To put it better: when you first turned on the game, the screen would just show your character (protagonist) on a train by himself. When you had your first main cast member, he would appear along with the protagonist on the title screen, and as the group grew, more characters would appear on the title screen. To add more interactivity, have the screen's background change based on your last save. For example, if you saved at school, and then exited the game, the title screen would show the classroom. If you saved in a city area, the title screen would show a street, and so on.

…Who’s ready for the HD-upscale Funky Student???!! 😭

There is no way she is actually releasing an album with coda, she got hacked i think

Warning: This ENTIRE Thread is going to be spoiler heavy on Rise and her character, which might involve her Social Link or dialogue throughout the game.

I... don't really know how to start this, but ever since I met Rise, this character has stood out to me, for a while I couldn't really figure it out, but over time, I found out why I was completely and utterly infatuated with this character.

It was like staring in a mirror. Not in a literal sense, obviously, but a lot of what she went through hit far too close to what I've felt throughout my life

Here I was, looking at a character who had crafted a mask to appeal to everyone, and I had done exactly that. I was also someone who created a fake persona to appeal to people. And when Rise stripped herself of that mask, she was left with a character that was... nothing. She wasn't really a person underneath, (Laura Bailey helped sell this very well) her tone became fairly monotone, her doubt became obvious, and the way she looked so... deadpan, so exhausted.

She took off the mask and became a void of personality, because Risette was ALL that she had known. A character whose identity fundamentally did not exist because she had no one to help her, because the only saw her as "Risette the Idol".

This is something I have genuinely struggled with, because I've created multiple personas, multiple masks, trying to appeal to everyone. I was so obsessed with creating an identity, a brand, someone I could be so I would never have to have an original personality. I did this for about 2 years, because I wanted to be known for something, I tried to escape an ever-looming shadow so I would be known for something, and eventually, I was!

...but, when I took off that mask, I realized... I was in Rise's same position, I... wasn't really a person underneath, all I had created was a cherry-picked personality that would fit every situation, but I would never be "authentic", because the real me didn't exist, I don't even remember who I was prior to those 2 years because I threw away everything to be someone else.

Rise is just... such a fascinating character to me because of this, she captured something that I genuinely struggled and helped me face myself and have an authentic me again, instead of living behind the mask of a brand. She's a character ATLUS could've messed up so... easily, yet she wasn't, she's so human that it hurt me, and it made me realize everything beneath the mask didn't exist.

This is what made Rise stand out from other Persona characters for me, she addressed such a specific struggle that I was genuinely shocked when I realized I was struggling with the same thing, I believe she is a fantastically written character, and I wouldn't change a thing about her.

Thank you, Rise Kujikawa.

Did anyone think that Ryuji in the intro was Akihiko? It really just looks like white/silver hair to me and I was so confused to why all the P5 gang were there except Ryuji and why a wild Akihiko appeared lmao

I wanna watch the persona animations, but which ones are actually good, because I know some are mentioned by others as being kind of rushed or other problems 🤔

From what the trailer shows, it’s the same girl talking to herself, Manaka but before she jump from the roof, and the other is post social link after getting better and no longer needing a wheelchair / finding her will to live. So basically she will get better with the help of the protagonist and may leave her wheelchair after rehabilitation I suppose. If you remember Vino the jazzy grandma then they are actually related and Vino is actually Ange grandmother! There is a side quest where the two will sings together (vino playing the saxophone and her granddaughter singing) in the jazz club where joker and akechi hangouts~

You can have both characters Ange and Vino in your party which I find cool, Vino is a 4 stars permanent character, Ange is a limited time 5 stars (she’s the first anniversary character so may be very Op)

IMO, she could have been a corporation, but she would have chosen to be a street kid. Mainly because she would have definitely joined the Mox. She would wear a lot of flashy pink and I think she wouldn't be against cyber implants.

What's your take on her ?

(Further context in case people don’t know P5X: Merope is the Velvet Room attendant in the Persona 5 gacha game spinoff Persona 5: Phantom X)

Since it’s stated Marie is basically adopted what about Merope? Also are there any other Velvet Room attendants who aren’t related to Elizabeth, Theodore, Margaret, Caroline & Justine, and Lavenza? Also what is Merope’s origin and where does she come from?

I swear she was around
