New Persona 5 Story Trailer Revealed! Digital Pre-orders on PSN live now

Here is a brand-new Persona 5 story trailer! After having his life ruined, the main protagonist of the game must start anew as the newest transfer high-school student at Tokyo’s Shujin Academy. However, he’ll soon discover that he has the ability to enter the hearts of people and force them to confront their true selves (for better or worse).

ss05

With his newly discovered powers, the protagonist and his raucous group of outcast friends form the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to help unmask the ills of society. It’s only a matter of time before their actions become noticed by undesirables, so will they be able to bring justice to everyone who deserves it in time?

That’s not all! Today also marks the start of Persona 5 digital pre-orders on PlayStation Network. All digital pre-orders will receive bonus digital content, including the “Protagonist Special Theme & Avatar Set,” which includes a dynamic theme AND 3 protagonist avatars. It also includes an in-game DLC item – the “Izanagi & Izanagi Picaro Set,” which gives players the ability to summon Izanagi from Persona 4 into the picaresque world of Persona 5! It includes 2 Izanagi designs – the original & a special Picaro variant that reflects Persona 5’s aesthetic! That Ryuji Theme & Avatar set that ATLUS launched the other week? We did initially intend for a Nov. 24 release, but due to some last-minute issues, the theme didn’t go live. But! The problem has been rectified and it’s now fully confirmed the theme will be live and free for 24 hours starting today 5rd December at 10am GMT / 11am CET in Europe!

Grab it for free before it’s too late! Persona 5 is a game about the internal and external conflicts of a group of troubled youth who live dual lives. They have the typically ordinary day-to-day of a Tokyo high-schooler – attending class, after school activities and part-time jobs. But they also undertake fantastical adventures by using otherworldly powers to enter the hearts of people. Their power comes from the Persona, the Jungian concept of the “self;” the game’s heroes realize that society forces people to wear masks to protect their inner vulnerabilities, and by literally ripping off their protective mask and confronting their inner selves do the heroes awaken their inner power, and use it to strive to help those in need. Ultimately, the group of Phantom Thieves seeks to change their day-to-day world to match their perception and see through the masks modern-day society wears.

Persona 5 will release on 4th April 2017 in the Americas and Europe, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Pre-orders are now available at participating retailers for either version of the game.

Final Thoughts

Putting the highchair together was very simple and only took a few minutes – the instructions that came with it walk you through each step of the construction and use.

The chair itself has a large number of possible adjustments ranging from the height of the chair (there are 5 possible height adjustments), the calf support and even the footrest (which alone has 3 different positions). Adjusting the footrest makes it easier for your baby to both stay in the position you want him in and also makes it more comfortable.

It can also recline with 5 different positions available depending on your particular requirements at the time.

One of the key features is the ability to rotate the seat 360 degrees with a simple press of a button. This is an extremely useful feature, and one we use a lot!

The shoulder harnesses are very easy to adjust to fit your baby and they feel very secure when clipped together. It’s also very easy to release them with a single press.

There is also an insert for the seat for newborns and very young babies that is easy to fit and remove and makes the chair more comfortable.

Having the tray attached is very useful for placing anything you need in front of both you and the baby – just make sure bowls are just out of reach of your little one otherwise things might get messy – take it from us!

The highchair is also foldable if you need to transport it around, although for most people it will probably stay in one place.

The highchair is quite frankly a must for anyone with a baby or infant that they want to sit comfortably and securely whilst feeding them. Our baby felt so secure and comfortable that he has fallen asleep in the chair on more than one occasion! Although sleeping in the chair is not recommended.

The Joie Mimzy 360 Highchair is available now priced around £140 and there are multiple designs to choose from too!
