Persona 5 Teased By Director Katsura Hashino… Again

**Kuro** · 10-20-2012

Every so often, Persona series director, Katsura Hashino, happens to mention Persona 5 in an interview and then refrains from providing any further information. Today is one such day.
Speaking with science writer, Kaoru Takeuchi, about the Persona series in a Famitsu.com feature, Hashino mentions that development of the next numbered Persona game is making progress.
Keeping with old habits, however, Hashino says that he can’t reveal any more at this time, but that Atlus will release further information when the time is right, and asks that people stay tuned.
As previously reported, Hashino will be returning as the director of Persona 5, and will be joined by Shoji Meguro as composer and Shigenori Soejima as character designer. Back in late 2011, Hashino also revealed that Persona 5 uses an internal Atlus engine.

At least we know that the game is making progress. This is good!. I can't wait for more info!

I'm assuming they'll pull another persona 4 and release on ps3 after the next gen starts.
It makes sense since next gen cost will be huge and the audience will be non existent at the beginning so they might aswell make it on a familiar machine

We want Persona 5 now!

Make it happen.

A teaser trailer would be nice. We already know they've been working on it. I'm betting it'll be released for the PS3, seeing as how Catherine was their debut title for the current generation.

April 2013 we'll hear something

Please let Persona 5 become a reality. I wonder if they are doing a new theme this time. Honestly, the high-school setting is pretty much overdone.

This and a PS3 Suikoden release and I can die happy.

Really good feeling about this being a PS3 release. Late-life releases are their favorite, and the install base is huge compared to putting it on a handheld. Not to mention the fact that people are pretty starved for JRPGs right now. I've gotten better with my fanboyism over time, but I can't say I won't be very frustrated if this becomes multi-plat.
