Oh poo poo. Catherine was supposed to be in the persona universe and I'm sure one of the endings involves Katherine getting knocked up? Right?

Catherine and the Persona games are separate from each other.

You're right guys, let's keep hope alive, sorry by being an pessimistic rear end :unsmith:

Am I the only one getting P/P2 vibes from that teaser? Like it looks way more somber and serious than P3/P4, heck I can see adult protagonists in there.

Persona 4's early stuff was about people dying and the murder mystery so it's hard to say how the game will actually feel. Red and black is the Persona 2 colour palette, though.

Also, Persona 3's theme was about how everything dies so it's hard for a game to more somber than that.

The Persona 3 reveal was March 2006 in Famitsu and the game came out in July. The Persona 4 reveal was March 2008 in the same and the game also came out in July.

I guess it's possible, but that still seems rather ridiculous to announce the game 5 months from release and not have anything to show right now.

Plus the only game that got a definite release data was Persona Q, and that's dropping in June.

It's also the game I'm looking forward to most at the moment. I keep rewatching the trailer because I am weak to cheesy J-pop.

Everything about the fanmade P5 stuff was really awesome. They even made a pretty cool trailer, but i can't find it anywhere on YouTube. I really just want to see a Persona 5 like what they were setting it up as, because it seemed cool as hell. And seriously, they picked out a lot of cool and unique music that would fit pretty well.

If it's Winter 2014, that means P5 has to drop between January the 1st and March the 21st or December the 21st and December the 31st, doesn't it? So, realistically we're looking at the very tail end of December.

It could also mean January or February of 2015, Winter 2014 doesn't necessarily mean it will be out in 2014, it just means it will be out within that season. Winter 2013 this year goes into 2014, so that means it's still Winter 2013. I don't really want to get technical about season right now, but from my experience when most companies say "Winter of X year" they usually mean December of that year following into the next year, if they were this close to release then they'd probably have a release date to give us.

The person who was making all that stuff also had the idea that dialogue would kind of like Alpha Protocol, which I would freakin' love.

They probably saw other rpg games get a rhythm game (final fantasy) and decided to make one I mean sega already owns hatsune miku, so in a way it makes sense. Also the music in persona is perfectly suited for a rhythm game for sure.

Narukami looks like he has a really thug attitude in PQ. It's beautiful.

Also, P4D is a joke you'd make about a franchise selling out. Don't get my wrong, I'm totally going to buy it, and I'm totally going to love every moment of it, but drat.

I'd argue they sold out on persona a long time ago.

None of those were a Chie & Akihiko buddy cop game. That's it, Japan's back on the "Uncool List"

I'll play a dancing game though, heck I gotta use that Vita for something besides P3P and P4G.

Well that was the wrong night to take a "nap."

Persona Q looks like it'll be a fun game, but a "P3 cast is teleported halfway into P4's time, also this major thing happened that no one ever mentioned" plot is kinda pushing it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do mean P5 will be released a few months from now. It's been pointed out, but they usually do announcements only a few months before release.

I know P5 talk is dominating right now, but like I said earlier, I'm going through P4 for the first time, and I think I've found something I don't like in it: the sequences that are three or four days of slice of life stuff with no real choices available (I'm looking at you, end of summer sequence). It feels like a cutscene without anything interesting happening.

Maybe instead of highschool it's college! Ball and chain to your chair writing so many essays.

Or society at this point expecting young people to get into debt, just to get an acceptable degree, which might give them a good enough job to realistically pay off all that school and family bills right before they die. Hell, if they make every character trying to break out of their social obligations and restrictive rules by getting persona power to live life the way they want it, I'll love this game forever. Even if that makes the protagonists horrible people for abusing power to get what they want.

I'm not thinking about it too hard, because the adorable aesthetic has me distracted. It probably isn't even canon.

Probably the biggest surprise for Persona Q was Theo showing up in the cast pan-across. Since he and Elizabeth were sat with Fuuka it makes me think they'll just be support people, I would love for them to be party members. But the main thin that has me excited about PQ is seeing the two casts interact in a longform cooperative game as opposed to P4A's mind control murderfest.

Someone come up with a rap with the words "slave" "chains" "chair" "emancipation" in them, we need to figure out P5's battle theme.
