I would probably give any amount of monies to wake up one day and suddenly see Atlus's like entire catalogue on Steam or something.
Won't happen I know, but still, one can dream.
I own every system, so it shouldn't matter which system the game finds it's way on, but I don't want the choice to make the game suffer. I can't see that not being the case if 3DS is the one tapped, so that's why I'm hoping it won't be. Lot of logical reasons why it won't be, but there are also logical reasons why 4 Arena shouldn't have taken 11 months to cross a pond either.

It would force me to temporarily skip P5 at least, since I'm not a fan of Microsoft or their business model. I would pick up the inevitible remake, though
But jesus; the meltdowns. It would be like Bayonettagate on a catastrophic scale.
Forget the meltdowns here; I'd wanna see the kind of meltdowns the Japanese fanbase would have. It'd almost be worth it.
That's what I said, but Dantis seems to think the system will be too weak for it. Or at least he did think that.

I would LOVE to see that meltdown

Can you imagine it with Japanese fans and they way they behave? Someone would like, burn their entire Persona collection and destroy all their figures and stuff and make a ragepost on 2ch.
A direct port isn't possible. A scaled down port is feasible depending on the scale of the game, but would require outsourcing to a seperate company (Like when Bluepoint was hired to port Playstation All Stars).
If it's going to be on Vita it will be later on, I'm sure of it.
Are you still grossly underestimating what the Vita is capable of
The Vita is not capable of playing direct ports of PS3 games.
Oh come on? Since when has ever Atlus outsourced a MegaTen port in their 25 year history?
The meltdown will be glorious.
I mean they already did it when the PS3 port of ToV was announced.
These are all scaled down ports. None are direct (Except for things like Guacamelee, but that obviously doesn't count, haha).

Is this an Arena joke?
They're direct enough to interact with each other.
...Which is completely besides the point.
They use seperate assets. Persona 5 would be no different. A direct port is not possible.
Assets are not magic. Scaling them down is trivial.
Lol.
Which is why Bluepoint was hired to port Playstation Allstars. Because it's trivial.
This conversation is fast becoming a farce.
Everything about Playstation Allstars's development history suggests the Vita version wasn't planned originally. Hence Bluepoint's involvement.
And it's not exactly trivial to scale something down. It all depends on what your development pipeline looks like.
No, because you can't just wedge a separate project into an existing project no matter how trivial it is. It's a management and planning issue.

The most feasible reason for it not happening at launch is that a $40 (or JP equivalent) MSRP would eat into their console sales.
But with the importance of handheld gaming in Japan, and how Index has already planted the seeds for the Persona brand on Vita, I can't see it not happening at all. Most likely is a few months down the line with crossplay, ala DoA5 or the like.

P5 the MMO. Social links just got real.
Had enough of those moments in WoW as I've played it over the years. Don't get me wrong, it's neat solving people's problems when you've never actually met them, but yeah.
There aint nothing wrong with pre-Heartland Rock/Country Bon Jovi.
Bon Jovi is amazing, you madman.

I haven't played online yet so I would like to, depends what time. You guys still new to the game? I've been trying challenge mode but it makes my brain overheat.
My god you literally hate everything good don't you? The jello I knew with the honeywoman avatar wasn't a hater

Nah, I'm just very very opinionated about music.

"opinionated" is code for "I'm a hater"

Sure thing, keep me posted.
And they could do worse than that adult noir motif the fan music channel has suggested.
OK you caught me.

Queens of the Stone Age.

Hatin on Bon Jovi... wat is dis....
Good choice!
Also good choice~!
Persona is extremely anime, whatever that means. I feel that many use it simply as a misnomer, and it's hard to divorce it from the preconception that runs deep for some. Unfortunately, that means that it's essentially a derogatory term around these parts, a lazy crutch - separate from any real meaning, that people like to implicate in their grandstanding.
Maybe it's indicative of a portion of anime, but it's not all anime. The same applies for anything else really, but things becoming homogenized - though you'd hope that things can still be judged on their own terms.
Using such tags, well, it just stifles discussion.

Persona 1 and 2 feel pretty divorced from a lot of anime tropes, but I think that's because they're more SMT influenced.
Yamai outright said they got Doi to do SMTIV's art to make it more accessible.
