That Persona 5 Trailer

Day 1 Son

Dan + Drew Persona 5 Endurance Run. Make it so.

I could possibly summon the power to jump over the local Junes department store building if Atlus would announce a PS Vita version with a cross save feature.

!OG ew ereh nuR ecnarudnE

This is the capitol I INTERNET, friend! If you're not with someone, YOU HATE THEM!

All you have to do is choose to. If you're talking to someone who's just being an ass, it's not a conversation worth having =]

I wanna live in this world of yours. May I please?

Even though that logo looks like something out of Gran Torismo, that protagonist is no Charlie Tunoku, and all I saw was basically a guy on a train ride, I'm super excited. I wonder what the gameplay's gonna be like though, has turn based combat survived into 2014? It seems unlikely.

Also what's with the "Giant Bomb Staff", why not just tell me who posted the dang thing?

YES. That would be amaaaaaazing!

Man I'm getting excited. So happy it's coming to Ps4.

I think the main issue with investing time into an RPG is that the bursts I have at most is typically around 1 hour. Maybe 3 or 4 times a week. In a JRPG, that's usually long enough for a couple fights, and maybe a bit of story. In games where you can't save anywhere, it's even more limiting in how you use that time to play. On top of that, I tend to forget stories and what I was doing and for what reason if I don't play a game for say a week or so. Maybe it's because I'm an old man now and my memory sucks, iono. JRPGs are like, exactly the type of game I can't play because I never remember what the hell I was doing when I come back to it. Lately the only games I can really put time into are ones that are super light on story with save anywhere or short games like say DotA or whatever multiplayer game is popular at the moment.

What I've seen of Persona, I could easily spend all my time in a week either in a single dungeon, or just sitting around combining personas. That totally wouldn't work with my current gaming habits >,<

No worries. I tend to read all comments in a lighthearted tone unless the person is just being an ass. Not every disagreement is an argument and not every opposing opinion is a fight =]

@fobwashed: That's the thing though. The factor is how you use your game time not the time itself. It's not really a requirement to invest huge chunks of time into long games, you can totally play them slowly over time.

Not really trying to target you on this or anything, it just bugs me when I keep hearing about this sort of thing on the podcast over and over. I can't really commit more then 3-4 hours at the most a week at this point in my life and I'm still big on the JRPGs.

I like anime so I can already tell this is GOTY material.

I'm grateful for it being released on PS4 because it would of been one game I would of re hooked up my PS3 for.

Poor Vinny, daily flights to SF just for an endurance run.

Atlus plz change protagonist, looks like a douche thanks.

reminds me of gran turisimo

That Persona 5 logo looks like something I can have on a poster by itself. It's pretty snazzy.

It's Charlies brother!!!

I'm so glad P5 is coming to PS4. It seems like the right move considering the console is selling so well. Why not give more people the opportunity to buy it?

It reminds me of speed racer a little too. We're getting a racing themed Persona game, I guess.

It's a PS4 title too? Holy crap. I like that P5 logo, it kinda reminds me of some sort of racing logo.

Will we ever have another Persona Endurance Run? Charlie Potter Tonoku!

@subliminalkitteh: Ha ha, I've gone through the game twice, I know that he bounces back (in a huge way). But the theme of TWEWY definitely focuses on his initial angst and isolation. To anyone that read that comment-- yeah he's a complete pissant in the beginning, but actually really gets better, and I'm saying that as someone who thought I would hate the game.

Persona 5? Or PersonaS?!

@tonch: you must have not gotten past week one... Neku redeems himself tenfold, and makes the game highly worth sticking with because of his character progression.

That P5 logo looks like the Gran Turismo logo. Persona Kart?

I'm just glad the protagonist doesn't have cat ears this time.

Are there any reports on whether there will be a male/female character choice like P3P?

I'm guessing no since all of the animated cutscenes would need to be done twice...

all the previous ones have been stand alone. They all tie together loosely but each has its own set of characters and stories.

ENDURANCE RUN CONFIRMED

@thethingaboutmachines: It is probably gonna be standalone

Well, It's not like I have a sudden urge to yell Endurance Run or anything right now...

So I guess this time the color is red. 3 was blue, 4 was yellow.

Smart phones and the ad for a tablet, are we going to stick our hands into the internet world!? That might be horrifying!

Well I guess I'll get a PS4.

I see an endurance run coming on...

And now I have no reason to keep my PS3.

Thanks for sharing Giant Bomb Staff!

Nope. I mean time. If I had the free time to play through it. I would. I have very limited time to play games so I spend that time playing more shorter games rather than dumping all of it into one really long game.

@fobwashed:

When you say time you really mean patience. It's not like the game stops working if you don't finish it fast enough.

You're not avoiding an Endurance Run for this game.
I don't care if your name is Rollo Tomassi.

@shtinky: how do you know all of these things about me have I been doxded

Cant wait. Hate this kids hair though, first thing that came to mind after i first saw him.

"It's not like one of my Metal Gear Solid animes."

The cycle begins again - there is always a man-women, a train and angst.

Don't really like the design of this guy but whatever. Seems like a Persona game to me, so far.

It actually has quite a bit of information. The first part is obvious: Smartphones. You see a shitload of them being either displayed or used. Even the protagonist has one! I would assume that you cast you personas using it and that "being trapped inside your phone" is probably going to be one the story themes. In addition to that:

Damn right; where's the Wii U version, where the anime loving, smash bros-playing, fan of Japanese culture, female and teen demographic actually resides.

Is it wrong to say that I want to touch his hair? It looks so fluffy.

Also, yeah, that is a nice turtleneck.

Alright I'm in , what crazy adventures is this kid going on .
