‘Best Girl’ or so I’m unreliably informed
The beat goes on for Atlus and their marketing machine, pumping out character trailers for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS sequel Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth. This new clip introduces Persona 5’s tech-whiz Futaba Sakura.
One of the latter-day additions to The Phantom Thieves, Futaba is a young girl whose quiet and shy exterior hide an incredible I.Q. and a genuinely affecting backstory. A master of computer hacking and awkward conversation, Futaba has won the hearts of a huge number of Persona fans, even though she isn’t Makoto, or that badass reporter who hangs out at the bar, or the well-shifty doctor.
I do get a real kick out of Futaba’s Persona Q2 design, I’m really digging the fanged smile. Futaba joins fellow Persona superstars Junpei, Naoto, Morgana and Shinjiro in Atlus’ ever-expanding list of character trailers. Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth launches on Nintendo 3DS in Japan November 29.
