Atlus Marketer Registers New 'Persona' Domain Names

Wait a sec, what happened to Persona 6 and 7!?!? (lol)

(snip) If I had to guess it's an HD remaster or even remake of Persona 3 that combines Persona 3 FES with Persona 3 Portable for the PlayStation 4.

Kind of curious as to what P3D is. It's that one trademark that stands out against all the P5 trademarks, the obvious dancing game spin-off, and Persona Q follow-up. If I had to guess it's an HD remaster or even remake of Persona 3 that combines Persona 3 FES with Persona 3 Portable for the PlayStation 4.

It's referring to a rhythm spin-off of P3. Obviously just registering a domain doesn't mean it's going to happen, but I don't get why people would assume this acronym means another rerelease.

I really liked most of the spin-offs, but It's kind of exhausting to think that every numbered Persona going forward might get the exact same treatment. Especially since Atlus keeps trying to make these "fit" canon, when it would probably be more fun if they just went nuts.

Doesn't bode well for IP variety either, at least as far as Megaten is concerned. Whether it's because of development costs or an increase in players to try and please (probably a combination of both), it looks like we'll mostly be getting Persona and "actual" SMT games (i.e. they have the SMT name in the Japanese release); and after 4A, I'm worried Persona's the only one I'll care about, which would be sad.

Spinoffs were inevitable at this point since the major players behind Persona (Hashino, Soejima, and Meguro) are all working on their new Re Fantasy IP. So without those guys the P Studio team will focus on spinoffs.

And yeah P3D is definitely a dancing game, if they're making one.

Working on one game, especially one that we will not see any time soon, does not mean they can't work on Persona 6 as well. It's a bigger workload sure, but not impossible and I think they know that fans want Persona 6 more than they want an endless amount of spin-offs.

not even sure how a Persona 3 dancing game would work

not even sure how a Persona 3 dancing game would work, P3 didn't have a pop idol in it's main cast like 4 and spoiler[Makoto is dead (the main character from Persona 3 not niijima from 5 calm down people)]

The story modes of fighting-games P4 Arena and P4A Ultimax also had a separate "P3 Arena" story-mode adventure available as DLC. (To continue the joining story-universe arc of how the P3 characters became the "Shadow Force" between P's 3 and 4.)

I'm not sure what the P4 Dancing All Night story was, but evidently Atlus had an idea to spin the P3-verse off as a joining sequel "If P4D sold". Um, did it?....I don't have a Vita.
