Just ask Indiana Jones for help. He's an expert with fridges.
*cough*LASTGUARDIAN*cough*
The last "next Persona title" update was two months ago. I don't believe the last offiicial word on The Last Guardian was anytime that close.
Plus, I think the Persona brand got bigger than they expected. They actually used a smaller budget on P3 than they did Nocturne, but now I think they're going to spend the big bucks on P5.
Plus, none of us have heard that its director has left the company.

Catherine looks gorgeous. I would have no qualms with Persona 5 looking just like it in every way.
Also, they need to get Laura Bailey back to voice a combat-ready party member. I'd main them so hard.
Absolutely. It's not like it went into SMTIV.

Persona games usually launch really soon after the initial announcement. Wouldn't surprise me if it was unveiled in august and launched Q4 this year.
1. He quit
2. He's working on a new ip
The only reasons I can think of. If he isn't doing SMT IV....... I just doubt he's doing anything else. Maybe he's doing the non main characters persona design for P5 but I doubt it. I think he actually may be trapped in a freezer.

Kaneko still works at Atlus. Nich said so earlier this year.
It's cool though. Soejima is better anyway.
That would surprise me considering how hot a commodity the series is now. I'm expecting it to launch quite a while after it's announced similisr to SMTIV to build anticipation.
Ice cold, brother. Ice cold.
Let's be honest, nobody is going to be surprised that I said that.
I actually love Kaneko's art too though.
HD Mara will be amazing.

So what the hell is he doing then? Atlus does not have anyone else capable of making decent looking demons. The SMT IV new additions were horrible.
They need to stop playing and add in arioch. Would be amazing.
Mara in glorious 1080P 60FPS using the Catherine engine.
You're welcome.

Agreed! We poked fun at him yesterday, but he's good!

I can't say I disagree. I think his style fits the series's current tone and direction.

I agree. Isn't that the reason why he stopped doing them?
My dream scenario is a Persona 5 announcement at the Sony conference for the PS3/PS4/Vita launching in 2013 both in North America and Japan.

As long as Meguro does most of the music, I'm fine. I really hope the boss themes are more in line with P4's rather than P3's; all of 4's had really awesome, distinct personality and were among the best in their class.
Well, Kitajoh contributed a few tracks to vanilla P4 (They were proper shit). If he only does a handful in P5, I'll be fine. My concern is him contributing more. In P4G he just redid Keronin Magic over and over.
What has he done? I'd have no complaint as long as the work he gives is good. Variety is the spice of life.
EDIT- Oop. My question is already answered.
Persona 4 and I think Persona 3 weren't just Meguro.
Edit: How is Muscle Blues shit lol. It fit perfectly.
They pretty much were. There are a very small number of tracks that aren't Meguro.
As long as the music's good, I don't really care. Plus, Kitajoh arranged this, and I like it quite a bit.
Lol, then why do you think P5 will be any different? P3 and P4 already aren't all Meguro. Precedent set. Case closed.
Right...and for P5 it will likely be Meguro doing most tracks with others doing a handful.
You guys know the Junes theme was done by Ryota Kozuka, who's the composer for SMT IV?
GOOD QUESTION RON.
I think P5 is going to be a much bigger production, and a frequent complaint about the Persona games is the relatively small size of the soundtrack. Meguro can't work any harder than he already does. The only solution is to bring in other musicians. You know what musician worked on the last two Persona releases as the lead composer?
Atsushi Kitajoh.
Indeed.

Then I agree! See how much more smoothly things go when you explain yourself?

In any case, Meguro will be composing most of the tracks, that should be pretty obvious. The others should be doing arranges or some new compositions but not the bulk. But it's not like Meguro is the only good composer Atlus has. P5's soundtrack should be fine.
Yes. He's also doing the soundtrack for the P3 movie.

there are only like five songs in p5 when you start playing, but more are available via dlc

If Kitajoh does his own thing, he's actually really good. My concern is that when he tries to emulate an existing sound it turns out really uninteresting.
I mean listen to this. Mega yuck.
He did all of it. He's also doing the P3 movie, he did like five tracks for Arena and five tracks for Golden. He's not just been working on P5 since Catherine.
The 'JRPG front' on consoles bums me out, speaking of HD Mara. I know it's not the most profitable but you're basically fucked if you want to see any JRPG in HD. Ni No Kuni on consoles reminded me that I could really like a JRPG on a non-handheld.
And I don't much care for Tales, so it's kind of like, 'well, what's left?' Remasters from Square and those weird anime rpgs with no towns and all moe girls.

How about you let Toshiko Tasaki handle that ish?

The Youtube decription only mentions Meguro and Hirata. Is it wrong?
Also, if Kitajoh did this, then all of his additions weren't subpar.

I hear nothing wrong there.
As far as I'm concerned, the only truly bad song in the Persona series is Deep Breath Deep Breath because it starts so well but then gets annoyingly screechy and way too repetitive. Master of Tartarus could also stand to be better, but it's up against the incredible Danger Zone so it gets a pass.

Yeah, the description is wrong.
And that track you posted is proper Kitajoh, and a good example of what his own sound is like. It's excellent.

No kidding. Anyone who could come up with the Junes theme is a genius.
And I like that song. :/
I think Deep Breath worked in the context of its dungeon, but the Reincarnation version is so much better (though it has a different atmosphere to it).
Does he even still work at Atlus?
That was Ryota Koduka.
Kitajoh did this amazing song that we all know though.
He's at his best when he's doing violins and pianos.

Original. The Reincarnation version is much more chill and less wailing.
