Yeah, college would be cool because you can focus so much more about what a person wants to do in life instead of just being a high school kid.

I know it'll never happen but I agree. College would be the best American equivalent for this sort of thing. Of course, we know Atlus goes Japan first with this sort of stuff, so it's only a pipedream...
 
So that's it? No secret third announcement? Just DAN and P5?

I mean, I'm happy with those. But. But an entire segment they out aside. Why. ;_;
 
P4DAN gameplay and release date please! Btw anyone got a jist of the translation as to what the "news anchor said"?

Nothing special - just a fake news report on the P5 poster. Saying it appeared in the papers, seems to be advance warning of something, pointed out the "Take Your Heart" logo, and said Atlus intended to carry out the show anyway.
 
12 HOURS FOR THAT!??!?!?!?

Have you seen nodame cantabile?

College in japan is pretty kawaii.

Also can go the honey and clover route where college is depressing as fuck.

Persona can be pretty angsty at times. I think they could balance out the college realm just fine. I'll have to check out nodame now.
 
That's kind of my point, though. P3 and P4 break away from the more literal psychological metaphor of the original games. That's not necessarily a knock, just an observation.

It does get a bit clumsy in P4, though, where you have stuff like
Rise talking about how there is no "real me" and that she's a multifaceted person with many different sides and masks she wears which is clearly a callback to the Jungian idea of Personas, but the entirety of her personality is manifested in one Persona at a time.

Ah, I see. Well, they have certain elements of it but yeah, they changed a lot of the details with their take on it. Rise's take wasn't directly related to personas though, lol.

I don't think they're always shown meeting him, but don't all the P1(?)/P2 characters play the Persona Game at some point? And going by EP's PSP bonus scenario, people don't always explicitly recall 'meeting' Philemon even though the Persona Game seems to trigger subconsciously meeting him (Shiori blocks out/denies the memory and her Persona.)

Been ages with those two, I don't really recall now, lol.

Sounds like they're basically telling us that they have a narrative styled reveal for Super Live
 
So, what are people expecting in terms of P5 news?

What I expect: Small narrative trailer revealing a small portion of the cast and giving us an idea of what the game is about.

What I want: Full cast reveal, gameplay trailer, narrative tease and theme song reveal

What I'd be most happy with: Honestly, if we get the theme song reveal and a small trailer, I'll be ecstatic.

I find it hard to believe that, re: Rise - Persona 4, unlike Persona 3, leans really hard into the Jung shit to the point where Golden literally includes a whole series of lectures on it. I feel like it's a case where the gameplay and story/themes don't really line up.
