Nothing amazing so far. So here's some fanart for no good reason.

For Kindness
The top hat is kind of silly.
Perhaps a sign that P5's story and characters won't be edgy-incarnate like some seem to be hoping for.
For waiting.

Isn't that like a character design sin? Keep in mind I only played P3 FES and VANILLA P4, so maybe they added something in Golden.
>>93553551
its a good choice though because it perfectly sums up todays streamIt pleases my autism
>>93553525
This is wrong though clearly he wants Yu's cock in his pussy. MC is the dominated not the dominant.
>Yosuke is the most popular
WHAT?
For positive thinking
>>93553525
He is the lazy fuck type in a way that makes me thing he probably moves as much as a dead fish in bed.
>>93553576
THEY SAID WE COULDN'T
BUT WE MADE THE LIST
>>93553576
She isn't real, proof pic related
Also FOREHEAD
>>93553525
He is. When you fuck Yukari afterwards she really really hopes nobody heard what they were doing in her room.Junpei heard everything.
Going by some the of the reactions in Persona 4. Yu is an excellent lover as well. Potter-kun is gonna have to slay some christmas cake pussy to beat them.
>>93553576
No.
>>93553636
Official art confirms it. Cock or monster, it's obvious he isn't willing to put up a fight. I bet he could be gangraped and he would just take it.
>>93553734
She has just the right amount of forehead, she also has the cutest face.
I got something to confessI never finished Persona Q, I stopped at evil club
>>93553576
>tfw top ten girl
>>93553616
It's generally accepted in games with strong soundtracks thst the OST is what the character listens to. IE: TWEWY.
>>93553692
>>93553636
I don't know, anons. I can jut imagine him dominating in bed, taking matters into his own hands as he's wont to do.
>>93553738
>He has a threesome with Liz and Margaret while Igor watches and Marie writes a poem about it.
>>93553907
NOOOOO WAY
why did you stop though
For Perfect Girl!
>>93553738
>Implying it wasn't just Yukari jumping in his cock and making noises all by herself while he laid there listening to his headphones.
>>93553616
Arena comfirmed he listens to Linkin Park and Nickleback
>>93553907
I never got more than a few hours in. Fortunately I anticipated that and borrowed a copy from a friend just to confirm.
I'm just tired of the old crews. Need new characters.
>>93553961
>>93554010
Its one of those cases where you put a game down and never picks it up again
So now we have confirmation that Naoto is better than Rise. And since Chiefags have mental problems, we can safely say that Naoto is best girl.
>>93553931
You sure are fagging for MC aren't you anon?
>>93554048
>this much delusion
MY
SIDES
>>93553931
>taking matters into his own hands
That sounds more like Yu. MC just does whatever he is told to. So unless if you ask him to be on top he will probably just wait for you to do him.
>>93553993
What would he listen to,though? Neverending BABYBABY loop?
>>93553732
>>93553910
hell yea
>>93553910
>tfw only top ten because Atlus would have been embarrased were she not anywhere to be seen after getting her own anime
>>93553931
Still, it's a big part visually of their design, so it should be a big part of their character and who they are. Yet neither of them ever even mention music. I'm not looking for Akihiko levels of protein as in PQ but still, a few lines here and there about music and what it means to them are more than required.
>>93554048
Chiefags may have mental problems, but Naoto herself has mental problems.
Rise is best.
chia wants beef in her pudding
>>93554048
Both Chie and Naoto are shit though.

Still love that Adachi got 3rd.
If MC is so strong why did he died?
>>93554424

i dun believe it
>>93554485
Cause his "friends" don't love him enough. Except for Liz.

>>93554485
He was too cute for the living.
>>93554485
Because it was the only way to get Death out of him.
This is proof that Rise is canonically a huge and shameless whore
Is anyone else worried that the characters in P5 might be weak, or parodied in a way?
Soejima talked about when designing PQ and how characters have changed over the years, and like originally Elizabeth wore a pink dress, which isn't a thing she would've done years ago. Likewise both P3 and P4 protags had personalities that were in a way inspired by the community. And how he has a secret new role in P5.
With how the Arena games were and how PQ ones were parodies of themselves do you think Atlus has the potential to make another game in the same league as the old ones?
Does anyone else share this fear?
>>93553993
I don't know, none of the p3 or p4 girls seem to be the types to ride dick.
>>93554424
fucking awesome
Fifteen hour mark soon
Why the fuck do Chie, Teddie, and Naoto get so many fucking lines in these spin offs?
Jesus Christ shut the fuck up.
BURN MY BREAD
>>93554802
cept for Rise
>>93554782
Honestly if they're taking the same approach as they did with P4 I'm a little worried too.
>>93554424
Delicious tears
>>93554802
None of the P3 girls seem to be the type to fuck MC outside optionals S.Link anyway.
P4 girls have nothing to do with MC and Yu is competent enough to give them a good fuck.
>>93554150
Fair point. That said, I can try and make a pretty asspull-y justification for both.
>MC
His headphones are more about his isolation from the outside world/other people, a trait it takes the whole game (through the story and SLinks) to get over. In this sense his music doesn't matter as long as the intended effect - cutting other people off - works.
>Yosuke
More of an asspull, but you can say that Yosuke, coming from a city like Yu, places more of an importance on fashion (or at least the fashion of where he came from) and it's rather popular these days to wear your headphones like he does. Plus, he works in/is connected with Junes, and it shows his moderate affluence.
>>93554782
Whoops. Meant to say that Liz wore a pink dress in PQ when originally he imagined her as a snooty, up tight woman that barely talked to the MC. And how her character has changed due to the community.
>>93554782
I see what you're saying, but I get solace in the fact that they're self-aware of their "two game reset" tendency. They know the jump from P2 to P3 was big, so they feel the need to make a noticeable jump from P5 from P4. Which is all I really want, something that ISN'T just more of the same. I want P5 to be unique in it's own way.
>>93554782
I am worried that we're going to start seeing tropes. We've already been having the Lisa/Eikechi, Junpei/Yukari, and Yosuke/Chie relationships for a while
>>93554818
>liking marie
why do you exist
>>93554424
Nice. The top 3 are my Ultimax mains so I can't complain.
Also holy shit this song is funky

>>93555151
Marie was my waifu during my first playthrough of persona 4 golden. Come at me. I do however feel disgust at the golden anime
1/2
>>93554734
She can consume my dick any day.
>>93554782
Not at all.
After milking/constantly making new games for the same characters in P3/4, they have to play with the characters and themes a little to keep it fresh.
>>93555115
We all do, but the sad truth is that P4 is more popular than it deserves to be, and seeing that the Nips have shit taste and hate change I doubt it'll be that big of a jump
Im in love with Rise Kujikawa
>>93554782
>>93555067
>and like originally Elizabeth wore a pink dress, which isn't a thing she would've done years ago
Liz in PQ is a direct reference to Trish from P1/2, who was a fairy wearing a pink nurse outfit, like Lizs, and would hang out in dungeons to heal the party for butt loads of money in 2 and for pennies in 1. Liz even says the token "the world runs on give and take" line doesnt she?
Chie isa poor man's Ritsu
At least visually. Personality wise they're different enough.
>>93554782
Well the game is fanservice and the story is merely an excuse for it
Character progression is not possible because it wouldn't make sense. Thats why the characters feel so stale.
The games dialogues are almost completely focused on comedy, thats why some of the characters become one-liner machines
>>93555520
>the token tomboy looks like other token tomboys
Stop the presses
>>93555253
the golden anime ALMOST made her likeable, so I don't get what you're saying. She was outright terrible in golden
>>93555719
>the golden anime ALMOST made her likeable
this is bait
anyone have the new "logo" thing from the stream today
>>93555719
>this
On my first playthrough of Golden I didn't even finish her S. Link, I hated her so much
>>93555719
MARIE IS AWESOME
>>93555719
>>93555769
Well I gave her the benefit of the doubt, so I was okay with her being fucking annoying in the first few episodes
however at one point I realized that she still isnt going to change for the better, thats why I said "almost"
>>93555831
She makes Asuka look like a friendly angel, because she's such a bitch
>>93554828
Because they're best girls.
>>93555927
keep crying
>>93555719
blessed Hanakana makes all the difference. also and/or localization.
in the anime she was more deadpan and detached than just generic shitty tsundere.
>>93556054
nope she was still a shitty tsundere
havent you fuckers watched golden at all? jesus christ
>>93556149
yea we did DID YOU ?
>>93556149
At like 4x speed, so yeah....
>>93555325
>After milking/constantly making new games for the same characters in P3/4, they have to play with the characters and themes a little to keep it fresh.
I think it's more a case of with P3/4, the characters are done. They had their arcs. When you make a spin-off of established characters you don't really have anywhere else to go. Maybe if they gave a spin-off to a character we didn't know very well, like Theo or something, there'd be new ground to tread.
With P5, it's fresh characters who need to be fleshed out first. You can't exaggerate a character until that character actually has a personality to exaggerate.
People are going to complain that P5 has a bunch of cliches though, to which I will reply: Welcome to the world of fiction. Everything has been done, everything's a cliche, and there is nothing new under the sun. All that matters is if it manages to be entertaining in doing so.
>>93556149
I doubt it. They all think with their dicks and are oblivious to bad characterization
>>93555814
it's in the OP image
So honestly. Do you think DAN will be good at all? Or will it only be good as fan service
>>93556420
Both.
Best game in the series with a 4 next to it.
>>93556420
It will be the best Atlus game ever.
>>93556420
Best Atlus game since Jack Bros
>>93556420
It'll be a great game. I just wish it would come out for PS4, everyday I'm more convinced to get one
>>93555473
I honestly thought the lyrics were
