I don't think they will go with that wildcard route, but I could see them letting characters use there base and ultimate Persona's as different weapons. That seems like a good balance.Yeah. And, frankly, there are some random 4chan leaks that I think are being... overwatched! HAHAHAHAHA!
HAHA
ha
heh.
Anyway, base Warriors rosters can very wildly, especially based on the uniqueness of movesets. A dozen characters is a pretty safe standard number though, so the party members of P5R plus 1-2 OCs would make sense to me. Then they can add throwbacks as DLC, possibly with a story map about the P3 and P4 casts getting roped in.
That said, I do also have a weirder idea that would definitely cause some salt: don't maximize the playable characters, but instead maximize the personas. All the characters are wild cards with their own unique standard attacks, but there are 20-30 personas who change the special attacks completely. It'd make it a more unique Warriors game with both more and less movesets then usual, depending on how you count it.
So, that gives us Joker, Yu, and Aigis as protagonists. Akechi's wild card status is unclear, as we only see him use two personas in the game, though I believe he uses more in the anime, but let's just say he is in because popularity. Kasumi will also probably have some version of the wild card, as I believe was teased in a Famitsu article once? I may be imagining that.
Then any Velvet Room attendant would have the wild card by default. They could bring the P3 protagonist back from the dead in this game instead of Arena if they wanted him with his wild card as well, or they could drag the P3 FeMC out of her parallel universe. I feel like the P3 crowd would be best saved for Arena though.
I have found it funny what little P5S speculation I've seen has been like though, as a lot of less-hardcore Persona fans have gotten involved with it due to Smash rising its profile. Take this tweet from Derrick of GameXplain.
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Yeah, uh, P1/P2 fans gave up long ago dude.
Also, yeah, Derrick probably didn't realize that he just made a rather depressingly hilarious statement there.
Also, some new P5 info has popped up. Nothing super major though.
