Or.....and maybe I am crazy here, they are just using the word winter to mean the cold months near the end of the year so they could release it whenever they damn well please on or after October.
I can't help but laugh at the people posting that winter runs precisely from 12/21/2014 to 3/19/2015 and saying the game must be releasing in that window. I understand when the astronomical winter is but let's be real. People consider november and the beginning of december to be winter and march and even some of february for some people is already spring.
I know. I feel sad. I've only ever played Persona on a handheld in bed at night. I don't know if I can do it on a couch in front of a TV....
Holy crap, as I type it out I realize this is a lame problem for me to have. But it's still causing me much distress.
You kidding me? If P5 really is a grimdark story then an anime adaptation for fan service would be glorious.

I like you.
PS3 lives...
All Persona have come out in the west. At the very least they will do a limited physical edition release.

Vita 
Hmm, I didn't even think of that. It actually sounds pretty good, my only issue would be that there would be way too many characters like Kanji but without all of the background things that actually make Kanji awesome.
Edit: Oh hello double post, the thread must be slowing down.

I'm kidding because I know Atlus isn't about to turn down that otaku money (rhythm game? well, whatever).
But I would like a lean in a more serious direction...perhaps a somewhat serious anime?
Exactly.

Atlus redeemed!
Red color base makes me think that the new guy with red hair in P4U is the new MC

As logical as the people claiming that the Persona countdown was for a music concert or iOS game.
From the get go? How you could be so sure? P4 got its adaptation after 4 years of it release. The nature of the game itself packed with so much content. It was proved by the anime adaptation by severely changing some social link intereaction. I know that P4 is more streamlined in nearly everything, but suspecting Atlus designed to be an anime is baseless accusation as there are no evidence for that.
But given how popular P4 is, there absolutely nothing that stop Atlus to going down that path though with P5......
Lets just hope they keep the milking with P4, and let us have our college-life Persona with p5.

I wish I didn't feel this way but I can't get anywhere near as excited for any game announced for last gen.
Give me a PS4 Persona 5

Hopefully that's the case, I don't like his design.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Didn't SMT IV come out within like a month or two of the Japanese release? Why would Atlus not do the same here, knowing how popular Persona is over here?
There is no way.

Isn't this game has been on full production since 2011? If so, then it is not outside realm of possibility to release it sooner rather than later. It's not like development of the game is still premature or anything.
P4 got anime adaptation not too long ago. If anything, they're embracing anime audience.
Odds are 0% IMO. We have a better chance of getting a PS4 or Vita simultaneous release and I would say the odds of that are also near 0.

If it was Vita, I don't see why they would change their mind, P4G sold well enough for a port and by that time they already knew the Vita situation, Wii U is out of the equation, PS4 isn't even released yet and for a series like Persona, it wouldn't make any sense to even approach that idea. 3DS is a possibility but without any Persona released for it, that also doesn't make sense. A platform change no matter which one makes absolutely no sense given the circumstances. I think the most likely case is that development stalled due to Atlus' financial situation and so rumours that spread were more wild than usual, a platform change was probably on the cards, but beyond the boardroom talk I doubt any actually took place.
If you wanna believe any shit thats thrown your way, then by all means be my guest.

I'm really happy with the tone of the trailer. This is a complete long shot, but perhaps "emancipation" refers to the promise of an exciting life by way of fighting shadows. Maybe the cast of P5 will be a group of people who are tired of their lives and see summoning their Personas and fighting as emancipation from the mundane. They could get pretty meta with this and go into themes about escapism (this would be hilarious, considering P4's fanbase), entertainment/mass media, etc etc. I dunno, just a shot in the dark.

I think not releasing on both PS3/PS4, or just PS4, is a mistake. I guess I can look forward to playing the enhanced version in 2015 anyways.
If you honestly do not think that there will be a P5 golden or some other spinoff a year later or less, then you have not been paying attention for the past five to ten years in the gaming world.

A highschool setting shouldn't be a issue. Highschool in Persona 4 felt pretty tame for the most part, although that might just be my perception or a cultural difference between Japan and North America. Persona 4 also took place in the "country" side. The environment and such can be much darker and lewd in Persona 5 based on where it takes place.
Highschool in North America can be some dingy, wicked shit. It would be nice as well if more of the characters in Persona 5 have more down to earth family structure, a lot of the Persona 4 cast had rich parents that owned a business. The Dojima family and the dynamics involved were incredibly captivating.

P4 actually dealt with this exact subject. It wasn't the main focus, but it was brought up multiple times.
But they did that with persona 2. Though persona 2 was also red.... Wait what if this is a stealth Persona 2 remake?
Conspiracy!!!
By winter 2014 I am assuming that they are banking on Gakai being in place on the PS4, or that it will be an easy up port at that point.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind it taking a larger focus. It works really well for the Persona series.

January, February is technically still winter =)
The fact that Xbox 360 owners got Catherine and Persona 4 Arena instead of Persona 5 makes absolutely no sense.
Oh okay. I just thought since there was P4: A and Catherine on two platforms Altus might've made a multiplatform release in the west or something.
Guess I gotta get a PS3.
I hope the setting announced ASAP, so westerner that don't want high school location can GTFO already.
Platform warz already gone (kinda, we into port begging now) now just this to be sorted out.
I know its just stating wish but its very unlikely to begin with, so its such a chore..
Nope.
