Atlus and Koei Tecmo published a newPersona 5 Scrambletrailer focusing on Ryuji Sakamoto. The funniest moment is a short exchange between Sophia, Morgana, and Ryuji, probably during their first meeting. Sophia mistook Ryuji for a skeleton and Morgana for a cat, triggering the usual reactions you’re familiar with.
I personally like everyone inPersona 5and Ryuji is no exception. Mamoru Miyano did a great job voicing him as always. you may feel his distress when Makoto tells him to not forget his summer homework.
The officialPersonaTwitter also shared a new gameplay video with Sophia fighting in her Sophie persona. The tweet mentions how all of Sophie’s skills have an interrogation mark in their names, to show how we’re not sure if the Pythos thing she’s using is really a persona or not. My own guess is, seeing she’s an AI, it’s some kind of persona emulating program, and the skills are emulated too.
Atlus is regularly pushing out these character intro trailers, at least one per week. The previous ones focused onJoker and the Velvet Room, and there’s one forSophia/Sophie. I also recommend checking outour summary of an interview with the game’s staff from Famitsu. They most notably mentionedP5Suses an engine Koei Tecmo made, which is probably why the game seems to actually be uglier thanPersona 5 Royal. Like, there’s a lot of aliasing. Not like I care myself though. I’m super hyped for this sequel.
You can check some gameplay herealong with some commentsfrom the staff.We also coveredP5S’s story details and the character profiles for thenew characters revealed so far, Sophia, Zenkichi, and Alice.You can also check thevarious commercials for the game and the first trailer here.
Persona 5 Scramble The Phantom Strikerswill launch on February 20 in Japan, on PS4 and Switch. Atlus also did anEnglish restreamof the game’s first live stream with a VTuber. I didn’t watch that restream myself as I don’t have the time and I’m not really fond of VTubers. In any case, while the game wasn’t announced in the west yet, it’ll definitely come over.
