Famitsu also has a few preliminary details on the next numbered entry in the series, Persona 5.

That includes Katsura Hashino as director, Shigenori Soejima as character designer, and Shouji Meguro as main composer.

An element that has been highly requested by fans
In an interview with Famitsu, producer Katsura Hashino said that team Persona was originally looking into bringing Persona 4 to PSP. However, they wanted to retain as much as possible from the PS2 version, as opposed to some of the cuts they had to make for Persona 3 Portable. They deemed this impossible on the PSP. This is when they heard about the Vita, and determined that they could make something even better than the PS2 version.
Hashino promised that the Vita version will retain the qualities of the original while also adding many new elements.
New details about Persona 4: The Golden come from Famitsu, which revealed a new event. The gang will go to a skiing and stay at lodge. During this event they’ll fight battles wearing winter clothing.
Yosuke and Chie may have new evolved Personas too. The magazine shows Yosuke with Takehaya Susano-o and Chie with Haraedo no Okami. Another change is the game has team attacks where you two characters can do different combinations.
Was Persona 4 too hard? Too easy? Persona 4: The Golden has four difficulty settings. One of them lets you retry a battle if you get a game over screen. The game also has two communication modes "Everyone’s voice" which lets you see what other players did during their days and "Rescue Request" calls other players for help.
Persona 4: The Golden comes out for PlayStation Vita in Japan this spring.
