Yesterday a prototype of Persona 5 was dumped online, and it features, among other things mentioned in the tweet:

Early versions of songs

Early versions of the models

The MIDI-esque version of Last Surprise featured in the trailer

Differences in textures

The vocal songs (with exception to Wake Up, Get up, Get Out There) use a synth lead, this is before they hired Lyn most likely

Differences in animations

It's genuinely fucking wild to see. Do you ever feel like life is beautiful and has hope and meaning?

PV02 is coming tomorrow, with DLC News in tow!

It seems like our long wait is over! Or rather, almost over! At 12:00 o’clock tomorrow in Japan’s time zone (GMT+9), we’ll get the second general trailer for P5T, featuring the second Kingdom, Toshiro, and “new information about the DLC episodes”! The link is below:

I don’t have any elaborate predictions, but I did find something that lends credence to the leaks about a second DLC other than Repaint Your Heart, supposedly featuring the P5S duo. In the preload’s files, each dlc has an executable to check its legitimacy. RPYH is dlc1, the Weapon Pack is dlc2, the Picaro Pack is dlc3, and the pre-order bonus of Orpheus and Izanagi is dlc5.

Whether or not it was cancelled, this implies the existence of a dlc4. All we can do is wait and see…

Silly Game Time: Go to youtube. What's the title of the 4th video recommended, and what's your interest in it on a scale of 1 to 10?

(Feel free to ask others, too, if you like!)

Drew a quick sketch of PV-02 (Pivot) from page 116 (Chpt 7, Pg 14).

It feels weird to draw 4 fingers instead of 5.

Bored at work.

Improved @pv02’s design.

A little while ago I felt like doing some random fan art of @zedrin-maybe‘s robo girl Pivot.

I just forgot to upload it woops

More P5T Plot Details (feat. Satan and Sinister Politicians)

Gamescom has come and gone, and with it, the P5T demos available to attendees. There weren’t many plot details shown, but two outlets let slip that the game doesn’t begin in Leblanc, as advertised.

Like PQ and Q2, which had quotes by Seneca and Rousseau respectively, P5T opens “with a quote from Paradise Lost”. While the outlet (Shacknews) didn’t specify which one, this is a fascinating choice for a game about rebellion, especially considering Joker’s use of Satanael (who is obtainable in P5T and could be plot-relevant, per the leaked achievements). I’d speculate more and draw parallels to the poem, but not knowing the quote they used would make my ramblings too broad. It would be interesting if the final Kingdom/the evil deity’s lair ended up being inspired by the fallen angels’ uprising against God, rather than human history.

While an erudite quotation may evoke the Q games, which contained their plots to the Metaverse and surname-less characters trapped there for a long, abstract amount of time, both Shacknews and Persona Spain mention that P5T begins with a “short scene” in which a “pair of sinister politicians” converse in “the office of a National Diet member”, which, alongside Toshiro’s disappearance being shown on the news in older screenshots, tie the Kingdoms’ events to the real world.

Those two are likely Conspiracy members, akin to Strikers’ Owada or Shido’s nameless goons who try to keep his plans in motion after his brainwashing, but I wonder whether Toshiro is one of them, their ally, or their target for elimination.

After that, there’s the Leblanc scene, in which the Thieves discuss college and moving on with their lives. Shacknews claimed while discussing this section that P5T takes place after Strikers, but I think the writer was mistaken, since marketing materials and screenshots have shown Joker as a second year, and Haru and Makoto in Shujin attire. Furthermore, unlike RPYH and the final party members in P5R and S, what would be the motivation for lying about this? (I wish one of these writers had asked ATLUS representatives for clarification in this regard, but we did at least hear from them that the game’s duration will be around 40-50 hours, so there went another big question.)

Then comes the tutorial in the Marie’s plaza, featuring Joker, Skull and Mona.

After this stage, Skull and most of the PTs are brainwashed by Marie, leading to a stage where Joker and Mona must defeat all enemies but Skull, who attacks them with Captain Kidd.

Sadly, the demo abruptly skipped ahead to after Erina joined, so no one was able to get a strong sense of her personality and interactions with others. Then, it ended with Toshiro’s appearance in the dungeons.

That’s all I gathered, plot-wise. It feels like ATLUS is withholding more information about P5T’s plot than they did for the other spin-offs, which alongside the emphasis on how “emotional” it will be, intrigue me. By their PV02s, PQ2 had revealed 4 of its 5 dungeons, and P5S had shown Wolf and Valjean.

Meh, wanted to draw robots. Noticed how many of the robots I like are female. I wanted to do something other than have them stand around, but I ended up having them be all aggressive to each other and I don’t want to imply any of them are better than others, I drew them ‘cause I like them all.

[shiominato]

i’ve been looking at that trailer a million trillion times over

It looks like the stuff with the protagonist in that ocean of light is yoko related? He’s not dying or anything. Maybe.

Her eyes start glowing at one point as well, in the same scene where Nahobino gets hit by the attack that PV02 lead into Newhobino’s transformation with.

One of my initial theories, that the upgrade is tied to yoko in some way, seems a lot more relevant now.

Notably: Tsukuyomi is seen standing next to Yuzuru in a scene that looks like it’s after Newhobino’s creation. It implies they’re still counterparts, even after newhobino is born. at least to me.

Back on the tablet from my 5 year hiatus on drawing and what better way than to draw one of my favorite characters by @zedrin-maybe PV02.

[robotgloveart]

Fanart for @zedrin-maybe of his OC Pivot. Need to draw more robots.
