Wasn't it explained that Igor chose that form so Joker wouldn't be intimidated or something? Or was that just a fan theory?

No idea.

@ Red Hunter 543: That could be possible, but I'm thinking that Joker's third-tier Persona will probably be Helel unless Atlus decides to replace the demonic Lucifer as the ultimate fusable Persona of the Star Arcana with Helel. After all, demonic Lucifer is already in Persona 5 but Helel isn't for some reason...

Considering their similar Nature, Joker's third tier Persona being an Homage to Lucifel would be interesting.

[up][up] I like where you are going with this, Joker may have a dark is not evil motif, but assuming he gets Helel by the time of the new events, having angel Lucifer is fitting.

You fools, Joker will get Lupin III as his 3rd-tier Persona.

For those of you into tabletop gaming there's a Persona-5-sans-serial-numbers game being kickstarted. With the playable current draft available to try out, so you don't have to wonder if it's gonna suck or not.

Scramble is coming out in February in Japan and seems to be more like a sequel than an actual musuo game. Or, at the very least it includes the calendar system and Palace exploration.

[up] I really cannot say anything other than Never Trust a Trailer because Atlus probably isn't showing off all their cards just yet.

[up][up] It pays like a combo of the Palace explorations and Musou gameplay.

So its still basically a musou game combat wise.

Not surprised about the actual sequel part. If fighting games and rhythm games are canon, no reason why a musou game wouldn't be. The calendar and the town exploration part are interesting though.

Surprised they didn't tease at any P3 or P4 characters. Saved for a future trailer perhaps?

[up]Very strong chance of DLC, I'm guessing.

Looks more or less like how Dragon Quest Heroes 2 handled exploration.

How many characters a base musou game without DLC usually have? Without P3 and P4 characters, the game will only have 15 characters at max including Phantom Thieves and some original characters.

Haven't touched a musou game in years. Last musou game I played was Dynasty Warriors 5, which had triple that size.

They usually have over 20.

Though that depends on the franchise.

[up][up]New musous that can't reuse assets and don't have moveset clones have around that many. Hyrule Warriors, Dragon Quest Heroes, and One Piece: Pirate Warriors all had 13 at launch

Beginner franchises start out small.

I recall Berserk had a small roster too.

I'm shocked, it's got animated cutscenes and everything. Legitimately looks like the story will be a direct sequel to the events of P5. Color me hyped; I don't even play Musou games and I'm interested

Wonder if there will be spoilers in this game for Royale?

No sign of Akechi either. Though it might be too early to reveal him if he's in it somehow, especially since we're not totally clear on what his status will be post Royale.

Hell, we're not clear what his status is in Royale period. We know he's there, but whether he survived his Last Stand against Shidou's Cognition of him or the one in Royale is some kinda self aware illusion of him is unclear.

i mean it's been two trailers where we've seen him running along with the gang in his loki outfit so unless it's "not the real akechi but dreaùworld + your perception of akechi", so it's kinda looking like he's gonna survive unless they massively rewrite the plot, yeah.

I'm still hoping that the previous Persona crew makes an appearance.

Seriously they can be the cops to the PT literal thieves. It be fun. Portray Naoto as a Knight Templar cop or something. tongue

Maybe have them think Naoto is just an older, female Akechi, only to slowly realize she's actually a genuine Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist.

I really wish for the Shadow Operatives to be the 'Hero Antagonist' at least for the first half, with Chie being an actual Rookie Cop and Naoto assisting on the side with Yu interjecting mid way giving both sides a wakeup call.
