Here is some more Trinity Soul news found on the atlus forums

Writer: Yasuyuki Muto (Chevalier chief writer)
Original Character Design: Shigenori Soejima (Persona games)
Animation Character Design: Yuriko Ishii (DtB and Ouran episode animation director)
Persona Design: Nobuhiko Genma (?)
Music: Taku Iwasaki (WHR, ROD)

Aegis: The First Mission for Mobile Phones
Why this game was only released in japan!!!
... anyway here is the story about this game ^_^
A couple of weeks back, Famitsu unveiled the first information on a Persona 3 prequel for mobile phones. Entitled Aigis: The First Mission, the game stars Aigis and appears to deal with the specific events that led to the Shadow’s domination of the area years prior. The game is an action RPG; screen shot captions state that the game still utilizes SP and Personae summoning for attacks. It features characters both new and familiar to those who have played through both Persona 3 releases. The title was released for download on November 14th, 2007.
While it appears the game is available for all mobile phones (including Softbank 3G terminals), the title seems to be focused on Yahoo!’s mobile network. For those interested (and obviously living in Japan), Famitsu gives the following directions: enter the phone menu, pick RPG, then Megami Tensei and then “Aigis THE FIRST MISSION”. The game costs 525 yen (about $4.75 USD) , plus tax.

Persona 3: FES confirmed for America!!!! 
Almost an entire year after its release in Japan, Atlus USA has finally confirmed that Persona 3: FES is coming to North America. After months of "not having plans at this time" to release FES in the USA, Atlus began placing ads on the internet and even created a countdown website here.
Scheduled for release on April 22, 2008, FES offers Episode Yourself and Episode Aegis. Episode Yourself is the initial game with new quests, events, Persona, costumes, synthesis, and an extra difficulty setting. Episode Aegis features Aegis as the main character along with a new ending to the game.
In Japan, FES was released as both an expansion that required the original Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 to run and as a complete package with Persona 3 included. Because Atlus USA is releasing the complete package in North America, RPGamers do not have to own the now hard-to-find Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 to play. FES will be available for a suggested retail price of $29.99 USD.

Persona 4 will be release in Japan on July 10 
Persona 4 has been announced for the PlayStation 2 and will be released in Japan on July 10. The game features 180+ Persona, multiple endings, and 60-70 hours of play time. Persona 4 shares many of Persona 3's fundamentals such as the Social Link system and graphical engine.
Unlike previous Persona games that took place in cities, Persona 4 has a countryside setting designed to create a melancholic atmosphere. Not much is known about the game's story other than it having something to do with murder and mystery, creating lots of twists similar to what Persona 2 did. In terms of gameplay, a weather forecast system is used to detect when fog is approaching, which then means a murder is soon to occur.
