Hashino Comment

Katsura Hashino, the Atlus director for Persona 5 commented on the results in Famitsu. He is surprised that Persona 5 took first place, but he also felt a great amount of pressure during the game’s development to meet people’s expectations, and to surpass the previous games in the series. The Persona series will continue on, while Hashino will undertake a new challenge in the form of Project Re Fantasy.
