So just discredit the feelings of players even if they're not the mainline trend? Nothing personal, but good to know. I guess I'll just stay quiet since I'm irrelevant.

No? You can chime in all you want, I was just saying that your personal preference is irrelevant to the point I was making.
 
They have a year or more to decide on or announce news regarding a ps4 port/cross gen/iOS/??/simultaneous release. People need to calm the fuck down.

Sure they have time to announce it. Maybe I'm just used to western developers announcing almost straight away if the console is already announced/out. Maybe they want to use a game show of some sort for Japan to announce the PS4 port since Japan still hasn't had it released.

What are the chances of Persona 5 being ported/streamed through Gaikai to PS4?

I'd put that high. It would be a great way for sony to show the use of gaikai.

Gaikai P5 is what I'm hoping. Even with slight lag it's a turn based combat game. I'd so hope for Gaikai as an option, I'd buy the shit out of the service.

Probably a regular school, with some new threat appearing that offers an escape out of the ball-and-chain captivity of such a life. Those who indulge this threat disappear. The heroine must investigate... or something like that.

You can have your heroine, sure. Just like people could choose Chie. Everything is fine.Non-canon works.

I would have never played a Persona or SMT game if there was no Giant Bomb endurance run. Certainly I am not the only one.

I only took a chance on Persona 3 FES on the PSN Store because I recognized the name from the endurance run. That was last year and now its one of my favourite franchises :p.
 
Sales indicate that they don't mind. I'm glad this is on PS3, but the notion that JRPG players hate portables is laughable.

I hate portables. Had a PSP and DS just for RPGs and while the games were good and were the only place I could play them I did not enjoy the experience because they were on portables, I enjoyed the experience despite them being on portables.
 
I never said double sales. I said double the amount of people to sell to. Even being outsold 3:1 they are still leaving that :1 on the table. Of course they will stay niche with that attitude. Fuck, I think they should release the game on 360/PS3/3DS/Vita/XB1/PS4/WiiU but I am crazy like that. I had forgotten about Catharine so they actually have experience on both platforms.

The number of people the game will sell to, is whatever number the Persona fanbase is at. The install base could be 50 million or 100 million, it's not really going to affect a game like Persona's sales. It's going to sell to its niche market as it always does.
 
one would think that the platform announcement would put a stop to the platform discussion and port begging

i guess not

The reason PS4 is brought up so often is because as mods and Verendus have said it was at one time at least planned for it. It seems people want it now that they know the release date is in a year. I think its still up in the air also.

You framed your statement like you were speaking for the majority since you said "JRPG Fans" instead of "I". If you hate portables, that's fine and I'm not going to try to argue that you don't.
 
Sorry I wasn't aware I logged onto Sorian's private blog. I thought this was a discussion forum. You are right about their reasons. I just dont agree with their reasons.

Atlus don't even care!
 
Why? It's way too early in the generation.
Sony could pay for a 1080p 60fps 4XAA PS4 version though... I'd take that.

Not sure how easy that would be to do though, as the architectures are quite different.

It'd be a nice exclusive get for them early on in the console generation when those exclusives matter the most.

Would be some Japanese support that they sorely need on ps4

Also, you know who releases shit in broad strokes like that? Ubisoft, let's not do things ubisoft would do. It'll be better that way. You make it sound like being niche is a bad thing. They know their fan base and they cater to their fanbase. Simple really.

Pretty much what I'm thinking. Especially with sony's 3rd party relations team and lack of Jrpg line-up the first year PS4 is in japan it would be in their best interest to push for it. So I could see them coming to some deal with Atlus over it.

Edit:

I don't think this is the end of the world as a preface, but I would hardly call limiting the consoles you release on as catering to your fanbase so much.
 
Hm, I wouldn't underestimate the effect the Endurance Run had on the series' popularity.

Only reason I'm a fan now is because of it, anyways.

I'm not saying it didn't create any fans. I'm sure it was great free advertising for Atlus. But I just don't think overall it really had a significant impact.

How awesome would it be if they replaced 3 of those chairs with 2 college chairs and one office chair?

Not awesome.
 
Yeah I don't see the issue with PS3 being the platform here. Sure Atlus could have done a PS3/4 release, but why sabotage the PS3 sales when they can release Persona 5: The Crimson a year later on Vita/PS4?

As of now, the PS4 still hasn't been released in Japan, so it makes sense to concentrate on the PS3.
 
Don't get why Vita/Versions aren't announced here as well...Is it more sales to release P5 for just PS3 and then an upgraded version for PS4/Vita?

PS3/Vita both seem like money makers to me..but yeah, cool, I will definitely keep my PS3 around for a while.
 
Well that settles it. I'm finally gonna get a PS3. Even though I saw that coming from a mile away I still have to say it's a complete bonehead decision by Atlus. I understood when they released P4 veeeery late on an then outdated system..but that was the PS2 not the trainwreck that was the PS3 (regarding everything but the library...and man it feels good to speak of the PS3 in past tense) .

I mean Winter 2014? Really?

Btw: This is the last you guys gonna see from me in any Persona 5 related thread until I've finished that game. I'm going on a full media blackout.

Can't wait til some genius spoils something important in a thread header.
 
Finally, we all knew P5 was in development, but with the recent purchase from SEGA and the radio silence from Atlus, it's good to see an ETA. Also it's not really a surprise that it will be released on PS3. I do hope they'll re-use the Catherine engine, it was pretty awesome.

About Atlus's teasing, I'll just quote AtlusAram : We get off on your tears
 
I imagine we'll be seeing more information pretty soon. SMT IV had a Famitsu tease and quiet teaser website for 3 months until the Soul Hackers trailer, and then the 'official reveal' mid-September. Afterwards, information came out at a pretty steady pace until release.

I'm guessing the return of the Persona magazine will have the first details on P5.

Part of the large delay is that the Catherine engine was a play test and they've been building another completely new engine.
 
Hope that Atlus does make P5 for the PS4. If not, have it working on Gaikai next year. I can see why they chose the PS3 though. I wonder if they'll announce a PS4 version if the system has good sales at release in Japan and onward.

I want to see some screenshots or something soon, they've been teasing the game for a long time and now that they've revealed it we have no media!

Gamebryo? I thought they had a new engine for Persona 5.

Yeah why would they release on a system with 80 million sales?
