These are old combo vids that are probably posted somewhere in the thread, but for the sake of people stopping by I'll link them here:

It has a storyline that's positioned in a time period after the end of P4, anyway. I doubt anyone knows whether it'll ever get referenced anywhere else, esp. given that the story connections in the Persona series are minuscule at best.

Thanks, and you know, I hope it stays this way. I liked that P3 and P4 are so different in story and tone. I would like Persona 5 to do the same rather than be like, the sequel to P4U and see all of the significant characters from P3 and P4 come together for an adventure or something.

Yeah, don't get me wrong I like the Persona 3 references in Persona 4 but the fact that those two games are in the same universe always seemed odd to me. Even though Persona 4 is already pretty crazy, I find it really weird to think that there are humanoid battle robots in that universe.

All of the Persona games are in the same universe. I honestly don't think the battle robots are nearly as weird as, say, secret sci-fi space Nazis. :P
 
Persona 4 took place in 2011, but when did Persona 3 take place? If P4U happens after Persona 4, I wonder how old Mitsuru and Akihiko are. I wonder what year Persona 5 will take place.

I hope that they keep the cross references to a minimum (ie. Persona 3 television program mentioning the characters/events of Persona 2 and Persona 4's Gekkoukan High visit). The newer Persona games are pretty tame in scope compared to the older ones which dabbled into progenitor theory and Cthulhu mythos.

Hell yes, my Chie army brother!

Trial of the Dragon 4 LAIF!

On the contrary! I hope that the next Persona game kicks things up a notch or two, and makes things as crazy as the original Persona games.

If nothing else, in order to make it so that when these various guys and girls clash in future Mayo games, it won't be so out of place! :lol

P3 happened in 2009 if I remember right so they'll be at least 3 years older.
 
persona 5 when?

Right now.

Or some time this year :)

Me too, I just don't want Persona 3/4 characters taking away from the tone set by the new cast. Cameos will do fine for me.
 
I'd like a full on adult cast for Persona 5 like it was with Catherine, Atlus could definitely pull it off like before. I doubt that would happen though.
 
Neat. I'm 2h into Persona 4 and am enjoying it. I dunno if I just should wait and start a new game on the PSV since I'm thinking about picking one up on release.

That's the least of my concerns, personally.

I'd love something like that too. But considering how much the "high school" thing has worked so well for them, I too don't see it going anywhere, anytime soon.

I just wished that they would play around with it a bit. Both P2 games involved the high school setting without being explicitly tied down by it.

Still, I'm hoping that Catherine's relative success could certainly showcase to Atlus that an "adult" drama can work.
 
I wish people would stop posting that fan made soundtrack like that... Yeah, it kicks ass and all but it has nothing to do with P5.

Yes please... crap like this is a dead giveaway. Hope the music sounds nothing like it.

I was thinking about that (or at least give us 20 somethings). I hope they go the university and college student route.

I think its a great fan made mix... but that's all it is. If I went into a Metroid thread and starting posting fan made soundtracks in a way that it looks like it had something to do with a sequel for the PS3 I'd be banned within the hour.

I hope for this too and I don't really know why it isn't done this way considering that Persona 2 had plenty of adults. Maybe it has something to do with the idea that younger people are developing as people in a stronger way? I dunno.

This would be perfect. You could still have things like class in the college setting but open it up even more into the exploration of social convention. Good idea :)
 
Why not just make it college and not high school?

I'm no expert or anything, but from what I could tell by living in Japan for a while was that high school is a little more like college than in the West maybe. It's sort of that first frontier for adolescent freedom.

Nonetheless, college is a great idea. As for your question though, maybe it has something to do with the demographic that the game is being sold to? I don't know, cj_iwakura may know more about this and the whole SMT franchise thing.

Let's just say that High School girls sell better.
 
3 and 4 each took place 3 years after their original release. So if P5 is a 2013 game, 2016 seems like a safe bet..you know..depending on if that arbitrary bit of logic I just pulled out my hat rings true.

I don't care when P5 takes place, so long as I get some more o' dat cameo action. Preferably Chie.

Speaking of high school girls... I wonder where Marie comes from? She's in Persona 4 Golden, and is seen in screenshots at their school. She's got Velvet Room imagery all over her... hmmm, mysterious.

Not sure where she came from, but if Vincent in P3P was any indication, then I know where she's headed.

Persona 5

Persona 5

If not, I'm hoping that she is part of a larger portion of story/dungeons in Persona 4 that occurs beyond the original scope of the game. Like, maybe she's from a demon high school in the "velvet world" or something and your characters go there.

Damn, that'd be sweet.

That isn't Persona. The defining trait of the Persona series specifically is that it's in a high-school setting with a cast composed in large part of teenagers (as opposed to other parts of the extended Megaten family that can really have anybody in the lead role.)

I wouldn't mind seeing them do another new spinoff series with adult characters, but let Persona be Persona.

Bzzt.

Persona has branched out from teens before, and can(and SHOULD!) do so again.

I'm all for a college setting, or another adult cast.
 
And the director interviews for Eternal Punishment explicitly noted that the game was designed to differentiate itself from the high-school theme with both adult characters and themes (especially since it ties pretty heavily into the P1 cast who were also then adults).
 
Hahaha, almost got me with that fake soundtrack! I was thinking to myself, how could an OST leak for a game they for all we know haven't started work. Nice tracks tho

Yeah, and he no longer works for Atlus.

Thanks for reminding me. :(

On a lighter note.

Great interview with the godfathers of Megaten, and Persona.

I always thought that when they revealed her they said she was a new party member with possibly her own dungeon like the others?
 
Wait, This OST is really freaking well made, who puts all this time into a prank? why not just release an album and get all the credit, you put all this work in anyway. Is there a story I am missing out on here?
 
Probably one of the rare moments I actually decided to watch a director commentary/interview with any piece of media. And I actually watched it more than once.

Current MegaTen is still awesome, but Cozy and Kaneko just had a distinct, unique vision in the 90's/early 00's that hasn't really been matched since.

Watch closely and you'll see the foundation for Raidou's in that interview.
 
I like what I see in the vids posted above. I'd love to see this on the Vita. If not, I'll just buy it at a low price on dat ps triple.

Um, no? Just her name, artwork and some in-game screenshots of her interacting w/ the P4 cast in and around Inaba. However, we do know that there's going to be a
Monad dungeon
and
Vision Quest
. Most speculation about her seems to fall under the assumption that
she's Elizabeth in disguise
... and that somehow this will tie in to the fighting game.

But who knows? Could just be a red herring.
