Hmmm...
I doubt we are getting an echo-fighter.
Maybe DLC alternates are arriving?

Unsurprisingly, Sakurai was in-attendance at the concert.
There was a problem fetching the tweet

Hmm... that certainly is an interesting situation. Especially due to the apparent similarities between her and Joker along with the grappling hook bit.

She could work as an echo, but I’m not 100%.

Do we have any idea what her Persona is/looks like?
no, but Nekoo Nekoo had an interesting theory that it'll be based off josephine balsamo, arsene lupin's rival/occasional lover

it sets them up as male/female parallels, explains the similar appearance, and even has interesting story implications for who she sides with (i.e. going back and forth as for/against the thieves)

Well, the reveal was cool, though now I wonder how long we're gonna be in speculation because of nothing definite.

time for me to go. have fun talkin.

well, story elements will have to change to accommodate the new content - it could be that the final boss is pushed back later into the year, or that there's a new final boss taking place before the events of the original game's ending come to pass

hard to tell at this point
They're gonna pull a P4 and have a bunch more Scooby-Doo masks to pull off.

Why couldn't Kasumi's lower half just be designed like Makoto's outfit. That would have been cool.

That does it, after I finish a few more drawings, I'm drawin' Kasumi and giving her pants.

I definitely hope we get her earlier tho. I want something new early on enough.
Given from what we saw in the trailer, Kasumi doesn't appear to be the only thing P5R has for new content, gameplay or cutscenes. If they're keeping the base plot for Persona 5, I doubt they'll force Kasumi into the team until a looooooong time so she doesn't interfere. At the very least, dungeons seem to have new rooms and layouts to accommodate for the grappling hook. I bet there will also be new personas and enemies to beat up too.

Plus, being real, Kasumi is the trump card for Persona 5 R because she brings along new story elements and a new party member, which means more in-game time that was originally skipped in the base game. What they're going to do is ride out her mystery until the base game is done to keep you invested in her story, assuming you don't spoil it before Royal is released to America.

me: "sakurai's twitter doesn't mean anything, it's just him showing off stuff he likes and being a normal person"
also me: "she's ****ing in"

i almost wonder if it would've been better served with something other than joker's leather trenchcoat thrown over it

as it stands, it's got a sort of black canary vibe going on, which is cool but also she's 15

Man. I would love for this theory to be true. It would definitely make sense if that’s the overall narrative direction they’re going to take with Kasumi.

Also makes the possibility of an echo more likely imo.

Oh wait, hold up. I just forgot, Nintendo's investor meeting is tomorrow. Last time we got some pretty out there announcements such as mobile games and such. Predictions right now.
  • Switch Sales - 37 ~ 40 million, in that range, give or take
  • Games Sales
    • 18 ~ 20 million for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
    • 15 million for Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey
    • 10+ million for Splatoon 2, etc.
  • E3 News: E3 Direct Date, Treehouse news, etc
  • Possible info on Switch Mini/Pro
While I’m still excited to hear about how Nintendo has done over the past year, I’m still interested in seeing how much more they’re going into the mobile market.

It’s starting to become a bigger part of Nintendo’s revenue stream and I’m curious as to what they have in store next, besides Mario Kart Tour.

Where were you when Kasumi rang "The 5Chan leak is dead."

if nothing else, it makes her serve the story much better than marie did

it'd be fun to have a mediating character where you can never be 100% sure of which 'side' of the phantom thieves debate between ren and akechi they're more loyal to

Sure. Just, to me a new party member is still big, and I'd much rather get her earlier :)
Who knows, maybe she'll be like a bonus member we can get after the 3rd or 4th dungeon.

We're gonna have her story along at the same time anyway

I wonder if we're gonna get a new battle theme like P4G did.
The real question is what will it be? I bet there will be a new battle them for when you engage in a battle that didn't start by pulling off a mask.

Who's Kasumi? I assume it's that red headed girl from P5R right? Does anyone have the link?

Maybe. The only reference I have is Persona 4 Golden and Marie. We'll have to wait and see.

I do actually like how her leather jacket has ruffles at the end like a dress

It's sorta dumb but I think it looks cool.
