Don't worry, it won't be.
Something being announced Tuesday would be a nice birthday present, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
They have all those demon assets lying around
If it doesn't get announced this month I will lose all hope
More just that I really like the handheld aspect of it, the little tweaks actually make it a lot better for me
Plus it was the first Persona game I played.

I hope slinks are gone. There. I said it.
It's not the fact you want them gone that shocks me, but rather that you know that's not happening and said it anyway.
Not a chance. I'm sure they'll be reworked into something less linear though.

That's kind of why I said it and I don't want them actually gone, just reworked and less static and more open and realisticish
I know I have said before I would prefer them on a meter scale and not rank 1-10 and there are various things you can do to raise and lower the meter.

I believe we have had this discussion and agree completely.

Then you might remember my other radical decision, was to remove day phases from the calendar system, and instead, have actions take up hours of the day, like going on an slink, depending on what it is, takes up 2-8 hours, going to the battle area, takes from 5-10 hours and so on.
I actually like this idea.
I think I vaguely remember that. That's a great idea.
I feel like you have more to say.
i do but i should really be thinking about other things instead of game design right now
it doesn't feel 'persona' and seems to move more towards a systemic model rather than one heavily based around episodic chunks of story/narrative/character content but then again p2 --> p3 is a pretty big leap so what do i know

Haha, figured it was this.
I could see why you'd say that though. P3/4 are really well structured and segmented, even if the pacing doesn't always live up. While I like buddha's idea at a glance, I realized after I posted that all those variations would lead to a nightmare of game design, the likes of which I simply (and pardon my language) would not want to fuck with.
Remo am cry.
Technically, I imagine it's probably similar to Catherine, but I think the art direction will be amazing.
I've always found it amusing how in P4G, the new outfits are more stylish than the ones from the original game. It's like in winter everyone's fashion sense improves before returning to normal again in Spring, haha.
And yeah, I'm assuming all the assets will be new too.
That's where I think the underestimation is being made. It's been more than two years at this point. They know what they're doing now and if it's only on PS3, there's no reason not to take advantage of the hardware as much as their budget/schedule allows.
I'm expecting a marked improvement over Catherine, myself.
Everything after the bolded: AGREED
I agree that S. Links could be worked into the main story a bit better where it makes sense. (Mild P4 Spoiler:
Playing idiotball with Dojima, anyone?
I think it will look marginally better, like P4 did over P3.
Is the Vita screen really that good? It's all I ever hear about the thing.
Yeah, it's that good. It's actually difficult going back to the 3DS now for me because it's screens are so inferior.
It won't be announced at the Sony event I imagine. Still no news on the Index bid so until we have info on that I'm expecting zero Persona 5 news
I'll just keep replaying Golden until then. Got that damn Hardcore Risette trophy so well on my way to platinuming the game! Only easy trophies left now.

Now I want to take a look at it, or better yet just own one. Hopefully Somy will announce a 64 GB memory card cause that's the only thing holding me back. I don't like the idea of deleting games to make room for more on the 32 GB.
I have a bad habit of playing so many games at a time. I guess you're right though, I can't expect to have it all at one time. Though 32 GB is a must for me. Family vacations normally always takes me to a no Wi-Fi zone so I have to pack lots of games.
I second this.
What I want from the social link system of 5: Change.
From 3, we know the Tarot card system represents a journey leading to enlightenment. Well, I'd like for the social link system from 5 to represent that too. Have people tied to an element so you don't mess up the idea, or even have the same personas as well, but have their link change. Keep it a 10 point(or whatever) system for links, but have multiple "ranks" represented with the tarot journey.
With the system, not all of the "rank ups" need to be moments where they come to a realization about themselves, you can save that for the points where it changes. Just hanging out could cause a rank up. The more you hang out with someone, the more willing they are to drop things to hang out with you, and the more willing they are to open up to you about their issues. In other words, making the system more "real" is what they should really strive to do. So say someone's only willing to hang out once every week or something at first. The closer you get to them, the more "free" they can be. Take the best of 3's system and fix the one bad thing about 4.
While I love the idea of a "Max-link run", they really need to make it utterly impossible to accomplish in the future. Have it as more of a reason to do a game + if you want, but I'd really like it for it to be possible to realistically only max 4 or 5 of the 20 Tarot, provided it keeps that system in place.

P4 Golden Spoiler:
And yes, the moment when Adachi's link actually changes is what led me to think of this idea in the first place. I can't imagine they just had that one moment for a new thing in a re-release, I can easily see it as a "feature" of 5.

nvm
I've always thought it'd be cool if characters could represent more than one arcana based on how their story develops (with some player input of course).
Ah, then that's understandable.

And me, well...I have the entire Persona series from 1 to 4G installed on my Vita at all times and that takes up a sizable chunk of space!
Played the trial, said "OMG THIS IS AMAZING", didn't buy it because I'm dumb.
Game's legit.
It's not too late, young grasshopper.
