Unless it's like P4A all over again, just import the US version. There's no reason not to.

That's what I did for P4G. Hopefully Sony's push to have more day one digital releases and avoiding region locking will make another P4A incident less likely. Not to mention the fan backlash P4A caused Atlus.

Hey, I can hope, right?

I have one wish for Persona 5, and that is a satisfying ending for MC from 3. No more of this "stasis" bullshit. His life was a goddamned mess, and he deserves to make it back.

Eh, it'd be a cop out to have his body resurrects years after it died. I think the best we can hope for him is to be able to fade away and rest in peace.

Not for nothing, but it was relatively close to the 20th in Japan when the site updated to Teddie boxes. Perhaps Teddie is just an added teaser for the 4 (as in Persona 4) days left? Perhaps the site will update to something Persona 3 related in the coming day.

And really, it would be silly to create this huge two-month teaser only to spoil it with so little time remaining. Teddie is essentially the mascot of the Persona series, so I'm not taking it to mean anything significant.

Also, they could conceivably bring Teddie back for Persona 5. After all, there's still quite a few unanswered questions about what he is, and how he came to be.

Namely, the question of exactly how a Shadow like him was able to become an independent, sapient being. They kind of handwaved that part in Persona 4.

That would have to be one grizzly of a logic thread though. Since Shadows are born of the thoughts of human counterparts, you would have to play around with the idea that you can spawn life just by thinking, which is quite a subject.

That being said, if shadows are born from people, and Teddy was a shadow, then who was he born from? :iiam: which could make for a crazy reunion, or the realization that something something original human became shadow then became teddy

I don't even think that's necessary, seeing as how we've had incidents before where [spoiler]Shadows attain sentience. Maybe not to the same degree as Teddie does, but you have the Nyx Avatar from P3, and Shadows in general tend to be sentient, just uncontrollable, wild or bestial. I don't think it takes any deus ex machina to provide sentience to them--if anything, it likely just means that Teddie was a child's shadow whose original body died, leaving him adrift or something. It's hard to say, ultimately![spoiler]

I really don't see a new Persona game on the PS4. Unless it was a spin-off title. There are certain expectations with the new consoles, and does Atlus even have the resources to meet them? I think Persona 5 is actually way more likely on the Vita. That or it's just wishful thinking on my part.

All I want is a persona title where the main character is Elizabeth and the supporting cast are her bros and sis. De-power them or whatever, have them go trough the process of being human. It would be hella entertaining.

So excited to wake up to this news. On the PlayStation 3 is a little disappointing, I wanted another Vita game, but that's okay. Another reason to keep the PS3 around. Winter 2014 feels so far away though, and that's going to be only for Japan. The west will have an even longer wait.

I'm really, really hoping we don't end up in one of those situations where it's already so late in the console's lifecycle that they don't consider it worth it to translate.

For what it's worth, Persona 4 came out December, 2008 on the PlayStation 2. So it should be okay. Atlus knows there's a big following here. Sega on the other hand.... But I really don't see why that would be an issue for this game.

I hope so, I may just trade in my 360 towards a PS3. Although I'll feel like an idiot if they announce Persona 5: Chairsona for the vita.

Honestly, I find it hard to believe they won't do that eventually, but it also won't be for at least two years after the game is out in the west, if not longer. They take their sweet loving time on that stuff.

I'm in.

I definitely look forward to P5, although I would greatly prefer it to be on a mobile platform. I've gotten used to being able to pick up and play for a bit, grinding out some dungeon levels and putting it back down again. Consoles are more of a commitment.

I would also like to see a Vita port of P4 Arena. I'm already bad at fighting games so putting it on awkward controls wouldn't be an issue :v:

I really hope there's a poo poo ton of irony in the dance trailer. It could be a fun game, but it's hard to tell how tongue in cheek it is. If it's playing it straight then... That kind of contradicts what a lot of Persona 4 was loving about.

You can't contradict those jams though. They were meant to be danced to.
