In September, Atlus gave us a first glimpse of the main characters of the "Strangers of hearts" in Persona 5 and their Persona, and now the official website has updated the profiles of The Personas. Please poke here for previous information.
From the previous information, we already know that the theme of this game is "strange thief"! Therefore, the protagonists' Persona is different from the various mythological characters in previous works, and this time the Persona prototype is a great thief/warrior from various eras or different works, which will surely bring players a new experience!
Attached is a character archetype introduction for a quick peek:
<h3>
Arsene：</h3>
The protagonist's early Persona. Wearing a mask and carrying a huge black wing, he is full of mystery.
It is based on Arthur Robin, the famous thief Lupin. is a rogue created by the French writer Maurice Lubbon. He was intelligent, thoughtful, mercurial, and wealthy, and often stole the property of the illegal rich to help the poor, so the poor people gave him the titles of "rogue thief", "strange thief", "strange thief gentleman", and he also won the admiration of countless pure love women at that time.
Captain Kidd：</h3>
The early Persona of Ryuji Sakamoto. The shape of the skeleton, the right hand is a cannon prosthesis, and the foot pedal cannon door is open in a huge black boat.
It is based on William Kidd, born in 1645. During the Anglo-French War around 1690, he successfully maintained the trade lanes between the United States and Britain. During the Grand Alliance War, Kidd was ordered to capture an enemy privateer, and he was later licensed by the local governor to conduct armed privateering in the Caribbean. He was hanged in 1701 on charges of piracy, and ironically Kidd did not admit to being a pirate until his death.
Carmen：</h3>
The early Days of the Tall Roll Apricot Persona. Dressed in a long crimson dress, the posture of playing with men with rose vines is impressive.
Based on Carmen, it is a novella by the French realist writer Mérimée. Carmen is a gypsy girl who can sing and dance, has a charming appearance, and has a hot personality and some evil character. Under the cover of working in textile factories, fortune telling and selling art, she acted as an eye and ear for the secret robber syndicate, ignoring the regulations of the authorities and taking pleasure in breaking them. She sometimes annoyed foreign officers at the port docks; sometimes smuggled bootlegs in jungle canyons. She ignored chastity and morality, used hue as a weapon for profit, freely entered and exited the mansions of the magnates, walked the rivers and lakes, and caused the rich tycoons to lose their wealth and die in her thousands of customs.
Fox:</h3>
Black Cat Morgana's early Persona. Hide his identity, a mysterious swordsman dressed in a gentleman's dress. There is a signature "Z" mark around the waist.
The prototype is Zorro. It first appeared in 1919 by American writer Johnston McCooley's serialized popular magazine story The Curse of Capestrano. The protagonist, Diego, is a rogue Robin Hood-style mortal hero, who is originally the son of a landlord, but is willing to do chivalry, eliminate violence, and rob the rich and help the poor. As a result, he incarnated as Zorro and conducted covert operations, including a black mask, a black hat, a black cloak, a black mount, a sword, and a long whip. "Zorro" means "fox" in Spanish, and whenever this black desert fox is haunted, he always uses his sword to mark the "Z".
Goemon：</h3>
The early Persona of Yusuke Kitagawa. Eye-catching Oriental-style costumes, holding huge smoking guns, and the face of a Kabuki actor are his characteristics.
The prototype is Ishikawa Goemon, a Japanese yoshi thief during the Sengoku period. Dressed as a businessman during the day, he went around spying on the homes of wealthy families and "robbing" them at night. He was arrested for stealing a valuable tea vessel from Toyotomi Hideyoshi while stealing a valuable tea vessel, the Chidori Incense Burner, and was executed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi for boiling it. After Ishikawa Goemon's death, he received sympathy and praise from the general public, and a large number of literary and artistic works praising him appeared, such as plays, scripts, novels, singing, and kabuki. There are also film works in modern times.
Persona 5 is scheduled to land on PS4/PS3 in the summer of 2016, and although the game has been postponed, the anticipation is still undiminished. The protagonist's Persona introduction ends here, and more detailed information about "Persona 5" please look forward to follow-up reports.
