Persona 5 Confidants: Introducing Sojiro Sakura!

Persona 5 is a game about the internal and external conflicts of a group of troubled youth who live dual lives. They have the typically ordinary day-to-day of a Tokyo high-schooler – attending class, after school activities and part-time jobs. But they also undertake fantastical adventures by using otherworldly powers to enter the hearts of people. Their power comes from the Persona, the Jungian concept of the “self;” the game’s heroes realize that society forces people to wear masks to protect their inner vulnerabilities, and by literally ripping off their protective mask and confronting their inner selves do the heroes awaken their inner power, and use it to strive to help those in need. Ultimately, the group of Phantom Thieves seeks to change their day-to-day world to match their perception and see through the masks modern-day society wears.

Persona 5 will release on April 4. in the Americas and Europe, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Pre-orders are now available at participating retailers for either version of the game. The game is rated M by the ESRB.

"And that was the coffee trivia for tonight..."

[TVHead]

Me: How's the coffee business?
Him: just a grind

[iskoconquers]

How do you make your coffee

Black: "Don't try to sound tough sissy"
Cream: "Oh coming right up madam"
Cream and Sugar: What are you, Nanako?

"Daddy I want it black"

Surprise me: *throws coffee at face..

[swordfish]

"I know that this is sudden, but here's some trivia, seeing as how you've emptied your cup of coffee."

[lordguy]

dude is that the VA of that narrator guy from Catherine? Is funny because this guy actually gives out coffee trivia

[Smiles]

"Blacker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than hell itself... That is coffee."

[Le_Dom]

"I know this is sudden, but here's a bit of trivia, as you seem to have finished your cup"

[NekkoBlue]

Glad the Dojima of this game has a smooth-sounding voice. :P

[haniwadog]

You feel people looking at you. Is this an effect of the coffee?

[KZN]

Social Link Go?
"Hey, how do you take your coffee?"

[heymikkao]

*Spoiler*
As I expected, the mean dude who takes you in turns out to be a softie with a touching backstory. Sojiro's honestly such an honorable man for taking in two kids in need.

[MrThisPhoenix]

0:21 Here's what I hear: "I was asked to do it, and I just... happened to agree to it... It's not like I care. Ba-ba-baka."

[Shiroisaki]

I know this is sudden, but here's some of coffee trivia for tonight:

There are two types of oils in coffee, good oils and bad oils. The good oils are good for your body and health, the bad oils are what give you ulcers and stomach problems. To avoid the bad oils in coffee, simply use paper filters to minimize the effects. It's a very useful method to enjoy the coffee and drink healthily!

And that concludes the coffee trivia for tonight.

[Drusain]

Anyone else think Sojiro looks like Dr. Venture from the Venture Bros? Change that hair color to red and make him bald on the top and the similarity is uncanny

[emptilion]

Not the voice I was expecting from him. But I like it.

[gfhhfgZ]

I can only hear Lu Bu talking to me.

Cool.

[citizenchris]

Mah man Jamieson Price. Called it, knew it was gonna be him as his voice compliments the Japanese version quite expertly.

[animegirlamy]

This reminds me of the bar where Vincent and his friends hang out in Catherine. I'm guessing the Persona 5 protagonist and his friends will meet and hang out in this coffee shop often, too. Hopefully by learning to make coffee, he means you can learn how to craft an item that give back SP points (since in some other JRPG's coffee gives you SP points). It was a pain tracking down items that gave you SP back in Persona 4. Also, anyone recognize Sojiro's English VA? Sounds like a regular at funimation, but can't think of which one.

[CorvaleRane]

Hello Mr.Nierman, We've been expecting you

[niikojo]

Oh my God it's the same voice actor as the guy from Catherine! When you drink booze that voice comes up and gives you a trivia!
