I have a feeling that if more people say the Persona series then SE will make FF 16 go down the Persona path. Epsically if the FF XV sales are poor compared to past Final Fantasies and the fanbase hates it.

Either way, 2016 will be a great year for gaming.
I like the images that are being produced out of this.
Don't care about XV and never played a Persona game so I'm pretty neutral.
I find it extremely hard to believe FFXV will be out by summer but anything is possible I suppose.
Oh and I have no interest in Persona, so FFXV for me.
I like Kung-Fu.
This whole thing is funny because I remember this whole discussion where a lot of people were like really dismissive towards Persona and that it's an obscure, irrelevant series that didn't have its FFVII moment yet. But look at this - SE is now treating P5 as a potential thread to FF smurfing XV
Probably because Persona has a strong following in Japan. MegaTen is actually a bigger franchise over there than here, but I'm sure SE has noticed the series has been catching on with Westerners. Still , I almost feel like this question is geared towards Japan than abroad.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Hasn't Persona fans also been waiting a decade for P5? Since P4 came out in 2008?
I'm amused.
We got a lot of stuff in the meantime though, including Persona Q, the Arena games, Dancing All Night, portable remakes of all the games. Plus, it's not like it was announced seven years ago. That and the fans just don't seem to take the wait so personally
It also helps that fans are aware that Atlus is a small company. The number of staff that has been working on P5 is probably about the same size as the one that worked on the 16-bit era of FFs. So about 20 or so people. Whereas FFXV has a staff probably ranging over 100 if other sources are to be believed, so it's actually reasonable for P5 to be a long wait. Hell the staff even said Catherine was created partly to get the team familiarized with new tech trends with developing for the PS3 for the sole purpose of making P5 later.

-Marathon Persona in the meantime-

-Forgot to ask for P3 for Christmas-

WAAAAAAAAAAH!
So, we'd get a Final Fantasy game with turn based combat, character development, and a well written story?
EVERYONE GO SAY YOU'LL GET PERSONA 5 FIRST!
Oh man. I'm so pumped up for Persona 5. I'm digging the red/black scheme so hard! Unf! So hot.
I'll pick up FF after I sink about 80+ hours in to P5.
Some Text Here.
I'll break down my thought process for anyone interested:
- In the last ten years we've had some great Persona games (Persona 3, Persona 4, Persona 4 Arena, I've heard Persona Q is good but have yet to play it).
- In the last ten years Squenix have given us Final Fantasy XII, and a disturbing number of steaming pieces of trout. Like, the only enjoyable games they've made are Bravely Default which I've barely played, and Theatrhythm which isn't really comparable to a next-gen FF title. I literally can't think of anything that's come from them out of Japan that is even interesting to me and FFXV is being made by some of my least favourite people in the company.
So obviously, I will be running straight out to pick up my copy of FFXV.
