Its a tough balancing act between buffs, damaging skills, healing, status effect, and passives. Probably could've made some better dedicated Personas for my MC, instead of focusing a little too heavily on elemental dmg diversity. I feel as if I should've leveled up some more too, as I was only 68-69 at the end, but I was pretty burnt out by the length of the game at that point and rushed a little too much.
Tbf the assets are fairly high quality to come across as PS4 assets, the art style helps too. All they need for Persons 6 is to make the world a bit more seamless and less restrictive, use PBR and upgrade the lighting (this will happen for sure), and increase the NPC draw distance so that they are not turning into silhouette 5 meters away from you. If they do that then the game would look sufficiently current gen, even if they decide to not upgrade the assets.

P6 is going to take a while because all the main people are going to be working on Re Fantasy

Can't wait for Persona 6 starring Sherlock Holmes as the MC's Persona. With support off other characters who have the following Personas - Hercule Poirot, Cordelia Gray, Miss Marple, Nancy Drew, Philip Marlowe and Inspector Clouseau (I want a Persona game with a Detective theme).
I am a sad panda. I'll probably be 30 years old when I get to play as a high schooler again :/
I so hope they pick a university setting for Persona 6.

Maybe they will let some other people take over.
Persona 4 is that

Isn't that Switch exclusive?
This is my first Persona game and I believe my first Atlus game and I engrossed in it. I was actually meaning to play P4G but my Vita broke so I never got around to it. Atlus has a new fan and I'm looking for more.
Same. As a college student I would relate to it so much. However, I will probably have graduated by then.

Another Mementos question.
Yea....this is what kills me about the games being exclusive. I want to replay P3P and P4G, and I can't
Are the targets positions random? I just beat the 3rd dungeon so I have more Memtos to explore. Could the targets be anywhere though? What if I did the targets before defeating dungeon 3, would they have been in the areas I already explored?

Isn't Re Fantasy a whole other team now with the Persona team being separate? I don't really see Atlus waiting the 4 or so years for Re Fantasy to complete to only start P6 afterwards for another at least 2-3 years.
I hope they do this provided they pass it off to good people. I mean you get Yakuza games so frequently which are incredibly content filled and always good games, so we know Atlus can do the same for Persona if they want to.

AFAIK, Hashino is probably done with Persona, at least for a long time now. Sort of like Miyazaki at From Software is done with Souls. Atlus rotate the director's chair every so often, it's nothing unusual, there's plenty of talented folks at Atlus, I wouldn't worry.
Already played it. That's a separate series.
Kind of, but not really. I just want a Sherlock Holmes Persona, that's all really, lol.

Why..? I think they'd make at least one more after Re Fantasy.
When you ask them to hang out like normal but your rank won't increase that time you get the option to pick a place.

I mean it's not impossible, but all of the main names behind the modern Persona games are going to be working on Re Fantasy
SMT HD is the Switch exclusive, not Re Fantasy.
But you're assuming that the budgets and team sizes are the same for the Persona games as they are for the Yakuza games, which they most likely are not.
Name ?
Not led by Hashino though. I'm sure the current Persona team is working on something.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army
How's that for a name?
WhiskerFrisker

I could've sworn I read that SMT HD could come to PS4. It doesn't really matter to me though since I have a Switch and PS4.

Give it to Kaneko!
People think it will come to Ps4 since the site doesn't list it as exclusive. While the 3ds game is listed as exclusive.
No one really knows what the next Persona game is going to be or who is helming it. We know Hashino and co. are focused on Re: Fantasy, so either Atlus coasts on P5 spinoffs until Hashino can make P6, or another director steps up for P6.
Given the quality of the P3/P4 spinoffs, I'm not terribly optimistic about the prospect of another lead taking over the series, so I personally hope Hashino and co. do P6 after Re:Fantasy even if it takes a while. Persona is Atlus's biggest franchise, though, so they may not want to wait so long for another entry.

SMT switch, Re Fantasy, Persona 6. Looking forward to all of these but unfortunately it seems they seem quite a few years away at least. How was SMT IV Apocalypse? I enjoyed IV but never got around to this one.

Yeah you can literally fast travel to their location at times. Its wise to advance it for a bit after you've dealt with your targets. I was always ready to enter a new area right away.
That's the Raidou Kuzunoha series.
They're an action RPG series where you play as a demon catching supernatural detective.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat. I don't know if I knew that. Planned on getting a Switch anyway but this cements it, ha.
It could be on PS4. It hasn't been confirmed to be switch exclusive.

Better than IV in all aspects IMO
Are they not ? Both are rather mid budget series, Yakuza might be a bit lower but at the same time it does get a lot more games. My point being 4-5 years would be a bit too much even if Persona is a bit on the higher side of the budget group for Atlus when compared to Yakuza.
Can't wait for the Persona 1 costumes & music. I loved the PSP remake battle theme.

You talk to the person on a day when their confidant won't level up. You're given the option to invite them somewhere fun, or to hang out in the area they're already in.
Wada's been teasing a Persona game for a couple of years now. The next Persona game is very likely directed by him, and will likely be a spin-off. There's also DJ Taku Takahashi's comment on remixing P5 music for something he speculated could be the next game.
Yakuza almost certainly gets more budget and a bigger team at Sega than Persona gets at Atlus. Up until now, the Yakuza series has consistently sold more than Persona in Japan.
I'd gladly be up for a P5 spin off...so long as it's not a fighting game but rather the same type of RPG game.
The style, setting, presentation and music is just too damn good to not be picked up again.
All we know is that it's going to be available on Switch, and going by how they called Strange Journey "3DS project" and the new SMT "HD project" instead of Switch, it's way more likely that it'll be multi-platform.
Yep.

I remember​ the Gaf thread about it. Caused quite a stir amongst fans.
I heard you liked to use a colon within a colon.
When I say the next game, I'm referring more to a hypothetical "P6" rather than a spinoff. I think there's going to be P5 spinoffs regardless of who helms P6.

Eh I would prefer if someone steps in rather than wait. Maybe Persona will see a shift like it did from 2 ->3. Maybe the Devil Survivor people, even though I didn't like the 2nd one as much as the 1st. Felt like Persona infected it.
I also don't want anymore spin-off games. I feel like they rode P4 way too long.
What has Wada lead/done before?

Loved every second of it.
Persona 6 on PlayStation 6
Give it at least 3 years and well hear about 6 in predevelopment at least.
Atlus won't let that long ass break happen again
I still want my Persona 5 Arena game tho

The gist is to unlock all possible areas. Then select the area your target is in, then Morgana will say he's either on a lower or higher floor. When I enter Area 8 and Morgana says he's at a higher floor, I sometimes try 1 or 4 and see what he says. This makes traversal minimal. Some are standing at the end of an area you can instantly warp to.
To be fair the japanese name would be Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs the Soulless Army. The SMT moniker is an Atlus USA thing.
I see, then it's strange that Persona got fully localised with English voice overs and Yakuza didn't.
