I just heard about this today and have to admit I have no clue what to make of it. I know it's not a SMT game, but I'm all for dumping the kids/school setting from those persona games and going for something a bit edgier.

Eugenics: you know it's right!
So that's who that guy was in Persona 3 Portable. Anyway, I'll be buying this as soon as possible since I'm a huge fan. Got all of the Persona and SMT series in both languages.
Would be nice to know if this is their substitute for Persona 5 though. How can they expand on Persona 3? Everyone's either dead or gone.
Yeah just heard about this too and well, I'm really intrigued - patiently waiting for a video to check out "gameplay" and hoping that it's not a bog-standard adventure-game.
More news!! So it seems the game won't be a "Role playing game" but a horror themed "action adventure". Also the developers are preparing for a future HD Persona by developing Catherine first, which is around 80% complete at the moment.

I bet it'll be localized, the western SMT fanbase is really strong.
I also forgot to mention that the music is being composed by Shoji Meguro again. The art designers are from Persona 3 AND 4, and the director did Nocturne, Persona 3 and Persona 4. This can't fail, this game is going to be incredible.
Looks awesome and I'm glad to see the Persona team doing something different. I've got a near 100% chance of picking this one up.

- The game has been in development for 2 years
- Fully voiced
- Multiple endings
- First playthrough will take players approximately 20 hours
- Selectable difficulty
Call me shallow but I'm a sucker for when they actually full-voice games like this. It makes the whole thing just feel better.

It's nigh incomprehensible.
