Atlus, don't act like she doesn't exist please D:

in regard to sim dating aspect, I thought they should improve it. A mix between original P3 and P4. I mean, dating all girls available without fear of consequences is stupid, so does unable to proceed your social link because the relationships ended up as romantic while you don't wish it to.
I agree.

Also, if it is really a more mature/dark game, it could finally give people the option to date boys as well (when playing as one) and date girls (if there is a new FeMC).
 
I guess you also missed my later comment that things change. Yes, it is the safest bet, which is why it moved back to PS3 earlier in the year. This game has had some issues, and the development difficulties and presumably the Index financial situation caused them to change platforms. All of the ups and downs with this game are the reason why I've been pretty quiet the last few months, because different details kept changing.

Wait, I don't know if we will get an answer on this but are you implying that this game was originally in development for PS4 in concern to "moved back"? Wow.
 
4 Persona games announced today? P5, ChibiP34, P4A: Nobody Asked for this, and Dancing Party?

Only 3 games. P4A: I Did Ask For This Because They Announced The Best Character Ever (Which Will Make Spoilers Even Harder To Avoid When It Comes To P4) has obviously been announced for awhile now considering it officially hits japanese arcades in a few days.

Whats is the lowest price point P4G has reached? and what are the chances of it being Free with PS+?

I believe I bought it at $20 with a PS+ sale? But yes, I'd be surprised if it didn't get free especially with these P4 fan service games coming out in the near future.

There's that, But there's also the fact that you'd need to do like, 5 playthroughs to see all the romance outcomes.

Hmm my guess it was either on Vita or PS4 first.
 
Have you built up a strong line of credibility over the last five years with regard to exactly this sort of thing like Aeana has?

Because if not, I'm gonna believe her on this one.
I never claimed anything, and even "credible" people can be wrong you know. Seriously, you're telling me Atlus waited a whole generation to make the game just to switch to PS4 development before the console is even out? Considering their history on past games, does this seem plausible? Unless Sony money-hatted them, thats probably the most bone headed decision they could make.
 
'kay, well you guys have fun.

I don't understand how you went to bed and missed it, it has been the biggest trolling in the history of videogames.

Edit: whops, I read it wrong, I think you said "you guys had fun" commenting on the countdown thing, sorry.
 
Don't know why Persona 4 and now 5 release on old tech when new tech is available. This game would move a lot of consoles. I'm not saying make it a PS4 exclusive, but surely a port must be a fairly simple process. By the time Persona 4 came out, a lot of people weren't really interested in playing a PS2 game. It must have had some sort of impact on sales.

Anyway, end rant. Persona 3 and 4 are my all time favourites. I'm officially hoping that 'Winter 2014' means Atlus is ready to release this in a couple months...even though it must mean next Christmas. Loving the red motif.
 
YESSSS will preorder whenever available

lol at people who sold their last gen consoles. i always enter every gen late

Can't wait for the 3ds game either

The Atlus of 2012 was not the Atlus of 2006.
 
Fantastic news but I'll be holding out for a PS4 port as I know I'd just end up double dipping when/if it comes. I currently own three copies of Persona 3. :(

Japan tends to be slow to adopt new home console tech so it is projected that the PS3 market will be bigger then the PS4 market in japan at this time. I expect the western market will have mostly adopted the PS4 at this point but they aren't selling to the english market.

As far as the red motif, bets on the name of the definitive version? My guess is either Crimson or Blood(y) depending on the tone of the game.
 
To be fair, there's always a shot that a cross-gen release is still in the cards. Sony might be asking them to announce it at a PS4 event since they're pretty low on Japanese stuff thus far.

Long shot, but a chance. I'm good either way.

So it was a PS4 game? They should go cross gen with Persona 5.

I know it's just a rant, but being the stickler in the mud, here: the bolded concerns Atlus how? They're a game development company; as much as having a viable and healthy console ecosystem for the next generation would be good for them, they don't really have any interest in promoting console sales. They just want to make sure that they target consoles that will see good return.
 
would have loved to see it on PS4, just as a reason to definitely buy one, but it was not like I was planning on throwing my PS3 away anyways.

But yeah... thats a solid year into a new console cycle.
 
You know, we only ever got a PS1 and PS2-level Persona (I guess PSP Persona 3 would be closer to what a 3DS persona would look like). Now we're going to get a PS3 level Persona, that should be a nice jump. Even though they're not using the engine in Catherine, that's still a good indication of what is possible for the game to look like at full scale - and that still excites me.

And IF the game was on Vita or PS4 and moved, there is no reason why a version still can't come out for those platforms once this one is successful. It just means a longer wait.

Everybody wins in the end. Persona for everybody!

Except that weird dancing game. Fuck that shit.
 
Smart. Cuz from what I heard, it lines up exactly with what Aeana said.

For those of us who don't follow all of the Persona community posts, are you saying that P5 was rumored to be on PS4 at some point, or that it was being developed for some entirely different platform?

perhaps announced with new info at the ps4 jpn launch.
would be a good fit.

I'm assuming a port to PS4 wouldn't be a difficult process, based on what other developers have said. Releasing on two consoles would probably result in more copies sold...so in the short term it's good news for Atlus.

Devil's advocate being that they could probably release an enhanced next-gen port down the road and sell even more than if it was multi-gen at launch. Anyways, I guess it's not even worth talking about at this point.
