I imagine it something like Tartarus where it's a real world place heavily manipulated by the influence of shadows.

We see the Phantom infiltrating what appears to be a normal, real-world casino, but in the gameplay we see him fighting demons in said casino.

I hope it's something new, though. A repeat of the old formula would work, but it wouldn't be as interesting.

I'd prefer it if the dungeon crawling was in the real world since there'd be a bigger chance of being caught, making the dungeons more interesting. Not that we couldn't be "caught" in an alternate dimension either by
whoever is supposedly chasing us
.

This might be nothing, but if you look at the trailers there's this sort of bubbly particle effect around the screen when the characters are wearing their costumes that could indicate some kind of detachment from the 'normal' world.

It could be sort of like the scanline effect in P4 when the characters were in the TV World.

I was going to link some images from the trailers but I don't know if that's allowed?

*edit: you can see the effect on the edges of the screen in shots like here and here

Interested to see what shakes out in the next week. However, despite all this excitement, I am fully prepared for victory for Team Ruin when it comes to the US release date:

I'm pretty interested in knowing how much Soejima even worked on DAN.

Only thing that he without a doubt worked on were the boxarts.

I'm sure he did all in-game character portraits as well.

Not a whole lot, apparently. He did the boxarts and some promo art, and going by the illustration credits given for Hatsune Miku he also did at least the character render for Miku, but possibly the whole cast. He was also resposible for Kanami's design and most likely the side characters.

God dammit MGS V!!! The man has been on my mind all week.
Obviously meant Dojima.

Haha, yeah, I figured.

On the plus side, if #TeamRuin wins I'll have enough money lying around to pick up MGSV instead. Looks like it's really fun, it's just that as far as fifth entries go, P5 looks that much better.

Masatoshi Kobayashi and Hanako Uchibe are also listed alongside him as charecter designs, so it's likely that they did the side characters.

There's a second charecter designer listed in the credits, so he probably didn't do all the side characters.
Click to expand...

Kobayashi (小林), right? Dantis confirmed to me that they worked on the game. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Kobayashi's work on PQ, but his style is rather similiar to Soejima's sketches. Kobayashi didn't design any human characters for PQ, but the majority of the game's original Shadows and FOEs. The clown thing on one of the preview pages is exactly his style, and that makes me assume that Kobayashi was the one behind (P4D Spoiler)
the pseudo Shadows of Kanamin Kitchen, which happen to be the weird monstrosities that could be seen in the background of some stages
,

I don't know what Uchibe's style looks like, but yeah, she might be the side character designer if Soejima didn't work on them.

Yeah I think the safest bet is to just credit him for the boxarts, character renders, and maybe the final VN portraits.

He could have also done some QA on the models as well but that wouldn't be too involved anyways.

Reply #2: I made two; do with them what you will.

If this "#InHardinWeTrust" team were to lose, it'd be this:

Well, if people are posting avatars about I just put this one together for KenjiGlove. It could work as general punishment, given that Kenji is such a popular guy.

Looks way better, I don't know if someone is able to make it even clearer but I have no clue how editing images works.

Here are the ones that were posted earlier in the thread. I don't think I missed any aside from that vile Rise wall scroll.

I've sort of fallen off Persona news, but has there been any confirmation that Atlus is having their own separate panel at TGS, or is the Persona concert all there is?

Also, I made an avatar template for the wanted poster if anyone with Photoshop wants to use it. Just scale the image down by a factor of 5, and it'll be the proper avatar size.

Yeah, there's bokeh during the scenes where the supernatural happens, but I don't know if that's a metaphorical effect or if that's just Atlus trying for some stylized cinematography. It doesn't just happen at the edges - it's also happening everywhere outside the depth of field in the second image, making me think that they can't use the effect as much outside of pre-rendered cutscenes.

The game actually stars Kojima, Chie and Naoto solving their crimes. It's starting to make sense.

Atlus have a livestream with a 40 hour countdown, ending in an hour long Persona panel which will include the mini concert.

I'm up for another trolling rollercoaster but I'm not sure I should even watch. At this point, it might be best to go on a blackout. I even turned off avatars after people were able to see PV02
