Not really, if they just extend the time you can spend outside during the day, or at night, you could easily throw an event trigger in for an S.link.

All this talk of P5 is making me sad.
They'd best show the damn thing soon. >: (
You make it sound so easy, haha!
Post in this thread, mostly.
Yep. And it's not. It'd throw the game out of whack. The structure is waaaaay to tight. If they're loosening it up in some way, maybe. If it continues to be as rigid as P3/4, no chance. Whether the days or longer or not.
Next week in Famitsu?!
I'm half-serious.
I've been saying for months that I think it will be shown at the end of May/beginning of June.
I genuinely believe that the next two issues of Famitsu are the most likely places we'll see it for a long while.
EDIT: Following up what I said to Ron on Twitter, what does everyone want to see at E3?
Personally, I'd like Persona 5, Legacy of Kain, Uncharted (Or just a new Amy Hennig title tbh), Witcher 3 and Project Zero 5.
I get why Famitsu, I don't get not also announcing it at E3 if it's coming that soon anyway.
Let's negative thinking?

More Pokemon news, Dragon Age 3, lots of PS4 details, meltdowns on GAF, and P5.
I love his body language.
3DS and Vita games. New stuff for the current consoles. No franchises in particular, just games.
Lots of localization announcements. Sega better deliver Y5 and Protect Dive F(& f).
I really think we'll see a new Raidou game from Atlus announced soon.
As I said in the other thread, I actually think the Ys 7/Celceta style of gameplay would work really well with Raidou. Switching the allies with two demons you choose and going for a top down, fast paced action rpg.

Yeah, i mean, it's not like they created S.Link out of nothing in P3-4 portings.
As much i'd love a new Raidou (especially if it continues Raidou 2 gameplay), i doubt we are going to see one soon. The Raidou games didn't sell well iirc and Raidou 2 was 80% recycled content.
No.
Only if they cut the Haruka section!
They did two in P4G and had to massively rejig the whole structure of the game.
P3P's replaced previous links so don't count.
It wasn't even funny the first time you said it. It's not funny now. Too significant to be cut. It's like an entire chapter in Yakuza 4.
Aigis didn't require much modifications (if any?), and Adachi S.Link doesn't affect much for the first 7-8 ranks, iirc. There were plenty of days in P4, especially in NG+ were you could do nothing.
If wrpg can get away with entirely optional companions despite the ammount of change they present to the game structure, adding an NPC to games like Persona 3-4 were S.Link are pretty much locked out of the main storyline content-wise and consequence-wise isn't really a huge feat.
100% agree on the next two Famitsu's being most likely.
And yeah, new AH game would be sweet. Yesterday somebody was asking me how I'd feel about Unchsrted, but with a new character instead of Drake - somebody related to him or completely new. I love Drake, but I think it's a great idea.
I also have a theory about Naughty Dog's next game, but that's neither here nor there.
Which is, ironically, when they're most likely to cover something you care about!

Honestly, I would be really annoyed if it was as rigid and had the same battle/s.link system.I understand why it worked before, but after 5 releases of it, I'm a little bored. I'd prefer a game that allowed for the openness to accommodate things like character event DLC, and not just stupid bikini battle outfits. I'm looking for a little more from P5 than just some pretty cell shading and a copy pasta silent MC in a new town and his wacky new gang of friends.
'Funny' implies that I'm joking. And I guess what I just said to Keats was?
But it seriously will be disappointing if it comes over with the idol section both intact and unskippable, because I love all five of the Yakuza games.
Indeed. The wait for leaks on Tuesday is going to be agony, haha.
Also, I love the theory that someone had that the new AH game would be an Uncharted prequel where you play as Francis Drake. I'd be totally down with that.
Man, I think you're in for a unpleasant surprise. It sounds like you want something more open world-esque?
It will. There's no way it'll be removed.
S. Links are tied to whole suites of Persona (and in some cases, other things as well.)
It's not as trivial as a an optional party member in a BioWare game where you recruit them or you don't.
Because another game does it worse does not mean there is no room for improvement.
Ops, i missed this
Essentially (my memory is a bit hazy about the details) Growlanser IV has these things called "fubar" that are fixed events during the storyline where the player character can chill out and go out with the various characters (not necessarily females or party members).
During these fixed events you can progress their storyline, there are about 7 fubars, and you need (iirc) about 5-6 to complete a character storyline, so you can't 1) complete them early in the game and forget about it 2) you need to pay attention to these characters constantly during the game.
tl;dr they are more like "fixed" S.Link that progress during the storyline. It's a very basic system and it's just an idea, so don't think about it too much if you disagree.
Sounds like a good excuse for some good Persona DLC pack X)

That almost sounds like it'd work in the context of a Persona 2 style storyline.

Not so much that as I'm looking not to be held down SO HEAVILY by scheduling. I feel like an over scheduled 11 year old with helicopter parents every time I try to go back to 3/4. It almost feels like the game wants to play itself and I'm just level grinding and deciding which personas get fused. I'm sure there will be some holdovers from P3/4, but I'd hope that as they did last gen, there would be some innovation in the game play.

P5 better resolve the whole P3 MC issue to stop anymore speculation
I'll die of laughter if they said, "He's Back" within the first five minutes of the game.
"Kept you waiting huh?"
"Persona 3's main character returns, this time voiced by Keifer Sutherland!"

That would also work, but I meant that the text is behind a blank screen and they just show that for the first five minutes. Then the prologue begins.

At this point i want it so you people will stop bringing it up every time.
But seriously. Give up.
Because Atlus is done promoting smt4 in Japan and can now turn their focus to P5, right?
"Breaking news, Yuri Lowenthal cries about job on twitter, says he was never offered"
Play as him for first few days, then surprise switch to earring guy from P1 again.

DLC bikinis for every single Persona
Can't wait to summon Satan.
Yes please. Mara should have a little pink frilly one. King Frost can have the traditional school swimsuit.
