Support NeoGAF

[The Yo Tornado]

Yo seriously can I like, crowdfund the localization to make it come faster? Because I totally would.

Awesome trailer. Every single one has been something I can show my friends to convince them to hop on the Persona trailer for the first time. I'm cool if that's the last one, though, so a few secrets can still be in the final game.

 

[semiconscious]

going with 03/2017 for na. anything sooner = profit! ...

 

[mrmickfran]

Just like Anarchy Reigns.

Or Bayonetta.

 

[Asd202]

Phantom did say they would be a E3 right?

If Atlus doesn't bring this game to E3 their insane it looks so good, there's nothing like it.

 

[Burbeting]

That release date is pretty daring from Atlus, since it means they will be facing Final Fantasy XV almost head on, and I doubt Atlus will have as big marketing budget for the game, as Square will have.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Do we know if NA is still getting the PS3 version?

Every time Atlus US has mentioned the game they've reconfirmed the PS3 version. There's no reason to expect it to be dropped. Smaller Japanese companies don't drop non-PS4 versions of their games.

They didn't update us about it, but I guess it is coming.

 

[VendettaRed07]

With Nintendo in orbit doing whatever it is they are doing I seriously need this game to come out this year. It will be hard to make it through the summer without anything to look forward to this holiday.

 

[Servbot24]

Going straight for FFXV's head.

I'm really curious what will come of this. FFXV will sell more of course, but by how much

 

[LiquidMetal14]

As popular as the series is in the West they better not make us wait too long.

 

[ys45]

Pretty sure we are not getting this in 2016 .
Maybe we will have more news at E3.

 

[Heartfyre]

With IQ like that, I don't even care that it's cross-gen.

Dungeons look like they might actually be good this time, too. Overall, excitement is high.

 

[Metroidvania]

There's a better shot of the last party member in that cover shot.

New party members in general look more 'lively' than their out-of-the-castle portrayals - probably relates back to that 'true self' being hidden and the mask concept.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Pretty sure we are not getting this in 2016 .

Persona central has said e3 appearance has been confirmed. I'm expecting a very late 2016 release or early 2017.

 

[megalowho]

That's a meaty trailer, lots of locations and story stuff packed in there even with the language barrier.

Expecting 2017 for NA, seems like a pretty significant localization project.

 

[TheKingOfPain]

I guess now I know what I'll be playing this September. Great news.

Thanks. I hope so, lol.

I hope not. This was supposed to be released in 2014. They should have made some headway in the meantime.

 

[Quonny]

Thank God this isn't coming out In September in the west. I'll be too busy with FFXV.

 

[Kazuhira]

I see new waifu on the right.
Anyway,boxart looks pretty similar to vanilla P4.

 

[Fraxin]

In Japan maybe not by much, or P5 might outsell it who knows. But worldwide I think FFXV will sell pretty much more.

 

[Holundrian]

Sooooo where can I preoder the CE?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I don't understand written Japanese text at all (I can make out some audio here and there).

But is anyone else like me considering dropping cash on an import just to play with the stylish menus and listen to the music? 😐😐😐

 

[Pandora012]

Thank God this isn't coming out In September in the west. I'll be too busy with FFXV.

I never understood this. Couldn't you either buy it and wait or finish final fantasy then buy Persona 5?

 

[Rellik]

lol

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I never understood this. Couldn't you either buy it and wait or finish final fantasy then buy Persona 5?

If you're someone without a lot of freetime, it could take you a while to finish either.

 

[Quonny]

I like to be a part of the zeitgeist.

 

[artsi]

How am I supposed to platinum P5 in two weeks, damnit.

I need to quit my job.

 

[YankeeDonB]

FFXV and P5 are lovers, not a fighters.

Quoted for truth. If anything, having them pop in the same month but a couple of weeks apart could be optimal for driving PS4 investment in Japan.

 

[Maxey]

lol

Now imagine if it was also coming to the NX.

 

[Mediking]

lol

There were like a bazillion threads for FF XV when Uncovered happened.... so this is fair. Lol

 

[Pandora012]

If you're someone without a lot of freetime, it could take you a while to finish either.

I mean the game isn't going to disappear if you don't get it day one.

I like to be a part of the zeitgeist.

I suppose that makes sense.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Now imagine if it was also coming to the NX.

We'd have a dozen threads worried about potential localization changes.

 

[ChasingComets]

I hope they bring that sick collector's edition over, I would pay as much as they want for it.

 

[Parakeetman]

Granted its a different genre / ecosystem but interesting to see them releasing so close to EOV also. Would have thought they would want to put a little space inbetween the two. Though from the argument that it is a different ecosystem, which it is. Does pass on that.

 

[Jeb]

Wrong thread.

 

[AuthenticM]

No worldwide release? In 2016? Christ. Get your act together, Atlus. Or Sega, I guess.

 

[Son Of D]

I'm curious. Would it releasing 2 weeks before FFXV hurt the sales legs of P5? Or will it be frontloaded?

 

[Maxey]

Has Persona gotten big enough to afford simultaneous worldwide release? I think some people here overestimate its global popularity.

 

[DrunkShogun]

I've settled on mug party from the pv. Punchy girl, blue hair painter and the cat. Got a feeling the remaining girls minus Anne are going to annoy me based on design.

 

[Cryoteck]

What about the October 1st cutoff point for ps4 Neo versions? Will Atlus try for a near simultaneous release to avoid creating a Neo build or will there be a larger gap in releases to accommodate the neo build?

 

[ChasingComets]

No worldwide release? In 2016? Christ. Get your act together, Atlus. Or Sega, I guess.

Atlus is a small studio, this was always expected.

 

[YankeeDonB]

My gut is telling me November or December for NA. I hope the former, but won't be surprised if it doesn't make it before Winter 2017.

 

[shoryukens]

I'm sure we'll get an NA release date at E3.

Expecting a March 2017 release or somewhere a little sooner. A December release is a possibility as well.

 

[Green Yoshi]

boxart

Will the PS3-version be published outside Japan?

 

[Arxisz]

Lmao FFXV gonna feel the heat.

Atlus to Square-Enix: bruh y'all ain't shit we taking over.

 

[banagher]

 

[Perona]

The group's thief names (I assume)

Spoiler

Joker, Skull, Queen, Panther, Inari, Noir

 

[serenewarfare]

Has Persona gotten big enough to afford simultaneous worldwide release? I think some people here overestimate its global popularity.

P4G sold over 700,000 copies WW and that was a Vita game AND a rerelease. I think it's every bit big enough to justify a WW release.
