I'm not sure the calendar system is over-used. I've been saying since immediately after I finished Persona 4 that I felt like that day-to-day format could be done really well one more time (especially now if they provide both a male and female character path right from the start) before it's time to move on to something else. If you think about the history of the series -- three games and then a reboot seems reasonable.
I'm hoping for same format with male and female character paths and fully-voiced S.links.
But who knows, maybe this'll be a complete overhaul. I kind've hope not, though, I'm personally not done with the format and would like to see one more game like P3/4
I feel the same way. Having dedicated over 100 hours to both Persona 3 and 4, I would expect the concept to be dull by now. I still love it, and I would absolutely love to see them use the 3/4 formula one more time before radical change with Persona 6. Of course, I've only played 3 and 4, and it's hard to imagine Persona without the calendar elements.
As you said, it's essential that we be given male and female paths with fully voiced S. Links. Though I'll only ever play through one path way, I think we will all feel cheated if they reserve a female lead for a PS Vita game or something. As for the voices, it's acceptable not to have them in a PS2 game, but for the first next-gen installment of this blossoming franchise, it's essential.
As for a release date, I doubt it will be early 2013 as some have said. Building an engine is a time consuming process. I'm very excited that they're doing this, it should mean a better game, but it also means a long wait. My guess is Q4 2013 is the earliest possible release window for the game.
I hope we get some more info at TGS this year.
EDIT: WAIT A SECOND THIS THREAD IS OLD.
I feel so dumb.
