Don't worry, they will release SMT IV there when Persona 5 hits NA.
Persona 5 announced for PS3, winter 2014
- Thread starter Persona7

Is SMT x FE even still a thing?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Would be nice if Atlus USA jumps on this one soon-ish.
I imagine I can pick up a cheap PS3 by Q1 2015 for this game

Since Sega bought Atlus, what is the chance of a Steam release?
Non if i say so myself
Why wouldn't it be?

None. Or at least, far less than the chance it will be localized, if I say so myself.
I donno but what I've heard here is that it is actually done by Nintendo, so I think development cost or work force won't be any issue.
Since when has nintendo kept up with the technological curve? But who knows. I get the feeling that Sony is not out of the portable gaming market, but they are probably not going to do another dedicated handheld as such. They tried to make PSM a thing on their Xperia's(Which sold well enough) and it flopped worse than Vita, but I don't think they've given up on that space for gaming though.

Zero, considering Sega would probably coax them for a 360 release first if they really wanted.

Glad I bought my PS3 this year. Definitely glad now.

I think the chances of it not coming to the west are absurdly slim.
Anyway, in case of it not coming, maybe people will come up with fan translations. Though I am not sure you can apply the patches in a game without illegal methods :/
As much as I would love that I would say there is a very slim chance(probably close to zero) of that happening.
Maybe it's like a mix between people becoming shadows in Persona 2 and lost ones in persona 3, they become mind controlled zombies?
Or perhaps the characters of Persona 5 are in some way enslaved to their persona's after they awaken.
Also, I
and probably everyone else
Half-life 3 confirmed?

I'm worried we won't see Persona Q in NA. I'm really digging that title.
Atlus is bringing Conception II over. We'll get Persona Q, don't you worry.
Every time a new Persona game is announced, people worry that it won't get localized.
Every time, the Persona game gets localized.

Eternal Punishment for the PSP wasn't. Unless you are not counting ports.
Ah, you're right. A change in circumstances this time, but I have faith.
Ports... sure. That one's an exception for so many reasons, though. I'm mostly talking about all new titles.
I don't know, maybe cause a darker Persona game that still manages to retain its unique social interactions will always have a bigger potential audience than Waifusona. Remember that Catherine managed to sell on par with P4 despite being a new IP, all while tackling more mature themes. That and Hashino going on record about wanting to shake things up in the next numbered title.
I mean, I get why sticking to what worked well in the past 7 years makes sense from a financial standpoint, but the vibe I'm getting from that teaser feels like a substantial departure from P4.
Ooooooo Personas as a curse. I like it. I like it a lot. An interesting, different approach from what we've seen before. Would be a good way to change things up.

I hope both Q and Dancing get a localization.
Q looks cool, and the Dancing even more so--I love the animation.
I have a feeling that the slave here means more to stuff like social media-slave. That kind of thing.

I keep forgetting that's a thing.
3 years from now that wouldn't be anywhere near top of the line and Sony may try another phone.
That's a point. Conception II was announced recently and releases around the same time Persona Q does, so I'd assume Sega at least was partially involved in letting it go through. Keep in mind Sega localized Hatsune Miku of all things.
Also, considering Persona Q is coming to 3DS, and as such there's a good install base there, so this is a fairly safe game to greenlight. Now what's questionable is P4: Dance. Frankly, I don't care if it gets localized, but if sega is willing to localize it, it's a good sign.
It's Persona, even if it's a spinoff. It's the biggest asset in Atlus's catalogue. They'll bring it over.

Glorious news! Further evidence that a PS3 is the only console I need for the foreseeable future, as if Dark Souls II wasn't evidence enough.
Reeeally surprised this is an exclusive.
Reeeally surprised this is an exclusive.
This doesn't seem likely, given that the series has established that
a Persona is that individual's subjugated Shadow; their power is beholden to the user, not the other way around
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
They didn't bring over Eternal Punishment PSP. :T
Why not both? Persona loves having a bunch of different layers to whatever the major theme of the game is. Look at the momento mori stuff in P3. That manifested itself in a ton of different ways throughout the game, some more symbolic than others. I'd bet this enslavement theme shows up in several ways.
That's a Persona 4 only thing... isn't it?

Even P3 established that
Personas and Shadows are the same thing
the mastermind wanting to convert the P3 and P4 crews' Personas back into Shadows and claim them for himself
The "continuity" in the Persona series doesn't mean crap. The rules of P3 are far different than P4 and P1 and P2 are even further removed,though
to be fair, the reasons for that are definitely explained
Yeah, and then there's also the fact that it's all linked to Jungian theory with which it all makes sense.
My bad, you're right.
Then there's that. I'd say that the canon matters for what they've established in the P3 and P4 universe, but I guess they could start off with a clean slate via P5 if they wanted to.
Wouldn't think it'd be a totally separate world, though. They do make it a point to make it seem like all of the games take place in the same world.

Very happy it's on PS3. It's going to look awesome and I don't have to buy a new system.
twist the knife in the wound
They've been pretty consistent going from P3 to P4 to P4A. But indeed, it doesn't rule out the possibility of potentially having another continuity aside from the two already established (P1 --> P2:IS and P1 --> P2:EP --> P3 --> P4 --> P4A).
The good thing about Persona is it's a very art focused series. The visual bump they'd get from better hardware like the PS4 would be noticeable, but not completely game changing like the jump to HD is. Honestly, as long as the system it's on has a decent base amount of power (IE, not 3DS) the game is going to look just fine.
Is there a reason they can't go back to the P1/P2:IS Universe? I honestly don't remember P2's story all that well to know if that world would for some reason be completely unavailable. Could be a way to separate P3/P4 and P5 without coming u with another kind of dumb splinter universe plot.

I dig the idea of a darker Persona just to see how Atlus would handle the social links. I love that aspect of P3/4, but I'd like to see the relationships (romantic or not) having a more mature aspect to them. Also, I think it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce gay/lesbian relationships in the series.
My feelings exactly.
Arena's storyline kinda poked at that theory though, and Strega.
Consider, the mastermind in arena was trying to make powerful shadow's from the cast's persona's. Now, the dark hour and the midnight channel(Izami made the rules) world were contained and had certain rules governing the persona's that may not be true in 5. Also, see Strega from 3 where their Persona's were trying to kill them if they didn't take meds. A continuation of any of these things could lead to a pretty dark plot in 5.
Yep, no reason a new persona can't be more mature, but also keep links. If anything, the one thing I've heard from people who like the series is they want links in, but to make them deeper. This sounds like a two birds with one stone situation.
And with Catherine's take on relationships, yeah, they can go as deep as they really want to. It was obvious that while Golden added more "fun" scenes, "deep" was never something they strove for in terms of relationships. Hell, the whole "ball and chain" motif works with a serious relationship too ya know.

Though I agree with the general sentiment that the Persona team can/will change the rules governing Personas and Shadows whenever it suits them (they've done it before), I don't necessarily agree that Strega disproves anything.
Their personas misbehave because their artificially created.
