Definitely. I mean.. what else could it be?
And Golden 2 sounds like the Vita version but probably on PS3 (maybe PS4? That would be godlike).
People will eat this up anyway. Ironic to see the spin off which have faster development cycle get caught up by the main IP that have its last game released ten years ago because of milking one title.
Atlus pls
Just move on, give us P5, or anything that isn't related to P3/P4
I feel saturated already
It really depends on how they handle it because they could always just bring in new characters that live in the P4 town, put more focus on its connection to the other Persona games, or they could just go the FES route lol.

I love Persona 4. I do.
But please don't do this. Don't ruin a good thing. Let it be good, let it be enough.

It's hit or miss really. There's a few changes, but if you like P4, go for it.
There is a lot of story stuff kind of just left open.
And I believe it was rather intentional.
Because then person 3, 4, AND 5 would be easy money

It's got some great character fanservice (the non boobly type) but it's a very anime-y anime. It also peters out pretty bad at the end.
Also by the time I finish typing this, someone will have probably posted a screenshot of a scene with two accidental Chies.
Edit: Guess I'll do it myself
I think all they ever confirmed was "The Next Persona." They never actually said 5.
Atlas had money issues over the past year.
They need to recuperate fast.
Re-using assets is a pretty obvious business move.
Persona 3 : FES/The Answer was a moderate success.
Logically, from a business perspective, repeating the same successful procedure is the way to go.

Not really confirmations. The publications just interpreted it like that for views and such.
I'm not against fan service but cut it back. Cameos are more than enough. I want a new town, a new protagonist, a new set of characters. It would just be stupid to start at social link level 1 again with a cast of characters that went to hell and back.
And it's better that way. Golden already lessened the impact of Naoto's arc. P4-2 would be as bad as Final Fantasy X-2 for the characters.
I feel like I wanted to spend more time in Inaba with the cast of Persona 4 in 2009. Then I got a fighting game sequel, then an anime, then a remake with new content, another fighting game on the way.. I think we're on pretty good terms by now.
More P4 could be great, it could be opportunistic fan service - I just want that team's next big project to be special after so much time in the oven, whatever form it ends up taking.

They reused Nocturne assets the whole PS2 gen
This is more of a fan service cash in. Make Chie show a little panty to get nerds to open their wallets.
Heheh
"expect a formal announcement at the end of this year" -dated 2010.
Well, OK, we do know it is in development in some form, but like I said, never really announced as a "thing" the way TLG was.

Castlevania: Servant of Chaos?
Final Fantasy 7?
Nintendo of America 14 iron?
Resident Evil Retribution?
SKD-5?
Sonic Anniversary?
Sonic II?
Tales of the Tempest?
Trauma Unit?
This resume is filled with odd titles, several of which don't exist or have no voice work. The resume is clearly filled with project code names and cancelled projects. There is a decent chance that is what Persona 4, Vol. 2 and Golden 2 Persona 4 are. I think people are jumping to conclusions here considering the vast array of oddities in this resume.

That was Persona 4: Golden, man. YET ANOTHER one would be like Persona 3 FES 2: Electric Boogaloo
Not as easy as milking the games that already exists.
I would probably rage if they made a Persona 4 FES because 3 FES kinda made me mad as a consumer.
Interestingly enough, that unreliability was established in the Persona community thread before this thread was even made.
No, INDEX, their parent company did. Atlus was their most profitable thing.
Persona 4: FES would be a playable epilogue where an older Nanako, tormented by her childhood trauma, investigates the TV world on her own.

What I really love about Persona 3 and 4 was the different cast of characters and their problems. So even though P4 is one of my favorite games of all time, I'd like to see a new cast of characters with different problems. So hopefully, in this new P4 game I get to play as Dojima and social link with all my cop buddies.

Golden was technically the Answer for P3.

I mean P4 is what made me a fan of Atlus. If it's a Persona 4 sequel I at least hope it's P4: The college years where the cast of the first game, except for maybe one or two, are just side characters and they're all older.
The name makes it seem like it's a sequel over a P4G port. Disappointed it's not a P5 if this is true, but it could have been worst.

Yeah, I mean, I loved P4 and its characters, and always thought that a good follow-up would be cool, but I'm more interested in seeing what Atlus would do with new characters/settings/stories.

i always think that the next time there is a thread like this i won't be amused at the suffering of people who draw wild conclusions like "i bet the awkwardly inaccurate details of this resume mean that PERSONA 5 DOESN'T EVEN EXIST OMG" from sketchy evidence
but then here we are
please never go into business

Yeah, given some of the things listed on this VA's resume, I'm not about to give this apparently months-old listing any credence.
Not for me.
They left big ass plot holes.
And I like persona world, I trust atlus. I cannot relate to how you feel at all.

A lot of these are relatively explainable. A lot of companies give weird names when VAs audition and things, though, especially for minor roles or basic NPC work.
Sonic Anniversary is probably Generations, for instance, as rumours of that game called it that before it was officially announced - and she's the voice of Rouge in that series, checking a Sonic wiki. Sonic II is probably Sonic Adventure 2, where that character first appears. She's in Crisis Core, as far as FF7 goes. Can't speak to the rest, but I'm sure many of them can similarly be explained.
Anything they announce would have been in development since well before the Atlus acquisition.
Please elaborate on the plotholes.

Take...it...back.
Guys, a few things to point out.
1. There are THREE announcements, not one
Persona 5 has been in development for a good while now. See here. Chances are very high we're getting Persona 5 no matter what. Don't forget about persona5.jp existing, or the fact that it has the same IP as the teaser site. Or the fact that another Atlus teaser explicitly says 'Persist 5'. We're getting Persona 5.
2. Persona 4 Golden Part 2 sounds like a sequel, not a rehash
There are still questions that haven't been answered. (Massive P4 Spoilers ahead)
If it's a sequel, chances are the protagonist ends up being Nanako in high school once she unlocks a Persona. Or something. It could be Narukami, or somebody else entirely different. But, you know, sequel implied. Not an implied rehash.
3. If anything's getting a rehash a year after P4G came out, it's P3
Persona 4 got it's rehash a year ago, and it was glorious. Persona 3 has no definitive version, and is getting a series of three high production value movies coming out. The announcement is immediately after the first movie airs in Japan, the following day. Will Atlus really announce a Persona 4 rehash when it's time for Persona 3 to strike while the iron's hot?
Enough kneejerk fearmongering, more reaching out to the truth, people.

What exactly are Teddie's origins, did being inside the TV World have any longlasting effects on Nanako, were Adachi's actions entirely his own(what caused his change of heart in prison?), what the hell is up with Izanami appearing at the last second with close to no build up, and so on.

As APZonerunner notes, it's unlikely that any of it is just completely made up, but in most cases the rational explanation is not "omg she leaked the secret projects that atlus is doing instead of P5 MELTDOWN MODE" but rather "these are probably some mislabeled credits for projects we already know about."

If we get one project per box, and it ended up being a P3
latnium, P4 vol.2, and P5, I would need to see a medical professional.1) No. We have zero confirmation of this at all. The annoucement you linked to is an Atlus USA announcement, not an Atlus JP one, so probably only a localisation. In fact, it could well just have been a teaser site for Conception 2. The 3 games thing is purely speculation.
2) Sure. However from reading this thread I'd take this with a massive chunk of salt, it may not be anything. This may not even be a real thing.
3) I guess, but again refer to point two, this isn't at all a confirmation of anything. We'll find out in 4 days.

Oh, I like that idea.
Like next sunday, one of them fill in and a new date for the next announcement replaces the old date?
