Social Hideout of the Phantom Thieves - Joker Social

[Ultrashroomz]

Musou isn't really my thing, but looks cool anyways.

Definitely gonna prioritize on P5 Royal before anything else though.

 

[Mellowy Yellow]

Can't believe im actually interested in a Warriors game now!

Also i can't wait to destroy 100 enemies as my girl

 

[Teeb147]

AN ACTION PERSONA GAME ON SWITCH?!
YES PLZ

But really, I wouldnt have expected that haha. Here's hoping there's a lot of characters to choose from

 

[amageish]

I don't fully understand why they didn't call it Persona 5 Warriors, but it looks great visually - it does a good job capturing that P5 aesthetic. Definitely picking this one up and I am very excited for the warriors potential brought about by Makoto's persona especially.

Given how it has no release date, I'm hoping it'll come out late this year in Japan, after P5R, so it can include Kasumi.

Considering p5r is a remaster and does have a release date, I think it's safe to say it'll be later and kasumi will be in.
I do think it'd be cool if it was 2019, but it could easily be 2020, especially this being the first we see of it. At least they had a tidbit of gameplay

I think the name is fine, it'd get repetitive if everyone called it warriors.
Hope they show us a bit more of it and how the story fits with it sometime.

 

[Mellowy Yellow]

Im dissapointed it's not a continuation of Mario Strikers like the name suggests /s

True! I'd expect it before next April at the latest though; they don't tend to show spin-offs at the concerts for multiple years in a row.

It would get very repetitive true, but I 100% thought this was a puzzle game based on the title haha.

 

[Sigran101]

Now the question is how is Atlus going to make it cannon?

 

[osby]

Now the question is how is Atlus going to make it cannon?

I'm guessing an Arena-style story. They have to expand the story at one point, as fun as dancing games and Q2 were.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

P5S......


IS A BEAT EM UP GAME BY KOEI TEMCO

Its a PS4 game too

Not what I expected, but even better than the alternatives I was thinking of. I never actually thought we'd get an honest-to-goodness Persona 5 Warriors spin-off.

"You'll never see it coming" lives on!

Also i can't wait to destroy 100 enemies as my girl

And wreck just as many as mine.

 

[EarlTamm]

I just realized, if Kasumi transfers around the same time as Joker and is an athlete, would that mean she'd have to interact with Kamoshida?

That's a horrifying thought.

Well we haven't been shown any gymnastic sports there right? so she might do that somewhere else. But no doubt there'll be a little bit of something, though i think the other characters already have it covered with him.

I doubt she will be focused on in that plotline, but it is something that needs to be addressed, especially if she is a constant character throughout the game like Akechi. I think the worst they could/would do with her in this regard is show Kamoshidas thoughts on her in his Palace. I will say, Kamoshidas heart being changed would be the perfect way to setup her mindset on the Phantom Thieves.

Sure, well we know she wont see the PTs changes as fully good at first, so i would think we'll see a little bit of a different side each time she's involved. And somehow it'll culminate as they get more (in)famous in the story.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Do any of you figure that Sakurai might have been informed of early planning for Scramble? That might have been the actual deciding factor behind Joker's inclusion.

 

[BZL8]

I think he put Joker in because he loves the Persona series, and Joker's arguably the more recognizable protagonist, just like Cloud was for Final Fantasy. While I don't think Scramble was the deciding factor, I do believe Atlus' long-time support on Nintendo platforms (Shin Megami Tensei, #FE, etc.) was even though Persona is generally not associated with Nintendo.

Fair enough.

At any rate, at least those who whined about him "not deserving to be in due to lack of Nintendo game" got silenced a lot faster than those for Cloud were.

 

[Teeb147]

Still would've been way nice to see P5 or P5R on switch. Still surprised we dont even know if a port is planned for it or not.

People are less salty because of a lack of a Nintendo game and more salty because Atlus decided to put a Musou spinoff and not a port of Royal or the base game on the Switch.

In regards to Persona 5 Scramble, I am intrigued, but Musou games generally don't click with me. Borrowed both Hyrule and Fire Emblem Warriors once and they didn't have enough to capture me. Maybe P5S will be different, but who knows.

That's Sony exclusivity contracts for you. They'll probably hold onto the mainline Personas until some company steps over their cold, dead bodies.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is all "aw heck, why not?" and eventually let Cuphead be on the Switch.

Even though no one's looked into it, I wouldn't be surprised if Sony did have the mainline games on platform lockdown. Perhaps putting a first-party Sony character in Smash would appease them .

If Persona 5 Scramble wants to capture my interest fully, I'd say Koei should take a page from PlatinumGames and Capcom's Devil May Cry team and implement Stylish Action elements into the game. If anything, I always felt that if there was one company that had to develop an actionized Persona spinoff, let alone a spinoff of Persona 5, Platinum would be the best developer to take on the challenge.

That's definitely possible since it has been exclusive. .. let's hope the time frame for it ends at some point soon and we see the main persona games come to nintendo too.

I'd like to take moment to mention that MysticDistance has said it would come to the switch in 2019, and unless we get some e3 announcement about it, I think this person can't really be trusted on leaks even for persona stuff.

 

[Clumsyzephyr]

Well, that's certainly not what I expected. A Warriors Persona game, I'm pretty excited. Hoping it'll have a good roster, maybe some p3, p4 characters alongside p5?

I see this being thrown around a lot but I'm pretty it's never been stated that Sony has some kind of exclusivity contract with atlus.

Pretty sure Platinum's pretty busy with their projects anyway, they got plenty on their plate with Bayonetta 3 and Astral Chain right now.

Yet for some reason mainline Personas are always on Playstation, while only a few spin-offs have been on Nintendo. Who really knows why Atlus does this...

I always just figured it was because Persona's 3 and 4 came out during a time where Nintendo was putting on that casual image and it made more sense to put it on something like the PS2.

If there really was some kind of exclusivity deal, i don't think we would have gotten the Q games.

 

[Mellowy Yellow]

What if....

Spoiler: P5R Spoiler

Kasumi is revealed to be blood related to Joker RIGHT AFTER you romanced her? That would be kinda shocking realizing you made love to a family member of yours

 

[EarlTamm]

No.

Anyway, I think P5S has made a P5 port even more possible, as it's clearly built on P5 assets, and if P5 assets are on the Switch...

 

[Deleted member]

P5S took me by surprise, but in a good way. I do like Hyrule Warriors and I sunk a lot of time into Fire Emblem Warriors, no doubt that will be the same for Scramble. I am looking forward to playing a Warriors game with the Thieves! ...And hopefully other characters too!

Well, that's certainly not what I expected. A Warriors Persona game, I'm pretty excited. Hoping it'll have a good roster, maybe some p3, p4 characters alongside p5?

Speaking of which, I really hope that Adachi would be playable. I'm not expecting it, but I would be happy if they pulled it off.

Yet we still go the Devil Survivor games on the DS.

It seems to me like Atlus wants its SMTverse games to be exclusive for the sake of being exclusive as long as possible, seeing how relatively few of them even get remakes as it is (at least overseas), and how spread-out the franchise was.

Kinda hard to get maximum sales for one specific game if it's on more than one console, I guess is their logic.

No.

Maybe this'll get Atlus to finally break its old habits. Never imagined it would be via Omega-Force, of all people.

 

[Flyboy]

Galaxy brain: the reason the new song started with Wiping All Out at the concert was because Minako is playable in P5 Scramble

 

[kirbsmash]

why is human mona hot?

 

[Roguewolf]

why is human mona hot?

And thus the question that will plague humanity was finally asked and all the citezens were left to ponder it.

 

[EarlTamm]

So, there has been a lot of Persona fan art in the last two days or so and a lot of it is really good. And about human Morgana.

I will also quote these, because putting in all the Kasumi art into this above spoiler would be insane.

Anyways, there is a ton of Kasumi art going about for obvious reasons and it's all pretty great.

I think it's safe to say that fandom wise as of now, Kasumi is quite loved and human Morgana is... perplexing.

 

[DarthEnderX]

I just realized, Joker doesn't have a numbered "71 - Joker" trailer on the Smash website like every other character in Smash Ultimate. Only his reveal trailer.

That's going to drive me insane...

If there is one, it probably just applies to the mainline games and their remakes (except maybe Persona 1 since that released on PC I think)
