Earlier today, we got new details from a Dengeki PlayStation magazine report on Atlus’ upcoming Persona 5, which talked about how the game will be an RPG that sends a strong message of catharsis, after overcoming trials to free yourself from your shackles. Further updates from the magazine report have now surfaced.

According to Dengeki PlayStation, the characters of Persona 5 will be living the hard lives of modern-day society, where each one of them will be restrained by something. Atlus are working on a story that can allow players to experience a new world, along with a new sense of values, together with characters who will bring out a strong sense of reality.

As previously reported, the game will take place in the series’ usual juvenile school setting, but with a different mood; however, Atlus emphasizes that although Persona 5 will have a different mood, they aim to make it into a new game that will still provide a feeling of reassurance to the fans of the series.

While Atlus’ characteristics will be present in Persona 5, another one of their goals is to have players feel passion, cry and laugh, then finally feel a sense of elation when all is said and done.

Persona 5 will be coming out winter 2014 for PlayStation 3.

I was kind a hoping they moved away from the high school setting.

Why? 

Racism 

Sexism 

Homophobia

Bullying

Peer Pressure

Example "My shadow self is racist ! I shall defeat him/her and no longer be racist, because THAT ISNT WHO REALLY I AM , PERSONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

I don’t know, after playing 4 I wanted to see what happens to the cast after high school and how their life evolves. Catherine was excellent also and that dealt with a guy in his late 20's with late 20's problems. It also makes the game more engaging when you can relate to it on and 1 to 1 level. Plus you kind a feel prevey hitting on high school chicks. Rise<3

Persona has always been about Highschool, but it would be cool to be about university or college, bigger world potential

however if you mean that student thing to go away you should play the other SMT games, Persona is always about students SMT is more adventure type.

c'mon man. lol

What if we get a new Rise? you never know remember when visited that high school in P4G?

college whould be good, after all you have all sorts of age groups in college. 

You may have to go into more detail than that. Lol. it was an 80 hour game. 

Persona arena shows that the cast broke up afterwards and you went on another highschool , but they all came back after teddie announces a tournament you should play it.
