Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
There is no doubt Persona 5 will be released on North American shores. Decent sales from Nino Kuni and Tales of Xilia (Namco-Bandai) have already proven to be a success, Sega will follow suit.
I'm pretty sure that was just the effect of the best non-party member S-link in P3 was also the most depressing.

god, tell me about it. "senpai pls punch me in the face for ever doubting u *cries*"
and the game practically forces you to be worshipped by your teammates.
in p3 you had to fucking WORK to get mitsuru to even walk home with you.
+1
It would be neat if Atlus tried to expand Persona like they did with mainline SMT in the mid 90s. Dunno about you guys, but to me, the essence of the series is a group of people fighting some demonic threat while socializing and carrying on their day-to-day activities. Once those elements are there, the setting can basically be anything; you could have Persona spin-offs in New York City, in Renaissance Europe, on a space colony... The possibilities are endless.

On one hand, I'd like to think that too. But the more cynical part of me can't help but think a ton of people enjoyed the fact that the everyone revolved around the MC.

This is exactly why I prefer P4 over P3. They're kids. They're going to have silly, mostly non-life threatening problems.
Its the series tradition
People keep mentioning EP, but that doesn't have college student either.
The only installment that have college age chara is the fighting game.
Ironically people freak the fuck out back then with the possibility of P4-2, which actually have the best chance to have that setting.

Reading through this thread, and the Persona Q thread, and unggh. Some of the replies were just horrendous. Lets just enjoy these great persona games guys and leave out the fanbase vs fanbase bullshit. Hopefully we get more info about this before tgs
While they technically weren't in college, the EP cast was mostly in their twenties. I think that's the age group persona 5 gang should be in as well but I'd rather it not center around school again

If you put it like that, real life high school is similar as well. Not many people jump around various clubs and have multiple social circles like the protagonists in Persona do

yeah i hope they can port this to the ps4. i'll probably buy whatever console it's on but at this point i'd rather get a ps4 than a ps3
also considering the theme color is red, i guess that character in p4a2 is the main character

"Hey bro, bro...bro....pheromones bro. They'll get us all the chicks and maybe I won't be socially awkward after all!"

Junpei is actually the best character.
Things I'd like to see:
I'd like the game to be a bit darker, akin to P3.
Deeper social link system (enemies maybe?).
Relationships with either gender.
Perhaps a talking protagonist. I don't mind mute but having a voice would be nice.
Maybe some protag customization (clothing, hair)
A similar cellshaded art style to Catherine would be neat.
And that's all I can think of atm.

At this point, I'll stay cautiously optimistic. I'll consider it a win if there are actual consequences if I try to play all the girls at the same time again. And like a real consequence, not just the
valentine's day

Sorry if already answered/asked 1000 times, but :
If the game is out in one year, then it must have been in dev since at least one year... right ?
I mean, hen can we expect an ingame trailer ? I'm so effin' HYPED for this, P4 and P4G are some of the best games i ever played.

It's been in development since 2010. Well, pre-development, anyways. It's been in actual development since 2011.
It all depends on when they want to show more of it.
I imagine we'll get a trailer in a few months, probably at a bigger event. We'll get more details in Dengeki and Famitsu as the time goes on. I expect at least a little art style stuff in Dengeki this month.
At least.

I don't get it... why no gameplay then ? Unveiling at a special (japanese) event ?
If it's the cover story, I expect we'll get more than just art.
Because they didn't want to overshadow the other announcements? Because they have future, more involved media plans for Persona 5 announcements? Because it was the final piece of their plan to troll those watching the stream, grasping at the hope that they would see Persona 5?
I dunno.
Magazine, probably.

Winter 2014 is a long time from now...probably want to build more hype before they show anything. Maybe the game has been in limbo longer than we thought.
Who knows...I just hope Sega doesn't pull their usual shenanigans
Aside from protag customization (I'd like just a default look instead of a user-made one):
- Bigger dungeons, not a fan of tight corridors and randomly generated levels.
- Quests that aren't fetch quests, have weight, a few Super Bosses, background info (a la SMT4), and can occasionally offer extra scenes
I'm actually expecting like 4-pages of developer's comments and such.

True. You are a complete man-whore in P4, too. On the Christmas sex-date, I went with Rise, because I rationalized that I could holla at any one of these chicks like in a week, but idol pussy? That don't come around every day.
Trust me, P4 is a lot more enjoyable if you pretend that the MC actually hates all these dweeby kids worshiping him.
I remember how I thought I would like so many characters in P3, but as their social links continued, you realized that you hated them. Yukari was a HORRIBLE whiny snob. That's when I became Team Misturu-Senpai 4-life.
In 3, by social link lvl 5 I'd be like "Look. you need to call the mo' fuckin' po'lice. I'm gonna turn around, walk away, and pretend we never had this conversation." Like, I don't want to be involved in your family problems, my dude. I just want to be soccer buddies.

Didn't read through this thread, but am I the only one who doesn't want to see this take place in a highschool setting with a bunch of teens leading the charge like the last two games?
One of the things that pulled me into Persona 2 was the setting and characters. Typical, non-sexualized female lead; an adult (20-something); took place in an office setting. It was so different from anything I had ever played that I put up with the sluggish battle system all the way to the end.
I want to see something different. Not just for the sake of being different mind you, but because I genuinely think the Persona series can cover a lot of ground that hasn't been covered before in a JRPG setting brilliantly. It taking place at a police department with a new recruit starting on his/her training day could be awesome, for instance.

They trolled the entire fan base by annoucing another P3/P4 collaboration but this time in chibi art style and a dancing rhythm game before having everyone hang for 40min until finally getting a taste of what P5 was. Last night was to get everyone's hype into overdrive by making them go from utter disappointment to megaton levels of exitement. They didn't need to show gameplay.
Welp, thread got horrible fast.
Magazine reveal maybe?

Persona 3's cast were kids as well, but they were very mature about the situation through and through (well... except Junpei). Everyone first started thinking it was fun and even Akihiko thought of it like practicing for boxing. Later on they change and it starts getting taken serious, I liked that.
I didn't notice the change in Persona 4. All that happened to them is that everytime
someone closer to them gets taken
No resolve, just that (Insert name) is taken and let's get them back and keep on chugging
I liked the P4 cast better then 3's, but P3's cast was so determined and mature that they were great in there own way.
Well if there's anything we know about P5 is that there will be classrooms somewhere. Doesn't mean the entire cast will be high schoolers (could be a mix of teens/YA like P2), but its doesn't look like they'll completely change the setting.
To the game's favor, she is really the most attractive choice.
Hell, she's the most attractive woman across both games!
Come at me, Rise-fans.

Who is going to come at you? Mitsuru is a perfect goddess who treats MC with some goddamn respect.
They thats because the situation was so serious that aside from their playful attitudes, there wasn't any funtime. There were kidnappings and murders happening. shit got real real fast.
Their fun times were had trying to relax between each happening.

Catherine's models as well. They looked very good and I can see a Persona game looking like it. I'm not sure if that's asking for too much though.
Nah, I love me some Rise but if push comes to shove, I'm sleeping with Mitsuru waaaaaaay before I'm sleeping with Rise.

I'm fine with the whole school motif they've got going on, I would just prefer if at least one of the Persona games didn't center around it from the student perspective. Hell, even reversing the roles a bit and making the MC a new teacher from out of town having to adjust to a new school and classroom could be pretty cool if done right. As long as there aren't any weird "dating the student" social links. But dating the students' moms? That could be pretty amazing.
I much preferred P4's way of handling main characters. In P3 it felt like the plot's general outline was based too much on the emotional baggage that the main cast brought to the table, all of them who also just happened to be connected to one another in some way. This was why Junpei was my favorite character in that game cause most of his woes are because he placed himself in that situation willingly, which can be said for a lot of P4's main cast as well. They're kids who realize they have talents no one else has and they think they can take on the issue without any hitches, and it's because of that they don't realize the situation is bigger than they could ever expect it to be. There's nothing in their backstories that shaped the general plot of the games.
With that said I definitely welcome more mature overtones such as those that were in P3, I just hope it remains grounded enough that the characters are able to relate to.

I for one would like to see them continue with quirky characters and cheesy lines. If you want darkness and sadness go play an SMT game. Let's not forget that the main characters are KIDS in HIGH SCHOOL, and kids in high school are generally immature and they say and do stupid things.
mmmm, nah. She is pleases my color pallet , but that is about it. Same thing with C.Viper, except for actually like C.Vipers deal.
