Clearer shots of what appear to be major train stations at each of the city districts in the updated teaser site.

They're clearly actually making six different Persona games next, with the protagonist coming in via each station.

Still, why is my soulmate a train station?

E2: Then another recap of P3 using P3P

E3: Another P3P recap, but it appears to be the last character.

Persona 5 is about adults, so all your social links take place on the commute to and from work. The title of the game is pronounced "Persona Go" instead of "Persona Five".

That would actually be fantastic, and I mean that totally seriously. It would be such a change of pace. Your commute is your social linking time, your workday replaces the classroom sections from 3/4, you get home from work then you have the evening to go and get utterly wasted in the bar where you social link with the barman. Basically just Catherine X Persona without the block climbing.

I really hope that they keep it to where the P4 plot concludes with Ultimax and we get a new game with new characters. I wouldn't be against there being some left over stuff to carry into Persona 5, but while I like a lot of the characters from 3/4, I do want to see some new ones.

Yeah, hopefully P5 references the previous games no more than P4 referenced 3. Fun little things like the school trip are great, but I don't want Teddie to join my party.

I think my ideal amount of referencing would be on the level of Teddie replacing Igor in the Velvet Room, Elizabeth in your party and no-one else making an appearance at all. I think that's probably a totally unrealistic expectation though, because money.

I'd be okay if in P5 you and the new characters just straight up join the shadow ops and hang out with old characters through that, but yeah it would be much better if the only connective scene is the one where officers Satonaka and Sanada arrest you

Personally I really liked the idea of an older protagonist and train concept. Maybe switch between say a cop, a Japanese businessman, and maybe a college student just to see some different perspectives of daily life from someone that isn't a high schooler. You can still get that, but it'll be in a college setting so some differences. Either that or have an older protagonist who saved the world at a younger age and is now older and coping with the fact that he's got some mystical power and trying to adjust to life, then mysterious circumstances happen. Either that or mix the cop and the older former hero thing. I think with how the personaverse works, it'd be a nice change of scenery.

There appears to be little rhyme or reason for the varying intervals between events. Wonder if there's any significance to the total number of them?

Perhaps p-ch.jp will get an update before the Midnight Channel tomorrow.

We don't know yet. I'm guessing three, because really four seems excessive, but then the first movie has a season in its name so it isn't like four movies is out of the question.
