The time for Persona 5’s launch draws ever closer, and we continue to get more character trailers. This time, the trailer is about Ryuji Sakamato. Atlus has also shared some information regarding the reveal of the third party member:
Shujin Academy is home to many high school delinquents, but the most notorious misfit would have to be Persona 5’s Ryuji Sakamoto. Ryuji was a promising track star who tragically suffered a career ending injury due to “overtraining” by the sadistic coach Kamoshida. With no future in the sport he loves and experiencing first-hand the evil of “shitty adults,” Ryuji becomes a social pariah who rebels against a society he perceives as corrupt.Even though he’s the definition of a troublemaker, he has a kind heart and always puts the Phantom Thieves before himself. In short, Ryuji is a true friend that can always be counted on to have your back in a jam. Plus, having a tough guy with a skull mask in your crew is just awesome.
And based on how he looked down Ann’s shirt, he’s also a bit of a pervert maybe. You can not only check out the character trailer below, but you can also catch the interview video of Max Mittelman talking about playing as Ryuji Sakamoto. Persona 5 is still set to release on February 14, 2017 in America and Europe on the PlayStation 3 and 4.
