I still got PTSD from forcing myself through P5 for 115 hours to see the ending. Hope this one is 60 hours tops.

As OP says, take it with a grain of salt, but you'd be better off not even entertaining this guy but whatever. The only thing that's definitely true is that it has a high-school setting again. To be honest, I thought that Persona 5 perfected it. It really delivered, atleast to me personally, that fantasy of being a high schooler in Tokyo. Shit was cash. I would've really hoped that they'd move away from that and do something drastically different though. In theory Persona is a series that could be about anything, but it seems we are stuck with high schoolers forever. It's why I appreciated Yakuza 7 so much, not only did they change things up by moving away from the brawler style by turning into an RPG, but they also gave us an adult cast. A JRPG with 40+ year olds struggling with life and going from rags to riches, signifying that you should never give up on yourself. I loved it.
It's also one of the primary reasons why I'm frothing at the mouth for Metaphor Refantazio. It being a project by the big 3 (Katsura Hashino, Shigenori Soejima, Shoji Meguro) is already more than enough reason for me to get hyped, but the very concept and vision they have for it, including it being a fantasy RPG (and the MC even talks! voiced by Natsuki Hanae) is what makes it my most anticipated game of the year by a mile.
You have to take into account that a numbered entry comes around like once in a decade too. If you go way back, you'll find out that Persona 5's early concept was about a globe trotting adventure with the central theme being finding out who you are. They gave us a roadtrip adventure with Persona 5 Strikers which I really liked, but I feel like that concept should've been brought back for Persona 6.

I have always had the feeling that a video game teaser is because it is already 85% to 95% complete.

Going by the last 3 mainline games, you better plan for another 100 hours.

They woulda been teasing it by now if so

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Sounds very implausible to me, if the game was 95% complete, we'd at least have an announcement by now.
And, no, Sega wouldn't be the kind to go 'we don't want to distract from Persona 3 Reload', they released 2 full length JRPG's within a week of each other.

Kinda, from a recruitment page
Persona 6 Confirmed, "To Create A 6 Which Exceeds 5"
Atlus confirmed the development of Persona 6 not with a flashy trailer, but with a recruitment ad.

Well they do have Medieval Persona coming later this year as well. It would make sense to have big P6 announcement once that releases.
And Unicorn Overlord release date was absolutely ridiculous. Too many other games are coming shortly or out has been released.

Probably teaser trailer at the ending of metaphor: rafantazio then. Atlus SMT series dev related games total game time is gonna be glorious : Persona 3 reload+episode aigis + SMT5 V+ metaphor refantazio + persona 6 and 2 dlcs, at least 300 hours of game time in total plus 100+ waifu human girl + demon girl character to jerk off to, holy shit, I'll be so drained. Also ALL OF THEM HAVE PC VERSION DAY 1! this is so awesome.

If it's true, I'm glad the P3, 4 and 5 milking will eventually end...

95% complete means 70% of the extended version, tops.

That’s in 2 years post release after all the DLC came out for cool $70.

Not always, some companies do occasionally sit on finished titles to release them at advantageous times. Nintendo sat on Prime remastered for literal years.
But it would be a pretty unusual move from a third party. I don't see any reason to believe this.
