Fml.

Oh wait... I live in Japan and can speaK Japanese. Dope.

Translate for me, senpai.

 

[pizzacat]

So no word on BB preorder :')

 

[LiK]

It's hilarious that this even needed to be brought up.

Cuz people like to freak out over nothing.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

How high are the chances it'll get delayed again to May/June?

I'd say low. Unless the Japanese release also gets a delay.

 

[Leafhopper]

How high are the chances it'll get delayed again to May/June?

Low actually.

No? It means the day it's "actually for real this time finally out" I'll give them my money then instead of fucking about with pre-orders when it very well could be delayed again.

Oh, okay my bad. People are weird about digital games on this site sometimes so I couldn't tell.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Just in time with my birthday, that's fine by me.

What's it like having your birthday on Valentine's Day?

 

[daveo42]

So LE pre-ordered on Amazon, CE pre-ordered at GS and hopes that I'll be able to cancel both for the sweet Amazon CE.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

No? It means the day it's "actually for real this time finally out" I'll give them my money then instead of fucking about with pre-orders when it very well could be delayed again.

lmao

 

[aravuus]

Fuck, man. Time flies.

 

[Marmaladefire]

How high are the chances it'll get delayed again to May/June?

Pretty low. We've never gotten a solid date before this and there's no reason to think they're behind on localization to match that date.

I wonder if we'll get the DLC immediately. I see no reason not to. It would be nice if they gave us the Japanese CE DLC as a bonus on day 1.

 

[the_sun_king]

Welp, looks like I'm importing then. I cannot hold off until fucking February.

 

[antitrop]

That's pretty much what I've been expecting.

 

[kewlmyc]

So no word on BB preorder :')

BB usually takes their time putting up CEs of Atlus games. I'd give it to the end of the week.

 

[Atlas157]

Welp, looks like I'm importing... unless the JP version is region locked...

 

[Modest Mauser]

How long has that Amazon special edition pre order been up? I hope I haven't missed my chance to pick that up.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Called it (actually I thought we wouldn't be seeing it 'til March)

 

[Mediking]

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

Sold out fast.

Placed an order on GameStop.com but man, full price + shipping is brutal compared to Amazon/BB's 20% off + free shipping.

Same here! Amazon, please restock!!!!

 

[Drama Zed Nod]

the US version isn't region locked, right? Right?

 

[pizzacat]

BB usually takes their time putting up CEs of Atlus games. I'd give it to the end of the week.

Thanks for the information. Hopefully someone makes a thread I don't want to search up persona 5 every hour this week O_O

 

[Guess Who]

Hardin just confirmed on Twitter that the Premium Edition shouldn't be stock-limited and there should be more available at retailers later. So if you missed out on Amazon, they should restock.

 

[Mengetsu]

It's hilarious that this even needed to be brought up.

The SMTxFE edits got people all riled up 😂

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Five months is not that long. I mean I'm upset too but the people saying they're importing who don't speak Japanese... don't ruin it for yourselves like that

 

[muteki]

Not going to get worked up over a cover I'll never see anyway.

The way things are going my regular PS4 game boxes will be in the minority with all these steelbooks coming out.

 

[jj984jj]

I feared this might happen.

At least this time they got a solid date out, those arguments last year were a major fucking headache.

 

[Panda Rin]

I want to order the collector's edition, but I want the normal cover and box over the steelbook.

 

[LiK]

Hardin just confirmed on Twitter that the Premium Edition shouldn't be stock-limited and there should be more available at retailers later. So if you missed out on Amazon, they should restock.

As expected. There will always be initial stock sold out and restocked later. They ain't Nintendo

 

[Leafhopper]

Called it (actually I thought we wouldn't be seeing it 'til March)

I dunno. I was going by a 5 month gap. So I called Feb.

OG release of P4 was July for Japan and December for NA.

So when P5 was September, I said "Welp, they can try to pull it off in 3 months but I doubt it."

 

[OneLessIcon]

Planning to finally play P4 as my next game after having it in my backlog for a long time. At least this gives me plenty of time to play it and get hungry for the next one!

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

Today is a sad day.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

It's hilarious that this even needed to be brought up.

Not that I give a damn either way but eh I don't blame some people

 

[AtomskEater]

How long has that Amazon special edition pre order been up? I hope I haven't missed my chance to pick that up.

It was up for about an hour. It'll likely be restocked again and again in waves, so keep the page open in another tab and refresh every once in a while. You can also preorder on GS and cancel that once you can get it on Amazon, for extra security. Atlus is usually really good about CE/LE stock, so I'm not worried enough to do that.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

2016 really is kind of a let down

Amazing how quickly it fell apart.

 

[Ran rp]

Honestly we shouldn't, I was just gonna point this out.

"Here we go again."

Uh huh.

 

[Powdered Egg]

This sucks. I was looking forward to it this year.

 

[imjust1n]

Again 2017 thats what like 5 games already. Yookai 2017, That new sony IP with the dinos 2017, Persona 5 2017, NX 2017 Zelda 2017, seriously so many games pushing to 2017

 

[Kudo]

Language - A stable of talented voice actors have provided English voice-overs while ATLUS' celebrated localization team offers an English script that provides a faithful and engaging play experience.

Picked from the Gamestop page, I guess this kills are hype I had for this game.
Not like this..

 

[Lunar15]

Well, now Uncharted can't take P5's place in the Most Anticipated list for next year, lol.

 

[Storm Chamber]

FF15 will hold me down until then

 

[MaximumSpider]

Well, at least Final Fantasy XII, Horizon and Danganronpa V3 will also be released that year so 2017 doesn't sound too bad.

 

[Gaspard]

Persona 3 took a year and Persona 4 took 6 months for the localization, so this is to be expected.

 

[Xliskin]

Some one make p5 cover in Kojima's mascot face un latest reveal plz

 

[True Fire]

You can tell a lot of Persona fans aren't regular JRPG fans. A 5 month localization is godspeed considering P5 probably has a shit ton of dialogue and lip syncs that need to be done.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

February 14th 2017 release date aside...

I don't know how to feel about the changes for the special edition. It essentially swaps out the 20th anniversary 5-CD album for a School Bag, Morgana Plush, and Steelbook.

Assuming I can get the 20th Anniversary Album separately/digitally, I actually kinda prefer this bundle. Everything else remains the same.

Still, that soundtrack 'sampler' is a bit of a let down; also, ya know... 2017.

 

[Prismo]

 

[the_sun_king]

Today is a sad day.

It's a complete 180 from yesterday for me when we finally got FFXII HD announced.



I was hoping that we wouldn't have a 5 month gap between Japan and North American releases for Persona 5 like Persona 4 did back in 2008 but I was wrong.

I'm majorly bummed out.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Now watch square stuffs ffxii remaster in Feb too!! Making horizon,PV and ffxii all RPGs in the same month it happened last year.

 

[Immaculate]

Picked from the Gamestop page, I guess this kills are hype I had for this game.
Not like this..

have you never played a persona game

like ever because that isnt new

 

[tareqsalah1]

Somehow im liking these delays. More time to save money and finish some of the games i have.

Sorry for those who wanted it this year.
It will be here before u know it

 

[Zhao_Yun]

have you never played a persona game

like ever because that isnt new

Doesn't mean that we have to like it though.

 

[kpaadet]

That is hilarious

Spoiler

ly depressing
