So instead of going into our highschool tower or into a TV at our local department store, are we going to draw ourselves into the chalkboard?

 

[Arizato]

- There will be more information for P5, at the start of next year.

So what happened? I've seen no info at all this year.

 

[Cryingmoose]

I wish it was coming out on the Vita also

I do not know honestly. You'd think that they would reveal more info about the game seeing as how it releases this year.

 

[Chaosruler]

Are they teasing us? if they are, they are doing hell of a good job

We will get Persona 5 Platinum. TRUST IN ATLUS.

New interview.

 

[weavile001]

Regarding what kind of game Persona 5 will be when it is released, Hashino says that people that have played Persona 3 and Persona 4 should “feel right at home” with Persona 5.

New interview.

"Aimed at people that are discontent with their lives" I really like that angle.

I have never heard of this series of games before, but it seems to be wildly popular on the internet. From looking into it, it seems to be the following:

Japanese developer + high school age anime characters + story driven narrative

This seems like it would be something so dripping with "coming-of-age drama" that it would only appeal to teenage gamers, or (because of its Japanese origin) people who are exceptionally "Ugguuuuuu~"

Is this an accurate conclusion? What is the gameplay even like?

It certainly only does not just appeal to teenagers. This series is a spinoff of a rather dark JRPG series called Shin Megami Tensei. Like Shin Megami Tensei you collect demons that fight for you in battle. Persona 3 especially holds a special place in my heart. It dares to ask some great questions about life in general, like "What's our purpose?", "You only live once, make the best of it", "Why should others be happy when I cannot?".

In short: I don't think you would say that if you actually played through Persona 3.

I hope they show some images or characters of P5.....

 

[pokefloote]

It's gonna be them showing costume DLC for Dancing All Night, calling it now.

No but seriously please be Persona 5 info.

 

[MrEl]

May 2nd! Wow, I will look forward to those news about P5!

 

[MrEl]

What is exactly P4A2? Isn't it just a refined version of P4?

 

[pokefloote]

It's an actual sequel to arena. Quite a few people think of the Arena game as "just a fighting game with persona characters" but it actually continues the story from Persona 3 and 4. If you only play the new persona 4 arena ultimax, you will be missing out on some things in the story mode that happened in arena.
