Well I guess we'll see what SEGA has to say about localizing it and bringing it over to the USA. That should be interesting.

Are we going to need to wait another generation before Atlus learns to use contractions?

Wow, so 3 new Persona game announcements in one day and an update on the fighting game sequel (which doesn't list platforms in the trailer so I am assuming it is still only announced for arcade).

So Persona 5 I think can be assumed that it is probably a whole new cast (with some minor cameos one would assume).

Persona Q has the 3 & 4 casts in chibi form and it is being directed by the Etrian Odyssey director so it is probably a dungeon crawler, battles look like they take place in 3rd person though.

Persona 4: Dancing All Night looks fun, the series music is so good that I'll probably just grab it for that.

It's going to be a long wait for 5 in North America but hopefully the localization work on the other titles sees a fast turn around.

To everyone complaining about this going to ps3, WHY do you complain? Is this something new? Persona 3 and 4 came out when ps3 was out but it was still ps2. ps4 just got released so why have persona 5 skip ps3? The graphics were never the selling point but rather the music, gameplay, story and cast. What benefit would ps4 bring to this game? Totally Cereal Question.

Now im sad because Endurance Runs dont seem to be a thing anymore :(

If anything brings them back, it will be this...

I distinctly remember the Bomb Squad shooting down the idea of them ever doing an Endurance Run of another Atlus game, but perhaps actually being faced with the reality of Persona 5 will change their minds.

I would pay money to see Vinny and Jeff go through P3: FES.

I think they'd get a kick out of the MMORPG Social Link.

I probably shouldn't even bother hoping for a 360 version, should I? Maybe I'll find a cheap PS3 before it comes out.

Didn't Persona 4 come out late in the PS2 era? Seems to be a trend with these games. Not complaining though, always regret never taking the time to play through Persona 4.

They sold PS2's up until 2010 or 11; let's not be stupid and assume "last-gen" systems will completely vanish tomorrow.

Reminder: the Dancing All Night game is going to be made by the developer that did the Hatsune Miku games.

Localization by Google Translate.

To be fair, PS Plus is making me keep a PS3 for awhile, never going to finish all those games so I'm okay with keeping it around for this.

If there's any game that will lead to an Endurance Run, it's sure is hell this. I'm pretty damn excited.

Ok, so wild mass guessing time about Persona 5 here.

The tag line in it is "You are slave. Want emancipation?" which hints at some kind of plot about gaining your freedom.

So, cut to the trailer released at the same time for the new Persona 4 Arena game, which has several new characters, most of whom we've seen from P4 and P3. EXCEPT for Sho, the red head. In the trailer Sho, makes a remark that he's "just a criminal, here to sharpen my blades on your throat."

Sho's appearance in that trailer has a red back ground (he also has red hair). Red also happens to be the predominant color in the P5 trailer.

So, here is my guess: Sho is a character from the up coming Persona 5, and is a criminal who is being used to fight shadows in order to earn his freedom.

According to a certain very unreliable website, for ATLUS's more recent releases, there was a 5 month gap between the US and JP version of P4. 5 months for P4G, 8 months for P4A, 8 for P3P, 5 for Catherine. And let's not forget they also do a buncha other games like SMT, Devil Survivor, Etrian Odyssey, etc (and those took anywhere between 2, for SMT4, to 7, for EO4).

They took 13 for P3 and 12 for P3:FES, but those are many years ago and they've probably staffed up by now.

Averaging that out, you'll probably only see P5 in English about 5-6 months later, in Q3 2015 earliest. Good luck maintaining that hype.

P4A was a simultaneous release. (The original arcade release doesn't really count.)

They've been pretty speedy with their releases lately, and clearly have been starting their localizations pre-Japanese launch, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was true of this game too and it was out within a few months of the Japanese version.

Simultaneous unless you lived in Europe where it wasn't released until May this year.


You know what he meant. At least Atlus won't make a mistake like they did with Arena this time and region lock it, so you guys can still import it.

Buying PS3 this year was the best idea. Thing's going out with a bang.
