I've send my tweets to Adam Boyes, Nick Accordino (Part of Sony and loves Japanese games) and of course Yoshida.
We need that PS4 version :x
 
It makes more sense to release the game on PS3 as it has a much larger user base early on.
By the time it comes out in the US and especially Europe, PS3 will effectively be dead. Now I can play it fine on my PS3, but cross gen at least would make more sense
 
I don't think you understand the nature of how rumors work. Things change, and things change often.

I was told cross-gen, the game isn't cross-gen. The same can be said for Ni No Kuni 2. The PS4 hasn't even shipped in Japan yet, the sales of the machine will determine all the support it gets going forward.

This sounds like Atlus will stagger the eventual PS4 release.

As for Dragon Quest and all other Japanese needs, you folks need to tap Verendus or Kagari on that front. I can assure you they knew far more about this little announcement than your fuzzy little parrot who can't shut up

Well you didnt say your rumor was about P5 being cross gen, just PS4. Anyways, P5 will likely be on another platform later on.

Japanese sales of the PS4 will not be great unless Sony moneyhats some Japanese games. The support will determine all the sales it gets, otherwise its going to be another Vita/Wii U situation. Japan like last gen, will have troubles moving to a newer gen, unless there is a big push from someone like Sony Japan will linger on between 2 gens for a very long time.
 
Seems I misremembered, there was more than six months between SMT IV's announcement and release. Persona 4 came out a few months after it was unveiled, which is what I was thinking of.

As far as Japan goes, I believe it was roughly 1 year for SMT IV.

Just like Persona 4.

Persona 4 had a similar release and sold great. I see no issue with a single platform release.

A-fucking-greed. Remember that paywall you guys have? The money you give Sony can be appropriated depending on how loud you make your racket.
 
Tweet at the Sony higherups so they can start working on a PS4 release, dudes.
It needs to happen.

Be it a straight port, a cross-gen version, whatever. I'll take it.

Your awesome little paywall will give them coin to use for money hats, insuring some JRPG's will go a long way garnering a niche that has been denied far too long.
 
I wish it was Vita/crossplay compatible. Winter 2014 is a long way away and that's only for the JP release. Being in Europe, we probably won't get it until Summer 2015... I don't think I'll even still have a PS3 hooked up by then :(

Just like P4 then..
Everyone that know atlus would NOT expecting they have resource for developing PS4 game.. jebus, this maybe even their last console game if PS4 absolutely tanked on japan.
 
Ps3 It is
Glad I hold my Wii U purchase today

Gonna buy those expensive $120 American Library PKD Collection you now
 
Stream was an emotional rollercoaster:

OMG MEGAHYPE PERSONA SHIT
Persona Arena 2 for PS3, yay
Fuck chibi Persona 3ds spinoff
Fuck milked dancing Persona 4 game
FUUUUUUUCKKKKK PERSONA 5 FUUUUUUUCK
 
I feel like with the heavy hitters hitting the Wii U, it's going to gain traction exactly at that same time.

GC had these "heavy hitters" it did nothing. It doesn't matter if WiiU gets MK, SSB etc i needs a steady release schedule of software and with JP third parties avoiding the system like the plague thats not going to happen.

When should we expect the first...substantial trailer?

Didn't famitsu and Dengeki say something about this? Come on Atlus give us something
 
I am expecting being a slave to technology to be the theme.

I'm thinking it'll be related on our online personas and being a slave to social networks and the always connected mentality. Phones as the new Persona activation tools and we get midnight status updates this go around.
 
Seems more in line with the first 2 games. Its a bit... Darker.

We'll see how it goes.

Anyway, isn't there suppose to be another stream after this announcement?
 
cost of 360 development + marketing + distribution = may not be worth it

it's opportunity cost. sharing your resources across two platforms will provide different results compared to focusing them on 1 platform.

What I don't get is a fighting game, based on Persona 4, was released on the 360. But the long awaited sequel to the mainline series doesn't get a 360 release? Makes no sense in hindsight.
 
It makes more sense to release the game on PS3 as it has a much larger user base early on.

Of course, and i don't want them to cancel the PS3 version, but they should also make a PS4 port.
I think it's safe to say that JRPG fans in the west are more core gamers than casuals, and therefore a lot of the potential buyers will have a PS4 in 1 - 2 years when it will be out in the West. You can't expect them all to keep their PS3.

I think 3DS Persona was announced first. I think the HYPE got to you :P. But yeah it was really emotional after I saw the dance game I felt like I have thrown a birthday party and nobody came :P.
 
I'm mildly annoyed that they are using red again as the main color scheme when it has already been used previously. I really liked that each game has it's own signature color.
 
Gotta say i'm excited the tease alone seems to imply they are going back to a bit of a darker tone like with Persona 3. Which i'm glad for. Love persona 4 but just felt story wise P3 mopped the floor with it. For me the atmosphere had a lot to do with it to.
