Persona series

Holy shit he looks great in Goro's colors.

, I stand corrected then. Well, I don't know how Smash handles things, but she could still be a skin added after Royal is released.

According to Smash Wiki, his other costumes reference the main colors of each Persona game and Akechi in both normal and ‘Phantom Thief’ colors.

"Yo Akechi. I stole your costume. :P "

Well this was inevitable.◊

Already posted it myself before. here's the new version : [1]

Oh, those images have been making the rounds since he was announced.

Also, editing, dude, this thread has enough activity that multiple posts are unnecessary.

Random question.

When ever Goro comes up, inevitably the train derailing and the countless dead because of it is mentioned.

I've heard this is a "FFXIII issue" where they made the cutscenes first and added plot later.

Anyone know if that's true? It would fit, they had that train thing - which matters not at fucking all - and then just said "uh...Akechi did it!"

We'd need inside information none of us are privy to in order to confirm that. At best we can just speculate.

That said, it takes a bit more effort to make a traditionally animated cutscene as opposed to a C Gi one, so I find that unlikely.

Are you asking if Goro was responsible for the train de-railing?

I'd assume he was. He was the only one who could actually enter the Meta-verse. Though those scientist dudes seemed to think they could still manipulate things even without him, but that might have actually been Yaldaboth making them think they were more powerful than they really were.

I think it's more like he's pointing out the train derailing doesn't really matter in the narrative so it feels like an out of place detail.

I disagree, though. It was part of Shido's propaganda machine that the mental shutdowns were a sign of society's decline so it's pretty effective to contextualize how far he was willing to go.

Is that fanart the sequel to the first fanart, or is it made by someone else and has nothing do with the other?

I would say it's less that they made the animated cutscenes first and more that they clearly did some heavy rewrites after the cutscenes were already in production. You can clearly see the seams where things don't quite line up, especially in regards to the game coming up with weird excuses for you to be wearing your uniforms, etc.

In this sense you could say that even the idea of having animated cutscenes is a bad thing for development sinces it forces them to lock things down earlier than they would otherwise. It's especially a shame since game engine cutscenes look just as good or better these days.

Arguably the entire Hawaii sequence only exists because of the airplane cutscene: it's really quite irrelevant and doesn't fit into the plot very well.

But the slice of life stuff has been in Persona since the third: it doesn't need to fit neatly into the plot, the whole point is to show the characters dicking about.

I'd say it's a bit jarring because it's the only sequence that has no relation at all to the plot, other than showing Haru early. Unlike, say, P4, which is chock full of them.

The most happy go lucky murder mystery.

The problem is, Persona 5's story doesn't need the Hawaii trip at all, other than to have the characters' bonds stay strong. ...which they do anyway.

"As big a company as yourself should never take risks with exposing their target players with mature themes!"

Nintendo: "Here's Kirby packing heat."

"Here's a million dollars."

Kirby doesn't need guns to kill gods.

This is a hold-up!

Give me some cake.

This is a hold up! Hiiiiiiii!

Let's see if anyone can see it without scrolling down.

Aw damn, I needed to scroll down.

?

Not sure I get it.
