Oh god I knew something was up when I saw P5 trailer on April Fool's day. Congrats Levito, Trueself, Pan, and Armada for making it to other websites!
I noticed some End of Evangelion from the trailer, but that 3DS really did it for me.
That trailer also convinced me to watch Elfen Lied and Wolf Children
Is...Is this real news? It's not an April Fool's joke right?? Please tell me it's not a joke!
It's probably not, but it also shouldn't be taken as a guarantee of release, and it definitely shouldn't be taken as a guarantee of imminent release.

Suikoden II did? I remember playing that game when I was 9 -- I still do now every year.
What's the point of putting ESRB rating if the game won't be released then?
Finger crossed that P4 won't be like Suikoden II.

I do that too! But I'm afraid of scratching my copy, so a digital version would be welcome.
And I hope so. Konami doesn't give a fuck, Atlus does.
I own wolf children, but haven't seen it yet. Dunno if I will now.
It's a great movie and the P5 "trailer" does not spoil any of it. You'll be fine.
April Fool's Day always paints the marks and rubes red.
Fantastic. I figured one of the big sites would pick it up.
Man, I might get that just to play
the game on my TV.
Even better.
Watch it. Amazing film.

To be honest you probably should have put some Love Hina in there too to really sell the Persona-ness.

Who's generally considered a better artist among the Persona community? Soejima or Kaneko?

I consider them better at different things. I like Soejima for making distinctive characters who still look like people you could see on the street, whereas Kaneko's better at more alien or outlandish designs (and monsters).
Made it on Destructoid's best of April Fool's list.
I like Kaneko better for demons/Persona designs, and Soejima for character designs.

i'm really sad because i think the half-minute hero 2 release has all been an april fool's prank
Soejima is my preference when it comes to Persona. Kaneko has some wicked designs under his belt though.

Amazing how a black and white filter and a chilling song can make a heartwarming film seem like a horror movie, eh? haha
Vast majority of people seem to be getting the joke. Of course there's some nerd tears of course, Youtube comments has a few heroes that thing they've cracked the code to reveal it's a fake trailer. It's like, whoa shocker a trailer full of exploding heads isn't a legit Persona game, these folks should be on True Detective with that insight.

Perfect! The sneakiness of the deployment and the desperation for P5 news lets the viral really take effect.
Standing in the corner, desperate to be relevant to the goings-on as per usual.
April Fools sim~!
Sorry it's so short.

How comes? As far as I know, Atlus doesn't usually have their own booth at TGS.
Might be different this time, though, seeing as how they're in the Sega family.
They always go and put stuff in the Sega booth. That was part of their relationship pre-buyout. If the game is releasing there in the winter I don't see how they can go through TGS with no trailer/screens to speak of.
Yeah, reading the 2013 TGS Siliconera article, apparently Sega was helping with the distribution of their games so sometimes they would share a booth? Well, I suppose I'd expect it to be at what seems to be the biggest gaming show of the year in Japan, but TGS is always a weird thing. They could just bring P4D or something and be done with it.
Yeah, exactly. In the west Square does the same thing for Deep Silver. They distribute their games and when you go to a con of trade show they have them on display in their booth as well.
TGS has been weird, yeah. Atlus has their act together though. They're not trying to force some unwanted mobile initiative or anything, so I expect it'll be a predictable show for them. Just show all the Persona stuff.
I think it'll be before then, too. I think TGS is the latest they can reasonably wait unless the game is delayed. They have to start promoting the game eventually.
Too bad Dantis didn't draw one. I really wanted to see a badass Yosuke in his style
Yours is pretty good too, Reanimatoin!
I think I know who I'll be drawing for Fool Week.
I don't think there's any way that we don't see a new trailer or something significant for P5 before the end of July. I just can't see the actual promotion cycle for Persona 5 being shorter than Persona 3 and Persona 4, especially when they've been getting longer for their more recent games.
Hashino did say we'd hear more about it at the beginning of 2014, though that could mean anything. I'll just say May. Week of May 5th? 5/5, you know.

Well, assuming "Winter 2014" actually goes into 2015 too (Dec/Jan/Feb?), TGS is probably the latest they can reveal it if they're planning on releasing it at the latest, and in my view that's probably cutting it fine.
I still think we should look at their past releases and how they were promoted to get an idea of how they will handle P5, but it's not going to be identical. With that in mind I still think we will see P5 for the first time closer to its release than further away.

I sure hope so. It feels like forever since we got anything significant about P5.
I really doubt "Winter 2014" means it would overlap into 2015. I think I remember people hoping that "Winter 2014" meant December 2013 until March 2014. It's too confusing; I'm sure 2014 means 2014.
And I don't know about looking at how they promoted their past releases as a reference point to how they will handle P5. I keep note of a lot of meaningless data about this stuff and P5 is just too big an anomaly to compare it like that. For one, they've never released an announcement trailer (that I'm aware of) that essentially showed nothing of the game before except for a concept image.
Edit: So essentially like you said, it's not going to be identical (or necessarily similar, either).
My dad's birthday, too.
Yeah, I dunno. I'm on the same page as you, but I also agree with Omi; If it turns out "winter" means February? Then yeah, TGS is cutting it just fine.

DAMN, have you seen how many views that fake Persona 5 trailer has?
You guys are going mainstream lol.

I don't think they had much choice but to announce it back last November. In my view, I feel an announcement is rushed if no gameplay is shown, and that's exactly what P5's announcement seemed to be. For all intents and purposes, if we hadn't been waiting so long for P5's announcement, I doubt the game would've been announced in the manner that it had been. With that in mind, I think the manner of P5's announcement is largely irrelevant.
I'm pretty much basing when I think shit will go down by when they first show us gameplay, as I think that's when we're getting the proper P5 announcement, rather than the bare minimum we got last November that was just there to placate an audience desperate for news on it.

Maybe, though I really think it was more of a PQ/P4AU/P4D event, but then someone said "everyone will scream at us if we don't show Persona 5" so then someone else replied with "show them those chairs Soejima drew."
Also think it wasn't insignificant that the event was held on exactly the same day as Atlus' 24th anniversary, since they were making a big deal about this year being their 25th.
Essentially, that's what I think happened too.

I think I know who I'll be drawing for Fool Week.It's definitely not P3MC.
Cheers mate. I was actually quite pleased with it myself.
Also, Yosuke in the summer outfit is his best outfit IMO, great job with yours.
