After watching this for the 20th time I just realized this trailer is fucking nonsense if you have no frame of reference for the persona series

This needs a Quick Look, even if just to see Vinny trying to understand the lyrics of the songs!

@sub_o: Igor's Japanese voice actor is dead, so no more Igor most likely in Persona.

If anyone is wondering this game is actually quite good. I've been playing it quite a bit. The writing is great and they added just enough Persona elements into EO to make it feel like a Persona game.

@nux:

There is gameplay footage of the japanese version out there already, and based on what I've seen it's Etrian Odyssey with a coat of Persona. Has the map drawing mechanic and everything. Mind you I'm fine with that, EO4 was one of my favorite games to come out in 2013.

OK....I still have NO CLUE what this game even IS!

A mix of Persona 3, Persona 4, and Etrian Odyssey.

Also it's canon to the Persona universe, if you're a crazy nut like me that cares about that kind of thing.

While I'm glad this game exists, I can't say I'm excited about some of the Personas being locked behind Day One DLC.

I love Persona enough to give this a shot in spite of the fact that my recent attempt to get into Etrian Odyssey IV didn't go so well.

From what I've read of this game, it removes a lot of the social aspect of the games right? The balance between the dungeon crawling and the social elements is why I love the Persona series in the first place. If the majority of content was one or the other I think I'd have no interest in the series at all. Oh well! I guess I'll just wait the GB guys to do a quick look or wait for Persona 5. (Might actually have to buy a 3DS first!)

@ch3burashka: It sounds like two different lead vocals? One for the P3 tunes and one for the P4 tunes, together at last. Am I hallucinating this maybe?

Also: This game looks crazycakes.

How is it that they're able to churn out such awesome music consistently? Meguro is awesome, but I'd like to know who the lead female voice is; I'm pretty sure she's been there since at least P3.

Just finished Persona 4 Golden for the first time and yeah, it's probably the greatest game ever made, if not, it's certainly up there. Shame this won't be on the Vita but I guess I'll still have that dancing game to look forward to. Soooo I can be super creepy with Naoto and Chie... Man, that just made me sad :/

Then again I still haven't played P3P and I kinda want to finish that fighting game to.

If it's even half as good as Etrian Odyssey IV, I'll be very happy indeed.

It's basically Etrian Odyssey with Persona 3 / 4 characters and little plot, or so some people with Japanese versions have said, but I'm still looking forward to it. It'll be a good daily train ride game.

@nasar7: I'm doing that right now actually. First time through and I'm following a guide just to get as much of the story as I can.

I love EO. I love Persona. I've preordered the CE. Just the feel of the trailer/movie and seeing the casts interact and... I've had a happygasm. It's like they have a direct feed into my brain and had a meeting that went something like "What can we do to hit every one of this weirdo's buttons". I think I need to go take a Bufu shower.

Hold up now... Not once did I see Mysterious Fox. I'm not sure I can buy this product if Mysterious Fox isn't there to sell me some mysterious leaves with healing powers.

Maybe dancing all night will have some fox dancing.

Not sure if I'll jive with the gameplay in this game, but I'm willing to give it a shot because it's Persona 3/4 related.

I still really like the look of these characters, and the music in that trailer was pretty great. As a fan of Etrian Odyssey, I'm quite looking forward to this game!

Charlie Tunoku don't chibi, yo.

(What is this gave even? I could give it a shot if it's anything like P4.)

It's a dungeon crawler in the same vein as Etrian Odyssey.

I think Persona characters and music might be just enough to get me into an Etrian Odyssey dungeon crawler. And SMT IV illustrated how great this style of game can be on the 3DS.

So that's how long I have to finish Persona 3 before I'll never have enough interest in this game to ever buy it! Persona 4's out of the question!

God, that cast is way too big.

I love me some Persona 4, but to be honest I can't wait until Persona 5 so we can all "start fresh" with something new.
