Anyone else heard of the Persona 5 O.A?
Announced today, I think. It's like Pokesona 5 Go, as in it's a companion app that sometimes lets you talk to the characters to raise their Social Links, potentially even with Joker according to the screenshots. You can read more here: http://www.siliconera.com/2018/02/16/persona-o-announced-persona-series-official-support-app/
More opportunities to talk with Makoto and Co.? Sign me up.
Through the power of built in google translate I have inferred that it appears to be a dungeon crawler of sorts for Mementos, you take a party member and a persona you can buy with persona points into the dungeon to earn more points. Over time you will strengthen your link with your chosen party member and unlock scenes. All just speculation with Google translate though so (shrug).
Oh, cool, thanks for the info!
I translated some of the official Persona OA webpage and posted it on Tumblr. You can read my full summary here: http://take-your-heart.tumblr.com/post/170958006331/more-persona-oa-info But for TL:DR people: It will be the official “persona” series integrated mobile app. It will include: The latest information on the series An exploration game (It includes using personas, not much else is known yet) Conversation events (so socials link, but these will be all new stuff exclusive to the app) Persona Points to save and use (used for leveling personas, getting web content, for gifts, and for entering events) A functional calendar with the ability to set up notifications The app will be completely free and will be supported on iPhone 5S or later Android 5.0 or later. Pre-registration is going on now, and people in Japan who pre-register get to enter a lottery for IRL prizes. Personally, I'm stoked. I'm not a big fan of rhythm games like DSN/DMN, but this is right up my alley. I'm begging for this to get an English version, my Japanese isn't nearly good enough to play the full game in Japanese. I still pre-registered and am still going to try to play it, though.
The app will be completely free and will be supported on iPhone 5S or later Android 5.0 or later. Pre-registration is going on now, and people in Japan who pre-register get to enter a lottery for IRL prizes I pre-registered already. As long as there is no lootboxes or any in-app purchases (I'm pretty sure it WILL have) then I'll grind on this. Wanna build a relationship with Makoto? Now you can For a price of 1,000 ¥ IRL of course.
