HMMMM.

Just saying, it could be bad. Rather than "We're showing P5 next week", it could be "P5 has been cancelled.".

Just saying.

I think we're about about due for a real trailer, right? I hope so, at least!
Click to expand...

I'm think that too. The twitter made it pretty clear it was gonna be a big trailer, so I'm expecting a full eight minute one or something.

Next week is gonna be exciting, at any rate.

We should make an avatar bet on it.

*cough*

We're laughing about this now right?

The most exciting part is the likelihood of new Meguro music. To quote Mitsuru "I CAN HARDLY WAIT!"

There's suppose to be a big update to the Persona 3 movie next week too, according to the movie's official twitter. Hrm...

Since the movie(s) are being done by Aniplex, they might get worldwide releases like the Madoka movies.

Edit: lol @ ScraftyDevil and Meia

It could also be something about SMTxFE... Just sayin'.

News coming last minute and out of the blue just screams Nintendo's involvement.

It could be a delay, but what would he be nervous about? That would be a delay in work on his end. The tweets indicate something is ramping up.

Still, I fully admit to over analyzing. Nobody make a thread for this.

Until I see it again or hear it officially mentioned, I think SMT x FE was cancelled/is in limbo.
Click to expand...

It was mentioned the other day by the Fire Emblem guy, I believe.

Even so, I don't think anyone from the Persona team will be involved. At best, we'll get Hashino on production. More likely it'll be the SMT4 team, and that's assuming Atlus is even involved in the core development at all.

It's weird. It's another example of one of these incredibly niche games Nintendo has on the system despite the fact it's floundering.

SMT and Bayonetta are great. Neither is going to help the system's prospects. And both will bomb.

I'll give you something out of this coupon book my mom gave me recently. We'll get burgers or something.

We should go to Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

Because it's Persona Five.

I'm not believing anything because if nothing happens I won't be let down. Considering how worked up people seem to get over Famitsu and how nothing happened yet my strategy worked pretty damn well so far :p

So, getting this straight:

- Atlus US PR man experienced an unexpected and significant turn of events that we may or may not one day know of.
- The Persona 3 Movie's official Twitter account stated that there would be an update concerning the movie next week.

Sounds good. At least the latter is something definite.

Edit: Wait, but I don't even see anything on the P3Movie Twitter account.

Up until now, I haven't let myself get sucked into the "we're getting P5 soon hype train!"

...

Until now.

You took my favorite character and my favorite Persona and dressed them both in a ballerina outfit.

Last line. "Because it is planned for a large update at the next full moon, please look forward to it."

The full moon is next week; July 22nd.

I still do, man. Love FE and SMT is my favorite franchise currently, so...
Oh! and forgot to adress this before, but it seems that Atlus is handling actual development duties. I wonder if they'll say something before the end of the year.

I agree that they aren't great system sellers (SMT more so than Bayonetta), but that doesn't automatically mean that they will bomb. I'm hoping to see good numbers for SMTIV, actually, even if it doesn't chart in the NPD numbers next month. Let's see how the first one fares before jumping to conclusions.

I don't really think it's a stretch by any margin to say SMTIV, SMT x FE, and Bayonetta 2 will all bomb.

In fact, I forgot to mention Wonderful 101. That's going down in flames as well.

Anyway, P5 is a high school dating sim with Namco characters. Sorry guys.

SMT IV will do okay. I suspect it's budget was minimal because it originally began as a remake of SMT 1. Bayonetta 2 has a decent shot as well.

SMT x FE and Wonderful 101 are totally screwed despite how much I want the later to succeed. :(

Since when Atlus' games needs to sell that many copies?

Anyway, we'll see how it fares next month, since I sill can't see the future, and I doubt that you can too ;). I'm willing to bet my avatar in the case that SMTIV bombs.

Just saw the Namco dating sim. 'Odd' it's the only word I have for that.

Just need Namco to buy Altus so we'll get Atlus High.

I never heard this. Source?
(I would like to play that one day for sure.)


Also, I bet you all would love Isabeau's original design in the art book. It's really interesting. A lot more tribal.

It's not a source. It's my own speculation based off the fact that "Shin Megami Tensei" was on the original Nintendo 3DS game list combined with how amazingly similar the game is to SMT 1.

Well, it does have the best story in the series, may as well copy the best.
(I looove Nocturne, don't get me wrong, but SMT1's story is amazing.)

Almost everything in that original list has come true, I might add. The only thing that didn't was the Persona title.

Nocturne puts a lot more emphasis on story choices. It's one of the only games that does multiple endings right.

^Nocturne's story is very minimalistic, so it's not surprising at all.
Click to expand...

SMT1's kind of is too, but 1 does arguably have more NPCs and dialogue. (Scarily enough.)

What little story Nocturne does have is full of subtext and layers, so there's that appeal for sure.
