So, er, could someone sum up what transpired of this? We finally have a new persona game in the tubes?

I'm still kinda half convinced the new guy in Arena is tied into P5. The way he calls himself a criminal, and those ball and chain chairs... and his bright red hair. Rival character? Gets-his-own-character-arc main villain?

Now I'm thinking that P5 is about 5 terminally ill people that escape to the shadow world to save themselves but they find out it was really the shadows that was making them and others sick all along.

It's really about the underground railroad and how a group of negro high school students saved the South.

Yep, Persona 5 officially announced, release date in Winter of next year. Also a dancing game, a weird Etrian Odyssey-like Persona 3+4 game (which i'll be buying the poo poo out of), and Arena Ultimax but whatever.

We have 4, 3 of which are new.

Persona 4 U2, which is basically Persona 4 Arena's sequel

A dance game on vita

A 3DS dungeon crawler with the cast of both P3 and P4

And a teaser for Persona 5, which is coming winter 2014.

Three new games announced and some updates on the P4: Arena version upgrade.

Game 1: Persona Q, an Etrian Odyssey style dungeon crawler featuring the casts of Persona 3 and Persona 4. Chibi art style.
Game 2: A Persona 4 rhythm game
Game 3: Persona 5

The way that the chairs look and are lined up in the image on the p5 website suggests a classroom... So, continuation of school setting very likely?

I think the bigger issue is that by the time this is out in English I won't have a PS3 hooked up anymore. PS4 doesn't play PS3 games. They would have already announced it if it was crossbuy with PS4/Vita I think.

A lot's changed in Japan since then. But it's not like some games announced as PS3 exclusive in Japan weren't multi platform in the west.

Yeah, but that's optional. Highschool can be viewed as slavery in a sense, being forced to go every day and not being able to leave.

Yeah, no. None of the current-gen console sare going to outstay their welcome until the next gen has a healthy selection of games and a larger install base. There are a lot more PS3 owners than PS4 owners.

This generation is long in the tooth but the new generation is still at least a year off from being established and further still from everyone giving up their last-gen consoles entirely.

Would have been cool to see more about P5, but I can't complain. Even that short little trailer was pretty cool.

It's 2014, not 2015. Granted, it'd probably be longer for the English version but given how short a wait there was for SMT IV, maybe not that long of one.

Edit: Well maybe not for Europe, since they still don't have SMT IV. But Sega has a EU branch, so maybe they'll pick up the slack. Maybe. :smith:

No one is going to suggest Hatsune Miku in the Persona dancing game?

So it's not Persona Golden 2, but it's still related to Persona 4 somehow.


E: I'd also like to point out that the PS2 only stopped production last year.

I read a lot of people commenting about Dancing All Night saying they wanted Persona 5 on Vita, despite somehow forgetting that Sony portables always get the definitive editions after the fact.

S-E announced FFXHD for Winter 2013 for Japan. Which is when it is coming out. They didn't announce an English release date until pretty recently. It could easily be delayed but it's pretty safe to assume that Winter 2014 probably means Winter 2014 for the moment.

If there's one thing I want the most in P5, it's the ability to sock the comic relief character in the face whenever they come up with a phenomenally terrible idea. If not that, then the ability to avoid getting roped into whatever bullshit they get into once it backfires.

Man, pretty hyped for both P5 and Etrian Odyssey: Persona. Don't really care that there's nothing substantial about P5, but the fact that it's coming out is good enough.

Persona Q's art style kinda reminds me of 7th Dragon's, which is another good thing about it.

Yeah, and when they announced the time frame for the Western release all they said was "Winter". And they're picking the absolute last possible Tuesday in Winter to do it.

They should be, because chibi art styles loving suck, but it's understandable since the 3DS is barely capable of gluing four polygons together. In an ideal world they'd remake the EO engine for Vita to satisfy the five people who own one, but expecting any more from PQ than what you see is patently unrealistic.

It's great that they're finally leaning into the Scooby Doo similarity though.
