Atlus’s first HD Persona foray is already living up to its promise of “mature themes” – the recently released preview video includes a glimpse of a full in game sex scene.
The video can be inspected below (the sex scene is at 1:10):
Player 1
Presumably these will survive into the final Japanese release unscathed, although whether the puritans who run Sony’s Japanese operation consent to something as daring as a nipple remains to be seen.
He looks like the guy from cowboy bebop.
Instead of getting more powerful by Fusion of maxed out Social Links, we'll get a Game Over if Vincent gets it on with Catherine???
storyline remind me of Naoki Urasawa manga 'Monster'
Some people need to calm down a little. The game won't be over-censored by Sony because the game itself is made and marketed for the adult audience.
Just look at Sega's Yakuza games on PS3. It was Sega who had the final decision on censoring the game, not Sony.
They were censored nonetheless.
I was sold on this game when I saw Studio 4 degrees C. If they bring this game over, with original dialogue and uncut, I can guarantee my support of it, even to the ends of an overpriced, collectors edition, pre-order.
This looks pretty good in terms of concept and style. Do I hear Horo (or was it Holo now) from Spices and Wolves?
Well, I think this one will be one of those games that get pretty good reviews but will sell poorly in the US/EU if it ever gets US/EU release(remember Killer 7, No More Heroes?). It's just too weird for the American/European market. Yeah, I like this game already after watching the video and will probably buy it when it's out, but that does not mean everyone will buy it because the weird style which will scare away a lot of gamers. And above all the retailers here probably won't carry these anime-looking games, maybe just a few specialized gamesshop will carry this game and it will not help the sell at all.

Sheep? This is one pervy eroge.
And now we know what will be cut out of the american release. Surprise,surprise!
Now, release the loli and let the drama unfold.
On a different note, i really do like it when Atlus shows off its balls of steel. I just love that company!
This looks awesome. It's got a dark trippy feel to it. Atlus, you have outdone yourselves yet again.
2:08 Male lead jaw drop. A PRETTY DAMN BIG jaw drop for a serious game. Well in real life finding yourself in bed with a babe like that, Iam not really surprised.
Uh... sheep?
this is awesome. i hope they release it in Europe!
I wonder if you can choose to be a girl
hawt yuri secks taim
Oh come on Heavy Rain had a strip scene and female nudity - Sony WILL allow mature content on the console as long as its not pure porn...and in that corner we have Red Dead - its not porn but it was sex for sex sake.
So I don't know why Sankaucomplex is making such a big deal about Sony censoring it...
It is somewhat of a big deal because the teaser doesn't exactly show anything really shocking despite what Atlus claims, just hints of disturbing conduct. However, for the faint heart, that is already a lot to stomach...
The other issue is that the concept of this game revolves around Catherine, who basically haunts Vincent. Her indecency is the crux of the story. Unless the story gets washed out by the game play, I would not assume that one or two nudity scenes will be all there is to it because it would be a bit disappointing to fans if Atlus let the cat out of the bag this early.
Anyways, until gameplay details are revealed, all we can do is keep our eyes open.
Might-be-slightly-inaccurate translation of the trailer:
Vincent (Yamadera Kouichi): say, Catherine. Have you ever dreamed you were... dying? Well, actually... dreamed you were getting killed.
Catherine (Sawashiro Miyuki): Not getting killed, I don't think so. I dreamed I was killing, though.
[The ...first "adult" game from the Persona team]
[Animation: Studio 4°C]
[Character Design: Soejima Shigenori (Persona 3, Persona 4)]
[Sound Composer: Meguro Shouji (Persona 3, Persona 4)]
[Director: Hashino Katsura (Persona 3, Persona 4, SMT III Nocturne)]
Newscaster: A young man living alone was found dead in his apartment, in a way you
[Mysterious rumors, mysterious death]
Vincent: I keep getting chased by something...
Vincent: It's fucking scary.
Some guy: Nah, that thing that you die when you see nightmares, that's just an urban legend man.
Barman (Koyasu Takehito): There's still tomorrow, but we might be dead then.
[Mysterious woman]
Catherine: You've grown quite fond of me, didn't you? It's alright... you can do whatever you want to me.
Vincent: What the hell... is this??
[NIGHTMARES, WAKING UP]
[DEATH, ESCAPE]
[And now, they begin... a nightmare on every night...]
(they used the kanji for "dance" instead of the kanji for "every", so it's like they're dancing every night or smth)
(is that Catherine?): I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!
2:07 "oh my god! YOU'RE GUY?!"
It's a trap! ^_^
hm.. looks somewhat interesting. Maybe later on I'll watch a walkthrough.
Sheep man FTW!!
but... is he going to beat them to death with his pillow ?
Let's hope it's more than just sex scene
This kind of reminds me of Saya no Uta minus the 'world of foul twisted flesh' aspect. Creepy as all fuck off. I'd love to play it, but the odds of it making it out to the west unfuckedwith? Slim to none.
lol Catherine like from Gameboy Wars Advance
and Mario
DAY ONE PURCHASEEEEEE
XD "Persona foray" and "full in game sex scene". Quick to assume anything with shit for evidence. Complete idiots write these articles. I think this'll be my last visit to the awful entity that is Sankaku.
Looks highly artistic
hooray ! was expecting P5 but this game looks awesome, can't wait for NA release.
hopefully Kazuma Kaneko will be involved in this series ...
PURE WIN!!
needs female protagonist to have lots of yuri with
ooohohhhh
Great, another good game series ruined. It was a good idea to make the main character older but now turning it into a hentai game has just ruined it for me and other fans.
Enjoy your cartoon porn virgin basement dwellers.
i think the game has a crazy art style and i wonder what the game play will be like
Finally, a PS3 erotic title! Now we MUST exercise everything necessary to make ATLUS import this and translate it into US!
May the overwhelming power of US demands force ATLUS to submission.
that guy has creepy eyes i hope he's not the MC
i was amazed how far his jaw could drop
In other news, I want that song in the last half of it.
"zettai ni urusanai kara" the end made me lol
Holy shit! I must have this fucking game!
Atlus games always have great style for soundtrack: Rock in Nocturne, Pop in P3, Electronica in P4...
i wonder if they'll do classical music for this?
World Map: Mozart clarinet concerto, 3rd mov.
Cities: Shostakovic piano concerto No.2, 1st mov.
Dungeons: Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights (from Romeo & Juliet)
Casual Battle: Mozart piano concerto No.3, Presto
Boss Battle: Shostakovic string quartet No.3, 3rd mov.
Events: Mozart's Night Queen (from the Magic Flute)
Sex Scenes: Chopin's Nocturne
2:07 you could fit like 2 big macs into that mouth o_o.
NA will never see this game. Too many puritans are in charge.
AAWESOMEEEE! ^^
So who wants to bet Stevem Blum will be his US voice actor? Spike Spiegel.
fucking awesome love the art and the atmosphere and the best of all.... Miyuki Sawashiro is the voice of the girl(Catherine?) i love her voice =)
makes me super curious of the gameplay
and Vincent half-naked + goat horns = lol
we need a full scale Eroge using this engine...!!!!
too bad it wont get released n NA without the scenes being removes
Wow, Vincent sure does have some weird dreams.
I'm not sure if I want to know what he does with the sheep in his dreams...
baaaaaa
What's with the sheeps?
I questioned myself that too when I saw Goatmen at Umineko no naku Koro ni...
Then again, with the sh*t I've seen in the Silent Hill series, I feel right at home...
Exactly. This game is sure to be a mindfuck.
