Atlus’ recently announced Persona 5 will be filled with a hearty helping of high school angst if a recent Dengeki PlayStation report is representative of the upcoming PlayStation 3 release. The Japanese magazine claims that the hotly anticipated sequel will once again take place in a classroom, but will find its cast chained to a slew of modern-day problems. Not being able to find a PlayStation 4 in a local store is probably one of them.
According to the publication, the developer’s hoping to convey a sense of catharsis as you gradually overcome these setbacks, resulting in a slightly different vibe for the popular role-playing series. However, the studio’s eager to not isolate fans, adding that while the title will have a different mood to previous entries, there’ll still be plenty that long-term advocates will recognise. Feel free to breathe a sigh of relief, readers.
Of course, this idea of escape was evident in the title’s debut trailer, which showed five classroom chairs attached to a ball and chain. If you don’t have a figurative bone in your body, we’ll just make it clear that the shackles represent each character’s real-life problems. Our biggest issue right now is that we can’t find our copy of Rumours, and this article has made us desperate to listen to Fleetwood Mac’s late-seventies smash The Chain. Will someone please bring us together?

my top 3 favorite RPGs series,bring it on
I'm already excited Let the hype begin
I'll have to see a lot more before I get at all excited Granted I'm looking forward to it like everyone else, but I can't help but worry a little after the direction the series took with 4 (The dropping of the SMT tag should indicate what I mean) Let's wait and see
P4 is probably my favorite gaming experience ever so I hope they keep the important stuff around for P5. Of course I want it to be different so I don't feel like I'm playing the same game, and I know Atlus will deliver.. Man I can't wait for this! It will be my most anticipated title until it comes out!
I hope I get an experience similar to P3 with this one. P4 was amazing, but the story and narrative in P3 can't be beat.
Teddy best be in it

Its always good to see that being said seen as theres so few of us that share the same opinion regarding P3
It would be nice to see a PS4 version as well. Oh well..
Persona 4 was a breathe of fresh air after the dark and flipping depressing Persona 3. In Persona 4 the MC actually had friends which you could tell actually liked him. Persona 3 never felt like they were friends and the damn AI in persona 3 was dumb as hell. Besides Junpei persona 3 had no likeble characters. Hoping Persona 5 is different but no where near as depressing as persona 3.
