    Rumor has it that P5 details will hit Famitsu this week(as in today).

    My body is not ready for that yet.

    What do you guys think they'll reveal first? My guess would be the main character (plus his Persona?) and the general setting.

    How... how is that supposed to make sense? Rise was specifically no good at combat, and neither was her Persona.

    Who cares about sense, it's a) Rise with an IK and b) P4U2.

    That's definitely P4U2 livery behind Rise, FWIW to the rumor.

    I just tried to imagine what it would be like, and got a mental image of Rise scanning Kanji's strengths and weaknesses before he beats her senseless with a chair.

    I hope they go ham with it. IK: King's Game - Rise drunkenly produces a red chopstick. "PERrrRRSOONNAAAAAAA!" Himiko comes out and Rise staggers over to the opponent, launching them high into the air with one swing of a chopstick. "The King's word is law!" The Fog guitar riff hits. The opponent spins around in the air for a while, before landing, impaling themselves on Himiko's antenna.

    "Good thing there's something even I can handle!"

    FINISH!

    The real kicker is when Fuuka is announced. She just punches weakly once, summons her Persona, and wins by default as nothing can hurt her.

    There was a reddit post last week that had a leaked release date from Bestbuy (9/16). The bullets also stated that Rise and Ken were new characters.

    Funny part was, people were saying the website must have been wrong because there's no possible way Rise would be a playable character. So much for all the people hoping for the P3 MC to be a new character.

    Thanks for all the commentary guys, but I guess I don't understand what the difference between SMT, Persona and Devil Summoner and all that is. They're all under the SMT umbrella right? Kind of like Final Fantasy has its name on many things?

    Digital Devil Saga is the best SMT game.

    I recommend boycotting ATLUS until they release Digital Devil Saga HD Remastered collection for the PS3/PSVita with cross-save.

    That's right ATLUS. Release a portable HD version of DDS or else no one will ever buy your games anymore because I said so!!!

    Also make a second series of DDS games.

    Eventually, replace all of your SMT IPs with DDS.

    Finally playing P3P thanks to a friend. It's...okay I guess. Definitely way better than either PS2 version. And the S.Link changes for the girl MC are great.

    I'd buy it, but I know they had some issues getting DDS to work on the PS3.

    Also, does the PS3 version of P3: FES still have save glitches?

    So apparently every character can switch personas in Persona Q.

    Self-imposed challenge: Beat the game with every character using Mara only.

    So judging from the description, the name of the attack, and the screenshot Rise's Instant Kill is her singing this
    http://youtu.be/6R0vUAkEeZQ

    They also said there's 2 sides to story mode (P3 side and P4 side), something called Golden Arena, and a "DLC scenario". Golden Arena is supposedly similar to Abyss mode in one of the Blazblue games; you can level up, increase your stats, fight bosses, and S.Link with your navigators who give you skills/buffs.

    So I'm confused.

    Was the new P5 info actually new fighting game info?

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    I don't think there was a set time on P5 info, just "soon".

    My daughter is going to main Rise, I am just saying that now

    I thought it was more or less confirmed that p5 info/media would be pretty scant until dance/q/ suplex are all out, clearing the board for a full p5 marketing push?

    if not confirmed, it could certainly be assumed. just too far away from launch for them to do more than a couple teaser images.

    I'd expect to start seeing at least minor stuff after q/p4u2 really. Dance seems a bit too late in the year to start releasing info if they're still going for a Winter release.

    It wouldn't be a modern Persona game without someone to bear the burden of making terrible puns. Cat puns are not the worst option.

    Since they said they wanted Persona 5 to be more realistic and mature I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get any ninja dogs/bullshit robot girls/anthropomorphic animal mascots.
