Haru got as much screentime in this video as she did in the real game
YES FINALLY SOMEBODY SAID IT
@@Gamaxp x3
Not wrong, she was the last character to add, so not surprising
Any others were there just not a party member prior
Best girl nonetheless
Except in royal and Kasumi was added as the last character to recruit
Lmfao the Haru cut is amazing
Just trying my best to stay true to the source material 🙏
@@Gamaxp this joke is fucking gold😭😭
@@rubydearest what joke?
@@thebigm8052 haru has more screen time in this than in the actual game.
@@SebaLu_ I should’ve made it more clear that I was being sarcastic
If I remember correctly, they gave Futaba dyed orange hair because a dark haired suicidal shut in was a bit too depressing
A little too real
Who played persona 3 won't be afraid..
@@appth9099 yeahhhhh but this isn't persona 3, if people want depressing they'll play 3 but ig it didn't flow super well with 5's vibe
I believe it was because atlus thought it was too much of a cliché to give her black hair.
@@appth9099 who said it was for the players and not the overall themes?
That Haru disrespect is very Persona 5-like
Who'd Haru?
@@eldankdogeI would Haru, I would Haru very much
Morganabus makes more sense, what thieves leave the site of the robbery on something as unprotected and slim as a sports car?
it looks cool though, right? aren't the phantom thieves all about style? >:3
i wish he could turn into both that would also be super cool
And we got gapping cat anus as well.
It should have been a skin😔
How would all of them even fit
New Mandela effect - Anyone remember a character called “Haru”? She was introduced near the Okumura arc and was playable party member with physic abilities?! 🤯🤯🤯
Who?
As a Haru fan you’re diabolical
I'm in love with Yusuke's early design
I knooooooooooow 🥺
big fan of the hair, but everything else that was cut was nothing special
real😭
I want fanarts of his early design NOW
I would want him to have the long hair but kept it blue
Also Joker was supposed to live with Sae and Makoto instead of Sojiro
Joker was gonna be clapping cheeks
@@TheRealTact HE ALREADY DOES
Joker to Sae: "And then I fxcked your sister."
lucky
And akechi was supposed to be sae's son and makoto's brother.
I'll never forgive them for not adding my girl hifumi to the actual crew and cutting a lot of her content
she was never going to be a part of the crew thoughhhhh
@@Gamaxp from what i recall she actually was, but they actually scrapped it and used the concept with makoto instead
@@Voxite_ That actually make sense. I always the "Queen" didn't really fit Makoto but it would've been perfect for Hifumi
@@Voxite_ Hifumi’s design was meant to be a phantom thief. They recycled it and made a confidant that became Hifumi
@@ped9815 Exactly kind of annoying how often people oversimplify it to the character instead of the design because that leads to misunderstandings like their's
ann’s original pt outfit looks so much better 😭
Fr
If she looked like that she would maybe be in my party instead of being fucking level 20😭
Yeah, Because She's Kind Of A Rebellious Girl, In The Metaverse Though, She's A Generic Playboy Model
True
Imma be honest, Mona's current design is better. This one looks kinda creepy to me, and far more devious. The current one looks far more cute honestly, and makes him a TON more likeable in my eyes.
It's the head for me. Keeps the unhinged look but since the concept had a smaller head it also looks less goofy
the car shouldve been the sports car tho
Bro imagine what the internet would do to morgana if he has a feminine body😭
@@Doriya678deer god I already imagine the horrid things that is THE PLACE WE DO NOT SPEAK OFF
Tbf, in Persona 3 and 4 their clothes never changed. Atlus probably thought the phantom thief outfits not only looked cooler than Shujin's uniform but also makes a ton more sense with the story
The early concepts are very much in line with the past persona games. However I understand why they chose to go the direction they did. As they settled on the gameplay style and general look of the game as a whole it likely lead to the character designs being reworked to fit in with the world as it existed at that point in development. For instance, looking at the concept art the characters likely would have had lighter hair with sharper silhouettes whether it be through their school uniforms or phantom thief attire. This looks nice at first glance and I think it could work in p4 or p3 as it follows those games styles closely. However in p5 the world and style they went for is much more pop art. Thus having the characters have looser shapes and bolder colored hair and cloths helps sell the style of the game as a whole.
Fun fact: the reason Kasumi was drawn with jokers mask is because she was supposed to be playable as a FeMC but Atlus changed their minds about it because of P3P
For anyone who want to know Haru design.. she didn't change much expect instead of wearing the pink puff sweater (?) she wear the normal Shujin black jacket uniform
Yoshizawa's early design which had a heart hole on the shirt is hella cute
im so pissed that ann was done that dirty. she could've had an awesome slick outfit but now she looks like she has a trashy valentines day costume
That, and Ann and Makoto both repeated talk about how much they dislike their outfits. Why give the characters outfits they dislike?! I understand the outfit symbolizes their will of rebellion but wouldn't they get outfits they actually like?
@Kamatari
Director said he had a fetish for women looking embarrassed
@@Megamibunny Wow, that's creepy!
not only does she dislike her outfit, it's also a pretty sexualized one which is ironic bc the her awakening her persona is her rebelling against kamoshida's and his sexual harassment
@@aaaaaaaafjjdjs Yeah! They definitely sexualized Ann. She's a freaking minor!
I'm STUNNED by this concept art and amazing video!!
Thank YOU sir.
@@Gamaxp thank you you for amazong video
Poor fluffy waifu 😢
Morgana's old design gives me the Lopunny effect and it creeps me out.
AAAAAAH
@@Malechieh There's no laws against the shadows Joker.
Hifumi was supposed to be a phantom thief, but was cut due to the game already being so long
Didnt they just replace her with Midkoto?
@@vault29a *Makoto
@@zukosvfxnah he spelled it right
She was not. A completely different character separate from Makoto was gonna be the tactician of the Phantom Thieves, but that character ended up being mixed with early development Makoto to make the finished Makoto, and the design of that cut character was recycled for Hifumi.
It's so sad, only hope is for a mod to come out to replace her model
I feel if they go with those designs it would feel a bit old school and serious.
The theme what we have now is really colourful even if it's dark.
@@PlasticDoor141 jeah.
For anyone wondering, the type of mask Joker wears is called a Carnival Mask, so it would've been more accurate to say Violet wore a Carnival Mask
Man this is an absolute feen of a video, well done!
Honestly, I prefer the changes... the Persona 5 I know is just to iconic I could never imagine it any other way
The designs we ended up with are just SO much better.
I agree except for Ann's outfit.
Eh I still want that one concept joker in the black suit he looked cool
@@kamatari1220 I like both of Ann's, but this one is basically Catwoman. The red one is more unique and meshes better with her Personas imo.
@@DJ-yo9oithe og fit better with her themes of rebellion and liberty, the red one is so over the top it looks like a valentine’s hooker
"Persona 5 would've been way better if atlus didn't cut these designs"
First one: feminine Morgana
Would
YUSUKE WOULDVE BEEN SO PRETTY NOOOO STARTS CRYING WAAA
hdhffhuff I THINK EVERYONE IS IN LOVE WITH THAT CONCEPT ART YUSUKE AND I DONT BLAME THEM ONE BIT.... WE WERE ROBBEDDDD
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD WHEN HE SUGGEST DRESSING AS A WOMAN IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT HAVING TOO MANY DUDE
He still is though
"yoshizawa was supposed to have brown hair"
uhh.... whos gonna tell him
;)
Oh god
A sports car would’ve been so much cooler and thief-like than a post office van. Also rough draft Yusuke is such a baddie
Akechi's early design looks cool
I love Futaba's final design but her emo one is such a vibe
Nah
Gamer girl is better than goth
THE HARU DISRESPECT I’M DONE
RIGHT HAR-
That Haru cut was just...amazing, lol. It's made me laugh out loud, which is not something I often do. I needed that. Thanks
Oh, the kasumi's mask thing, if i remember correctly, was because kasumi was originally planned to be a female ver of the protag.
haru has more screen time in this than in the actual game.
Haru gets less screentime here too 💀
YUSUKE WITH LONG HAIR?? I feel so robbed right now. Look how pretty he is 😩
NAAAAH YOU CAN’T DO THAT MY GIRL HARU 😂
you did my girl haru dirty like the game bro 😭😭😭
Wow! that Joker sure is looking cool!
It's almost SCARY how good you are!
Woahh JOKER??
PERSONAAA
morgana more curvier?
I think lopunny's gonna have a new rival in the 34th rule
I was about to say that they might've dodged a bullet there. Knowing the Internet...
Haru got more screen time than in the game
I quite like Panther's RECON outfit. Between her and Makoto, she wears the Shadow Suit really well
I love how haru got cut off 😂
Accurate Haru screentime
Who's haru?
There are so many amazing designs, I wish some of them hadn’t been cut!!
Since you cut out Haru, I’ll just throw out that her design seems to be reworked from Wakaba’s concept art (or at least share a similar hairstyle).
Dayum I would've loved concept art Morgana. Those eyes and the more slender build really add to the vague nature of his origins, and I actually feel that design looked more androgynous than femine, in a good way. Just would've loved the slightly menacing cat guide vibe, looks like it could've had a Mew type character rather than the more mascot esque end result. Morgana kinda feels like teddy but less interesting, that other design could've spiced it up.
Would love to see mods of these characters remade as their concept art
Femboy morgana is top tier cursed
Bro you did not have to do Haru dirty like that
Mommy makoto is fine the way she is.
Haru's initial design is so cute. Although she had way less of both floof and forehead
i love yusuke but i would go feral if we got that early design
I came to the comments for the Haru cut. I was not disappointed
i really wish anns outfit wasnt so seductive. its a complete 180 after her whole plot line
If Morgana wasn’t male, but female, pretty sure he’d lust for Yusuke. Also, he’d be a chatte. Which me calling him a Shat would be even more on point.
For Ann's current outfit design, I wonder why they didn't make her outfit having mixture of black and red rather than plain red, have some frills or lace in the outfit and rather than those atrocious pink dish washing gloves, it could've been a stylized, maybe lace, black and red gloves with rose patterns. After all, she's a model and also her concept is based around "femme fatale"/"rose with thorns", so I would assume that her outfit should've been feminine+sexy(not the revealing kind of sexy)+fiesty+powerful.
A mix of black and red wouldve went haaaard but also wouldnt it be a little too similar to joker's?
Lol, Haru again didn’t have enough screen time)
Gamma you are absolutely flooding my recommended and im loving it bro hope you POP OFF
OH MY GOD ALQASEM IDFNFHFJF HAIIII DBFJFHFRH HELLO IM SO JFNFNFFJF 💖💖💖💖💖
It’s an actual tragedy that the og morgana and Ann designs were cut :/
It's kinda funny howni found more interesting the early designs than the ones we have in game
Like I always felt that yusuke deserved to have a long hair there's so much outfits with him that looked a lot better with long hair
One of the joker designs reminded me of Ryoji and man if they kept it, I would’ve been so happy! I loved him so much…
I got to know more about Haru in this video than I would've ever by playing the game
The old design of Yusuke reminds me the Akinari Kamiki (Sun Social Link) from Persona 3
I can see the resemblance!
i guess morbus makes more sense practically to hold more people, but also a sport car makes a bunch of sense in regards to how morgana even transforms, a sports car's engine purrs and looks way more cat like than a bus imo
Long-hair Yusuke was robbed from us- as a Yusuke fan I need to see more of that
We need more long hair yusuke fanart tbh 🙏
I would be gay if that yusuke existed irl
How did they make Yusuke hotter?
Morbus got me away from non-despair Reapers than I could ever count.
The had to cut Yusuke’s design long luscious brown hair he would have been to powerful 😍 and you know what it’s justified
And now we have the sports car design and Ann's concept design in P5X
Goth Futaba would be a sight to behold
🥺
The amount of Chad energy coming from the MC first design with the long hair nice
what about haru :(
luckily for you i’ve owned the art book this is from for a few years now! some sketches include; her with a ponytail (or short braid, it’s sorta unclear bc it’s a sketch) and a flowery headband with the front most portion of her hair down, her with an open cardigan and a tie, and her in a uniform that more closely resembles joker than the base female ones, but the most drastically different is her with short straight hair short and bangs, paired with a high collar empire waist blouse(sorta mori influence?) unfortunately none of her sketches are colored. wish i could show the image because it’s pretty cool. (bonus: akechi was supposed to have a middle part and wear the school uniform)
You possess knowledge too great for this world to fully comprehend.
Why did I never realize Futaba’s hair was dyed
I guess I thought since people like Makoto and Sae can have red eyes, it wasn’t crazy for her to be ginger as a Japanese 💀
Now, the real question is... is Yusuke's hair colour dyed or not? 😳
There also seemed to be a FEMC concept for P5 with basicly a female punk Sho Minazuki
Would have loved yosuke's earlier design. Makes him feel more realistic cause hes always broke, and acts like a 1700's painter
Thats true! I honestly forget yusuke is supposed to be broke other than like those few times it comes up as a joke because his design does not reflect that in the slightest 😭
That Haru bit should not be this funny, and yet it is lol
We were robbed out of black haired futaba and I’m not even a big futaba Stan
Wont lie the early concept of Joker with the long Red Scarf would have been pretty cool.
Lookin cool jojern
Honestly, and this might just be because I’m too used to them by now but, the current designs for these characters are perfect and are much better than the early designs
Makoto was and will allways be perfect. ❤️
Mid just like you
Gotta say i like ann concept art the most, also definitely understand why they changed futaba and kasumi mask, get we're her senpai but same mash iss bit much
Persona 5 got a lot of L's just because of redesigns
Thank god we got what we have now. Otherwise my tattoo wouldnt have happened
Tattoo? 😳
goth futaba would have been amazing
Oh yooo
That hair on the last Joker early design is pretty gnarly
His current hair is fluffy and great ofc
BUT COMBED BACK AND TO THE SIDE???
Whoa didnt know there were female joker design. Her hairstyle is the goth doctor color scheme blended with chie hair😮
WE ALMOST HAD YUSUKE WITH LONG HAIR?!?! NO HE LOOKED SO GOOD IN THAT CONCEPT ART!!! NOW I WANT THAT!!!
I like the release designs. Sure, Yusuke looking like the P2 protag would definitely have been cool (heck, iirc there were a bunch of theories about exactly that for a while) but it was probably for that exact reason they changed it. Yusuke’s his own character. The current character designs couples with the glitzy atmosphere of the game really make the characters pop in a unique way. If they kept the darker aesthetic, then it would just be (atmospherically at least) more similar to P3. Each persona game has been stylistically diverse for each other, and that’s why each game is looked back on so fondly. Every game is very much its own experience, and I rather like that.
Bro, this video gave as much time to Haru as Persona 5 did
I’m glade the went with the design that morgana has now it’s cuter and gives off a mascot vibe
I COULDVE BEEN TURBOOOO!!!???!
my brother snuck the "morbius" inside the video
It's morbin' time ;3
I love Futaba's final design, the Japanese-street-styled gamer nerd girl look is a perfect fit on her. But I would like to see her in some goth attire similar to her concept art. Even if it were a DLC outfit I'd probably pay for it immediately.
Only one I agree with is Ann's Phantom Thief outfit. I never really used her because I always felt her design was a little barebones, especially when compared to literally every other members and that design would've been amazing. Literally anything would be better then the one ingame.
I think i like yusuke's early design better
Edit: some of jokers early designs look cute and some look pretty badass like that slicked back version with him in the school uniform
I love yuske’s original design
