Do you think Persona 5 will age poorly?
If you go back and look at P2, you can tell that it was a 90's game, same with P3 in the early 2000's. This isn't to say those games have aged poorly, but that they reflect the time period they were made in.

Do you think P5 will age like that, what with it's use of emojis in regular speak and abundance of smart technology? Or do you think 10 years from now, looking back at P5 will make you cringe?
No cringe its flawless
well they'll reflect this age for sure, but it won't age badly.
I don't even think the other games are cringy for their time period, they're just representative of their era. I just don't look at old movies or games that way. P5 will be no different.

Or we will look down on the past and laugh as we chat on our hand-embedded laptops.
I think the phrase "age poorly" has a bit of a stigma that the game now sucks because it's old.

Which I don't think P5 will suffer from because it's that well put together.

Though I can see the lingo becoming outdated, though you'd get that with basically any game set in modern times.
I don't think it will really "age poorly". Given the ways modern games have been going, I imagine even in the future Persona 5 will be a standout if for nothing but a focus on aesthetic you really never see.
The games are the same no matter how old they are. The only way for them to "age poorly" is for the generation that enjoys those games to all die out or be too old to play games. I can't really say how future generations will view this game, but i'll certainly force any of my potential children to enjoy these games (when I become human again).
I'll tell you in 10 years
Yes, someone needs to necro this post in 10 years so we can see it again.
