These dunce cap avatars are very fitting.

That's true.
The man's a fraud. Time to blame him for everything that goes wrong between now and summer 2016.
Dented my car? Blame Hardin!
The dunce cap is a reflection of the true self.
Of course not, don't be silly. I'm not even sure why you'd assume that, much less call it a "fiasco."
Going off past experiences, I don't think Hardin (like most PR people) knows the status of the localization. If he does know the status of it, he definitely can't tell us as I've said before.
I am soooo glad I didn't take any bet. Now my dunce cap free avatar of Aigis stands out in a sea of duncy people.

If he was surprised, then he should have checked in with the localization team to get a sense of how things are going. For a late 2015 release they would have been gearing up for a SCEA TRC pass within the next few weeks, if not have done one already. And even that's already cutting it really close, since you're risking a lot if you don't make it through first pass and have to do a bunch of fixes for a resubmission - the SCEA cert teams only have so much capacity this time of year, and if you don't reserve a slot in time you're not getting in the queue for the holiday push.

Indecision! Fuck yeah!
*High fives*
That wasn't indecision tho! That was just my gut telling me it was a bad idea combined with the fact that I never take an avatar bet that I don't somehow win.
... Neutrality, then?

The menus have more style than the vast majority of games and they know it because they put them in the first gameplay reveal.

lol I didn't know about this.
Yeah, I don't know what really happened. I believe he will explain here later.
Nope.

The interview trailer has some stellar dungeon content, surprised it wasn't in the TGS video.

Did he said something after the "crisis"? I wasn't here during the events.
I would assume that he can't say anything about this simply because he's an Atlus employee.
Ganzlinger

I see. But I thought he was some sort of PR...

He posted this during the middle of the trailer reveal:
And then posted this a minute later:
It makes me think he didn't know, but who knows.
I doubt he's allowed to talk about the inner workings of the company. That's pretty standard for any workplace.
But I guess overthinking stuff is what we do best in this thread so....
Like the blurry letters in the release date by the end of the trailer , which some people think is a kinda hidden message rofl.

Not the inner workings but more like an "official note" and "apologies" from Atlus. But I guess Hashino already covered it.
I know Hardin has responsability, he wouldn't do something reckless.

Hence all the changed avatars?
I feel like I wasn't thinking at all when I said 2015.

I don't think that's so unreasonable, I mean we haven't even gotten to the main event of the stream yet, so it's not inconceivable that Atlus have hidden something to tease it.
Spectrasonic

Atlus did issue a press release that said:
ATLUS said:
Also, figured I change my avatar since it seemed a bit too cheery for the P5 news we got today
Eh, I think it's just style. Here's something from the first #FE trailer I didn't see anyone mention:
This is how the words fade out into the trailer's opening. Why wouldn't they all fade out together, normally? I don't think there's any real reason behind it, and the same goes for the blurring, too.
Dont get me wrong like i say like 10 times already in here , i believe the reason Atlus give us this trailer right to the start is because Atlus is playing with us and have something else for the end...
Like i dont know another Release date or maybe something more exact (like July 21th 2016 for example) , a worldwide release date , some persona 5 music release i dont know. But something is going to happen in the main event ... i got that feeling.
We got our answers tomorrow (in my timezone).
I did not expect to see PV3 so soon. Do we think they're still saving some stuff for the stage show? 2016 date is sad, but whatever it takes to make the game what it can be is fine. My avatar doesn't really suit the dunce cap well, so I kind of had to half ass it. Guess it makes the embarrassment all the more biting, haha.

I believe in a hidden message. lmao.
Everything will be forgiven if they announce a P3/4 PS4 Collection. lulul
Ganzlinger
Member
Am I the only one who wants a sequel to P3/P4 rather than a remaster/HD/collection?
I'd rather they never touched those characters again. They had their development. P4A shows what happens when they try to force more story after those games. The only thing P4/P3 related I'd like at this point is silly side stuff like Q or a P3 where the FeMC gets full animated cutscenes.
CrimsonFist
Member
I don't want either
Spectrasonic
Member
Even if it did mean anything, it's been too cryptic for anyone to figure out, making it a moot point anyway.
If by sequel you mean Persona 3 Dancing All Night hell yes ....
And personally no , i dont want a Persona 3.8 or Persona 4.7 .... leave the games alone as they are. We got enough with the spinoffs games been canon stories to see what happen to those guys... (at least in p4 side mostly).
Ganzlinger

I like the P4A story. I already played those games to death, so I wouldn't be willing to play a remastered version.
Both of these sound terrible to me.
XiaNaphryz
LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Given the choice, I would always prefer to have a new game than a remaster/re-release.
We've seen what happens when they try to write another story with those characters when the main team is busy and it's not good. I do want a definitive P3, though.
P4A felt to me like they just reset all the characters back to their base trait and attempted to start over with them. It really rubbed me the wrong way. The new characters had good arcs, but the returning ones feel like 2D versions of their former selves.

No bad ideas. Only godawful, wasteful executions.
No, bad ideas. No matter the execution on the concept, I would detest it if any of that was announced.

I've already begun pre-emptively shipping Ryuji with the MC, Anne can have Morgana.
Did you learn nothing from Ultimax?
Ganzlinger
Member
I'm just assuming that blurred thing is hiding something. It's not something I'm proposing but assuming we'll have to deal with it anyway. And if we are going to have more P3 and P4 I hope for something new rather than recycling the games.
A Dead Diehard

Then I'll enjoy feeding off your salt.
I learned that the P3/P4 crew can still be done good in an RPG, at least.
PQ2, son!
Crackpot idea for the "01" part. It's the last P3/P4 game before the countdown reaches "00" and they move on to P5 for good.
Ganzlinger
Member
I only felt like that regarding Akihiko.
The bad thing about Ultimax is the villain and its goal. The characters are still great to me, and with a diferent story and gameplay, it could work imo.
Chie is the worst offender IMO. A lot of the other P4 cast fall really flat as well.

Probably worth mentioning that, going by a couple of translations, Hashino said in his video that there will be a special surprise during the final event that relates to Persona 5. Assuming that's the big event, it kind of rules out HD ports.

None of the Persona characters are really interesting enough to carry the number of spin-offs that have been forced upon their weary backs.
If anything, I'm hoping that Persona 5 is being developed with spin-off potential in mind so that they will give the characters room to grow in spin-offs instead of being "ha, ha, that chie sure loves steak right." Not withholding content, exactly, but thinking like "oh yeah, Anne is probably the type of character who would do X"
