SPOILERS: this game will feature none of the cast of P3/4 except probably Igor and maybe a cameo from an S.Link character

Igor is probably out, given his Japanese voice actor kinda died. Expect either Marie or Margaret to replace him. Probably Margaret, since Marie is a weatherlady according to the true ending of P4G.

Also I expect some sort of P4 cameo anyway, even if it's something small again. Maybe they'll pull something similar to the school trip thing again, and they go to inaba for a couple of days, for whatever reason. Realistically, it will be nothing more than a few lines of dialogue.
 
I hope we get to plan heists or something.

Isn't his hair a different color from Potter-kun? Maybe they're going for a Clark Kent/Superman kinda theme with his initial appearance.
It's probably because of the different coloring, but the hair checks out.

I'd LOVE a shy by day / psycho by night MC. That would be fucking genius.
 
Because it looks exactly like him.

Lol wut? Different eye color, different hair color and the face is barely visible because of the mask, but he looks exactly like him. OK.
It's probably him because it would be strange for them to use a character we haven't seen before, not because it looks like him.
 
I have a feeling Sho will play a role in Persona 5. I don't think he is just some throwaway character in a Persona 4 spinoff but who knows.

I thought they finally found him a new VA, but it turns out I'm wrong

maybe Philemon will be back instead
 
woooooah

Crazy Theory:

Does anyone think that these teenagers will be wearing masks and be taking a different "persona" as a way to break free from society's shackles?

I believe that's it.

"You are slave. Want emancipation?"

The "emancipation" is presumably what's found in putting on the masks; Adopting a different persona, becoming someone else.

Could just be the shading of the poster. The hair is wavy in both.

That's just Soejima art with harsh colours. The hair is just a hue of red, makes sense since the colour of this game is red.

Ah, ok. I thought his hair looked more brown than red.

They've reused voice clips in games he was in since 2010, and he wasn't in Persona Q at all.
Margaret did fusions there (and Elizabeth some too), so it's likely he's out.
 
According to Wikipedia, P3 was revealed in March 2006 and released in July 2006 while P4 was revealed in March 2008 and released in July 2008.

Is it too much to hope for a summer release after the
hopefully
proper reveal tomorrow?
 
The P5 characters probably have something akin to the shadow versions of the P4 characters.
Or maybe it's some kind of transformation, but his expression suggests a completely different personality from what we saw in the cutscene.
This could go to interesting places.

The "emancipation" is presumably what's found in putting on the masks; Adopting a different persona, becoming someone else.

So the antagonist is offering the emancipation through the masks? That's what I would think since you need to be true to yourself and not hide behind a mask, or at least that keeps in themes of previous games... but then that would counter the whole "Persona" aspect.

I dunno. I would not mind a return to Persona 2 themes/tones so long as they are done well, written well, with better characters, and better music, and basically all around better since Persona 2 is such a mess of a game.
 
That image has me so excited, I really hope we get something substantial for this. I want my HD demons.

Only Atlus could get me to wake up at 4 AM on my birthday. Fingers crossed it is not just music.
