I think I'm more excited about this game than I am for Persona 5 itself, at this point.

That doesn't really make much sense either considering P4 takes place a year or two after P3. I had just assumed the "across time and space" line in the trailer met this was some weird time travel story that will probably end in a mind wipe for all of the characters. Either way, I cant wait to inject this game right into my veins.

We've had the story details for a while. It's even shown in trailer PV#2 where it shows you exactly when the game takes place in relation to the P3 and P4 timelines.

Persona Q takes place during the events of Persona 3 and Persona 4. In Persona 3, it takes place when the school festival has been cancelled. In Persona 4, it takes place during the last day of the school festival.

Persona Q takes place at the same times those games take place, and that is fact. This is why I say if the game is meant to be "canon", it will involve massive memory loss at the end or else Persona 3, Persona 4 and Persona 4 Arena will not work in terms of storyline at all.

OK. That explains a lot. I haven't been keep up with the story of this game too much. I've been trying to not spoil too much for myself.

I have the etrian odyssey 4 and untold demos downloaded on my 3ds but never tried them out. Maybe I finally should... but I probably won't.

Don't like the chibi art style and also I don't have a 3DS. I think I'll wait for the proper game on PS3.

PersonaQ? Does that mean John de Lancie is in it?

Also, why do the characters look like babies? Is that just cause it's on a Nintendo platform?

It's more the Etrian Odyssey style.

Q is Japanglish for "cute," it's a type of anime art style that makes everyone look like cute kids, similar to "super deformed."

As for them choosing that art style because the game's on a Nintendo platform. Maybe, but I doubt it. SMTIV was also a 3DS exclusive, and that game was most definitely not cutesy.
