[Quonny]

I have dozens of games to catch up on so it's a big old whatever.

 

[hughesta]

Okay adding new VO is great and is worth the delay.

 

[Gbraga]

Okay adding new VO is great and is worth the delay.

Now they have to delay it again to add those lines to the japanese track. Kappa

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Kind of hope for really simple PS4 Pro implementation like higher resolution with the extra time, but I am pretty sure the reasons for this delay are only applying to the localization team and the core development team in Japan is wrapped and not doing additional work. I also think that since the game has released in Japan, the Sony Pro mode mandate doesn't apply to Persona 5? It certainly doesn't need Pro bells and whistles, but it would be kinda nice to even have simple implementation of Pro features.

 

[TetraGenesis]

It's a fucking localization!

How do you fuck up this badly??

 

[PAULINK]

I have dozens of games to catch up on so it's a big old whatever.

yeah, every time I see a delay I am relieved. More time to save up money.

 

[Jarmel]

Hopefully that means they're going to fix the font issues.

Delayed to 2018 because you asked.

 

[Kouriozan]

With this delay, surely Atlus can localize it to EFIGS, right, right?!!
Yeah... it's never ever happening again...

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Apparently they are aware of the bad pronunciation in some lines "My name is Ryuji Sekemohtou" and they are recording them again.

Honestly, what kind of Pro features would you even want out of a PS3 game?

 

[Jiraiza]

Is dual audio finally becoming a norm these days? Now I don't have to waste money on imports anymore.

 

[DJChuy]

I got the email from Best Buy about the release date change

Ah well. This gives me more breathing room to play Resident Evil and Kingdom Hearts properly. Let's think positive.

 

[Quonny]

Plus more time for complete English trophy guides to come out because I'm sure it has a bunch of super obscure trophies.

 

[Thoraxes]

Holy fuck they did it.

I just jumped up and did a fist pump in the break room at work and got looked at weird.

Fuck yessssss

I ain't even sad about the delay.

 

[Firestar]

Damnit, this is like, right before exams...

 

[Skux]

Fuck you atlus, now it's even closer to mass effect.

Assuming Mass Effect comes out on time lol

 

[datwr]

Broken heart with another delay, thats that valentines date gone

Still very happy with the performance of the english game tho!

 

[Ran rp]

judge for yourself

Just Gravity Rush and Kingdom Hearts for me. Interested in Nier but I never played the original.

 

[Benzychenz]

This is because you guys complained about the font.

 

[Quonny]

This is because you guys complained about the font.

Worth.

 

[kadotsu]

Assuming Mass Effect comes out on time lol

Mass Effect will come out on time even if some of the content isn't ready for launch. They can simply cut it out and sell it as DLC later. Worked with DA:I and ME3.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Apparently they are aware of the bad pronunciation in some lines "My name is Ryuji Sekemohtou" and they are recording them again.

I'm still amazed by that.

 

[Luigi87]

I'm okay with the delay!
Now my February belongs to Horizon!

... plz don't let that be delayed...

 

[Jb]

Honestly, what kind of Pro features would you even want out of a PS3 game?

Reduced load times + >1080p resolution would be nice. Nothing essential but that's some stuff they could do to make the game pop even more.

 

[True Fire]

A delayed game is eventually good, a game with a bad font is bad forever.

Or however the saying goes

 

[Big Green Anus]

Hopefully Nier comes out in February to minimized this loss.

 

[legendaryskitch]

God dammit. If this is a delay for dual audio that's fucking stupid. I just want to play the game. Been waiting for persona 5 since 4 came out 8 years ago...

 

[TheKingOfPain]

I love multi-audio, but thia sucks.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Hopefully Nier comes out in February to minimized this loss.

Nier is most likely not coming out in February worldwide.

In Japan it is though.

 

[Kaztinka]

yup, that's me

 

[Gentleman Jack]

It's a fucking localization!

How do you fuck up this badly??

It's also a complete reversal of their original plans. Surely you understand that this entails new, additional development work. 5 months doesn't really seem like that much time to add, test, and certify such a substantial feature.

 

[the_sun_king]

God dammit. If this is a delay for dual audio that's fucking stupid. I just want to play the game. Been waiting for persona 5 since 4 came out 8 years ago...

It's not.

 

[TuXx]

This is because you guys complained about the font.

The font was just a placeholder. That wasn't actual dubbed gameplay.

 

[Ray Down]

yup, that's me

Since when was Falk attached to Persona 5?

 

[Strimei]

God dammit. If this is a delay for dual audio that's fucking stupid. I just want to play the game. Been waiting for persona 5 since 4 came out 8 years ago...

From what I've read its some further localization stuff, some new lines being dubbed (that weren't voiced in Japanese), and the like.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

April 4th in US or japan?

 

[hohoXD123]

April 4th in US or japan?

It's already out in japan

 

[the_sun_king]

April 4th in US or japan?

NA & EU. Japan already got this game on September 15 this year.

*sigh*

 

[xxracerxx]

That's cool, I can wait.

 

[Innolis]

I don't even care, dual audio for the game is the best news I've heard all day

 

[Qurupeke]

WAIT WAT

FUCK

Dual Audio is good news though.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

I remember when I thought Winter 2014 was so far away. Fucking Atlus. They practically skipped an entire generation and still can't get this game out.

 

[hohoXD123]

NA & EU. Japan already got this game on September 15 this year.

*sigh*

Wouldn't be surprised if EU gets delayed even further. Thank fuck for region free though.

 

[boredandlazy]

Sucks, but I'll live. And Atlus adding in dual audio is nice.

 

[Tirod]

I'm still plodding through the JP release; I definitely feel bad for you guys having to wait any longer (it's so good) but you'll have access to JP voices now! The acting is fantastic and it's always nice to have options! Even if you think you won't use it, try giving it a shot.

Hopefully Atlus USA hits their April date, one of my friends is devastated right now.

 

[Darkman M]

Might as well add a PS4 Pro patch while they are at it.

 

[HotHamBoy]

I remember when I though Winter 2014 was so far away. Fucking Atlus. They practically skipped an entire generation and still can't get this game out.

Well, they did get the game out... in Japan.

But we got Catherine last gen!


Anyway, this was gonna be my B-Day gift to myself. Guess it's Horizon, then.

 

[kaiwing]

Damn, on one hand it's a two month delay, on the other hand it launches on my birthday so I guess that's my birthday present to myself.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Alright, gives me more time to play everything else
