Sorry that really was not my intention.
I thought your comment was some kind of hint at something and was genuinely curious what it could be. Reading my comment I see that perhaps I worded it badly. So, either way I admit fault so I will try to tone it down a bit.

I'd be up for a trade. I was more irked by the fact that the NA CE didn't resembled the JP one than the 2017 release itself.
Pretty much.

If the prices were the same, I'd rather have a soundtrack box set than a tiny plushie and a cheap bag I'll never use. Interesting to see these reactions though.
Forgot about the art book. That does make it more tempting.

Apparently a lot of folks on Amazon agree with this. It's #1 there.

It sounds like a short-term tactic they'll stick with at the expense of the long-term.
Although, them making the date ambiguous could be seen as them trying to dissociate P5's events from that of past games? Make it a fresh start?
I mean, if we don't get any Ultimax references, I'd say it's a fair deal.

For what it's worth, I still use the mini duffel bag that came with the GTAIV special edition.

I will be very interested in seeing sales numbers for this game down the road

One thing I really like about our CE is that it's all new stuff. All the Persona soundtracks were readily available in most CD shops when I was in Japan, so if I lived there I'd own them all already. And if you already have the soundtracks, their CE isn't all that great.
Plush Morgana is pretty cool too, I hope it's good quality.

To be clear, though, the soundtrack set that is included with the Japanese CE are all new arrangements of previous Persona game songs.
They're "Anniversary Special Arrangement" versions of select music from the previous games.
I've seen you say this in another thread but I've honestly never seen any other source for this. Where do they say this?
I posted the source in the other thread where you saw it, which is the official product description that you can find at any Japanese retailer.

I hadn't realized that. I retract my prior statement then.

Thing is, like it or not that JPN CE Album will be on the internet within a week of the Japanese Launch at most. So I'm definitely happy with the cheaper Western Premium Edition.
Not like Atlus likes making things like that available for regular folks to purchase in the first place.

So we have a nico livestream for the Persona 5 E3 event. Which starts at 9PM JST on the 15th, or 1PM BST.
Promising new information on Persona 5.
Which would be 5AM PDT I think, so wouldn't line up with any already scheduled E3 events. So this could be a Japan exclusive stream, with the NA news being elsewhere.

The dates still match the calendar of 2016, so it's pretty obvious that the game's story is set in that year. I know that it also matches up with 2011 and one more year in the future, but that wouldn't fit due to the technology and fashion in the game.
They probably wanted it to be explicitely set in 2016, but had to change it when it became obvious that they would miss the 2015 release year.

Yeah it would be 8AM EST Wednesday. Weird it doesn't coincide with anything

Makes sense really. Japanese Phantom Thief event with the Japanese VO's as they usually do, and a separate event for English speaking audiences. Which could be a trailer during Sony's press conference.
Only thing that strikes me as slightly odd is that the E3 showfloor won't be open at 5am, so whatever the event involves, it won't be set there.

They already announced a P5 theme; it'll be included with the Collector's Edition in Japan.
Though this is likely the case, what's really important is what the ambiguity entails concerning the future of the franchise.

Famitsu and Dengeki have put up articles with all the screens from the scans a few weeks ago
Skimming through the machine translated version, nothing majorly new. Talks about the MC being taken to the velvet room in his sleep. There's a mention of hanging out with people to develop bonds and maybe even form relationships. Social stats seem to be back, mentions the game having an omnibus structure again. Mostly just the stuff from the last articles though.

Having the only confirmed E3 stream be on Niconico in Japanese hours before the show floor opens is the most Atlus thing I've ever heard.
Considering the last trailer Atlus USA put out was PV1, I wonder if they'll play catch up (covering details from PV3 to PV4) while this Japanese stream shows new stuff. Seems kinda weird, but expecting the worst comes naturally at this point, haha.

It certainly sounds like the Atlus Japan we all know, love, and are baffled by; so I'm going to say that this is exactly what is going to happen and we're all going to be really annoyed at this.

Not like Atlus USA are hiding the unrevealed party members or anything, and they released PV4 era screens alongside the last news.
I'd expect an English trailer to be new, rather than a dubbed reused PV and to introduce the game for people who haven't been following Japanese media. Depends how far along the English build is too though.

There it is
This is what I want an English P5 trailer to be, but I'm also willing to accept a dubbed over trailer because I consider a sample of the English voice work as new info.

Yeah, I think a new English trailer* is a fair expectation. I'm just wondering how much you can put in a trailer before it loses coherency. It seemed slow because of the gap between events, but we know way more about P5 now than we did last February. If nothing else, I'm very curious about Atlus USAs trailer.
*not expecting a dub or localized text in-game text though.

PV1 was basically the perfect début trailer, but wouldn't work now with how much more of the game is known about, and something like PV4 wouldn't work the same way for newcomers, since it puts a focus on introducing new party members.
So yeah, be interesting to see what Atlus USA chose to show.

Dat title change.
Anyway, I have a stupid question: What are the chances of getting that DLC over here?

Like Rob Van Dam high?
The cool thing about that DLC is how the background music and sound effects change to Persona 3 or Persona 4 style depending on which costumes are used. The music is likely going to be the "Special Anniversary Arrangement" versions included in the soundtrack set.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Persona summoning animations changed accordingly, too.

Yep. I agree with all of this. It's extremely Atlus.
Once I realized that the Atlus stage at E3 wasn't going to be live-streamed, I instantly assumed the worst. AtlusUSA is a red-headed stepchild in this whole process.
That said, I completely get it: If they were to introduce new info, doing so at E3 would be at ungodly hours for the Japanese audience, so doing it in the early morning hours for the US is the only way to potentially hit both (despite it being a niconico stream). Then the E3 stuff can focus on the new info presented that morning.
