The announcement is hitting in 4 daysand rumours abound - but what do you want it to be?
(You can stare at the reveal website here)

(thanks @bigjeffrey for reminding me)
There are going to be multiple announcements on Sunday, but vote for the one you want to see most. Also note that I personally believe only one of the announcements will be big (as Persona Studio is pretty small).
I can't edit the poll.

Oh man, I kinda made a poll that was difficult for me to answer.
I want P3xP4, but with a new protagonist and returning characters being on the sidelines rather than up front. Call it Persona 5, I don't care, but continue the plot convergence - I think that's really cool.
BUT - a straight up P5 would be cool too.

isn't the announcement mutiple things?
I think it's 3 things? (3 boxes on the site?)
But I've always been assuming it's going to be one big announcement and two smaller ones since Persona Studio is pretty small.
As a guide, I'd just say vote for what you want most.
Wait... why's Persona 4 Arena sequel an option?
And I want it to be multiple things, so Other.
I actually removed it from the list and put it back on arguing that a sequel to P4A could potentially be a hot collab joint. Also, it's there for the uninformed (and from my desire to see how many people - if any - would want that more than a direct franchise installment).

I want a game in which you spend the entire time murdering the cast of Sonic the Hedgehog.
I think that falls under "New IP" - but I don't know. Vote with your heart man, vote with your heart.
@selfconfessedcynic: Yes a persona game where you murder sonic characters. This is how the persona series wins me over.
All new settings, characters, and systems. Turn Persona Studio loose!
I just need Sunday to get here. That way I can temper my enthusiasm accordingly.
I want something new. I want the next Persona t have new characters, a new setting, new art assets. I am tired of Atlus re-using assets, I'm tired of the milking of existing games and characters, I want to hear and see something completely new.
part of me wants to see where they were going story wise after P4 Arena, so a P3 x P4 sequel would be great. The other part of me wants a whole new game with new cast and setting because I don't want to risk a P3 x P4 game being disappointing.

But P4A2 is already a direct sequel to P4A...
Persona 5 is my top hope. I might settle for a Persona 4 Part 2 with a mostly all new set of characters and story.
I am pretty confident base on the recent interview with the director that one of them will be persona 5.
I voted for Persona 5, but actually, I'm not sure if I want another "the villain is here because you willed it", combined with young adult issues, combined with dungeon crawling. A new IP could be really special.

If it's a Persona 5, I really really really want it to be with an adult cast - so university/college and/or people with jobs like in Catherine. Same if they do a P3xP4 or P4-2, I just don't want to play as kids anymore.
If they do that, I will die happy.
But yeah, if one of the announcements is a straight up new IP, that'd be awesome (I loved Catherine).
I just want a new Persona game. I would really prefer for it not to be a sequel to any of the other games in the Persona series, and I definitely don't want it to be some Persona 4: Golden FES bullshit like Atlus loves to pull with this series.
I just want another game, man.

Well, there've been no such things for 3 of the 5 games in the series, and Atlus only did Persona 4 Golden because there was enough public demand for it. There was no original plan for any FES-esque remake of the game according to interviews shortly after 4's initial release.
I want either Persona 5 or a Persona 4 sequel with old and new characters grown up in an University setting. That would be my dream^^
Huh, what if you're a new kid in university and have your own gang, but their are some other suspicious students (from persona 4) that you take notice of and come into contact with?
OH SHIT WHAT IF THERE ARE TWO MAIN CHARACTERS: One is your old Charlie Tunoku leading the Investigation Team and the other is the new guy with his new crew. Best of both worlds and I don't think this has ever been done before. Ok, I want THAT.
Innocent Sin is finally being localized and released for PSX! The wait is over?
There's a GAF thread with evidence that it might be P4-2 and P4-2 Golden, so a direct sequel to 4. I'd prefer a Persons 5 that is an original story, but ties in the characters of the other games heavily some 40 hours in.
Also, hoping for Arena to pop over to PS4...
A good game, mostly.
I think the closer we get to news about the future of Persona, the more I realize how little I'm interested in the franchise as a whole. I don't love Persona, like I thought I did a while back, just Persona 4. So, as much as I don't wanna hold the series back, I guess that'd mean, out of the options, I want something Persona 4 related(?)
That doesn't mean I'd be opposed to any of the other options, of course, as I've enjoyed my time with other Persona-related things, and would potentially consider buying a console to play something that that team puts out. (Again, so long as it's good)
I've always thought it'd be interesting if they kept to the linear calender formula, but skipped around more. For instance, starting out in high school, but jumping ahead to college at some point, jumping again to work life... basically, making a story that spans 10-20 years in chunks instead of 1 solid year. Of course, that would probably fall apart in practice. And making art assets for all the characters at different ages would be kinda crazy.
I'm in favor of them mixing it up somehow, but honestly, if they just made another game that played exactly like Persona 4 but with a fresh coat of paint and a new cast, I'd still be thrilled.
While I would love an updated Persona 3, I wouldn't want that to be what this big announcement is. Just based on the way they're hyping this up though, I think we can expect to see something brand new. Also, the Persona 5 domains being registered a bit back really point toward this as being Persona 5. Ideally for me, it'll be Persona 5 on PS3 and 360. A sequel to 4 wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. It would certainly capture Jeff's attention.

Not exactly the same thing, but the Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn dualogy kinda did that.
And it was cool.
