It's not him baiting anyone though. They could have been working on a deal or something and couldn't confirm either way. It's always wise to only operate on what gets 100% confirmed as we've seen dozens of times over the years. Well, sometimes things are confirmed(Rise of the Tomb Raider, Metro Exodus) and still don't come to pass immediately lol.
I thought so too but this is Atlus. The Royal will be a full priced game and the Switch version of P5 will be the base game with possibly more stuff for full price but without Royal. Later down the line they will port Royal to Switch and again sell it for full price.
This is another good point. Who's the one talking to her? I heard someone on another site say Akechi but I'm not familiar with the Japanese VA's.
It could be her trying to throw them off her trail.(and before anyone says anything about her talking, Joker talked before the P5 reveal too.)
Because if she was the main character she would only be able to reply in one simple unvoiced line, duh
Seriously though, it can definitely be a red herring along those lines but that would be one mean misleading teaser lol
Knowing Atlus, I wouldn't be surprised, lol. Keeping my expectations in check.
I would love for all of this to be true, but this trailer doesn't really show us much and... it's Atlus. I'm confident that the Switch version will screw people over in some way (and i'm not talking about the downgrades to get it running)
I would like this a lot more then this new female character just being a female version of Joker.
I reaaaally hope there's a DLC option. Give me the chance to go back in with NG+.
Or if not let me import my save.

The original P5 was released on the PS3 as well. The Switch should be able to handle P5 just fine.
I'm hoping it's not a post-game scenario, pretty much everything post-game done with P3/4 was pointless. The only reason it worked out with P2 was because IS had an inconclusive ending, and that it was planned to be a duology from the start.
I don't think she'll be a female MC, but I think she might be either a new playable character (potentially having Goro's skills?) that gets added in the dungeon prior to Sae's (something that could allow for much needed character development during this time of the game). Or like how others said, she could have a side story that ties into her being playable, kind of like how Patty was integrated into the Tales of Vesperia re-release. Or worst case scenario, she's another Marie.
I really don't think it will be a post game thing though. Along with what I said previously, Persona 5 Dancing really drives the point home of the cast not having any access to their powers or the metaverse anymore too (especially with the latter being gone).

Suit yourself. I'm just tired of the same old song and dance everytime a game that people were convinced would come to Switch is announced for another platform. It feels desperate. When Spyro was announced for PS4 and Xbox people had convinced themselves that Nintendo, for some reasons, would want to announce it on their own term. Sounds familiar?
And when has that ever been a thing? To announce your game for one platform, and wait a bit to announce it on another? It would be confusing messaging and I don't see why a company would do it. At least for P5 Royal the preorders aren't opened so it's slightly less ridiculous.
It happened in a past. Persona 3 FES was exactly this as far I remember.
She's talking to herself, so it doesn't make sense to do that in addition to the fact that Joker would never say those words. Atlus also wouldn't put that in the trailer just to trick people.
The character being a first year instead of a second year strongly points to her being a different character as well.
Well the next one, April 24th, is this year's Persona Music Live, where they always drop the huge reveals. So that'll be the 'real' reveal and actually give us a ton.
Smash leak had ponytail
New girl has ponytail and looks MCish
I think atlus is fucking with me.
Atlus why must you do this to me.

Wasn't Hashino quoted on saying not wanting to do something "crazy" like a fem protagonist again when he talked about Persona 4 Golden?
Day 1 as usual.
I hope to have a new FeMC, as the FeMC in P3P was very worthwile (new Social Links)

At least we're waiting 4 weeks this time, I think it's alright.
Better than waiting 3 months, I guess.
Now the big question is, since we know Smash has this female protagonist (or whatever she is) playable as a Joker alt, how do they talk about it before Atlus properly reveals her and her game at the Persona Super Live ?
I played P3 Portable and P4 Golden after playing their previous versions and still enjoyed them but I also absolutely love Persona and I'm always looking for more.
It's still before then end of April technically so worst case scenario we're not getting Joker until the end of the month.
Reading more here, yeah I could see her not being a gender swap, but a new protag in another story. But she's definitely the protag, she wears the same uniform as Joker. She ain't a non-playable character.
Well, if the Switch version included the content from Royal (whatever this ends up being) it would need to be downgraded from the PS4 version.
And yes, I know that the original game is on the PS3.
What clinches it for me is her apparently being a first-year. That irreconcilable with her being Joker.
Hopefully she is the main character and this is more analogous to SMT4: Apocalypse than p3p or p4: Golden.
I hear ya. Its weird though cuz the Switch is hot fire in Japan and Atlus not putting P5 on it (which is also a PS3 game) could be missing alotta money.
