phantom" like the phantom of the opera? maybe the game is related to theatre/opera? I don't know, like a school side-activity where the characters find that through acting they can be someone else than who they are in real life and they awaken their personas. Could explain the "free from shackles" thing Atlus anticipated

 

[injurai]

this is pretty torturous

 

[arue]

Look like Sho with Glasses-kun's hair.

This is super exciting. HYPE.

 

[Zalman]

"Night of the Phantom". It all makes sense now.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

"Preliminary notice: I will appear in the Nippon Budoukan tonight. - The Phantom"

The phantom? So he's basically Tu-

[Psycho_Mantis]

Persona 5 full reveal confirmed!!!!

Awww shit and I'm going to be in lecture when it happens.......god dammit.

 

[Gbraga]

I love Yu, but it's actually refreshing to see the protagonist with such an expression. We'll see.

Do you guys think we'll get a full blown several minutes gameplay video like the previous games or is Persona too mainstream for that now and we'll just get a dumb teaser that will ask us to wait for E3?

 

[Lunar15]

I still think it's a Phantom of the Opera reference more than anything.

However, the lettering reads like a ransom note, and the the theme song is "Take Your Heart", which could imply someone stealing your heart or you taking it back.

Actually, I'm getting more of a Joker vibe (Joker as in P2 Joker) from this. Looks antagonistic, but that definitely looks like the guy we saw in the first trailer.

Persona 5 full reveal confirmed!!!!

When are we expecting it to go down?

 

[Dragon1893]

Are we getting a glimpse at the bad guy in that poster?

Wait, people think that's the protagonist?

 

[sappyday]

Is there really a chance to get a full reveal?

 

[Steel]

Whoa.

EDIT: Translation:



At the bottom left: "Persona 5 begins"

Looks similar, but I could buy that it's the MC instead.

Not sure how I'd feel if sho was in Persona 5. On the one hand, his motivations and emoness in P4A2 were absolutely trash, on the other hand I actually didn't hate his personality.

 

[convo]

looks like main dude but with a mask. We are gonna summon shit with masks now bitches.

 

[Gbraga]

This time, you play as the killer

so does that mean yukari will be coming back or what

I'm not really sure what to think about this...

Why would she be back?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I think thats the MC.

omg

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Persona 2 vibes keep increasing on this game. Strange.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

after playing as a cool protagonist in yu, atlus decides to do a 180 and let players be Tuxedo Mask, a useless piece of shit

Then the final boss fight has Yu turn up in a sailor moon costume and defeat the enemy single handedly after your party loses.

Why would she be back?

She plays a toku-sentai character in Phoenix Ranger Featherman on TV as of persona 4 ultimate, so a cameo wouldn't be a surprise.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Kind of seems like a Phantom Thief's calling card.
Like Mask DeMasque or something

 

[Andrefpvs]

Wait a minute.

...

Naaaaaah

 

[Tevos]

Why would she be back?

She plays a Power Ranger in a TV show now, does she not? I was making a joke because the whole mask/superhero at night thing

 

[Rurunaki]

I think thats the MC.

Upcoming Tokyo University Student by Day.. Sexual offender by Night..

 

[Dragon1893]

Stop with this Sho nonsenense.

And why are people assuming that's the MC if it doesn't look anything like him?

 

[Mister_Ruck]

Wrong color eyes to be Sho but Atlus doesn't seem to give a shit about continuity in stuff like that anyway so who knows

 

[wmlk]

Stop with this Sho nonsenense.

And why are people assuming that's the MC if it doesn't look anything like him?

Because it looks exactly like him.

 

[Zalman]

I was expecting something more similar to Persona 4 in tone given its success. Might be a little too early to judge it though. Excited for tomorrow.

 

[squadr0n]

So ive been asleep since the conference began, I work nights ;( Did I miss anything Persona 5 related or anything super special?

 

[Steel]

Stop with this Sho nonsenense.

And why are people assuming that's the MC if it doesn't look anything like him?

The hair.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

So excited!

 

[Trigger]

Isn't his hair a different color from Potter-kun? Maybe they're going for a Clark Kent/Superman kinda theme with his initial appearance.

 

[Hot Coldman]

SPOILERS: this game will feature none of the cast of P3/4 except probably Igor and maybe a cameo from an S.Link character

 

[wmlk]

Isn't his hair a different color from Potter-kun? Maybe they're going for a Clark Kent/Superman kinda theme with his initial appearance.

That's just Soejima art with harsh colours. The hair is just a hue of red, makes sense since the colour of this game is red.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I hope we get to plan heists or something.
