They're starting? 2 years after Persona 4 came out, and they're STARTING? This better be an astounding follow-up.
Aaaaaaand... That's it as far as news goes.
So discuss the rest of the Persona series too I guess.
Things the game needs:
The way the turn system works should be closer to the way it is in Nocturne. I like getting my ass kicked.
There need to be personas with immunities to status effects and stuff, sort of like with the elements.
I need to be able to be a guy and date guys.
Maybe have the little social stat boosting things as minigames? Do poorly and you just get the regular boost, but do well and get an extra boost? Just so long as the minigames are fun.
Other than that: Keep doing what you're doing guys!

You have mastered the Lovers arcana. You and Jimmi-Bobbu spend the night playing Massu Effecto.
Yeah, I can't really imagine that being satisfying.

Dude, not being able to "spend a long while" with Kanji is quite possibly the biggest flaw with Persona 4.

I personally never got the vibe that Kanji was gay, merely that he was having a disconnect with the things he actually liked to do and what was required of him to like according to society.
I can see where it could be argued he was gay, especially after the bathhouse, but he really just struck me a normal teenager (who fights evil shadow creatures with a folding chair) struggling with society's norms and expectations and his own reactions to how he feels everyone might reactions to what he really likes. To me the bathhouse just represented his fear of how other might perceive him if they really new him.
IE Just like every conforming teenager ever. At the most I might say Kanji might turn out to be bisexual because of his reactions to Naota, who is arguably having the same exact problem.

I know 4 is supposed to be nothing short of amazing, but for some reason, I never picked it up when I had the time, and now I lack the time. :sweatdrop
At any rate, it's clean to the point of boring, but you know the religious wingnuts will picket it if there's so much as a manhug in there. Frankly, I'd love to see them try to portray a two-sentence text reward as Satanic and evil, but then they'd also have the entire demons and Tarot thing to work with... hmmm... I'll have to think about this more. :sweatdrop
I also thought there was a bit of sexual confusion, rather than just fear of how he was perceived, but the game does admittedly do its damnedest to convince you that no Kanji isn't actually gay. He was just my favorite character in the game and I wanted to date him dammit!

I'm sorry? I can't hear you over how awesome Persona 4 is.

They reneed to stream line the compendium or simplify it quite a bit, me thinks. Why have random move allocation to fused personas when you'll just be there redoing it until you get what you want?
And yes, Kanji is awesome.

This. This a thousand times.

Bwhaha, on earth is this word "reneed" I used? Oops.
It's going to be pretty hard to top Persona 4's cast I think, they had quite a bit of chemistry.
As the last two Persona games seem to cover current culture in Japan (Suicide, Sexuality, rural life?) I wonder what the focus will be on this time around.
College maybe? Would give the player the ability to choose what classes they attend, would have a bit older, more mature cast, and would be a different environment than the previous games. Almost certainly won't be this, but still!

By the way, new Himdasiy Persona 4 comic up (spoilers and hilarity ahoy) (http://hiimdaisy.livejournal.com/27081.html#cutid1)

That'd be a pretty good idea. There's probably a whole bunch of stuff they could do with Japanese College life.

Well it's not like there hasn't been a bunch of other SMT games in the interval. Devil Summoner 2, Devil Survivor and Strange Journey just off the top of my head.
So it's not like they've been lazy, they just gave the series a short break.
But yeah university sounds interesting. Unless they decide to not do the social link thing, then a lot more options open up. The social link system makes schools/university pretty much the only real choice. Be hard to make the system make sense with someone working full time.

Yes, this really needs to be implemented. Especially after they allowed me to do it in Devil Survivor. I don't think I can ever go back to random selection.
And they need to stick with the Loki from Persona 4, the one from 3 looked like crap.

Agree with all of these. If you want to date a guy you should have the option. And the ultimate persona it unlocks should be Mara.
The Loki from Nocturne and Persona 3 looked like Magus, I thought. I can't really complain against that.

Things I'd like to see in P5
Return of the Rumour System from P2, it has so much potential to create hilarious situations
Skill allocation from Devil Survivor
More Personae, 170-ish isn't enough xP
A change from the battle system to keep it fresh, I loved P3/4's and Nocturne's, so I wonder what they'll bring out this time.
Personally, I'd like the first analyse of an enemy to require an ability (see Nocturne), but on future lookups, it'll be like P3/4's. Alternatively, I've heard interesting things about Strange Journey's method.
