Atlus is beginning to tease little bits and pieces of Persona 5: The Royal as we edge closer and closer to its Japanese release later this year. The company's official Twitter account has pushed out a cheeky 20 second clip showing how the protagonist first meets new character Kasumi Yoshizawa.
After grabbing the kid's balloon, Kasumi says "Don’t let go of things that are important to you, okay?" (thanks Siliconera for the YouTube upload and translation).
Kasumi is one of the main highlights of The Royal. She supposedly joins the Phantom Thieves during the game's new semester, which takes place after the main story of Persona 5, at the start of the next calendar year. In combat she uses a sword and a repeater, and she clearly loves to dance.
So... Is Kasumi the new best girl? Get that social link rank up in the comments section below.

Goddamit Atlus, I thought it was gonna be Female MC
Makoto will always be best girl.
Always be Takemi for me
Makoto was ace because Cherami Leigh did her voice and she's also the voice of female V in Cyberpunk 2077. Word up son.
Makoto is clearly best girl.
Still need to get to July in Persona 5 & I’ve put 55hrs into P4G aswell. I love these games but it is quite hard to finish them. Nos pu drow
Nahhh Makoto is the best girl period
Can't wait to let the new girl down in the most soul distorying way.
I felt bad for Haru though.
Call me superficial, but being a redhead puts her close to best girl territory for me. Looking forward to how her character is in the game.
Makoto was great until I needed max charm to max her link, which proved to be not worth it on a replay.
The new portraits are really nice
Still Makoto for me
@Royalblues Ikr you just read my mind ;D I'm still going for Makoto even tho the new gal is joining the crew.
@DerMeister Cough Cough Rias
P5R confuses me. How do you add a whole extra semester AFTER the game's narrative climax without destroying the pacing?
Imagine if your favorite 300 page book had a 100 page epilogue added to it. That would drag like crazy wouldn't it? Are they shifting the game's climax to spring instead?
So confused.
