Does that mean that you hate every protagonist we've had so far safe for Maya, Aigis and FeMC?

Yup.

So you prefer playing females rather than males and you hat this MC because he is a male ?

I thought about this option and that maybe the localization was already on track for 2015 release, but for some reason Japan suddenly decided they want to add even more content or had some technical problems (with PS4?) which caused the delay.
Because it still doesn't make sense why would John come all the way to NeoGAF and say it's coming in 2015, if he knew that it didn't. It's not like he was interviewed and was forced to say something.

Love all the pointy hats in the thread

Not exactly. Though I liked FeMc over the overs you've mention. (Never played Persona before three.)
I want to see another one in these games, that's all.
I'm just bitter that the game has my favorite color scheme but not the kind of protag I'd like to play as.

If this game is longer than P3... holy shit.
To be fair, I only remember him saying it when asked, save for the avatar bet.

Wow I turned on avatars for the first time after turning them off during E3 and my whole world changed.

We have like zero context for most of those scenes. Look at all the spoilers that were in the P3 announcement trailer: Aside from, just, like, entire chunks of gameplay, it has stuff like
Aigis fighting what's his face, the MC being crucified, Chidori dying, several scenes from right before the final battle, etc, etc.

If this is supposed to be the longest...
Nope. Just had the crazy idea that the P5MC's 16 cause you go through two years this time. Beyond stupid idea.
This or the delay is going to be shorter , i see them going to silence until we begin the full campaign again 4 months before release.
And how many trailers this game is going to have like 5 -6 previews video , plus the 2 teaser trailers from earlier , and maybe character trailers too....

At least Persona 5 will finally get that e3 presence, next year
I recognize most people by their avatars, and not their names. Needless to say this avatar bet has gotten be a bit confused.

...I could have sworn both Makoto and Yu are 16...

Like, we still know basically nothing about any of these characters, why they do what they do (even on a superficial level), the battle system, the actual plot, etc, etc.
Plus you know at least two weeks of preview content will be about DLC.

The thought of P5 being longer than P3 is almost scary.
maybe they will go through with their 3 years of school thing that they planned for persona 3 .
I don't see that happening.
I could see them pulling a Gold/Silver and doing a second year of school (with time skips).

When developers talk about game length is it largely meaningless, but I would certainly hope P5 has a lot of compelling side material, compared to, say, P3.
Like, remember in the Before Times, when RPGs would occasionally have one or two kinda meaty side quests? Like completely optional areas with their own little storylines and stuff, back before it was all "Collect 5 iron screws" or "Go back to this old dungeon and fight this one new boss that's there for no reason"? Wouldn't that be fun? Like, obviously P5 will have "Collect 5 iron screws" because it will be a game that came out in 2016, but wouldn't it be something if it had meaty side quests?
Like maybe the SLink characters will all have dungeons associated with them - not storyline dungeons, but side quests that you can delve into that'll let you learn a little bit more about them than you would normally in their SLinks.

But then wouldn't it make sense to add a year to the date displayed on the top left?

If they were to have a second year I'd say that's something you keep as a surprise.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Maybe they'll just be throwing in something akin to The Answer but as part of the main game. ;P

Now that's definitely scary.

The Annswer, where Anne is the MC trying to bust The Phantom out of jail.
Good point!
UI might not be done though. Can't rule that out.
None of this is happening.
Yes please
Awesome, thanks!
Yeah. Maybe it's just the impression I've got. The length is probably partially due to the amount of stuff we can do in the "free time" (basing on the mini map). Maybe the callendar sytem is revamped, or some things just won't use up time. (or most of them are just minor things)
In persona terms these would be severe spoilers
I'm glad they aren't doing this anymore. I've just got the impression they don't want to spoil too much, and most of what we saw was form beginnig of the game. I just don't want them to start showing events that will come later, I guess.TurnipFritters

LMAO I just saw that Anne's Persona appears to be smoking a cigar

Oh don't even.
Besides, knowing me, I'll probably end up thinking she's better off with Ryuji. :/

Since protagonists rarely are my favorites, I'll probably like him better than the MC.
The answer is very likely the second one. PR Managers are told what they need to know, and not much more. As funny as the "Hardin Lied" meme is, he's too much of a nice dude for it to be the first one.
It's kinda sad most people would so readily assume the opposite. John interacts with us fairly often on a pretty casual basis. That's honestly much more than most PR Managers can say.
That's even less likely than P5 releasing in 2015.

Anyone who thinks about it rationally knows John's not to blame. It's no different than Tom reassuring us about Trails 2nd. It's game development, things happen. Especially in the localization process, and we're waiting on both.
I believe option 3, quite frankly. It's the only one that makes sense, unless I seriously overestimate how long it takes to localize a game.
I don't think #hardinlied.

Hardin didn't lie, that's for sure. He was surprised just like us.

Further lending credence to the 'Atlus JP >>> Atlus US' statement. They don't even consider their US branch when they make their moves.
