Both, no questions.
Square Enix asks fans about if Persona 5/FF15 were out at same time, release hint?

I edited and included that shortly after posting. I don't really like Tabata but I don't hate his work either, and XV is still MOSTLY Nomura's project in terms of how much of it was under his control and got done before directors changed.
It's not impossible it face plants. As far as I can tell Lightning Returns moved less units than Bravely Default.
However, the game at least appears to be in the correct general genre space for the West right now and with so few AAA games coming out, those that remain seem to move a reasonable number of units.
3 million in the West would still be over two million less than Dying Light or Mortal Kombat X for example. It'd probably also be over a million behind Shadow of Mordor.
Square Enix showed some good channel stuffing ability as well when their 4 month shipment for Hitman Absolution was 3.6 million units.

Yeah but Tabata seems hellbent on changing that as much as possible.

One comes after Persona 2, 3 and 4...
The other comes after FF13, 13-2 and Lightning Returns
Lol at even asking.

It only got delayed when they said they were porting it to PS4.
Coulda sworn I read somewhere that Catherine was a test for gamebryo for Persona 5(which they decided against). In either case, 5-6 years in development isn't really all that bad compared to most games. Not to mention a hint that development would start soon in mid december 2009 practically means it started dev in 2010.

Yeeeep
and i think even people are more excited for the other remake than this ..sadly and Persona 5 is what you call the "next step" of an next generation persona game

Question.
Can Persona 5 still impress with another trailer? The previous trailer was pretty beefy and it seems like a game that is much more low key than your typical Final Fantasy game.
On the other hand I still think FF XV can turn a lot of heads with significant gameplay trailers that will surely hype people up.

Cane to post this, was not disappointed..
Release it whenever, atlus will as usual delay our persona release date to a random date in the future

Yeah, Atlus can just show one new character and people will go nuts.
FFXV will have it's hype in March too, I'm sure.

I think Catherine was a test for their new engine.
They've kept out so much information that, yeah, they could.
Catherine was gamebryo, and I thought it was a test as their new engine for Persona 5, and I do know that they're not using gamebryo for P5, but an in-house engine.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
What are the Western AAA games coming out next year though, especially the WRPGs? I'm only mostly aware of the Japanese lineup.

Sorry, Square. I've been waiting for Persona 5 since I beat the fourth.
Late year, Mass Effect.

To answer SE's question, Persona 5.
Times have changed and Final Fantasy is no longer a brand I trust to deliver. The Persona series however is flying high.

Horizon is an open-world game that's on paper as an RPG(but doesn't sound like one, but w/e).

Thread seems full of Persona die hards who have never played a good FF, or FF diehards who haven't played Persona.
Seen many posts like that, I think members of each fanbase feel threatened by a title which could steal the limelight of something they've been anticipating for a long time. It's quite normal on GAF it seems and with fanbases in general.
Really silly considering how apples and oranges they each are and how both XV + P5 are great entry points for newcomers.
We'll probably see at least a 6-8 week gap between the two, so why not play both?
Damn, Atlus (an AA game studio) got SE looking like.

I really doubt that.
Atlus would just be as afraid as you say of FFXV.
Yep, some of the posts in here are embarrassing like the one I quoted
i think that is incredibly silly to assume.
They never said this. All that was said is that Catherine was made in mind to prepare for current generation development. There was a recent comment this year from Hashino about that, but I have to dig it up...
I've played FF 1-2, VI-X, X-2, XII, XIII, personally. I think you'll find a lot less people here who haven't played the prime of FFs than you'll find people who haven't played Persona. I'm not going both because I have no confidance in modern Square and I'll probably still be playing P5 when FF XV comes out unless they adjust their date, and even then I'd wait for a price drop.

True that, I think it's silly to put one against the other. We all love JRPG's here, let's hope they're both good and we can enjoy them.
Personally I always have a special place in my heart for both series.

I'm sure Persona 5 has some interesting history too. The difference is we haven't seen behind the curtains like with FFXV.

There's a lot of drive by posts against each series. It makes you question if these people have much knowledge of both series and not just the one they are championing.
Seems quite common this year to see fanbases for a particular game (Witcher 3, Xenoblade, Bloodborne etc...) to bash one another in certain topics that pit this years games against each other.
Makes it seem like a superiority thing, as opposed to actual clear reasons why people think a certain game has or will be disappointing.
In the second half of the year:
- Destiny 2
- Mass Effect: Andromeda
- Battlefield 5
- Dishonored 2
- Call of Duty: Infinity Ward
- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
We can also presume Assassin's Creed.
Horizon is slated for then, but I don't think it will make it.
Titanfall 2 strikes me as a March 2017 title.
Watch Dogs 2 is a good question.
Suicide Squad will likely be out by then, and maybe Injustice 2 from Warner as well.
I think Mafia 3 is a Fall game, but I could be wrong.
I'm sure I'm missing some things.

KH3 releasing on the same day as those two?
Persona 5 and FFXV both confirmed Q2 2024 releases.

FFXV
Found it; it wasn't this year. September 1, 2014, after Persona 5 was delayed.
It wasn't ever said that Gamebryo was meant to be the engine for P5. It's fully possible the Persona 5 engine was in its planning phases during Catherine's development.

Both, but P5 first. I probably wont touch any game till I spend 100 hours beating it.
Go_Ly_Dow

That's a fair and reasonable outlook. No date is in stone, and I have a feeling P5 will hit in July (just as Catherine did) and XV in September.
I hope the March event and a blowout trailer will restore some confidence for you in the series.
Yup, P4 and FF7 are in my top 3 games of all time.
I would love to see both series become absolute mammoths and perhaps capture a new teenage audience too.
P5 has had a 1.5 year delay, so hasn't exactly been a smooth ship either. Makes me think it's more than just a delay for technical reasons. Perhaps story changes along the way...
However, I do have confidence in Atlus to get it right.

Sorry to go off topic but I forgot the new Mirror's Edge was even a thing. Has there been a lot of media for that and I've just been missing it?
Hes good when not in a position of power, event director and he can be great.

As has been said, the situations are different. P5's struggles had to do with company bullshit outside of the team's power, which they continued to chisel away at while that was happening around them.
Versus' issues on the other hand was the overambitious incompetence of Nomura before he was finally told "enough is enough, you're off the project", which led to a total rewrite, a combat reboot, and a bunch of other stuff that involved building shit on top of Versus' hollowed out corpse. Development was internally and externally a giant clusterfuck, whereas it was just external with P5 (based on what we know).

And Tabata has a hell of a burden on his shoulders trying to save it.

Let's play devils advocate, so why entrust Nomura with the biggest project at SE? It can't be a case of saving face.
