I think the first Thursday of July makes more sense, as in my predictions, I say that February 5th will be the next trailer, and that date is the first Thursday of February. I'm pretty much rounding it up to the next five in terms of months and weeks combined. Since July 5th is a Sunday, it won't be released then, so I rounded it up.
Remember, these are all just predictions.
But what was the reasoning for your prediction of the 16th, then? Or was that a random guess before you came with your more recent prediction?
Wheeeewwww I was wrong about thinking we wouldn't get anything about P5 before the concert!
Also whew for it being at 11 PM where I'm at. I mean, it'll only probably be like 2~3 hours long right? That still gives 4 to 5 hours of sleep til my class in the morning!
Though...I'm still on the train of thought thinking it'll mostly P4D and other Persona information, with only the last possible moments being something Persona 5 related.
Also, I think the "July 2nd" Release day theory is kiiiind of a stretch. Almost Halflife 3-esque.
It would be nice if it will be released around then though...Or sooner!

What makes you think that Ultimax didn't have a lot of effort put into it?
I'm thinking 5 months. P5 will likely be as large as P4.

Oh good can't wait for a 30 hour stream of Persona 4 music and the animated trailer again.

Hell no a cat ... a sailor moon type of cat.
Her Persona , a egipcian godess of the cats (Bastet i think was named)
If this happens ... oh my feeeels.

What about a tiger?
Even better , i love felines in general.
But the cats are in a lot of animes , so i can see that happens.
About the release i want to believe in a May / June date , that 25th of June Flux post sounds good right now.
Depending in P4DAN date of course.
See what happens in the next days.(or the 4th for that matter)
Uh... What? How in any world does that mean it hasn't had effort put into it?
We simply have some more recent precedents for how quickly they're willing to have that output for a new game. It being larger just means they'd need to allocate more staff (and they've had a longer time to work on it given the delay)

#BELIEVE scenario: worldwide release
which will never happen
Uh...the 30 hours thing is a joke right?
Like, I mean, I know they're gonna have a countdown for 30 hours, but they're not gonna actually reveal stuff for a full 30 hours....right?
I mean, if it was a weekend, that's one thing but come on! People got stuff to do on a Wednesday...>_>;

"and the high profile of Persona 5 means they'll be putting more effort into getting it out"
That's what you said. I'm saying that I think Atlus puts the same level of effort towards all their localizations.
And Ultimax is not a precedent to the size and volume of an 80 hour JRPG. That's why you have to look at P4 and P4G, which were 4 months and 5 months respectively.

It won't be a full 30 hours even if it's mostly a countdown. The last one had several breaks where they just played music for a while.

OT but I just finished SMT IV and holy hell was this game good. I don't know why this game gets the hate it does.

A random guess, pretty much.
That's exactly why I think looking at Ultimax for the localization time would be a big mistake, I haven't played it, but I doubt a fighting game has 10% of the dialogues in an rpg.
People hate SMT IV? I love this game and recognize it's flaws. Especially the reverse learning curve.
i dont think it got hate but more like some people were lightly upset due to the fact that the game was difficult at the beginning and than took a dive in difficulty and was too easy.
also the whole europe getting it late soured peoples interest in it.
I thought it was a perfect handheld game held back by the systems hardware.
Cool. Mine of June 25th, 2015 is purely random, too.
More things to consider concerning the event:
I feel that, in a way, we're going into this knowing less of what to expect compared to the November 24, 2013 show? I dunno, feels weird. Next week will probably give us a better idea of the structure, along with where to watch it and stuff.
Uh... Again, what? That clearly means that they'd allocate more manpower to getting it out sooner over later. Not that they were lazy with Ultimax or their other localizations. My goodness.
And please stop trying to act like the size of the game will change it that dramatically. They had Arena localized for JPN launch (and voices for Ultimax). I'm talking about when the earliest they'd want to get it out with the issues of multiple regions on the table. You comparing it to the series when it was much smaller and the remaster rerelease of that game is a bad comparison.
If they can get Q out in that much time with other major projects on the table and it not being a priority, then it's not going to take them 5 months this time. Especially when they've said they were trying to get the releases of the games out as close to JPN release as possible (bar Q)
You're taking this way too personally, it's kind of hilarious in context.
I said that I think Atlus puts the same level of effort towards all of their localizations, but how soon the games come out depends on the size of the game.
Arena and Ultimax are smaller than games like Persona Q, and it makes sense that they would come out sooner.
You're also forgetting that these games had arcade releases initially, which means that much of the game was likely ready for localization even before Japanese release
Persona Q is the latest Persona game that they've localized and it's a huge JRPG that spans dozens of hours. It's comparable to mainline Persona games in volume. That's why, since the game is obviously larger, it came out 5 months after its initial release like Persona 4 and P4G.
I'm saying that P4, P4G, and PQ are much better precedents than Ultimax, and all of those games took 4-5 months to be localized.
Cool...
Maya looks way too young/cute here.
Personally? Once again, you're making these claims that are so ridiculous it just gets annoying. If anything I'm frustrated that you're not stopping misrepresenting my words. Please. Stop. It just makes me dislike you.
So you're argument is that Atlus has literally one possible amount of effort/manpower/attention/whatever they can give to a game regardless of their situation, other projects, or anything? I'm sure you can see the issue I've been having with that.
And you're forgetting that the arcade release didn't have a story mode. AKA, the majority of the localization.
Like I ALREADY SAID, Persona Q was made with a bunch of projects surrounding it. Atlus even went out of their way to say that Q was going to be their exception in getting it out as soon as they could because of the situation surrounding it. . In fact, Persona Q is an example of something that shouldn't be used as a precedent because of the situation surrounding it.
P4, P4G, and PQ have a huge amount of reasons they shouldn't be considered as precedents. Ultimax at least gives us an idea of how long they want to wait to deal with importing concerns between the games.

I agree, that face would have been better for the FeMC.
Sure, I felt like you were taking things personally. If you actually read your responses compared to mine, you'd see the same. My apologies if I misinterpreted anything.
And I realize that the fighting games didn't have story context, but that context was likely ready and much far ahead behind the scenes. I think they were able to get into localizing the stuff because of that.
And no, I don't think that Atlus can exert the same amount of effort towards everything, but their release cycles have been consistent enough with P4, P4G, and PQ where all three games came out 4-5 months after they were released in Japan.

That seems like way too much effort to be a coincidence. Now whether Atlus is gonna make an announcement or troll us, we don't know
Do you really think that, after all of this, Atlus could really go "lol, it was nothing" and that'll be that?
I think we kinda do know, is my point.
Again, people misrepresenting my argument is annoying. Simple as that. You insisting that I was taking it too personally is just more of this that is getting more and more annoying.
That's not an assumption you can make. The entire story mode was not in the arcade release (nor English voices, I believe). There's a reason there is a big gap between the arcade release and the console release. That's without considering the fact that they ported it over to 360 for the localized release.
Again, you're just using three games that don't offer a realistic perspective on their capabilities. You're ignoring the changes since the earlier released and the context around the recent releases.
I would burn the Atlus flag on my front porch.
Thanks! And everyone else who's offered a restream. I'm excited to see what they've got in store for us.
After last time, a little bit nervous, too...
Nope. The Golden anime was announced by Atlus on its "Shadow Hour TV: Persona Hour" live stream in May last year. IIRC a rep from Aniplex showed up (I might be wrong on that point), but it was an Atlus stream nonetheless.
Anyway, I think Persona 5 and Persona 4: Dancing All Night are shoe-ins. I wouldn't mind there being no new project announcements. I'd honestly prefer there not be. Focus on these two games and get them out. Unless you want to announce Persona 3 for Vita, I'll allow that.
That's pretty nutty about the dates. I hope they do the 5/5/2015 thing just because it's neat, but that's a Tuesday in Japan and games usually release on Thursdays. Either way, I more likely see Persona 4: Dancing All Night coming out around that time and Persona 5 being more towards the summer or later in the year.

Ah, it was nice of Atlus to let you design Makoto's P4AU design.
Can't wait until he comes out for the console version of P4AU 2.0

Thanks!
I was honored to do it. I never thought this day would come true.
Of course!
