Some more details have leaked from the Persona magazine (only published in Japan) on Persona 5:
Most likely same as yesterday’s leaks, but here is some new info (interview with series director, Hashino):
- The game will feature “life-sized” character models in the environments to make it look more realistic.
- The high school setting is similar to P3, but the atmosphere is completely different from P3 or P4. But, he assures fans that this does not mean that the game will change in a manner that the fans cannot accept.
- After all their goal is to make Persona 5 a game, which will bring players passion, tears, laughs and satisfaction.
http://digifreaks.tumblr.com/post/68257 ... s-magazineCharacter models is a big change from P3 and P4. Now it sounds like they're going for a Catherine style approach to the models. I wonder if they will continue giving us free use of the camera (P3 & P4 style), or if it will be fixed like it was with Catherine? And will they keep the cel shading and evolve it? Or have an altogether new style for us to be wowed by?
Also interesting (and exciting) that Hashino keeps reiterating that 5's atmosphere will be completely different from 3 & 4. I also recall Meguro also stating around a year or two ago that the music for 5 will be a massive change from 4's. It's been so long since an original OST came from Meguro now (Catherine's OST was mostly comprised of classical pieces remixed or rearranged; and it was great, no doubt about it). His last original score/soundtrack was Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey...almost five years ago. Really excited to see what style he goes for next, the guy sure is versatile and forever changing.
