Persona 2 didn't have it and it had the best story in the series. I like em too but it's not necessarily the best part about it.

I'm not saying it's the best part, but it's a structure that works beautifully, and I'd like it very much if they decided to exlpore it even more.

even more? I don't know what that means exactly, I don't know how they could do more than what they've already done with that concept.

They could have the social links factor into the actual story rather than being completely separate.

What will come out first? The Last Guardian, FF Versus XIII, or Persona 5?

This. This is something i'd really like. Also, they could make that other characters respond to you being in a relationship with a character. And maybe develop even further on you having a girlfriend or boyfriend.

Damn, doesn't sound like they'll be ready to show anything at TGS.

That's probably too complicated to do properly, or they'll just half ass it.

I'm not as keen on this using P3 and P4 characters again for P5 idea that y'all seem to be. I'd much rather a new location with a new set of characters. I've already spent about two hundred plus hours with the likes of Chie and Mitsuru. Bring on an entire new cast. I haven't played P4A yet though, maybe that'll change my opinion.

Thank god for some Persona 5 news, though. Still can't see us getting it until 2014, but it's nice to hear something.

In P3 and P4, you could get all the S-links maxed in 1 playthough, so you kinda had to hang out with everyone. Plus, they removed the "can't have multiple girlfriends" in p3p, cause it wasen't a good mechanic.

What I suggest with S-Links is perhaps having them lead to different endings, maybe kinda like Devil Survivor 2 did. Depending on what you max, different endings are available...? Though, unlike DS2, don't make it possible to have all endings accessible. Choices between characters must be made.

But really, I woulden't complain if they kept the same system and just made a bunch of interesting storylines. S-Links are like Visual Novel routes, so as long as those "routes" are good, I have no prob with them.

Playing through the P4A story mode made me realize how much I missed the P4 characters and the P3 characters to a lesser extent (Aigis is still cool). The story shows that some new game, maybe not Persona 5, but something will continue what happened at the end.

Yeah i think so too, but why make so many songs? Look at that channel and in one video there are date 2013.

@Skatoz: There was a topic on hear about this very channel nearly a year ago that did some digging to find they were just fan made. Of course it may all just be an elaborate ruse by Atlus to make us think that very thing.

@betterboulder: Oh I see... Thanks for info. Well lets hope 2012-2013 atlus announce something about persona 5 trailer would be fine.

@Skatoz: Here's hoping they'll show something (ANYTHING!) at this year's TGS - Tokyo Game Show. Though I'm not really holding my breath for that...

@betterboulder: I was there when that happened, I was pretty excited because the music was pretty good. Also i liked the artwork.

http://i.imgur.com/RHXXr.png great picture to show some ideas what can be used in persona 5. Also I'm looking forward to shoji meguros music.

@mutha3: Yeah I noticed that the art style it's a lot different than in other persona games(persona 3/4 to be more precisely). Its been a long time since they announced about persona 5 so I think there's has to be some leads or leaks.

I honestly want another game in the Nocturne and the Digital Devil universes.

@ProfessorK: Atlus is working on Shin Megami Tensei IV as we speak (Nocturne is SMTIII in Japan).

we won't know if it has anything to do with 3 though. Probably won't in fact

Also @ProfessorK: digital devil saga is done after 2.

I didn't say it would. Only that the next proper game in the series Nocturne is from is coming.

yeah but wanting a sequel to nocturne and wanting another mainline SMT game is a different thing

@Animasta: I know, but I really had grown attached to the characters and transformations ya know >.<

Atlus and Valve focusing on pointless bullshit as always

If they're not working on P5 right now after the multiple cliffhangers from P4:A... argh, INTERNET RAGE

SMT IV is probably closer to done than you think. Persona 5 is just getting started. Its OK.

How dare Atlus use two disparate teams to work on multiple games at once!

And how dare they release a game from their main series that hasn't hard a proper installment in forever instead of there spinoff franchise that just had a new release this month!

Woah, the whole dichotomy of Persona / main Shin Megami Tensei has a much more belligerent divide than I thought existed! Full disclosure, I've never played any of the original Shin Megami Tensei games... I guess I should get to that?

I'm not sure if it's that widespread, or just something that happens here. A lot of people around these parts only got their first exposure to anything MegaTen related through the P4 Endurance Run and have no concept of Shin Megami Tensei or its non-Persona spin-offs.

It's pretty strong on GB, but exactly because of the Endurance Run. Persona is just more popular and generally appealing, enough said. Though if I was bitter about it, I definitely wouldn't have stuck around to do all the wiki stuff I've done here. :D

Persona 5 has been teased again:

http://gematsu.com/2012/10/persona-producer-teases-persona-5

“We’re not at a point where I can say anything, but once the time comes we’ll release some information, so please stay tuned.”

But how long must we stay tuned!?

¡Ngh!

I can't wait until next year when we'll finally get a good look at the logo.
