It's worth pointing out Catherine is low-budget, itself. It may have been Atlus most expensive work and P5 may very well surpass it, but everything is relative. It's still ultimately going to be a game made for cheap.

Which is good, since you'll never have a situation where they sell a few million copies and are disappointed by sales as was something that regularly happened this gen.
Shit, I'd imagine they'd throw a massive party if they broke a mil.
P4G got to about 700k worldwide right?Which is good, since you'll never have a situation where they sell a few million copies and are disappointed by sales as was something that regularly happened this gen.

I bet P5 breaks 1mil.
Don't commit my mistake and say it'll break a million in Japan though; I was extrapolating off P4G's sales on a dying, unpopular handheld and ignored that this was Japan, where only FFXIII broke a million copies sold this entire gen.
I'm sure it'll break a million globally. If Ni No Kuni could, then Persona 5 is a shoe-in.
Probably. Also, entirely possible, seeing as how Catherine managed to sell well, and I'm pretty sure that people will realize that both are from the same developer, seeing as how they use the same artist. Does someone know the full numbers of that one WW, btw?
Oh, and finally, finally, bought a new laptop.
Long overdue, guys :')
Oh yeah I'm definitely talking worldwide numbers. How did P3 and P4 sell in Japan? They have spawned so many other products at this point that from a casual glance it seems like a phenomenon. Obviously that isn't the case though.
cbf finding the post it was sourced from, but

Speaking of SMT4:
I certainly hope P5 allows the fusion flexibility that SMT4 had, while also having some way of making each individual Persona distinct so it doesn't just feel like you're just transferring the same skillset between Personas. Like maybe give arcana-specific abilities (like Devil Survivor's racial skills), or something.

I like this idea! I'd definitely be all for something to help the Personae and Arcana seem more distinct. And, carrying with the whole Wild Card thing, they could have Fool Personae not have a natural racial ability but can inherit ones from the Personae they were fused out of or something.

So I'm fighting the hanged man boss during the Nov 3 full moon event in P3P. He wipes out my party and i'm at 1 health. Somehow I manage to rez and heal my entire party up and we slowly whittle him away until he's at 10% health.
Whatevs, at least I got Tearaway to soothe my soul.
And then he one shot crits me. I WAS AT FULL FUCKING HEALTH FUCK YOU GAME FUUUUUUCK YOOOOUUUUUUU!
Whatevs, at least I got Tearaway to soothe my soul.
It'll break a mil. Maybe not year one, but sometime after for sure.

Yeah and perhaps you can unlock certain abilities for a certain arcana as you do the social link of the corresponding arcana, it would give social links, even non-teammate social links, a bigger role in the actual combat.
The SMTIV fusion system makes it hard to go back and play older megaten games, haha.
That delicious fusion functionality
The one thing I miss is the experimental edge of sticking two demons together and seeing what results. But that loss is a small price to pay for the enormous ease of use upgrade.

The only thing I liked from SMT4's fusion system was the "from your compendium" message for a demon ingredient that you had previously. Slap that onto the old SMT3/P3/P4 fusion grid and we've got perfect
SMTIV, I finally started playing it. Got a nice surprise on my birthday with a 3DSXL which gave me motivation to finish/start my 3DS games (I borrowed a 3DS before having my own).
Loving SMT so far, and it took me a little while to reaccustom myself to the difficulty of SMT games. I forgot you can actually die very quickly to early enemies if you're too reckless. I've found my feet though, and am progressing relatively painlessly now.
The only hiccup was the lack of force skills early on.

Damn, what an answer.
Full P4A2 arcade playthrough with Labrys via Nico Nico that will probably be removed by Atlus and ASW spoiler ninjas soon enough. Translation here.
Oddly disappointed to find out that

Liz's arcana is still Death
I would say it's because it represents what arcana her persona is, but Aigis blows that argument out of the water.
Sho Minazuki would as well.

does she have any story in the arcade mode of P4A2 Arcade? Maybe it's just not updated yet (haven't watched the clip yet)
Elizabeth? Yes, she does have a story this time, unlike in P4A, which consists of her doing typical Elizabeth stuff. Here's her arcade story encounter against Shadow Junpei, for instance.
I'm not gonna necro the MegaTen CT and I'm not sure this is thread-worthy, so posting here:
http://gematsu.com/2014/01/japanese-developers-share-aspirations-2014
So, if there's something planned for Atlus ' 25th anniversary, it's not coming out of Maniax. I think 9thwonder mentioned there was a rumor that Kaneko was in a new team working on a new IP under the MegaTen umbrella and that could be "Deviliser". Maybe that's their anniversary thing.
Or maybe they'll just go the easy route and tie that stuff to Persona 5! Who knows!

It's not that much of a necro, we got a post... uh, every month or so.
That sounds great, though. I hope core SMT or something like it keeps going, there's always room.
I'm still sad I lost the link to the song Armada wrote.
I feel guilty about finishing neither club S.Link in P4.

I think I saw aeana mention it, I'm not sure if she knew or was just speculating though. Oh and yeah, if Atlus decides to throw a little birthday bash, do another live stream and announce some shit, a P5 trailer would definitely be there (right along with FExSMT).
There is 0 reason for mainline megaten to stop. Although I would prefer it if Maniax did a new IP like Catherine first.
emmm...no. P4 girls are much better
^THIS!!
it seems that Im the only one who likes Marie (((

so anime
Where I am at right now: Yukari > Mitsuru > Chie > Yukiko >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Marie. Design alone Marie looks stupid, but then that personality of hers, bleck.
I'd switch Mitsuru and Chie but, otherwise, you're golden. You're joining the right side of history by hating Marie.

Yuuup.
I don't think any of their games have ever felt cheap to me, personally, though. Quite the opposite really. I think they're incredibly good at making do with what they have available.
Oh, absolutely! I feel the exact same way.
I liked her, but only had time to get her to rank 5 or 6. Gonna actually focus her on my 2nd play through this time. Didn't max her or Kanji on my first game.

Beat P4G earlier this year and it is by far one of the finest RPGs ever conceived by man this left me incredibly excited to play P3. So I finally got around to buying P3 FES on PSN and have been playing for around 30 hours or so but this game seems a lot more difficult with leveling up being at a slower rate. Plus the inability to control my party has my gears grinding. Overall, I'm enjoying myself and the story for P3 has been slightly more interesting than P4G that being said, P4G just feels more refined especially in the gameplay department.

I kinda like her too, she is nowhere near the level of the rest of the cast, but I don't think she's that bad.
Can I ask if the people who hated Marie had played Vanilla before Golden?
You say this only because you haven't met Fuuka, and Rise respectively.

Persona 5 to be an action RPG. The meltdowns would be priceless.
Hate is a stong word reserved for Nozomi, but I found that Marie's personality brought nothing to the table. Also her poems suck, I don't want to hear them every other time I come to the Velvet Room.
Mashing X worked pretty well for me.
Define action RPG.
Persona 5 to have Kingdom Hearts's gameplay. Atlus to work with Disney for Persona 5. I hope you guys are ready to S-Link with Donald Duck.
