Well, I don't think it would be a waste of money. More choices make the game better. And having a voiced main character is not that much more of an expense. I just wanna hear my dang dialogue choices. No more silent heroes.
And I disagree about choosing a gender being a waste. I wanna play as my own gender dangit. Picking waifus is fine but it's more fun to date boys.
WE BEEN UP A LONG TIME FOR THIS ****. IM TALKING WE AINT HIT WORK, WE AINT HIT THE GYM, WE AINT EVEN HIT OUR WAIFUS BRAH BECAUSE WE WAITING FOR THAT PERSONA 5. SOME GOT FAT AND GAINED POUNDS BECAUSE WE WAITIN.

I would not expect they'll include both male and female player options in the first release. It would not surprise me if that option did appear in Persona 5 FES or Persona 5 Vita-port though.

Do these "P5 on 3DS" people not know that Catherine (PS3/360) is their best selling game?
Start with P3 -> P4, then back track to P2 duology and P1
I doubt it, unless it's cross-gen. The PS4 hype, coupled with the console's dev-friendly architecture and its relatively scarce early lineup seems like a perfect opportunity for Atlus to attract some new fans, especially if P5 is as "different" as Hashino claimed in that one interview.

The series needs better villains in general. One of the things it can definitely improve on.
Nyarly was alright. As were most of the villains in the P2 duology, actually.
But yeah, besides P2, they've all been pretty terrible, or at best: terrible in a fun, campy way(
Adachi and Ikutski being prime examples of that
Not an option in the original release
Persona 1 and Persona 2 had amazing villains. :\
Choice of gender is not "arbitrary choice," especially if it changes the social links you can do. It's true that the number of female players is lower than the number of male players, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth it. Within the Persona fanbase itself, female players make up a larger percentage than average. Kind of like with Tales. In a game that focuses a lot on social interaction, being able to do it as your own gender and being able to pursue relationships in ways you want is definitely something that's important.

Dream on, if the game is going to come anytime soon Like 2014 , it will be PS3,360 with a chance of wiiu.ps4 and xbone port later will be more likely, not day one .
Never heard of them.
Yes but voiced main characters are still the worst thing to happen to RPG's.
I said nothing at all about voiced main characters.
I doubt it's a PS4 game, but we'll see. Devs are probably more familiar with the PS3's architecture now and I'm sure there's a much more money to be made on current-gen systems. Atlus doesn't seem like a company to hop on board with next-gen consoles quickly.
I mean, I really don't think "PS4 hype" is a valid reason. The 360 and PS3 had a lot of hype and a fairly scarce early lineup, and Atlus went straight to the PS2 for Persona 3 and Persona 4.

literally every persona game has had a voiced main character

Oh, I didn't know that was an FES addition - never played vanilla P3.
Voice acting can be great but for RPG's I really think it drags the entire narrative down.

mods have been hinting ps4 for a while now.
I don't expect gender choice, if that still mattered to them P4G probably could get it, probably not a priority now. I imagine they got some kind of feedback from p3p too.
I'd rather have voiced MC and him/her having some personality and just be another character, it could be pretty fun in social links and else where with him/her responding and reacting Shepard style

it is a waste. In Mass Effect only like what 20-30% played female?
I'm not saying not to have it but an opposite gender MC (male/female) would mean adding more dating, more dialogue, different scenes, etc.
If a big company was making this then sure throw it in. I'm just saying that ATLUS is too small to stretch that thin unless you want to get P5 in 2025.
Adding voice is a lot of work, especially in these games where the party already has tons of dialogue.
shepard is a badass space lady who kicks dudes through windows
Yup, the clues have been around for a while.
