I felt the same way really.

I didn't get this impression.
We're the best kind though.

I'm perfectly okay with another high school setting. The vibe I got from the initial teaser is exactly what I was hoping for as well. Can't wait to see the cast.
If it's even half as good as the equally absurd yet highly entertaining Ouendan/Elite Beat Agent games then we're in for a treat, lol.

So Naoto spends Christmas Eve alone with the MC and The watch reads: "Distance: < 1m"...

So you're telling me they weren't playing monopoly for a very long time?
And she says she left her sock at your house. Undressing? Hmmm, I wonder what that could imply...

Who cares
They were playing fighting games with their feet. You can't grab a stick with your socks on.
Wait that didn't sound right
The entire point of the game is that moment. Nothing else matters. 100 + hours thrown in so you can have a brief dialogue that MIGHT imply sex.

Um...cuddling?
I don't sleep with my socks on.
But really, I can see where you guys are coming from. I guess there just wasn't enough innuendo for me to get the vibe that anything serious happened.

It was intentionally left up to the players imagination as to what they were doing.

High school again...
Amen to that.
... I don't understand the people that are celebrating that it isn't college. Not even a little bit.
You telling me the protag got 1m dong or what
Probably getting caught up on "Shirlock". They say that Benedict Cumberbatch is somethin' else!
But seriously, this.
Uhh... <1 means less than 1 meter.

New details from Dengeki apparently.

Atlus, this is the final insult. After you killed any semblance of maturity present in the series with Arena--you proceed to spit on the franchies corpse with Persona 4 Golden. Now, with your final chance to restore the dark themes present in the eariler games--you blew it. High school automatically begets adolescent nonsense. College is where mature people go, if any of the staff at Atlus had actually gone to college you'd know that.
Look to Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, Atlus. Lucas went with a grim, dark, and dare I say: mature story--it paid off tenfold. It was the most mature chapter in the saga--which led to the most quality entry in the series. Dark themes = maturity = quality. Do you understand this, Atlus? Maturity is what we wanted, now that's all out the window. The High School setting again is the kiss of death for this franchise.
Sleep well, true Persona. This series is dead.

If the story and character's are good, and the dungeons and mechanics are improved, I don't really care if the setting is the same. I feel like the kind of themes that these games are about resonate with the teen/young adult age range. So I get it. Would I like to see this kind of game applied to adults too? Sure. But for now, I'm okay with this.
Which is also probably the least it goes to, otherwise it'd just give the amount in centimeters, so yeah they're close.

Exactly, I think its left for you to decide what happens, some characters I think they did. Others I don't.
But in all honesty, who cares and why does it matter.
I died.
No need to be so dense -_- most people dissapointed are still OK with the setting
I know you're joking, but what's up with the Golden hate, there are people who don't like it? I still didn't play it but I hear it's better in everything, maybe not in the difficulty, but everything else?

They probably meant vita now THAT would have been a hilarious meltdown
It's pretty scary to think of Atlus going with the current trend of the east end of the industry , but I'm glad they rejected that path.
PS4 development basically confirmed. I bet they'll port it later. If there's demand there and they're aware of it, I don't see them not capitalizing on it down the road.
Fucking DEAD and I even like Episode III.
I look at your avatar and I pray to God that you are being sarcastic.
EDIT: Never mind, just read your post more carefully XD
Holy shit...

Whoa disaster avoided.
I'd be totally fine with Vita, I was only against 3DS and mobile, other than that I was ok with Vita, PS3, PS4, PC, Wii U, hell, I'd be really excited about it if it was for PS2, and I'm not even joking.

Also what might the chair hint be?
That the shackles don't appear until another chair appears?
Your party members weigh you all down?
P4 villain

The Tumblr account notes that they think he was referring to handhelds and not phones.
The Persona series has always maintained a very tight theme with the high school setting. It started with high-schoolers in Persona 1. Persona 2, while expanding the pool of characters and setting quite a bit, still began with and centered around a high school setting. Persona 3 and 4 were extremely tied to the high school setting. All four of these games have dark themes (admittedly, 4 less so, but there's still death and murder abound). Hell, Persona 3 was incredibly dark, and yet at the time was the most tied to the high school age and setting. In no way does high school imply adolescent nonsense. In no way does maturity = quality. I don't see how sticking to the franchise's overall theme is "the kiss of death". I would have preferred college, yes, but I think high school could be just as good, and given how dark the teaser seemed, who knows? It could be the most mature Persona yet.
Also, college is where mature people go? LOL. I met way more immature people in college than in high school.
Side note: Just because there's school chairs doesn't mean it can't be college. Many colleges use those same chairs.
This description of the theme makes me worry that it's going to be some kind of Danganronpa-ish thing, where everyone's held captive and made to play some kind of twisted game, they eventually break free (or die), etc., etc.
I feel like that trope, or whatever you want to call it, has become popular lately, and it would bum me out if this is the direction that P5 ends up going.

He has a Yukiko avatar from the chibi 3ds game guys
People would have still killed dozens if it was announced for 3DS.
oh man, that would have been hilarious.
I guess the people who kept insisting that it was going to be a Vita weren't so crazy after all. I hope it can end up looking as good as Catherine now that they've made their choice to put it on a console at least.
