Until Atlus is a publicly-traded company, no they are not on the map.

It's entirely possible that Persona 3 is as good a game as FFVII, but what I mean is a moment where Persona as a series "goes mainstream" the way FFVII did.

Like I said, the premise is a little strange for the political bitxenophobic as smurf USA. If I were in charge of that series' next installment, I'd work on researching ways to tell the story from a newcomer's perspective.
