"Persona 5" is a role-playing video game which is currently in development by Atlus.
It focuses on the Protagonist's life after he is transferred to Shujin High School in Tokyo. There he meets two other students, Anne and Ryuji, as well as a talking cat with the ability to shape-shift named Morgana. He doubles as a cat burglar named "The Phantom" and works with his friends for heists.
The trailer for "Persona 5" gave fans a feel of the whole game and the actual gameplay. It even showed the game's animation, in-game menus and new characters. The main characters are created with the intention of appearing like thieves. The Protagonist will have his original Persona summoning demon named Arsene.
"It's been a massive outpouring and we're really happy to see people are into it as much as they are. It's a huge relief to all of us on the team... Still, it's also indicative that the anticipation is running really high among people... So it's not without some pressure coming our way, too," Director Katsura Hashino said.
Shigenori Soejima, the Art Designer of "Persona 5," revealed that fans are gushing about how stylish the game looks and that the style is only a reflection of their efforts to improve the game.
"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," Hashino added.
"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... I wanted to ensure that such visual elements of the game were similarly straightforward, too."
According to MasterHerald.com, it has been recently reported that the development of "Persona 5" has not encountered any setbacks and may be released late this 2015.
