Persona 4 The Golden : Bike Pursuit, New Opening Animation Sequence, Sumeo Omikami

Famitsu Source

Translated Leak from yesterday

So Famitsu basically confirmed that the “Bike Pursuit” element will appear during battles, where your reserve members will coming riding to your help on their bikes. Too bad they didn’t show Chie’s bike. ~~And is it just me or does Souji’s head look dismembered?~~

Also new screenshots of the “pop-style” opening sequence. I like the colours used.

And we get to see new and improved (??) evolved Persona of Yukiko, named Sumeo Omikami. Yes, it indeed just looks like a golden Amaterasu.

Other than that, Famitsu states that there’ll be more details in the Feb 9th issue.

Additional Information/Corrections:

- Yousuke will be the one who suggests you get a license [and then you’ll get one.]

- You’ll be able to go to the beach and neighbouring towns, which lead to new events. [I’m assuming the new beach event is also triggered by this.]

- You’ll only be able to use Bike Pursuit, after you get your license.

Ace’s second dream of Izana. I wanna delete the photos off my phone, so here:

Izana: Hey. We meet again.
Ace: Did you manage to meet your younger brother today?
Izana: Yeah.
Ace: That’s a rather gloomy look on your face. Did you two have a fight or something?
Izana: You could tell, huh.
Ace: You brothers don’t get along well?
Izana: Siblings have always been annoying towards one another.
Izana: There are times where you just want to really punch them in the gut.
Ace: Somehow, isn’t what you’re saying now totally different from last time?
Izana: Nah, didn’t I tell you? Siblings can have rather uncool relationships with one another.
Ace: I see. It’s definitely uncool to have sibling fights when you’re at this age. (AND HE SAYS THIS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE ACE WHY SO BRUTAL)
Izana: …….I’m just a lowly soldier in the military. My younger brother is an elite student candidate. We have different ways of thinking.
Ace: Are you jealous of your younger brother?
Izana: Nah, no matter how you see it, I’m the pathetic one.
Izana: I want to tell my younger brother, “Get more military gains. (promotions?)”
Izana: “I thought that I’d want to make you proud but…”
Izana: “Your big bro is a prideful person himself.”
Ace: …….
Ace: …….We’re going to sortie very soon.
Izana: ?
Ace: If we ask for your help, would you lend a hand?
Izana: You’re a student candidate, aren’t you?
Izana: The student candidates support the military and its top ranks.
Izana: Such talk (orders) will not come to someone of my rank.
Ace: But if it does come to you, will you fight?
Izana: Do you intend to bless me with a chance?
Ace: I don’t exactly mean it that way.
Ace: Assuming it’s just us, it looks like the first strategy is to have the people we know and the Classes.
Izana: …..Whether such a chance will come to me or not…
Izana: I’ll be only fighting for the sake of Suzaku’s future and my younger brother’s.
Izana: I will wager everything on it.
Ace: I see.
Ace: …Make sure you mend your ties with your younger brother soon.
Ace: It’s this kind of period, after all. You don’t know when your last moment will be.
Izana: Even if I know, we can’t just mend our ties like that. We have our stubbornness.
Izana: That’s how brothers are.

And then he walks away, leading Ace to wake up from his dream and then this scene. Gawd Kunagiri Kyoudai are so stubborn b-but I hope they did make up before Izana dies T_T;;

So uh, from what I could understand from this conversation, it does seem Izana is a little jealous that he’s a lowly soldier whereas Machina is an elite student candidate, despite him not saying it? The talk on pride confused me a bit, but I guess even though Izana wants to make Machina proud of him, he has his own ambitions…?

As for the strategy thing Ace mentioned, at first I was ??? but it makes sense for someone to go out to battle with people they know and whom they can rely on, and since the student candidates are “elites”, I guess that’s why they’d bring out all the Classes. Not too sure if Izana going out to battle is really due to knowing a Class Zero student and/or “being given a chance” or not, but I could see that baldy Suzaku congress guy brainwashing Machina with that excuse, which is why Machina doesn’t trust Class Zero…
