That's what all the sly dogs say.
Most of us are aware of the chances of P5 being on PS4 here...well I hope we all are.
I think we all realize that, but after Smash, Persona has one of the fanbases most rabid for new game details, so I feel at least one person would ask about that, even if they don't actually have a GAF account.
Plus, I think that has more to do with one of the mods (pretty sure it was Aeana) saying that development did switch over to PS4 at one stage.
No harm done, you said you were just making a prediction.
To be honest, regardless I'm just going to assume P5 isn't going to be at TGS.

I'm cautious about P5 being at TGS simply because of how little of P4D has been revealed.

I'd be ok with that.
I've been waiting years for a Persona dancing game, can't wait.

There are some PS3 saves on GameFAQS, but they leave off quite a ways away from your stopping place. The endgame one skips the last month or so of the game. The NG+ one would at least allow you to get back to your previous point relatively quickly (that being about 10-15 hours)
You may just want to youtube the post-November cutscenes and use the endgame file.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you are hardcore old school Resident Evil fans?

Me..I went as far as owning/reading all the novels too.
Legitimately disappointing.
If Arena is anything to go by, we shouldn't expect anything that hasn't been in their own games.

I played 1 when it first came out, if that counts, and my favorite is Code Veronica.
It can happen in P3P too.
Legitimately disappointing.

At the very least we can expect at minimum of 1-3 alternate costumes per character!
I'm still in September and currently doing Naoto's dungeon. I wish could help you but I don't have PS+ and I have no idea how to put a PS2 classic save online. Getting a NG+ save is also a good idea if you don't mind sitting through the cutscenes again.
They can't all be Tecmo, my man.
There's probably going to be 9 playable characters as opposed to DIVA's 6.75 and this is the first installment, so we shouldn't expect many per character.
There may be more per character than DIVA since one character probably won't get half the goddamned outfits like Miku does.
Looking at the PD wiki, Diva 2nd actually introduced about 7 per character, so I'm probably lowballing by a large margin. I'm just pessimistic that they're going to be given the resources to implement more, especially since unlike Vocaloid there isn't a wealth of fleshed-out designs already in their lap.

Aren't Atlus not appearing at TGS period? I just checked and they are not on the list of registered Exhibitors. Sega is though, so I guess they'll be promoting Dancing All Night.

It's in P3P.

In the DIVA games it's normally a costume per song. But the songs are character specific (due to the songs being created using different 'modules' on the Vocaloid software). The songs also have a theme so the costumes make sense.
All depends on how P4D goes. We can't really compare it in that sense as the songs aren't directly tied to the characters as they are in the DIVA games. Though without the song list it's all speculation, a good chunk of the songs could be character themes for all we know.
Then there are also the costumes that are already in P4, they might use those.

I recently discovered that you can play Resident Evil Outbreak online again. Outbreak is similar to the older titles, except your with a group of individuals (other human players) trying to escape Raccoon City.
The western release never had online back in the day for some strange reason, However, there's currently a patch going around that allows you to go online and play with others.
Would you guys and anyone else in this thread be interested in giving it ago in the near future?

I don't really think Persona 5 is going to be on the PS4 if it's been in development for so long - if anything, Persona 6 and onward will have the most likely chance of being cross-gen.
That's what I was thinking of, yep!
One or two alternates really isn't much.
I think there's a pretty decent chance there'll be more than just 1-2 for each. Miku has a lot.

Hey guys, I think I've stumbled upon something.
So, today, there was news on P4AU on p-ch.jp. Normal, of course, as it's an upcoming game. The link is here: http://p-ch.jp/news/detail/?nid=176
Now, you might be thinking? "What's so peculiar here? It's just the commercial info." Click the image. It leads you to: p-atlus.balco.jp/p4u2/special/tvcm.html
What we can assume from this, is that this is the main server where all of the files, contents, and previews for the HTML pages are. So, it would definitely make sense that an employee forgot to take the "balco.jp" subdomain out, as they may have looked at the preview page before making it public, and copied the link from it. (To those who don't understand, think of this as like a queue for posts on tumblr, but a bit more complicated and different)
It appears to be password protected. But what I found next, blew me away. It seems this is the main Apache server for the Persona sites. Here, take a look: http://p-atlus.balco.jp http://p-ch.balco.jp and lastly, http://persona5.balco.jp Try any other subdomain with it, and it won't work. For example: aajskdhskf.balco.jp or persona4.balco.jp That turns up nothing. This definitely adds more weight to the theory, as it proves these are real subdomains of this server. (p-atlus.balco.jp, p-ch.balco.jp, and persona5.balco.jp)
Oh, and guess when http://balco.jp was last modified? July 1, 2014, the day persona5.jp was last modified. Also, it's an Apache server. This, coupled with the password protection, and http://balco.jp (the site without the subdomain) being forbidden, and the fact that barely any information on the registrant is available, makes me believe this is the main server for the Persona sites, as all use Apache as well. It makes sense, too. If we assume balco.jp is the main Apache server with all of the files, it'd make sense that whoever was in charge of making the site forgot to change where the image is linked to, as balco.jp would be the main server with all of the site contents, in this case, making it perfectly capable that an employee forgot to edit that link.
What do you think, everyone? Seems a bit too connected to just be a sheer coincidence, to me.
EDIT: Googling "balco.jp" does not bring up any results at all with "http://balco.jp" as the link, just other sites with similar titles to the phrase "balco". This adds even more weight to the theory. A server is something that wants to be kept private, after all.
EDIT 2: The registrant of the domain, Noriaki Ikumoto, works for a company called BALCOLONY. That may tie into all of this.
EDIT 3: Indeed, BALCOLONY. are the ones hosting the servers. We can pretty much call this confirmed. They designed P4G's Japanese site, hosted under http://p-atlus.jp Remember, there is an http://p-atlus.balco.jp and all subdomains such as /p4g/ work on it. I think it's pretty safe to confirm these are indeed the file hosts for these sites. Here is proof that BALCOLONY. works on web design for products, such as games, etc.: http://www.balcolony.com/web/ and http://www.balcolony.com/movie/
EDIT 4: The sites BALCOLONY. have helped create, all share similar directories. /common/ and /common/img/ Those two directories also appear on persona5.jp Apparently, BALCOLONY. also designs logos and teaser sites, too. I think it's safe to say that balco.jp is really the file server.

That's a fantastic read. I've rarely looked into MK2 reviews before, so this is nice to get a more detailed explanation of how their weighting system works.
