Persona 5 getting an announcement on May 5, 2016

I'm calling it, Mid-August release in JP, Early Dec in NA. Gonna miss out on some GOTYs but I'm pretty sure no fucks will be given for anyone waiting for this game including my self.
 
Persona 3 and 4 both had about a 4 month gap between announcement and release (March to July for both). While circumstances are pretty different for Persona 5, it would not be surprising if the release date is September 8th 2016 in Japan.

Poor Persona 5, might have to compete with FFXV. :P
 
Watch it be a countdown to an announcement of a teaser trailer at a later date.

I don't want to hype myself up for a game we in the west probably aren't getting till 2017.

They're madmen so I would not be surprised if it was July or August either.

If we're following this history, does that mean we also get a 15-18 minute Persona 5 trailer on May 5th too? :p

It won't be July. May will be too late to announce and start proper pre-order and marketing campaigns for a July release. There is a buffer that is required for retail orders. August is possible but it really depends on how Atlus wants to market the game up to release.

Maybe. I mean it's not like you need to distribute a DVD with Famitsu these days anymore if you want people to see a long trailer. You could just put it online! 8 years in technological advancements has changed so much.... lol.
 
Haha, just a couple days ago people were all like "oh my hype has dropped. I'm looking forward to FFXV more now" and boom. As soon as a sniff of an announcement is coming, the hype engine revs back.
 
"Due to our wigs being snatched by Square-Enix and Final Fantasy 15, we have decided to delay Persona 5 until 2018. Please look forward to it."

I wouldn't say no to same month release as FFXV, would be the best month of the year easily.

No way I could play both at the same time. I'll just play the first one that releases, play the shit out of it until I'm done with it, take a break, then move on to the next one.

I have no idea how I would handle it but I'd be just happy to look at the covers when I fall asleep.
 
They are announcing the game's setting has moved to an all boy's school in order to compete with the boys road trip antics of FFXV. No more waifus.
 
If Persona 5 is out on Sep 8 and FFXV is out on Sep 29, I don't really see how they're competing with each other directly, especially in Japan. 3 weeks of sales usually represents the majority of an average core blockbuster game's sales.

Me and my friends have been having this convo since the FF15 reveal date. If Persona 5 and 15 came out around the same time P5 gets first priority on my end. FF can wait another month or two lol.

Sony Japan sweating on their bunduru plans. ;p
 
I definitely expect a new trailer with a Japanese release date at the end, which may or may not be within the previously-stated Summer 2016 window.

At least a May announcement opens up Atlus USA to do something at E3. At least...it might.

I think it would have a greater impact outside of Japan, but the effect in Japan is pretty negligible when we're talking about a much smaller core gaming audience who tend to buy stuff at release, finish them quickly, and then some of them sell it off to second hand markets. If we consider that the expected sales for Persona 5 has the upper limit of say... 500-600k at best, and the expected sales of FFXV has the upper limit of say... 1.5 million at best, it doesn't seem like releasing them both in the same month with a 3 week gap will really change those numbers at all.

That's very true. The audience is there and they know the target base. It really would be nice to have a few months in between the releases but, I'm sure it will all pan out well for both companies and market. 2016 (If it makes this year) is looking great.
 
I was gonna complain about having to wait until May 5th, but then I realised that is like 2 weeks.

Persona 5 was delayed to summer 2016. A September release date would mean it was delayed again, as September isn't considered part of summer in Japan as far as I know.
I think August is maybe more likely.
 
Dear Atlus..

Please make it a Worldwide release and don't make us EU wait for a year for it..

Thank you..
 
I very selfishly hope P5 and FFXV are released far apart enough so that I don't have to choose which one to play first.
Or maybe I can play both alternatively as they will be two totally different experiences anyway.
First world problems.

Was just thinking we would near to hear from this one soon or it would indeed be likely 2017.

Sadly though I'm an EU peasant so 2017 is incredibly likely. Unless Sega does what Atlus didn't in the past? Sega? Sega plz?

If you can read English couldn't you just import the US version if you wanted to play it?
