History VideoGame / Persona5

''Persona 5'' is an UrbanFantasy RolePlayingGame {{Spinoff}} of the popular ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' {{JRPG}} franchise, made by Creator/{{Atlus}}' [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona P-Studio]] for {{PlayStation 3}} and {{PlayStation 4}}. It marks the first new numbered entry in the ''Persona'' franchise following Creator/{{Sega}}'s purchase of Atlus in 2013, and the first time a main entry in the ''Persona'' series will launch on multiple consoles.

Originally announced by Atlus in August ''2011'', and then officially revealed for [=PS3=] in November 2013, with the [=PS4=] release being anounced on September 1st 2014. The story deals with hardships of modern-day society and feature characters that are restrained by the rules set by this society. As a result, players will be confronted with trials and chains that they will have to overcome. Much like the previous installments of the series the game is set in a high school - however, the mood and tone will be different. ''Persona 5'' director Katsura Hashino has stated that the game is about a kind of freedom that is different from the other games in the series. This freedom is meant to liberate those who "are bored and discontent with their lives". Despite this, Atlus expects and wants players of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' to feel at home with this game. ''Persona 5'' is meant to be an emotional experience that stirs up its audience and finally lets them go with a strong message of catharsis after everything is said and done.

* FanNickname: The protagonist has been dubbed "Chair-kun" by fans, referring to the games chair theme and opposing to the Persona 3 Protagonist's "Door-kun."

* InvertedTrope: Director Hashino mentioned in a [[http://www.siliconera.com/2014/09/01/persona-5-director-hashino-another-message-fans/ post-reveal interview]] that the "setting" is inverted from ''Persona 4'', with a large-city life focus on high-school students. Since the official website shows only ''five'' chairs with chains (with one [[http://persona5.jp suspiciously broken]] post-reveal), [[WildMassGuessing there's speculation that there will only be five protagonists as well, including the MC]], a rather drastic inversion from 4's ''eight'' core protagonists.

* OncePerEpisode: A high school student takes a train into town, just like in the openings of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''

* TechnicolorFire: In the first trailer, an otherworldly blue flame can be seen in the distance once [[TimeStandStill time stops]].
* TimeStandStill: In the first trailer, everyone in a crowded intersection freezes, other than the black haired boy with glasses.

* FrozenInTime: In the first trailer, everyone in a crowded intersection freezes, other than the black haired boy with glasses.

* TechnicolorFire: In the first trailer, an otherworldly blue flame can be seen in the distance once everyone becomes FrozenInTime.
