This is very true. From social pressure, having a terminal disease, having your parent/sibling/husband/wife/child die, inheritance and being born into a set future, loneliness, being adopted, popularity/stardom/public opinion, sexual orientation, struggling with one's gender, growing without a mother and a father that's always away from home, parental expectations, working without recognition, alcoholism, social order and duty, being a young child living a divorce, etc.
The Sun Social Link in Persona 3 was one of the few times I had tears in my eyes playing a video game.

Except Golden was released 4 years after Vanilla?

What happened here to cause the title change lol

That, and it was released for an entirely different platform. (P4 being on home console and P4G being exclusive to handheld.)

can anyone translate what this comic says?
I was just thinking the same thing lol

Doesn't matter. They said they weren't going to do the same thing with P4.
They lied. Platform is irrelevant.
Whatever the release date is for P5 means I have to add a year onto it.

I wonder what they'll do with the battle system this time around. Make more progress with "One More" or something new entirely?

Isn't it obvious?
They can add stuff with DLC now. No need to make another version.

Yes, always been about high school students. No, the series wasn't about high school until 3.

But they didn't do the same thing, they released a port with a little extra content several years later.

Well, Golden was announced three years after the original game. That one-year wait could be for naught.
Waifu Wars happened... for a game where we haven't even seen the new Waifus.
War... War never changes.
That said I'm really excited to maybe see Gameplay during TGS? Hope we get to see more soon, the persona thirst is real.
persona community gaf happened.

Even though most of the posting is from people who are never in the community thread.
No. It's just people being silly.
I implore you to check the community thread. Nothing like that.
A year, four years. They're the same thing, right?

You're free to do as you please, but those circumstances were entirely different.
Platform does matter. Atlus didn't re-release Persona 4 on PlayStation 2 in 2009, they ported it to PlayStation Vita (new audience) in 2012 - about three-and-a-half years after the release of the original.

I love it when people lecture about the history of the series when they have no idea what they're talking about.
The point is that this release will not be the final version. There will be another one coming.

Yeah, I should do a better job of that. But this is the first mainline Persona title that I am anticipating (first entry I'll be a part of from the jump, I should say), so I'll have to spend more time there.
Wut. I'm pretty sure PK Gaming knows what's up with Persona.
I completely misread your post, sorry. I see your point now. Can't see I agree with it, but I respect your position.

So you're waiting a year because maybe there might be a new version in 2019?
Whatever suits you
I'm guessing.
P2 protag is giving P5 protag shit because the color of P2 was also red.
And Yu is giving P5 protag shit because he also wears glasses
And you can save your pennies and try to avoid spoilers for what you assume will only be a year, while the rest of us are having fun being players of the game at launch.

I'll pick this up on PS4 simply because I expect it'll probably look and run better than the PS3 version though I don't think Atlus will cut corners.

Thank YHWH. I'd like to think when the full cast we could have the wiggleroom to debate their looks respectably.
Not really feeling the MC; perhaps it'll be a Chie thing and his personality will sell me.
I wonder what the benefits of PS4 over PS3 will be.
I hope this game is crazy as SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEETT. Nonstop nonsense. Nonstop crazy.

I'm serious here. Wait four years, at least, to really make sure there won't be another version coming. If you only waited one year, then they announced a "Golden" version on year three, your one year wait would be very wasteful.
Unless you also want it cheaper, which I could appreciate.
Erm...You know that video he posted was an interview with Kozy Okada and Kazuma Kaneko, right? You know, basically the original designers of the first 3 games? If they don't have an idea what the series is about, then who does?
Katsura Hashino and Soejima follow even more in line with the thematic significance of Highschool in game and character design, so, if they're all wrong about Persona, then who does decide what Persona is?
If you have the will to wait 3 years for the potential of an updated version while the rest of the internet is fill with information, more power to you. We see their recent games (SMTIV and Persona Q) having tons of DLC, which is a better indication of the direction P5 is going to go.

Kaneko and Okada themselves stated that they wanted to explore adult relationships with Eternal Punishment. The two games were meant to explore different aspects of life; high school and adulthood.
Maybe that aspect left with them, but the series by no means has to be exclusively about high school students.

What do those games have anything to do with Atlus and DLC?

All Persona's are standalone, ala Final Fantasy, right?
I don't have to have played them to try this one, do I?

Their stories are self-contained but, unlike Final Fantasy, they are all set in the same universe.

I think the comment was more on the Japanese industry seemingly preferring releasing all new 'turbo' version of games vs giving the content in DLC.
Even if so, you really don't have to play one to get the others. You might miss a couple of small references here and there but that's it.
Golden came out four years after P4, though, right?
Yes.
The exception is the P3 and P4 casts are both found in the fighting game Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.
But on the mainline entry front - the RPGs, you're right. You most likely won't have to have played P3FES/P3P or P4/P4G.

Same universe but you can play them separately no problem
Preach!

While I love the story and social aspect of Persona 4, I really wish combat wasn't so easy. Maybe I should move on to SMT:3 or something and diversify?

They need to fucking show some gameplay at TGS.

I'm expecting this trailer is all we'll have to go on for some time
The shadow operatives have to make an appearance in this game right? I feel like they have to show up at some point if something big is going down in this city. The shadow problem would have to be on the down low for them to not hear about it. The p5 characters will have to run into them at some point. Unless arena isn't canon and there is no shadow operative team.
I hope not. Call me a purist or an asshole, but I don't want that Arena crap in P5
It's canon but will likely have no effect on the story.
