Unless the Wii U steps up, I highly doubt mainline Persona games would come to Nintendo.

you're 4 pages too late.
I don't think anyone should expect the series to be PlayStation forever. There are new realities, and if these Japanese companies want to make money, they'll rise to meet them. One of those realities is the dying home console market and the rising handheld market; one of the core handhelds is the 3DS, not Vita. It's a symptom of changing times.
If you're so emotionally connected to the idea it'll be PlayStation forever, at some point in the future, you're going to be disappointed
It was obvious THIS new Persona 5 would be on a PS platform, but the times are a-changin'. I consider Persona Q a nod to that fact.

i wonder if the personas are chibi styles
I think there is a difference between "persona games can be on 3DS too" and "slowly moving towards being a Nintendo platform series".

I could possibly at least see them doing rereleases of P3 and P4.
I mean they sure do love their rereleases and you could "technically" have a whole new audience giving out the money for it.
But in actuality I bet that this Persona Q thing will be what we see on 3DS. Much like how Project Mirai is Hatsune miku on 3DS.
I can somewhat agree with this. I'm not emotionally invested with the Persona series being on PlayStation platforms at all, but I still don't see any near future where Persona 6 is a 4DS exclusive or something weird like that.
In terms of main Persona games, I don't think it will ever be limited to a handheld.
I don't disagree with the former. My response, though, was specifically referring to the poster's talk about Persona 5.

Why?
It may be. It may be mobile phone exclusive. Or just multiplatform, with 4DS and Mobile Phones included.
That greatly depends on the health of the consoles, I'd wager. I don't know how much it sells in the West, but I'd submit most of the sales are Japanese in nature, and the series must follow systems that are thriving
Yep. This game is a test, after the good sales of SMT4 if this sold well I wouldn't exclude a mainline game in the future.
Yeah this. See for example the earlier mentioned MH-series. Series aren't necesarily tied to a platform.
Let me customize the characters' outfits and you got yourself a GOTY.

I expect this game to sell pretty well considering that it is "an EO style dungeon crawler" using P3&4 as the main cast. Throw in the large 3DS install base in Japan as well a we have a fair shot like you said to have a P6 in the future.
Once this is announced for NA, day one for me. I love me some dungeon crawlers and I've been waiting for Persona to finally appear on a Ninty system
I'm glad that Atlus does what Square-Enix won't.
So many 3DS RPG's from them. SMT main series, Persona, Etrian Odyssey... al I need is a Devil Survivor 3 and Atlus becomes my favourite 3DS third party publisher. Or well, Sega whatever.

Are the dungeon floors going to be randomized though?

Never say never. We have already seen mainline DQ and MH appearing in the DS/3DS
We got Etrian Odyssey: Persona Edition and Project Diva: Persona Edition.
I am okay with this.
They still need to get Devil Survivor 2 Break Record out first. So I don't know when DS3 will get made if they are even planning in it.
To add to the BlazBlue: Persona Edition we already have.
I wait for the Call of Duty: Persona Edition for the Xbone. They need to expand the market, after all.

Is just to make hardcore Persona fans mad.
Would chibi Jack Frost just be a snow ball?

Whoa
It follows the Nintendo Direct curve;
"OMG THIS SUCKS"
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO YOUR FANS ATLUS WTF"
"I WANTED A REAL GAME"
"OH YES IT'S FINALLY HERE BASED ATLUS"
*end broadcast*
Because it's
Why would the artstyle have anything to do with the platform?

Obviously I'm way more excited for P5 itself but this is nice little spinoff. Using EO as a base is a good call. I love EO.
Also, it's not like the models in the mainline Persona are realistically proportioned.
It's a stylistic choice since it's EO inspired...the idea that 3DS can't handle realistic proportioned character models is laughable.

It's blurry, but here's a battle screen from Silconera:
Looks to be set up exactly like EO. I likes.

There are a great deal more in the trailer. Including that.
I'll play it because I love eo, and I'm a god damn sucker for p3/p4 but this is such a bummer.
EDIT: I am derp.

I have nothing against chibi, but art style changes are so ugh. Anyway, I will certainly buy this game, it seems to be pretty fun. And I wouldn't call it non-canon as some people here 
They can always give an excuse for the characters not remembering each other in Arena, like losing their memories or something like that. Actually, I think the "PQ is non-canon" claim is mostly because people don't like how the game looks like.

Great, first Persona I'll like most likely (unless they add all the social crap to this one as well).
sometimes we don't even get to the final stage :/
