It would be nice to have Yumi and Shihoko to sing a select few songs for the sake of nostalgia, but I really hope a new singer would take the spotlight for P5.

A new vocalist for Persona 5 was confirmed by Shoji Meguro during PSL2015, supposedly.
Wouldn't really want any of the trio returning, at least prominently, for Persona 5 tracks. It would hurt its own identity by being associated with P3 and P4, and it seems Meguro has a clear vision for where he wants to go with P5's music.
LJ may as well stay on. Rap is a component of acid Jazz and he's already done both P3 and 4, so it's not like Yuni and Shihoko where's he associated with one specific game.
The vocalist should be new, although I like Yumi and Shihoko enough that U wouldn't be sad to see them return. A good singer is a good singer.

Lotus Juice was on a Persona 4 track? The anime's one thing, but the game?
Beauty of Destiny, off the top of my head.
Edit: I posted before your edit.
He's done songs specifically tied to P4. I'm not being so hyper specific.
Well, I'm hoping that the last part doesn't loop as much as it does in the trailer. That loop is a very very weak guitar lick, and it actually kind of ruins the song for me since it loops 4 times in total. The first half is beyond stellar though.
I really think this song needs vocals. I really thought P4A2's theme was lame when they first showed it off as an instrumental, but when they added vocals, it became pretty amazing.
I can see this song getting a singer with a deeper, more sensual voice. Something jazzy.
I really don't count an anime adaptation as being in the same league as a main game. I'd be really surprised if any previous Persona artists returned in Persona 5, in a way where they were predominantly present in any one song.

As much as I love Yumi and Shihoko and Lotus Juice, I'm hoping for a completely new(to the series) vocalist for P5. A few references in the game to past games is ok but I just want this to have a completely separate soundtrack (well itll probably still have the poem for everyone's souls etc).
Also hype for the final track on the OST: Acid Jazz in Velvet Room.

Hopefully we get more songs with this kind of sound too, just fits so perfectly.

Like I said, it's music associated with P4.
I try not to get so caught up in the specifics of this stuff though. At a certain point, it's another Persona game by the same creative team as P3/4. There's going to be some resemblance to what came before. And that doesn't seem to be a hindrance here. The trailer and the info we have now do a pretty good job cementing P5 as its own game with its own identity. I don't think LJ or an older singer returning would take away from or hinder that. I mean, think about why it's OK Meguro is coming back; It's new music in a new style and that's what counts.
Somebody with some rasp in their voice would be great, yeah.

I looked at the lengths of the openings for P3, P4 and P3P, and all 3 are about 1:35 long. That also is the standard length for anime openings.
Meanwhile, the section of the trailer that's supposedly the OP music is around 2 minutes. I think there's an extra loop at the end there to cover all the footage they wanted.

I was debating whether i wanted the regular or limited edition, now i'm set on the limited edition
That's the official Atlus (Japan) company website, and it was recently updated to reflect how they're hiring and recruiting interns for their fiscal year 2016 (it hadn't been updated since, like, April of 2014). To promote intern applications, the description essentially says stuff like: "Learn how to make awesome games."
I almost got a heart attack there.
This made me laugh more than it should have.

oh i so need this. Did they ever announced a English p3 movie yet? 1-3 or atleast 1.

I wish. Voice actors take money, and i don't know if an English version has enough demand to fit the cost and effort. Although he more i watch these the more appealing Japanese voices get, so it's becoming less jarring to me as i watch them. Also, i have to say i love Aigis, Yukari, Mitsuru, and Junpei's JP VA's the best
Pishposh. Yumi is great.
I did think Ayane was the more interesting of the two though.

Right now I'm in NG+, going for the platinum trophy, and I joined Band (always did Drama before).
Dude, really? It's goofy to start (aren't they all?), but it goes places.

About Persona 5, I think I know when exactly it will be released in Japan.
I've noticed with ATLUS games that there is always a four month promotion period for each game following its release date announcement, with the exception being PQ. Each game uses a literal four month period, by rounding it up to the first of each fourth month from the announcement of the release date. Here's an example of the pattern:
So, we know we're getting a new trailer for Persona 5 in June, as it's the pre-order bonus for P4D. My bet is that the release date will be shown on this Blu-ray disc. But, since not everyone will be getting P4D, ATLUS is probably going to announce the release date another way, too. However, that isn't the important thing. We know P5 is getting a special trailer in June for all that pre-ordered P4D.
If we go by this theory, you will be seeing Persona 5 on Thursday, October 15, 2015 in Japan. That's my bet. Four months from release date announcement, if the release date is announced in June. The 15th would make sense as it has a 5 in the date, so I doubt they wouldn't take advantage of that.

I really hope they do, but I have a feeling they're not going to. We'll most likely get info and other types of things, but I doubt we'll be seeing anything major like a release date announcement until June.
I also have a feeling that Atlus USA has been working on this game, and that we'll see it exactly two months later in North America, on December 15th, 2015, which is a Tuesday.
Remember, this is just a theory.
I dunno, I just feel like there's not much happening in it. Maybe it's just me.
The idea occurre to me as well a few months ago. I figure it might get monotonous, but a good writer could probably make it a good read.
I don't have the link to hand, and don't even know how I'd find it again, but I'm certain it exists.

I feel as though after this Famitsu magazine spread this week, P5 will probably go silent again for awhile or we'll hear stuff from time to time about the game but not much. I think we'll probably see a release date announcement in most likely May or June, around P4D's launch.
As for ATLUS USA, well they're probably working on both games right now, and we'll see them both at E3 in some capacity. With P4D likely being playable and P5 probably will be either just be a trailer or just a press demo.
if i can't see it it doesn't exist, that's how i've survived this world so far and that's how i intend to keep surviving it
now on what day does persona 4 start anyway
By E3? Of course.
They have it now. Don't tell me you actually think they saw P5 for the first time last week like the rest of us.

I keep seeing people say that there's a big Persona 5 feature in the famitsu on the 26th as well. I haven't seen a source for that though, and it's not in Gematsu's writeup, so there's a decent chance that it might not be true.
Yes I do think that.
That's a little crazy and almost certainly not the case. Not when they have a small translation team and want to launch the games close to Japan like Ultimax.
They've probably had material from it since Thanksgiving.

I haven't heard anything about a special in Famitsu, but the new issue of the Persona Magazine comes out on February 25th. Could you be thinking of that?

I've posted my thoughts on this a month ago, and like back then I can't believe for one moment that AtlasUSA saw P5 for the first time last week.
