Persona Central article.

Reddit post of the above.

A scan of one of the pages of the article, showing that Joker is part of the audience watching Kasumi dance in the reveal trailer. The spotlights in the background suggest this takes place during the school festival and that this is some sort of big event: maybe what Kasumi’s class/ gymnastics group brought to the fair?

Most of this is a reiteration of content from Morgana Report 3, but the little new info and clarifications we did get are still useful to write down. Also, feel free to check out everything we know about P5R so far in the masterpost here (Reddit version here).

New Personas:

We already knew of Ryuji’s William, but the article tells us that Ann’s new Persona is Celestine, while Yusuke’s is Gorochiki. Celestine is the name of Carmen’s original actress and Gorochiki is another name for Goemon, so this confirms that all third-tier Personas will be based on the user’s original Persona.

Kichijoji:

The article clarifies that darts is only for improving Baton Pass Ranks and billiards is for increasing the power of technical attacks “and other effects in battle”. Considering Morgana Report 2 had a shot of Makoto inflicting technical damage against an unfrozen foe with a standard attack, it seems there will be more ways of dealing such damage. We’ve also seen an example of the “other effects” in Morgana Report 3 – one such bonus is an increased critical rate.

Also, the old clothes shop is confirmed to accept any gear, not just clothing/ armour.

New events:

There’s a brief note here about the three new events we’ve seen in Ryuji, Ann and Yusuke’s trailers, but I’ve already talked about (and everyone already suspects) that there’s something more sinister going on with all of them. In fact, listing all three of them together just makes the one that could have been legitimate (Shiho returning) just as suspicious as the others!

Battle:

We have a little more info on characteristics! The article gives more examples of the bonuses they provide: reducing SP costs (which we saw in the Report with Pheonix) and increasing Skill damage. So it seems all characteristics will provide a bonus with no drawbacks (unlike Pokemon, for example, where a boon in one stat costs a decrease in another).

We also have confirmation of a Haru/ Makoto Showtime, which happens to be based on female wrestling. This brings our list of Showtimes (thus far) to:

Haru/Morgana

Ryuji/Makoto

Ryuji/Yusuke

Ann/Morgana

Ann/Yusuke

Haru/Makoto

Some people have assumed each teammate will only get two pairings. If so, more than half the group has already been accounted for! If we indeed only get two pairings per character, I suspect the final set will be:

Joker/Kasumi

Joker/Akechi

Kasumi/Akechi

Joker and Akechi speaks for itself due to the parallels between them, as does Kasumi and Joker due to the bond they seem to share from what we’ve seen of them thus far. One of the first screenshots we got of Royal was a scene with Kasumi and Akechi, which suggests those two have some sort of relationship too. Maybe Joker will also get a Showtime with Futaba, so she isn’t left out and you’ll always have at least one Showtime up your sleeve?
