Persona 5 delayed to Summer 2016 for PS3/PS4

While it has been a long ass time since P4 first game out, the time between P3 and P4 was very short, so I fully expect the same between P5/P6. But that's still a ways off, so for now BRING ON 2016 OMG new Persona yay
I haven't watched the trailer yet, I'm considering avoiding all spoilers.

For me it just means that #FE will have to do in the meantime.

Yeah the same thing is going to happen next year, which I believe is ultimately a good thing since people will be able to play all these big games over a longer time frame than if they were all stuffed in a 3-4 month period.

Same. Honestly, the thing I've always liked about Atlus is that they announce games like "OK, it'll be here in six months!" and then they build up the hype and then we have the game. Whereas here, they announce it, they build up the hype, and dangle the elusive release date in front of us for two years. They've at least been pretty good about not showing off too much footage from the game, so good on them for that, I suppose. Not gonna act like Persona 5 is the first taste of success for Atlus or anything like that but this game is expected to do really well for them so that has probably had a bit of a role in its delay. In any event, if the game turns out really well then I guess that's what matters most in the end - let's just these delays actually help the quality in the game in a positive manner.

I bet the delay is due to the PS3 being hard to work on.

I really want Persona 5 in my hand's but I'm kind of glad it won't come out this year because of Fallout 4.
But then next year we have a all if the heavy hitting JRPG's coming out ;__;

At this point, I feel that a reason for this is exactly because of the November 24, 2013 event. When Persona Q and Persona 4: Dancing All Night were announced, people were left feeling despondent (which is obvious from the event thread we had here) and had lost some faith in the series.
Along with Ultimax being one of the games mainly featured there, I think Atlus felt they had to tease Persona 5 real early at that point to make people go, "Oh, okay," and come around to the spin-offs because they had an official confirmation that Persona 5 was a thing. Persona 5 was apparently not even teased at some of those on-site, big screen locations in Japan and only done on the live streams. If not for that, this delay would have made people feel the same as the September 1, 2014 announcement, and probably would have been an easier pill to swallow.

I've finally come to terms and embraced the delay. We've waited for so long, what's another 9 months. Might give a few new games a shot that I never would've earlier.

I'm actually relieved. I guess my grades are safe.

This year has fully lived up to (with more to come) being "insane".

At least this gives them the chance to learn from their mistakes and to promote it at E3 this time.

I welcome the delay. Got too damn much on my plate as it is.

But this could have been the best year for RPGs...
PS4 holding back the PS3 version. :/

Chances are pretty high that you have to buy a PS4 to play it if you can't speak japanese.

I wonder if atlusprime will ever come back here after that.
I would't get my hopes up if I were you, Sony is pushing the PS4 and killing the rest pretty hard right now. I'm even 100% sure that all the delay are because of the PS4 version.

The wording of this tweet implies the PS3 version is still coming over: https://twitter.com/AtlusUSA/status/644545937306595328
Well that blows. When P5 was first announced (nearly two goddamn years ago I may add!) I bought a PS3 thinking it would be out mid-2014 the latest.
I guess it's not a big deal, since I was planning on getting a PS4 for Nier 2.
Honestly with up to another year waiting, I could see them quietly dropping the PS3 version outside of Japan with the install base of the PS4 continuing to grow.

lol this sums up perfectly how GAF reacts to release dates in teaser trailers and delays.

With the rapidly growing and diminishing userbases respectively, it makes sense for PS4 to be getting some priority.
Not really surprised by the delay, given how little we've seen of it. That said, i'm fine with it because now we have a pirate Persona!
Please be Blackbeard.
I can see that. Even though Atlus was releasing games late into the PS2's life cycle, it's different this time with a bigger install base on the PS4 outside of Japan.

It's the most likely scenario IMO. They didn't wait this long to announce it unless they were pretty sure of how things would go, and then the PS4 version gets announced and the delays start coming.
You just have to look at how they usually announce their games and how development is often shorter other there.

That trailer was wonderful, but did anyone notice how starkly simple some of the PS3 assets were? The cars, for example, look like they're comprised of about 30 polygons. Everything looks very clean as it's running on a PS4, but yikes.
Also, I'm rather crushed. I thought the frequent reiterations of 2015 as the release date surely indicated that a slow rollout was planned and intentional. That's utterly ridiculous by Atlus. Why would you persist with a lie for so long?
Being a PAL, if this is region locked I will have to think whether I want to continue supportingthis company. Thankfully that seems very unlikely.

So it's still coming this year on PC, 360, and X1 right? RIGHT?
Fucking god damn. That they knew it this whole time is what hurts the most. That explains why it was such a no show during the big pressers. Here I am waiting for a big stand alone presentation but nooooooooope. They were keeping the delays to themselves. A delay that puts it nearly a year away from now. How did they have the balls to tell us it would hit NA in 2015 if they knew....

I wouldn't pin the delay entirely on the PS4 but I believe it at least contributed to the delays. Not to mention the delay first came about when the PS4 version was announced. For me it's Hashino's message in this video. Sounds like they started development for the PS4 and said look at all this room for activities.

I can't remember which thread had that avatar bet
It was me and KenjiGlove in the Persona Community thread. Here is where I posted the punishment avatars.
So many in the community thread, it's strangely beautiful.
