I chose Catherine. Has the same vibe and feel of the Persona game and it isn't the same exact story of teenage kids with teenage problems fighting demons at night.

Since I haven't played both it's hard to answer, but catherine seems a bit better for my tastes.

Well since I've played Catherine I suppose I'll have to go with that. Of course if they come out with Persona 5, I'll be buying it without a doubt.

Posting in outdated topics FTW! Well, my vote would have to be on Catherine. Honestly, as much as I LIKE Persona, I prefer the other sub-series of the SMT franchise to get some face time, and for the the Persona Team to work on new ideas.

Catherine was just... just brilliant in my opinion. As a writer, it really helped expand my ideologies and opinions about the social and moral dynamics of being in a relationship. The character development was positively brilliant, and the writing changed my standards of what to expect from a video game. Honestly, everything about it was much more interesting and original than anything I've ever seen from the Persona series, and this is coming from somebody who counts the SMT series as his favorite RPG franchise.

This team, to me, is capable of far more than 100+ hour RPGs featuring young teen protagonists that target an easy demographic. While I would love to see more Persona, the developers should be given more free reign to create original content, because the stand-alone title they released has one of the finest plots in game history.

I'm actually one of those people who wouldn't mind that. I really love the social gameplay of Persona 3 and 4, and building upon that even more would be fun to see. It would be even cooler if it was set in college.

I simply agree

Persona 5

I voted in Chaterine which is basically one of the best games of the generation and a big slap on the face of some developers which basically only knows to make FPS, TPS or sandbox games.

Persona 5? Never played nor seen anything about it. Also, I am pretty much done with the Social Link feature and playing as a bunch of teenagers, why can't they put adults like Maya and Baofu from Persona 2 is beyond me. Here hoping that they innovate in a lot of ways, like they did after P2 (and with Catherine) in P5.

PS: I don't want to be a dick here, but it amuses me to see that there are people who play Persona only for this stuff (S. Link/Date sim) and wouldn't mind if they extended it further in Persona 5. I am sure there are more appropriated games for this stuff.

To be fair, I don't think there's a single high school simulation game that does it as well as Persona 3 and 4. And even if there are high school simulation games out there, I would think that all of them have characters using full on anime cliches and bad fan-service. The characters in Persona 4 are so lovable and well developed (in my opinion at least) that I think it'd be hard to make a high school simulator with characters that are just as good.

Of course, I've never actually went out to look for a high school simulator game, and I'm only basing these assumptions based off of what I know about Japanese simulator games and visual novels.

To be fair, I don't think there's a single high school simulation game that does it as well as Persona 3 and 4. And even if there are high school simulation games out there, odds are the characters are full of anime cliches and bad fan-service. Plus they're probably only available in Japan.

Of course, I've never actually went out to look for a high school simulator game, so I could be just being very biased.

You are really subestimating the genre actually P4 characters are rip off of a lot of Japanese date sim characters, Persona 3 and 4 makes a good job with those date elements considering is not a full date sim but its never going to be to the level of some date sims like Mitsumete Knight from that instance (Its Like tokimeki memorial 2 spiritual predecessor)
