Lord Bolton is just giving Robb a hug...
Edit:
:lol I would have never notice if you didn't post it...don't think it's a big deal.

In a few months someone is going to spoil P5 in a GoT thread.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

I've come to accept this. I will be playing it march or April. Need to scale back hype. Still excited but being reasonable. Horizon has priority for me now, P5 is likely 60+ hours. I wont get that done in two weeks.

 

[HabeeNo]

Will cop Horizon & Persona next February tho

 

[silva1991]

Here we go again.

How can people even notice those?

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Good with me. There's too many games at the end of this year to begin with so it's good timing. But valentine's day, eh? Okie dokie then.

 

[zackmorris]

This is important. I hate steelbooks.

Looks like only the PS3 version isn't a steel book.

 

[Mediking]

No!!!!!!!!

 

[Verder]

How the FUCK will I be able to avoid spoilers for whole 5 months .

I swear they show final boss names on the side for recommended videos on YouTube and some bitch will spoil it in a Sonic video comment box

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

Damnit. This was pretty much the only game I really wanted this year

 

[MrHoot]

As a european, this is not boding well....

Seriously wondering if P5 will come to europe at the same time, if at all in 2017...or ever

 

[Miggy]

What about Europe?

Um was there new info in there or something?

 

[_woLf]

I just saw the social special edition. And how it's sold out already.

Why the fuck did they just screw over EVERYONE on the fucking west coast? This is infuriating

 

[artsi]

Here we go again.

Can't wait to see the localized PV's at E3!

 

[Zhao_Yun]

SE releasing a AAA game with genre overlap that people all over the world have been anticipating for 13 years that they will also probably ironically re-release not long after as an "international version" in Japan only with some extras and still be able to count on double dipping isn't the same thing as Atlus

Spoiler

(overly conservatively)

trying not to cannibalize their own sales on a franchise where they've come to count on selling more body pillows than copies of the actual game.

How would they cannibalize their own franchise when the US version gets released almost half a year later than in Japan? Do you think Japanese fans would be so eager to wait 5 months just to pay a bit less for the game?
It's not just Square that includes Dual-Audio these days, Bandai Namco, NISA or even Idea Factory manage to do that without any issues. There is really no excuse for Atlus not to.

 

[Immaculate]

Damnit. This was pretty much the only game I really wanted this year

exactly the same here

fucking shit

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

When does Digital preorders go up?

 

[Marmaladefire]

How can people even notice those?

Presumably, Anne's cleavage plays a bigger role in moving the plot forward than Morgana's whole character, so we know which one belongs on the cover /s

 

[Hanmik]

here is the EU cover

 

[Night Angel]

Nooooooooo fuck why.

Dammit, year of delays confirmed.

 

[Skii]

At least NA will get the game lmao.

Atlus have given up on EU. Awful company.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I hope I'm not the only person getting Persona 5 on PS3.

you're not alone

 

[Guess Who]

here is the EU cover

you know, stylize this a bit and it actually wouldn't be half-bad

 

[pirata]

Man...what a bummer. I'm sure that if they could get it out here by the holiday season, they would, so let's not trash the excellent Atlus localizers. You would think all these delays would allow for more localization time, but apparently not. Oh well, maybe I'll actually be able to play the PS4 version by the time it comes out...


But man, the spoilers are going to be brutal.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Um was there new info in there or something?

Now, even after all that, if you still are thinking: “Why 2017!? You promised us 2015, and then 2016! Now it’s 2017?!!!?!” Well, the biggest factor in the 2017 release date is attention to detail. When we show off Persona 5 footage at E3 next week (Next week!), I think you’ll understand what we mean. We’re making sure every bit is in place. Persona has exponentially grown as a franchise, and considering that this is our first numbered sequel since 2008, ATLUS is taking its time to ensure this is the best possible experience.

Since the game actually is making 2016 in Japan, I assume they just need more time to work on the localization. That and avoiding September's elephant in the room.

 

[Jarmel]

If there's dual audio, I could swallow this.

Otherwise why the fuck is it taking this long?

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Its' because of ESRB logo jesus chirst. Not everything is censorship

I was wondering how they will handle the huge German USK logo, but then I remembered that Germany is a EU country

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I see people saying the special edition is gone but was it ever up in the first place? I can't find it

 

[Omnistalgic]

Yeah just like 2016 was going to be insane.

It was...u have some kinda different taste I guess. This year has been fantastic for gaming so far.

 

[Panda Rin]

I guess if you put it into perspective, it's been 16 months since PV01 and 9 months since PV03....8 more months doesn't sound too bad..i guess ..

 

[Mediking]

The CE is gone...... no.... no..... no!!!!

 

[Jb]

I was wondering how they will handle the huge German USK logo, but then I remembered that Germany is a EU country

Plus who knows, Hitler might come back in this one. Kein P5 für Deutschland!

 

[Setsu00]

I was wondering how they will handle the huge German USK logo, but then I remembered that Germany is a EU country

The German version of PQ only has the USK logo on the box, so I guess a hypothetical European version might do the same.

 

[Sallokin]

I see people saying the special edition is gone but was it ever up in the first place? I can't find it

It was up for roughly an hour. There's still a listing on Amazon

this?

[Korigama]

Hm, pretty much what I get for giving them the benefit of the doubt with previous releases (the JP and NA versions of the original P4 released five months apart as well, yet still within the same year, while it was a mere two months between the JP and NA releases for the original SMT IV in its same-year launch). Guess it'll only beat FFXV to the market in Japan now.

 

[ViciousDS]

CALLED IT!!!!!


you folks were living a damn dream thinking it was hitting US this year!

 

[dan2026]

Do you guys think that maybe they will just not bother to release in Europe?

It seems kind of insane in 2016. But that they way they seem to be leaning.

 

[Gbraga]

Remember how Hashino was hoping the game could help people feeling stuck in life to find the strength to move on? Years of wait ain't helping.

 

[hughesta]

CALLED IT!!!!!


you folks were living a damn dream thinking it was hitting US this year!

i didnt want to wake up

 

[Hedge]

So EU 2018?

 

[Akhe]

Spoiler

As I already expected but sad tho = (

 

[Danielsan]

Pitty, ooh well, I'm in Europe anyway, so 2020 for me probably.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I remember thinking it was kinda crazy how late in the PS2's life that Persona 4 came out, but damn, Persona 5 still coming to PS3 almost 11 years after the system launched is nuts.

I wonder what the differences will be between the PS3 and PS4 versions.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Between SMT4 Apocalypse and Tokyo Mirage Sessions, they have two big single-player JRPGs coming this year so it could be much worse. I don't mind the wait.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

this?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GKHJPAC/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Ha! Well fuck my searching skills Jesus what time do they think Na wakes up!! Had to be gone made early.

 

[Soi-Fong]

How the fuck is the CE already sold out? WTF?

 

[silva1991]

here is the EU cover

LOL.

 

[sora87]

Euro what?

No plans atm.

 

[Audioboxer]

So EU 2018?

I don't even want to think about it, I'm settling on importing for sure. Or buying off US PSN.
