I'd rather not have heard about it.
The magazine shows three pieces of artwork
- A dragon facing off against several knights with the subtitle: creating new things by building off successful things from the past
- 4 people riding on a horse carrage together with a dog with the subtitle: bonds
- A young red haired elf girl and a young blonde haired boy riding on horses with the subtitle: adventure

So a PS5 game?
Why does this sound like Medieval Fantasy FFXV?
I see we've found the protagonist.

Nice! Persona 4 v2!
P5 was announced far too early and had numerous issues with its developement (like their publisher going bankrupt)
This game was announced far too early. He shouldn't take quite as long but I doubt we'll see it again for a while.
Well that should make people happy since it's for consoles. Hope it turns out well whenever we see it.

I'm not an expert but I think the first little bit was getting the engine/framework set up, and a lot of the more infamous public delays were due to some legitimate need for polish, porting the game to PS4, and all of the drama from the Index bankruptcy and Sega acquisition. So there was a lot of BTS stuff holding it back. At least, that's what I figured.

So this is still super far away after all. Oh well.

But only in Japan.
Have they even picked a platform?

Yeah, didn't Hashino comment something to the extent that there was a period of time where Persona 5 being canceled was a very real possibility due to the Index troubles?

But what about my spinoffs?
The spinoff meme is overused and I will not help stopping it :-x

Ok I laughed.
Oh yeah, 4 Heroes of Light was another "back to basics" fantasy RPG that came out a while ago, wasn't it? Was it any good?
All their teams sent out a game this year so I suspect they're all in the early phases for their next games.
#FE came out Dec last year so I except them to be the furthest in, but they could have been helping to push Persona 5 out.
It was ok, but it led to the Bravely series which had one of the best turn based battle system in JRPGs.

I liked it. Pretty quaint game.

Everything about this sounds great. Really encouraged by the info they've put out so far.
They're announcing a new studio though.
Announcing this is part of the recruiting process. And yes. It's directly stated it'll take some time, so best to put it in the back burner of your mind with Cyberpunk.
It doesn't take 9 years to slap together a mobile game.
I can't believe myself but this is something Atlus needs. They don't have a presence in that market and starting a new studio just for it fits the general MO.
As people here love to say: They're leaving money on the table by not having a mobile presence.
Anyway, interested to see if it will appeal to me or not.

I'm honestly somewhat surprised a Persona/Megaten mobile game hasn't been made yet. XD
SMT 1 came out on mobile, does that count?
There are dozens and dozens of them.

I for one never expected the female elf-knight to be the MC lol.
Let's see...
- Female
- Red hair
- Knight armor
- Elf
None of the above are red-flags on its own, but all of them combined in a single character? Feels more like a supporting character material than main protagonist vibe.

He's credited as Model Supervisor for Persona 5, so I imagine he was making sure that his designs made the transition to HD.
What better way to "challenge the traditonal genre"?

So they are just gearing up for hiring? What the hell is the point of announcing anything? I mean of course hey won't say what the platform is since by the time this releases somewhere around 2020-2021 who the hell knows any platform that will be successful.
Hell, mobile might become a desirable platform for console gamers (Nvidia Shield 4 or 5 will be out by then). Please be excited.
