Persona 5 Wish List: How Atlus Can Make it Right

Gamervision's Sarah writes an editorial on how she thinks Atlus should make Persona 5: "This likely will not be the case for Persona 5, however. Since the release of Persona 4, there has been speculation about Persona 5 being made for a next-gen system, with more fuel being added to the fire yesterday when it was revealed that Atlus is hiring 360 and PS3 programmers. I have wondered what Persona 5 would be like since I beat Persona 4, but these recent developments (along with playing through Persona 3 a second time) have really made me think about what I would like to see in the next installment of the series. From the aggregate review scores of Persona 4, it's obvious that the developers are doing a fantastic job, but that won't stop me from creating my own Persona 5 wish list (with some help from Paul, Gamervision's other Persona junkie)."

persona 5 should be available both to wii and ps3.

Honestly, I'd rather have it on 360 and PS3. PS3 exclusive preferred, since I really want Persona to have that in-game clear anime-type graphics, and I think the PS3 would be able to do it. Then again, P3 portable is coming to the PSP, so Atlus really isn't concerned much with the graphics part, which is cool and all since Persona gameplay is just amazing. It would be nice to see cool HD graphics that only the PS3 can handle though

P4 remastered with trophies and p5 ps3 exclusive get the use of the full 50gb blu ray. The stuff of dreams

[zootang]

Yes please! I'm not going to get my hopes up though, I've been let down so much this generation

I'd like to see it on PS3 first (since the series has always been there) then ported to other systems. Also, XBLA and PSN all the other ones. :)

PS3 exclusive please.. with the backing of sony and quality product.

I've always liked the series, but to see it in HD would be awesome, truly awesome!

I really liked Persona 4, but I have to agree with the author – there are a couple of things that could use improvement.

The first thing is the relationships. I loved seeing how they developed over time, but once you maxed out a relationship, especially early in the game, there was no reason to reconnect with that character.

It'd be interesting to see how the relationships, especially the girlfriend one, would affect the group. In Persona 4 you can sleep around with no repercussions – it'd be interesting to have the option to break up with someone and having to deal with the fallout.

The dungeons, even though they were thematically cool, were a bit bland. It'd be nice to have more story-driven points on the path to the boss.

But honestly, no matter what Atlus does, I'm ready for Persona 5.

I kinda wish they'd implement some type of cell-phone system, where you could call your social links and meet up rather than running around town looking for them. It would also be helpful on weekends/holidays so you aren't stuck wasting a day with no one to meet.

I hope they get to work on a 5 soon though.

Yes!
