Four New Persona Titles Announced, Including Persona 5 - How Does it All Fit?

With four new Persona titles coming to Japan next year, what can we expect and how will they fit into the series lore? Will from VGU takes a look at each title and gives a few ideas of where each game may be going.

I have to admit it was a shame that they announced all the "spin offs" and did persona 5 last with a quick 15 second teaser.

Its like saying here is all the filler wait for people to lose interested and go "oh and guess what" "persona 5" love us again now please.

Did like the look of the 3DS game though but more interested in seeing what persona 5 is actually going to be about.

Good read this was!

Finally, a chance to play a Persona game on a console I own! This is a great day to be a fan of RPG's :)

[fooltheman]

Persona was a reason to buy another console...
It's the best RPG I played in my life.

lol four new persona games and ps vita is getting a stupid music game nice one atlus

[Protagonist]

wtf??? anyway, I´m glad i decided not to trade my PS3 towards a PS4.

[Otoshigamisama]

I'm not disappointed at the dance game, cause I know deep in my heart that persona 5 will get a vita version in the future pretty much like P4G

[kyon147]

I think the Persona 5 on Vita would be pretty cool but would much rather see a PS4 Persona over a Vita one.

[Otoshigamisama]

Well we all have different opinions, I think it would be good too and given the fact that both systems supports remote play, you can still play p5 on vita via remote play :)

[Gamesgbkiller]

They finally announced Persona 5.

I think its fine for me.

I hope this will not get delayed in EU like P4G and other games from Atlus :(

Owwwwwww how long I waited for this!

Dark red as the theme color looks nice, can't wait to see what they do with the UI this time. And yeah I can't wait for the game too, but since the only info we really have is the theme color for now... Anyway, their UIs are always greatly designed ones, so I'm even hyped for that!

[GrimWykydtron]

But why on PS3... its PS4 time i dont want to keep that old brick just because old system gets so much more games then the new one >.< oh well...

[rextraordinaire]

Since 3, Persona has always been a late cycle game. And I'd rather have the persona team completely comfortable with a technology than them trying to do something with a brand new console.

Catherine was their tech demo for ps3 (And a great game in it's own right), so I'm really confident that persona5 will be a great title.

[Whxian]

probably because

1. they started working on it b4 ps4
2. more ppl still have ps3 than 4 and will stay so for a while as not everyone buys new consoles at launch.

either way im happy that the game looks a bit darker than p4 and possbly even more than p3, cuz i'v always felt smt games are suited for that.

[shuuwai]

In addition more ps3 around the world than ps4.
They'll sell more units, the same is said for GT6 game. While other companies ignore their old system, since their moving forward with the new one and giving a big FU too people who didn't buy the new console and still using the old one.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS!?

Seriously. Damn. My life.

EDIT:

I can already tell I'm going to love the soundtrack.

[feraldrgn]

Looks like it could either revolve around school detention, or work in an office (chairs with shackles).

Shame about it only being on PS3 though, would have preferred the PS4 or Vita.
(Vita moreso, since it would guarantee more sales & be a must have for the Vita).

I suppose we could eventually be able to play it through Gaikai.

[Pridefall]

Honestly though, why bother with the Vita anymore. I try to love mine, but the constant stream of 3DS games make me feel I should just trade.
