Woke up and watched this about 30 minutes ago. So glad I didn't wake up at 5am to watch the stream!

I hope we don't have to wait long for a gameplay trailer :/ I thought the P3 and P4 announcements came alongside those crazy long trailers. Did those trailers actually follow the original announcements?
 
I love persona, but releasing on a machine that's 14 months last gen and not on ps4 saddens me. I don't have room for six consoles under my tv...
 
In Japan? Hmmm.......

Persona is a pretty small series. 1M LTD is probably a large enough install base for a Persona game to reach its typical numbers. P4 Golden sold about 85% of the copies that the original Persona 4 sold, even though it launched on the Vita when the Vita's LTD was less than 770k.
 
I fail to see the connection between a leg chain and prison. No prison does this nowadays.

I think those leg chain are more related to the slave thing written in the trailer.

I'm calling it now. Slave to technology/existential anxiety/lack of presence/inability to connect. Zombies who are chained to chairs at computers.

They straight up can't do that as it's mandated by Sony that unless it uses Move or the Camera, it gets Remote Play.

...oh fuck

MOVE BASED COMBAT SYSTEM
Its mandated unless theres a good exception, as in they detail plans for a vita port. If thats the case then it'll be very obvious becausr of lack of remote play. They can get around that marketing by releasing ps4 and vita versions concurrently :p
 
well if you think about it, both Persona 3 and 4 were both announced in March 2006 and 2008 respectively and released 4 months later in July. And Persona 5 will most likely be in this weeks Famitsu and Dengeki Playstation.

I suppose there is that... We will see! How were they revealed/teased?

The Winter timeframe though... Would have to be Feb 2014 since I think March tends to count as Spring.
 
Winter 2014 as in before 19th of March 2014, or Winter 2014 as in after December 21st 2014?

BTW, I'm happy this is a PS3 title. Though I find it strangely odd there is no Vita version announced.
 
Shitty teaser but eh, at least it's official. Winter 2014 is crazy late though. I think people wouldexpect some decent next gen titles by then.

So 2016 in Europe though right? Or is that a never instead?

Every other game was announced for summer and had some gameplay shown.

Gonna guess December

The PS3 isn't region locked. Just import the game. It's worth the money more than worth the wait

Yeah, but Dengeki will probably have stuff for it. They probably had a deal with them for exclusivity in revealing Persona 5. That's why we didn't have any footage now.

The latter since the former is usually regarded as Winter 2013.

That's not a good enough exception at all. If that was the case EA would opt out for their sports games. Sony built both consoles with this in mind, they're not going to give fucking Atlus a break on it cause they want to port it.

It has to need the camera or move. Straight up.

It'll be Zen/Pqube in Europe, I assume. Better get those imports planned.

That's one of the few positives of the Sega purchase.
IF there is a western version Sega will publish it themselves and it will probably be released in US/EU at the same time. At least that's what i think.

I would think the slave thing would reference to persona. You are a slave to your emotions and dark side and to be free, you must unlock your persona
 
ngl i'm more excited about the idea of atlus finally moving the hell away from p3/p4 than playing the actual game itself

EDIT: Having said that I'd be happy if P5 had a similar tone to the likes of P2. Although I started with P4 and liked it to an extent, to me the series was at its best with the first two installments. There were some things which were done a lot better of course in the latter two games so my biggest hope is to see a positive blend of all this.
 
So do you think Persona 5 is going to heavily feature the cast of P3/P4, or do you think theirs storylines are going to be tied up in Arena 2?

I'm honestly not sure which one I'm hoping for...
 
I wonder how they'll fit an up-beat ost into the game. I love p4's soundtrack. Though the game might not be as dark/serious as I'm thinking it'll be.
 
Any chance of a 360 version?
Edit: Not trying to port beg, just wondering if they'd leave the 360 announcement for Atlus USA or if this was it.
E3 2007. You want to relive that madness? Maybe we could even get a new copy pasta out of it though.

Hm, I'm hoping for neither of those aside from some cameos.

Well played ATLUS but I ALMOST DIE in that streaming thread.

Nah, even they have to know that they are pushing their luck with 3 cross over games.
 
Winter 2014 is crazy late for a PS3 game as big as P5. Also, it'll take even longer to get localization for NA and Europe. Here's hoping that there's a cross platform version.

They've been working on it for years before the PS4 was even announced. I never thought they were going to announce it for the PS4 given that they didn't have the dev tools at the time
