Persona 5 Information: Protagonist, Setting, Design, Dungeon via Famitsu
Atlus shocked the world in the Persona stream just last week by showing off the awesome Persona 5 trailer. Now Famitsu has managed to reveal some really interesting pieces of Persona 5 information that reveal a lot more about the game. Here’s what we know from their interview:
• The protagonist is in his second year of high school.
• In standard Persona fare he moves to a new school at the beginning of the school year, this time in the city
• He lives in a coffee shop owned by acquaintances of his parents
• The game starts out in Shibuya, but takes place in various parts of Tokyo
• The protagonist has some sort of problem he will need to fight, related to him being trapped in a “mental prison” in the trailer
• The dungeon in the trailer was not automatically generated
• There is a social-link feature in the game
• The protagonist’s initial Persona is called Arsène
• Persona summoning is accompanied by the Japanese onomatopoeia “ブチッ” (buchi) which is a snapping sound (either physically or mentally), unlike previous Persona titles which used “カッ” (kka) which is something often used to depict a flash or clicking sound.
If you somehow missed it or just want to see it again, here’s the trailer from last week. We can’t stop watching it!
