Nope!
You're cruel. >_>
I could see them doing that though and then going dark again for a couple more months.
If it's coming out this winter there, they probably need to be discussing it fairly regularly by the end of August, if not before.

How long did Persona 3 take to make? I know Persona 4 was knocked out in like a ridiculously quick time, but I'm curious as to how long it took to make the original template.
<(*_*<)^(*_*)^(>*_*)>
Not too sure a random variety show where two people talk about all things Persona would be the right place to reveal the first actual trailer for P5, but I guess there's always a chance.
...Usually when those words are uttered, it means there's no chance.

I would guess around 2-3 years, because I bet they started right after finishing SMT III: Nocturne, since the they split from R&D 1 of ATLUS to go do that.
I have a feeling we'll get more info about the other Persona games. Unless Tomomi Isomura voices someone in Persona 5, that is.
Do we know who voices Kanamin?

Ah, I see. I'm just kind of contextualizing Persona 5's development time, which seems fairly long, and long dev times have a tendency to make me nervous (even though it's usually unjustified).
Yes, Minako Kotobuki.

It's not as lengthy once you realize the team was working on Catherine in addition to the ports of every game in the series, although I'm not sure how intensive or how much of the Persona team worked on the latter.

I bet he'd like to grab that ass and run to the bedroom, heyo
i'm an awful, awful human being
You sir get the official Red Savarin face of disapproval.
Prepare for your execution
They could not have picked a more perfect actress. >_>;

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a small part of the team working on the pre-production part of P5 while they were developing Catherine, heck I wouldn't be surprised if they were doing that after P4 was finished
I would, given what they've stated in the past.
Ah, then yes, my guess is Tomomi is in P5.
I don't really think you need to worry until a games production hits the five year range. They haven't been working on this for that long. They made Catherine and then they built an engine afterward. My guess has always been that they spent a year in pre-production nailing down the story and characters and started development after that. P5's dev time is probably just right.
But the only thing she's done is some BlazBlue stuff (in terms of video game VA)...

Persona 4 pantyhose... someone stole my idea!

You're not allowed to avatar quote yourself, Tank-senpai. That's cheating.
You don't want to know
You are fucking kidding me. Which stat is that so I can know to NOT EVER MAX IT OUT.
I think you're one of the people who played DR with the dub and enjoyed it, so I imagine you agree with me that sometimes casting newbies /unknowns goes a long way.
Courage, it requires rank six, but the social link doesn't have to be romantic.
I still have flashbacks to Fire Emblem Awakening.

There's that, and it might be a more common occurrence when it comes to Japanese seiyuu, but I'm trying to point out ways that this won't be Persona 5 before the hype train you're conducting hits a cliff.
I think she's probably just participating as a series fan, like last time.
Don't quote me on this, but my understanding was that at least P3P was done by a skeleton team of the original people and that Golden was done by a mostly different team while the main people kept chugging away at 5. Criware, which is the engine that powered 3 and 4 in their various incarnations, is platform agnostic and while that doesn't make the porting process a complete breeze, it should mean that Atlus was able to put out P3P and Golden without having nearly all hands on deck, even with all the graphical changes that had to happen with the former.
Not entirely certain what went down for the other PSP ports, though. Historically, Atlus has contracted companies like TOSE to do the ports like when the Super Famicom SMT games were brought over to the PlayStation, although they've largely gone uncredited. Pretty certain that at least the port for 1 was an inside job since they did actively publicize people like Meguro working on it, but it's a toss-up for the 2 duology. Atlus once again is the only company credited with development to my knowledge, but given how little they ultimately changed outside streamlining the battle system and adding some cinematics, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if those games were contracted to an outside company in secret.
But that's just my guess with very little actual evidence to go on. It's not entirely common for porting companies to be openly named in some cases and TOSE is famous for being completely anonymous as a developer outside the Starfy games. As I mentioned before, though, TOSE has been known to be hired by Atlus in the past and I recall Atlus' name still showing up in recent Japanese financial documentation when I was researching what games they've worked on a while back. So that's just my hunch personally.

Then dont look at it like that, his social link is still pretty decent despite the general hate he gets.
Well...
He's a romance option in the Japanese version. They censored it here because I don't know HE'S FUCKING TEN.
His S.link is pretty enjoyable though, and it's an evening S.link so it's easy to max out.
In fairness, I felt most of Nowi's conversations in Awakening were okay on their own. It was the idea of her getting married that was unwelcome.
They're going in a new direction for P5, she's voicing Igor.
I'm still slightly worried that Igor won't be in P5, and they'll just hand his position off to Margaret.

If they do get rid of Igor, I'd like if they brought back Philemon to fill that role. Handing it off to Marge would feel kind of weak, she doesn't really have the same mystique on her own.
Is that a new pokemon or something?
goddamn, soejima.
Mafia Kajita certainly looks like a member of the mafia! Talk show is a fun idea. Stalker club go!

goddamn, soejima.
Kaneko is that you. The girl reminds me of a cross between Chihiro and Yukiko.
Prediction: The talk show's gonna be filled with people clapping and saying "hai" frequently, shoving random Persona artwork into the camera while people scream about it and five minutes before the show ends they'll reveal the exciting announcement, which will either consist of a Persona related contest or a new Persona figure.

P1/2 confirmed to retroactively be all bad dreams of Mitsuru if she was a Nanjo and a boy in 1996.
Digimon. The franchise is mounting a comeback.
Well the only real reason I worry about it is I heard that Igor's voice actor died? Like, I remember reading that that was the reason that Margaret does all the talking in the anime, and Igor mostly just says "Welcome to the Velvet Room."
I dunno about mystique, but if I had to cite a reason I don't think Marge could take the task it'd be that she doesn't feel vaguely threatening. Before I got into P4 and had only played a little of P3 I was super worried that Igor was secretly my enemy, since all that talk about contracts was fishy.
goddamn, soejima.
The designs for these 2 are too good
It's been said before, but Soejima really is the ultimate artist
Well yeah, that's what I mean by mystique. When I played P4 I was convinced Igor was evil during the beginning of the game. There's that sort of wariness about him. Marge is just kind of a person.
