You know what somewhat annoys me; Sae could have been our adult party member...

Yup a real tragedy. Would have loved that.

Takuto showing up in Scramble as a second adult party member works too if it can happen...

P5 is now doing a Sword Art Online collab.

Wasn't the P5 anime bad enough?

Atlus is determined to give Persona 5 as many crossovers as possible in the vein of Persona 4 getting all the spinoffs

On the plus side, Joker with Kirito’s swords would look really cool.

So does anyone here know exactly how the new ending where you choose to stay in the Lotus-Eater Machine is portrayed? I've found some sources that say it's a clear bad ending and others say it isn't.

It's kinda inbetween. As there's an actual bad ending if you prove to be too indecisive like a Neutral sheep

I've also seen conflicting reports on just how "real" Takuto's world is, with some saying it's a dream/illusion, others that it's an outright reality-warp. If it's the latter doesn't that make accepting it sort of the better ending? Because if you revert it you're essentially really re-killing Wakaba, re-traumatizing Shiho, re-...evil...ing Akechi and Okumura, etc.

It's a dream because it hasn't become "truth" yet. Remember using cognition to alter reality actually requires some work to make its effects permanent. Yaldy hadn't yet done that so removing his influence was pretty easy once he is beaten. If cognition comes to accept something permanently as truth it becomes so.

So is it just me, or could this song from the Jekyll & Hyde musical basically be the series' theme tune, 5 in particular?

No idea.

God damn it, Scramble turns out to be a sequel: https://www.siliconera.com/persona-5-scramble-was-originally-planned-as-persona-warriors/

I have a bad feeling that there will be a Hot Springs visit too, and I don't trust Atlus to not screw it up somehow. 3 started things by having the guys stay in the springs too long, and 4 had the girls stay in the springs too long only for them to avoid karma by whacking the guys.

I suppose it'd be too much to ask for separate hot springs and them having a pleasant conversation through the wall

What if we took the worst scene in Persona, if not among the worst in all of anime

[up] No... just no... I'd rather fight Satan from Digital Devil Saga 2 three times in a row without the chance to save, heal, or change party members between each fight than go with that idea.

The siliconera article merely confirms our suspicions and I have to say, this seems to be the second time that Atlus pulled a Bait-and-Switch on us.

[up] Because the story directors feel the need to include in spite of fan backlash, much like the out-of-touch corporate dummkopfs here in America who push for more microtransactions and fucking loot boxes in video games.

How is it a bait & switch if we've known it for months now?

The trailers aren't making it a secret & we even got the games opening pretty much flashing in our faces that yes "This is a direct sequel to 5".

About the only actual surprise out of this is the knowledge that this was originally a Warriors game & even that's not every shocking.

We already knew it was a sequel for weeks though? The moment P5-2 popped up in previous trailers.

I have long observed Persona's humor is very 90s and I distinctly recall many hot springs in things like Tenchi and Inuyasha.

They're just sticking with what they know.

Eh till this day Hot Springs stil get used i shonen even by younger mangakas. They just tend to not have the women turn into psychotic animals that should be put out of everyones misery by overreacting.

More like it's very Japanese oriented humor. People kind of forget that this is a Japanese series written in the context of the average Japanese Citizen.

So I'm pretty sure they're either indifferent or surprised why Americans are upset at their off brand humor.

[up] I feel the reaction is justified when the males willingly try to peep.
