I highly doubt Atlus are going to bet the farm on the PS4. No way will be P5 be anything but on the PS3, and maybe even the 360.

....that is an incredibly cruel article that fills me with a blinding rage.
It's bad enough we're still waiting, now someone has to say "Oh yeah, you see that Atlus thing that was on the name of devs working on PS4? Yeah, that's for persona 5, enjoy!" Sigh.
IF it was true, it would be a major boon for them, cause yeah, new systems usually go quite a bit without a new rpg. To get a numbered persona that early in a console life......
I can't see it, but now I'm excited. Dammit, I'm weak.

I thought I was the only one.
If Persona 5's a launch window title for PS4, I'll be there day one. I just hope they don't change the style as drastically as P2 -> P3, since in my mind P3 and 4 are RPG--nay, video game perfection.

Oh cool, I'm not the only one. =D
I would imagine any persona fan that didn't already have a vita probably did. Or seriously considered it.
I'm only pissed Gamestop screwed me out of one of the Solid Gold editions I had pre-ordered. Was supposed to get two, one for me, one for a friend, but no, incompetence in the store.
The online guys ALMOST cost me the other one, but they were able to get it through after their bungling cancelled the online order.
Again, was really excited about what a new character could mean. And then we got THAT. Sigh. Still, WORTH IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN.

I just bought the game without having a vita. I wanted that solid gold edition. One day I'll get one but not yet.
So what's the general consensus on which game has the better soundtrack P3 or P4?
I'm quite conflicted tbh. In one hand, P4 has way more songs and the dungeon songs are amazing (although pretty short), + Your Affection is a classic. On the other hand, the highs on P3 are probably higher and I love the funky songs even more, with the Iwatodai Dorm song being one of my favorites.

Mark me down on the buying a Vita for Golden group. But I also already had some PS1 and PSP games I could download from my account and my PS All-Stars digital copy so I had other stuff waiting for my Vita.
The snowqueen dungeon music is sooooo good:

This is really cool and reminds me of why I love the music of these games. See, the thing about video games in general is that participatory opportunity can create a stronger connection than say, an objective ear for music fundamentals or complexity, so what people will say is "better" is likely to be intertwined with invested moments.
That said, it can be difficult to say which is better because both games had such great moments where the tone of a song matched the tone of the moment. Of course, there were some lame moments as well, but whatever.
I'd take the question even further and ask what were the favored tracks complimenting particular moments?
For me, in Persona 3, many of the tracks got better and better because of the pairing of moments. In Persona 4, this didn't happen so much, but after hearing them to a point of excogitation, they became brilliant. To me at least! Almost like leitmotifs, sort of
Persona 3 ending spoilers, but this track in this scene is the perfect example of why I say P3's highs were higher. It just fits the animation so perfectly, and it's a shame it's not in P3P.

This is a great example - and what the hell it's not in P3P
One of my favorite Persona 4 tracks is actually not a melody at all - it's the basic strumming in Japanese style to the foggy endgame. It's hauntingly mundane and yet mysterious. I think that P3 did similar things more frequently as well like that Dark Hour theme! My god, so good.

They changed the scene form an animation to ingame, and I guess they couldn't loop it properly or something? It's just silence through most of the scene.
Persona 4 on the other hand doesn't have nearly as many moments where it's soundtrack is used as well. Only one scene really sticks out in my head where the soundtrack hit that level of highs (P4 spoilers:
Nanako's death.

P3 had the exam song make its grand debut.
And it has the song that plays in the Tartarus lobby.
And Burn My Dread Last Battle.
And Unavoidable Battle.
And (you get it now)
P3 soundtrack da bes
P4 soundtrack is fantastic too though.

Maybe I was confusing Mind Zero with Persona in my prediction...
Persona 4's tracks are more memorable for me, but I think I prefer P3's soundtrack.
Oh yeah, that's around that time, huh. Well, I'm interested in it since I haven't played DS2 before.
Persona news along with that sure would be nice, though.

I prefer P3's OST to P4, though I do like both.
oh man speaking of music, anyone listen to the lyrics and hear something completely different than what is actually being sung?
http://youtu.be/cRUEccOa4f0?t=29s
I keep hearing
"Heartbeat, Heartbeat dick gets so poundin'
Heartbreak Heartbreak you tell me, Goomba"

This almost makes up for some of your past transgressions.
Sound.
Am I right in thinking you have Twitter, by the way? What's your Twitter handle?

P3's soundtrack may be better overall, but in my opinion P4's boss themes stand head-and-shoulders above P3's.
The only boss themes I truly love in P3 are Danger Zone, The Battle for Everyone's Souls and Heartful Cry, whereas P4 has I'll Face Myself, A New World Fool, The Almighty (which is my favourite theme in the series), Fog, The Genesis, Shin Mitsuo Tensei, and Reach Out To The Truth (for minibosses).
The Voice Someone Calls and its uber-sad remix are better than Backside of the TV though.

I agree with pretty much all of this. Only thing I'll add is Battle for Everyone's Souls is probably the best final boss music in any game ever, a great culmination of everything you've experienced so far with things from the Velvet Room to other fights throughout the game. Better is the times it syncs up to an awesome part just after an Arcana quote happens or something. DAMN they nailed that boss, and it still takes awhile even overleveled as hell, unlike 4.
4 is the one I have the vast majority of songs on my ipod though. Makes great gym music for me too, especially a lot of the stuff on the reincarnation track. Snowflakes though, I say damn that is one sad song, and is probably the best addition Golden had.

Aw, that's not entirely true! At any rate, I'll help you get to the next page since I'm always down for a good read.
Ok here's a useless story:
I was at a restaurant last night and I swear I heard the Yoshi Jump sound effect from somebody's phone. You know that "ruh roh" sound?
I like you. I like the cut of your jib.

It's awesome, but The Voice Someone Calls is better. It's just so haunting and foreboding.
