What cameos? Not cast.
Tatsuya he made a cameo in P3, but only by name.
Philemon he's a key character in the series but he was only referenced but not in 3 or 4.
the P4 or P3 group.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Jul 10, 2008
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is a role-playing game developed and published by Atlus for the PlayStation 2. It is chronologically the fifth installment in the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series. Like its predecessor, its gameplay combines a traditional role-playing game with elements of a social simulation. Its critical and commercial success spawned a sizable media empire, including several spinoff titles.
Which past Persona characters would you like to see in P5?
An older Nanako, possibly involved with the main storyline. Or Akihiko! He's already in the anime, after all.
Though, a completely new cast would be preferable.
"It would be kinda cool to see an older Nanako...but also a little weird. I mean, she wouldn't be that adorable little Nanako anymore! :P She'd be like a girl with..girl parts. :S "The Proper Term is "She got Hot!"
They could do what they did in Persona 4, IE have minor characters (Social Link characters) get mini-cameos to see how they're doing rather than just Main Characters popping up. Perhaps a mention to Junes and how the Inaba branch is doing under new management or a newspaper article mentioning Sgt. Satonaka roundhouse-kicking a pursesnatcher or Risette's new single. Nothing too major, just a cameo would seem fine enough without being seemingly shoehorned in.
While obviously squeeworthy for the characters, I doubt that scenes in Gekkougan High in P4 where characters meet SEES members could come off smoothly. That's why the game takes place probably after the cast have graduated and moved on since their Spiritual Adventures have ended and they're free to move on to their Happy Endings...
Can I ask for Chihiro Fushimi from P3 and P4? Let's just keep her around for all subsequent games. Maybe at some point she becomes a teacher in one of the future Persona games.
Also, wouldn't it be cool is Nanako became a teenager and was a selectable member of the party in Persona 5 or P-whatever?
An older Nanako would be awesome. For most of the other characters, I'd say small mentions here and there, or at most, cameos, would be good.
No matter how much I like Yukiko, Kanji, Rise, and Naoto, as well as the rest of the characters, I think their main story's should stay in P4.
Assuming P5 takes place a 2-3 years after P4, the P4 group would be 20 or 21, P3 group would be 23 and 24, P2 they'd be 30 and 40's.
Um; well I asked this question in the P5 wishlist but apparently it's important enough for it's own thread?
I'd like Nanoko / one of your S.Link buddies to show up in cameo; like Daisuke becomes the P.E. teacher in whatever school or Yumi is mentioned as some kind of movie star.
I don't think any of the investigation team is suited to return in P5 because well most of them seem like they are going to be stuck in Inaba forever; cept Rise, so maybe a Risette commercial or movie poster.

I'd doubt Yosuke and Naoto (and Rise, as you said) would stay in Inaba, don't you? It doesn't really seem to fit them.
^ This." A grizzled Kanji in his 20s or 30s running an adorable textile shop with his "life partner." "
Or an older Ayane playing some avant-garde trombone recital the main character can watch to raise his Culture stats.
I wonder if I'm the only person here to max the s-link and get intimate with her? :P
It's a given that Tanaka and Igor would appear as persistent characters in the sequel. I think Rise and Nanako would briefly appear somewhere, also. There could also be references to Junes (maybe even a Junes store where you can go to) and references to Teddie (a little Teddie toy somewhere).
Well, I would assume that they will do something like what they did in Persona 4, where they had Chihiro and Mr. Edogawa appearing as well as a reference to Mitsuru.
So I would expect a minor S. Link character to appear at some point in P5, make a statement that vaguely references a member of the investigation team, and then leave.
" Unless Persona 5 is going to be in inaba, we aren't going to see most of the p4 characters, except for rise, and possibly souji. I'd like to see an older nanako too, if they can find a way to put her into p5. "P5 takes place in highschool or collage and nanako goes to that same one
that's how you fit her in easy
" @trophyhunter: If thats true then the game would take place 2020 or so. "yeah 11 years is not a huge huge amount of time
None, the games are supposed to be unrelated. I don't want to see it devolve into direct sequels or awkward cameos and whatnot. I prefer they stay seperate and unrelated.

Nanako, like the rest said. Also, cameos from both teams from P3 and P4 including the MC's would be quite cool. I assume both groups continue to work after the game ends, or at least they keep track of things even if they got over with their lives. I'd find quite satisfying, for example, including Naoto in P5 as an agent of the Investigation Team after some serious shit starts happening in the P5 storyline.
My guess is that were going to get is a poster of Rise in the P5 protagonist room. As for what I like to see, I go with Yukiko but we all know that it not going to happen.
That'd likely be a localization in-joke.
A small cameo of a minor character or a brief mention to a main character (Posters for Rise's new movie, Tatsumi-brand dolls sellin' like crazy, Inventory Item shop is now Junes with a small mention to an Inaba branch). I doubt any of them need to be shoehorned into a major role since I take it that after their game the characters have since moved on to living a normal life (or as much of one as they can).
Definitely Rise. Her being a television idol would make her easy to work in as a cameo.
Teddie is the only other one I could think of. Maybe if P5 characters were to visit Inaba for god knows what reason, an older Yukiko tending to the Amagi Inn would be kinda cool.
Excellent (and realistic) suggestions."A small cameo of a minor character or a brief mention to a main character (Posters for Rise's new movie, Tatsumi-brand dolls sellin' like crazy, Inventory Item shop is now Junes with a small mention to an Inaba branch).

Trish the fairy should also return. She ran a healing spring in P1 and P2 and was rude and foul mouthed. In retrospect, she probably wouldn't have fit in the newer games so her hiatus was probably well-chosen.
