I'd like to see a darker tone. I liked P4's less serious story but I want P5 to go for a more serious tone but still have the Persona Series Trademark humor. I meant in not I.

Make this in the persona franchise. And this questions been asked a thousand times already.

I would also like a darker tone, because personally P3's story had a much bigger impact than P4. But I still wouldn't mind if it was a bit light-hearted.

P3 doesn't appeal to me like P4 did, am going with that tone

I like happy games.

I liked P3 over P4...I vote for more a P3 tone. 

I vote for the P4 tone. I liked it more than P3s.

P3 had a little too much angst for my taste. The lighthearted tone and humor of P4 is definitely what I'd like to see P5 use.

Persona 4 is one of the funniest RPGs in recent memory, but it still has plenty of dark moments.  I wouldn't mind if P5 went that route as well.  Other games will cover the purely dark stuff.

A sepia tone.

I hate when everyone wants a darker tone. Jak and Daxter is a billion times better than all the other Jak games, mostly because if the humor and color of the environments. I don't find anything wrong with the fun in P4, so I want more of that.

i want P5 to make me laugh, cry, and everything in between
 
screw this "darker tone" crap

"While P3 was certainly darker in tone, not many of the events were as profound as those in P4.  The December 3rd event is about as sad and ridiculous as it gets; Persona 3 didn't have anything matching that.  All of its character deaths were minor people you don't care about.   Really, Persona 3's more macabre elements mostly stem from its setting: the Dark Hour, Tartarus, Evokers.  The death overtones don't kick into high gear until later in the game, in the last few months.
 
I dunno, I guess the tone obviously isn't all there is to it.  Frankly, I don't care, because the tone of P3 didn't bother me.  I feel like some of the character development is misinterpreted as angsty or emo; while I certainly didn't care for it, I didn't find it exaggerated to that point.  I mean, shoot; if someone you know dies, that's a big deal.  Persona 4 was able to mix some very profound events into its funtime vibe, though.  So maybe I'd prefer that. "

I want a game with a similar tone to Persona 3.
That game knew how to balance the serious and lighter moments.

id like a darker tone like persona 3

P4 Tone but I don't want the same characters and jokes rehashed. 

" i want P5 to make me laugh, cry, and everything in between  screw this "darker tone" crap "

A rock and roll vibe with a bit of darker tone that is good and not depressing.

It's The Wizard of Oz, but Toto is a cat named Jeffery and the Tin Man is made of aluminum.

Adult protagonists? In a JRPG? MADNESS!  But I do agree with that actually, it would certainly spruce up the tired formula like the Persona franchise is well known for. And if anyone could pull it off it would be them. "

the game should take place somewhere else than Japan. "

P4 had the better tone I think.

" i would like it if persona 5 had a similer tone as P4 because i went back and played some of P3 agian and it just felt like it was trying to hard to be dark with the blood on the floor of dungons and people turning into coffins also i like the ruarl setting a lot more than the tokyo big city setting because i dont think we see that very often ( at least i havent ) but i do think it would intresting if you was a collage student instead of a high school student "

I think P5 should be a WWII shooter/dating sim starring the voice talents of Kanye West and Taylor Swift.
 
Also, lots of watermelon.

If there would be any significant change to the formula, I think that the game should take place somewhere else than Japan. "

I want the same tone I get when I watch the teletubbies.

A humouros tone because I wont play but will just watch jeff and vinny play and I dont really want a dark tone because commentary from those two will ruin that a bit.

I would very much like to see them return to a similar tone as in P3. P4 was great and all, but at times it was just too happy to bear. (Pun intended) The battle theme made me want to rip my speakers apart and strap pillows to my ears at times. The rest of the music is awesome, though. Anyway, I'm getting off topic... So yeah, darker, please. P3's mood was awesome. Observe:
 
 

Yeah, it's weird as fuck and unplayable for me.
 
Persona 4 was perfect ok donezo

As long as it's on the PS3, I don't really care: both P3 and P4 were awesome in their own way, so I'm sure Atlus is capable with any kind of tone, light or dark or anything in between.

I want one with the look of Persona 3 with the music of Persona 4.
 
Edit: Also, no time constraints.

I think I would like a more serious tone.
 
Though that doesn't mean it shouldn't have any humor.

NOT HIGH SCHOOL!
 
I'm done living through high school years again and again. 
 
Reminds me of my uniform wearing middle school and high school years, with annoying HR teachers that order you around.  
 
Once or twice, fine... Reminding me a third time? No effin thanks.

" @FluxWaveZ: Persona 2: EP is not about high schoolers. I mean, some are still in there and you still visit a high school, but it has its reasons for doing so. "
