Atlus U.S.A. has released two new videos for Persona 5, focusing on one of the game’s main characters, Ann Takamaki. The first video serves as an introduction to the character, while the second one is an interview with her English voice actress, Erika Harlacher. You can find the videos and more information about Ann below, taken from the official press release. Persona 5 will release on February 14 in the Americas and Europe, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Interestingly, the EU version of these video show a provisional PEGI 12 rating for the game, but we can probably expect to see that changed to a PEGI 16 rating when it’s finalized (like Persona 4 Golden).
Being the center of school gossip is a quick way to make anyone feel like an outcast, and Persona 5’s Ann Takamaki gets the full brunt of that. Ann is a beautiful girl plagued by unjust rumors from her peers on a daily basis. But despite the Scarlett Letter treatment, Ann cares deeply about her friends…which is why she’s so eager to pick up the mask and join the Phantom Thieves. Well, that and also to spite the rumors about her and the “excessively friendly” gym teacher at Shujin Academy. And while the Phantom Thieves won’t be done with just one lecherous gym teacher, Ann winds up being the closest thing to the group’s moral compass. Plus, she’s just a total badass that you’d want watching your back in a fight.
