welp
>The prologue consists of the hero confronting a man who harasses women, and subsequently being detained by the police because of the injuries he inflicts on that man. The hero is then sentenced to probation. He becomes a Phantom Thief afterwards to fight against that.
And people thought Potter was going to be edgy.
Reminder that Persona 4 is tumblr tier normie shit
>>337142789
>normie
And you're /r9k/ faggot shit.
>>337142856
Triggered Persona 4 hiimdaisy faggot spotted
>>337142648
>you will become a hero of justice
fuck yes
>>337142648
Still naming him ColdSteel Hedgeheg

>>337142924
>>337142648
>>337142648
Kill the few to save the many SEIGI NO MIKATA
>>337142648
It would be hilarious if the first scene in the opening is just Potter beating the shit out of the guy.
Oh boy, I can see the plethora of Haru fedora jokes already.
>>337142648
Potter-kun confirmed for fucking ruthless god damn
>>337142648
Splatoon-chan is best girl
>>337144398
>she's not a NEET
well i'll be damned
>Each persona is designed to embody an outlaw, reflecting characteristics of the Palace. The requirements for a persona to evolve are completely different from one another
Uhh thoughts on this,
>Makoto Niijima
THE NANAKO MEME IS OVER
>>337144450
Some may evolve by themselves, the others might need a push, others may be inspired by your actions
Kinda like P2
>>337144450
Some characters will likely evolve through their S.link equivalent and others will evolve through key points in the story or some sidequest stuff.
>>337142648
Where is the katata-kun gif? Potter is the vigilante hero we need.
Nothing on the social link system.
That is not looking good folks.
>Even though she is very elegant and good at communicating with others, she does not find value in human relations, and avoids having relationships with other people.
Haru just became a lot more appealing to me. I love a woman who's hard to get.
>>337144891
They confirmed that there will something similar way back when the game was first announced.
>>337144450
In Persona 4 pretty much everyone got their persona by accepting their inner self and then later upgraded it by being able to show that self to the outside world/combine in with their outer-self.
I imagine that in P5, the events in game won't be so formulaic.
>>337142648
>She is a first-year student in high school who has trouble communicating with others, however she becomes a shut-in after a certain incident.
So predictable that it's disgusting. Was hoping for something different.
>>337145002
"similar". And again, so far we haven't seen anything resembling a date or a hangout with people from the town. In any trailer or any interview.
>>337145145
What did you want?
>>337144971
>i love someone who won't value me
I'll never understand masochists
>Even though she is very elegant and good at communicating with others, she does not find value in human relations, and avoids having relationships with other people.
Atlus pls lemme cuddle French girl and have babies with her. pls.
Adieu-chan pls don't be lesbian.
>>337142648
Wow potter is a fucking savage.
>>337145004
They might change it up a bit 3 was story related, 4 is optional, 1-2 were do shit and fuse to get it, so 5 might be a mix up with 3-4
>>337142648
People are excited over this? Fucking fanbase is full of spergs.
I thought he would be an actual thief and commit "cool" crimes for him to end up in jail. Instead a fucking white knight.
Fuck Japan.
>>337145386
>Make her appreciate you.
>Be her special someone
>Loyal for the rest of her life.
That's why.
>>337145386
Just the opposite, my friend. The hard to get girl will be twice as loving when you finally conquer her. At least in anime land.
>>337145275
>What did you want?
The same thing these faggots always want. Someone who is in college or some shit that doesn't attend school.
>Persona 5 is slated to be released for the PS3 and PS4 in Japan on September 15, 2016, with a 2016 North American release date.
uh ok
>Palace represents the distorted minds of adults, and the goal of the heroes is to steal hidden “treasure” from the world in order to reform their targets.
interesting.
>>337145559
>he thinks it's that easy
poor anon, so naive
>>337145576
>finally conquer her
Yes, because you're such a charming individual
>>337142648
And there's a character called Milady. How fitting.
>>337145767
Now i can't unsee Potter-kun beating the shit out of the guy with a fedora
>>337145723
That's not what Anime taught me
>>337145723
>Explain the appeal.
>WOW UR NERDS.
Your friends must love talking with you.
>>337145767
It's a Persona not a character
>>337145723
Remember this is about 2D anon
>>337145979
>Implying he has friends.
>>337145979
>Explain the appeal.
I never asked you to, i only said i don't understand masochists who love people that will treat them like shit, the only thing i learned is that some of you have the childish wish to "be the one that changes her ways"
Yeah, Haru looks to be my first one to romance as well. Hopefully she isn't a shit in battle.
>>337144971
Sociopath >> neet
Queen is still the best.
>>337144450
Separate cutscenes of them all evolving in December as they give serious and lengthy consideration over the dumbest fucking shit
>>337146179
Based on what we've seen and heard so far, I agree. Makoto sounds like the standout girl, but Haru might still have a chance.
>>337146147
>>337146147
>"be the one that changes her ways"
That's how it works in animeland. 3DPD bitches also believe that.
Shit is gross.
I hope the World is at stake in the end
>>337146295
Makoto will be best girl. Any grill with resemblance to FeMC is going to be good.
>>337146319
>so desperate he resorts to memes
>>337141492
>Shadow has inhuman computing abilities, as a girl genius in programming capability. She is a first-year student in high school who has trouble communicating with others, however she becomes a shut-in after a certain incident.
>>337142648
Thanks Anita
>>337145503
>high schooler does justice by himself
>ends up in jail
>become a thief
How can you not be hyped for a real human been and a real hero ?
>>337146370I don't
>>337141492
>No info on the last male faggot
Betrayer confirmed.
>>337141492
So it looks like after the first couple of dungeons Makoto catches on and tries to investigate, which probably leads to her getting involved in a dungeon where she gets her Persona and joins the crew.
The girls sound boring
Watch this guy be the best character
>>337146427
Desperate? There's no argument to be won. You posted your opinion with no interest in being challenged at all and when someone did you immediately deflected as hard as you could.
>>337142648
>he's a vigilante
I'm a bit disappointed. I was hoping he would be just a thief that pulled cool heists.
>>337146543
They're saving him for E3
>>337145176
Good. Less dating sim, more battling hordes of monsters in twisted environments.
>>337146662
so you're just gonna post the ebin hat man, got it
>>337146628
Best outfit at least
>>337146460
>thanks anita
You kidding? Having a guy defending a woman is exactly what she wouldn't want in a game.
>>337146628
I think you're just a fujoshit who was gonna say that about any female characters
>>337144971
>I love a woman who's hard to get
Isn't that every woman in your case?
>>337146551
>Makoto bullying Potter thinking he is delinquent
>Potter won't stop running in the hallway
>>337146905
shieeeeeeeet
>>337146460
Actually a man defending a woman being harassed is anti feminism and a sign of patriarchy.
>>337145176
The staff really haven't said much about the gameplay systems in general. Whatever we do know was picked up from PVs and the little bit of information that the magazine do provide. They will probably reveal more in the coming months since the game does have a set date now.
>>337146905
Brutal.
>>337146827
Made me think it could be Ken since Ken would be graduating highschool in 2016. So if he showed up after graduation, it would make sense for him not to have a uniform.
>>337142648
Hahaha fucking white knight
>>337146927
>Internally she wishes she could be the delinquent for a little bit, but can't cause Council Prez rep.
>>337147049
Hahaha fucking forum crawler
>>337146995
A man being sentenced to probation is pro Anita.
>>337147049
>defending the victim of criminal harassment is whiteknighting
>>337142648
Did the writer get arrested for trying to stop something similar so he wrote a power fantasy or something?
>>337145176
They're not giving much info but there will be S.links. You really think they will remove such a big thing to the series? Like 99% of people played Persona 3 and 4 for it.
Daily reminder that Persona never needed social bullshit to be its own thing. ITS THE FOCUS ON CHARACTERS THEMSELVES THAT MAKE PERSONA. You don't need some dating sim shit to do that. Not that I ever hated it but still play p1 and 2 plebs.
Please tell me this wild card bullshit is over and everyone can use more than one fucking persona again.
>>337146805
>when the (you)'s you get are completely hollow
baka
>>337147616
>wanting these games to be even more easy
>>337144891
Good. Fuck p3.
>>337147173
>>337147216
>Making a whole team just to fight off men who harass women isn't whiteknighting
>>337147757
>Making a whole team
now where'd you get that from? the interview says only potter jumped in and beat the perpetrator, nothing about a team
>>337147757
I doubt it's just fighting against that anon.
>>337146370
Fuck that
>Pope Joan is, according to popular legend, a woman who reigned as pope for a few years during the Middle Ages. Her story first appeared in chronicles in the 13th century and subsequently spread throughout Europe. The story was widely believed for centuries, but most modern scholars regard it as fictional.
>Most versions of her story describe her as a talented and learned woman who disguised herself as a man, often at the behest of a lover. In the most common accounts, due to her abilities, she rose through the church hierarchy and was eventually elected pope. Her sex was revealed when she gave birth during a procession, and she died shortly after, either through murder or natural causes. The accounts state that later church processions avoided this spot, and that the Vatican removed the female pope from its official lists and crafted a ritual to ensure that future popes were male.
I think this ritual still exists today : each time a new pope is elected someone from the Papal Conclave has to peek under the robe to verify if the testicles are present.
>>337147757
Never go full retard.
>Sakura changes after encountering the hero. Her situation has special circumstances associated with it, and she has a key role in the story
>Makoto becomes a focus in the story after the first incident at Syujin High School
>She will have a key role as the story moves forward
Just as long as it isn't another one of those dungeon of the week scenarios where one character has their entire arc in one dungeon then is completely pushed to the side and forgotten for another character's arc/dungeon
>>337147693
>I literally never played a persona before 3
>>337148093
Persona 2 is really fucking easy anon. Easiest SMT game I've played.
>>337148093
Are you implying that P2 and P1 are hard? Specially P2?
>>337148093
There's a reason people refer to P1 and P2 as "Autobattle The Game".
>>337148093
It's starting to look like you never played Persona before 3 anon.
>>337147906
>now where'd you get that from?
>He becomes a Phantom Thief afterwards to fight against that.
>>337147998
Yes anon, be careful not to
>>337148448
socially desperate
>>337148158
>>337148214
>>337148270
IS is easy as fuck, but EP is pretty challenging. Bosses can drop your whole party really fast and defensive spells like Maha-Rakukaja are almost necessary for the latter fights.
>>337148448
To fight against his probation, you imbecile. He is rebelling against authority because he was arrested and put on probation for helping someone.
Why are people on /v/ so stupid?
>>337148523
>defensive spells like Maha-Rakukaja are almost necessary
This is normal for most SMT games.
>>337148617
>Why are people on /v/ so stupid?
they are not stupid. they are lonely.
when they dont stop replying, but what they reply is pretty much rambling. you are talking to lonely anon #3072
>>337148523
>and defensive spells like Maha-Rakukaja are almost necessary for the latter fights.
This isn't new
NO DUAL AUDIO NO BUY
>>337148518
Here's your reply

>To fight against his probation
Kek
>>337142648
So when does his second arrest happen? End of the game?
>>337142648
Oh yeah he's totally gonna be fully voiced.
The only reason i play persona is so i can be in highschool again ;_;
>>337141492
>Adieu-chan's persona is Milady de Winter
Well, I was right.
>>337149085
>Kek
social desperation strikes again
>>337148635
>>337148965
I'm not talking about mainline; I was just using an example to point out to the anons that said Persona 2 is easy taht Eternal Punishment has hard enemies take actual strategy and planing. Keep in mind that group buffs in this game are fusion spells that require Affectionate Prayer, a skill only a few personas have, and you actually have to work for it.
>>337149187
What if that arrest really was the end of the game? Like MC's smirk is the last thing you see before the credits.

>She has inhuman computing abilities, as a girl genius in programming capability. She is a first-year student in high school who has trouble communicating with others, however she becomes a shut-in after a certain incident.
Jesus fuck can they make a character any more generic?
>>337150172
All characters are generic in some way or form.
Will his probation officer be a cute girl?
>>337150153
if you die. you will be able to just live it out in real time in that real world.
did you think life after death was going to be boring?
you will be able to do anything you want in a 3d 5 sense reality
>>337150172
>inb4 she was sexually abused and there are legitimate reasons for her isolation
will never happen
I just can't see this game having a silent protagonist other than shouting out persona names
So you are telling me hes going to beat up some womanizer in the prologue and not say a single word doing it?
Its time they joined the 21st century like Fallout 4 and GTA. Voice protags are needed badly.
>>337142648
I don't know man, he sounds pretty edgy to me.
>>337150125
Here's your (You)
>>337151201
social desperation strokes again
>>337150795
I could see it being done without dialogue.
>Potter-kun stalks perverted japanese old man
>follows him into a empty alleyway
>beats the shit out of man while he begs for mercy
You would need no words to come from him, just an expression of disgust on his face would be enough to convey what he feels and why he's doing this.
>>337142648
>being detained by the police because of the injuries he inflicts on that man

>We get to be a Social Justice Thief
/v/ BTFO.
The good guys always win.
You guys are on the wrong side of history once again.

nothing like keeping a person in stagnation

>>337152013
who did you expect to fall for that?
buns > braid
>>337152783
At least one person, and it worked.
>They couldn't even commit to a Lupin style thief, because it was too morally ambiguous.
Fuck me. Like, we couldn't even go Robin Hood and steal from the rich and skim a bit for ourselves? We HAVE to be super just heroes?
Grow some fucking balls, P Team.
>>337152829
Not romanceable.
Enjoy being cucked again, lolifags.
>>337152829
Shouldn't protags be treated as VIP's in the velvet room?

>She is a first-year student in high school who has trouble communicating with others, however she becomes a shut-in after a certain incident.
We were just joking around, but holy shit, she actually is a hikikomori.

>they aren't actually thieves
>>337153432
I didn't think they'd actually follow through.
>>337145678
If this means I can spend my entire winter break playing Persona 5, then I don't mind a non-worldwide release.
>>337153354
>Wanting to help a strong independent womyn who's perfectly capable of fighting off her attacker herself
This is why you're still a virgin.
>>337153781
She's a fake NEET, like /b/ users.

I had just assumed it was Potter because he has the whole black/red color scheme and he wears boots and has black pants.
>>337153297
>Introverted nerd girl with BO
Why is this so best?
>>337153615
She is the final villain obviously
>>337148523
I actually can't remember a single time i had difficulty with EP, on the other hand that fight against the three Longinus robots in IS gave me a hard time.
>>337153657
S. D. S. A.
>>337153969
(y.o.u)
>>337153031
They're going to have an S. Link, for sure, and at the very least it will end with some implied romance, like Margaret. The only question is, will they have separate S. Links, or share one?
>>337153927
I love Toko, but Sakura ain't no Toko.
>>337154385
True. I guess she was just the first "stinky fujoshi" character I thought of.
>>337154292
Share one probably, kinda like the sports link in 4 worked.
>>337154292
>at the very least it will end with some implied romance
Not this time, dude. Nanako's and Maiko's "I wanna marry you when I grow up!" is as much as you lolifags are gonna get.. And I don't think you're getting even that from these two.
Reminder that S.Links are gone

Daily reminder that, without the dating sims and s-links, nobody would give a damn about Persona in the first place. Persona started with 3. Deal with it.
>>337154876
"She becomes a shut-in" implies that she dropped out.

So, my dream woman?
>>337156000
>She is a first-year student in high school
