It will be on ps3 for sure, no doubt about it, but the only thing that's up in the air is will it be on Vita as well with cross save. Persona 4 Golden has already sold 420k retail only (probably well over 500k with digital) which is half of the original which had an install base 40 times larger. Besides Persona games aren't very graphic heavy so porting it to Vita won't be much of a hassle.

On another note, I would cry if Persona 5 came to 3DS only. I have one so it wouldn't be the end of the world but I would feel like they would have to make too many compromises (Persona 3 Portable) that it would make the series take a step back.

 


Honestly I wouldn't even play it on the 3ds. I'd wait for them to realize their mistake. So they’ll port it to ps platforms. But really, I don’t think we have to worry about 3ds exclusivity. They know the platforms their games sale on.

 

Even though it would probably kill me I wouldn't buy it first day but if it looked like it was never going to come out on PS3 or Vita then I'd have to buy it. To be honest I have an feeling it could even be Vita exclusive. If a remake sold that well imagine how good a full blown new entry to the series would sell... it would definitely push some Vita's.

edit : i could see it on the 3ds  ps3 or wiiu im leaning towards the either the 3ds or wiiu since atlus is working with nintendo for  shin megami tensei x fire embel or a ps3 wiiu realses

I thought about that too. P4G has done pretty damn well on the Vita, even with the handheld struggling. Many people, such as myself, got the Vita for that game most of all (I got one at launch but P4G and Gravity Rush sold it in my mind). So a Vita version of the next entry is definitely in. Yet I think they might stick to the formula they currently have. Have it on console first, then a few years later release on handheld with more content to double dip.

Personally I wouldn't mind that, but if it were to release at the same time and the Vita version is at least somekind of different(maybe tell parallel stories like P2 or ACIII and Liberations) I will buy both versions Day MF'in ONE!!!

P5 appearing on anything below the power of Vita would be beyond infurriating. I despise the combat of the DS/3DS SMT games with that 1st person Dragon Quest Bullshit. Drives me up the wall just looking at it.I could tolerate P1,2, and 3 Portable but not by much with what they did to the dungeon crawling. No, console or damn near console style(Vita) is most ideal.

If anything it will be on ps3 and vita. Maybe with some cross control options.


That would make me so happy :)

What direction do you see the story going?

Persona 3's surrounded around humanity's apathy and obsession with their own destruction. Persona 4 tapped into questions about how information is abundant and creates a pseudo nihilistic culture surrounding it, also about our mortal dread of obtaining the truth we pine for.

I think they will for sure go for a even more complex ideal. With Cathrine hinting they want to take the series to a more adult themed world, I think it is likely. One possible facet could be as an adult you are forced to give up many things that would make you happy in order to take on adult responsibility, it could lead into how we are all being manipulated like puppets for some unknown purpose and in the end what does it all mean.


It's hard for me to stay, but i loved the cast of 4 so much that i would love to see them in their adult years. Called back once again to enter the TV world, but maybe instead of inda it could take place is tokyo.Maybe Nanako is old enought to posses the powers of persona and she could join in on the quest. Nanako! I nearly cried when i got the bad ending. lol.

 It would be cool to get video calls on your vita while playing cross controll with ps3/4.  


I am almost positive that P5 will have a "hook" mechanic like the last two. P3, The Evoker Gun. P4 is the TV. My bet for P5? Either internet Social Media, or Cell Phones. I think they like tapping into relavent material that allows to better relate.

I would also love if P4 cast came back, but I think the series is better suited with reinventing each game. They always throw a wink at the previous game tho which is cool. Maybe we could get a P4-2 0_o?!

I would really like to see older characters, the teenage thing is just a tad played out. Maybe College level? Some Otaku say that that is highly unlikely because the Japanese take College far more seriously and thy dont have any fun during that time period apparently. I call bull, but lets say that is true. Cathrine took place in the US! I think that could be a hint that they can/will depict a Western based storyline.

 


Entering the internet would be a pretty good hook. And it would be limitless. I remember an anime from a while back that went along those lines, Where they would kill them self’s to enter the ''Wire" something like that. I forgot what it was called. It could go along those lines.  

They have to go adult this time, no matter what they do with the cast. Maybe they could skip the collage years all together and working it characters in their late 20’s.  Much like they did with Catharine. Plus they don’t have to stay to the school theme and would open a lot more possibilities. But how they would handle earning knowledge and popularity, I don’t know.

I can hold out. It's not a big deal. I wouldn't want the game to take steps backward for the limitations of the 3ds. Like Persona portable 3. I couldn't get into it. They had to cut too much out to make it fit the platform.

its not really a thing of console loyalty or anything, its more so due to the comprimises that would need to be done just to get it on the console. Similar to what had happened to the PSP remakes and how the current 3DS ones are. No cutscenes, lots of still character art shots, and that battle system style I despise. Remember, these are pretty big games.

I also believe in it being on consoles first then moving it to Vita. I see it for sure coming to the Ps3, probably next year with an official unveiling this fall. If it comes out on Vita and Ps3 however, I would probably get the Vita version, that is if its the exact same, nothing downgraded or anything. I could also see the game going to the Xbox 360, but that is just speculation based on Catherine also being on the 360. I would be upset if it was Nintendo exclusive however, especially the 3ds because the series would take a step back because of the limitations of the system. If it was Vita exclusive that would be excellent since gamers in Japan have been leaning towards handhelds more than home consoles.

In the case of story, I remember looking at the "fan" music channel AtlusXP5, and the main video is about ego and how it defines people. I think that the next game could focus on ego this time around because it was a really interesting topic and the video was pretty good.

I still want the basis to be in Japan, maybe living in an apartment in downtown Tokyo in maybe their adult years, 20-25 and finishing up College. I hope that instead of the traditional 1 year cycle, that maybe they can make the game span for 2 years, considering blu-rays have much more space than the dvds that the ps2 had. The internet scenario is pretty interesting though as you guys have brought up because Soul Hackers is kind of like that and the story is really interesting.

Edit: Someone mentioned the Wii U and SMTxFE on a reason why Persona 5 would go to that system. I really do not believe that has an influence at all, because if you look at the trailer for the game, there are zero Persona characters in it. Its all SMT main series characters. Which leads me to believe that Atlus is going to keep the Persona franchise exclusive to the Playstation systems while other SMT games are going to stay with Nintendo, even though they could sell better on Playstation hardware lol.

.Hack?

Remember the Social Link concept was something new they added. I would hate for them to get rid of that, I think that is actually the most unique and interesting part that seperates it from all the others. That doesn't have to change, because networking and creating social ties never stops in life, unless you are a hermit(get it? lol i kid). Now the Stats Wheel is another thing. The MC would have to be somekind of social retard who knows nothing about interacting with people so he can have some way of learning and evolving as the game goes on.

Which brings another question...

How do they out do P4's Main Character?! That guy had so much swag for a silent protaganist, it was astounding. And he felt very distinct from P3 MC too.

I think it speaks volumes about the Vita's user base, we buy games. Not even counting digital sales which are very prevalent on Vita its tie ratio is higher than 3DS (not by much but adding on digital sales it would be much higher).

PS3 and Vita are the best options for releasing Persona 5.
