Stealing our hearts and your jewels - Persona 5 hype thread

[Mеа]

So there's no tower or tv world, but it's set in the outside world now?

[Third Eye Lem]

So this is what happens when you throw Sly Cooper, Persona, and mayyyyybe some bits from Sailor Moon and Super Sentai in a blender and hit puree...Interesting setting we got going here, a complete shift in tone from the more laid-back trailers we've seen so far. Also, that bit at the end...It might be just me, but

Spoiler:

could we see some human/demon transitioning ala Digital Devil Saga? Because that would be awesome to see again.

High point for this trailer: We get TWO Velvet Room assistants instead of one! They look adorable. :3c
Low point: The menus look nice yet they have these bright, contrasting colors...My poor eyes are gonna have a hard time with this. (ohdear)

Consider myself on board the hype train. I hope they don't go too crazy with the action elements though, otherwise we could end up with some strange turn-based and action hybrid like FF12...I'd still play it though!

Light confession, I don't think I would be as hype about this if it weren't for the jamming song in the background. The jumpsuits look cool as heck too. I don't know, I'll twiddle my thumbs and listen to the trailer on repeat until the full soundtrack comes out.

Even after sleeping this makes me excited.

Anyways, for some reason I'm getting major bro feelings off the male supporting character, and I already like him more than Junpei and Yosuke (which, admittedly, aren't high bars to pass). Haven't decided if he's more bro than Atsuro, though.

That's perfectly acceptable. For me it's a perfect storm of elements that make me so excited.

With the masks and stuff, anyone else thinking Philemon might be making a proper return?

You aren't the only one! I thought that too! When I saw MC's mask, the first thing that popped into mind was "...Philemon? Is that you? When'd you form a crew and become a Phantom Thief?"

[Zerviscos]

Crank up that social link. o3o

[Sagus]

*high pitched noises*

Literally the only thing that would make me more hype is if the mc was female (or there was a fmc option like in p3p) but since the mc seems to actually have a personality outside of dry stale oatmeal cookie, it's not too disappointing

[Amraphenson]

Hey man Minato and Yu had personalities. Yu has no common sense and Minato's a total jerk, what's not to love.

Spoiler:

And P3 Death Kid whose name escapes me (...ryoji?) is locked away in the Velvet room/spoiler]

that's P5MC. the hair is completely different(and exactly like P5MC's hair) and the theme of P5 is being held down by the chains of society and freedom. thematically, the jail cell makes a lot of sense b/c the P5MC is committing crimes and it jives with the overall theme. compare to p3/p4 rooms, an elevator moving endlessly upward(thematically matching the endless ascent of tartarus), and a car driving aimlessly through the fog(thematically matching with moving aimlessly looking for truth)

About the guy in the cage again;

Spoiler:

I've seen some people thinking it's the P5MC, but the P5MC does not have a mole AFAIK. However, Ryoji (p3 death kid w/e) does have a mole on that spot, so my suspicion isn't going anywhere

Spoiler:

ryoji's mole is in a completely different spot, right under his left eye. the mole shown on the P5MC would be typically covered by his bigass glasses or his mask, which is why we don't really see it

Spoiler:

Er... if you look really closely, isn't the mole you guys are talking about actually a drop of sweat?

possibly. it's hard to tell b/c it's pretty small

Currently, I'm trying to discern if the new velvet room attendants are male or female.

They both have feminine hairstyles, but...

My money is on their gender being "yes".
