Animation looks weird at parts. You can hear someone talking at parts, but the mouths don't move as if this was supposed to be a visual novel.

While I can't get into Persona I love SMT and I always at least appreciate their art direction and style but something about this is just....not looking good? It's like there's no consistency to designs or something idk. I genuinely hate looking at it lol.
Hope people enjoy, though. I'll be happy with SMTV:V

Its always such an afterthought in Persona but damn. I was hoping they'd evolve that system.
Preorders will open up elsewhere eventually, but of course Gamestop will still be around in October
you can preorder it at videogamesplus.ca, its a Canadian site but they ship worldwide
Fire Emblem Three Houses looking ass graphics. What was the budget for this? Looks interesting beyond that though.
So instead of no queer romance option they decide to just scrap the whole romance? Hm.. Progress?
Given the context of the game, that makes sense. You seem to mostly interact with people to rally them to your cause and ideal. The harem thing would be so weird lol.
Also it seems there is you the player and the MC, they are separate. Apparently you, the player, give answers but the MC can also gives his input. Can't remember the source for this, so it on X.
Will be getting this one later down the line... maybe in a couple of years once it's cheaper. But it looks so amazing.
Also I've only played P5 but the romance was really minimal to begin with so I don't feel too bad with it removed altogether

I'm kinda getting interested in this game after the overview, this is great to know too.
Yeah, this is me. It looks good, but I know that it would look even better with the definitive version.
now knowing that the game only uses real-time combat for enemies that are lower level than the player, keeping the full turn-based combat for all other fights, I rewatched the trailer and man, the trailer just is not helping getting this information across. All it shows is the real-time combat. There might be snippets of the turn-based combat somewhere in there, but it would only be for certain attack animations, and shit is just super unclear.
There is likely to be more trailers for this game, so it's not the end of the world, but still, I feel like Atlus did a real disservice to themselves with the footage that they chose for this trailer. After seeing it yesterday, I had basically completely written off the game because of that.
Hopefully they show the real combat system more in-depth in the remaining trailers before the game launches.

Is a king even a king without a harem?
/s lol
I'm honestly here for no romance options, even if I do enjoy it as an option in the Persona games.
Kinda weird to see so many people upset about lack of romance options as it's one of my least favorite parts of the persona games. P3Reload adding platonic paths for links was a huge step in the right direction for me.
4 and 5 also had platonic paths though. Only 3 before reload forced romance if you did a girl's social link.
People that are happy about there not being romance are weirder to me because you can just not do it if you don't want to.
I mean every Persona romance game reminded me queerness doesn't begin till after high school or something so idk :')
But then again your right most romance in these games are boring to me anyway
No romances is a huge bummer but not a dealbreaker.
It's strange because in some respects they are leaning hard into the Persona DNA and in others they are firmly walking away from them. Which is fine, of course, but I'm curious how the final thing will feel as an evolution of their past work.
And like... romances are fun in video games. People like them.
I actually had an idea for a thread about this but scrapped it because it felt too aimless once I wrote it all down. lol
But that aside, I do agree with you. The trailers for this game have not done a great job at selling it. I'm also kinda confused at why all the trailers act like the game isn't releasing on Playstation. I get that Xbox has the marketing rights in some kind of deal but I've never seen that result in them actively NOT listing Playstation in the videos on Atlus' channel directly. I keep seeing people not even realizing the game is multi-platform. This whole marketing for this title has been weird.

Why does everyone always default to calling it some kind of "harem thing" when talking about romance options in these games? Every Persona release since the original P3 has discouraged any type of cheating. The vast majority of players pick one romance and stick with it.

tbf the previous trailers clearly showed turn-based combat and this one was tied to a presentation that goes into detail on how it works.

that moving ship on the sand really fooled me 😂
kinda dissapointed but still excited
No romance makes sense if the S-Links are supposed to be political allies. This opens the door to party members potentially having canon love interests in the story so it's not bad.
My general thoughts. Not having them all be available as options for the protag to woo means they can allow the characters to actually have agency outside of the players desires in ways that actually matter to the character. In my experience, Persona has largely not been good at balancing this, so from this perspective, It's preferred for me.
I'm personally glad to hear there are no romantic S.Links either--if romance was optional, it would mean many of them would have to be written with that in mind, meaning they'd still have to focus significantly on the MC's and the other character's personal relationship specifically.
Now we might get S.Links that explore the politics and ethics and philosophies of the game's world through the lens of the MC and the S.Link characters, which I think sounds much more interesting, not to mention character stories and arcs that focus potentially solely on the S.Link characters themselves, so more in-depth and involved character arcs are a possibility. Of course it's hardly a guarantee and we might still get the exact same sort of stuff the Persona games have had since 3, just without the blushy-crushies at the end, but I'm a bit more optimistic now.
And this, too. Like, I love a good romance as much as anyone, but I want it to feel like it matters, I don't want any more of the hollow fantasies the Persona games offer.

Really. With p5 engine they could at least try to develop a switch1 version. Anyway l Will probabily buy for ps5 if switch2 Will be really far off as It seems
They are a big reason why games like Persona and Fire Emblem blew up. People like that stuff.
They like it not just in JRPGs, Baldurs Gate 3 and for a time Bioware games I feel it's fair to say that some significant part of that popularity is cause of basically romance implementation.
It's kinda funny cause I feel there is def this association of romance type stuff at least for me to the VN roots and it being a niche thing but always kinda remind myself that nah if the package around it is appealing it seems like it's an element in games that does a lot for player investment.
Yeah I have a good ear for it and those accents are definetly authentic . I'm so happy we are at a point now where Japanese games can easily have authentic British dubs if they want British accents .
Do you have actual proof of this? Because this seems very hard to believe given there are no negative consequences for romancing multiple characters in these games.
Hot take, this is pretty messy and is visually overstimulating.
I see, thank you. This makes me wonder if Atlus is an exception or it will be the same for Sonic X Shadow Generations (and Banana Rumble if it gets a PS4 release later).

Fuck me the trumpets. Meguro always kills it.
The showcase was pretty interesting. I like how versatile the party could potentially be. I just hope the battle system is suitably dynamic. There wasn't much strategy to late-game fights in Persona 5.
