Remind me of Catherine that game, especially the art style and cell shader.

Well, is from atlus so I'm not surprise.

Getting To Know Persona 5



The new trailer for Persona 5 was just the right balance of entertaining and intriguing. But if the trailer alone wasn't enough, here's more info from the game's director.

In a recent interview with Weekly Famitsu, Persona 5 director Katsura Hashino revealed details on the game's protagonist and what all the masked man stuff was about. "In this day and age, many people feel they don't know where they're going and carry personal problems, big and small." Hashino explained.

"You may not be able to achieve happiness by simply following the set rules or values, but at the same time, it's hard to work up the courage to take initiative and change the status quo." He added: "That sort of negative side of modern society serves as one of the backbones of this game."



The story of Persona 5 revolves around a young boy who has transferred to school in Tokyo. He lives at a café that belongs to a friend of his parents, and yet for some reason, he has lost his place in the world. The protagonist, while seemingly calm and mild-mannered, has an alter ego as a phantom thief. Once he dons his mask, he becomes someone else – a "persona" change if you will.

"For this game, much like the previous games, the player is the protagonist, however, unlike Persona 3 or Persona 4, this protagonist carries his own issues and unless he resists in some way, he may be facing a very difficult future." Hashino said, "There was a scene where the protagonist was dressed as a prisoner, you could say that he was in a 'spiritual prison' of sorts." The name of the school the protagonist goes to, the Shujin school (秀尽学園), was named such because it's a homonym for the Japanese word for prisoner (囚人).



The other characters who join with the protagonist all carry their own problems and, like the protagonist, have apparently lost their place. While he would not divulge many details, Hashino did reveal that the cat character would play a pivotal role in the story. So, something like Teddie from Persona 4, perhaps?

The main character's initial persona will be named Arsène. What relation this has to the French fictional character, Arsène Lupin, or the main character's alter ego as a thief, has yet to be revealed.4

Hashino did note that many of the game features that fans have come to love about the Persona series will be back, perhaps with some upgrades and alterations to fit with the new game's setting.

He confirmed that the community system and randomly generated dungeons will both be back in some form, although reportedly the main plot-related dungeons – like the grand hall with the chandeliers the protagonist can be seen running around on in the trailer – will be fixed dungeons.

Persona 5 is scheduled for release in Japan and in North America on the PS3 and PS4, and it can't come out fast enough.

Kotaku Sauce

that's a leak right? not suppose to be on youtube cause it comes with the bundle together with persona 4 dancing all night limited edition.....or so i heard.

I saw atlus took down some of the videos.

i'm not watching that video. do not want to be spoiled.

So it's the pro fault?

Nevertheless, I see it as a good delay as there has been too much games coming out for February that I am looking forward to.

Hope they don't delay Nioh or Horizon:Zero Dawn.

Wonder if there are any really significant difference for graphic between the pro version and the normal version since P5 graphic is more on the cartoonish/cell-shaded kind of graphic.

it is coming out in less than a month!!!!

lol what? that is almost the price of a single game lol.

Heard that the quality of the bag is so so only.

impulse closed the order for take your heart edition, so either u can PO from amazon, ebay or play-asia.

I actually wanted to use the bag, not just display it.

Warning: Spoiler Alert.

it is modeled after a high school bag, so it is suppose to work as a bag for high schooler, and suppose to be as big as well. If the quality is not on par on a regular high school bag in japan then i dun think i will buy it.

only for north america i heard, can't confirm on it.

jelly.

he's in the gaming scene lol. if u come to this playstation forum, u will sure come across his name a few times so it's not a surprise.

i heard it is only for the north america side, but cannot confirm on this. hopefully it will come.

Steel book version

luckily i did PO before this. 4/4 can't come fast enough!!!!
