Persona 5

[hyl]

The last announcement was a minor waste of time as well, since it only says persona 5 Winter 2014 without showing anything else (aside from slaves, emancipation w/e)

[SilverSyko]

I knew it.~

P5 is being released next year for PS3 in Japan.~

[Dr. Casey]

...



Winter 2014... that's very soon. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised though since Personas 3 and 4 were released but three months after their announcement.

Masterfully done, Atlus. I hope that this whole thing was preserved somewhere, because it really was a nice little experience.

[Chaos2Frozen]

wait, Winter 2014... Isn't that in just two months?

Oh, on the PS3.

So an announcement of announcement. Thanks Atlus!

[FlareKnight]

Now do they mean Winter as in Jan/Feb 2014? Or December 2014?

I guess the latter since they had nothing to show of the game itself.

[SilverSyko]

Some people classify the end of the year as winter, so I'm expecting more around November or December next year.

If it's the same as Anime, Winter season is from Jan to March.

I think it's safe to assume next year

It could be. Read my post Persona 3 was announced March 2006 and released July 2006, Persona 4 was announced March 2008 and released July 2008.

Of course, there is the chance that it does indeed mean late in the year like Silver said, but... dang it, why couldn't they have given an actual release date like they did for Persona Q?

[solidvanz]

Better late than never although we have to wait until 2015. At least, it released on PS3.

[Rias]

With so little revealed, can't help but to think it's Dec 2014...

I'm definitely hoping that's not the case.

[Iron Maw]

I think lesson here is to never trust countdown events from Japanese gaming companies from this era.

What a waste of time, and I thought I had learned after the whole TWENTY 2 iOs fiasco.

[Dr. Casey]

What's wrong, Iron? Persona 5 was announced just like we hoped.

Or are you still mad about all the shenanigans that preceded that?

[solidvanz]

[FlareKnight]

Ok now I can go pass out...

So next year will be something. An odd 3DS crossover, more Arena, dancing times, and (considering localization) early 2015 we'll see Persona 5.

Can't say I'd have been again P5 being further head on the schedule than all those other games.

On the contrary, this was probably the most entertaining countdown I've ever sat through. Basically a rollarcoaster of emotions with the absolutely ridiculous Q and Dancing all Night before we finally, FINALLY, after 5 effing years, get to see our new persona.

Master play Atlus, well done.

[Dextro]

Am I the only one that's really interested in the 3DS game as well as P5? Also: can we get an Arena 2 release in the west? Pretty please Atlus. Even if it's a digital-only release I'll take it.

As much as I want to see Isocchi talk about the show, I think it's time to crash.
