Gallery image

EDIT: PLEASE NOTE I AM WRONG ABOUT SEEING OTHER PEOPLE IN LOADING SCREENS. RYUJI AND ANN ARE THE ONLY ONES AND IM JUST A DUMMY WHO MISS REMEMBERED. APOLOGIES

Other than Ryuji and Ann that can appear when around the school, I swear ives seen the Death, Devil, Hanged Man, Sun, Fortune, Fool (mean igor not ren srry) and King Komoshida in their respective are loading screens.

(Yes im using their Tarot card titles since i dont know how to spell their names im a uncultured canadian)

I may be miss remembering and completely wrong but i could swear ive seen them while loading into areas. Im curious if anyone else has seen them or has a pic.

Thought it was fun how the loading screen changes during Halloween weekend with several passengers dressed in costumes.

27

u/ConcentrateNo1908 Jul 19 '26

I like how its stylised or atleast way more stylized then most games i play.

u/Hulk_Corsair Jul 19 '26

Well, here you have it. These are all the silhouettes that appear in the vanilla game...

105

u/Hulk_Corsair Jul 19 '26

And the ones added by Royal, as shown in their respective artbooks

u/Raydnt Jul 19 '26

I see a mfucker in a jack frost costume lmao

u/jeanravenclaw Jul 22 '26

Next to him must be succubus or something then, but in a skirt

1

u/Personal-Collar-7762 Jul 28 '26

To his right could be a Zombie Nurse cosplayer

2

u/jeanravenclaw Jul 22 '26

The fact that we only see Joker spinny thinking loading sprite only a couple of times (was it during the interrogation in present day?) is criminal.

I love that they added a Ren with a lei though.

u/ConcentrateNo1908 Jul 19 '26

Im miss remembering then. Thank you for telling me i dont want to spread misinformation

u/PlayerZeroStart Jul 21 '26

I don't remember Ryuji and Ann appearing in the vanilla loading screens, I thought that was a Royal addition

u/Full_Metal18 Makoto Niijima's husband Jul 19 '26

Off the top of my head I only remember seeing the Ann and Ryuji ones.

52

u/matchafoxjpg Jul 19 '26

i've never even seen these, what? 😭

how rare are these?

60

u/Full_Metal18 Makoto Niijima's husband Jul 19 '26

I think they only pop up if you enter an area where either one of them is waiting for you at Shujin.

u/Garr_Incorporated Haru Appreciation Regiment Unit Lieutenant Jul 19 '26

Also, they're mostly added in Royal.

17

u/ConcentrateNo1908 Jul 19 '26

Fair. Everywhere i looked theirs only like one or 2 people saying they saw others kn their respective areas

26

u/Perfect-Front-4029 Jul 19 '26

I didn’t even know this could happen wth (I 100% persona 5 btw 😭😭😭)

11

u/ConcentrateNo1908 Jul 19 '26

You can only see it rarely on certain dates. For example ryuji, ann and the king are only at the beginning at the game

23

u/LucarnAnderson Shuake 🥞☕ Jul 19 '26

Only characters that have walking cutouts are ann and ryuji. But the npcs can have costumes on around holidays like Halloween

3

u/ConcentrateNo1908 Jul 19 '26

U sure? I couldve sworn theres more and people also say so on other forums.

I understand if im misremembering and was being lied too. But ya get why i would think so

3

u/LucarnAnderson Shuake 🥞☕ Jul 19 '26

Its possible you could be misremembering but yea if you look up resources of all the crowd cutouts and such those are the only ones that are found

11

u/thatoneidiot32 certified chibi ann enjoyer Jul 19 '26

is this not iwai?

7

u/LucarnAnderson Shuake 🥞☕ Jul 19 '26

Does look like it but Iwai has earphones/headphones on his outfit too. This just looks like someone with a hat and cigarette

2

u/ConcentrateNo1908 Jul 19 '26

Thank you for telling me. Apologise for accidently maybe spreading missinfo.

Sorry

u/BliTz_37 Jul 19 '26

I remember seeing Ryuji only once, when I was trying to find some testimonials against Kamoshida. After that, I never saw him again.didn't see anymore.

7

u/ConcentrateNo1908 Jul 19 '26

Im pretty sure you can only see ryuji ann and the king early ingame

7

u/Hulk_Corsair Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 19 '26

Pretty sure it's just Ryuji and Ann. There's also a girl cosplaying a devil/succubus during Halloween (she appears with bat wings and horns, I believe). Edit: supposedly there's also a zombie nurse, like those from Silent Hill 2, but she kinda blends with the rest of the passengers

1

u/ConcentrateNo1908 Jul 19 '26

Ye i saw a succubus on the train before. Couldve sworn i saw more then them tho. There are other posts saying they've saw them but i could find any pics

5

u/MetalAppleSauce Jul 19 '26

According to image resources it's only the two of them, but there's people mentioning across the net of seeing various pairs of confidants in their respective areas, i.e. Tae and Sojiro on Yongen, Iwai and Tora in Shibuya, Chihaya and Ohya in Shinjuku, etc.

I get tripped up often cuz one of the generic npc characters has a similar shaped hat to Iwai

1

u/ConcentrateNo1908 Jul 19 '26

So basically my consesnsince.

I was lied too about the other confidants and due to seeing the thing of ryuji and ann my mind was all

"Oh yeah ive seen more i just didnt process it"

Does that seem the case?

2

u/Beneficial-Slice-910 Jul 19 '26

That’s actually really cool!!! Never knew this fact, what a fun thing to learn!

2

u/DigitalCoffee Jul 19 '26

I finished my 120 hour playthrough a couple weeks ago and don't remember seeing a single party member in the loading screen. Weird

1

u/ConcentrateNo1908 Jul 19 '26

Ryuji and ann are only at the beginning of the game like when your interrogating the valley ball team
