If you’re anything like me, you could easily point out your two favorite Atlus IPs:ÂPersonaandÂCatherine. WhileÂCatherine: Full BodyÂmay be in the news for other reasons, fans of the series have been busy making cool crossover art of the game – including a version that mashes up the puzzle game’s aesthetic withÂPersona 5.In celebrating the Japanese release ofCatherine: Full Body, a well-regarded freelance illustrator on Twitter – MZ-Yun – posted a quick congratulations to the Atlus development team.In his Tweet, you can see a pretty masterful mashup ofÂPersona 5Âcharacters roleplaying corresponding characters inÂCatherine: Full Body:

Playing the various female leads, we have blonde Catherine played by Ann Takamaki, Katherine McBride being portrayed as the more-uptight Makoto Niijima, and the newest romantic option (Rin) being played by Haru Okumura. Obviously, we have the game’s main character Vincent being played by Joker,ÂPersona 5’s protagonist. And then to fill in the ancillary roles we have Futaba Sakura taking Erica’s spot, and Morgana, Ryuji, and Yusuke taking the spot of sheep in the background.

On one hand, this is simply a fun fan creation – it is almost scary how well the characters and personalities of both games play off each other. On the other hand–is it just me, or would you put down money for aÂPersona 5character reskin option inÂCatherine: Full Body? I’m not usually one for cosmetic DLC, but I would love to play the game again with the Phantom Thieves filling all the roles. (Update:Because the note is apparently necessary, aged appropriately toÂCatherine’s characters).

Even better, the team at Atlus could flesh out the concept more. What about Thomas Mutton, aka “Boss” – that sounds like a perfect role fill for the curmudgeon-ish Sojiro Sakura who is similarly a restauranteur that goes by the name “Boss!” I’m practically throwing money at you, Atlus! Make it happen.

While Atlus is snoozing on awesome fan projects, the dedicatedÂPersonaÂcommunity is hard at work keeping the game’s spirit aliveas we waitforÂPersona 5 R. This includesthis excellent Futaba cosplay, which re-affirms my belief that she is Best Girl.

Catherine: Full BodyÂis out now in Japan on PS4 and PlayStation Vita, but won’t be coming West until July 19, 2025. Meanwhile, we are still waiting on news of whatÂPersona 5 RÂis… hopefully,our prediction on when we will hear about more information is spot-on. Meanwhile, feel free to support Atlus by picking up a copy ofÂCatherine: Full BodyÂon Amazon(withthe Premium Edition including a sheep plus).
