That makes my eyes water as though I'm cutting onions and can't control it. It's beautiful live and I would have loved to see it in person! Heaven and Heartbeat!!!!
You weren't lying.

That would be correct.
Baby green is what you really want.
Agreed. P2 was red, P3 was blue, P4 was yellow. We need to mix the red and yellow to make a Light-hearted face-melting rumor-case solving persona Plot!
I wish I could afford flying all the way over there just to watch this.
It'd be worth it.

Well, we got time to waste now
I do feel kinda liberated.
Tell me about it. I can play FFXIV lag and crash free now.
This midnight one better be amazing.

What if P4A and P4A2 turn out to be P4-2 and P4-3 and we end up with P4-4?!?
Probably said, "What the fuck are you still doing here?"

Bait and switch with 4 images? I'd like to think so...
Haha, it'd be hilarious if that's exactly what she said.

Green symbolized happiness in the contact system before it was scrapped. This could be a theme of P5 if done correctly. Too much happiness and joy can lead to... trouble.
If one investigates the themes and colors surrounding the Persona series it is easy to correlate color with overall theme.
P1 didn't exactly have a color associated with it. One could argue that purple or white would be proper connections to the game. The white could symbolize newness or a blank slate, representing Mary's state in the game. The purple could symbolize the rich royal heritage behind the Snow Queen and Kandori's business. I would tend to favor white as the main story follows Mary/Maki's growth where as the side story allows Yukino to shine. Note that both events happened in some manner as in P2 Ms. Saeko references her past with the Snow Queen and Yukino.
That said, P2 has heavy tones of Red in both games. Red symbolizes anger and wrath. The red in P2:IS is generally associated with Joker's anger and the overarching theme of fire and revenge. This is also somewhat carried over into P2:EP with Tatsuya and his attempts at arson and the response from Nyarlathotep whose plans were foiled.
P3 moves on to the color of blue which is typically known for mellow behavior or sorrow or depression. Given the tones of the game this association is natural and expected.
P4 is associated with yellow, a bright color that is designed to draw interest and vibrancy. The overall nature of mystery and wonder in the game couples well with the color.
Given that the colors and tones used have been White/Purple, Red, Blue, and Yellow the next logical color choice should be Green if the color choices are homage to the previously scrapped contact system. Each representing Neutral, Anger, Fear, Interest and Joy respectively.

I just saw this in the Persona tag on tumblr so just take it as a rumor and not fact. Thought I'd share it though.
"In the japanese theaters after P3: M finishes its credits, the crowd is treated to a trailer that theyve all heard was announced, everyone is hyped
Then the announcement reveals the same initial Persona 4: Ultimax Suplex Hold(dooo)
The audience is treated to the same voice overwork, slightly disappointed because all of them have seen it already, they know that its just the same trailer with what they would assume will have the platforms of the fighting game
Then it happens
Before the trailer reaches its conclusion and the unknown, Sho is seen, same pumped up attitude, same video
But then the trailer stops-
Sho is in the same pose for a few seconds
Then he moves in the same art engine as ATLUSs previous title, Catherine, looks in the camera, grins, and hopefully (but to your own preference) gives the audience THE most Engrish- quote:
Lets Go!
The Go then has a close up typography moment, turns into a
5
(The Audience has now died from the most awesome reveal)"
Sounds kinda legit but I'd hope Sho isn't the actual MC for P5, maybe just a side character acting as a bridge from P4A2 to P5

Persona 1 is grey and Eternal Punishment is purple.

P2 EP has more red overtones than purple. Persona 1 has more white and purple. If you go by gui menu or boxart alone you miss most of the cues.
That sounds like something we've joked about even. Waaaaay too obvious to do.
Bullshit since they already said they are not using Catherine's engine. Seems like the person who made this up didn't know that.
YosemiteHam

I didn't hear the thing about them not using Catherine's engine and now that I think about it more and more, it seems pretty fake. I thought I'd just throw it out there though.
Bullshit because P3 Movie #2 was announced at the end.
Right. How did I forget.

Yousuke did something similar the previous night. He said something like "It's getting late, shouldn't you be sleeping?"
To be fair, even if it was a new engine, what's stopping them from still making something with a similar style to Catherine?

Eternal Punishment portable lets you change the menu colors to match the color motifs of every Persona game. There's grey (P1), red (IS), blue (P3), pink (P3P), yellow (P4) and purple (EP). Yes, the games aren't only one solid color and that's because they were trying to retroactively apply the color motifs to the PS1 titles.
We might get multiple announcements. In the event we do, my money is on P3 for Vita.

I'd love to hear about an SMTIV port, but this is Persona Team, so...

Persona Versus 5 and Persona Agito 5 of course.

I'm saying it's P5, Persona 3 The Platinum or whatever for Vita because of that hot new movie, and maybe some other spin off or something. Also how much time is on the clock now? That one stream I was using is down now.

Reach Out For The Truth
Is it wrong that I hope that song plays in every battle in my runthrough of P4G?
I hope this announcement is for P5 and for Sony platforms...for selfish reasons. Vita launch would be incredible!
EDIT: I never really knew the lyrics on that song until I read the vid...I was off BIG TIME

I love the Persona 4 characters so much that I really wish this was P4-2 instead of a whole new game with a new cast of characters. I'm gonna miss all my favorite P4 characters. Who knows though, maybe the new characters will be awesome. No character will replace my Chie though.
If this is a last gen only game then I'm really hoping this releases for the 360, I don't own a PS3 and I don't want to spend 200$ on a last gen console. If this is cross gen and releases for the PS4 that'd be great as I'm going to get one eventually anyways. If they release P3 Golden or whatever for the Vita and Persona 5 for the Vita, I'll double dip for a Vita gladly (My old Vita broke).

What if they split up the P3 game into separate parts just like the movie and release them episodic style? That could account for all the potential annoucements!
