The potential issue's not the translation, it's that the time will allow them to triple vet content through focus groups, multiple executive/department chains, and evaluative services--which they probably wouldn't be able to rushing a WW release.
Most famous is no doubt Tecmo's backpedled admission of why DOAX3 was shelved in the west. IIRC and off the top of my head, I think there were threads about more minor stuff like Star Ocean swapping one character to granny panties and Nier considering removing costume breaks or changing a leotard to short or something. I'm sure there's more stuff I'm not familiar with, even without getting into Nintendo, who claim they suggest no changes, but dev/pubs do it of their own accord.
Fucccckkkkk I forgot about Mass Effect
2017 is stacked already.
Really? Good, hopefully we get the standard edition box art in steelbook case form at the very least.
All art is not final. These are mock-ups.

Nothing is final - that's not the official steelbook design.

Oh I'm glad that there's an ignore function on NeoGAF
When are they going to finalize it so I know whether or not its worth it?
Oh GOSSHHHHHHH
Im reaching the point where I can't laugh about these delays anymore.
This is honestly how I feel right now too. I mostly blame the Saitama avatar, it exasperated my rage.

Probably before February 14, 2017.

Pretty sure it will be sold out quick. Pre-order are up to Ebgames Canada.
Idk if I missed it the first time around or they added it just recently but for those who want the game without a steelbook. Here you go:
The better looking cover art version.

Hardin said there's no limit, so don't think it'll be sold out.

Don't forget Zelda Wii U / NX. And those may not be the only Most Anticipated Games for 2016 to get bounced over to next year, either.

I'm seeing a mix of articles not being sure of a 2016 release in America and some do state that. Leading me to believethis a case of miscommunication and jumping to conclusions.
I don't
You might next year brah, you don't know :3

Atlus USA was very clear about 2016
if you check Title for the persona 5 page now it just says
Why is it that each time there's a delay, there's this underlying sentiment of revisionist history.
1. On February 25, 2014 Persona 5 was officially announced in North America for a 2015 release date: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKfaPgl8N8E
2. On September 17, 2015, Persona 5 was officially delayed in North America to a 2016 release date. They issued a press release.
Now there's this.

Youtube will be easy if you don't watch a lot of persona related things.

Is the art for the collector box subject to change as well?
Oops, I had the wrong link. Fixed it.

After reading through this thread I have to say it's a great decision on the part of Atlus to announce the date today. I can't even imagine the reaction if they showed a trailer during Sony's conference and it ended with "February 17, 2017".

I dont want to misinterpret John's reply, but if he is taking suggestions back to designers (I think he was serious) then its probably subject to change
Except DOAX3 doesn't count, because we don't actually know what would happen if the game was brought to the West, or if "moral panic" is really the legit reason why we haven't gotten it. And Star Ocean 5 is the one example I could come up with. (And they aren't anywhere near "granny panties" unless you have little knowledge of what women's panties look like.)
So, basically, you only have one solid example making your case, and it's a hugely minor example.

Art not final. They aren't going with that. That is place holder art.

Hope so. The box seems kind of bare at the moment, so I would love something closer to japan's.

I dont really want to appease him since hes being ridiculous, his original statement mentioned "games that arent released at all" and DOAX3 does fit that

I do like the normal edition's art. If the final art for the steelbook is like nothing but that cat mascot, I'm canceling and getting the normal version.

Still wish the Steelbook had the standard edition's cover on it.
Or, like the more recent Odin Sphere re-release. The Story Book edition had a metal sleeve that covered a standard edition. I find that to be incredibly cool, something I wish more Special Editions adopt.
Yeah, I'm still mad about it - only because of the insistence on 2015 last year, and Hardin insisting, and I mean insisting, 2016 this year. Relative to most series I like, 5 months is pretty good.
Stuff like Rune Factory 4, my favorite 3ds game, took almost a year and a half.

I think you may be confusing a PR smooth over with denial. My understanding is the DOAX3 situation was pretty clear cut. Their original response referenced exhaustive internal discussion (over the course of 2 years) along with the tacit admission they wanted to avoid criticism. Pretty specific to be the ramblings of a rogue CM. Throwing an employee under the bus for speaking out of turn doesn't redefine the subtext (or text in this case). I'm sure you can agree that certainly it's far more likely these discussions happened and played into the decision, rather than not.
True, but I asked him for a list of games that had actually been changed/censored when brought over due to "SJWs". People keep saying that such games exist, and I want to know what they are.

Yeah, what if the pull a Tales of and do this kind of cover though:
At least the game also came in a standard case. The Steelbook was just a nice extra.

Noooooooooooooooo, the premium edition is stuck with the steelbook....
