Margaret doesn't seem too pleased with the logo.

But...but.. I'll buy them
Success!
She's saying something to MC. It would be better if she was smiling, but she's not mad or anything.
Nonsense. They'll save it for P5:the Platinum. Or DLC, we all know how great Japan has been with that!

I feel dumb, whats this P thing again?
It's the logo for P-Studio which we assume is the new name for the Persona team. The logo was on back of P4G and Arena.
Japan =/= Atlus. You make it sound like the Persona re-releases are GOTY editions when they're director's cuts; the latter two being divorced from their original cuts by four years.
Anything could happen with P5, but they easily could have held back quite a few extras in P4G as DLC and didn't, so I don't think DLC is gonna be a popular concern going forward.
I want to go back to the city for the next game. Persona 4 is still relatively fresh in my mind so I want a nice change up from the last game.
cj started a rumor that if we all put it in our avatar, that P5 would be announced in the new Famitsu.
Next Tuesday, or this Tuesday.
This Tuesday, Jan. 15.
Yeah, that would have been a great way to inspire people to buy their game for a second time.
What are you even saying?
My point is that P4G is a dumb example. Just because Atlus chose not to nickle-and-dime consumers with a port of a 4 year old game on a fledgling handheld through DLC -- they did that through an absurdly high price-point instead -- does not mean they won't try to do DLC with a release on a established platform where DLC has proven successful in general and virtually every single JRPG has been making good money selling maid outfits.
Seeing how Atlus wasn't above adopting Arc Sys' methods for P4A(In fact, GLASSESS has to be a new low), I think chances are pretty good P5 is going to follow the rest of the JRPG market on this.

To be fair, Elizabeth looks damn good in glasses.
The JP price, of course. P4G launched at 7,329 yen retail.

That's actually cheap/on par for Vita games I think.
Not good enough to justify the bonkers price.
That was some seriously shitty business practice right there.
I'm hoping it was an Arc decision rather than an Atlus one though.

Screw traditions for the sake of tradition. Golden Sun pulled the same thing and it's awkward as hell.
Nope. The usual range is 4,500-6,000 yen. It's on par with console games, though.

If done well, it could be good. Fortunately, all of Persona's female leads so far, Maya, Aigis and P3FemC (And Tamaki if you wanna count SMT If... as Persona 0) are done well so far....Except Maya was done better as a prominent party member because that's what he was at first and going from lively and badass to silent protag is kind of sad but still, she was done well enough. The true hurdle might be the fans who are in it for the date sim waifu aspect really...
Easy. Just make sure it's a lesbian female protagonist.
I'm still quite new the the Persona series and just beat P4G last night. I still plan on going back and maxing out social links and getting the true ending but which game should I pick up next?
I was thinking of getting P3 but asking those with more experience with the series sounded like a good idea before diving back in.

YES, P3 was better than p4 imo. Just make sure you get the portable version though. It allows you to play as a optional female MC(with different social links) and it has p4 gameplay(full control over your party, the ability to guard ect.). Going from p4 to original fes is kinda a big step back so definitely make sure you pick up the portable version.
Yeah, play P3P. The other game s don't have the social link dynamic and they're closer to old school RPGs. I think P3P is one of the easiest versions of that game to pick up as well.
so I'm guessing they split R&D1 into two studios?
R&D1:
a) team maniax (SMT/Devil Summoner titles, currently working SMT4): Kaneko, Eiji Ishida, Ryota Kozuka, Doi etc...
b) p-studio (Persona titles, currently working Persona 5) Meguro, Hashino, Soejima etc...

Figured it was time to throw my hat into the P-Ring
They're getting REALLY hyped up that Famitsu thread. I'm in the same boat.

Is there a reason why everyone thinks it's going to be p5?
It's been mentioned in the magazine every so often for a few years now and we're pretty well divorced from the Japanese release of P4G.
The game fits the (admittedly vague) description and the time is right.

I am doing the smart thing and keeping my expectations in check.
Same here. I'm still excited though. The last stop on the Hype Train is almost always the Den of Disappointment, but man, it's a fun ride!
If you don't believe then the rumor won't come true. D:
One of the reasons, at least to me, is this Atlus portal-site they launched a month or two ago on Famitsu.com:
http://www.famitsu.com/sp/121012_atlus/
Its barely been updated and if P5 isn't getting announced soon, its existence would be bizarre. Also, Atlus likes to announce their games through Famitsu almost exclusively, and P5 fits the bill perfectly by being a long-awaited, not-yet-unveiled title.
That can't be right. I think Persona 4 Arena was, but Persona 3 and Persona 4? Weren't they unveiled at an anime event? At the Anime Expo, I believe.
Nope. Both were announced in Famitsu.
I stand corrected.
Man, we're trying to gather all of these pieces of information to reinforce this notion that tomorrow's announcement might be Persona 5, but deep down we know the truth.

But they might not want to risk hurting the European release of P4A.
As with nearly every game to see release, I would love a PC port. PC ports are rad because the games only look better over time!
Also, I would like a pony.
