Persona 5 Premium Event teases seven new announcements
- Thread starter Moskalova
- Start date
What a bold guess.

To be fair, there is a ninja, a mythical pope and a lovecraft creation in the party. At this point, Sherlock would make more thematic sense than any of these guys.

To take a stab in the dark: 1 is a new trailer. 2 is Goro's character profile. 3 is Japan-exclusive stuff? 4 is more detail on co-operation. 5 is more info on the Morganamobile. 6 is anime info and release date and 7 is PS4 exclusive content? (though I'm sure it's been said each version has the same content)
Goemon was an actual thief, though. And while you're right that Atlus has seemingly been really lax with their criteria, I just don't see a character with a history of actively opposing thieves making the cut.

I don't want to speculate too much, because Atlus has not given enough information on his background. But in response to your doubt, I'd say that "the enemy of my enemy" is a fairly common trope; a foil working together toward a common goal.

Please be true. Even if it's Japanese I will play it until Feburary.

If there's any sort of demo it's most likely one of a demo event that Sony organizes for various developers in Japan. But #7 being a SE controller of console makes sense as well.
Persona 4 + 3 announcements?
I am expecting enhanced ps2 on ps4 titles to get people around the world ready for persona 5
Not happening.

It would soften the blow of waiting till Feb 2017.

Yes please.
Well, Japan isn't waiting very long so that doesn't matter.

It's going to be a big fat pile of nothing.
Maybe a trailer with ten seconds of new footage if we're lucky.
Don't work yourselves up over this.

So what?
Just like I have done with the Yakuza Zero demo!

Atlus Japan doesn't care about us. Lol.
I don't really get the idea of people working themselves up. I haven't really seen anyone talking about anything unreasonable aside from maybe a Persona 3+4 port which people have talked about coming for ages. Worst comes to worst, the whole game comes out in two months, so it's not like a few months ago where we didn't even know the release date.
I wouldn't be so sure. Seems like easy money
100% not happening.

I would actually be cool with a SMT Go lol. Who doesn't want to negotiate with AR demons?
Can you elaborate?
Out of macca and life in 5 seconds.
Sure. Well, aside from the fact that this has been a point of discussion for around 6 years now where people have been convinced there'd be a remaster for HD consoles:
1. P Studio would very likely be handling the remaster themselves and not outsourcing the work to another studio, given their history. Also given their history, the game would be much more than a simple remaster, because they like to add content to add value. This is especially important when we would be talking about the 3rd version of Persona 4 and the 4th version of Persona 3. The main part of P Studio (Hashino's crew) has been focusing on Persona 5 for a very long time; they wouldn't have had the mindspace or the resources to be bothering with a project like that.
2. The game comes out in 2 months in Japan. They won't be releasing a P3+P4 port in that time frame to prepare for Persona 5; that is incomprehensibly insane. They won't be releasing that kind of port solely for the Western audience's wait period because that is also incredibly unlikely. They could release the game at a date after the Japanese release, but it wouldn't be soon after the launch of Persona 5, and probably wouldn't hit until 2017 at the earliest.
3. Kind of tying back to point 2, there is a very clear breaking point when it comes to series attention now that Persona 5 is impending. It will be unlikely to, from now, see any Persona project announced that does not in some way tie into Persona 5 directly.

Yeah, it's just like that phone app in Devil Survivor. What could possibly go wrong?

Usually when we say "easy money" on this forum, we don't actually think about how much money it would make or the effort involved.
^Flux gets it.
Ps2onps4 would be the least amount of effort. Nothing needs to be remastered from the ground up. They also probably know that they can't milk the p3 and p4 fanbase any further by starting to add new content and releasing another remaster for a high price. This is is the easiest way.
Also you may want to not sound like an insider by saying something is not happening 100% btw lol.
I'm with you. But I believe he's referring to the PS2-on-PS4 releases that have been happening lately where they literally just take the PS2 code, inject trophy support, stuff it in a software emulator and sell it on PSN. If you think even that is unlikely due to Atlus's historical record then that's fine, but I just think you're on different pages.
I also don't think it's out of the realm of possibility -- once P5 is firmly in the rear-view mirror -- that they do in fact go back to P3 and P4 one last time (P4 being a particularly low hanging fruit)
Oh I totally disagree. The amount of awareness the series has had following P4G and leading up to P5 seems to be immense. But maybe I'm colored by my own hype here
Edit: also this is such a tired subject for Persona threads that I already regret participating in this discussion
What.
It's not happening 100%, how much you choose to try to justify it. This is the same conversation that's been had for forever. People like to grasp at straws so much, they think blurry letters in preview trailers are a hint that a Persona 3 + 4 collection is incoming.
And what do you mean nothing needs to be remastered from the ground up? You know that Persona 3 and Persona 4 are PS2 games?
Edit: Oh sorry, I see that you're saying what kenta is in the first paragraph. Still, I stand by my opinion that there's no way they'll dedicate any time in the coming days to something like that. It just doesn't fit what they've been doing.
This could definitely happen, though I don't actually see it happening soon either.
But a standalone collection announced at this event? It's really not happening.
You do realize Sony is releasing ps2 titles on ps4 up rendered with some emulation and trophy support right? I personally don't care if they release it or not as I already played both on vita. I am just saying it is possible but carry on getting upset for no reason
Where do you see me saying anything about a collection? I clearly said ps2onps4
Oh for sure. This is a P5 event, end of story. I'm just saying that these theoretical ports of P3/P4 happening at some point is not an outrageous idea
Yeah, I just got that that's what you meant, but I also see this in the same vein as a remaster collection release. Within two months of the game's JP release? Nah, this is a full on Persona 5 event.
I dunno, I feel like this is what people have been saying for years now. There's something about the port talk that gets weird when it comes to the Persona games. I feel that at this point, activity in that regard are very much diminishing returns with all of the ports and the millions of sales they've had over the years, so something like that must be at the bottom of the barrel in terms of their priorities.
I see where you're coming from, but, like... let's take P3 for example. They keep doing P3 movies, and P3 manga, and P3 concerts and stuff (your very own site is what keeps me informed about all this!), not to mention P4A and Persona Q. If someone were to have their interest piqued by one or more of these things, and they have an interest in playing the actual P3... what are their options? They're all crappy. I can absolutely see how they could justify taking the time to do a definitive version of P3 on a modern console and then periodically re-releasing that for years and years
I certainly see the value in yet another P3 remake (even though I'm personally against, I think my bias against the endless remake loop is why I might become unreasonably dismissive at the idea) considering the content of P3FES and the presentation of P3P, but I think the idea of it completely flew away when they had their "Persona 3 The Movie Finale Event" earlier this year and nothing was announced there.
How I see Persona 5 is a distinct culmination point. They've been having Persona 4 dancing games, Persona 3 cafe collaborations, Persona 4 Arena stage shows, manga adaptations, fashion collaborations, pachinko machines, etc., etc.
The thing though, is that I feel like Persona 5 is a straight up cut off point. None of that stuff is happening or has been announced to happen after September 15. Once September hits, I think everything makes way for the new thing, and it'll be that way until Persona 6. The asterisk here, though, is the fact that this year is the series' 20th anniversary, with events looking back at the whole thing (but, again, those events will also be tying back into P5).
I have to wonder just how well a new remake or a collection would actually do; if it's even worth the time to do it. 'Course, it matters less when we're talking about something like PS2-on-PS4, which would probably require minimal levels of work (even though it took a while for Persona 4 to get on PSN).

Yeah, it 2 months, man!
It's finally happening!
Why would P5 be a cutoff point for previous games when P4 wasn't a cutoff point for previous games either? I mean, they released remakes of P1 and P2 after P4 was released... Why would that change for P5?
If we're talking about how we see it, though, I'll relate what I see to what Square has done with some Final Fantasy releases, particularly FF3 and FF4. They took the time to remake them seemingly one last time ("definitively"), then they've been porting those remakes to every platform they can -- and they've seen success. I think it makes a lot of sense for Atlus to do the same with Persona. I just wish it didn't take them so dang long...
Yeah, I've been thinking about that when I've been saying it, but I think the important element here is time. It's been an 8-year waiting period, and I think the underlying sentiment of "let's move on" has not only permeated through segments of the fanbase, but the development team as well.
Well, that and the fact that it would be P3's fourth release and P4's third release. Square is a good comparison, but they're also a much larger company. It'd be one thing if Sega or some other company was handling that kind of development, but Atlus themselves?
Heh, well you're right, this has been coming up in basically every Persona topic (for years), and it's going to continue being brought up for a long while now. Maybe it'll eventually happen, though I can see the two distinct teams at P Studio moving on instead and leaving the idea further behind as time goes on.
