Persona 5

That's right. Persona 5 is in the works. Personally, I am very excited as I love Persona 3 and 4. (Tried to play P1 and didn't particularly enjoy it.)

Anyways, I decided to make this thread in anticipation of P5. Feel free to discuss it and share any info you may have on it. Or just discuss it and Persona in general.

~OMG P5,can't wait.....,what platform is it,Ps3,Xbox????~

Nothing certain. PS3 is rumored of course. (Personally I don't see it going any other way.) I think one of the articles mentioned some kind of speculated PSP release.

~what is the diffrent between P3/pes and P3portable??~

By "P3/pes" I assume you mean FES. FES was an update to the original P3 game. New Personas, a new social link, and some new scenes and dialogue. There was also the previously unreleased "The Answer" story. This is an epilogue to P3 where you play as Aigis.

I haven't played P3P yet, but from what I've read it has (of course) a playable female protagonist and with that slightly different social link stories and a new, male version of Elizabeth named Theodore, updated battle system (no more MARIN FUCKIN KARIN), and even more new scenes. (Apparently Yukiko Amagi from P4 is one of them.) This entry does NOT include "The Journey" though. Also new music. Which is great because Shoji Meguro makes great music in my opinion.

~so many chara is changed,i think this game worth to played,thanks for the info~

No problem. This is what I made the thread for.

Fak.... didn't expect that! Good stuff, must keep up to date with this so i can buy it right away O_o!

I'm pretty sure it's going to be in a Sony console. Probably PS3. Well I'm glad it's not going to be on the damn wii...

~yes,i hope not wii,it's realy hard to use that console/machine~

I just hope that it's not fro the 360 or the fucking Wii...

sigh this is the only reason i regret having no money for a ps3 right now. I mean i have all the series but this will be missing from my library. God damn it!!

This is the best news one could possibly hear first thing in the morning.

I can wait for this game for years, as long as it means that they will keep up the quality, or 1up it. If they do, it will be fan-fucking-tastic.


So far so good.

I like where the series is going. Always upping the ante and stuff. This could possibly lead to disappointment though, high expectations being not met etc.

btw, this:


Will prolly mean we will get more traitors, more romance, more end-of-the-world-plots.

Maybe change some key plot elements next time? If you compare P3 and P4, the direction the whole story is going is kinda similar. A bit too similar in some spots

mild spoilers

As Ken-kun says:

YES YES YES YES YES

I can't wait for this. o3o

Ah thanks for the rep guys. Also, I'm fine with saving the world again. I mean yeah you had to do it twice, but the way you go about it is so different from each other (in P3 and P4) that it's still fun. SO like I said I'm fine with saving the world again.

P4 spoiler:


The one thing that sticks out in my mind right is the question of "How are they going to dungeons this time?" We had Tartarus and the T.V. so what's next? Also the method of summoning. Personally I like the Evoker, but I also like the card smashing. Hopefully they'll come up with a new way or go back to an old one. AND HOLY SHIT CAMEOS! I hope we get some of those.

I thought of that too when I finished P4. How the new world of shadows will run like.
The evoker gun was kind of a plothole. As far as I remember (and i've recently been replaying P3F), how the evokers are created is not explained. Nor why they has to be used like that (shot to the head). Nor how they learned about how to use them. But if you replay P3, you'll notice that the evoker was not the only plothole around. In fact, there are quite a bunch of them lying all throughout the game, that, despite not being big plotholes, they can make for a much less enjoyable second playthrough (what's been happening to me).
P4 stepped it up a notch and made sure to get rid of the plotholes the best they could. And it did a terrific job at that.
Hopefuly, P5 will be even better. Providing a solid story that is both interesting, captivating, and well designed.

Yeah it was disappointing that there was no explanation for the Evoker. I always just thought that maybe the trauma of shooting yourself (as demonstrated by Yukari) is a good way to summon your persona. Then again that doesn't explain WHAT they are shooting or why it makes the blue glass shattering when they DO shoot. I really wish they would explain all of that. The finer points of the Evoker. It was still bad ass though. As confusing as it is.

Well, it's just how evolution works. At the time it was released it must've looked pretty badass. But upon a little more careful inspection, it had quite a few flaws.
And tartarus takes the cake.
-On the lobby walls you can see that the tower keeps growing and growing; Meaning that the more time passed the bigger the tower would, but it doesn't seem to be the case. It would also mean that the lobby would too rise, but it seems to stay in the same place everytime you go there.
-Why would shadows go out of their home(/tartarus) into town to hurt people (causing the apathy cases)? And how come they don't go through the lobby on their way out? Also, why do they not cause any damage to the stuff around town? After all, they are monsters capable of performing powerful magic spells.
-How come regular floors are always random, but boss floors are not?
-The devices that transport you to/from the entrance, why and how do they work?
-The level design isn't really that big of a deal. Mysterious tower is mysterious.

Those are just some that I remember from the top of my head. I forgot how the later part of the story goes, so I can't be too sure if more stuff that I remember are correct.

Anyways, P4 improved a whole lot with the plotholes as I mentioned, and hopefully in P5 they will do an even better job.
