Yep, Persona 5's Coming to North America

@believer258: I suspect the majority of the people saying that don't honestly expect it to happen. It's practically a meme now.

I wish people would stop yelling "ENDURANCE RUN!"

That was kind of a one-time thing. P4 was the perfect game that came along at the perfect time for the perfect two people to play. Half the reason the ER was so memorable is because nobody expected P4 to be as good as it was (except maybe the people that had already played it).

If Jeff and Vinny decide to Endurance Run it, then great! I will probably watch it. I just don't think it will be quite what some of you guys would expect.

EDIT: Though, I do hope that they give it a lengthy enough Quick Look.

You are slave.

This!

Persona 4: Dancing All Night is coming stateside?
LOL. Out of all the games shown during that stream, that is the one I expected to stay as a Japanese exclusive.
Well, the more games, the merrier, I suppose. :P

Sounds like Vinny and Jeff have a job to do ;)

My favorite go-to comment on any persona-related forum.

It's a known issue; sorry. Being looked into.

@believer258: Yeah there is some weird hocus pocus going on here. =\

Man, there's some funky shit going on here. @patrickklepek's news isn't on the first page when I click on this from the forums, and all of this:

started off in a completely different thread altogether. This one, to be exact. And when I click on this link from the news section, the first few comments are recorded as being posted in 2009, when Patrick posted this article in February of 2014. And those comments are about color, for some reason. I seem to remember a thread where Persona 5's main color was a point of discussion.

Guess I should tag @rorie?

I am a Persona slave! Manumit me.

Time travel theme confirmed?

I do not expect that to happen again. There were very specific circumstances that led to that happening, not the least of which being Index's financial woes, which is no longer a factor.

Because the PC totally doesn't have any exclusives or anything. If you want to get down to the nitty-gritty you could argue that the PC has several tiers of exclusives, since unlike a console simply buying a PC isn't enough to guarantee you'll be able to play everything released for it, even within the same lifespan as a console.

Also Catherine was not an expensive game, relatively speaking. It was on an HD console and looked pretty for what it was, but it was a very small scale game. The type of game you make to test the waters of new consoles before jumping in with something much bigger and more expensive.

How was this first commented on in 2009?

2020 Persona 5 EU

2015 marks the return of the Endurance Run! Mark my words!!

Seriously though, I want them to Endurance Run this game while it's still fresh so that some jerk doesn't email them a spoiler-filled web comic during it... freaking jerk whoever that was.

Yurop? What's that?

But it's Europe we're worried about!

If only.

I swear on all that is holy, if Atlus region locks this game like they did with the fighting game... I will leave several aggressive notes with occasional begging online where Atlus will likely never look.

Thank god P4D is coming over. Also, as I had predicted no 360 version.

I will probably just import it from the US. I don't want to wait for however long it takes to get it to Europe.

I'm not.

It's been worked on since at least 2011 (so it's not a quick cash grab) and Atlus knows persona is it's most profitable series so I'd imagine they would want to be as mindful of the quality as possible since you won't really make a lot on remakes/anime/spin-offs if nobody liked the first game.

So.... 2016 for Europe? My PS3 is still waiting to fulfill it's purpose before it can be laid to rest.

@patrickklepek Not to be super picky but shouldn't this be filed under persona 5 or the persona franchise page instead of persona 4?

Has Patrick even ever played a Persona game?

Guys, allow me to translate the article.

Persona 5 Endurance Run Endurance Run Endurance Run Endurance Run "winter" of 2014 in Japan, Endurance Run Endurance Run Endurance, Run. Atlus has announced Persona 5 Endurance Run coming to North America in 2015.

(That gives me plenty of time to finally play Persona 4 Golden on my Vita!)

Right now, Persona 5 is only scheduled for Endurance Run on PlayStation 3. A version for PlayStation 4 Endurance Run Endurance Run would be nice, though!

Atlus also confirmed the other Endurance Run Persona games--Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Persona 4: Dancing All Night--are coming over, as well. The update to Persona's Endurance Run arrives this fall, while the series' introduction to Endurance Run next year.

Endurance Run Translator

Hmm... are white people keeping Japanese slaves in Persona 5 too?

@alwaysbebombing: More like we have to endure until 2015! amiright!? eh! eh!

Now I kind of worry about will it live up to the hype...

All I'm reading is endurance run.

Really bummed out about P5 not being in 360. I'd rather not have to buy a PS3 in friggin' 2015.

Definitely getting the Vita game, and probably the 3DS one.

I hope I can shoot myself in the head in this one.

This one better not have stupid region-locking.

Take a deep breath, deep breath, deep breath.

Atlus has us coming back for more.

Works for me. 2015 just got a bit better!

That's a full year away :(

Control + F Endurance Run

Nothing.

ENDURANCE RUN MOTHERFUCKERS.

Wait, we're getting the Persona rhythm game as well?

Based Atlus.

BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY

Hype

"Can you imagine the step, he's genius!"

Yeah, a streaming version for PS4 so I can get to 4 times my data cap for the month on that alone. We paid an overcharge of $150 last month mostly because I watched to much Giantbomb in HD and that wasn't even twice the limit of 120Gb.

Pretty stoked, especially for Persona Q, since that might get here a little sooner.

Still gotta play Digital Devil Saga 2!

@patrickklepek You should also add that the 3DS cross-over game, Persona Q, is also coming stateside as well.

Happy to hear they're all making it over, especially Q. I'm hoping Persona 5 will be out at least in the first half of 2015, judging by the separation between the Japanese and American release dates of P4

Your Future awaits
