Welcome to the All-Purpose Shin Megami Tensei: Persona topic! Here, one can discuss the Persona series, seek help from others, and share their love for this series!


(wow hello im too lazy and uncommitted to the site to write an essay and have forgotten about this topic so just leaving this OP)

Even if it's a WIP, very nice summary of the first few games!

I really can't convince myself to do more research on persona 1 and 2 don't know why

Won't be working on this again until at the very least being this weekend. Sick and don't feel like doing a lot of work

Bumping this again, will attempt to finish this soon.

Hopefully we'll get more P5 footage soon, or even Famitsu interviews about the gameplay because we had really little explanation of it other than the lore stuff. And because I don't think anyone wants to talk about that (not really)crossover which is closer to Persona than SMT.

I expect February to be the month we finally get more gameplay and the release date we've been dying for. Hopefully they'll show off the two hidden characters in the last trailer.

Atlus’ Katsura Hashino (Persona series)

We’ll safely release Persona 5 in 2016… I think.

Apparently there's new P5 stuff in an interview with Hashino in the newest issue of Persona Magazine. Some fans are trying to translate it but thought I'd give a heads up in advance; other than that there's just some strange tidbits about how Ann will become the "life of the party" and whatnot but there's nothing final.

Edit: heeere it iiis

Dungeons being less random-with-gimmick is always welcome, more stuff about how they're going to subvert all the cliches on phantom thief stories, apparently Ann is more important than she seems and Morgana kinda holds feelings of wanting to show offf?

Bumpity bump! According to Persona Central, they've hired a bunch of new people this year for P5. People are whining because this means delay, BUT the main person shown is doing UI which we clearly have had for two years now - so make no mistake, these people are for optimization.
That or make it less cluttered since she mentions making it more intuitive.

Can't wait for P5 news. We really need it soon, since that delay didn't seem like one if they were extremely backtracked and needed to optimize the game.

Holy crap, someome just figured out the first two bosses from the random screenshots and PV3 footage. It's in the subreddit but I'm on a hurry can't post the link now.



Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Megat...gets_confirmed/. Thought it was a leak at first, but nope, it was put together from the hints in Famitsu. Don't click if you don't want early spoilers

Morgana is still going on the stream but TRAILER

There's also a dozen other trailers, 20th anniversary, and a ton of Morgana talking.
Release date is 2 weeks before FFXV. To everyone's wallets:

We'll only know durinf E3.

Yep, was confirmed a while ago when we got the localization announcement. I'm so excited for this.

Famitsu Scans!

Adieu lady's persona js just a gun monster and armor lady's a bike with a face. Don't make us choose Soejima these designs are too good. Credit goes to users in r/megaten. Translations are up on Personacentral, but can't link them right now.



Here finally got home, translatios from Famitsu. Dengeki Playstation also has scans(here), but apparently there's nothing much new from these either.

I want a Milady avatar but her artwork and screenshots are too wide for 100x100 :C Same issue with Johannes and Makoto, as cool as bike persona avatar would be.

edit: screw it Milady avatar from the Dengeki Playstation scans.

I've just given up on attempting to finish up this All-Purpose haha, but I still like using this for discussion. 2016 baby, let's go.

Official website update on the three new party members.

As seen in the comments,there's no way Makoto 2 isn't Priestess since the tarot card is her persona already, unless Atlus has a trick up its sleeve. Nice touch with Necronomicon being a UFO for its unknown power too, since the Old Ones are more or less aliens.

It's also hilarious to see people complaining two of the personas are inanimate objects. It's rather have that and well designed than Kintoki-Douji and the P4 version of Susanoo, thanks. The only issue I really see is with Joanna since Makoto has to physically move her around(as seen in the trailer). Kind of a disavantage since she'll be a sitting duck on top if it while everyone else can keep their distance.

Only 250 more days! Hah...hah*goes to sulk in a corner*

I've been really behind on news, whoops. No links on hand though, phone once again.

Three of the social links have been revealed - we don't fully know how it'll work, but two are shopkeepers, meaning you'll make more use of their relationship.

Tons of spoilery gameplay of the first dungeon, though not at the boss.

With the japanese release closing in, things are getting spoilery. We actually have a part of the game's prologue,but because I take Persona spoilers pretty darn seriously, you won't be gettting that from me.

In the other hand, Morganamobile and special dungeons.



And the full intro for P5, which honestly isn't too different from what we saw except a small bit with Futaba and the other girls.



There's also a ton of 30-second small videos from yesterday's Take the Treasure event, but they're all Cooperations and side minigames.

sees the Morganamobile.."just to confirm I'm not the only who saw a cat transform into a car...I'm not inane am I?"

This game may be insane enough for me to buy it and get back into persona.

There is a god -- wait in SMT that's not a good thing.
Either way, wow, Atlus finally threw Europe a bone. Even if it took the help of someone else, that's a surprise.

Bump time!

Character ads! Subbed links too for viewing pleasure, but watch out for spoilers. There are more videos out there I'm obviously not posting, they have waaaay juicier spoilers, these are all out of context and hard to piece together.



(adding this one since it has Joker's all-out attack like the other ads)



(holy **** Yusuke's voice is way deeper than I expected)



(I hope I'll remember to edit in Ryuji and ~obvious but spoilery 8th party member~ when theirs come out)

Love these so much. In other news, I finally took the time to update the 2nd post with P3 information x)

They also fiiinally officially revealed (this is a really obvious twist but just in case) as the final party member; no Arcana yet.

Edit: Persona 5 the Day Breakers is coming out on Crunchyroll this weekend!
And if *shifty eyes* you know where to look, it's out pretty much everywhere now.

Small spoiler impressions:

Mini-bump this time. Futaba trailer!

Let the spoilers begin, the game is now out in the wild.

Oh boy, time to use the nospoiler tool when watching anything JRPG related. Even forums haven't spoilered me as much on stuff as youtube thumbnails at the Recomended Videos.

Just ordered my import copy, should be shipping out later today or tomorrow and I'll be getting it this week <3

Congrats! I don't even have a playstation so I'm waiting for friends to get it next year or an LP; as long as I don't go where the spoilers are frequently I hopefully can survive these 150 days.

Well I won't be able to pick this game up anytime soon but it's on my list though I doubt I will be able to avoid the spoilers I have that kinda luck with me.

I got spoiled the bad ending and who the traitor is (kinda obvious) the day the game started being dumped At least the true ending is still unspoiled for me <3

I'm just taking the usual precautions - only read the frontlage of r/megaten for funposts and never scroll down, don't go too far on r/all either (someone gave a heads up that r/4chan was purposefully spoiling), and use nospoiler for every video related to it so Youtube doesn't get ideas. As of now, only got spoiled on some character I haven't seen yet, on Gematsu comments because Disqus sucks at hiding pictures without an account - but even then, no context so hopefully didn't lose much.

Welp, my copy got delayed since Play-Asia didn't get their shipment of Asian copies in :-) Estimated Shipping Date is now October 6th

That actually sucks that you got spoiled at all same happen to me a little spoiler about what happens during the Christmas event which I think had some extra females in thier.

Only SiivaGunner to help us through these harsh times. Nospoiler link to keep any surprises from the related videos, I know Youtube already tried to throw some P5 speculation videos and I just mash the Not Interested button in hopes it won't do worse.

I'm loving the game so far. The first dungeon has an amazing design, and the second dungeon is pretty damn great. I'm in love with the OST, gameplay, and surprisingly navigating through the game without knowing Japanese isn't that difficult.

Oh boy, with both this and Skylanders to avoid, it's gonna be a tough week :I

Good luck, steer clear of the Wiki's for the series and /r/Persona5 and /r/MegaTen.

r/megaten works for just their frontpage, but yeah, anything that's tagged or less than 2 hours old(which usually is enough for the mods to discover) I don't click. Especially since people were mentioning there that r/4chan took a liking to spreading spoilers, so it's not even entirely their fault.

English VA revealed, can't say I particularly like the Protagonists voice..

Oh my god Xander keeps getting good roles this year, Smash feels so far now.

Team voice cast:

Quote: Sauce

Xander Mobus as the protagonist
Cassandra Morris as Morgana
Max Mittelman as Ryuji Sakamoto
Erika Harlacher as Ann Takamaki
Matt Mercer as Yusuke Kitagawa
Cherami Leigh as Makoto Niijima
Erica Lindbeck as Futaba Sakura
Xanthe Huynh as Haru Okumura
Robbie Daymond as Goro Akechi

So Persona 5 is delayed to April 5th, which is annoying for many. I hope as the game gets played by as many people as possible and have their minds at ease without fear. Here's some other trailers just in case.













Makoto Niijima's my favourite.

Well, there's dual audio free DLC now, but now we don't have the Valentines' Day date anymore :c

Apparently Persona 5 is gonna have 50% more voiced dialogue than Persona 4 Golden, also here's how everyone favourite waifu Futaba sounds in the english dub.

Less than a week before Persona 5 comes out! April 4th to be exact. I do hope they have a guidebook available because it would be much convenient to check what Personas I need to get into order to fuse them to become whatever Persona tickles my fancy.

IGN's given it a 9.7 but that's no surprise, Metro-GameCentral gave it a 9/10 (despite their routine disdain for other JRPGs), lots of 9s, lots of 10, blah blah blah. Sadly, people are once again attacking The Jimquistion website for Laura K. Buzz's review which gave Persona 5 an 8.5/10, which is still a pretty damn good score. It's been over 10 years since Gamespot gave Twilight Princess an 8.8 and nobody has learned that whining over scores makes you a big baby and being shamed as a collective.

Apparently you're the worst person never if you don't parrot other reviews regardless of one's own preferences or faults of the game itself that others ignore because of the name brand. Persona is always slow at the start and that's not for everyone.

These so-called true hardcore gamers say 'We want ethics in journalism!' What they really mean is 'We want everyone to give this game a 10/10 regardless of how they feel and a 0/10 for a game we decided to rage about!'.

I won't be able to play Persona 5 'til the summer but I might beat it before these people as they'll whine about the score forever.
