I've watched barely any of the videos but here's my theory, let's see how wrong I am:
Inside each person's palace, the world changes to reflect their heart. So why does Igor say that reality and fantasy in the world of P5 is blending together? Because the world itself (or at the very least, Tokyo) is someone's palace. Everyone in P5 is trapped inside a kind of mega palace that belongs to either a human whose persona/shadow form is Yaltabaoth, or is the actual god Yaltabaoth.
The true ending of the game goes full gnosticism and the party has to EMANCIPATE(tm) themselves from this false god's world by obtaining knowledge of the true reality. Gameplay wise, possibly this knowledge will be obtained by communicating and gaining knowledge from the combined life experiences of MC's social links, and MC's final persona could be Lucifer, who granted knowledge to man. The line "might be in someone's dream again" hints that the ending where the party piles into the van and goes to the ocean is the neutral ending, where the party defeats some major threat, but thinks the battle is over and that they were inside someone's dream somehow. They fail to recognize that they are still trapped.

Atlus more like HACKtlus

Here are some images I just grabbed. They show the dungeon maps, achievement icons and various location artwork.
It doesn't even look like Goro's in the picture anymore. Why would it be him?
God, we were such fucking fools. Seriously Atlus? You made Persona 4 again?
Jonathan Bennett
Makatofags blown the fuck out

>building on a ship what >Ryuji punches his knwee after the jump ;_;7 >all that focus on Anne OTP
Liam Rivera
Seriously, making Goro the traitor ? Even though it was obvious ? Even though it's basically P4 ? Did they deliberately made Goro a copy paste version of Light ? Why didn't they have the balls to make the waifubait the traitor ? Would have made more sense (seeing as how her father seems assholish) instead of taking the easy way out.
Atlus fucked up. This is a real hype killer to me to be honest, I expected better from P5.
yea im super mad
Carter Lewis
JUSTICE
Matthew Nguyen
EVERYONE'S GETTIN MOLESTED
Isaiah Thompson
Note that he has six wings like Lucy typically does and twelve wings upon his halo.
Yaldabaoth has ten upon his halo.
Anthony Morgan
Are you fucking kidding me
Josiah Scott
Pretty clear we get to steal her from him
Jeremiah Taylor

im kind of mad because i didnt want the same fucking story mechanic and least of all the detective betrays you bullshit yet that's what we got for fuck's sake atlus
Jayden Bell

Alexander Russell
Looks like another case of the Adachis, huh.
Anthony Allen
Where my Haru shippers at?
Grayson Scott
I dont care who the traitor is, Im just mad they made a character that ends up being a waste of EXP. If we got him back later itd be fine.
Christopher Harris
makes the wait easier doesn't it?
Henry Sullivan
How do we know Goro is supposed to be a big twist? Maybe you find out early and he's just an antagonist
Julian Ward
I had a discussion with a friend over Persona 3's pacing versus Persona 4's Pacing.
He felt that 3 took way too long to get into the action and into the thick of the plot.
What are your personal thoughts on this matter?
Nathan Miller
WHAT ARE THOSE
Dominic Green
modelmaking confirmed?? shit i hope so
Jason Rodriguez
>yfw we already know the spoilers for our life and we die at the end
goddamn those 5 minutes with him in the party are going to be awesome
Joseph Perez
Seven years for another fucking Adachi character. He's a bigger waste of EXP than fucking Shinji, but at least no one felt truly bad for doing that since Shinji wasn't a goddamn traitorous SOB.
The worst part is it was so obvious, so fucking obvious.
That's not about the fact that its Goro. Its all about him killing Potter.
Nolan Allen
What will Goro's favorite food be?
Adachi has cabbages, will Goro be crazy about celery or something?
Or will his food be the protag's ass?

a.desu.sh/pdnizi.rar Here's a few various things from the files that I didn't get around to posting. It's 99% .dds files, and the staff roll. The credits are in English, but I'm not up to trying to parse it. Sorry for the rars inside rars.
Also, I got this from some file called boss way earlier, but forgot to post it since I saw the analyst boss names right after. Don't even remember where it was. >MORUGANA_BATTLE >KAMOSIDA_BOSS >KATSUSHIKA_BOSS >KANESHIRO_BOSS >CAIRO_BOSS >FUTABA_BOSS >FIANCE_BAT >OKUMURA_BOSS >AKECHI_FIRST_BATTLE >GATEKEEPER_DARKZONE_BOSS >GATEKEEPER_DICE_BOSS >SLOT_ENYRY_BATTLE >ESCAPE_BATTLE >SAE_BOSS >AKECHI_BOSS >SHIDO_BOSS >VELVET_SCENARIO_BAT >LAST_BOSS_BATTLE >YUSUKE_COOP_BATTLE And a billion normal "GATE_KEEPER_BATTLE" in between everything.
Julian Wood
Are any of them particularily miffed that Goro is the mole?
Sushi, user. Come on.
John Watson
>phantom just fucking sitting there when will this silent protagonist meme die
Jaxon Hall
so if goro gets fucked over by sae who is the endgame boss... that means he was her loyal minion all along or some shit, right? that makes him even more of a waste of EXP than before.
Zachary Nguyen
Didn't read lol
Nathan Jones
Crying a river.
Cooper Miller
Might really be Lucy, and it would go with the theme.
Going from Arsene Lupin to Lucifer though. Heh.
Logan Lee
Kinda deflated my hype
Connor Rodriguez
holy shit
Hudson Barnes
someone told me literally last thread futaba wouldn't be a boss

Brandon Morris
>YUSUKE_COOP_BATTLE w-what, why do you fight him in his co-op? Is he literally Yosuke?
Mason Stewart
That's us tho, they're ready for waifu-ing everyone in next 48 hours.
Lucas Baker
It's time so evoke our Personas.
Joseph Wood
Sae isn't endgame. She's the right hand man.
Her title is envy, so she should be working under the real big bad.
Goro is working under her, so in the long run he's even more useless.
I'm not that disappointed with Goro being the traitor as I didn't expect that much from him anyway. At least it comes pretty early and he's entertainingly batshit.
Carter Watson
goddamn
so who IS endgame?
David Robinson
>At least it comes pretty early and he's entertainingly batshit. Doubtful. The heist where they get caught looks to be in October or November.
some god of some bullshit probably. Seems like they are Noah's arking the world.
Julian Sanchez
Yeah, but it was stated to be halfway through the game.
Aiden Kelly
So basically doing the Justice co-op is a waste of fucking time. Gotcha.
Not like the Justice persona have ever done me any good. I don't care if I sound sour grapes right now.

Camden Hughes
This. That was cute as fuck
Joshua Kelly
Can someone explain pic related?
Samuel Cruz
Yaldalucifugo whatever.
He's pride. Some creepy kid. Probably a real God who wants some bullshit like "humans are blind in their indulgence so I'll trap them in a prison or desires" or something.
Basically just Izanami all over again. Only this time even less impressive and important. Like the Evil Entity from P4U.

So how's the situation with portraits?
Ethan Evans
No user everything we see shows humans frozen as the palace swallows reality.
He wants CONTROL of humanity to trap them in the material universe forever.
Also known as a Lawfag.

What a waste of a good outfit.
Xavier Campbell
>Big Bad is a Lawfag Thank god
William Lee
Was anyone seriously expecting anything but a god embodying something to be the final boss?
Tyler Moore
yusuke swings both ways confirmed
futaba was a fucking NEET who didn't leave her room and now she's on the beach with her friends, confirmed
anneryuji best ship confirmed
;_;
Xavier Edwards
>Big bad is Izanami/Nyx 2.0
user you can't even say it's Izanami/Nyx 2.0 because Arsene Lupin has absolutely nothing to do with the Pride demon. They went from French lit to Christian myth.
It's might just be a tutorial for the coop system. There's also stuff like SUB_BATTLE, GUN_BATTLE, AllOut_Attack_BATTLE, CHANGE_BATTLE, etc. That one just stood out because it's at the end, whereas all the tutorial-sounding ones are at the start.
It was data\field\script\boss.bf
Juan Watson
I was hoping that the final boss would be GODMODE Erebus and you'd get to permanently kill it and steal the P3tag from the seal.
Connor Roberts
That's cancer. Why do you want to ruin P3's ending so much?
Anthony Cruz
Maybe it's because I never played 4, but I haven't seen anything particularly disappointing so far
Can't tell if this is shitposting, or people are actually feeling let down
Liam Watson
Makes the 5 month wait kinda easy desu
Levi Kelly
>you'd get to permanently kill it
You do realize that if you permanently kill Erebus, you will change humanity for the worst, right?
Hudson Price
That fag who kept harping on about P3MC returning has been eternally btfo
