I don't mind about the theme being darker or not, it's the tone. Less bubblegum-pop please.

I want the game to have moments of Super Best Friends Time a là P4 since those were my favourite moments in the game. If they go back to a P3-style I-just-live-with-these-people approach, I'm going to be very sad

Yeah. This.
I'm surprised to see you say that, but I agree.

I think Hashino specifically calling out that it would still be in high school but have a "different tone" pretty heavily implies that it's going to lose some of the bubblegum pop of P4.
Personally, I loved the contrast of P4's bright, shiny, pop-y presentation with the twisted undertones of the shadow world. But I'm certainly ready for something different. Just make it awesome!

Nah, don't expect too much for a bit. If anything, we'll get something in the Persona magazine, but I think they're going to space stuff out with all the different releases to promote.
There is another nico stream coming, this time for P4U2. Stream is at 5am EST. Also maybe win an autographed poster from Soejima.
Yup, I'd get all of these. Might have to, eventually.

I don't think we will see anything of value till after Christmas.
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong. It worked great in Persona 4, I just don't want it to become a theme for the future franchise.

I feel like Persona and high school are forever linked. P2EP was refreshing in a way because the party was pretty much all adults, but in the long run I can't see the current Persona Studio committing to something like that unless it was another sequel to a numbered entry. No matter what direction Atlus has decided to go with in P5, I feel I'll be pleased as they have yet to let me down.
I agree.
I always think they made P4 like that so fans wouldn't think its always similar to how P3 doing thing, after that done they can go back to dem Edgy..
I just wish they can pull thing smoother with all experience that they now have.. I'm currently at
Shinji's got shot moment

P4D subbed trailer said:
Great story confirmed!
Subtitled P4D trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b22_lgI6wP0#t=87 - Link thanks to Flux and cjkeats for showing it to me in irc.
Hopefully they can. Catherine's execution was a lot smother, but the setting in Catherine leaves little room for cringe inducing moments to arise.
Either way, It's been 5 years since the last Persona game was wrote. Hopefully they've learned a few tricks since then.
Link thanks to flux in the other thread!
"story is as Persona as it gets"
Kanami is an important puzzle piece. It's going to be arena's plot but replace "fight" with "dance" and "Labrys" with "Kanami"

Any yea how Shadow Labrys plays, not SLab, but Shadow Labrys.
So disappointed that the new game isn't in college.
Only mature people go to college therefore the game would've been very mature. Now it's going to be less mature because highschool isn't as mature as college. Wonder what Altus has against mature themes in their games? The matureness would've negated the fan service and animeness that plagued P3/4, which were of course less mature than their SMT brethren-- hell there was even a big step down in matureness from P1/2. For once the fans clamoured for mature college themes in the series--and Atlus didn't listen. So alas, my interest in the series is dead. Thanks for not listening to the fans Atlus, how very immature of you.

Bravo.
I know this only a satire
But if true the setting is graduating class, that's still heavier than 2nd year college... those people better think it again.

Darn, I was hoping someone else would've said this and it would've been a serious post.
Fantastic.

Something something The Rock Shia Lebewf something David cage
That's the great irony of the "debate" though. Japanese culture attributes more weight to high school than college. We've had people who know the culture (or claim to) explain this countless times.
The "debate" has always been hilarious. Hashino "defines" Persona as "High School". He's been adamant about this in interviews. It's clear they made Catherine its own thing because Hashino's team wanted to explore non-high school themes. He even went out of his way to explain that high school is a great theme because basically everyone has been through it. For those that are currently in it, it's relevant, for those who have been through it, it's nostalgic.
I think people get hung up on the fact that EP involved out-of-high school situations, but that was under a different director and team.
Absolutely.

You forgot doge.
Don't know why all of you are making light of my legitimate gripe with the new game. Any semblance of maturity in P3/4 was destroyed the moment Arena was released. The only way to salvage the mature themes that permeated the older games was to start fresh. Now we're going to be bombarded with themes and characters so lacking in maturity to the degree that it'll be nauseating.
We were promised dark and mature themes, and now we're getting the same adolescent garbage. Enough is enough Atlus, we grow tried of your promises of grim themes--only to be slapped in the face with a color pallet befitting of a Japanese Animation.
