Plus news about the anime series
Persona 5isn’t too far off if you’re the importing type, and Atlus has opted to give the hype machine another rev by releasing the game’s intro today. Animated byGhost in the Shellproducers Production I.G., the intro features all the characters revealed so far (save for a certain young detective), as well as revealing more lyrics from the game’s theme song.
It looks great, but I’m ever so slightly bummed that Sakura, Haru, and Makoto don’t get much screen time in the sequence. OtherPersonatitles were a little better at hiding who the “main” characters of the story were, y’know?
As for new information about the game, there’s not much in the intro that I didn’t already touch onin my last trailer breakdownor that Atlus USA didn’t confirm elsewhere, but it’s cool to have the whole sequence available from an official source. ThePersona 5website did, however, debut a handful of new character trailersfor the game’s “Co-op” feature, (which I’ll get to translating soon-ish), as well as announcing a September 3rd debut forPersona 5: The Day Breakers, an animated prologue whose details will tie into parts of the game proper.
And that’s that, so far. If you’re jonesing for morePersonaand have an hour to kill, I’ve taken the liberty of putting compilations of the extantPersonaintros below, courtesy of Youtube usersTheEryk24andKillScottKill.
