Dream Persona 5:

Just like Persona 4 Golden.
2 year calendar.
First year is final year at high school.
Second year is at college.
Supernatural things start happening in the high school town.
College year is in another part of Japan, supernatural phenomena follows protag.
Protag and his friends basically turn into the ghost busters but with shadows.
Only 4 of the protag's friends come to college with him, depending on your relationship with them.
Make new friends at college, a couple of whom are past characters.

150 hours of Persona goodness? I'm in.

Both Persona 3 and 4 are 80+ hours RPGs and only have one year. Two would be awesome, but could be pretty tiring. If they achieve Catherine level of graphics, keep the battle system in P3P (I liked 3 different physichal weaknesses) and made dungeons a little less repetitive I'll dance naked xD

I just replayed the entire crash and spyro series...I love kids games...but romancing high schoolers is something I feel is not age appropriate for myself....Im playing through PG4 now and hate doing the dating stuff....its boring...simple....and seems only like a terrible means to an end

Have you been a high school student sometime in your life? I'm in college right now, but even if it's "boring and simple" it works for me. I really love that lighthearted feeling the game has, and the characters really behave like... teenargers. And, as others have said, you can say no to every girl in the game. And nothing happens.

Darker how? Persona 4 was thematically quite the dark game, even darker than Persona 3 imo. The 'problem' was just the aesthetics of the game.

Yes, Persona 4 was pretty dark and throws at you quite some themes that are very interesting. Everything around the TV and the Midnight Channel, the truth and that stuff. I found it one of the most solid stories in a JRPGs i've seen in a while. At the end almost every doubt I had was solved and explained.

It really depends of what one considers to be dark. Dealing with personality issues and having to learn to accept yourself the way you are sounds like a more dark (or better, "mature") theme for a game than... mortality. Very few moments in P3 strikes me as impacting or "dark" as the various playable (or not) characters facing their fears in Persona 4. Then again, maybe I am just misunderstanding what you people are referring to as dark. If you want lots of death, grim and edgy stuff, darker colors, etc, then maybe Persona 4 isn't really dark. Still, darker or not, I wouldn't want Persona 5 to have a somewhat generic theme as death (Persona 3's theem). Persona 4 explored an unique ground in video games and expanded the psychological aspect of the series and I think Persona 5 should do the same, whether this theme is considered dark or not.

By dark I do mean grim, a lack of hope or a feeling of futility. P4 really doesn't have that, it's very much a hopeful game. Both are very emotionally evocative games and deal with their subjects in a pretty mature fashion.

That said, I wouldn't want them to retread P3 or P4's themes in P5 either. Simply put, they've done those. I hope they've found something new to pique our interests.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
November 24 is my birthday.

This octopus is pleased.

I very much doubt P5 will be a retread of theming, every single Persona game so far has had its own theme and tone. Even P2EP had different tone and theming to P2IS

"Our interests", haha, come on, man. There's people talking about NOTHING before it's even announced. Safe to say there's interest.



Also, let's not kid ourselves, the audience is Japanese teenagers. We already know it will have themes of angst over identity, escapism, and fantasizing about dating the hot girls.

I see. Honestly, I don't recall feeling a lack of hope or a feeling of futility in P3, but I got your point.

Hashino did say in that Play Community interview that they have "announcements" scheduled for that day. So if P5 is announce it's not going to be the only announcement. Which means that there's no reason to freak out over Kuma being pictured on the site.

Still going to assume this is another concert tour.

EDIT: Just read about the P4U2 thing... *sigh* At least concert videos I could enjoy.

The code for sharing on twitter has 'P4U2' in it. I still feel like location tests in those cities is the most likely thing.
Click to expand...

There's a location test going on right now that started just last week.

That makes no sense, straight up. If it's anything like that, it would be the official arcade release.

I think thats it. It explains the list of towns, maybe it will be at arcades at those towns.

The code has P4U2 because the teaser site was made with copy paste from P4U2's original site reveal. It's a thing all companies do, especially for small sites like this.
They are commented.

Irregardless, this is not Persona 5 and it's most likely related to P4U2.

The dream is dead... for now...

It's just an observation, not proof of anything. Could just be leftover from being copied from another site or something. Still the list of cities really makes the most sense in terms of the arcade game. If it's already been tested (thinking about it, I knew that already) then it being the actual release date seems to make the most sense.

Edit: Beaten already by shinkansen.3000 it seems.

Ugh, I don't know. I'm also not sure what kind of story P4A sets up (haven't played it) and if that somehow leads to a P5. So I thought maybe it was about that.
Click to expand...

P4A absolutely takes the series and makes it connect, for better or for worse. I assume though that P5 will be its own thing and P4A2 will continue connecting the series.
