While gamers want the Persona 5 update on the release date, Atlus hasn't said any word yet. However, more details about the game have been leaked based on the 3-minute teaser released on its official Youtube page.
This revealed the gameplay interface and possible features through high-end cinematics. At least, by this sign, Persona 5 is likely to be playable in the near future as opposed to simply being just some plan.
Alongside this trailer, Gematsu makes a report on the Famitsu magazine article which focuses on the game's setting. Shibuya, which embodies the big city life atmosphere, is the one chosen for Persona 5.
As with the released video, there was a scene with busy traffic of cars and people, with tall buildings all around.
An interview with the game director, Katsura Hashino shed light on the game's philosophy and development. He said, "If there's one thing that lies at the center of our themes in the game, it's the notion people have that there are things that they want to do with their lives but can't actually realize for one reason or another."
Furthermore, the talk went on at GamingBolt as he continued, "One of the goals in making Persona 5, then, is to give those people an outlet to explore those thrills and experience that sense of freedom that the protagonists themselves have within the context of a game."
In line with this, fans are hoping that Persona 5 could adapt some of the features met in its previous parts in the series.
One of which would be the option to use an alternate main character, as in Persona 3. The player could choose between playing a male or a female protagonist, which will consequently, have changing effects later in the game.
This further captivates the said philosophy as it translates into gaming experience.
Despite the continuing Persona 5 update leaks, there is no saying when the game will finally around. With its teaser and commentary, though, it's one of the few games players will find to be worth the wait.
