Every major dungeon is called a Palace in Persona 5, which are manifestations of our unconscious thoughts. So let's say you view your home as a Castle for some reason and the thought was very powerful, in the Metaverse it will actually become a castle, then when jumping into Metaverse (which is how Persona 5's characters get their costumes and powers), the characters of Persona 5 can reach this location where a different version of you must be defeated to save you from this false reality you created for yourself.

Mementos is a train station palace that isn't one person's palace but the collective consciousness of everyone else who doesn't have their own palace. If that makes sense...

Overall, I'm okay with Mementos, but the Casino Palace would have been more fun & fitting IMO.

Ok, it made sense, thanks! I hope to play it if it comes to the Switch.

Damn, I really wanted the stage to be Joker's room with the occasional cameo sitting in the bed.

They can still have cameos of the rest of the cast ala Green Hill Zone.

I'm curious what the actual stage platform is going to look like if this is what we're getting. Is it going to be a flat stage with subway hazard? Monsters? A basic Battlefield stage floating above the dungeon? Maybe they'd go crazy and have you fight atop one of the subways as it speeds around ala Big Blue.

Joker being in Smash has no bearing on whether Persona 5 is going to come to Switch but the idea that he's in Smash because of Persona Q2 is laughable. You're talking about game that won't even sell 200k worldwide.

They would have just gone with Flynn from SMTIV if that was the case.

It's still going to get a marketing push thanks to Joker.

In retrospect, did we get anything special for Ryu/Cloud in Smash 4?
I just want this thing announced already lol.

Also don't compare Smash 4, Nintendo specifically picked the extra characters this time not Sakurai. Huge difference.

A remix version of this... Man this was the most boring song in the whole game's soundtrack. The most exciting thing about this song was entering room by room and hearing the train sound whoosh by once in a while.

Just give me:
Life Will Change (+ Remix of it)
Beneath the Mask
Rivers in the Desert
Wake up, Get out, Get out there
Last Surprise

And I'll be good. (Though if they add Persona 3 and 4 music that would be hype).

How does it have no bearing?

Nintendo picked him and he is the protagonist for P5.

That's definitely a smoke situation. People thinking this means nothing or this is about the 3DS game don't get cross promotion.

Memento was obvious. You pass a lot of time there, it's fitting with the "city's modern life's neurosis" theme of the game, it's on point imo. I like it. They can add some fun hazard like the train, it should be fun honestly.

The casino might be more iconic but most likely because it's part of the intro of the game. Depends on what we prefer from the game. The thieves theme ? Then yeah the casino. The modern's life monotony theme ? Then yeah the memento
For me it's the memento ! I'm happy with it.

I still don't understand why Erdrick is four separate characters, two of which aren't even Erdrick.

Wouldn't it be funny if you fight on top of the cat van the entire time in the Mementos stage? I wanted the casino, but if the mementos stage had that van, I would be all for it.

Mementos is so boring of a choice, ugh. The music selection better be decent.

There was Ultra Street Fighter II, although that was obviously a very token effort.

That's real interesting. This isn't the game Platnium was helping with development, right? Any other info on it?

That's by Arcsys. It has been confirmed for a while, but also had been rumored for a while, which is why people didn't point to it as proof for that leak.

I still don't understand why Erdrick is four separate characters, two of which aren't even Erdrick.

He might be called just a generic "Hero" or "Brave", like the codename and a recent figure.

Probably will be just like Bowser jr.

Bowser Jr. at least shares like 75% of its model as the vehicle, it only really swaps out the heads.

The difference between OG Erdrick, Anlucia, and DQXI's hero is enormous. It'd be like squashing every Fire Emblem character into different alternates for one sword user.

I might purchase DLC for the first time in my life if all that DQ stuff is true.

Would be the most exposure DQ has gotten in the west ever in its 30 year history by a mile.

I believe in Erdrick but Mementos was the most obvious stage pick for him lol. That's like predicting Last Surprise will be one of the songs.

Add "Whims of Fate" (no remix) to that list too.

I hope Erdrich (and lots of DQ goodness) makes the cut!
