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

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.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
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
 
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.

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.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
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

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.

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
I feared this might happen. :(

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

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

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..

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.
 
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.
 
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
