Atlus's Persona event was the best hype-train I road from the start to the sweet end.

I thought you disliked Nintendo in general? It's good that you have seen the light. Best system for games out there since the DS.

Don't worry. SMT5 will be on PS4 funded by all the
Maybe, but if that been quietly announced in Famitsu or something I doubt the fanbase would have gone too berserk.
I'm not really upset by this whole thing. I'm just kinda bummed. I was expecting huge media blowout for P5 and that I would be playing it in less than a year. That's not what I got so I don't think it is outrageous to feel disappointed. I'll still play the game...if my PS3 lasts to to 2015

Anyone actually hyped for P4D?
People would've complained about a spinoff being announced when they want P5.

I'd like to think its one big joke but people are.
PQ I would be somewhat interested in but I can't say I've liked any EO game so I'll probably pass on that.

I was laughing so hard at the P4D reveal I probably woke the dead. A+ would stream monster again.
Eh, this is from the fan base who has been thinking that the next tuesday would be the day for years now. If persona info had dropped out in any way and it wasn't P5 again, idk how people would have handled it.
Imagine if all of us could understand Japanese. How different would it have been?
I think it's great that so many non-Japanese-speaking people had so much fun with the event. I mean, it was clearly not intended for the Western audience. Normally, people wouldn't even be up at that hour, lol.
I mean, I had no idea WTF Teddie was rambling on and on about for like 30 minutes prior to the Persona 5 reveal. Maybe he was a talking about how sweet it would be if John Cena and The Rock were in a Persona game. Maybe he was talking about how SEGA was canceling all Atlus games. Maybe he was talking about Catherine 2 with online multiplayer! I don't know!
I would really like to see all this again with an understanding of Japanese...or if Atlus USA just dubbed and translated it all.

There were an abundance of extremely shameful comments during the first few announcements. (I mean in general, I'm not singling out any specific place.) It was funny at first, but then it just got disturbing.
Everyone's happy now, but it reminded me about a side of gaming that I really do not care for.

Was pretty confident that P5 was going to be announced, so I never lost faith.

I thought "Atlus still got it." Which leads me to my next point:
THEY. STILL. GOT. IT.
In an era of double standard, shrinking domestic sales, hot potato console situation, HD screwups, and messed up priorities, this and few other JRPG series managed to survive at all in a form worth giving a shit about. That is beyond relief.

It was amazing. Atlus trolled us pretty fucking hard throughout the stream. Love how in the Persona Q and Dancing all night threads, the first couple of pages are filled with nothing but "Fuck you Atlus."

I thought they reactions were more stupid than being disturbing, and not exactly that different from other games annuncements.
Since when? The only thing worthwhile out of Nintendo is their handhelds. It's been like that for a decade now. I'm like 95% joke character, don't take my jokes about loltendo so seriously. Even when I'm serious, I may not be serious.
I've even got a Krillin now. I didn't buy it though; I promise. It was given to me. Forced on me. I have X next year so something to look forward to at least.

Not even kidding, so did I! Hahahaha. I meant to wake up at 5:50, but I kept sleeping my cell phone alarm (subconsciously, mind you) until I finally woke up maybe an hour later, saw the Gaf headlines, then went back to sleep. Hahaha

You should have read twitch chat. So many bitter tears until the end lol. Only looking forward to P5. Gotta admit, that spinoff on the 3DS was great troll material. Meh at the dancing game. Both those games got way more air time than the brief announcement of P5.

The event was amazing. I'm wasn't even able to catch the stream but was in the neogaf thread during it all. I felt all of the highs and lows like everyone else.
Needless to say kojima needs to take notes now because atlus just about took his crown.

It was just so much fun. The chat in the stream was ridiculous all through out the presentation couple with Teddie stalling and eventually getting kicked off the stream I was laughing the entire time.
And yet, some people are still trying to argue they "sold out" with some of these announcements. These games aren't sacred cows.

It was a wonderful reveal, Atlus showed they are masters of trolling. I laughed so much.

YEAR OF LUIGI FOREVER. (I can't bring myself to change it cause it's obviously so meticulously and masterfully made, and absolutely not drunkenly slapped together in MSpaint.)
I just needed affirmation that P5 is eventually coming on PS3. Everything else was just icing on the cake.

It's best case scenario, easily. We could be looking at no game and lots of vapid microbilkment iOS stuff. Sega's no longer self-defeatingly dumb any more! Yayifications!
Now, if P5's plot is all vapid fanservice, broken character interaction/development/etc, and easily broken character building, then the sacred cow's on the grill!

We didn't know that Q is made by EO team. So everyone assumed that Atlus is wasting time of Persona team on that monstrocity.
But thankfully it's only waste of time of EO team so nothing of value was lost since they would be pumping out dungeon crawlers anyway.
And dance game probably would get much less hate if we didn't asume it's the only thing we are getting.
I knew Atlus wasn't the kind of company to do something like hype its fans up for P5 and then just announce a dancing game, but that's exactly the kind of shit we've come to expect from certain publishers in this industry. Which is why this event was so effective, but I can absolutely relate to those who were losing hope.
But if you think all of the freakouts were absolutely serious you're either crazy or have never watched a stream before. I was right in there yelling ATLUSSSSSSSSS at every turn, but I wouldn't have got up at 6AM if I wasn't 100% sure we were getting a P5 announcement.

the greatest reveal event in jrpg history.
How someone can say this isn't trolling is beyond me. Altus you beautiful trolling bastards.
Between the downright masterful trolling, the amazing Persona 5 teaser, my twitch stream getting into the top ten, Atlus USA employees and Polygon retweeting my stream, being thanked by an Atlus employee personally, staying up 72 hours, and the sheer awesome insanity that was going both in IRC and on these forums....
I'm pretty sure I'm never going to forget this event. The final announcements weren't even that amazing, but just being there with everyone all hyped up was so memorable.

They should have topped their trolling by announcing Persona 5 exclusively for the iOS. That would make this event the best hype-train road since the School Days anime.

AH FUCK THIS SUCKS. They fucked up the art for 3DS
Fuck you Atlus!
This was fun. Now that Persona 5 has put me back in a normal state of mind Persona Q, Persona 4 Ultimax Suplex and Persona 4 Dancing All Night seem pretty cool. Take my money Atlus.
More roller coaster than train but absolutely worth it. I was surprised when people started losing their minds as we all knew they were going to reveal three games and it made sense for the biggest announcement to go last. Then someone posted the dance game scans and I couldn't believe that we had all been trolled. Such an effective way of announcing a game with just an image!
After the dancing game was announced and it looked like things were winding down...
A MINUTE later after Persona 5 was actually announced.
I believe these two posts sum up the whole "reveal" pretty damn well.
Oh my God, Persona 5 isn't coming!

I had a lot of fun watching the livestream. When the old lady appeared saying "listen to the cheering of the crowds below" and then showing the flyer with all the "Confidential" written on it I was smirking. Meanwhile in the thread someone had posted the first image of Persona Q on 3DS. Eventually its trailer was shown and my heart sank a little. "After all that hype this is all they got?" Then Ryouga tweeted about P4D and I realized they'd be showing multiple games during the event.

By the time Hatsune Yu was announced I was crying from laughter. I was so drained by the end that the P5 announcement barely registered
