Persona 5 announced for PS3, winter 2014
- Thread starter Persona7
- Start date

He direct Persona series since 3 and Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.
I imagine Dojima just kicking the shit out of people's personas bare-handed.
Also, obligatory. There are P4 spoilers in there, probably.
*raises hand* Make that shit university at least. I'm tired of the romantic sub-plots ending with "oh senpai, this is so embarrasing, I've never even been in a boy's room before!" Virgins are great and sexy and all that and I get it but give a background where it would make sense to have some experienced women too.
That will be disappointing then. I mean, I love P3 and P4, but I feel like I'm done with the high school setting. After Catherine, I feel the devs have so much more to offer than another high school story, with typical teenage characters.
PS4 was definitely there yes.

Hell fucking yes 
so bought day one on ps3, though I hold out hope that they are just waiting until the ps4 launches in japan before announcing that version (I wan to believe....)

That's a weird date ... Often Winter 2014 is considered between the end of December 2013 and March of 2014 ... So, we may be seeing it sooner than you think.
Preeeeeach!

I'm perfectly fine with PS3 game even if it arrives 2015 in US/EU but I hope they get the next title out faster like with P4 and that would be for next gen, even if it is just PS3 level graphics juiced up.
P5 2014 for PS3 and P6 2016 for PS4 believe.

Don't worry Vita is getting Persona 5: Platinum in late 2015.*

just kidding that's for 3DS
Well, there's now multiple people here with insider knowledge saying that the game was in development for PS4 at least at some point in time. So that's something I guess.
More like 2017.
It'll be my first Persona. I will look forward to it.
To summarise: an idea of PS3/PS4, to PS3 only for now, and PS4 and other platforms in the future if they're able.
Some people got one part of info, some got the other part, at different times, and then that's likely where the conflicting reports came. And you got the back and forth. I was told Persona 5 on PS4 when I didn't even know what Persona was. Someone else a few weeks later told me it was actually PS3. From that, there's where I ended up learning what had happened.
This is part of what these guys do though, I imagine. They're not going to get 100% concrete information all the times. Sometimes, it can be a jigsaw. Different pieces, at different times, but it's not fit correctly.
Edit:
Also, Vita please continue being the son no one wants! Dancing game. I don't even...why do you exist?!
To be fair, I think the entire behind the scenes GAF Persona saga is a simple misunderstanding. They obviously got good information though as they seemed to know Persona is a PS exclusive when a lot of people on GAF were expecting multi-platform.

Q1 2015 sounds likely unless the miracle happen and it's almost a worldwide release in Q4 2014.
Vita already dead at that point.
I mean, that makes sense and that was my first thought too but ignoring the easily capable cross-platform seems silly especially if they already have some PS4 work done. Sure, the japanese market is more important here and the PS3 will sell more to them but they know they get some profit from the western market as well why not spring for the bit extra to get it going cross-platform since they'll be releasing over here once the PS4 is in full effect for most people.

Yes! YES YES YES!
I'm guessing it is. I've only played P3 and P4.
Is your gut telling you before or after winter?
*chuckle* I like you.
I think there is merit in your explanation but I think that's one side of it. I don't think it takes insider knowledge to deduce what was happening and what was going on. On the flipside, or an addition to your explanation, about the information hiccups is that people properly deduced what was going on and there were some details that were incorrect. This conflicted with what was actually true and gave a skewed idea/perception of what was going on in regards to the game.
After. Always after for the best bet.
Noooooo. Persona 3 Platinum in 2015 for Vita. Believe. :-D
How US got it sooner than Japan?

I absolutely agree. Catherine was a breath of fresh air.

I'm really liking the red color scheme. We all knew Persona 5 was coming, I wish we got a real ingame trailer 
To me, it sounds like it was a Vita or Wii U game (with 90% the former), but when they saw these things crashing and burning, they went back to PS3.
I don't know how it could have been a PS4, since nothing changed there. Same for 3DS -- sales in the West are below expectations, but far from panic inducing.
This assumes a situation without interference from platform holders.
same here. sucks having to buy a console so long after its release and with the next-gen already out.
I hope they announce a Vita or PS4 version.

Both Persona 4 and Catherine came out in North America five months after their Japanese releases. I expect something similar for P5. They could even release it before the end of March if they want it to come out before the end of their fiscal year.
LOL. No. This was definitely not the case. You're definitely in the wrong on this one from what I heard.
I agree. Predictable teenagers and their hormones is getting tiring. At least change it up with Colllege or something.
I know right? Especially when this game will be overseas in 2015 most likely.
Because Winter 2014 runs until March 2014.
Remember, Persona 4 was announced March 2008 then released in Japan July 2008 then in the US December 2008. Atlus has REALLY short lead times between announcements and releases. Look at P4: Arena, too.
No hormones in the college, no sir!
