November-December 2014
For some reason I got a Prison feel from the trailer, but wouldn't this exclude one sex from the cast lineup, which is not guna happen.
More like disappointed than surprised.
Winter starts in December 21st. Do you live in the southern hemisphere or something?
I'd buy it without question if it was on PS4. The idea of investing more into games for a last gen console isn't as appealing to me. I don't care if it's the same visuals. I don't want to still be buying PS3 games a year from now.

Hope that it will support DS4.

No jaggies on my waifus.
It sounds more like a rock being thrown to the ground.
Why would they change anything? This is clearly the formula that works best for them and the series, thus why it has become so popular. If you're hoping for anything other than more of the same, then you're probably going to be disappointed.

Err, it's going to take a while before all 80 million+ ps3 owners start moving on to other things. Especially in Japan.
Got to love the entitlement in these threads. Now that people bought their $300 console that's a barren wasteland, or their $400 Knack player, they expect every publisher to release games for them. Sorry, but Atlus didn't tell you to buy those systems. You got them on your own, and now you will have to deal with the lack of software.

We are starting to see Vita versions of games outsell their PSP multiplat counterparts in Japan. Vita has sold about 2M units LTD in Japan. PSP has sold over 20M units.
I think P5 is a PS3 game because the team has been working on the PS3 for some years now. The PS3 will still be active enough in 2014 to support the sort of sales that a Persona game is likely to achieve, so why bother switching platforms?
PS4 could use more third party exclusives, I think a lot of folks were hoping this might be one regardless of what platform it started development on.
Personally I'm more than happy with PS3, closing out a console fits the m.o. for the series and stretching that team out too thin sounds like a mistake, it's taken a while just to get here. Port isn't out of the realm of possibility but the inevitable P5 FES/Golden edition that actually takes advantage of new console features sounds like a more likely plan of attack.

Nooooo, FeMC needs more love D:

So do those look like office chairs to anyone else? I know we have been stressing the importance of high school social life over that of college/working life in Japan, but I can really see them going with a "slave to a dead end job" thing for the theme.
Or I'm totally off. I haven't played a Persona game before and I'm really excited for this.

Again, the PS4 userbase will in no way be bigger than the PS3's in 2015.

By the time this comes out next year, you'll probably be able to get one off craigslist for the price of a new game.

Social links maybe?
lol, by the time P5 comes out most games will be releasing on PS4. Have you never experienced a console transition?
iirc it was already said that the difference in P5 would be significant much like how P3/P4 was from P1/P2. And to that I say good, good on them for trying other things and keeping it fresh.

Actually yeah. maybe I am talking too much about the west considering how most of Persona sales still come from Japan and there PS3 definitely is more logical choice (especially with delayed PS4 release). Maybe it will get cross gen port for west though.
No, I live in Germany and we usually use the metereological definition, so Winter starts December 1st for me.
It's not about entitlement, I suspect most of us don't even own a PS4, that doesn't mean we don't want it on that console.
Catherine was first announced as 'Winter 2010' and ended up releasing on February 2011, so this will be January/February 2015 most likely.

I am preparing a new FeMC avatar
The last one was a bit ugly. I hope she is, in some way, present in Persona Q, by the way... since Theo is there.Agreed. If they change the P3/4 formula too much, they will receive a lot of backlash.

How will they milk their fanbase if they release the game on handheld from the start? P5P will come out in late 2015 so you can buy the game a second time.
Prison School the game. It's happening guysLooks like a school chair.
Userbase = consoles sold? Because that's a pointless number.

Wouldn't calling winter 2015 make more sense? Why name it winter 2014 when only one month is in 2014 and two months are in 2015?

I remember when P4 came out in 2008, well after this gen started. I suppose it would have done better on the ps3, right?

But will the PS3 userbase still be as active as PS4's in 2015? I doubt it, I still think we could get a PS4 port and I bet that the PS4 port would outsell the PS3 one in the west.
..... Sadly I can see this happen, but in 2-3 years from release not 1.
Exactly. Not everyone is a persona fan. This goes to show why they're not releasing it for the PS4. There is no userbase for it yet because the japanese PS4 has yet to be released. I don't think there are any JRPGs that I know of that would release to the PS4 anytime within the next few months.

All my hype. So glad I don't have to upgrade to PS4 to get this game, since I jumped in the previous gen late I was gonna let my PS3 ride out a few years before jumping to PS4. Great news to me.

Happy for PS3, honestly. Just cause new systems are out doesn't mean they have to completely transition the next day. I don't want a PS4 any time soon.
And with XIII sucking, XV and KH3 moving to PS4, and Microsoft taking some good JRPG exclusives early in the gen, PS3 was kind of a disappointment for JRPGs.
Only Valkyria and Ni no Kuni were very remarkable. P5 will be that swan song JRPG the system always needed. Plus, it's very like Atlus to release a game after the new gen starts. They did that with P4.

Is it? I think it's pretty fair to say that they're will be more people owning a PS3 at the end of 2014 than people owning a PS4
I'm really hoping for a tone like Persona 2's..

I still think that game had the most interesting narrative of all the Persona games, honestly.
