Adult cast, badass detectives, it's a great start.
Police officer Chie is such an awesome concept~
Have I mentioned I loved her social link? Hers is definitely among the best in the series imo.
He could have new voice actor too, seeing as he'd be 13/14.
I am only okay with this image under the assumption that it takes place two years past Persona 4. I refuse to believe that Naoto grew her hair out to as long as mine in a year's time :|
New cast please for the love of God.

Naoto: "Im getting too old for this shit!"
Da Chief: "Chie, you're a loose cannon! That's the 3rd perp you've kicked into the sun this month alone! You're off the case!"
But cameos or like the P1 cast in P2 as couple NPCs would be fine.

P4 takes place, what like 2 years after p3 right? And Yukiko (if you use FemMC) has short hair and then in p4 she has much longer hair. So, yeah I'd believe it more if it was 2 years.
I pretty much have Chie's hair, except black. ;p
Why would you want P5 about two of the worst characters in the franchise?

Let me tell you all about these miraculous things called hair extensions.
I don't think it was a manga, just a few bits of artwork for the novel.
No it got a manga adaptation. Although it'd have to be significantly different to redeem that piece of trash.
but it has a male-robot, i thought you guys like that
Sounds more like you shouldn't, based on the impressions we've had. Sophia will tell you.
Oh, it's totally gonna be a new cast.
JUNES. GENKI. GIRL. ROBOT.
And yes, the novel is pretty bad.
Between the random Naoto fanservice (THANKS FLUX), the ripping off other fictional works, the robots being EVERYWHERE, the contradicting of Persona 3.... It's bad.

what makes her different from aigis.
Aigis is awesome. She's an annoying little shit who serves no purpose in the plot other than to be robot mascot for Junes.

Agreed, it is pretty awful when they shoehorn robots into things for no damn reason at all.
You could argue people are tired of the robot thing not only because it's been done three times, but it's gotten progressively worse. And I say this as someone who doesn't really mind Labrys.
People tend to be receptive to tropes that work well and are done with consistency. There's a pretty clear arc (descending) in quality going from Aigis to Lab to the Junes-mobile.

Persona 5 will be only robots and a token human
Not really for Aigis to Labrys. Labrys was hinted at before, and it's pretty clear they wanted to introduce her to the story by the time of FES.
Ai the "Junes" robot is just a shitty fanfiction character.
You shouldn't, it's proper crap. Complete fan service to the max.
"Oh no! Rise convinced Naoto to be in a swimsuit photo-shoot!"
"Oh no, someone walked in on Naoto in the shower!"
That kind of thing. It is rather pathetic.
I don't mind long-haired Naoto though. Soejima designed her, so she still looks good.
Pretty much. The portrayal of the robots has gotten progressively sillier too.
Looks like it's only up to chapter 4, which is why it's not published in a volume yet.
If it's "non-canon" I'm okay with it being contradicting and stuff. I like Naoto, I'd like to read her adventures if it's all in good fun.
Sound like anime. I like anime.
And long haired Naoto is really nice.

That image is right up there with grumpy Labrys.But what's wrong with a robot mascot?

Don't forget hot springs!
Pretty sure the light-novel and the manga are the same thing, right?
Light novels are just manga-illustrated novels.

This does not sound too far removed from events that occur in P4.
It takes place at a school for robot girls, of which the main character is the only human in attendance. He also works as the manager of the school's bathhouse (the robot girls have to use the bathhouse because of science). Wacky hijinks ensue and P5 is praised as one of the most groundbreaking JRPGs ever, full of deep characters and symbolism.
Persona 5 will actually be the opposite of Persona 4, so it will mainly deal with betrayal, rejection, isolation and the ultimate message will be that sometimes the truth is better left unknown.
Also, everyone dies in the end.
Oh, really? I didn't realize that. They really should put FES on Vita so I can play it through and properly.
Should've gone for Yukiko
No, they're not the same thing. Light novels are basically just short novels/pulp fiction more or less. There's usually only three or four illustrations total.
It's hinted at several times (Metis is based off Labrys's appearence) and Labrys is outright mentioned in the drama CDs.
Well then... I don't think there's a Naoto manga? What Sophia is talking about is the light novel, Persona x Detective.
I think.
The novel got adapted into manga. Seems like its still going.

Do they... drown in the hot springs when they reach rank 10 for their S. Links...?

do we get a robot dog team mate?
The goal of Social Links in P5 is actually to make others hate you as much as possible.
So yeah, maybe they each commit suicide due to self-hatred as a result of reaching rank 10.
