Yes, Hifumi ended up being a different character but what she was originally envisioned as was combined with Makoto.

Invented was a poor choice of words. Accessible to the public

>Goro has a father with a great body >Joker has a father with a great body What did Soejima mean by this?

>Hifumi ended up being a different character No, Hifumi is the character we got when they decided to reuse the design.
Lincoln Allen
So is the P5MC supposed to be polished or suave?
Owen Jenkins
What gets me, and likely is why people keep making the argument for "Atlus why didn't you let her be a Phatom Thief!", is that the sketch that they originally designed was for a radical-minded strategist, and they later used this sketch as the design for Hifumi...who kept the trait of being a radical-minded strategist. So we're going to keep coming back to this "why do we have two strategist characters/Makoto stole Hifumi's spot" argument because the team didn't just reuse the original design and nothing more.
Jeremiah Wood
That's exactly what I just said you fucking moron.
Alexander Bailey
Kasugayama is too far from Tokyo compared to St. Hermelin.
Sharp tongued and stand-offish. Bitches like tough guys.

Are you going to dress your Avatar like Joker, with Sonic Forces out tomorrow?

It's something, at least. Thanks, user.

Luis Brooks
Nice try Sonic Official Twitter agent. Post best Persona waifu on your front page and I'll think about it.
Or better yet, get your engineers to get the sonic forces page to look like it's hacked by medjed but after a few hours it gets fixed and painted over with a PT logo.
Alexander Torres
Reminder that Hifumi will NOT be a Phantom Thief ever.
Gavin Sullivan
No what I said was the Hifumi we got was the one that used the deign of the original radical-minded strategist, not that she was different because of her being "replace". See
For looking for the light within the darkness Does the light only exist when surrounded by darkness, and fade into other lights? Does darkness only really become darkness when light is shown elsewhere? I don't understand what I want out of life. For my Chihiro and her Justice
Noah Adams
That's not at all different from what I was saying. What she was originally envisioned as was combined with Makoto and Hifumi ended up being a different character. >you fucking moron.
Jason Clark
There's legally distinct, and then there's "we stole the model from a gunpla game and didn't tell anyone.
Aaron Murphy
Phantom is from Sumaru City!

I like the charm point-style closeups the Official Design Works had (even if some of the close-up picks are on the silly side). It's a shame they dropped them in the ENG artbook, although I get that it's probably to try to keep the page count down.
No. The strategist character wasn't even "Hifumi as she was originally envisioned," but literally nothing more than an idea they toyed with adding and decided not to because the main cast (and plot, due to needing character-specific arcs) was getting bloated as is, instead opting to incorporate the traits they considered into other characters (not just Makoto, but Yusuke and Haru as well). The strategist character as she was originally designed had almost nothing in common with the character that ultimately became Hifumi, other than her design being used as the base for her (and even then, it went through a lot of changes).
Nobody was replaced here. All that happened was that they considered an additional character for a while, decided "nah, too many characters already," instead decided to incorporate the traits (personality, backstory, role in the party) into the already existing characters, and then later ended up recycling the design as the basis for what would later become Hifumi.
See . If the clarification on Soejima's description isn't enough, IIRC there's been other remarks (in the artbook and in interviews) that Joker's intended as the dishelved-in-an-intentional-way sort of handsome prettyboy, with a focus on the "hot" sort of attractiveness rather than the "cute/innocent" sort.
Jeremiah Ward
But the more accurate image would be P4fags flipping off P5fags.
Austin Butler
You're implying that it was Hifumi that was the concept radical-minded strategist but she wasn't. All she is is the character that reuses the radical-minded strategist's original sketch design. >you fucking moron. Yes that's what you are.
Connor Martin

Kevin Ortiz
Reminder that all waifus are perfect.
Except yours. She's trash.
Dominic Peterson
The absolute state of 123fags
Henry Bailey
No one in P4 is vulgar enough to flip other characters off. Kanji might hit them with a chair though.
Nolan Cox
They thought up that character and drew a design for it, which was Hifumi. They then combined that character with Makoto and Hifumi ended up being a different character.
You really are a fucking moron.
Anthony Powell
Does Makoto ever actually come up with a plan though?
Austin Ross
Listen, there was cumming, and then there were deceptions, suddenly their world is changing and they don't have the means to keep up pace but they don't want to let down the girl they love. They'll land on their feet somehow.
Justin Adams
I didn't know diet freak girls would turn me on this much.
Bentley Morgan
The plan to kill Hifumi chances at ever becoming a Phantom Thief
Hunter Rogers
Yes, she planned the ruse cruise and Futaba helped.
Bentley Morris
The ruse cruise was equal parts Makoto and Futaba.
Ethan Reed
Well...
Bentley Richardson
P-Please stop posting Hifumi pics. I can't take it anymo- AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Levi Lee
I hope she succeeds
Christian Thompson
Why does Shido's Palace look so fucking shit compared to the original concept? Like, I can sort of understand the Diet being a "ship of state" and Japane being sunk but how does Futaba and the other Phantom Thieves totally miss the fact that they're not on solid ground?
Landon Torres
>They thought up that character and drew a design for it, which was Hifumi. No, that was the concept radical-minded strategist character. Hifumi Togo REUSED the design. Hifumi wasn't a different character because of the combination, she's a different character because she reuses the leftover concept.
You really are a fucking moron.
Jackson Thomas
Makoto wasn't really that deeply involved in it. It was all Joker, Morgana and Futaba really.
Jaxson Phillips
Executioners =/= planners.
Lucas Taylor
You're an idiot, Ryuji planned the whole thing.
Colton James
Considering Shidou's voice actor is Char's, he's either lying through his teeth or genuinely just made Shidou's Samael design unintentionally look really Char-like and the team then took the idea and ran with it. Could go either way, but even if it's the latter, I wouldn't be surprised if he was unconsciously influenced by Char's design.
The strategist design was not Hifumi. The strategist's design was later recycled as the BASIS for another character when they were working on the co-op/confidant designs because someone suggested recycling it, and that eventually led to Hifumi's creation, with even Soejima himself referring to her as a completely different character from the strategist character the design was intentionally envisioned for.

Leo Ramirez
That part in Kaneshiro's palace where they tricked some guards in the camera room
Austin Wilson
I fucking hated that palace. They made the ship move to fast and the background gave me motion sickness.
Angel Richardson
What are you even disagreeing on? We're saying the same thing you idiot.
That character was thought up and given a design, but they decided against it and combined it with Makoto. Then Hifumi turned intona different character.
Logan Long
>I take care to draw Makoto in better physical shape than the other characters. Th-thanks
Angel Baker
When they show them planning it Makoto wasn't even there.
Andrew Jones
If you're talking about when Futaba, Mana and Joker were talking alone in the room, that wasn't the ruse cruise that was just to convince Futaba to hack Goro's phone.
Justin Sanders
I prefer the name Final Fantasy Adventure 3.
I played it in japanese when I was 4. For a while I thought I'd played Chrono Trigger because it had a time traveling space ship, then I thought it was FF4. Why were 90's JRPG releases so fucked up?
Xavier Barnes
Takahashi should've quit after Xenogears. Every other Xeno game has been worse than gears.
Mason Evans
>What are you even disagreeing on? On this >Then Hifumi turned intona different character. It wasn't Hifumi, it was a design. They then scrapped the character and then reused it for Hifumi. Again, see
Ryan Gutierrez
>Makoto will never carry you in her muscular arms
Brandon Cook
Yeah that's what I'm saying. Concept Hifumi was combined with Makoto and final Hifumi ended up being a different character. Her character was scrapped but then brought back and reworked into the Hifumi we ended up with.
Tyler James
Every time Hifumi is mentioned this happens. EVERY FUCKING TIME.
Austin Nelson
>Haru fans.jpg
Ethan Bennett
Makoto is toned, not a muscle freak.
Aaron Cox
She's responsible for setting up the cognitive interrogation room and taking care of cognitive Akechi.
Hunter Foster
That's not wrong at all. Concept Hifumi is different than final Hifumi. They had an idea for her and then made a design for her, but then she got combined with Makoto and the character was canned. Then they brought her back when coming up with confidants and we got final Hifumi.
Grayson Johnson
I'm glad when I wrote that fapfic commission for /pg/ back before the jap release I made her a top on immense strength. Guess I read the art right.
Ian Fisher
I just want her to be real and in my arms.
Joseph Thompson
Kawaclaimed. Kawawriter here.
Zachary Adams
How do I date Hifumi in Hawaii?
Jose Diaz
Try more than not at all.
Hunter Allen
I don't like Makoto
Nolan Bennett
>Concept Hifumi This part is why we've been disagreeing with you. The strategist character was not "concept Hifumi." Hifumi as a character wasn't even envisioned at the time, from what we know. It was a generic design Soejima came up with for a character that could fill the strategist role for the party, that they came up with a few ideas for which were ultimately divided among other characters when they chose not to actually use the character.
Concept Hifumi is Hifumi as she's depicted here . The strategist character is not concept Hifumi, but her design was recycled as the basis for hers (and still underwent enough changes to be, as Soejima says, a completely different character; the only things that stayed the same are her hairline and arguably her face).
Brody Brown
I'm talking about when they were in the attic. Futaba is the one who bring up how to trap him.
Blake Price
It's ok to think that.
Josiah Stewart
I don't dislike Makoto and Futaba but I am jealous of the focus they got in the second half of the game compared to Haru and Ann.
Oliver Williams
>Concept Hifumi Holy shit how many times does this need to be said? >It was then we first sketched a character similar to what would become Hifumi. -- we ended up discussing the possibility of using that original sketch and decided to use it for a completely different character. It wasn't Hifumi it was fucking design. The Hifumi we got was only created after they decided to reuse the design for a confidant.
Aaron Fisher
>tfw no shogi gf
Elijah Hughes
>we sketched a character similar to what would become Hifumi Yes they did, Hifumi was conceptualized as that character before she was scrapped.
