>The protagonist and his friends will infiltrate a world known as “Palace,” which represents the warped minds of adults, using a mysterious app on their phones called “Isekai Navi.” There, they’ll snatch away the adult’s hidden desire, called a “Treasure,” and reform their target.
Fucking really? It's even worse than persona 3 bullshit super secret school club
So they are basically mind-raping people and forcibly altering their personality?
>>337438123
So it's like Inception with japanese highschool students?
>>337438265
What is wrong with mind-raping bad guys to become good people?
>>337439502
>bad guys
>because they are aduts
>>337439632
>they'll snatch away the adult's hidden desire, called a "Treasure", and reform their target
>reform their target
If they have targets, that normally means they're not aimlessly messing with random adults, but rather people who they have a reason to target.
It's fucking disappointing that their fights still take place in an alternate dimension where only they can freely come and leave. Being thieves in real life with REAL repercussions sounded a lot more interesting.
Although the fact that they can change the mind of their targets has potential, because I bet they'll target politicians and other influential people... or maybe not.
>>337438123
Pyschonauts?
>>337441670
It's heavily implied that they piss off some pretty infuentual organizations, possibly government.
>>337441670
Did you not see the trailer where MC-kun got captured and interrogated by adults?
>The protagonist saves a woman who was being harassed by a man, but he then gets arrested after the police sees the injuries on the offender. He is then placed on probation.
Already best Persona protag.
>>337440443
Because retarded chuuni children are obviously the best people to decide who should be "reformed".
>>337438123
>A Persona game where adults are evil
So basically every game besides Eternal Punishment?
>>337443432
this is an oversimplification.
adults in each game aren't the final antagonists
>>337443432
Maki was the evil one in the first persona
>bunch of hipster fuckwit teens go around literally removing bad thoughts from adults
This game is a TUMBLR SJW wet dream. What a joke.
>>337441670
They aren't the only ones who know of Palace.
From the trailers it looked like some bigwigs know of it and want to keep it secret at all costs
>>337442387
That part is probably not him getting captured for his theivery and more likely getting captured for beating the shit out of the dude who is supposed to be harrassing a girl at the start whom he'll white knight for.
>>337446224
Why do people feel the need to use such shitty bait?
Persona was always about a bunch of teens banding together and changing/saving the world.
Now we have a theme of corruption and shitposters can't do anything better than go >lol tumblr
>>337446495
What bait? This premise is fucking stupid. Look at yourself getting excited over thought police the game.
>>337446465
That girl will probably be that hikki girl who doesn't go to school but is a genius anyway!
>>337446224
Yeah, it seems that way at first...
>>337438123
So, is it going to be like P4? The monster/boss of the week kind of style? Oh man. This is going to be tiring.
>>337446572
It isn't about thought police at all.
It's about corrupt and warped adults being brought on the right path by the protagonists, which is unsurprisingly similar to other JRPGs.
I don't mind if you don't like the game, the style or the premise but talking shit about it kills discussion so stop shitposting pls.
>>337446945
>It isn't about thought police at all.
Except it is. Read OP's post again retard.
>It's about children invading minds and forcing their own immature inexperienced view on life into adults
Disgusting.
don't worry, maybe Atlus has sunk low enough to put an arc where you invade the mind of someone saying bad things about shit video games you like and force him to like it. You'd love it.
>>337447123
The thing about bait is you have to be subtle and shouldn't openly scream around that you're baiting.
>>337446924
No, monster of the week was in persona 3
How retarded you need to be to consider what persona 4 was monster/boss of the week style?
I don't want to defend persona 4, but do you ever know meaning of this phrase?
>>337447219
>If I post say it's bait that means I'm not biting
You people are braindead.
But hey, this is what you do when confronted with opinions you don't like. Roll over.
>>337447361
I might be wrong. Please do elaborate. I do know in P3 even progression through Tartarus is tied to a certain event for the next 20 lvl of floors available. In P4 you have to save someone in a set of time. And repeat that process over and over (the saving the character process) again until you meet Adachi. How will P5 dungeon and progression is going to work. I prefered P3’s style.
>>337447886
>I prefered P3’s style.
It was the same shit. Are you fucking retarded?
What if Nyarly comes back and they try to invade his mind to change his chaotic ways?

In P4 you're pretty much saving your soon to be comrades every single time. Here's a date to save this guy/girl. And then wait a few days for the damsel to be cured. And then do the same thing again. Plot-wise it only moved at a better pace after meeting with Kanji and Naota. In P3, you pretty much do the same thing. But plot still moves at a decent speed. But I might be just talking out of my ass. Anyways P3>P4.

LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS IN P3. Then you go to a beach, get aegis and learn "mad scientist did it" and go back to nothing.

"might" is an understatement.
As usual P3 fanboys are fucking dumb.

lol what?
>>337448601
But muh japanese Scooby Doo
>>337448601

>This guy is pretending to be a King/Shogun/Cleopatra in the otherworld better steal from them

It looks like you conveniently gain party members because they have a beef with *insert shadow boss here. Better than P4 at least but it's still going to play out the same way.

Considering the majority of "adults are stupid" stories in Japan started because of a hatred of the salaryman system that kept families separated, plus how ineffective the DIET is as a whole leading to further stress, on top of the ridiculous expectations that burden the high school system of Japan which was what created the once highest suicide rate in the world?
This isn't San Fran teenagers whining about diversity.
>everytime around this hour there is a persona shitposting thread
Ban australia already hiro
>>337449284
It's sad that Persona fanboys really think there is some sort of social commentary in these otaku pandering shit games. Go on and tell us how white knight MC invading a stereotypical gym teacher who ogles the female students is deep and related to fallout of WW2.
Persona is the worst.

Your initial post was about monster of the week/month
>>337443689
That's clearly going to be the case here too. A powerful entity will be the one who granted people access in some way to "The Palace" and the big twist in the story is going to be finding out whoever the Thieves piss off are a group doing the same thing but in an effort to suppress and enslave all of humanity. While the thieves have been fighting previously to fix people they find shitty, they realize their goal was as misguided as the organization's and end up going down the path to stop them and free humanity from being enslaved in everyday life devoid of free will.
Or if there's multiple endings, we get one where the thieves supplant the organization to continue their purging of undesirable thoughts.

P4 characters stops developing after you saved them. After that, it's just Yu trying his best to bone all of them.

It's actually part of the story that everyone gets complacent with the knowledge a big scary monster comes out every full moon and they just have to beat them all to win.
Why do you think shit hits the fan when it stops?
>>337449965
I misused that term. Pardon my illiteracy in the art of animu.
>>337450496
Both P3 and P4 have some good and some shit characters
The writing in both isn't that different from a pure quality point
P3 and P4 had a great atmosphere but P3 (and the last months of P4) was dragged down by the weird dissonance between school and afterschool scenes.
I wouldn't call the pacing in the games shit
P4 still has awful dungeons even if they are better than Tartarus.
Slapping the theme of a dungeon everywhere doesn't excuse the shitty layout

Top lel. Everyone is "gud" from the get go. It's the easiest Megaten out.

Its unsurprising why Adachi is more popular than the cast in 4

Let's be honest here, p2 was shallow garbage plot wise compared to the persona 3
>>337450984
This is bait
>>337450984
>niggas who bitch at the gameplay just need to git gud.
The gameplay is easy though. The random encounter rate and shit as fuck dungeons kills the game.
The plot and characters are the best in the series though, not denying that.
>>337451180
4 cast never tried to judge or reform Adachi, only fucking beat shit out from him after all problems he caused
>>337451185
>Reviving motherfucking Hitler and the goddamn Nazis using the power of pimp master Nyarla.

>>337441670
Persona 3. They could walk around the real world all they wanted for an hour with no cameras or witnesses. Strega used the time for the revenge site so you know it worked.

I missed when they used their Personas out in the open, in the real world.
>>337451180
>Doing Dojima's Social Link
>All your choices at one point is about giving him shit when he's actually fighting through depression and doing his best to both be a good detective and father.
Dojima and Adachi were the best characters in P4. The rest can go fuck themselves.
>>337451185
>p2 was shallow garbage plot wise compared to the persona 3
>Shitting on IS's plot yet thinking P3's is better
My sides, it has the best story out of the entire series which pisses me off how it never got an anime instead while the rest past it did.
>>337449419
The focuses here not only the adults, but also the main characters themselves on developing in their own ways to become good adults and not fall into the same sin that the current corrupt adult that they're fighting.
Even though it's a weeb series, it might be a subtle jab on how the current condition of society in Japan is declining.
>>337442873
You seem triggered as fuck about this whole game
Did someone rape you when you were a kid or something or some kid ruined your dreams somehow
Ur pretty fucked up it seems
This sounds too much like 4
Why can't Hashino try something fresh
Fucking hell
I mean P3 is not really perfect in term of plot but at least it was refreshing
This sounds like a reskinned 4 with different characters

>>337451808
>actually letting you PLAY the game is watering it down
>>337451808
P4 was a means to an end.
Atlus had a surprise cash-cow on P3 so they went maximum pandering with P4 to capitalize and establish that success. They went with something safe.
Similar to what Fate was for Type-Moon after Tsukihime.
For the record I think Anon is being retarded believing P5 looks anything like P4.
>>337451640
>Says P2's plot was shallow
>Telling other people they are shitposting
>>337451979
>For the record I think Anon is being retarded believing P5 looks anything like P4.
Then you are the one who is retarded here.
How fucking blind are you? P5 is following P4's style and going even further. Why wouldn't they? P4 was popular as fuck. As if the dancing in the first trailer didn't give that away.
>>337438123
I'm still going to have fun with this game and there is not a damn thing you can do about it
>>337441670
>Being thieves in real life with REAL repercussions sounded a lot more interesting
Except there's an organization that knows about pocket dimension
Except there's literally a trailer that has a huge train going off rails in real world, indicating that things that happen in alternate dimension have real world repercussions
Except it's clearly indicated that most of the enemies are influential people, and not some nebulous force like shadows
How come the only argument /v/ can ever come up with is "being wrong"?
>>337451979
>For the record I think Anon is being retarded believing P5 looks anything like P4.
It has shit fanservice crap in the trailer though.
Their targets were probably corrupted by some elder entity that entered through their vices.
>>337451630
When you look at P3, make what you want of the main plot but it is easy to tell a lot more thought went into writing it, especially when you factor in the connections to P1.
>The Nanjo group being referenced
>Nyx
Nyx is especially important since her being the antagonist wasn't a random choice at all. Given that her appearance in P3 happens exactly 13 years after her appearance in P1 was intentional and the writers knew what they were doing. I don't know what the hell happened with P4 but the game does fit with the theory that everything about it was literally pulled out of the ass. Its clear as day not as much thought went into P4 plot and details like P3's.
>>337452078
Don't think you're special
The only people that will hate the game are typical /v/ spergs who actively seek out things to dislike, or outright make them up
Anyone else will have a blast
>>337452134
>guys this trailer represents the entire game!
Yeah remember in Persona 3 how you stopped a monorail then thought each new boss would have you stopped other real dangers from happening? Oh wait, that didn't happen. Every boss after was some stationary piece of shit that does fuck all.
>>337452134
What he means is using personas in real life like in P1&P2, not pocket dimensions.
I swear to god you guys are retarded.
>>337446465
He did something bad enough to get death sentence.
>>337452219
Or maybe some people just don't like shit games where you watch teenage drama

>its going to be the same formulaic strings of event
>final boss will be some sort of negative emotions
>final boss is going to go down with the power of friendship after a 1on1 duel with Phantom-kun
I seriously hope they don't do this
Door-kun didn't die for this to be repeated
>>337452221
so what's your point? the shadows didn't have real life consequences? Did you miss the part where more and more people become apathetic as the game goes on? did you miss the final confrontation with a moon that wants to kill everything?

I hope they get more creative with it this time. Wasn't Nyx literally some shit they accidentally cooked up in a lab?To be fair P2's final boss is Humanity's Negativity given form
>>337452379
>so what's your point?
That you don't know what is going to happen in this game and one boss crashing a train means nothing.
You clearly missed my point since you are now in full defense mode of a Shitsona 3.
>>337452494
It's just /v/, I suggest you leave this place by then
>>337450496
I thought tartarus was better because I found it cool that I kept going up and up, advancing every time to get to the top.
P4 dungeons were just draining.
P3 was a slow burn but the more it went on the better it got imo. P4 started out slow and was mediocre for most of the game until the last part. Agreeing with the fact that P3 had better music, better atmosphere and better characters.
Social links are pretty hit and miss for both games, some good some bad.
Even though you couldn't control teammates I'd still rather play 3 than 4.
On the other hand, I'd rank P4G on par with P3FES in terms of enjoyment for me.
>>337452263
>I swear to god you guys are retarded.
welcome to /v/
>>337452494
That's because they like pretty much all the SMT games for different reasons. Persona fans seem to think if you, say, like P4 then you must hate P3 and vice versa.
>>337452076
From all the pre-release info and what we have seem in the trailers, it should be obvious enough that they are pulling a bait and switch with a safe P4-esque adventuring start and they getting cocky with their geists before things go south for them.
It is a really obvious and clear bait and switch.
And the presence of an evil mega corp that is after the hero group is already radical different from anything on P4.
But this is /v/ after all, I don't expect much from from an echo chamber for retards.
>>337452545
>Wasn't Nyx literally some shit they accidentally cooked up in a lab?
Nyx was a extra terrestrial star eater that collided with the moon and whose mind shattered on earth. The entire game is nyx healing itself so it can become whole and kill humans/leave earth's orbit.
>>337439632
>>337440443
>good
there is no good or bad in persona world idiot, it always on how to handle the power
>>337452706
what are you retarded? The entire series is about the power of good and friendship over evil/ negativity.
Screw Persona! I want my nigga Raidou back in the game. Where's my Raidou Kuzunoha 3 Fatlus!?
Holy shit, I'm slowly losing hype for this game's story.
You can't tease me with thieves and pull Persona 4 bullshit.

>>337453307
I wish we were stealing from horrible people who get corrupted by their own sins and being forced to fight them to the death.
This is the same pansy bullshit Persona was where it's not a clashing of ideals, it's you literally pushing your ideas on others and curing of them of objectively evil thoughts with magic.
I'll be surprised if a single important character actually dies the entire game.

I was hoping it would be darker but it really seems like P4 with a more extravagant feeling.
Of course they'll be a obligatory 2sad5me moment where some apocalypse plan gets put into motion and everyone becomes weird like the final months in 3 or when it gets perma-fog in 4.
>>337453437
Tatsuya was there as a contrast to the adults, the part where he asks what adult life is like, and Baofu pretty much says it's a living hell, while the party wants to argue with his points but can't think of anything to say was the most real moment I ever experienced in the series.

Wow, you just missed entire point of that dialogue
It was about what being adult sucks but still worth it, not about how terribly it is

I bet you will love it

I would love to see both Raidou games coming for the ps4 emulation.
And the shadow hearts series...
One can dream.
>>337454203
I didn't miss the point, the part where he says it's worth it happens at the end, while saying goodbye to Tatsuya, he's like "I guess being an adult isn't so bad after all, haha"
I'm talking about the first time, it was just soul crushingly tragic to see the party desperately wanting to prove him wrong but being unable to say anything at all.
How should I go about playing P1 and P2?

>A girl with superhuman computational abilities and ingenious programming capabilities. She is a first-year student in high school, but on top of lacking skill at communicating with her peers, she became a shut-in after a certain incident. After her middle school graduation, she no longer attends school. When she’s alone with the protaognist, she behaves normally, but when she’s around others, she seems to cover her head with something strange.
>A third-year high school student who attends the same Syujin High School as the protagonist. She is a student council president with a sharp mind and irreproachable conduct. She has a strong sense of responsibility and ability to take action, but is an overly serious and straight-laced honors student who refuses to compromise.
Yep, it's persona 3 style garbage characters all over again
>>337438123
sounds bad, think i'll pick up ffxv instead
>>337454019
Isn't that the scene where they apologize to Tatsuya for letting the world become fucked up? (I forget the wording it's something like "It's kids who are supposed to look up to adults...we failed you,) It sounds pretentious on paper but the cast just admitting that being older doesn't make you wiser and you can only really be you.
It's almost like the complete opposite of P4 with "Adult's are either incompetent or evil". At least in Persona 3 that Cop[ isn't a total retard, possibly Mitsuru's dad too.
>>337438123
I'm more than willing to entertain this though due to the fact that Atlus haven't fucking failed yet with the stories in Persona.
>>337452494
Too busy shitting on P3 and up to care.
>>337455265
I think I'll pre-order both.
>>337455267
>P4 with "Adult's are either incompetent or evil"
There's only Adachi who's incompetent AND evil, everyone else doesn't really have anything to do with investigation. And Namatame has been thoroughly had
>>337438123
Sounds fine to me, why all the negativity? I think it has a lot of potential.
>>337455348
This. Persona's stories aren't perfect by any means, but they work really well for what they were trying to achieve.
NO DUAL AUDIO NO BUY
>>337455463
Dojima and the police in general are fucking useless.
>>337438123
The scenario presented sounds really interesting, but I don't think they'll be allowed to go as deep into the inner motivations of the most corrupt thoughts adults can have and represent them earnestly. Like the Lust demon, he's a big red naked hedonist, but has no visible genetalia. If that was supposed to be a true representation of a man deeply motivated by a sex drive he'd have visible genetalia.
>>337456037
>Dojima and the police in general are fucking useless
> At least in Persona 3 that Cop[ isn't a total retard, possibly Mitsuru's dad too.
Typical persona 3 defend force
>>337456047
Leave dick monsters to SMT. Persona's supposed to be tamer.
>>337438123
>The protagonist and his friends will infiltrate a world known as “Tartarus” which represents the warped minds of people watching the TV from outside, using a mysterious app on their phones called “Demon Summoning Program.” There, they’ll snatch away the adult’s hidden desire, called a “Shadow,” and reform their target.
How can Atlus keep getting away with this shit?
How do people say they like persona MC's and muh favourite one?
They are literally blank self inserts, you don't see anyone bragging about dark souls MC .
>>337457000
It's mostly their design I think. This one actually seems to at least have some personality too.
>>337457223
This. P4 protag didn't have any personality at all really, he was the true blank slate.
P3 protag seemed to just have an ambivalence to everything which I guess is still a personality.
>>337457223
Meh none of their designs really look cool to me besides potter kun in all honesty, still think Jun's voice is wasted on a guy who's most likely gonna have a few lines.
>>337456037
Yeah because they don't have access to persona and all that good stuff. That doesn't mean they're incompetent
>>337457621
> have an ambivalence to everything
You don't know meaning of this word, right?
>>337457000
Because they need something to compare and feel superior of despite both characters are literally the same blank state shit.
>>337438123
It is very emotional, and grounded. Soooo good. Unlike the heavy handed shit you get in a western game.
I can't get into Persona 3, am I doing something wrong?
I am all of a sudden forced into some weird demon fighting squad within the first few days with a bunch of randoms? It felt too rushed to me. I didn't like the music either. And mystery kid saying 'the world is ending but I don't know why lol' is pretty dumb too.
>>337453990
Considering that the streets are much more populated and open, I'm sorta looking forward to whatever doomsday segment the endgame has. A bustling city like Tokyo being reduced to a ghost town could be cool.
>>337457000
Because door-kun actually had some backstory, like he was forced to live with experiencing dark hour all this years
p4 mc was same shit as p1 and p2 ones, blank states
>character isn't actually a radical fucking thief
>literally another justice-inclined hero
>it's literally the same as 3 and 4
FUCK
>>337438123
how likely will one of the bosses be a representation of a racist's mind or a sex offender's?
>>337459457
>wanting some angst induced thief character
fuck off
>>337459232
I hate it when people say this to me, but seriously give it time. I was like that at first as well, but now it's one of my favourite games. If you still don't like it after giving it a real go however, then you probably should just drop it since it's pretty long.
>>337459581
>stealing shit
>angsty
He was going to be A FABULOUS THIEF
>>337459457
>>337459646
>it's not stealing if you steal from bad people!
????????????
I hope the plot twist as that they steal from a guy that looks bad, but is actually good and now the team feel like shit because they weren't doing the right thing anymore.
>>337459708
what are you even saying, stealing isnt "angsty" regardless of who you steal from. he could have been like Garret from thief.
and anyway now its not stealing at all. its taking peoples "desires" from their minds.
>>337459767
that's an obligatory plot point in anything with a plot like this
>>337460229
That's still stealing you twit. They're taking them without consent.
>>337460352
It's just not the same though, not like an actual heist, or anything. I was imagining like Oceans 11/Garret from thief style shit, but it's too bad. Will be more like Inception.
dual audio when
I just hope the level up song is as good as P4's, grooving to period was fun as fuck
It's like, instead of
>"We are going to steal the priceless diamond from this impossible enter room"
its
>"We are going to steal this guys thoughts about cheating on his wife"
Basically the same as intellectual property theft, except the owner forgets he owns it.
Lame.
>>337448015
Nyarly's not coming back. If they wanted it, they would have made him the big bad of arena like everyone thought. They're keeping references to Persona 1 and 2 to a minimum since an entirely different set of people made them.
>>337460660
I think there may actually be real world heists at some point. From the trailers, it seems like they screw up and steal from a very large organization. There's also the scene where they open a brief case full of cash. Who really knows though. Despite all this new info, we still don't really know THAT much about it.
>>337461256
Yeah, people who made p1-2 worked on the garbage like #fe
good thing that atlus keeps them away from persona series
>>337461095
There's a shot of them looking over a briefcase full of cash at one point, and of them living the high life in a fancy restaurant, so I assume they're somehow making money off their heists.
What are everyone's thoughts on Nuclear returning as an element?
>>337461380
Best element in the hands of the best girl
>>337438123
>Instead of stupid high school worries like inheriting an inn, the new shadow worlds will focus on the real problems adults face
I look forward to it.
>>337449975
well we get glory or ruin and it will probably come down to destroying the palace and losing your power which would be were we could get a bad end of 'fuck that i dont want to be normal again'
>>337459708
>go into someone's head and literally brainwash them
>stealing
You are not thieves. The entire motif of this game is retarded.
The entire premise of this game is childish, like a magical girl anime for 5 year olds. It plays out the same way as like Precure, someone's bad feelings are manifest as a dumb looking monster and kids fight it. There'll be a bunch of normal people whose "bad feelings" are amplified by the villains.
Only instead of cool martial arts like Precure, Persona has badly animated turn based attacks.
>>337461380
P4 went too hard on the slimming down so I'm glad there's some more elements back in the game now.
It also helps reduce the "Well I guess there's no point in ever putting Chie and Teddie in the same party"
Guns also adds another physical type without going down the messy strike/pierce/slash road that adds the same problem as having several party members with the same elements.
>>337449419
The social commentary is there, it's just that it's infantile garbage.
Almost all JRPGs target pre high school edgy kids as their main consumer base anyway, that was especially true of Persona 3+
