Atlus is teasing us with yellow color, black text photo

The above text and a lot more of some really bright yellow is all you'll see at this new Atlus teaser site. Given the stylish angle, font, and use of the letter "p", I'd put money down that it's in some way related to Persona 4.

But what could it be? There's already a Persona 4 TV anime series coming out this fall. If I were to conjecture, it'd be an announcement of a PSP (or perhaps PS Vita) port of the PlayStation 2 classic. Atlus have already danced the enhanced-rerelease dance with the original Persona, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, and Persona 3, so doing Persona 4 (and the Eternal Punishment half of Persona 2) would bring things full circle.

What's your theory?

I'd give my left arm for P4 Portable.

This is going to be awesome. I wonder if they will do the whole floating orb thing like they did for P3 Portable. I hope they go all out and make character animations outside of dungeons.

......If this is what We think it is.

A big collectors edition of all the portable persona games for like 150 - 200 buckaroos? So sick.

I'd give both feet for Persona 5 on a next-gen system. They DID just get Catherine out to pretty good success

Here's to hope~

Atlus is ditching the Pe-Nis3 and making Persona an Xcocks3shitty exclusive.

I'd bet Persona 4 Portable but I would LOVE if the did Persona 4-2 or something. Every even numbered persona game should be a two parter.

It's obviously P4 Vita (maybe P4 PS3 but i doubt it)

It's P4 yellow and P4 is already getting an anime so all that's left is a game

I would guess its a Persona 4 port for the 3ds as they have at least one unannounced Persona 3ds game. Could be Vita as well though. We shall see soon.

For 3DS? that sounds unlikely to me but that would be very neat.

Nintendo mentioned a Persona project for 3DS, but I don't see myself gettign one of those anytime soon. I sure hope the upcoming reveal is console or PS Vita related.

P4P plox. Having just finished P3P and attempting P3FES's The Answer, I'd love to have a portable version of 4 instead. The P3P remake is so much faster loading and gameplay wise and I'd love that for P4.

another boring dungeon crawler with awesome social sim. aspect to it
would seriously be such a better game if it wasnt a dungeon crawler i couldnt finish Persona 2 or 3 cuz they were just so freaking boring to play aside from the "dating sim" and monster creating components

P4P on 3DS. The 3D would work way too well for going inside the Tv, and tehres already a persona game know for the 3Ds so it fits.

Its most certainly P4 related. The color, the slant to the font. P4 through and through. My bet is PSP, maybe Vita. Please not 3DS...

PS I would give almost anything for Persona 5 on PS3. Oh dear lord would I...

Atlus confirmed that they're working on three Shin Megami Tensei games for 3DS - one of those were Devil Survivor Overclocked and the other SMT: Persona game. Persona 4 port on 3DS probably, especially with upcoming Nintendo event.

I could have sworn that I heard there wasn't going to be a Persona 4 Portable, but I guess I could be wrong.

I think it's for the anime.

I hope it is P4 on 3DS because I'm much more likely to pick one of those up rather than Vita purely because of Layton (though vita does look cool). I have this sitting in my PS2 though waiting to be played so no great loss if its on the handheld I don't plan on getting.

I just started Persona 4! Really enjoying it, though. If it ends up being for the Vita, I'll probably get it again. Hell, no matter what it is I'll get it again.

P4 Portable?!? Let's hope so! Although, I definitely wouldn't mind seeing a well-dubbed version of Persona 4 come over here. Yes, they can make good dubs and of course it will sound different if you watch the Japanese audio first.

It's been a pretty good night so far for JRPG fans, first Black Rock Shooter and now this!

That's P4P, would bet on this one.

Now, make Kanji a possible love interest for the protagonist, that's the only thing that was not perfect about that game.

@Phoenix Gamma :

But when the milk is of such high quality, why complain? ;)

After all, they did the same with P3. Then P3Fes. Then P3P. And all those releases of the same game are worth it.

And if it's how I think it will be, a P4P game could hold a hint about their next move. (Remember how Vincent from Catherine made a cameo in P3P?)

Still I must say: Hey, Atlus, get some work done on P5!
It's probably gonna come out at the end of this gen, like P3 and P4 did, but I hope they don't wait too long...

Definitely P4 related. P4P would be fantastic, but it could have something to do with the anime.

It seems to me that it'd be coming to PSP for sure with a chance that it may hit the 3DS as well. If its for both I guess it will come down to special features for me to decide which platform to get it on. Hell, i'd probably get it for both systems since i'm such a whore for SMT... Great (vague) news indeed!

What Brian Green said.

I'm a Shin Megami Tensei fan (currently enjoying devil summoner 2 overclocked!), but fucking Persona....It's a chore to play. The best one is obiviously 4. So if its P4P, for either 3DS or Vita, I'll bite and buy it.

If it's anything else, fuck it.

I only fear if I can resist the pre-order bonus, if it's P4P/P4V.

I got P1 and its full soundtrack (and preordered P4 with its artbook and half-soundtrack, and scrounged up a very nice P3 with case, artbook, and soundtrack), but kept from P3P (Junpei's not a character I'd cosplay, especially since I don't like baseball caps, preferring my boonie/fishin'/bucket hat) and will hold out on P2 (if it was more than a soundtrack selection, then I prolly would).

However, I'm gonna be getting a Vita (how can I resist?), so I'd like to have any games from this point out digitally...unless the pre-order incentives are beyond resistance. Hence why I have Lunar, the Yses, and Trails in the Sky.

*sigh* When will I actually PLAY these games? I haven't touched P4, since I'm still in the midst of P3FES...for the past year or two (if only the PS3 had backwards compatibility, I may more easily boot it up), and most recently left off Brave Story: New Traveler, as handheld RPGing goes (thanks, XSEED, for the heads-up on it getting pulled from PSN!).

Persona 4 portable please that would be amazing. I loved P3P especially since it was portable made tackling such a long game even easier
Noir's Avatar - Comment posted on 08/25/2011 07:49

This is one of the three.

A) Persona 4 Portable
B) A Persona 4 cellphone game (Persona 3 had one too after Atlus fused with Index)
C) A direct sequel to Persona 4

It could be any of them, but the first one is the most likely. I'd laugh if it was just a cellphone game though. A direct sequel would be interesting, but it isn't needed honestly. I'm kinda mad about this since I just about Persona 4 about 4 months ago, but even then I don't think I would be able to pass up a portable version.

Also anyone hoping that this is a Persona 5 may as well stop hoping, I really doubt it is. Persona 5 is definitely coming though, like Catherine Atlus just doesn't want to talk about it yet.

What Noir said. That's not p5. Knowing Atlus, they'll use a completely different color/font for p5. My prediction is green.
