Yeah, Vincent seems to be having some pretty awesome nightmares for what they are!" I like how there just some random ass pictures of goats as well. "
By the way, this is the official website of Catherine (that's only going to open officially on the 23rd):

Here are some details from Famitsu:
While the game's name is Catherine, the main character is actually a 32-year-old salaryman named Vincent (voiced by Koichi Yamadera). Catherine (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro) is a stylish 22-year-old girl who apparently has the charms of a young girl.
The game begins when Vincent, a vegetarian who has no ambition in work or love (I'm not sure if he's literally a "vegetarian," or if the term "vegetarian" is some sort of metaphor for his personality) runs into the mysterious Catherine one day. At night, he has nightmares.
The nightmares serve as an action component for the game. Set in a world with an unending stairway, Vincent has to make it to the top of the stairs, or he will not be able to awaken. (Sounds a bit Persona 3-ish)
Based off Game Jouhou's summary, it's a bit unclear how the game will progress. However, it does seem that even during the nightmare action parts, you'll end up working through the story and encountering events.
During a staff interview, Hashino said that as their first HD game, rather than trying out a true RPG, the team was excited about trying out something new. It looks like Catherine will be just that, as Hashino said it will be more adult oriented than past titles from the team. It's not all style, though. Hashino promised a deep play experience with plenty of gameplay for players to sink their teeth into.
Soejima said that there are some shockingly adult scenes in the game. When you play these scenes, they'll be even more stimulating, although in a difference sense. (lol)
Meguro confirmed the adult leanings of the title, saying that the keywords for the game's music are "classic," "adult oriented" and "erotic." He also promised 5.1ch sound.
Meguro also made a comment that has Persona fans excited. He said that due to Catherine, he believes for the time being the staff won't be asked about their next title. However, at some point next year, perhaps he'll be able to respond "Regarding the RPG, Hashino and I are..."
I believe it's saying something to the effect of "Those who do not want to die have to climb the stairs."" please someone translate the dialogue of the sheep "
@Icemael: Here's a more in-depth and recent preview written.

It will. There's only one recent Atlus developed game in memory that didn't get localized and that wasn't... a very notable release. Also, it's coming out on 360." This looks cool. Hopefully it's localized, though it probably won't be. "
@Scrumdidlyumptious said:Oh right I forgot how awesome Atlus were! Woohoo!It will. There's only one recent Atlus developed game in memory that didn't get localized and that wasn't... a very notable release. Also, it's coming out on 360. "" This looks cool. Hopefully it's localized, though it probably won't be. "
Yes. YES.
I rub my hands in anticipation over this graphics engine + persona 5.. er
this game looks interesting too
We have been summoning dick monsters and shooting our teenage selves in the head for over ten years now in the SMT franchise." @SpiralStairs:@mutha3:@FluxWaveZ: I hope all of you are right! As a non-Persona gamer, I really want to see what this team can do. It just seems like a hell of a project to localize that's all. New IP, Adult-looking content... I dunno, it just seems like there are factors working against it. "
And Atlus has localized far more obscure titels then this, not to mention:
- their biggest team is working on this
- Atlus has always localized all of their inhouse games(save for one veeeery obscure example)
-There is a 360 version
No worries, we'll see this in the US ;-)
Oh shi-... I just saw someone post this on the NeoGAF thread and I noticed it:
Teddie, from Persona 4, is in this picture.
[EDIT] Ah, heh, Kowal pointed it out before me.
That reminds me:this game could potentially take place in tatsumi port island if P3P is anything to go by. I mean this game doesn't take place several years after P3....but maybe that was just a cameo and these game don't take place in the same universe.
Oh, and something else to point out: Vincent has a certain resemblance to Spike Spiegel (not a lot, but still) and Vincent's Japanese voice actor is Koichi Yamadera, the same guy who voiced Spike. Perhaps that is a hint to who they're aiming for for the Western dub (Steve Blum)?
"Growlanser for the PSP. And they only actually worked on the port and not the original game.
@SpiralStairs said:" @mutha3: What's the one example? "I forgot, sorry. But it wasn't a very good game from what I heard. "
binsento and kyasarin hahahah
Ya its not horrible spam but you didn't say anything or add opinion about the content. You just posted a bunch of pictures and a link. To some who don't know what this is they wouldn't be able to find out without entering the given link." @FizzleNizzleBear said:
" Isn't just adding a bunch of pictures and a link spam "Hey, this ain't no Youtube spam! Also, this is some very important news. "
Duder! This looks mad awesome! The art is just sooo fresh and, being that Atlus is making this, is gonna be one hell of a demonic, wild ride!! Cant wait to see more!
