Atlus is working hard on the next Persona

Persona 2 is even more jarring because of it.
I'm with you, except with the age range. Not old enough. It should be age 70 - 85, living in a small apartment complex that operates as a retirement home. The rest can be exactly as you described above. When they go into the demon world everyone changes into their desired age; 5, 12, 16, anything. The entire game is centered around these characters coming to terms with their mortality and why they yearn for particular age groups that they transform into when they go into the alternate reality. This setup has the potential for amazing storytelling, if done right.
Wooo! I'm down for this too! Sounds too bold for a big console rpg, but I love that premise.
YESSSSSS.....love Persona.
Hopefully this one is on the ps3 and instead of the school setting its set in university.
I know this is fake but I love these character designs:
I love this darker theme. Persona 5 better be more dark like Persona 3, don't get me wrong P4 was enjoyable but the I felt the P3's story was better.
That girl in the second pic looks like the chick from Egro Proxy, lol.
Which reminds me, I wouldn't mind a sort of sci-fi feel to P5's world, could be cool if done right. Sort of a Psycho Pass and Ergo Proxy vibe, mixed with that Persona edge/charm. Would be cool.
I don't care too much about the ages and what not, but it would be cool if instead of high school it was college, or them working for some really big ass company (workplace setting).

Its not gonna be on the 3DS, no Persona ever came out on a Nintendo platform.
The question is whether its on the PS3 or 4 and whether the Vita is getting a day 1 port or wait until it gets its own P5G.

Best case scenario would be ps3/ps4 and the updated version going to Vita.
EDIT: lol guys your right. Best case scenario would be P5 on everything

Best case would be simultaneous X360/PS3/PS4/PSV release
But i doubt Atlus would pass a chance to milk the title twice.

Why did you conveniently leave out all of the Nintendo consoles here?
The BEST scenario would be a 360 / PS3 / PS4 / PSV / Wii U / 3DS / PC release extravaganza!
Just like Monster Hunter prior to MH3, and no Final Fantasy ever came out on a Sony platform prior to FFVII. Not saying it's going to happen, but that line of reasoning is flawed.
Aw hell no. Persona is basically my last hope for a great stationary JRPG.
The hell?
So many horrible opinions and wishes itt.

No Shin Megami Tensei game came out on a Sony platform prior to 2002! No Devil Summoner game came out on a Sony platform before 1999!
Best scenario would be one platform so it actually comes out this decade

I think that it'll be PS3/360 or PS3 exclusive. They aren't going to put it on every platform under the sun. They just don't have the resources for that. The Vita will probably be left out simply so that they can release an upgraded version of it a year or so down the line like they've done with previous releases. Nippon Ichi also does that with the Disgaea games.

Those games are not from Atlus. Even when the Wii/DS/3DS sold much more than Sony platforms they didn't get a single Persona game/port. 3DS is getting SMT4 and I think the next Persona game is reserved for Sony platforms once again.
Don't worry guys, Persona 5 might take years but it seems Acquire is making their own Persona.
In both of those cases the companies involved didn't release iterations on the competing platforms first. Capcom didn't release Monster Hunter anything on PS3 before MHTri. Squaresoft didn't release anything Final Fantasy on N64. Atlus has released a Persona game on both PS3, and Vita.

Because noone cares about Wii U and 3DS is much weaker than anything else on that list.

I agree this particular argument in itself doesn't guarantee anything.
The best indication it's coming to a Playstation platform is the Persona (re)releases of these past few years:
2009: Persona and Persona 3 Portable on PSP
2011: Persona 2 IS on PSP
2012: Persona 2 EP on PSP, Persona 4 Golden on Vita and Persona 4 Arena on PS3 (and 360)
It doesn't mean it couldn't come to other systems (360 in the west?) but a Playstation platform is all but guaranteed.
As much as it sucks that Persona hasn't made an appearance this gen, I'd be kind of upset if they announce it as a PS3/360 title at this point. We probably won't see it until 2014 at the earliest anyway. Vita or the new boxes, hopefully.. don't really want another late gen swan song to be swept under the rug (but if that's what they're offering, I'll still take it).
No I was just pointing out that he missed one, its not one I'm particularly interested in or expect to see it announced for.

Persona 4 is by far the most popular game in the series and it was released in 2008 on the PS2. So it wouldn't get swept under the rug. It's also unrealistic to expect a small company like Atlus to ignore the current-gen install base for next-gen consoles.

I've come to realize that not thinking about it at all makes life easier.
DAMN IT ATLUS SHOW US SOMETHING PLEASE!
It won't get ignored here, but I still want it to be as big of a deal as possible. P4 was a slow burn sales wise, if I remember correctly. It's just a weird production timeline for a flagship series, releasing entries on platforms right as they are being put out to pasture. As a second wave next gen title, P5 would be a system seller for me.
Was hoping for actual news. Now I'm sad.
This is pretty unfair to say to be honest. Catherine only came out two years ago. It's far from vaporware.

I want the Vita to succeed. Persona is a system seller in Japan. Those guys would flock in droves to get a new installment, no matter the system it's on.
HA.
No it isn't, and no they don't.
Vita exclusivity would hammer their potential sales.
Yesterday i finished persona 4 the golden
Am i the only one thinking that the next persona will be open world ala gta? A little city(nowhere near the dimensions of gta's cities and clones) with no more separated locations but with "teleport" function still available.
Imo persona 5 will be for ps3 and sometime later will come out the better version for vita.

People called Romanes they go the house?
Well, good to know they're still working hard on it, I guess?
2015 release date at this rate, lol.

Of course it is system seller.
Just buy it on the platform they'll release and deal with it.
Ps.: It'll PS3/PS4(X360 on west) or PSV.
I guess I need to pick up Wii-U
? Why?

If a mere port with a few added bells and whistles like Golden can shift 137.000 units in its first week, then a new mainline installment could do wonders, especially now with the price cut in effect.

Unless sony paid them I really don't see why atlus would do it. The fanbase is simply too limited for them to justify it.
Also golden is considered pretty high profile for a vita release, which should say something about the vita.

Atlus/Index has no reason whatsoever to hinder their potential sales like that. Why would they release their next numbered release on new console that isn't doing well (Vita) rather than a system with an already established fanbase (PS3). It makes no sense business-wise. Atlus/Index have no obligation to make the Vita sell well.

PS3/360 is my guess. 3DS gets a Persona spinoff. Vita/Wii U get jack shit.
This doesn't really prove anything. None of those games are by the Persona Team.
