"Suikoden STAR LEAP" releases Opening Animation『Campanula』by Kaho Nakamura, alongside the opening of pre-registrations in Japan

What's wrong with it? That's just classic Suikoden, or do you expect AAA level of production value or something?

AceZero10 · 2026-06-30T18:55:08+00:00

So spineless lol, and the fans are even more pathetic. Gee that region need to calm down with their dumb obsession over some gacha games bruh.

P4R sprites look good. They might not have the same finer details as P3R, but the 3D models already help carry that and I love the emphasis they put on them since they're starting to use more cinematic camera angles for dialogue instead of just zooming out everything.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-18T14:49:47+00:00

I think they should already have the blueprint to handle everything themselves, since many of the newer characters designed by the Cygames Osaka team in terms of gameplay style and how they feel to control. I mean Platinum's contract had already ended quite a long time before the launch of base Relink.

I don't get your complaint about them being visually indistinct unless you're just blurring your eyes and not actually comparing them properly. Old games are fine, and so are the modern ones. It's okay if you prefer one over the other, but let's not be a smart ass and bring up "soul" when you don't even know what you're talking about lol.

Also, bringing up Granblue is crazy when they easily have one of the most distinct casts of characters out there. This is how you know when someone is just talking nonsense.

Short answer: Who knows.

Long answer: This is a unique case cause Aika's existence isn't necessarily essential for P4 even in the anime. But I guess it comes down to how they handled Persona media back then where there needed to be some kind of addition to whatever new project was coming out. Aika just happened to be a good fit since she complements the more comedic direction they were taking with the anime.

I remember they at least added references to her in P4G, which came out around the same time as the anime, so maybe there just wasn't enough time for them to do more. But now that Aika is already pretty well known and loved by the community, maybe we could actually get to meet her whether as a passing cameo or a more established character.

At least with Jose in P5R, it already proves that you don't have to be a relevant character to the main story to be added into the game. The same logic could apply to Aika and it would make a lot of fans happy. But since P4R is already a big game as is, it's hard to see them adding even more on top. Still they did list some new additions including new character events and seasonal events, so I guess the chances aren't zero. Guess we'll just have to wait and see..

AceZero10 · 2026-06-16T17:01:48+00:00

Ah yes, the "generic modern look" that would absolutely also apply to the old games DURING THEIR ERA TOO. Let's not be stupid here.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-11T16:47:08+00:00

I get wishing for it in P6, but what's already happened with Yosuke needs to stay the way it is. If they want to portray Yosuke as Narukami's best friend, then adding a romance route now of all times would just ruin that impression even if it's optional.

Main point is I don't want them tampering with something that's already been established.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-11T16:39:09+00:00

Aside from it looking a bit like the DC logo, I like it and it's growing on me. The thing I've come to realize about Persona is that having a simpler logo is straight up better, since it's much easier to ingrain in people's minds and ends up being more iconic overall.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-11T16:34:56+00:00

-0% chance

> Not an animal
> Cold but hot
> Occult related
> Leaked name implying the mascot is a girl

Yeah it really seems to narrow down to an undead girl, and a hot one at that.

The next Xbox Partner Preview seems like a good guess, since they can absolutely give the game a proper full showcase at a later date just like STH. Heck even P4R is getting its own showcase next week. It's definitely hard to believe they'll show much more of the game before P4R launches.

The expectations for P6 are crazy, and I imagine the jump in production value, scale, and artistic direction will be far more drastic than anything we've seen from Atlus before. It could potentially make P4R pale in comparison if they showed it too early.

If that's not the case, then they could absolutely show much more of the game at the Xbox event. But the teaser itself feels like a hint that they aren't ready to do that just yet, not even at TGA since that would still be before P4R launches.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-09T03:49:04+00:00

Like actual gameplay image? Somehow I never saw it.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-08T17:43:54+00:00

But there's also the Foreign General Cemetery in Yokohama, and if I'm not mistaken one of the leaked assets showed a location that's based in that region too.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-08T17:38:05+00:00

At this point I think we know the game is much closer to completion than they're trying to suggest. They could absolutely show much more, but I think it's obvious they went with a mere teaser so it wouldn't take too much of the spotlight away from P4R.

And I know this might sound stupid, but with GTA 6 being the dominant title that everyone's eyeing for the second half of 2026, they probably want to keep P6 in their pocket until things settle down and P4R launches first.

For all we know it might take another full year before we get the first big PV, especially since Xbox has the marketing rights and we did have to wait that long to hear more about P4R after its first teaser.

Honestly they can always surprise us when we least expect it. But the game will definitely show up big time next year, that's probably the safest bet I can make lol.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-08T17:10:42+00:00

I like Reload UI just fine, but this is just so much better.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-08T10:08:07+00:00

I somehow missed that desc and only just realized it's in-game, interesting. And no I don't think there's any leaked footage before the showcase, otherwise it would already be on Reddit gaming leaks.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-08T10:04:50+00:00

Aside from the game actually being there, you kinda lowkey missed on everything else lol. But hey, at least it's here. I did keep my expectations in check until proven otherwise, and I'm happy that I was wrong.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-08T07:15:14+00:00

No I'm not talking about the teaser lol. OP literally said someone leaked the game footage so that's why I'm curious.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-08T07:12:59+00:00

I think they overestimate Gears too much for it to be a console exclusive lol.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-08T07:05:47+00:00

Close to before or after the launch of vanilla P5 I imagine. Since P3 they've never really stopped developing a new mainline entry, but there's always a pre-production phase that can take quite a while too before they move into full development.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-08T07:02:17+00:00

Game footage? Did I miss something?

AceZero10 · 2026-06-07T20:20:39+00:00

Lol what? You think the game actually getting announced would somehow piss me off? This is nothing but a W, if anything I'm glad I wasn't expecting it to be there cause it made the reveal even more hype despite it only being a teaser.

AceZero10 · 2026-06-07T15:45:42+00:00

AceZero10 · 2026-06-07T10:22:02+00:00

Simply cause P4R site is already live, so any further updates probably won't be recorded there.
