I wouldn't, believe you me.
Can't wait for Thursday. It'll be fun to take notes and watch a ton of videos/live streams of this game I won't be able to play for another 7-9 months. At least some media such as character portraits, small story details and music will begin to surface.
Kinda neat how they've deliberately spaced out the Persona games:
Winter 2013 - P4A2 arcade release
Spring 2014 - Persona Q
Summer 2014 - P4A2 console release
Fall 2014 - P4D
Winter 2014 - Persona 5
Don't think too much about what you're missing. There's a New Game plus feature that lets you carry a lot of stuff over to make subsequent playthroughs very streamlined so you can do a lot more stuff without any hassle.
Having 100% maxed social links is something you could definitely go for in the New Game +. (Where your character traits [courage,knowledge,etc.] are developed enough that you can probably access all of the social links as soon as they become available.)
Winter 2014 should be this January-February.(which we know wont be the case)
Hearing the game has had "development troubles" is sorta worrisome.
No we're not, and that's what makes it hilarious. ;D

Yeah, I mentioned this earlier. I really hope it didn't affect the game's quality. Hopefully they can focus on polishing the game now that it was moved back to PS3.
Also, it sucks that we'll have to wait for nearly a year and a half (including localization) to see P5.

Something tells me the game is going to get pushed to 2015, Just this awful feeling because it's an HD game and Japanese developers tend to struggle with the PS3. :\
Since it's not the case, maybe they specifically mean winter 2014 as December 2014... or January-March 2015.
And Hashino stated himself that the reveal was delayed, but in the interview he also sounded like things were now going smoothly, so I'm not worried.
Yep.
I think I missed the Halloween picture. Can you post it again, Dan?
Edit: In this context (the release window for a Japanese title) "Winter 2014" means the period from Thanksgiving to New Years.
Square Enix did the same thing when they announced FFXIII-2 and people had the same silly debate for a while. It just means very late fall.
I can't stand "release windows". Especially for "winter". I think in the context of video games that's my least favorite word after "delayed" and "cancelled".
It beats "soon."

Kinda weird they went back to PS3 after PS4 development. I mean yes the PS3 has the larger install base, but the PS4 is selling ridiculously well. Not to mention there's something to be said for being out on a platform when there's far less competition.(as in fewer games available for the system so those who might've not typically been interested in Persona might check it out)
Also, while Persona is niche, the fanbase will follow it wherever it goes. Even those of you keen on not getting a PS4 for a while know you would've figured out a way to get a PS4 in time for the game's launch.
As for the development issues though, it'll probably be fine, if we don't see or hear anything about the game for another 8 months or so--then start worrying.

The thought of them still struggling with PS3 many years after the PS3 released and after the PS4 has released just sounds sickly hilarious. I mean come on lol.
I think the release will be late 2014, not early 2015. At least once next year rolls around and if they still say "Winter 2014" and not change the release to just "Winter" then we'll know for sure.
Aeana said it moved back to PS3 earlier this year.
If any of the games look like they're worth buying, I'll import them. I'll almost definitely import P5.
P4D and PQ I'll wait and see.
I wouldn't be surprised if down the line they bring the game to the PS4 as well. The industry is different, up-ressed ports are a thing. The PS4 is also supposed to be super easy to dev for. Maybe Sony will offer to help or Atlus will decide to do so when the the game is closer to completion.

Plenty of developers still struggling with Cell programming. Probably easier making PS4 games rather than PS3 ones.
That used to be one of Nintendo's favorite words back before they employed the "won't announce it until we know it's going to ship." policy.
It's a damn fine sight they stopped. So many heartbreaks.
I think they most likely just experienced issues with the in-house engine they're making for the game. I think that may be why they doubled back on a possible PS4 release. (porting to work on a different architecture would be difficult, especially if they were experiencing issues on the PS3 already.) Their first interest is getting the game out, and they can worry about a PS4 engine port later. I still think there could be a PS4 port or rerelease down the road for that specific purpose.
The only reason anyone should be worried about development is if there was internal conflict within the team about the direction of the game, which I don't think is likely to happen considering their track record.
SEGA likely won't meddle in company affairs until they see unfavorable results.
The emptiest words known to man.

I made 4 new avatars from PQ that anyone can use. If you'd like another character, let me know
OOoohh snagged, Spectrasonic. Nice work.
Though I don't think I can last much longer without Chie Rock.
Stay out of my territory.

I already plan on importing at least P5 and P4D, especially if they have any special editions. Maybe on P4A2 if it isn't region locked and there are options for English language/voice, and definitely not on PQ.

Yu is adorable.

Yoinking! Thank ya kindly!
Movie #2 also comes out Summer 2014. Year of Persona indeed. Well, year of Atlus in general since it's their 25th anniversary.
I hope P5 has an item we can all add to our avatars in celebration.
Wonder if they'll announce any other major games.
Kaneko where you at. Are you working on Raidou 3?
Yeah, there's the movie, SMTxFE (well, if it's still a thing) and Devil Survivor 2: Break Record.
It's gonna be a killer 25th anniversary. They should make a logo for it and everything.
Devil Survivors 3 pls ;_;
Well they did register Devilizer recently.......
Smart post!
He's drawing an army of Jack Frosts to take over the world and make everyone his hee-hos.
If only Capcom prioritized celebrations first and logos later. Poor Megaman.
I think SMTxFE is still going to happen. They announced a lot of things way too early in that Direct. I think they made that deal practically yesterday when they announced it considering that they had nothing to show besides a logo.

This is cruel, you're mean.
but it's true ;_;
I wouldn't call a DemiKids game a 'major' release
assuming that is what it will be of course.
Yoinking! Thank ya kindly!
We're a matching pair!
Guys. Brainstorm.
Kingdom Hearts-esque SMT game. Platforming, exploration, real-time battles with 2 demons assisting you(a la Donald/Goofy), and loads of abilities, including fusion spells, summoning new demons and such.
Explore various SMT/Persona worlds or just 9000 versions of Tokyo.

Shouldn't we have seen something from Famitsu by now? It's Tuesday 9 AM in Japan.

I'm buying all of the announced games. That said, I'll probably be waiting for the European releases iff they announce them before the games are released in North America. And if the wait is no longer than two months.
Goddamn, it sucks to be an European Atlus fan.
When we talk about Tuesdays, we talk about our Tuesdays. Next Famitsu issue is released on November 28th. Earliest that leaks usually occur is tomorrow afternoon.
No.
You don't look like Rise.
