What do you think the theme of Persona 5 will be?
From what has been revealed, probably freedom.
Freedom
>>284187412
Freedom, obviously.
>YOU ARE SLAVE! WANT EMANCIPATION?
>>284187412
It's freedom you dumb fuck. This has been confirmed like a million times.
>>284187509

Criminals

Sex
>>284187412
Freedom
>Persona 1: Purple
>Persona 2: Red
>Persona 3: Blue/Pink
>Persona 4: Yellow
>Persona 5: Red again
WHY NO GREEN ATLUS?
Swag
>>284187412
But persona 1 is more about being lost in your own ideal world. Hell, the writers liked that theme so much they copied it twice over with Q and the first Arena
RAPE
>>284187769
Green a shit, where my blue bros at?
1 was Dreams, dude.
>>284187769
Green a shit. Purple is where it's at.
>>284187846
Don't forget, the entirety of Persona 3 is basically just a retelling of the Snow Queen Quest.
>>284187872
Say that to my face and see what happens faggot
>>284187879
Pretty sure that was catherine
>>284187412
Director has repeatedly mentioned the core theme of the game is about discontent people within a dark and lifeless society seeking freedom, passion and exhilaration.
>>284187769
Persona started with 3. So therefore so far we only have Blue, Yellow and Red.
Persona 6 will be Green.
>>284187872
Here
>>284187969
in other words honorary smt/persona game
Yes, freedom, like the other anons have mentioned.
Didn't the director outright say it, too?
>>284187969
Catherine was a whole bunch of stuff.
>>284187412
Persona 1: Hospitals
What the fuck are you on about. One major character is in a hospital so that's the entire theme of the game?
>>284188050
>Persona started with 3
>>284187769
>Persona 1: grey as shit, purple was only added in the remake by the P3/4 writers
>Persona 2: Also grey as shit
So far we've hit the primary colors, so I wouldn't discount secondary colors from here on out, unless they get new writers again.
>>284187412
Edge
>>284187769
They intentionally picked red again to symbolize a "return to form" for the series. Hence why Soejima tried hard to make Arsene resemble older Personas and why demons are back as enemies.
>>284188143
He's right.
>>284187412
FREEEEDOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM
>>284187412
TRAPS!
>>284187969
Nah. Not him, not Persona 1's theme was definitely dream/fantasy/day dream; however you want to word it. Not subconscious dream mind you, but conscious dreams, like when you pretend you're someone people actually like. That kind of dream.
>>284188143
Did you know that the first SMT game was Persona 3?
>>284188208
Persona 5 will be mark the beginning of Persona's golden age
A game where they link both SMT and persona together while paying homage to P1 and P2
Save this
>>284187412
>Persona 5: Kleptomania's fun
>>284188208
But there never was a red to return to.
Persona died after the first game anyway. 2 was a fucking memegame that introduced anime and shit plot/gameplay to the series. 3 and 4 were just the icing on the shitcake.
Play the first game, weep at how masterful it is, then move on with your life, neo-SMT fans.
>>284188346
>Persona 5 will be mark the beginning of Persona's golden age
But Golden killed persona's "golden age"
>>284187412
Freedom, apparently.
>>284188346
Nah it will be the same shit like P4 because it prints money
>>284188146
They only had grey menus because all JRPGs had grey menus back in the day.
>>284188460
I've yet to play P1. What's a good emulator to run it on for a toaster?
>>284188440
Yeah but red is P2's color NOW.
>>284188460
>a game so fucking obtuse it's pretty much impossible to play
>b-but it's challenging
>>284188636
With a new writing team, anon. They only added the color scheme with the remakes.
>tfw Soejima will never, ever be good as Kaneko
Whatever happened to him, anyway? Last we saw his art was Strange Journey.
>>284188617
PPSSPP
>>284188717
Not him but what's obtuse about it, the game isn't hard
>>284188717
The story is better and no VN elements.
That's enough for me at least
What's up with the menus? Looks seriously horrible, like something out of Jet Set Radio. I thought the graffiti shit died on 2002
>>284188617
PPSSPP. Play the psp version
>>284188460
I like P1 the best over all, but anyone who says "memegame" forfeits any opinion they may have and should be regarded as a legitimately retarded person with a legitimately retarded thing to say.
It's a shame none of the other games had first person dungeon crawling though.
>>284187412
>Persona 1: Hospitals
What
>>284188717
>Obtuse
The game plays like butter. I can't imagine what would be obtuse about it.
>Challenging
Nigga P1 is easy as fuck, even when compared to other Persona games. It's absolutely easier than P2 and P3.
>>284188737
Soejima is definitely the best they have now. He's not Kaneko but he's close. Soejima did the ingame character portraits for P2 and they were great
>>284188821
> Looks seriously horrible, like something out of Jet Set Radio.
You're seriously horrible.
>>284188460
>memegame
>>284188867
PQ has first person dungeon crawlingand the best dungeons
>>284187412
revolution
>>284189052
But the menus from the trailer is fucking horrible? Who was the art director again?
>>284188617
I would play Revelations: Persona on a PS emulator first and play the SEBEC route because the original version just has to be experienced and the music is really like no other found in any Persona or SMT game. It's just that unique and good.
Then play the PSP version for the Snow Queen Quest since it's fucked in the PS localization. But beware that faggot Meguro cheesed up the OST in the PSP version with his special brand of Jpop Persona 3/4 autism
>>284189216
Soejima unless I'm mistaken. Fuck you, the menus are gorgeous. Maybe I just have a thing for heels.
>>284189048
>He's close
No he isn't, he's good but he's no Kaneko.
5: Trying so hard, and getting far
>>284189291
What the fuck, don't ever reccomend the PS1 version it's awful as shit
You can just download the ISO that has the original soundtrack on it from /pg/ pastebin
>>284189174
Shame that it somewhat ruins the characters
>>284189210
Seems like a likely candidate.
>>284189216
In alright with the menus, I just really hope that we don't get that "page tear, look at my eyes" scene every time someone talks. That's going to get so fucking annoying so fast. I REALLY hope they stick to character portraits for dialogue.
>>284187412
BITCHES
>>284189291
Revelations AND P1 PSP both had great music. I won't have you takin' shit 'bout my "School Days" jam nigga.
meme's
>>284189371
In the end, it doesn't even matter
>>284189461
Considering Catherine, they probably triea to do more ingame facial expression
>>284189410
Really? I didn't know someone put in the original OST into the PSP iso, I was hoping someone would do that. I'm also interested in checking it out. Where can you find it?
>>284189536
that's cringeworthy
>>284189048
But he's working off Kaneko's designs I'd say he's getting better, but nothing close to Kaneko's level at all.
His personas don't have the cool shoes Kaneko's has, for one. Plus, I fucking love the digital art. The way they're shaded is somehow pretty creepy.
>>284187412
Freedom. More specifically, how each person's freedom affects other people's freedom.

Pretty sure it's just whenever someone is surprised or whatever.
What ever happened to the scenario writer (I think) who self inserted himself into P1 and 2?
>>284188737
At least it's not the guy who did the SMTIV demons
>>284189801
Thank you, anon!
>>284188208
Also, Arsene's design reminds me of Tatsuya's Vulcanus.
>>284189915
>the guy
There is no one guy in SMT IV, however Doi did manage to make those demons look good in his style.
>>284189915
I liked his angels, and Minotaur is great.
Medusa was fuckawful though, and the demons range from pretty cool with Lilith and Astaroth to boring as fuck like Asmodeus.
I'm trans. Will I like this game or will it oppress me?
>>284190493
It can't make you a worse human being that's for sure
>>284190421
I didn't mind Minotaur, but as you said some of them are really bad.
>>284189787
I thought that it was more about a metaphorical/figurative freedom.
We're never truly free because society is always holding our actions back,we can have freedom in a physical sense but not in a mental sense,this is especially true for countries like Japan but can be applied for anywhere in the world.
>>284190493
I hope it oppresses you in a way that is unimaginable. This game will wait for you out of your workplace to mock you. This game will follow you around and do bad things to you. This game will rape you when you're around at night in a park. This game will kill your family because it hates trans. This game will ruin your life because it is oppressing as fuck like every other game.
Fuck this shit man, surely videogames are evil and oppressing.
>>284188737
Is that Verdandi?I'm trying to gather all the P1 and 2 persona designs so I can make up a PQ with the first two games' characters alongside the Scoobies and SEES.
There's Jack shit for some of the P1 characters'.
>>284190620
Yeah, that's the point man. We hold back to not hurt other's freedom.
>>284190493
It'll give you hope because you will always be a slave for the rest of your life.
A stupid one.
>>284190752
It's Gabriel as a persona design.
Have you checked the SMT wiki?
>>284190620
Kind of odd that Japan is making a game about freedom. Aren't they right there with China with that "Nail dat stick up mist get hit down hardest!" shit? Individuality doesn't seem like something that's accepted in their culture.
But I know nothing of culture.
>>284190865

>>284189915
CMIIW but I check the wiki and Kaneko is credited to design IV demons
>>284190945
>armchair Japanese historian
>>284190945
That's exactly why it's about freedom.
Businessmen in the trailers are walking around like husks, people are glued to their phones...etc.
>>284190894
Never realized Gabriel got changed in the earlier Persona Games.
Thanks mango.
Sorry for being a drooling retard.
>>284191116
That's what the disclaimer at the bottom is for pal.
>>284191116
I think it common sense.
>>284190945
Do you notice how businessman in the trailers are all husks?
That what the protagonist and co are trying to avoid
A life as a wage slave, but because that is the reality they are trying to change the reality around them or atleast delaying it
Im hoping for obscure demons to appear in P5
>>284190865
>party_member_betrays_you_and_abandons_team_with_your_gear.webm
>>284191268
Yeah, but what I mean is I though Japan supported that husk life. That's desirable in their society, etc.
>>284191318
>MC is designed after Shax
>Ryuji is fucking hell biker

>>284191413
#Husklife
>>284187928
My nigga, my nigga.
>>284191413
Japan is a society of appearances.
Breaking away from the norm is shuned upon so they try their best to not deviate and thus it creates this idea that people have that japan ideal is to become that husk wage slave
This is the main point of critique in P5
>>284191413
Why do you think in japan high school is often considered the best part of their lives?
And its not just because it is being young, but also because you can dream of crazy shit
I believe that P2 also noted this
>>284187969
Catherine was social commentary about Japan's birthrate you twit.
Did you try playing it?
>>284191557
I get that. I just think it's odd given that that's their culture. Kind of like if an American developer were making a game critiquing individuality and supporting being a cog in the grand machine.
I can't think of any American made games that do that (but obviously I could be wrong)
>>284188460
Persona 1 was fucking dogshit. Persona 2 was the only game worth a damn until Atlus went hiatus on the series and rebirthed as an dating sim.
>>284191894
Both 1 and 2 are good games ruined by the dogshit combat
>>284191413
it's simple escapism. teens and alike alike cope by entertaining the notion that they really can just flip everyone the bird, go out and live a life of adventure. They know they'd just end up dead or NEET in a matter of weeks, but it still makes life easier by pretending otherwise.
Media about freedom from society is seen as therapeutic, if a bit naive.
>>284191894
Ha ha, wow, good job anon. You tried to spell "amazing" but only got two letters right.
So the final boss will most likely have to do with how from the moment you are born you are damned to follow a certain lifestyle.
No matter what you do you will never be actually be free to from the limits of being alive in this world.So Potter-kun will somehow say fuck this shit and go beyond the limits of being a living being?
>>284190865
damn thats cold blooded
>>284191821
Well I could see japanese people criticizing their own society
I mean they look at western societies and see all those differences and begin to wonder
But they dont externalize it
And they do show up that escapism, through all the anime, and games and all that kinda of stuff
its their own little way of dreaming in a society that dont allow that
And its the reason why there are so many NEETs over there, they just dont accept that reality
>>284190829
Not necessarily, in fact for most of the time the reason we hold back is because of ourselves
>Fear of what people you think about you
>Expectations that society has about you
>Wanting to create ''masks'' or ''images'' of ourselves to other people
We don't really ''need'' to do any of those things but we feel the necessity anyway.
The hobbies,jobs,attitudes and the way we act are all molded by ourselves to fit in the society.
>>284190945
Japanese people hold their actions back to fit in society,this apply to any country but it's especially true in Japan.
That's why a story that's about release the chains of society that hold you back can have impact in the entire world but more so in Japan.

Persona 5:NEVER EVER
Which persona character do you think has the most aesthetic dick? I'm talking size, shape, vector, color, temperature, etc.
>>284187412
>Persona 1: Hospitals
what?
The games theme is "hospitals"?
>>284192796
Persona: Hospital Simulator
>>284192796
No. The theme is fantasies, or idealized situations.
>>284192613
Mara
>>284192613Ken
>>284192895
>>284192796
He said hospitals because the game is about... SPOILERSA lonely girl who's bed ridden in a hospital, who creates a fantasy world where she's popular and everyone loves her and hospitals and police stations don't exist because everyone is healthy and safe. Pretty much the whole game takes place in her made up ideal world.
>>284192796
>>284189023
>>284188103
>>284187846
Pls explain
>>284192613

>people are glued to their phones
Holy fuck, it was like that during my last few years of high school when all the smart phone shit started to drop. As soon as we got free time, almost of all the kids would hop onto their smart phones and browse whatever social media site. Hell, there were even instances where an entire lunch tables of kids didn't talk to each other but instead, would take selfies and text and shit.
I'm glad to be done with high school but is this the future?
>>284197389
It already happens pretty much everywhere not just in high schools
Welcome to the information era
>>284195375
An empty room with a door that locks from the outside. There's picture frames with no pictures on the inside and a broken clock hung up on the wall, a calender with none of the dates marked off, and a single window that's always open, 20 floors above a busy road, where you can hear everyone below talking and laughing and enjoying life.
