Hopes for a future fighting game
I'm sort if against Atlus milking P5, but another fighting game would actually be pretty cool. Who would you want to see come back from past games as characters on the roster? How do you think the new characters would play?
I didn't like Arena at all, but fell in love with the Golden Arena in Ultimax. So we do that but with Mementos.
It would be interesting to see the guns be used, and something tells me Yusuke would play like Hakumen from BB
Honestly hoping:
1. They don't bullshit Akechi in
2. They don't make the story that serious, preferably not canon
3. The negotiations make a way in somehow
As a Hazama main, the word Hakumen is enough for me to go into a PTSD-induced seizure. Regardless, I think Yusuke would be similar to Vergil from UMvC3 in terms of playstyle.
Ayy fellow Hazama mains represent
To be fair, I seriously doubt Akechi is dead. I expect to see more of him on p5 expansion
Plus, if they didn't bullshit Shinjiro or Door-kun into P4A then I doubt they will with Akechi.
I feel Akechi will come back because they managed to bring back Adachi from prison
One of P5's major themes is taking responsibility for your action, and I feel like the only way Akechi can atone for all the murders he committed and never be tried for is dying himself. If they bring him back, they're basically undoing a huge part of his character arc. If they do put him in, I hope it's non-story related, or it's a fake of some kind and THAT plays a major role in the story.
Tbh, I wouldn't be suprised if he gets a redemption story line, or if he plays as an anti-hero kinda what Adachi did in P4 ultimax, but it would indeed ruin his character development
I don't trust the guys at Fatlus as far as I can throw them.
@Raiho - While I understand your point, Atlus has a bad habit of doing the whole "If you didn't see it, it didn't happen" thing.

If he didn't die off screen, it means he'll be back. Either even more insane than before, or he'll actually try to repent, which will lead to his real death.
@Joker
God, I hope not
I mean, Loki is the trickster god. He could've cloaked himself and escaped Futaba's detection. Maybe he will resurface and turn himself in...I honestly don't think they killed him.
Normally I'd be against milking franchises.
But god damn Atlus milk the fuck out of this, I need my dose of Phantom Thieves.
Go and play playstation all stars because it is butter fighting game
I am like 99.9% sure a fighting game is all but guaranteed.

If Akechi comes back though I hope that doesn't happen in a fighting game spinoff. That kind of important shit ought to go in a more serious entry

That said I'm also 99.9% sure that Atlus will end up saying he's not dead no matter what; he's way too popular of a character for them to just abandon as dead lol. They're gonna milk P5 for all its worth and he is certain to be a part of that
