It's harder not to care about anything Hashino's team do. Catherine was that good.

Once Ultimax comes out, we need to do a PersonaGaf Tournament.
I'll have to import it, as I live in the UK. Knowing our luck, we'll get it by 2090.

So in terms of excitement:
PQ > P4D > P5 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> P4AU
Because PQ is coming out this year and I actually have seen elements of P4D, however few. I'm excited for P5, but years of abuse at the hands of Square Enix has given me battered spouse issues where I worry that if I become excited for a console JRPG it might be my fault it doesn't turn out great.
I haven't even played P4A yet so of course I'm not excited for P4AU.

Yes Hashino's team is good, but like Sophia said until we see some footage for game we can't really get excited for it, because to be honest I can't get excited about a game that is only a screenshot of five chairs with chains to the legs with nothing else to go by.
And plus all we have to go off right now is very minute pieces of information right now, nothing really concrete, so it's really hard to judge whether the game is good or not. That's why a lot of us are waiting until we see something from ATLUS about that, we don't know what P-Studio has in store for P5, you don't know, I don't know, Sophia doesn't know, Levito doesn't know, and everyone else in PersonaGAF doesn't know about what will P5 be like until ATLUS gives more substantial information. So until we see something, I just can't give an opinion about it one way or the other.
EDIT: Okay the first sentence I do take back now about Catherine now that I thought about it for few minutes, I'm gonna get excited about the game when we see more info,

I'll Junpei my way to the top, 'cause Da Man deserves nothing less than total victory!
Yes it does. It means they have a precedent of making quality games that he is into, setting an expectation that he will enjoy the subsequent games the team develops.

P4AU>PQ>P5>>>>>P4D
P4D just isn't looking like my kind of thing honestly. Not hating, just not hype.
Well we have no real footage to go off of, all we've seen is chairs
Pray that it won't be region locked. Pray hard.

I wonder if they'll use new voice actors for the cast in P5.
I dunno if it will bother me hearing yosuke's, chie's, yukiko's etc voice on a new set of characters.
Then again it didn't bother me when i played Catherine, so who knows. .

This post is entirely devoid of emotion. It's Persona 5 and it's exciting as fuck and fuck yeah motherfucker I'm STOKED.

The most hype chairs ever, I might add.
Having anything more than casual expectations for something that doesn't exist at this point is silly. Obviously you have some idea of what to expect in terms of quality, but there isn't any game there yet.
On the other hand, I can see Persona Q. I know what it'll be about and how it plays. It actually has a firm release date. Therefore, I care about it more.
We're not talking about anticipating the game's contents, we're talking about anticipating the game itself. It's fine if you require seeing content to be anticipated, but don't put down anyone else's excitement that they only require a dev teams history plus brand to be excited by calling it "silly." That's just insulting and absolutely uncalled for.

It's 3AM in the UK. Im gonna head to bed in about 30 minutes. I'll be praying like a madman for ultimax to be region free
I guess the only way i'll be able to play Q is if i import a 3ds. We're still waiting for shin megami tensei iv.

this is it for me i guess.
i'm most interested in p5 precisely because there's nothing out there and i'm curious about it. i don't set high expectations for anything tbh. well, maybe i did a bit for smt4
Yet the unknown leaves so many more possibility. So much more to guess at and hope for. Honestly, at this point its easier to get more excited than later.
Not that I ever let that sort of excited cloud my judgement, but its easy to see why it could be more anticipated than other games by that alone. Having nothing really tangible can just as easily get a person excited, so its not that big of a factor.
If you insist. There's still nothing to anticipate about the game itself. In all honesty I'm rather bitter that the game is so far out despite a five year wait for it to be announced.
We've gone through every single piece of speculation possible at this point, pretty much. There's a point where you need to bring your expectations back into reality, or you'll end up disappointed.

I have a pretty solid Yu, Yukiko and Chie. I also have a decent Akihiko and Aigis. Hopefully that will see me through.
If they announce Adachi as a playable character, then im dropping everyone and will only use him.
In regards to Persona 5, i agree its hard to get overhyped for something we haven't seen yet. Those chairs were pretty nice though.
Oh, calm down. Its nothing so pointless. You're taking the concept and imagining it only in the extreme and most negative way possible.

On the one hand, this is how I feel.
On the other hand, the horrific cult of FFXV makes me wonder about this. People on GAF have been saying for years that Noctis is their favorite video game character.
I don't even how that a can possible be thing.
I can kind of understand the Noctis thing. There's a decent amount of info about him and he's pretty cool as far as Final Fantasy protagonists go (plus he's hot!) But like with Persona 5, until they showed off the awesome E3 footage trailer, I was pretty indifferent to that game too.
But even well before that trailer there were people obsessed with FF15. Ever since the premier trailer for it there have been folks that way.
I'm more excited for Ultimax because of the following reasons:
While the Investigation Team portion of Arena's story wasn't too interesting, the game ended with a few big cliffhangers that have my interest.
I love Arena as a fighting game, and a new version with new characters, changes to existing characters, and the amazing soundtrack (plus all the other changes and additions) is very appealing to me.
Then as you said, P5 is pretty far off and I know nothing about it other than there's chairs but that probably doesn't mean Kanji is the main character.
So I'd say for me it's: Ultimax > P5 > PQ > Dancing All Night
Well the trailers demonstrate Square still knows how to make a good trailer, but the pedigree is the only other thing XV really has at the moment. I mean, Shimomura, Nomura and Tabata teaming up could only be made better if they brought in an actual story writer and got Yoshida to do the art, but until I actually see the game in action, I can't allow myself to get hyped for FF anymore.
Yeah but that one I ranked high because the concept is just dumb enough to make me really excited for it.
One of the heads behind the JPop/Electropop group IceMan, Daisuke Asakura, is doing music for Dancing All Night. Here's some stuff out of Gate I. I can't wait to see what he does for DAN.
Am I weird in saying that my main hype point is wanting to see all of the characters in those higher res and higher quality models?
In terms of hype for me, it's Ultimax > PQ > P5 > DAN
I love fighting games, and I'm really looking forward to trying out the new characters/check out some of the new changes. Shadow characters are an interesting mix and I'm looking forward to see how P4A's story continues.
PQ is up there since I love this kinda fanservice and what's been shown has been really good. Not tooooo big on dungeon crawlers, but still looking forward to it regardless.
P5 is 3rd place if only because we haven't even seen barely anything at all. I'm sure my interest will rise for it as more info is shown.
DAN's last because, well, I don't care for these type of games that much. Will probably pick it up though since I love Persona.

Also this. Only time we're ever going to see those characters at a higher fidelity.

Also Theatrhythm taught me that JRPG Rhythm games are addictive so I can't wait to sink hours in this the way I did that.

My hype for PQ will increase dramatically if it lets you draw maps, but I doubt it.

I'm 40 hours in and I have no idea.
It's pretty mellow for a long time and then EVERYTHING HAPPENS.
It seems like a major game play mechanic of EO so it's very possible that they'll keep it in.

SJ was based on the EO engine and didn't allow it.
All but confirmed seemingly, if that comment on the PS Blog was any indication.
This was vaguely confirmed in the announcement post. Someone asked John Hardin about a Vita port and he said something along the lines of "The traditional Etrian Odyssey map drawing mechanic wouldn't really work on a single screen...". Implies it'll be in at least.

Well if you count Yukari and Junpei's friendship problem June Festival as "picking up" then June.
Otherwise I dunno. July has given me some plot development, and the July Dungeon was a nice change of pace from Tarter Saucezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
